The fall of Dalamud, Bahamut’s rampage of destruction, and the subsequent chaos in the streets of Uldah was a traumatic ordeal for him to go through. he doesn’t know if his home isle made it through it all unscathed or not, but till this day it eats at him not knowing if his family is still alive and ok, and too much of a coward to journey home to find out cause it would mean having to face the guilt of feeling like he abandoned them.After years of training reaching the limits of all there was to learn in the Arrzaneth Ossuary he striked out on his own, beginning to wander the lands in search of magics both lost and forbidden. Still new to Eorzea so he’s looking to make new acquaintances and friends and working to form his own coven of mages.

“It's Only a Paper Moon”
Hello! You can call me Panda, long time rper of 13 years and new final fantasy fan so apologies if this character is rough around the edges, constructive feedback always welcome c:Style:
-3rd person
-Para/MultiparaDo want:
-Slice of life/character driven RP setups, anything from casual to serious/darker themes.
-Characters who can act as allies/friends to Nimh, connections to black markets, night life and the criminal underworld, higher status/power people he can ingratiate himself with, and other mages to go out into the world with to hone their skills.
-Long term plotsDon't want
-My character is a grown man and I play him as such, Lalas are halflings/dwarves not children, kindly please don’t treat him like a kid (pats are tolerated though)
-on a completely inverse note while I’m down for romance if it’s discussed don’t make it weird please. Lala might not be children but people who go out of their way to erp then are incredibly suspect
-lore breaking characters. Lore bending is more then okay as I do a bit of that portraying the lalafell of his home isle as analogs of Dwarfs of the 1st but characters that fully break the lore are a no go.
-character bleed
-Forced death
-Powergaming
Potential hooks
