A stranger approaches!
A Vieran man stands before you, his hand dipping into his lab coat's pocket, retrieving a small vial which he holds aloft between two fingers. He gives you a friendly smile, his burned cheeks rounding and eyes narrowing. "Hello! Would you happen to have a moment?"
You successfully flee the encounter!
"Wonderful!" his smile grows and his tone levels into something a little more professional. "I'm afraid my usual test subje--" he clears his throat. "--assistant disappeared on me. Would you be willing to take their place?"
He nods, considering you. "We had been experimenting with a newer type of vitality potion. One of a medium potency and a longer acting duration. You will be handsomely compensated for your time if you give me a hand, of course."
"Ah-? Yes! A vitality potion. I'm sure you're aware of the effects," he enthuses, his gaze falling somewhere through you, not quite meeting your eyes. He seems to be paying close attention to your reaction.
You walk away without a word, and the Vieran man continues to chat as if you're still there, describing the various other potions he had on hand and those he had been working on recently. His voice carries only a few yalms before it fades into the background noise of the markets. Seems he didn't see you leave.
"O-oh! Ah?" he hesitates, clearly caught off guard. "Not... Ah? Intentionally."
"..."
A moment passes, and he hangs his head with a long, deep sigh. "I suppose it is very on the nose, isn't it?"
You walk away, and the Viera sighs. Better luck next time, Vrev!
He blinks, a small jump in his shoulders at your willingness to give him the time of day. He nods, pushing the vial back into his pocket and offering his now free hand toward you. "How about we start with tea? I'll have you sign some wavers, afterwards."
"Your childhood home is just powder white bone, and you'll never find your way back."
RP themes / info / seeking
IC walk ups in game (when RP tag is on)
All themes and scenes are open! Mature, horror, casual, erp, romance, platonic, you name it I'm likely down to write with you!
Discord rp is a-ok with me!
Minor or major injury in rp is good with me, but anything permanent or life altering must be discussed with me prior (likely I'm open to it! Just ask pls!)
Abusive relationships or themes are okay with me, please note that this character is not abusive to others, however.
Fair spars and fights, I tend to take disadvantage on things that need to be accurate and precise hits, and I'm more than happy to lose fights but I prefer them to be realistically balanced alongside /random rolls. I'm open to fights without rolls with the right people.
Anything not listed here that you're curious about, please feel free to ask! I am generally open to most topics and themes.
Please be sure to ask if I'm free to hang out if you're wanting to chat in game. I'm usually off doing things and they can be put down in most cases, but I don't want to be followed around or crowded when I'm online, I prefer to plan my time spent with others.
Note: Please remember, Vrev is not me, he is not a stand in for me ooc. Anything that happens ic between our characters is just that, our characters, and I would like this separation to be respected. ic feelings are not the same as ooc, and one or two conversations ooc does not mean I am your best friend.
I am not looking for ooc relationships or romance.
Metagaming/Godmodding or omnipotence.
All powerful / unbeatable characters. Just not fun to interact with for me, sorry!
I do not want to rp with characters who are: the WoL, ancients, sineaters or voidsent, characters from other franchises such as WoW, or notable NPC's.
I do not want Vrev's eyesight being fixed, he will remain blind without alteration or improvement. This will not be retconned or altered through roleplay, I enjoy writing him this way and it is not a plotpoint at all for this to change for him.
total lore breaking. i prefer to keep my rp close to or lore strict, with some bending here and there to keep things fun and creative. I'd like my own rp and those I engage with to be at least plausible and easily explained in the setting of FFXIV.
"I know how you feel, no secrets to reveal, nobody knows me at all."
The flowers by your bed are wilting.
Vrev is a blind, soft-spoken, and gentle former Wood-Warder who now lives among outsiders.An alchemist and doctor by trade, he has a focus in apothecary work as his main avenue of healing. He spends a majority of his working days making potions and other remedies, and half as much of his time managing a small clinic or helping at others around the city states when able. This leads him to travel quite often, but he has been found much more often in Thavnair at the Great Work than anywhere else, nowadays.Solitary to his core, but still a lover of companionship and company, he walks a delicate line of outsider and community member. He keeps his distance from others for the most part, never really offering up much information about himself outside of the very basic, easy things to find out. Some who have looked closely at the things he says realise quickly that they don't actually know him at all, and he seems happier when this is the case.He travels and sleeps where he happens to be, often setting up small campsites in the outlands rather than buying himself an inn room due in no part to gil restraints, but rather preferences. Having the sky above him feels more homey and safe than any roof ever could.Self sufficient and independent, it's rare to see him buying anything, for that matter. Food, clothing, or other needs he procures for himself if he is able, and if he isn't, he simply does not have it.He has come to realise that he doesn't want to break his old Wood Warder habits, and he chooses to instead better embrace them. While the role isn't true anymore given he is no longer in Golmore, he takes on the very principles of the role in how he holds and conducts himself instead, those still being very much important to him.Have you heard of the Vieran alchemist around the city states? Why don't you say hello sometime!Many details of this character have been left out of this carrd and can be found out through interaction! If you would like to RP and you see me online, send me a /tell!

