â—¢ â–® â–® â–® -- ABOUT JALIQAI--------------------------------
Jaliqai is an Auri huntress for hire. What exactly does she hunt? Just about anything -- or anyone, for that matter. Whether it's a particularly nasty beast that's been heckling trading caravans on the road, a hard-to-find item that you need to get your hands on, or just someone that needs to be found for whatever reason, Jaliqai excels at tracking them down if the coin is right.
There's a lot more to Jaliqai than just these short few sentences. If you're interested in knowing more about her, more information can readily be found on her wiki, my writing thread, and her tumblr (beware the rare NSFW bits).

-------------------------------- WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR -- â–® â–® â–® â—£
Most of all, I'm looking to get involved in RP that promotes deep thought, introspection, and character development. While drinks at the Quicksand and other such slice-of-life scenes are fun and good and have their own place, that alone does not a deep and meaningful, character developing RP experience make for me.
I would love, love, love to get involved in more long and short term plots, specifically. I'm not the type that needs to be in a plot's limelight to enjoy myself. In fact, I really enjoy playing the supporting cast that helps to keep the ball rolling, which plays into Jaliqai's specialties nicely. Likewise, I also enjoy having a wide variety of characters of differing backgrounds, personalities, etc. to interact with. Positive or negative interactions are absolutely lovely.
In terms of the type of RP I'm looking for, I'm on the hunt for general and/or mature roleplay, but NOT RP that is solely or heavily oriented on ERP. I don't have any problems with RP of a sexual nature, especially when it serves to move a character's development forward or makes for good plot. It's just that sexual RP without either of these, where the focus is more on the act itself than the logical consequences, isn't my cup of tea.
Finally, I can RP in-game, through Skype, or through forums. I can try Google docs, though I've never used it for RP before.

â—¢ â–® â–® â–® -- ROLEPLAY HOOKS--------------------------------
If you'd like some ideas of how we can get some roleplay going, I've got a couple of ideas of things that I would really like to see happen. That said, if something isn't on this list that doesn't mean I'm not interested! I'm absolutely, 110% interested in hearing your awesome ideas!
1.] -EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS--------------
Since striking out on her own, Jaliqai has done the legwork to get herself and her reputation established, and business rolling in her way. Openly, she introduces herself to people as a hunter of beasts and bounties sanctioned by the city-states. However, she also has a burgeoning reputation in the underground scene as a hunter of information, hard-to-find or illegal goods and services, and people. Legitimate or not, if your character has something -- or someone -- that needs to be found, they may find themselves pointed in the direction of 'the Auri huntress that goes by the name Red'.
2.] -UNDERGROUND CONNECTIONS--------------
Tracking things down for criminals and other people of ambiguous motive means she's in need of more shady connections. Information brokers, thieves, fences, thugs, blades for hire, dealers of drugs/poisons/etc., crooked law men, other criminal organizations. You name it, she'll probably want to make a connection with them for future use.
As an OOC note, when I'm pulled into plots and contracts to search for things, I like to start with people that I've already made contact with before resorting to /handwaved NPCs. So this kind of connection potentially means more RP for you in the future if Jali ends up needing something that she knows your character can provide. Three cheers for networking!

3.] -NOT-SO-UNDERGROUND CONNECTIONS--------------
"But my precious baby is a perfectly law-abiding craftsman/adventurer/etc.!", you say? No problem! No matter where the person falls on the scales of morality and legality, if they've got a useful talent or trade, Jaliqai would still take note of them for the future. Bonus points if you're amused by the thought of your little Goody Two-shoes unknowingly getting pulled into the middle of shady business!
Like with the Underground Connections, this sort of hook has the potential for future networking for you, too!

4.]- OTHER XAELA--------------
Jaliqai's pretty securely adapted to life outside of the Othardian steppes now, though she still has a lot of tribal in her on the inside. As such, it would be great to get her interacting with other Xaela of other tribes, whether they would be friendly or hostile. I have a weakness for tribal type RP interactions, even with juxtaposed against a largely non-tribal culture such as Eorzea. These also have potential to be either newly formed interactions or possible backstory interactions, if you'd be interested in such a thing!
5.] -BACKGROUND CONNECTIONS--------------
This is a little more specific, since it deals with Jaliqai's past. For the past nine years -- eight in Othard, one in Eorzea -- Jaliqai has been a bounty hunter that had traveled far and wide, and met many people. So there's a lot of potential for 'Hey, you're that Au Ra lady with the bad temper!' types of connections. Some ideas? People she's done work for in the past. Other bounty hunters and/or mercenaries that she has worked with. Past drinking partners, associates, traveling partners, drunken one-night stands, etc. People that she was hired to hunt down. So on, so forth.
6.] -QULAAN TRIBE CONNECTIONS--------------
Even more specifically, if you're in the market for a new alt or making an existing alt fit, there's the option of playing a member of the Qulaan Tribe. (Information located here. Hello shameless promotion!) I'm really excited about these kinds of background connections, because I've got a lot of ideas for things that could be done in the future. So if that's something you think you might be interested in, hit me up!
