rule one.   Respect my time.   I can't spare hours every night to RP, I'm a full-time artist who can work up to 15 hours a day. I'm often exhausted and can't dedicate static-level hours to roleplay several nights a week. I don't tolerate being pressured to do so, ever. I'm available most nights after 8pm EST, but I prefer venue RP if our characters haven't interacted before.rule two.   No blending.   I require anyone I choose to roleplay with to have a very strong IC-OOC barrier. Blending is when OOC feelings intertwine with IC ones, whether they be good or bad. Just because my character is mad at you doesn't mean I am, and you shouldn't assume that of me. I don't tolerate blending in the slightest, and won't RP with anyone who shows signs of it.
rule three.   Age requirement.   If you OOC are not over the age of 21, do not interact with me. I am a 30+ adult who is not interested in roleplaying with someone a decade younger than me. With this, I refuse to RP with characters under the age of 18, as all of my OCs are uncomfortable interacting with minors and so am I.

rule four.   muse death.   I do not allow my muse to be murdered or maimed unless previously plotted. All plotted deaths are subject to being AU as I like my muse and do not want her to die permanently. Dismemberment or pernanent alteration of my muse can happen with plotting with trusted individuals only, but is very rare.rule five.   metagaming.   Unless discussed prior to a scene, I will never use information that I, the writer, knows about a character that my muse does not know. This includes information I may read on a carrd or profile before interacting. I ask that the same courtesy be given to me, that you do not use information found here to get an edge on Siobhan unless it's something your muse may know from the hooks section.rule six.   boundaries.   I don't tolerate pushy behavior, and I don't tolerate those who are very obviously only roleplaying with my muse to get something out of her or out of me. I'm liberal with setting boundaries for my own comfort. If I lay down a boundary with you, respect it or else.

rule seven.   no bigotry.   I do not and will never roleplay with characters that are representations of racist, transphobic, or homophobic themes. I shouldn't have to put the specific types of characters/tropes in question here for it to be understood. I will also not roleplay with writers who are bigoted in anyway - absolutely no racism, homophobia, or transphobia will be tolerated in any way. It's an instant blacklist.rule eight.   shipping and nsfw.   Siobhan is intentionally difficult to romance, due to her trauma and grief over losing her love. She is, however, outwardly kind and can lead people on, intentionally or unintentionally. I will only ship with a muse that has deep chemistry with Siobhan and is someone that I trust OOC. With few exceptions for plot and only with trusted friends, I do not write any explicit RP.rule nine.   file sharing.   I only share my PCP files with trusted friends. I'm happy to share art and images of Siobhan as she looks different than vanilla, but I'm not comfortable giving certain things away to just anyone - please consider how long we've interacted before asking.

writer info. I'm Flash. My pronouns are they/them, and I'm a nonbinary professional artist. I spend my time taking commissions and working on merchandise. I love to write and roleplay in my spare time and flesh out my characters with my art. I have a wonderful partner of 11 years and a dog who is my world ♥
disclaimers. Siobhan's character can deal in themes of heavy personal grief, parental neglect, manipulation of memory, the symptoms of and results of alzheimer's, and depictions of violence that happened in the past.credits. sidebar art. carrd layout.contact. bsky.

  miscellaneous details.    Her eyes are bright coral orange and have streaks like sun rays throughout the iris. Though not truly possible, it seems she radiates a warmth and slight sunniness; in her presence, you feel like you're enjoying a breezy day under the sunshine.Her manner of dress is dependent on her work for the day - one may find her in leather armor and a fur mantle while hunting, or in breezy, patterned fabrics when not in the wilds. Her nails are often painted colorfully and filed to a point, and she wears jewelry most often made of leather, wood, and bone.For a well traveled, well-weathered hunter such as her, Siobhan is markedly scar-free - or so it would seem. Some sort of magick or glamour conceals the various scars left by bites, scratches, and gashes left behind by some of her more perilous hunts.  personality.     Everything about her has an airiness one can hardly describe without seeing it themself. Siobhan's steps are light, so quiet that one could hardl hear her coming, if it were not for her talking. Her hair falls light and slow around her shoulders when it follows her movements.Siobhan may move in an effortlessly graceful manner, but her impulsive manner of speaking betrays her. She's endlessly talkative and inquisitive, preferring deep and uncomfortable questions over small talk every time. She wants to know what makes a person tick, what memories stick with them all the time, and what secrets and emotions they could divulge to her. She rarely considers the consequences and doesn't always understand what is and isn't a social faux pas.