And when you're gone, will they love you the same?"
"If not, that's okay."
History and Timeline
Note: Many details are left out of this background and history page. Further details of this character can be learned through interaction only, some being easier to learn than others. For characters who may have known him in the past (such as from the same village / old enough to have met him in some compacity) we can discuss!
I.
Childhood
0-16
He grew up within a small, secluded village in Golmore that was on the very edge of the jungle and the mountain range. Many details are unknown except to those who are also from this village.
II.
Warder Training
16-57
He left somewhat older than most men do, but he eventually did leave in his late teens for training.
Many details are unknown even to those from his village, the information having died with his mentor, much of which he does not share himself.
III.
Wood-Warder
57-173
Eventually after around 40 years of training, he was given the title of
Djt-Gilda, and he had been a Wood-Warder for a little over 100 years.
His title did change twice due to a shortage of Warders filling the roles needed, however for the longest time, he was Djt-Gilda.
He loved this time in his life, trained a few wards of his own, fathered children, married his wife, and fulfilled his role in the society he loved so dearly.
Many details are unknown.
IV.
Leaving Golmore
173-174
More recently at the age of 173, he fled his home in Golmore and found himself in Thavnair. He lived there for the better part of a year before eventually making his way to Eorzea. Much of what he shares tends to be from this time in his life onward, but even then, what he shares tends to leave people still feeling they don't know him at all.
It is unknown exactly the reasoning for him leaving.
V.
Thaumaturgy Teacher
174-176
After arriving in Eorzea, Vrev started to teach Thaumaturgy to various students. Durring a lesson, his aether ignited due to a mistake in spellwork where he almost lost his life. He continued to suffer for some time to come as it continued to burn in a low smolder, and he stopped teaching after the accident due to fear of another mistake.
VI.
Courtesantry
176-177
For the better part of a year he has worked as a courtesan. He enjoyed this overall and has made a number of friends through this line of work, but, recently he has moved on from this to new things.
VII.
Alchemist + Doctor
19-173 practical skill, 175-current refined skill
Currently, he has held a job in and continues to find himself passionate about Alchemy. He specializes in apothecary work, medicine and poison specifically.
He holds a job within the guild and children's ward in ul'dah, picks up odd jobs here and there, offers his time to a high house in Ishgard and it's tenants, and busies himself with personal projects. He hopes to focus more on this part of his life, and he has just opened an apothecary and family clinic!
VIII.
Warder Roots, Adventure Calls
178 - current
Nowadays, Vrev has a strong want to explore and experience the world around him. He often travels to new places to work and take in the cultures, never really staying for long but returning often.He has begun to live as he used to, taking a more firm hold in the guiding principles of what it meant to be a wood warder, and he will often express that he is still one. Regardless of not being a part of Golmore anymore, he is happy to keep a strong hold on his old values.
More to come!

Relationships
Key:
♥ = Romantic attraction
❥ = Physical attraction
✔ = Friend
✘ = Dislike/Foe
Note: these are relating to his feelings, not the mutual feelings between characters in each relationship that follows. Where he may think of someone as a friend, they may not, or vice versa for example.
Updated often! Keep an eye out for changes in details or views on characters!
✔❥♥ Hyacinth Odine
Non-romantic D/s partnershipㅤ
The two of them have a bond they both can't exactly explain, but they agree that each other act as a little piece of home. Vrev can't place the exact feelings he has for her, however they are officially in a D/s relationship that is not romantically involved. He sort of lives with her, now.Recently he has deeply wanted to grow closer to her, and see what others do in her. He holds a great deal of fear of her nowadays, however, and this barrier keeps him at a distance he wants to close. He hopes that things change.
✔❥♥ Leo Valentine
So, now what are we?ㅤ
Vrev attends his dance performances often, and has recently told him something he has never told a soul. He's unsure what draws him so much to this rolanberry man, but he can't help but visit often and finally, after a long wait, tell him he loves him. He hasn't found anyone else he has felt so comfortable around, yet. He is able to really open up and show his true colours around Val which he appreciates greatly.
✔❥ Zevik
Friendshipㅤ
A Hrothgar who he didn't realize was a Hrothgar for several months. They seem to get along well enough, however for some reason being together brings out the stupid in both of them. Vrev enjoys his company overall.
✔❥ Nevivi Nevi
Friendshipㅤ
A Lalafellen doctor he knows from a small venue, he's looking forward to getting to know her better.
They recently took a vacation in Thavnair and he enjoyed himself, even if he was forced to relax.
✔ Reva Cryptwarden
Siblingsㅤ
Well, that sure was a surprise to run into his twin sister in Ul'dah of all places.
Recently he had gone to meet her at the very edge of Golmore to return something to the wood that wasn't meant to leave. They spoke briefly, and he left, only to find a month or so later she had decided to leave Golmore as well.
✔ Doctor Kieva
Coworkersㅤ
What a nutty alchemist she is. Vrev holds a great deal of respect for her and her work, but getting out to her campsite can be a bit of a hassle. He goes to her for all of his ashkin needs, given that is her specialty. She tends to outshine him in matters of eccentricism, which he doesn't mind.
