Duskwight Researcher, Bookworm, and Botanist - Syranelle Ironleaf - 08-05-2016

Syranelle gnawed on her lower lip, sliding the book aside.  "What am I looking for in a contact?  Well, first and foremost, I am currently doing research on all the various races and city-states of Eorzea, both present and past.  I'm especially interested in the ruins in the Black Shroud and their ties to Gelmorra.  Oh, what's that?  Why...?  Well, I'll only divulge my reasoning to the right contacts.  We must all have our secrets, you know."

The Elezen maid smiles faintly, emerald eyes hooded briefly by a fringe of dark lashes as she lowers her gaze.  "Growing up in the wilds of Gridania, I didn't have much opportunity to explore the world-at-large; I stayed close to home, especially after the Calamity.  In recent years, though, that has much changed and I've seen much of the world, though there are still pockets of mystery that remain.  I thrive on exploration and discovery.

Ever a researcher, I'm no soldier, no warrior.  I've some moderate skill with healing, thanks to my work with some Free Companies in Eorzea.  Occasionally, I might be in need of some guards or security, but mostly I'm just looking to find a friendly face or two."


Notable Affiliations
These can be used as points of contact.
  • Syranelle is seen often at Mealvaan's Gate in Limsa Lominsa, coming and going as she borrows various books.  
  • Having done extensive healing-work in and around Gridania, characters with the Twin Adders may have encountered her at some point.
  • She has only recently undertaken the study of plants with the Botanist's Guild in Gridania, using the knowledge found there to augment her healing ability.
  • She comes and goes from Ishgard quite a bit, having volunteered a lot of her time to helping to feed the less fortunate in Brume and assist with healing during the Battle for Ishgard.  
What I'm Looking For...

Mostly just friendly folks to Roleplay with.  I'm not particular as to character race or background, though their interactions with Syranelle and how she reacts to them will ultimately determine their fate.  I'm wholly an "organic" roleplayer; I've never liked the idea of scripted relationships or allegiances, rather letting them grow as they will based on what happens in roleplay.

Long-term, short-term, I'm perfectly content with whatever time a person has to donate.  I'm more than happy to play a bit part in plots and personal stories.  However, don't expect me to play a villain, that's not in Syranelle's personality.  (Nor am I fond of playing the villain, because I'm bad at it.  XD)

What I'm NOT Looking For...

  • I'm not looking for drama or people who can't keep Characters separate from Players.  What happens in roleplay is just roleplay; it has no regard or reflection on you or me as people behind the keyboard.  Please, keep that in mind.
  • Exclusivity; I don't expect to be attached at the hip to anyone.  I enjoy playing the game on my own at times, as well as being a social butterfly.
  • Any kind of romance.  Syranelle, as a character, is already very deeply committed to another character in the game and I'm not looking to play love-triangles or relationship drama.  
These are all deal-breakers.  I don't have the time or energy these days to cope with people that can't respect these boundaries.  

I am OKAY with...
  • In-character Conflict.  Again, see the IC=/=OOC caveat.  Just because my character doesn't like or get along with yours doesn't mean I dislike you on a personal level.
  • In-character Dungeons/Questing.  I thoroughly enjoy mixing PVE and RP!  I like using all of the world instead of just the city or specific taverns.
I'm NOT OKAY with...
  • Roll-based Combat.  I find it boring.  I'm sorry!  That's just how I feel.  If I want to play roll-based combat, that's what my D&D nights are for.  XD
  • Excessive gore, violence, sexuality, or horror.  I may be older in age, but Mature themes aren't something I enjoy roleplaying with any regularity.
For more about The Player Behind the Keyboard, see my Introduction Thread.

If you have questions or would like to add me to your Friends List, please don't hesitate to contact me -- or leave your in-game contact below and I'll contact you!

Player Availability

From Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, I'm usually online from 8pm (Eastern) until whenever I decide to log out for the night.  I don't have a day job anymore, so I keep pretty strange hours.  The latter half of the week, I tend to do Real Lifey things (D&D and Hubby Date Night, woo!) so I can be pretty hit-or-miss since things come up spontaneously.

I'm also a full-time care-giver for a disabled Veteran, so anyone who plays alongside me has to be understanding.  I may need to log-out with little to no warning; I may need to AFK for long periods of time.  I will do my best to communicate as much as possible as to my availability, but Life being what it is -- sometimes you just can't.  

Other Methods of Contact

Skype: perpetualpaladin
Discord: theirontribe#1384 
Tumblr: ironleaf-rp.tumblr.com

By preference, I like to roleplay within the game itself primarily, but I don't mind roleplaying through these other media types if scheduling is a problem.

I am currently seeking reliable couriers and delivery-persons, particularly those who specialize in moving precious or delicate items and artifacts.  You can typically find me in Revenant's Toll whenever I'm not actively engaged in the field with my work.  If you're interested, contact me via Moogle Mail Delivery (Private Message) and I can arrange to meet with you.

 I won't be able to attend unfortunately, but I'm more than happy to set something up out of game for the time being. I have both Discord and Skype ^^

If you're looking for a way to connect, Rini, I can certainly cook up something for you! Big Grin Give me a couple of days to brew some ideas and I'll get back to you on this one!

RE: Duskwight Researcher, Bookworm, and Botanist - Zanther - 01-01-2017

Sounds like some fun times. My char is also a researcher and he also explores. He focuses mostly on older civilizations, primarily Nym and Beleda'da and a renewed intrest in Alg (for interesting reasons) but he tries to avoid the shroud. However, his dad is a botanist and lives in the shroud lol. Maybe we can hook up and see what happens. Actually, I will be doing sometime soon a server wide rp event that might interest him and we can meet then.

I'm always happy to RP with folks! I'm usually around any given evening, except Wednesdays, from about 8pm server until late. So feel free to add me as a friend in game! I'll keep an ear out for your event, too!

RE: Duskwight Researcher, Bookworm, and Botanist - PSDuckie - 01-01-2017

How long has Syranelle frequented Mealvaan's Gate?  I'm asking because Tyll'a's mother worked there before the Calamity, and maybe they could have met?
