"Soft spoken, tender-hearted, gentle-spirited. You're a sunrise of a person, a sunset of a soul."

Rules & OOC

  1. Y'su is a WoL, he speaks about it vaguely unless you and him have a pre-established connection. If him being a WoL bothers you, DNI its ok.

  2. Communication is the key to making anything work. So please ask for clarification via tells. I also value discussion before, during and after scenes to plan out plots and such. If a theme/topic is not vibing please tell me and we can pivot.

  3. I prefer to RP with folks who are 21+ and with any ERP, both writer and character be at least 21+. No Lala characters for ERP please.

  4. IC =/= OCC. Y'su is seperate from me, his thoughts, feelings and actions are different from my own typically. Do not conflate the two. That also means any romantic/sexual relationships formed IC do not leak OOC.

  5. I prefer to RP in game for the immersion. If we have difficulty meeting up in game and willing to RP over discord on a case to case basis.

  6. I work, am in school & have alts I RP on. If I'm not on or responding, I am just busy.

K 25+ They / He.I have rp'd across several different platforms over the course of a decade. Still getting used to Rping in FFXIV.
Currently up to 7.1 in MSQ

Lore

Y'su was born the second child and only son of five to a keeper woman thaumaturge black mage / Alchemist and a seeker man bard/Adders captain in the Northern Black Shroud. They lived a peaceful, humble life. Y'su learned to hold a bow and carry a tune like his father by the time he was five summers. By ten, he was displaying incredible arcane prowess especially in healing magics. At twelve summers, the words of the Elementals grew louder but he didn't quite understand them.A couple of moons after his fourteenth nameday, the Garlean threat became harder to ignore and his parents were summoned to join the fight. The both of them went to join the Battle of Carteneau. His mother died on the battlefield attempting to shield as many as she could as shards of Dalamud fell. His father died some weeks later, having been mortally wounded rescuing fellow Adders caught in the aftermath of the lesser moon falling.
Not too long after his father drew his final breath, Y'su and his sisters received a visitor. An old keeper woman who resembled their mother, their maternal grandmother who none of them had ever met. Their grandmother offered the newly orphaned children a chance to live with blood relatives in the East Shroud that their mother never spoke about. Not knowing what to do, the grieving children took the woman's offer, believing that their mother perhaps sent for them before they left to fight.
Y'su never minded being the only boy in his family. He was raised to be equals to his sisters but joining the Konte clan changed all of that. He felt unwelcomed, unwanted, and often have to take care of himself, fully neglected save from his elder sister. Given that the Konte clan were well known Mages and apothecaries, they took interest in his elder sister with her alchemy skills but she lacked any significant magical ability. Then one day, when healing an injured bird, his grandmother bore witnessed to his potential and everything changed for him again. From aged sixteen to nineteen, and with his elder sister away in Ul'dah to study alchemy; Y'su endured abuses that are mostly hidden in a dense fog over his mind. He had plenty of opportunities to escape but didn't want to leave his younger sisters alone.Upon his sister's return, she learned of the abuses and encouraged him to leave. Though he was reluctant - not wanting to be alone, his sister asked him to see the world and when he had a good story to tell them then he could return.
So a moon after his nineteenth nameday, with his father's lyre and bow, as well as his mother's journal, and a small purse of gil, Y'su set off to Gridania.
Within his first few days in Gridania, Y’su joined the Adventurer’s Guild, the Archer’s Guild and enlisted in the Order of the Twin Adders just like his father had. His talent with the bow quickly placed him in a squadron of whom the captain was an older, purple-haired Elezen man who hailed from Ishgard named Aurault Duprix. Captain Duprix would quickly be one of the most important people in Y’su’s life as he took the young man under his wing, aiding in that transition into being a full fledged adventurer. Their relationship has since grown to the status of father & son.
During his first two moons as a small time adventurer he started honing his skills as a bard at local performance spaces. One day, tasked with looking into some oddities in the Central Shroud, the Whispers of the elementals were drowned out by a new , odd sensation. His head spinning, glimpses into the past? Someone else's memories? He awoke hours later, in a chirougeon cot. His captain asked him what had happened and after explaining, Y'su was sent to Vesper Bay in Western Thanalan by his captain. This trip would be the start of an adventure of a lifetime. Taking him all around the star and beyond. Allowing him to weave tales of loss, fire and faith.
