There's a place I like to hide, a doorway that I run through in the night. Relax, child, you were there but only didn't realize and you were scared.

If you open your mind for me you won't rely on open eyes to see. The walls you built within will come tumbling down and a new world will begin.

Abilities

AETHER ATTUNED: The ability to distinguish aether per person via sight, scent, and taste. Perceives small fluctuations in aether making her difficult to trick or take by surprise.AETHER HUNGER: Unable to produce her own aether as normal mortals, resulting in a constant hunger and desire for aether. Able to replenish through multiple means, has a preference for direct supply of aether given from mortals. Only one known instance of death related to this consumption.SHAPESHIFTER: The ability to change shape into most living forms. Seems to only work with forms she is familiar with. May result in gender swapping and/or racial swapping. Known to wear the appearance of a dusky Mi'qote.SPACIAL MANIPULATION: Can seemingly create or summon small things either through use of small portals or summoning magics, exact ability unknown. Has been noted to produce articles of clothing, books, and food seemingly from thin air. Additionally, seems able to clean things in a similar manner, has been noted to free herself of grime without the need to wash clothing. Sexual partners have reported feeling or seeing disembodied hands during intercourse.DREAMWALKER: Known to manipulate or create illusions & imprint them in a susceptible mind, usually creating intense sexual gratification without the need to physically stimulate. Possible uses include therapeutic & torturous, though tormenting has not been observed in the subject. This ability makes the subject highly intuitive & empathic, able to sense the emotions or even outright desires of her prey.

Positive

CONSENT NEEDED: Despite being voidsent, Vyr has retained her sense of self & morality. What's more, her sire has impressed upon her the importance of obtaining consent in all areas.LEVEL-HEADED: Even when her emotions run wild, Vyr's actions are usually dictated by a reasonable mind, calculating her responses to ensure the best result.OPEN-HANDED: While her sire prefers to trade favors, Vyr prefers to garner favor. She gives freely of wealth and kindness, seeking to foster allies rather than deal in quid pro quo.DETERMINED: Once she sets her mind to something, Vyr is dogged in finishing the task with the best outcome.PERCEPTIVE: Vyr possesses a sharp mind with an eye for detail and a deep sense of empathy. Even as a mortal she could sense the emotions of others, a trait that has deepened with her change to voidsent.CHAMPION OF THE ABUSED: Probably for personal reasons, Vyr absolutely abhors the mistreatment of others at the hands of those who are supposed to care for them. If she comes across someone being mistreated in this manner, she is likely to put enormous effort into freeing said person from that situation. This can sometimes be a detriment, but is mostly a positive trait.CHARISMATIC: Vyr is not obviously charismatic in the sense that people feel drawn to her, but she is unusually persuasive.

Negative

SECRETIVE: Prone to carrying her thoughts and plans close, Vyr finds it difficult to open up to others.APATHETIC: Barring the things that really, truly bother or intrigue her, Vyr is not often moved by the plight of others.CONSTANT HUNGER: If she doesn't manage her aether intake regularly, Vyr can become ravenous and risks losing touch with her humanity in order to sate the hunger she feels.VOLATILE: Frequently given to brief outbursts, sometimes violent sometimes verbal, when things irritate her.WARY: Vyr's wariness of others is difficult to overcome. She does not trust easily, even if she's outwardly friendly.SELFISH: Concerned first and foremost for her own safety and well-being, Vyr puts her own interests above those of most others. Few can be counted as those she would sacrifice for.TRUE NEUTRAL: While opportunity may present itself to aid others, Vyr usually has ulterior motives for doing so and is more likely to seek a sure way to better her standing in some regard. However, that is not always the case, making it difficult to discern what her motives may be, if any exist at all outside of a desire to fill her time.

History

For most of her life, Vyr-- born Aoife Flynn-- lived in Limsa Lominsa, the daughter of refugee merchants. Her father was from Ala Mhigo, though her mother came from a lesser Ishgardian house, Lemaire. Much of her childhood was spent playing alongside her twin sister, Lara. By all accounts the pair were inseparable, often running to market together and helping their mother with various household tasks. From an early age she displayed a talent with others, always eager to please and perceptive to what those around her needed. As she grew into adulthood, these traits suited her well as a courtesan, dancer, and singer who plied her trades in several taverns in her adopted home city.Only when Vyr moved to larger establishments did she become embroiled with Raventys family. Only a short time later she ceased to be mortal, though the exact details of how this came to be are unknown. Shortly after this transformation, Vyr returned home to Limsa to visit her sister. The exact altercation that ensued is unknown, as only one living person remains and Vyr has never spoken of it. Somewhere between Lara leaving for an evening with their parents and Vyr arriving to her house, Lara's husband was brutally murdered, leaving little trace of the man but for an immense amount of blood strewn about the house. It was Lara who came to greet her sister only to discover the gory scene.Lara reported to the authorities she'd seen a horrifying voidsent devour her husband and sister before her eyes, but it hadn't noticed her outside the window of the home. She claimed to witness it disappear into the dark, uncertain where exactly it went. With no bodies to bury and no sign of the voidsent, an empty casket was laid to rest bearing the name Aoife Flynn.Vyr rarely returned to Limsa Lominsa and went through great pains to change her appearance, made all the more easier by her newfound abilities. For several years she kept to Gridania, nestled in the heart of a club rumored to be run by demons that catered to high paying clientele looking for thrills. When she did leave the club or Gridania, it was always in the company of two sell-swords, Arik and Arngier. Even when the club shifted locations to Ishgard did the two follow her, though her connections extended to the Noble Phantasms of House Azeros, where she began to keep company of one Renton Hartman, a magitek broker who likes to moonlight as a bartender.Notably, Vyr has returned to Limsa Lominsa somewhat openly, though she still keeps the name Vyr. Lara, in turn, has taken up residence in Ishgard as the new Lady Lemaire after the passing of their grandfather.

