I'd be wary of some of the more subjective things - "she's good at making people feel at ease" hinges on the roleplay itself - but for my money this exists in the grey side of "sure, why not?" that most folks playing off-beat strive for.Thank you Warren, will keep in mind others opinions on how my character reacts would love to be able to convey this kind of character to others but will take practice.
Eorzea could use a few more psychic vampire monster people.

I agree with staying away from the subjective judgements, not that they can't be true, but just make sure that you play her that way so that people will actually think that of her.

I could say that T'caska has never offended anyone and some people may never question it. But if I RP T'caska as a very polite, considerate, and contentious person, then I would probably never be questioned.
Not that T'caska is very polite, just sayin'.

I would suggest writing down what other people can see or sense from her. I would allow some sense of her void link and aether dependency to be apparent to those who might be able to sense it.
Also I would consider her flaws and how you play them. Maybe something she is suceptable to or will avoid, like life energy or direct sunlight. It just adds to the flavour.
I hope that helps.
I will write down more notes to build up on her flaws.

I agree with Nebbs here.Â
Xheja has a pretty similar concept, and I go this route myself. There are a lot of characters out there that are sensitive to others' aether. It's not unreasonable to think that they would be picking up on a case of heavy Void corruption.
Of course the problem with this is that if your character is a beacon of big bad Voidyness, public RP can be hard with how many people will sense that and potentially come after you. That can be especially problematic just starting out when you don't have a real foundation for a character yet and are feeling them out through public RP. So finding a logical explanation to balance believability and convenience is pretty important.Â
Really it's just a matter of balancing and rounding out your character with positives/negatives and strengths/weaknesses, especially when messing around with Void associated characters. Because there's a definite line you can easily cross from acceptably quirky to annoyingly overpowered if you're not careful (or sometimes without even meaning to), IMHO.
Thank you Xheja, maybe I could make my character kind of inverted and choosing to work odd jobs at night, playing it up as she is weak and it is hard for her to find a normal job. When in reality it is because she is unable to spend much time in the sun and wants to avoid attracting negative attention with her being corrupted.
Hmmm, the void part I was going to take as her weakness if anything I do not want her to be powerful at all. I want to her be more weak than most people but fighting to stay alive. As if her existence in this world not should not be possible but she keeps fighting just to try and blend into society. I do want her to be smart and seem as though she is always plotting things but that knowledge she has and uses I want her to take from reading books.
