Born in the Golmore Jungle, Delanie lived a life of endless curiosity. Fascinated by the tales of the outside world she began to develop a curious mind for the many races and places of Hydaelyn. After a painful goodbye she made the decision to depart her forest life and begin anew in the wider world. Sadly nothing would prepare her for what she would witness. A world stemming from conflict. She would not allow the chaotic nature of the star to discourage her and would eventually travel until coming to a small colony in the most northern region of Dravania. Learning they were but a group of peaceful scholars, Delanie found herself settling in and eventually calling this new place home. In time she took up a name more in line with the customs of her new home and soon began a life dedicated to study.

More and more she would dive into the wonders of the star, even making requests to gleaners to bring back artifacts from other races. There was one artifact brought back which sparked her curiosity to the lost magi civilization of Nym. Thus did she petition the Forum to allow her to go afar to research her studies more closely, and personally.. Reluctant as they were, the Forum finally agreed due to seeing the value in the knowledge the research could bring. Delanie would spend time searching the lands of Vylbrand after her petition was agreed upon. Most of her time was spent within the old ruins which scattered Vylbrand’s landscape, studying their Nymain culture and hoping to get a better understanding of their lost healing magics. Due to her endless curiosity she came upon a long lost soul crystal which allowed her to unlock the secrets to the lost civilization’s magic. Though the longer she stayed from home, the more she also learned of the wars and strife which were beginning to plague Hydaelyn. Rumors of a new Empire sweeping across the lands had reached her ears, and as it spread she heard of the mass exodus of her new home. She eventually returned to Old Sharlayan, but with a new found goal. With her new magic she wished to aid those in need, those who had lost much due to the Garlean Empire’s conquest. She was quickly denied this request as it went against the many rules which Sharlayan followed. Unhappy with the Forums’ decision on the matter, Delanie chose to abandon Sharlayan and walk her own path… Personality Faith: The Twelve Sexuality: Homosexual; Polygamous (Open) Relationship Status: Married to her research and studies Likes: Studying, Reading, Cooking, Coffee, Meeting New People, Aiding Others, Working Out Dislikes: Rudeness, Racism, Bigotry, Unnecessary Violence, Abandonment Personality Trait: “There’s nothing I like more than a good mystery.” Ideal: “The goal of a life of study is the betterment of oneself.” Bond: “It is my duty to protect my patients.” Flaw: “I am easily distracted by the promise of information.”

She is a warm, welcoming woman who is even calm around complete strangers. There is a stern side to her, showing it only when needing to make a point or teaching someone. She often uses her knowledge to aid others in understanding themselves. Her ears always open for those who wish to speak of their troubles. Thus, does she offer herself as a personal psychologist as a means of helping others and a way to finance herself. Physical Appearance Hair Color: Blonde Eye Color: Blue Height: 5’11” Weight: 175 lbs. Body Shape: Bronze Skin Tone, Feminine, Small Bust, Curvy Hips Tattoos/Markings: Beauty Mark, Freckles (Face & Body) Attire: Scholarly Outfits, Suits & Vest, Jewelry Scent: Lavender Delanie stands at five feet and eleven inches tall, skin a light bronze tone and hair a beautiful dirty blonde. She is usually dressed in scholarly attires and vest in the cities, but outside on the road she is found in a more suitable attire that is more comfortable for traveling. Her body is curvaceous with a small bust. There is a beauty mark along her bottom lip, and freckles which dot her face and body. She always seems to have an althyk lavender scent, often a widely sought after perfume by the upper class for its rarity.

Out-of-Character Information

I go by Dizzy (She/Them) and I'm 21+ years of age but feel free to call me by whatever character you know me as. I will only roleplay with fellow adults (21+). Please do not approach if you or your character are underage.

I'm very much an introvert and suffer from social anxiety, because of this I rarely do walk-ups or send tells to start a scene. I'll even clam up if I spy anyone targeting me or sending me a tell; please don't be insulted if my OOC responses are short. It's just who I am.

My IC post can be (most likely) slow and known to have typos. I'm not the best at typing and oftentimes my thought process in writing properly can lead me to be slow in the response; typos tend to happen due to this as I try to rush out the emote to not keep the other waiting.

I've only been Roleplaying for maybe seven or eight years now. I started in World of Warcraft and came over to Final Fantasy XIV about five years ago. There have been a few ups and downs along the way but I'm usually open to scenes when my anxiety allows.

My availability can be tight to some, generally only free Sundays and Mondays during the afternoons and evening hours (CST US).

I can be adaptive to my Roleplay partners when needed, I prefer para form emotes but can also do simple on-liners if the situation calls for it.

I'm open to all forms of Roleplay within reason. (I don't accept character deaths; FFXIV is not alt friendly, and it would be annoying to reroll.) As mentioned in Roleplay Hooks, I am not interested in instant/pointless ERP encounters. While I do not shy away from writing such things I do wish for there to be some kind of character development to happen. As the saying goes 'At least buy me dinner or something first.' Anyone seeking my characters for just ERP entertainment will be ignored.

I do not use /crimes/, nor do I see the /moon/. Sorry if this is a roleplay mood killer for you, but I'm just not comfortable with such things.

If you ever catch me then feel free to ask me for a scene; due to my shyness I can often overlook asking myself and I'm rather gentle with a letdown should I be busy that day.
