Hey everyone! I know I've slapped up one of these threads for Xheja a while back. However, that was pre-personality shift and as such, the information has become super out-dated. Now that I've settled into her new self, I thought I would throw up another one of these with some updated ideas to try and drum up some RP and make some connections! Because really, how fun is it to play a shady, power-thirsty, manipulative merchant-type without anyone to play with?
I'm in-game pretty often and chances are, if you find me standing around, I'm up for RP! And even if you happen to find me in the Quicksand, I'll be more than willing to initiate RP anywhere else as long as it makes IC sense for Xheja to be there for some reason. Likewise, I'm also completely open to forum RP and potentially even Skype RP! (In fact, I would actually love to get one or two of these started to keep the RP flowing even when I can't be in-game!)
Business Contacts: Xheja is an Ul'dahn merchant, first and foremost, specializing in high-class cosmetics and dyes. So any sort of business contact - fellow merchants, suppliers, competition, customers, etc. - would make for some good RP! Especially customers. I would love to get Xheja some non-NPC clientele, and maybe some custom orders.
Employees: Figured I'd add a separate section for this. As Xheja's business expands, she would definitely like to expand employment, whether that's recruiting alchemists for development and production, talented salesmen, or even potential business partners to begin selling her wares full-time in other City-States.
"Business" Contacts:Â While she has her legitimate business, Xheja also has some alchemical skills that are not openly advertised, particularly in the area of poison-making. While this wouldn't be something that every Joe Schmo off the street would know about, if you're interested in this, let me know and we can try to work it in somehow!
Underground Contacts:Â As Xheja's business skews less off the path of legality, she would definitely like to make some shadier contacts to keep herself well-connected to the underground. Black market merchants, secret-sellers, etc. That sort of thing.
"Pawns":Â Xheja is very much a manipulative type, and she tends to look at and treat people differently based on how valuable they are to her. That said, she's always got an eye out for someone who might be useful to her - whether they have something or some information she wants, a particularly useful skill set, etc. - and how she might be able to worm her way into their good graces for future use.
Law Enforcement: What legality-skirting character would be fun without the law to oppose them? Right this moment, there's not a ton going on to really implicate Xheja in anything illicit while the ball gets to rolling. But there are definitely a few things that have went on in the recent past which might cause some curious eyes to turn her way and have some questions asked. Let me know if you're interested in details!
"Victims":Â Xheja is very much Void-corrupted and, long story short, she requires the occasional absorption of aether from other living creatures and/or people. (More details on her wiki.) Her preferred method of doing this is to draw a non-lethal amount of aether from willing "victims" with an abundance of and/or a unique/strong type of aether - usually through some sort of manipulation, sob-story, etc. While this is currently a very minor, background part of her story, this option is definitely on the table.
Casual Contacts:Â I suppose most of all, I would really just like to get Xheja out there and interacting with more people, period. Idle tavern chatter in the Quicksand? An academic discussion in the Arrzaneth Ossuary? Perhaps a debate on economics in the market wards? I'm up for it!
Of course, RP isn't just limited to these kind of interactions that I've mentioned above. If you've got ideas of your own, I'd be more than willing to hear them and work something out with you! I'm just excited to really get Xhej going full-force. :D
