Hollow Soul

You know I live by the feather and die by the sword, and I will sunder the world to burn the reward.

ㅤ❛ㅤ As I walk through the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil for I am the evilest son of a bitch. ㅤ❜ㅤ

⚔︎ rule 001.

⸺ policy ⸺

  Zero-tolerance    policy for transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, misandry, racism, ableist and any other forms of bigotry.

⚔︎ rule 002.

⸺ themes ⸺

  I am 21+ and am most comfortable if my writing partners are as well.     I am open to all types of RP, but I am most interested in dark/mature themes. Erotica will never happen in-game, but I am fine discussing it in discord.

⚔︎ rule 003.

⸺ conflict ⸺

  I will generally not put Vivian in any form of conflict unless it is discussed OOC & I am comfortable with you.    The reason for this is that he can be very rude, very volatile when the right buttons are pressed and he will have no issue burning bridges, hurting, maiming or killing to get his point across and he is determined enough to succeed.That being said, if you intend to prod him just to get a try and piss him off (and without at least asking me in tells), it will not happen, and he will more likely never find a need to speak to that character ever again. Try something or someone else.

⚔︎ rule 004.

⸺ relationships ⸺

  In regards to romantic interest.     I am multiship. I have and will have more than one ship that are their own alternate universe. I am very selective. That being said, I welcome any friendship/rivalry/enemy, etc. Any friendship with Vivian will always be a slow burn, as Vivian is not an easy man to get along with or tolerate.

⚔︎ rule 005.

⸺ bleed ⸺

  IC =/= OOC.     Vivian is not a good or nice person. What Vivian says or does is not a reflection of me or an indication that I dislike you or your character.

⚔︎ rule 006.

⸺ writing ⸺

  I prefer discord.     I will happily write in venues and do one-shot scenes in-game, but for anything more meaningful and longer, I much prefer discord. It allows me to write more than what I could in-game. Adding to that, however, I am a slow writer. It will sometimes take me time to reply. Please be patient with me.

⚔︎ rule 007.

⸺ model swap ⸺

  Vivian is a Miqo'te using a Viera model.     If things like this bother you, then I would recommend seeking RP somewhere else.

⸺ Hollowed Saint

❝ Godspeed to my enemies who've been askin' for that call sign. ❞

  PERSONALITY    A stoic man of few words and even less expressions (expect to see the same deadpan, even when he is being humorous). Though people seem to often associated him with violence, Vivian does not act unprovoked.Do not forget. It is your own undoing if he bites back.

⚔︎ history

A simple history. He is found and assumed born somewhere in Tural before being adopted by Garleans, Regina and Leonidas, and raised in a relatively normal house (albeit often empty house. He attends the Magitek Academy, where he excels in his tinkering craft. After graduating early, he disappears.His whereabouts can be summarized as thus; a garlean research facility built somewhere in Landis. Today it is unoperational, but may hold some interesting information if one has the abilities to crack open its steel doors. Assuming that someone else has not already gotten there first.He travels from Landis, through Corvos, to Thavnair, where he lives for a short while. He begins to build a reputation as a mercenary and procures a small crew of people to do odd jobs for those that need it. Eventually, he and that of his crew board a vessel to Limsa Lominsa, where they continue to build their work ethics.Graveyard Shift makes it's home in Ishgard, nestled somewhere in a once abandoned cathedral now remade. While the location is, for some reason, not easy to find... it is relatively easy to find one of the crew or the Captain nearby.

Did you truly see her? Or was it in a dream? There's an emptiness that expands when she is near. If you happen to see her.. the beast is either nearby or asleep.

You better hope it is the latter...

⚔︎ For Hire.

⸺ mercenary ⸺

+ Leader of mercenary group known as the Graveyard Shift, Vivian and his crew can do a variety of work upon request (and proper payment). If one is in need of a bodyguard, bounty or treasure hunter, missing persons (or item), or even that of a morally ambiguous nature.+ Vivian is also a genius engineer, capable of crafting and repair of a wide range of mechanical and weaponized items such as magitek, weapons, prosthetics, robotics, and dolls. If someone is in need of some form of repair or deft hand to create something new, Vivian is a more than capable option.+ No prior relation needed. Can just walk up to him and ask to hire him for merc work or engineering projects.

⚔︎ Corrupted.

⸺ of the void ⸺

+ Vivian is a Voidsent, though only recently made privy of this information about himself and is still learning about what this means for him. If this is a point of interest for someone to engage or antagonize, please feel free. This is not information Vivian gives away freely (and often times he will act a little apprehensive when recognized as such), but anyone with aethersight will be able to see, at the very base of it all, the void that is his own aether.+ Any relation to the 13th Shard may also be a point of interest.+ Contact with his blood can cause people to become sick or otherwise. Results can vary.

⚔︎ Regeneration.

⸺ undying ⸺

+ Vivian heals slower than what is considered normal for people around him (even without the help of healing hands), and those that are given the chance to try and heal him will find their magic considerably ineffective towards doing anything for his injuries or ailments.+ That being said.. he does always seem to heal up eventually regardless of the injury's severity, even those that should probably kill him.

⚔︎ Dubious Medicine.

⸺ not malpractice ⸺

+ If one is lucky or unlucky enough to drink one of his healing potions.. it might ring some curious questions about how it works and how it was made. Regardless, drinking these potions will have obvious regenerative properties that fit to even rival a skilled conjurers healing abilities. Those who drink it will feel revitalized with their injuries or ailments begin to alleviate.+ Potions are easily obtainable if your muse is a fighter at the Morgue.

⚔︎ Garlemald.

⸺ frozen hell ⸺

+ Vivian grew up in Garlemald and attended the academy until graduation, as well as be apart of his parent's legion as a medic for a short while until he suddenly disappeared. It is not far fetched for someone to think they recognize him as a former classmate, soldier, or are aquainted with his family of high ranking.

⚔︎ Misc.

⸺ everything else ⸺

+ Skilled Fighter. Main weapons include a polearms and a steel chain rope, but he can fight just as well with his fists (and his teeth). If your muse wishes to fight him, antagonizing him is easy (or just simply ask for a fight, he will often be happy to oblige).+ Two prosthetics made of custom magitek. Left arm from shoulder down & right leg from thigh down. May be a point of interest or conversation.+ Classically Trained Musician.+ Isghard is Graveyard Shift's base of operations. Vivian is better known there as The Black Dragon or simply as Fray. Anyone who lives in Ishgard for long enough will be aware of him and his crew in some capacity.+ Takes in and cares for a variety of creatures: strays, dragonlings, smaller voidsent, & one moogle, etc. Vivian may sometimes show up to events with one of these creatures in tow.+ Keen interest in the occult.
