A tale told in a triptych:Here, the vivid pigment depicts a large, happy family. We see a boy, thronged by five female siblings, navigating the trials of adolescence. His mother's presence is bold and beloved. His father's lessons are detailed with care. The farm they inhabit in Gridania is lively, quaint, and altogether wholesome. The boy grows strong, learns the labours of the land, favours the sharp edge of an axe over the wisdom of a classroom. Manhood asks of him: will you fight to protect that which you love? There is no hesitation on the canvas.War is easy to recognise; we do not need the spattering of red to understand that this next panel is a scene of vast destruction and loss. The man wields a great-axe with ease, his eyes rage-wild, his muscle-bound body in motion. He is driven by need, not by desire. In the fray, his sisters; three fallen, two fighting. The moon is enormous. There, the faint outline of his parents up in the smoke-hazy sky. Desperation is evident in the thick application of paint.Third: a world recovering amongst fragile seeds of hope. Flowers grow upon too many graves. The farmhouse, a ruin; the family, fractured by grief and memory. Surviving members cannot bear to remain. Here, the parting of sisters and brother; the promise to meet again, the bright threads of an unbreakable bond. The brush-strokes have become vigorous. He has little to pack, and no interest in a map.We have seen this tale of a wandering mercenary before.
But the last panel is not yet finished.

Hooks
NEED A BODYGUARD? Or perhaps you have a pest problem? Boe is effective at what he does, and best of all, he doesn't cost much to hire. GREAT AND SMALL He does not make a secret of his fondness for all creatures. If you've found an animal in need, he will help. RESTORING WEAPONS His fascination with antiques and tinkering makes Boe a good choice for weapon and armour repairs of the vintage variety. DANCE COMMANDER Life is for living. Take him out clubbing, or to a bar, or grab a hipflask and his hand. Warning: he's a lightweight! CUT IT OUT Is your character an asshole? Boe probably won't care -- unless you are picking on someone who isn't your own size...
MISSED SISTERS Boe has two beloved elder sisters out there in the big world. If you're interested in playing one, get in touch! LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD Although he's been burned before, Boe is a sucker for romance. He's a flirt, and he's ripe for heartache, or for...? YES, CHEF Although he can't read the recipe books, Boe has an affinity for cooking. He loves to provide for others, learn new recipes, or try dishes or exotic ingredients. TEACH ME And speaking of books -- it's really about time he became more literate. It's doubtful he'd enjoy this venture at first. BRAINSTORM Do you have a specific scenario or idea in mind? Send me a message -- I am friendly, and love to plot!
ooc and rules
| 01 | Do not confuse IC and OOC. I roleplay as a character, not as myself. Similarly, please remember that IC actions have IC consequences. |
| 02 | If you wish to engage my character in walk-up roleplay, I'd appreciate a heads-up first. I welcome tells, both conversations and questions. I am friendly! |
| 03 | I am over 21, and sometimes roleplay mature themes (in appropriate areas). I expect the same of you. If I do choose to engage in ERP, it will likely be plot-driven, and at my discretion. I do not ERP with Lalafell characters, ever. |
| 04 | I have am capable of quick-fire paragraph responses. However, I am happy to keep things shorter, too. I generally match my partner or group's speed. |
| 05 | Whilst I am not new to roleplay, I am still fairly new to this MMO (about six months in). Please bear with me if my lore knowledge isn't complete! |
| 06 | I don't tolerate god-moders, OOC disrespect, misogyny, or drama. I have no qualms about setting boundaries or blocking. Ultimately, I am here to have fun; I hope you are, too. |
| 07 | I am LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and female friendly! |
Additional note: I suffer from a condition called Non-24 Sleep-Wake Disorder. As succinctly as I can put it: my sleep times cycle, which means I cannot adhere to a schedule or give you specific times that I will be around. Sometimes our online times will align, sometimes they won't. This disorder is incurable, but I've made peace with it. Please be aware that I'm doing my best!Mare available on request (if we get along). ♡
