| • The best way I can describe his abilities is if he were like a fucked up blue mage. • Mimicry of powers and faint absorption of memories and personalities from consuming the aether of others. • Can cast dark-aspected magic as well as deploy aether-draining arts for undisclosed reasons. He sticks to this more often than not, since this comes quite naturally to him. Sometimes this is cast in tandem with the rapier and crystal medium. • Generally unskilled at crafting and gathering. |

AESTHETICS
you'll never love me and it shows
· In an earlier time, Cillian was known as an adventurer garbed in red and armed with steel. He was known to have gone out of his way helping those in need. Now, there are a handful who still remember him like this, but nothing could be further from the truth.
· A very perceptive individual capable of sensing the aether in their surroundings might see through his disguise.
—for who I truly am.
· He can sustain himself on normal food, but it hardly provides any real sustenance for him. That being said, he seems to have a bottomless pit for a stomach when dining. Despite this, "Cillian" has the funds to pay for his meal - that is, if his eyes aren't bigger than his stomach in that moment.
· Any adventurer or fellow merchant who finds themselves stranded would do well not to cross his path, or at the very least watch their backs around him, for he is an opportunist with a greedy heart and an air of charisma.

WIP. who knows where this guy came from
i.
I don't RP much nowadays and this is a carrd to present my OCs, but you can still approach me about ideas you have about our characters interacting. I enjoy brainstorming a lot! In the event that I do decide to RP, there will be some rules here you need to follow.
ii.
MINORS UNDER 18 DNI. There will be very dark topics at play here that I don't want to expose younger people to. If I find out you're a minor or suspect you are, I will block.
iii.
Basic RP etiquette includes but is not limited to: No godmod (controlling what my characters do without my permission) and no stealing. Inspiration is fine if you get ideas from me of how to present your character for example, but if you take a bunch of traits from my characters and make them yours and it seems to have come out of nowhere, I have reason to believe that you may be stealing and will block.
iv.
No ERP, as it's not within my comfort zone.
v.
Cillian is not open to new ships. Judas is very selectively open to new ones. However, be aware that shipping with Judas will involve lots of toxic elements—you've been warned. If you aren't ok with that, please reconsider. You're more than welcome to form other types of bonds though (friends, enemies, business partners, partners in crime, etc.), just use your imagination. Muses flirting or having one-sided crushes is permitted, this does not count as shipping for me. That said, if you're only interested in shipping, you'll have to look elsewhere. I love exploring other bonds that aren't just steeped in romance and don't prioritize making those kinds of ships when interacting with others.
vi.
I may be a little open to RP in-game, but just know it's going to be very difficult for me as I'm not yet familiar with it. I do RP more along the shorter side—anywhere from one-liners to a few paragraphs. I cannot do novella-length RPs. If you're still willing to do RP with me, we can take it elsewhere like Discord.
vii.
IC ≠ OOC. Their actions do not reflect mines, and any dark topics discussed here are not ones I approve of irl and do my best not to romanticize; they are a part of who my characters are. If you cannot separate mun from muse, you should probably look elsewhere.
viii.
Please keep in mind that I have a life outside of XIV and am low on energy when it comes to actually writing. Wait times may be pretty long if you decide to RP with me. A reminder once in a while about replies is fine, but if you seem like you're very demanding, it won't make me write faster and I might end up breaking ties with you.
ix.
Things that may prevent me from following/interacting: spoilers that I haven't played through yet, ship-chaser, too much NSFW (unless I know you; I don't mind seeing it but if it's all I see on your twt it will give me other impressions about you), nasty OOC vibes, drama. Otherwise, I pretty much am willing to interact with anyone. I don't do follow-for-follow; you have to interest me enough to make me consider following you.
x.
Please refrain from involving me in drama. I'm just here to play the video game and also talk about OCs and post pretty pictures.
