Satomi Lingshen: A Brief Primer
The daughter of a wealthy family, Satomi was born to two doting parents who strove to raise a dignified young lady who would someday inherit the family business, bringing pride and further fortune to their name. Treated to an education most could not afford and raised with a silver spoon in her mouth, Satomi had lofty expectations heaped upon her from the day she was born.
These expectations would go unmet, however. From a young age, Satomi took a special interest in the various scientific fields, eschewing the family business and mercantile traditions of her forebears in pursuit of greater understanding of the achievements of the ancient Allagans and even the Garleans. While common knowledge dictated that both empires had utilized their technology to rule much of the known world with an iron fist, Satomi recognized in those developments the potential for technology to enrich the lives of all peoples, not only the powerful.
As she grew older and her special interest grew into an obsession, she funneled much of her wealth into opening a research lab of her own. Dubbed the Lunatic Creative Laboratory as a tongue-in-cheek dig at her parents, who had long described her passion for science as “insane”, “impractical", and “wholly unfit for someone of your upbringing”, Satomi teamed up with a Bozjan engineer by the name of Juniper Lockley, and together they have spent the last half-decade reverse engineering salvaged Allagan tech and studying Garlean magitek while inventing very little of practical value.
Newly cut off from her inheritance until she “sees reason”, Satomi has found herself pursuing alternative funding for her lab. (To be continued…)
OOC Information
Thank you for taking the opportunity to check out my character! There are a few things I want to cover up front, before we get into the details.
- If you would like to discuss RP, please leave me a detailed message on Discord. My username on Discord is vincere. Please note that I do not respond to random friend requests or short messages, because I get a ton of spam adds and message requests every week. If you leave me a detailed message on Discord, I will respond.
- I am in my early 30s, and I live in the Western US. As a result, my timezone is PST.
- I have been RPing off and on since I was a teenager and I am constantly striving to provide quality posts.
- Currently, my schedule is pretty open and flexible, and with advance notice I can generally make any time or day work provided it's not past my bedtime. That said, I do require that RP be scheduled in advance! I do not often have the ability to take on impromptu RP.
- My characters and I are LGBT+ friendly. I would prefer not to interact with people or characters who are not. Thank you for your understanding.
- I cannot in good conscience recommend attempting to set up a Discord RP with me. I have a very flighty attention span and perform best in scenes that last 3 hours maximum. Any longer than that and I get antsy.
- I am not interested in RPing with canon characters, including the Warrior of Light. Additionally, I am not interested in RPing with anyone who makes a habit of metagaming, godmodding, power gaming, letting IC bleed OOC, or otherwise disrespecting the golden rules of RP.
