quirks

  • Upon first glance, it is very obvious she does not look like your typical hyur, possessing golden eyes with slitted pupils akin to Miqo'te, and stunted, pointed ears one would see on a half-elezen.

  • Anyone who knew Ellie before with an affinity to sensing aetheric signatures would now notice her once strange aether is more or less "normal" now, if not, significantly weaker than before.

  • Her crow companions, Rook and Pawn (in-game: hunting hawk & starbird) shares the same aetheric signature as she does.

  • She speaks with a clear, eorzean dialect, but often one can sense her Doman accent slip into her words (particularly when flustered/agitated)

  • Ellie often is seen toying with some small, non-descript object, usually a gil coin.


characteristics

Positive

  • Unbound Loyalty: While it seems like her allegiances changes with the slightest breeze, she has the capacity to become a loyal friend and ally once one earns her trust.

  • Sharp As A Tack: Always watching her surroundings, very little slips past her gaze. Unless you're boring.

  • Pragmatic: Sometimes you need to go great lengths to get things done, even making decisions others, or even herself, might not agree with.

Neutral

  • Prudent (Or Paranoid): Rather quick on her feet, she always seems to have a plan for everything. Almost.

  • Blunt: She doesn't like mincing words, which can be both a blessing and a curse (depending on how you look at it)

  • Loner: Aside from a few friends and her partners, she very much prefers to be on her own unless she desires company. Any attention she desires she wants on her own terms (with willing partners).

Negative

  • Distrustful: Having known betrayal countless times before, she is very slow to trust, and quick to assume.

  • Pride: There is hardly a person or creature prouder than she is; a walking fount of vanity, she does not take insult of her person (or her appearance) lightly.

  • Crude: She certainly knows and has the capacity to act like "a proper lady" but when the situation does not call for it, she can be very crude and crass, especially with her humor.

Hooks

  • Kugane / The Red Lantern District Despite no longer having a business in the infamous district, she still has a myriad of friends and colleagues who not only reside in it, but work within its walls. she is frequently seen at a strange medicine shop, cavorting with an elezen gentleman.

  • The Harlequin An 'underground' fight club venue located hidden in the nook of the lavender beds, Ellie once moonlit there as a bartender. there she can be seen watching the fights, and occasionally sniping biting remarks with one (or more) of her former co-workers.

  • The Royal Chambers A risque venue meant for those with heavier desires to be fulfilled in the sheets, Eliceyn works there to capture guests and staff in their best forms (when not working in the back rooms). She rarely speaks to other patrons, but is always willing to take your photo upon request.

Hooks (cont.)

  • Sharlayan & Radz-at-Han Between Sharlayan and Radz-at-Han, most of those not heavily associated with the researchers and alchemists know her simply as a tradeswoman and merchant in their employ, and sometimes a courier. Those heavily involved in the Apothecaries of Radz-at-Han and The Studium / The Forum know the true purpose of her business.

  • 'The Rookery' Eliceyn's own bar and establishment; recently opened in a corner of The Goblet, when she is not seen at her usual hauntings, she is often there either hiding in her offices, or slinging drinks to the thirsty patrons who occupy its doors.


Story Synopsis

Not much is known about Eliceyn (or rather who she is, truly) save what her partners and the few friends she has know (and are unwilling to say). Publicly across Eorzea, she is simply known to be a common merchant who occasionally moonlights as a bartender, with a history of selling her body to wealthy patrons for coin.In Ishgarde, she was once known as a secret companion to a few noble lords and ladies stuck in loveless marriages, rumored to be the bastard of a defrauding noble lord's wife.In Sharlayan and Radz-at-Han, to the reseachers and alchemist, she is a valuable asset to their research.In the Red Lantern District of Kugane, she was once a prolific bawdy house owner, 'spinning straw into gold' with those who had nowhere to go, and a desire to survive, even if it meant selling their bodies.A 'fair and firm' madam, she tolerated no disrespect to her or her custom. What made it all tumble down were rumors of her carrying out brutal killings, rumors made more believable when she was arrested for said murders (only released for lack of witnesses and evidence). Currently very few remember who she is, and the few who do still show her clear reverence and respect. Whether out of earned respect or fear is unclear.These days, she is frequently spotted in Tuliyollal with a young man no older than twenty summers.

OOC

  • Ellie is very much a character that can be difficult to get along with; this is not a reflection of my emotions towards you as the player.

  • Understand that ellie is also not going to be friendly right out the gate towards garleans (don't expect sudden violence, but don't expect a welcome mat either)

  • Ellie as a character does bend the lore; if you prefer a character that sticks to the lore? She is not for you.

  • Ellie is a polyamorous character but I do not ship her willy-nilly; I only allow ships with select individuals, and ONLY if there's chemistry.

OOC (cont.)

  • I prefer discord RP over in-game due to my schedule/spoons.

  • While I do understand and respect that lalafells are adults, I will not engage in NSFW/ERP with any lalafell characters (what you do is your business, but I don't want to engage in NSFW lalafell content/writing/etc.)