  history.     Siobhan was born to her Hellsguard mother in the Dravanian forelands, a member of the community of Tailfeather. She grew up a hunter and trapper, following the tradition of her mother and her grandmother before her. She spent her early days in the trees, at first learning the art of the hunt. She honed her skills in both the bow and the spear, until she could stand on her own as a hunter. Siobhan loved to spend idle time staking out her hunts in the tall Caelum trees, pretending she was a bird and singing to the wildlife nearby.While growing as a young girl, Siobhan learned that within her maternal line was a blessing few could claim to have - a way of gleaning lost memory from places, people, and even things such as heirlooms and hand-me-downs. Memory attaches itself to things, she learned, and she, her mother, and her ancestors before her had the gift to take the memory from their target and keep it safe, so it was never forgotten. This is how her family history was kept; and how Siobhan was taught - how she, too, would keep the memory alive when she was old and her family was gone.Time passed, and as Siobhan grew, a fire burned in her chest. Wanderlust quickened in her heart, having known near every blade of grass and wayward leaf within the Forelands. Much to the deep disappointment of her mother, she left the Forelands with naught more than her chocobo, a few camping essentials, and a tattered journal with everything she remembered up until then. She traveled to Ishgard, and that's where her real story began to take shape...
                           (more coming soon!)  

headcanon one. Her ability to extract memory out of places is a form of Echo blessing. Siobhan herself does not remember how she recieved it, as her grandmother and mother took the memory from her. However, she was forcibly exposed to an image of a meteor shower, which granted her a very faint Echo. She has no other WoL/Echo-related power.
headcanon two. Siobhan's draft chocobo, Sostenuto, is extremely unsociable and irritable as an animal and only enjoys her presence. If you find yourself anywhere near Sostenuto, have care not to get pecked or scratched - he will try!
headcanon three. Siobhan was a courtier for a while and as such, knows how and when to act like a proper member of society - it's just getting her to remember when and where it's required. For the most part, social cues are droll at best for her - but she'll do her best if given the right direction.seasoned hunter. She's a great tracker, trained over her childhood to find marks - particularly of the beastly kind - from the smallest tracks and traces. Given a mark, she can spend days finding her charge.
memorymancer. has your character forgotten something? want them to forget something forever? siobhan can help - more so on helping you remember rather than helping you forget. Memory is precious.
focus-free. With some practice in astrology under her belt, she can even cast minor astrological magicks without a planisphere, as long as she can see the sky.

special weapons. consistently armed with a well-crafted spear and bow/quiver, the hunter's chosen tool set.
special items. carries some poisons and potions. conceals a planisphere and divining deck for sharlayan astrology among her belongings for healing.
fighting style. preferring to hunt game instead of people, siobhan will observe and gauge her approach based on the opponent. she may choose melee or ranged after that.
physical strength. she's strong, but not overly so - she prefers to use agility to build momentum and power behind swings, but she's strong enough to fully draw a longbow.starstruck. Studied in the skills of her father's homeland, Sharlayan, Siobhan can wield astrology for healing or harm.
insolent bard. she's a beautiful singer, with an airy voice that carries emotion far beyond the words.
survivalist. out in the field, Siobhan is well acquainted with the flora and fauna of the world, knowing where to find things to survive on for months in the wilds.
cartographer? maybe. Siobhan's map is heavily annotated and drawn on, marking secret places all across Eorzea she's discovered.
leathercraft. Though not the most skilled, she can tan and sew hide together to make useful items.

COMMON. Adventurer for Hire. Siobhan's main source of income is contracts from the Adventurer's guild and hunts commissioned by Clan Centurio the grand companies. If you have a job requiring a woman with a sharp weapon and a talent in tracking, she can get it done for you. She prefers monsters, but will hunt people for the right amount.COMMON. Job Hunter. Siobhan is almost constantly in some need for gil. She can't seem to keep it in her pockets for long - she's always on the lookout for odd jobs. Ask her - she's bartended, sold snake oil, busked on every street in the great city states, been on the Bloodsands, dabbled in trade porting... she's a jack of all trades, master of none.COMMON. Gifted with Song. Siobhan can sometimes be caught singing at one of the many performance houses that dot Eorzea's landscapes. Her songs evoke emotion and draw the listener in, her voice airy, dreamy, and siren-like in its quality. She weaves illusory magicks and projects her voice with aether to rouse spirits along with her music.COMMON. Living for the little things. If there was ever anything that enticed Siobhan to visit a place, it was the rumor of a an excellent meal, a fine vintage of wine, the world's best cocktail. Siobhan loves to indulge herself of life's simplest pleasures, and can be easily lured to a venue with the promise of something at least mildly interesting.

COMMON. The worldly woman. Siobhan takes it upon herself to learn all of the world's little secrets and lives of the peoples within it. She'll ask questions, sit and observe, and even go so far as to pester those she thinks she can learn something from, or glean a memory from.

COMMON. Beat of my drum. Siobhan's not one to stay in one place for very long. She wants to visit every corner of the world, but travel isn't cheap when your whole life is packed onto the back of a chocobo. She can blow into town and be gone the next day, or even be stuck in a place for many weeks just to gather the coin needed to get to her next destination.
RARE. Courtier, for a time. In her early twenties, she spent a few years among the courts of Ishgard, a songbird and escort for young lords of the courts who needed a pretty lady on their side for a night. She herself lived rough in the Brume, and left after the climate turned bitterly cold during the Calamity.

RARE. Astrologian. A combination of lessons at the Athaneum Astrologicum and her father's Sharlayan heritage has landed her with some skill in Sharlayan astrology. Siobhan is able to heal hurts and harm with an astrologer's magic, and keeps a planisphere and deck tucked away in her things where none can find them.
