Serenity

Serenity's heart was a jackhammer pounding in her chest. Each second lasted an eternity as she watched the crowd whispered and commented in the last moment bid. The male Xaela who had previously held the high bid looked particularly furious, which his navy scales turning a deep shade of purple from being one upped. And just like that, Serenity heard the announcer waive her off, his hand gesturing towards the stunned white-maned female that had quickly been singled out from the crowd. A sigh of relief passed through Serenity's lips, from breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. Remembering her place, the blonde slowly made a bow before making her way offstage to introduce herself to the lucky winner. "Uhm... Hi, I guess... I'm Serenity. It's, uh... A pleasure to meet you, miss..? "

Hearing the amount and following the announcer's gesture, Serenity's gaze fell swiftly onto the young L'rinhi. Her mouth drooped open ever so slightly, not expecting someone so young to have offered such an amount. Having seen her other potential suitors and not being entirely... Impressed... Serenity pleased to whichever gods would listen to have the bidding stop there. Tryxlia also took notice of the younger Miqo'te, it's colours shifting as it worked out all manner of questions and probabilities. Hovering closer towards its friend as if to guard her, the elemental emanated a soothing, cool rush of air to let it's friend know she was safe no matter what.

Serenity's gaze twitched from one individual to another. Steadily, she heard her monetary worth climb, with offers from all manner of races, both male and female alike. Secretly, she hoped that at the very least she'd be paired with someone who would be interested in more than just her body, but that choice was no longer up to her. Fidgeting with the skirt of her bathing suit, Serenity quietly chewed her lip, her potential suitors slowly dwindling as the number continued to climb. Whispering to her elemental companion, Serenity attempted to blow off some nervousness by trying to make light of her predicament. "W-well... Maybe now I might find a partner... What do you think, Tryx?" Tryxlia shimmered in the sun, it's response flowing silently through the air and touching at Serenity's mind. This was the bond the two shared, and they had it since Tryxlia had first appeared to Serenity all those years ago. "Hmm... But if it's a male... What should I do..? I don't... Well I guess some look ok, but... I'd still rather... Well, you know..." A gust of wind blew gently, lifting Serenity's golden strands into the air, her hair flowing almost whimsically in the breeze. How is it that she'd managed such a competition? She didn't think she was anything special... Just a bookish girl who wanted to further her abilities. Though... If someone strong were to claim victory... Maybe...

"Why did I even let them talk me into this?" The sun beamed down on the sparkling sand and glistening waters of Costa Del Sol, it's patrons chattering and bustling about in their various forays. The first ever cross-cultural auction was picking up speed, with various patrons eyeing the events and games of chance and fortune. Would that Serenity could take part in the festivities, but alas... She'd been nominated to represent the Arcanist Guild for the charity. Even worse, her role was to be showcased for one of the Grand prizes of 'A day with your own Arcanist'. Call it what you may, Serenity knew it was little more than a ruse to stage a 'win a date with the beauty' auction. She'd seen the other incumbents from the other guilds... All were either obnoxiously pretty or ruggedly handsome. "Why did I even let them talk me into this?" Taking her place in line beside her fellow prisoners, the Miqo'te did her best to fake a smile. In truth she detested the idea of being up there and gawker at. She'd rather be under a palm tree researching the Summoners of yore. However, her senior scholars made sure that her participation was a demand and not a request. And here she found herself, knees quivering as the thought of being scooped up by an undesirable patron for a day made her want to cry. Her lifelong friend Tryxlia was her sole saving grace, and accompanied her up on the makeshift stage with its signature flurry of colours. Had it not been around there would have been no way she could have mustered the courage to be where she was. And with that thought, she heard her name called up to the stage. With a deep breath, she gave a warm smile as she passed through the curtain and into view. As she walked, the announcer of the event informed the crowd of the essentials. "Next up, we have Serenity Maescia representing the Arcanist Guild! This gorgeous young vision is stunning in her one-piece striped swimsuit and has been studying with the guild for nearly half her life! Those who know her say she's very soft spoken but can be lots of fun with the right people with her. Now's your chance to spend a day with her and get to see what she's all about! We'll start off at a hundred Gil! Any takers?"

Serenity has a rather unhealthy obsession with Lalafell... But she's too shy to ever do anything about it

*waves her hand sheepishly* Uhm...Hi there... I wouldn't mind.. Uhmm... Getting to know you, maybe... Sometime?

Uhmm... I'm not sure where to start, Tryxlia said I might have luck with new people if I wrote out a blurb here... So here it is. Ummm... My name is Serenity. I'm a student at the Arcanist Guild and I've only recently begun my research at this particular branch. I guess I'm hoping to find... Well, someone who can spend time with me... And maybe share a laugh or two... But please don't be offended If Tryx is cautious... She's finicky sometimes and she's... Ummm... Well she's known for causing mischief. But please, I hope that... Well, someone will read this. I'm no good at these things. Signed, Serenity Maescia ((OOC: I'm going to be transferring to Balmung once I get my PC fixed and would love to see if there's anyone interested in having some lighthearted RP with Serenity. Please feel free to check out her player directory or her character wiki. I look forward to meeting any and everybody who's interested in discussing things! Please don't be shy about messaging me!))