Foremost

Long-term relationships are based off chemistry between characters. Enemy and / or rival arcs are encouraged as well.
Vyr is adept at reading those around her & picking up on emotions. Let me know if there's something you want Vyr to pick up specifically or if this trait is somehow blocked.
Romantic relationships are possible, but bear in mind that Vyr is polyamorous. She will not be settling down with one relationship, ever. Her very nature makes it difficult to rely on only one person for her needs to be met, so multiple physical entanglements & relationships are inevitable. That being said, the messiness and jealousy that can stem from these types of situations can make for good scenarios!
Vyr's relationship status is also not a reflection of my own OOC and I am not seeking to use RP as a means to find new IRL partners.

Hooks

FIXER - Vyr is a fixer with a focus on finding things, be it an object or the right person for a job. She's available for hire as an intermediary.
CHANCE ENCOUNTER - As an entertainer, she spent many hours in public spaces in Limsa Lominsa and was fairly well known both for her voice and fluidity of movement. She is a resident of Limsa and can be found regularly around the city.
COMMUNITY TIES - Due to her association with the Raventys family, Vyr traveled to Gridania frequently and is rumored to be involved in an establishment that caters to dark desires if you have deep enough pockets. This establishment has recently moved to Ishgard, however, and she hasn't been seen in Gridania for some time.
STUDIOUS - She has an interest in aetherical study and has been seen purchasing whatever tomes she can get her hands on. There's gossip about the strange woman willing to pay any sum for books on the topic, the rarer the better.
SHARLAYAN RESEARCH - There is a small group of researchers that will pay good money for information on this particular voidsent, as she's one of few recorded that has been created & retained her humanity, so to speak. Attempting capture is not advised, but if successful will pay a very large sum.
AETHER-LUST - As Vyr prefers to feed off aether from others, she's known to take on thralls that are willing to feed her in exchange for protection, money, shelter, or as part of a sexual exchange. Those that earn her trust may also earn her mark, lending a deeper and more emotional connection that can be sensed & utilized over great distances.

Rumor

"... I've seen her at that high-end club, the posh one where nobles go to unwind. I hear they got a recent shipment of adult implements purchased from a Magitek broker..."

"... they call her a succubus, tellin' ya she'll suck your soul right out yer body if ya give her 'alf a chance..."

"... claims he works for a research group out of Sharlayan that capture and study voidsent, says this one's of particular interest. Been told she's too dangerous to capture, but she looks pretty ordinary and if we can snag her I hear tell there's a hefty sum..."

"... came into my shop looking for the oldest available tomes on aetherical study. I told her someone her age couldn't possibly afford what I have, entire institutions pay for these, but she told me to name my price and walked out with three of my oldest tomes..."

"... unnatural, it is, that whole family. They've no business dealing with mortals, I imagine someone of high rank is pulling their strings. There is no way they have 'retained their humanity', it's a farce and best dealt with swiftly before someone is killed..."

"... a woman one minute and when I turned again, nothin' but a black coeurl sittin' there, starin' at me with big green eyes..."

"... looks just like Aoife, swear it, but her sister will hear none of it. Poor lass, lost her husband and twin in the blink of an eye, they never found the voidsent what done it...."

Vyr, Nicki | 35
PST time zoneIN GAME
Vyr'lara Raventys, Halicarnassus
Found frequently on Brynhildr & Balmung (always horny on main.)
1/3 owner of club Asmodeus on Halicarnassus, Dynamis DC
Twitch DJ available for bookings on NA & EUBACKGROUND IN RP & WRITING
I have been writing for over a decade, first starting out in forum RP on GaiaOnline. I participated in some long-standing stories with a focus on quantity and quality, something I rectified when I moved into novel writing and began to focus solely on quality. I have several unpublished manuscripts I swear I'm still working on.I write in third person omniscient narrative, though I try to convey more with my character's actions and expressions than with outright narration. 1-2 paragraphs usually, though I can match my partners.DISCLAIMER
I get a lot of pings in discord and receive a lot of messages for many reasons. I also work from home, so I may be "online", but slow to reply. If I take too long & you haven't heard from me in a while, please feel free to message me again, give me a little poke! ADHD brain makes me easily distracted and forgetful, but I try my best.

FFXIV LORE
I am lore-bendy, or try my best to remain such. I enjoy the lore of FFXIV (else why would I RP here, right) and I while I try to remain true to lore as much as possible, there is a lot to remember and I sometimes write fast and loose with concepts.
For clarification, the term demon(s) is used as slang for voidsent.COMBAT
Vyr is not very combat focused, but I am willing to dabble and prefer to talk out a combat scene first to get an idea of where we want to go and why. Dice rolls are also fine, though not my preference. Sparring can be off-the-cuff.ERP
ERP is fine, though I prefer to discuss boundaries of characters & players first before engaging. Kink-related is also okay, but this requires a longer conversation and some form of aftercare. I will only consider ERP for long-term roleplay, not one-off scenes.WARRIOR OF LIGHT
I will write with one Warrior of Light OC, not multiple. I currently have no Warrior of Light specific OC I engage with, but prefer to avoid this entirely if at all possible.GPOSE
I lovelovelove gpose and I'm especially happy to gpose scenes & characters together to help bring it to life. Vyr is also available for collabs between roleplay partners.
