"Creepy, intense and a bit morose."
--First impressions from
Rila
So I'm looking for people willing to interact with my new character, Foxglove Kyo. I say 'willing' because she is unlikely to be easily accessible for the average RPer given her social distance and gritty, violent history.
To try and summarize: Foxglove is technically an Au Ra. Like most people planning to play one, she is currently glamored as someone else. In this case? A humble Doman refugee.
She was captured during the ensuing rebellion by the Garlean empire and subsequently forced to do a number of horrific things (read: torturing prisoners for information) to ensure her own survival. This in turn has left Foxglove mentally numb; cold, apathetic and lacking in empathy, the innocence she had forever lost.
Given acceptance and understanding, however, she may very well be redeemed one day, and that's what I'm hoping to find for her... close companions of any kind that will allow her to return to any degree of normalcy. As with all of my characters, Foxglove is quite gay and much more likely to warm up to women over men. Please keep this in mind before contacting me.
Also note: her back story contains a great deal of both physical and psychological brutality committed by her own hands. Something else to keep in mind as I'd hate to upset anyone that might be sensitive towards Foxglove's past in any way.
Think that's about it! I can always be reached in-game on either Vetiver Chastain or Foxglove Kyo herself. PMs, posts in this thread, etc. also good. <3
Vetiver/Foxglove comes highly recommended, both as a writer and as a friend.
To anyone even remotely considering this: DO EET.
Note: Sav senses are tingling!
Granted Sav isn't fabulous and new, BUT totally has a helper complex. And kinda was tortured herself for a year, likes people, etc. She may be the terribly persistent adorable fly that won't leave you alone. This oozes possibilities.
(so much fanclub right now~)

This. Completely. This. Vetiver is amazing, and I highly recommend anyone to interact with any of her characters.
If very short Garlean runaways are her thing, Mikh'a likes making friends. He's pretty open minded and understanding, and he tends to listen and lend a shoulder more often than not. He's also, thanks to Ragnar, persistent about making people feel better and pursuing the broken ones so...
8D If you'd like some contact in that area and are looking for lots of obnoxious attempts at getting her to open up I'm definitely open to make contact! ( Plus I really really really want to push Mikh'a deeper in to not being afraid of the ladies. They can help one another. )

I swear you two...
I don't know what it is I do that keeps y'all around, but I'm happy for it all the same.

I have such a hard time picturing a sweetheart like Sav enjoying the company of Foxglove, but hey, I've had odder mashups happen before! Hell, it may be just what she needs.
Also I disagree, Savarah makes for fabulous company. A bit sad, but that's kind of my literary jam.

This actually sounds... pretty fun, so long as you don't mind Foxy's temperament when she gets agitated (very strong fight or flight instinct), come poke me when you have a chance!
It's time for me to put my stamp of approval! Vetiver comes highly recommended, anyone and everyone should rp with her! but don't because you're taking up my vetiver time!
Vetiver 11/10.
I'm always more than happy to RP with you Miss Chastain! If you're still in need of friends for Kyo I volunteer Koragos! I'm sure his bright demeanor will provide an enjoyable contrast to your description of Kyo's personality! Perhaps they're best friends that don't know it yet
Let me know what you think.
I would try but I'm pretty sure T'caska would just be simply afraid.
Its almost tempting to make an alt though because you are a great writer and from the short RP we've had, you're completely compelling there too.

Hah, are you sure about that? Foxglove's gloominess might even be enough to bring Koragos down of all people!
Definitely need to add you on Foxglove at the very least. Try and poke me if you can?

Aww, she's not
that scary, so long as you don't push her temper.
Thank you for your kind words, by the way. <3
Definitely still looking for connections that'll work with Foxglove! Be sure to come find me if interested.

Never underestimate the power of Koragos's smile! It's over 9000!
Think I'm going to go ahead and bump things up. Still not having much luck finding connections for this lady and I really do want to see her flourish!

Aerius is the kind of guy who's "been there", with a similarly rough past and shoddy outlook on where he's at now (probably because he's a criminal). None of that's outwardly clear, though, and he's definitely the type to urge people not to follow in his footsteps however he can, so if you're looking for someone who'll be real with her and whip her back into shape, he's your guy.
Hey there! Luci is a kind one and always happy to meet new people, though a bit flirty, she could for sure become close I think :3
SO.
I finally sat down and started working on a wiki for Foxglove as seen
here. It's not
quite complete, but I'm hoping there's enough information to make people a little less wary of her. I promise, she really isn't
that bad.
Also came up with some potential hooks while I was thinking about it to help things along:
- A former friend or acquaintance from Doma that managed to make it out alive.
- Any women Foxglove tortured during her service to the Empire.
- For that matter, any Garlean PCs that could potentially recognize her. Conflict totally welcome here.
- And a total long shot that may be the most desired of all: a Doman princess that could potentially love Foxglove on an unconditional level.

I'll be honest: it's rare when a male character interests me, but this is one of the few I'd be willing to give a try. I'll try and poke you in-game as soon as possible!
