⌜Look, the trees
are turning
their own bodies
into pillars
of light,

are giving off the rich
fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment,

the long tapers
of cattails
are bursting and floating away over
the blue shoulders
of the ponds,

and every pond,
no matter what its
name is, is
nameless now.⌟

Manmi Avagnar, Patron of the Fates


A healer with a penchant for slacking off. Despite her preoccupation with those residing six feet under, she has a greater affinity for wind-aspected aether instead of earth. She fights with a combination of traditional spells and haphazard experiments in sorcery pulled from her tomes.Her interest in the occult stems from a childhood spent in the Azim Steppe of Othard, where she studied under the tutelage of her tribe's shaman. He taught her how to cast aside the veil that separated the dead from the living in order to commune with spirits; she continues this practice of divination even in the present (though with much less decorum).Despite her tendency to shirk responsibility, Manmi can prove to be an adept healer and a valuable ally when the situation calls for it. Between taking odd jobs to keep herself afloat and languishing about, she searches for esoterica from ages past- long-forgotten stories and rituals- a desire that emerged from an interest in lost cultures. Whether this task entails buying a rare tome from an offbeat merchant or delving into very-much-off-limits ruins matters not; either you are willing to help or you will move aside.

⌜Every year
everything
I have ever learned
in my lifetime
leads back to this: the fires
and the black river of loss
whose other side
is salvation,
whose meaning
none of us will ever know.⌟

RP Hooks


ʚ ArchivistɞManmi collects folklore- stories, traditions, anything of cultural significance- for civilizations long gone from the annals of history.

ʚ Bibliophile ɞDespite already lacking the space for more tomes, Manmi still purchases them at an alarming rate; most often these are magical or historical in nature, although she enjoys a good romance novel in her free time.

ʚ Healer ɞManmi can be contracted as a medic for jobs or personal injuries.

ʚ Diviner ɞManmi enjoys fortune-telling as a hobby of hers, and seeks to improve her accuracy by practicing on others.
This includes: shagai, tarot, palm-reading

⌜To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.⌟

OOC


Hi!
Internet friends call me Manmi, or Mira. Manmi is my main xiv character. I'm a 21 y/o college student and office lady living on the east coast of the US. She/They pronouns ok!

「 Important Disclaimers 」


I do not feel comfortable RPing with people under the age of 18, given some of the themes that may pop up in RP.I am black and LGBT and have a good head on my shoulders so I do not tolerate bigotry of any kind, even under the guise of 'jokes.'I cannot stress enough how much I want to preserve the divide between IC/OOC. It's natural to feel emotions based on how RP is going, and there are parts of me and my life experiences in my characters, but I am me and they are them! This extends to relationships as well- I am not looking for any romantic interaction IRL. Likewise, any negative interactions that occur during RP should be treated accordingly. If there's any confusion about IC/OOC things don't hesitate to let me know!Discord is available upon request. I'd like to limit discord RP to people I've talked to/get along with, so apologies if I don't feel comfortable giving it to you right away.

「 Potential Themes TW」


(These will not always be present, but they could potentially be mentioned depending on the RP. These topics can easily be avoided!)

Substance Abuse, Trauma, Death, Mental Illness

「 Post Length」


One-liners, Para, Semi-lit/Multi-ParaI'm comfy with any length of dialogue & will adjust post length upon request! For in-game RP I prefer keeping posts under 1 paragraph in length due to chat box limitations.

「 Types of RP」


1x1, Group, Casual/Slice-of-Life, Ship, Adventure, Mystery, Horror, Combat, 18+*I can DM events upon request!I'm cool with either dice-based or freeform combat. In general, I am okay with most things that aren't overly dark or gory, and will voice my discomfort otherwise.

* BIG BIG BIG caveats here: I only engage in romance-related or 18+ RP with people I know & trust. I am not and will not be looking for a romantic relationship OOC.