I. Basic Info Characters:Serenity Maescia Primary character:Serenity Maescia Linkshells:None yet Primary RP linkshell:None yet [*][*][*][*] II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): I personally tend towards light-medium as I prefer the back-and-forth between characters and don't quite have the necessary patience for multi Paragraph writings. That being said, I can certainly go that route if so inclined... But I admit it will take me even longer than most to finish that kind of writing. Views on RP combat and injuries: I've never really done this style of RP before, but I'm not totally against it. I'd request some walking through before anything were to happen, and of course when it comes to permanent damage, I have the final say. Views on IC romance: Serenity is a VERY naive girl and I can see this proving to be quite the hilarious scene for those who attempt to approach it. I'm open to suitors and those who wish to press their luck, and I quite enjoy all aspects of romance writing. That's not to say I'll do the more adult types of RP with just anyone but I certainly don't shy away from it. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): This would be an interesting idea, as Serenity's backstory leaves a chance for many half-siblings and even meeting her mother/father at some point. Message me first and we'll see. Views on lore: I'm not a lore whore, but I do like to keep things at least somewhat in line with what's been written. This is a case-by-case scenario. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I usually do my RP the following ways: /say - IC unless stated otherwise /party - OOC unless specifically RPing with a small private group /tell - OOC unless specifically stated otherwise My codes: "Text in quotes" - IC speech /me text - IC actions unless denoted as OOC ahead of time Text alone - OOC unless stated otherwise [*][*][*][*][*][*] III. Other Info Country:North America Timezone:Eastern Standard Time Contact info:Mostly on the forum for now until I transfer over. Need my PC fixed first. Please feel free to reach out, though!

It would be utter trickery, she'd be under the impression that they were her friends and would have only ever seen them as RED and GREEN

Ok after some thought I did a little editing and changes. Would love more input from anyone who wishes to share!

Wow Kilieit... That was a lot to digest. I guess what I'm looking for I'd to convey that one of her major character flaws would be that constant yearning for companionship. I suppose after looking at your descriptions, the voidsent or the custom carbuncle could work, but either way, she'd still need the summoner stone in order to have them around. I'm not exactly looking to follow the lore 100%, but the closer I can stick to it the better

Hey all! I'm back after a fairly long hiatus and I think I'll be making the splash and transferring to Balmung once I get my computer fixed. In keeping with the fresh start idea, I want to re-imagine my character and was hoping I could run my bare-ones list of ideas past people to see what people thought and to maybe see if anyone has any exciting thoughts as to how to flesh my ideas out. Here's what I have so far: TRAITS : - adept at magic, low physical aptitude - Skittish, shy and cautious of others - prone to the suggestions of her summons, may act out of character BIRTH : - Female Seeker of the sun, born S'Reyne Teh to S'Teh Nuhn and T'rehza Surche. - Unwanted from birth due to the scandal of her dual tribe birth, was left mostly alone and shunned by her father. CHILDHOOD : - shunned by the tribe for her magical aptitude and evasive nature - pored over any piece of magic related literature she could find - practiced mostly with the elements of fire and air - her loneliness and desire for companionship caught the attention of a pair of voidsent imps - imps took the form of fire and wind elementals - called those elements her friends, RED and GREEN (will come up with names later) TEENAGE : - rebelled against her tribe, found out truth about her birth - father recognized the two voidsent, argued with Serenity about it - father banished her from tribe - Took the name "Serenity" and gave up her true name. - Serenity wandered, strengthening her ties with the pair as she traveled. - arrived in Lisa Lominsa and enrolled in the Arcanist guild - spent years manipulating her elements in conjunction with the summoning practices of the guild. YOUNG ADULT : - voidsent began causing hallucinations and weaving their dark suggestions to Serenity. - Would randomly find herself coming to in precarious situations; stealing, trickery, indecent acts, etc. So yeah, this is what I have so far. I know it's bending the rules of summoning but I would like to keep that part of her. At any rate, let me know what you think, please!

Sure! Adding you to my queue! Send an e-mail to [email protected] when you're able with references and whatnot! Email sent.

I'm always happy to have more artwork, and I like your style. If it'd please you, feel free to peruse Serenity's reference pics here: http://m.imgur.com/a/L2SB6 Serenity also loves couples pics with her wife, Lucine, whose reference pics can be found here: http://m.imgur.com/a/dQq2M

Could I be put down for a waist up couple's pic?

That's not me. How bizarre. At least it gets the word out

I don't know... I'll let you know once I'm at home. Good thought, I didn't look.

Same, I'm on Lamia and was lucky enough to find a linkshell of people. Keep plugging away!

I'm not on Ragnarok, but if I see anyone from there I'll be sure to send them your way! Best of luck!

Just an update, I made a wiki page about Serenity in case people wanted to know more about her. It's in the beginning stages so there isn't much, but it's better than before. Thanks everyone for all your help and support!

Hi everyone =) I just joined the forum and I'm hoping it will help find someone I can RP and/or ERP with during weeknights. I know many people here aren't on Lamia, but I might as well give it a try. A little about my character, she's a talented mage who's looking for some extra companionship. Her mood could be described as fairly mild mannered, but easily annoyed. She's also a bit of a ditz, making keeping people close to her a hassle. I'm hoping to meet a female character (male player is totally fine) if ERP is to be considered, but for general RP I welcome any race and gender. I'm always happy to meet and chat with new people so please feel free to respond here, send me a private message (are there PMs on these forums?) or contact me in-game on the same username I use here. My playtime is usually from 7pmish till 11 EST, but I'm happy to stretch it slightly for the right player.
