▍ ❝   RULE I
i've been roleplaying for many years (10+) but i'm quite rusty as of late & on top of that i'm not really used to in-game RP, so please forgive any imperfections if we write & be patient with me, as i would be with you! & if we write off-game (discord etc.) i will never push you to reply so i would ask the same of you. reminders here & there are fine though, of course!▍ ❝   RULE II.
i'm a real person with feelings, ok? don't go pushing ERP onto me, i'm not really interested (+ ume isn't anywhere near that kind of person anyway) and it's just gonna make me uncomfortable. the only way you'd get any 18+ writing with me is if our characters have chemistry & if it isn't in game. i'd rather write that kind of thing in a discord chat. just be normal, y'know? if you send me a raunchy /tell expecting something, i will more than happily just block you.▍ ❝   RULE III.
don't interact with me if you use any sort of generative AI for your RP purposes. idgaf. also, kind of an obvious one — i'm an lgbtq+ individual and so i'd rather not deal with anyone who's mindset opposes that. don't be a bigot of any kind, & we can be friends.

▍ ❝   RULE IV
i would write pretty much anything in-game except anything R18+, but i'm also not too fond of the idea of any battle roleplay sadly :( i'd rather just build relationships with your characters & have them hang out together or go on adventures! please don't come up to ume & ask her to fight your character or something she's too nice for all that anyway :( if you end up trying to godmod or something i'll have to block, sorry.▍ ❝   RULE V
IC ≠ OOC. if my character does something questionable it does not mean that i would necessarily agree with it. that, & if my character & yours end up experiencing romantic/sexual things for one another that does NOT mean that i as the writer is also experiencing these feelings for you. please separate the writer and the character. an obvious one, i know, but it has to be said.

❝ It was not too long ago, truly. Not too long ago when the worlds' savior was to be born — with a weight so little in comparison to the one that would inevitably place itself upon her shoulders in her future. 'Twas a mere 2 epochs or so ago, as a matter of fact, that Ume Ejinn was born to her two parents, Maral Ejinn and Baltu Ejinn.

The girl was not raised in a... very efficient manner — not in the way a typical child would have been raised, anyway. It didn't help that their tribe travelled from place to place all the time, neither did it help that the Garleans were quite an insurmountable threat to the immediate region at the time.Ume, like most Ejinn children, had labored for her tribe since a young age, though all of that tireless work never hardened up her heart — being so confined to her people and their customs made her all the more wanting, craving a chance to see what else is out there in that vast world she called home. Eventually, Ume had decided to leave her tribe behind (alas, with disapproval of her father, though her mother was loving and supportive of her ideals) in pursuit of exploration and adventure.She had made her way to the port city of Valnain, sneaking onto a Garlean cargo delivery ship that was bound for the Eorzean Black Shroud. Upon landing there, she is almost caught by on-ship staff, but nonchalantly dismissed as a stowaway — a mistake that, in the future, would cost them more than they could imagine.Ume makes a new home for herself in Gridania, the quaint little city-state nestled in the heart of the shroud which welcomed her with open arms. She takes up a post at the lancer's guild following her experience with a spear, and the rest is history.

— UNIQUE PHYSICAL TRAITS.

As a result of the Ejinns' adaptiveness to water, Ume looks quite different to other au ra — bearing physical traits such as cloudy eyes that glow a bright blue beneath the water, webbed hands & feet, scales coated with bioluminescent algae & a prominent, large horn planted between her two brows that glimmers blue at its tip.

— A REGULAR AT LA NOSCEA.

With an obvious penchant for open waters, Ume tends to linger around La Noscea frequently. With her distinctive appearance, mayhap you have laid your gaze on her in passing, or even heard the gossip passed around Lominsan pirates and sailors surrounding the auri woman who could always catch her fish with her mere bare hands?

— A HERO'S LITTLE JOURNAL.

Even a busy-bee such as Ume has at least some time to herself every so often. Every day will always be full of surprises, as she'd say, & what better way to finish off every day than by recording its happenings in a little journal? She keeps it with her always, instead of leaving it back in the inns. You never know when something has just got to be jotted down somewhere!

— A LOVE FOR FICTION.

Ume does take her me-time quite seriously (as painstakingly hard as it is for her to turn away someone in need), & one of her main hobbies she puts her time into is reading. Not anything sophisticated, or anything knowledge-enhancing, mind — just some simple hingan manga. Not very 'simple' to her, of course! The shoujo genre captivates her the most.

— YOUR CHOICE!

Feel free to come up with any sort of introductions you'd like, assuming they aren't too vulgar or anything! Completely random topic, something relating to your character, whatever works! I'm not too picky at all.

nodin kai @ raiden NODIN KAI — Endearingly dubbed 'Papa Nodin' by Ume. An archon she had come across during her journey through Eorzea & had become close to through letters & such after parting ways soon after, before inevitably finding out he was part of the scions she would soon grow to see as family. He is like a father to her.N/AN/AN/AN/A
