Wiki

About:

• Other mages, especially summoners and arcanists. Shopu's been self-taught most of her life and wants to learn as much as she can from other practitioners to round out her own abilities. Really this could extend to anyone who fights using aether; I've got some ideas that a monk or other aether-inclined martial artist might suit...
  
• Other wanderers. She likes explore the world and talk about exploring the world. She has a semi-permanent home in La Noscea now but loves going on short term adventures for loot and knowledge.
  
• Bad guys! Danger! With some extended plot behind it! Shopu's only been attacked once IC and she got her arse handed to her and it was a lot of fun. IC drama is fun and she gets, like, none outside of overarching FC plots. Rarely any personal stuff.
  

• Shopu spent some time in the Arcanist's Guild between 1576 and 1577.
  
• She frequently visits the Sea of Clouds, particularly to visit Ok' Zundu.
  
• It's often rumored in rural La Noscea by those not familiar with Allagan summoning that there's a tiny summoner running around for which tiny Leviathan does her bidding... but she doesn't seem dangerous, for some reason or another.
  
• Thanalan traders or nomads are likely familiar with her family, especially before the Calamity, roaming eastern Thanalan in tents mounted on giant tortoises' shells.

• Mounted combatants, especially on chocobo-back. He's pretty good at actually riding his chocobo now, but fighting? Aside from his training in the Grand Company, he could use some pointers from experienced fighters.
  
• Peers in Gridania. He was born in Gridania and, being a Roegadyn, with an unmarried mother from outside the Twelveswood no less, he has always been something of an outcast. In spite of being alienated a lot of the time he considers himself a full-blooded Gridanian citizen and abides by all their cultural norms and superstitions. Other outcasts and kindred spirits would be nice for him to have. Maybe even some jerks who look down their noses at him to really flesh out his background.
  
• Other Twin Adder soldiers. His involvement in the Order of the Twin Adder is the biggest aspect of his life right now, so naturally he'd be on speaking terms with a few of them.
  
• A romantic interest...?

  SpoilerHere's something he's really self-conscious about. Tall Elezen. Why does he get weird mushy feelings about them? He's a Roegadyn. Isn't that wrong? He's already got problems and this is one he doesn't like to think about, but I think it'd be pretty fun OOC to actually deal with this problem Eorzeans are supposed to have with mixed-race relationships. Romantic drama is old hat and cliche to a lot of people I guess, but it's something I've never gotten to do, so, yeah, uh... /scratches head. Also, he's technically underage, he turned 17 this year, but if whatever comes of it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother me.

• My time zone is EST, and I'm usually around at night. Tuesday nights are my FC's weekly RP events, so I'll almost always be unavailable then.
  
• I have Skype. Lemmie know if you want it.
  
• OOC communication is important to me! Don't be afraid to share your thoughts with me and I'll try to not be afraid to share mine with you!
  
• I don't mind some mature themes in my RP. It's not like I jump at taboo/mature themes or anything, but I'm not a very sensitive or easily offended individual myself. Please feel free to let me know in advance if you have any themes you're uncomfortable with or potential triggers we should avoid if you think it's something that might come up. It's just something I try to be conscious about.

Jana is a Summoner ICly as well, but there are a few obstacles. For one, she tends to try and keep her habit of wrenching Primals out of thin air a secret, so she won't show any Egis if she's not in combat. Secondly, the other way for her to take enough interest in someone to show an Egi is to sense a Soul Stone (via her own unique Echo ability), so she wouldn't be able to find your character purposefully. And third... She loathes Gridania and avoids the Shroud.

It's not impossible that they could run into each other but it'd take a quirk of fate!

I'll do my best to be more available and perhaps you might take an interest in the background story I've been slowly building up to. If you are looking for villains and danger, just being around Virara might be life threatening enough in the near future. XD

As for ways we can meet, I think I've mentioned a few to you already. Virara goes to the Sea of Clouds to train, and they live relatively close. While already an accomplished martial artist, Virara has pretty limited instruction as a Monk in the sense of Fists of Rhalgr; however her innate failure at aether manipulation and internal control hampers her ability to make use of chakra training.
But more importantly than combat connection, I really do want Virara to build personal relationships with other characters so she can attempt to humanize a bit more.

Are those failures something she could work through? Shoshopu's been looking for innovative ways to make bigger, badder -egis and learning new ways to manipulate one's aether seems to be the way to go. It could be something they end up working on together...
