ROAM of the SILVERBRUSH

“Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

Basics & Personality

Basics
Gender: Female
Race: Miqo'te
Age: 22
Marital Status: Single
Orientation: Heterosexual (probably)
Occupation: Painter and Sculptor
Alignment: Neutral
Personality: Depending on who you ask one could find Roam to be charming, aloof, or even annoying. Warm and friendly on first contact the girl doesn't know a stranger. However, Roam can also be very aloof. A true dreamer and artist it wouldn't be unheard of for her to become distracted mid-conversation with something entirely different or begin speaking about something entirely off-topic without warning. Whether she does this inadvertently or with full clear intention is anyone's guess.

History

Roam's history is a strange one, and when asked or pressed about it the miqo'te is quick to change the subject, pretend she didn't hear, or act as though she was asked something entirely different. A little odd by nature it makes her hard to pin down. In truth Roam isn't a miqo'te at all. At least not as far as she sees it. She's a Mystel. Roam originally hails from The First, more specifically from Eulmore. She was born to a family of free citizens, but from a young age she found herself drawn to the many artists that entered the city walls as bonded servants. Often seen in their company more often than that of her peers she began to glean from them all she could. At first she was simply a child with a talent, but as she developed in age her talent developed with her until she became an impressive force of talent and skill in both painting and sculpting. Her family was fine in letting her express herself and spend hours upon countless hours in her room with her supplies as her only companion. In their eyes she was entertained and they were freed up to do as they pleased without having to provide extra-curricular activities to do so.

So the obvious question becomes 'How did she end up on The Source?'. In truth she's not sure. One night she was painting a cityscape, she saw it so clearly. Blue waves of the ocean with a city that hung high over it. She imagined the pirates that walked along its white streets and the way the sea breeze smelled. When she awoke she was certain she was in fact still dreaming. The very city she'd painted the night prior she was now in. But when she awoke the next morning she was still there, unsure of how or why. The only thing she'd managed to bring with her were the clothes upon her back and the silver brush that she'd fallen asleep with that same, fateful night.

Roam's Gift

While still a very young child, developing her skills as a painter and sculptor Roam discovered something wholly unusual about herself. The sculptures that she made.... she could bring them to life. Similar to the white mages on The Source in times long since passed. She didn't think much of it, but one day her mother discovered this strange ability as she walked into her room, assuming she was talking to her stuffed animals or imaginary friends as so many little girls often did. But what she found gave her quite the shock. She told her daughter she mustn't tell people about this ability. It had to stay hidden for her own sake. What the woman's intentions were are impossible to say. But Roam listened as she realized this gift she had must not have been as common as she thought.

Since Roam has come to the first she learned how to use this gift as her own form of combat. She needed to defend herself being entirely alone in a strange, new and much larger world than the one she was used to. She carries around with her a sketchbook at all times. The object in question is teel in color with a silver stag jumping on the cover. To defend herself Roam will carry pocket sized images of a sculpture or two along with her and imbue it with life. In her sketchbook she will draw with her silver brush in her pages and imbue the statue with spells, having to be careful and precise while she paints in order to cast perfectly. Once finished the statue can attack once with the ability she has given it.

OOC & Hooks

Hooks
-Are you searching for an artist or a sculptor? Roam could absolutely be your girl. It's how she makes her living now and she's definitely in need of the work and is very much so unkown still.
-Roam travels often for inspiration and for work. Perhaps you bump into her on the road
-Are you from the first? Are you a Eulmoran? Maybe you remember also seeing her wandering about the city and approach her.
-Is your character shy? Roam's not! And if she notices something she thinks is interesting about your character she has no problem approaching and pointing it out (no matter how off-color the comment may seem)
-Your character catch her sketching them
-Or maybe she's just set up some place in order to paint and you're curious as to what she's painting
-She's made a pop-upstand to sell her wares and you're an interested buyer

Or literally anything else! If none of these appeal I love coming up with tailor-made hooks for our characters that fit both and make sense. Let's chat and come up with one together!

About Me

Hello there! Thanks so much for taking an interest in my brain baby! I'm a friendly, queer-ass individual who loves to chat OOC and get to know my fellow writing partners. I've been RPing for a long, long time now. I'm very flexible when it comes to where I RP. I can RP in game, over discord, or on Google Docs even. I'm definitely looking for more long term RP partners, but I'm open to whatever. But that’s, of course, assuming that we hit it off. I understand that not all writers mesh and maybe we just aren’t meshing! This doesn’t mean either one of us is a bad writer. Given my age I’m also looking for someone who’s 21+.

With RP, it is very much my belief that real life takes precedence. I’m naturally patient when it comes to writing with someone. So if we are RPing don’t feel like I’m sweating it if you’re taking your time replying (even if we’re in game together, it’s all good!).

I'm definitely not afraid of dark, mature or gritty themes. However, I don’t ERP simply for the sake of ERP. Like many writers here I prefer sex and romance to happen organically. We can discuss limits and all that good stuff once we're chatting and before RP starts just to make sure everyone's comfortable and on the same page! Comfort for both partners and communication is key to great RP relationships. I LOVE to brainstorm with my RP partners so feel free to throw ideas at me or have me do likewise. And whenever brainstorming I’m very much so not offended at ideas being rejected. I find it’s very helpful to simply throw a myriad of ideas up into the air and see which ones land.
Feel free to /tell me if you see me in game (she is on Balmung) or send me a message over discord!
