heaven's CATASTROPHE.

one.

let's put ourselves first, shall we? i reserve the right to end communications with anyone for any reason, just as you have the right to end communications with me if you wish. i only ask that we are respectful towards each other above all else. you as a person come first, so take care of yourself! friendship is more important than any roleplaying we could be doing.

if the roleplay tag is on, you're free to approach in-character! (to be honest, it's on pretty much any time i'm online.) if you want to speak to me out of character, make sure you note that in your first message.

two.

three.

as this iteration of maeka was made specifically with being a warrior of light in mind (with the idea being that warriors of light are plentiful with at least a little connection to the scions of the seventh dawn), this version of her has no non-wol verse. this is non-negotiable. i am happy and plenty inviting for verses where she can interact with others that work with the scions! should you wish to roleplay with a non-wol, i would be happy to share her with you (an oc of the same name), though be aware she is drastically different from this maeka.

while i write maeka as single in her open verse, i am currently not open to shipping, as i have a singleship with my longtime roleplay partner. as of right now, this is not up for discussion. if you came here hoping for that, you will be sadly disappointed. for those not exactly looking for a romance, however, there may be negotiations available...

four.

five.

i am willing and almost enthusiastic to write rather dark and taboo subjects, but even i have topics i would rather stray away from. often if we are pre-plotting something, i will ask what you are and aren't comfortable with, and would appreciate if you respect my limits.

if we have a roleplay currently on-going and i haven't replied, you are more than free to remind me about our thread! i'm also prone to spontaneity, and will tend to start short burst threads that will end just as suddenly. if you ever want to continue one of those in particular, let me know! otherwise you are always welcome to reply to anything and everything.

six.

seven.

as of right now, i am not actively raiding with a static. i will be occasionally raiding and doing content in game however. my time is currently spent outside of the game, occupied with various life obligations. if you see me on, there's a chance i'm either afk or focused on something, so apologies in advance if i don't respond. all that aside. all that said, apologies in advance if my replies are slow, as my priorities have shifted quite a bit.

mare code available on request. feel free to ask about any mods you see in any of my screenshots (or in-game if we happen to be playing together), just be tactful about it, ya?

eight.

nine.

for sake of cordiality and approachability, i try to play her in venues as a bit more subdued and nice. however, should we end up roleplaying a bit more seriously, it's safe to expect she may not maintain that gentle demeanor very long.

i am an eternal work in progress, and have a tendency to take on multiple projects. while i won't tell you you absolutely have to be checking on me every single day, just know that changes to this carrd may be rather sudden.

MaeKa
of the
Nakaam tribe

General Information

AGE: 35
NAMEDAY: september 28th
BIRTHPLACE: doma
PATRON DEITY: midgardsormr azeymaRACE: dragon au ra, raen "variant"
GENDER: non-binary, fem lean
ORIENTATION: demisexualPLACE OF RESIDENCE: shirogane (mansion), limsa lominsa (semi-permanent boarding)
OCCUPATION: wanderer, mercenary, part-time maelstrom storm captain, occasional menace to societyLANGUAGES: due to the echo, she can understand any and all languages. (she makes for a good eavesdropper in that way.) that aside, she is fluent in doman and hingan normally, learning common tongue throughout her travels. up until post HW, her ability to speak eorzean is rather broken and hard to understand. it isn't fully comprehensible until around SHB.
VOICE: she doesn't speak to anyone she doesn't feel deserves her time, but even when it's necessary it can be soft-- surprisingly so maybe. but she can be overly excitable otherwise, maybe a bit too loud at times. ( Cantabile / Lucifer )
LINEAGE: the nakaam family believed they were direct descendants of dragons and embrace their more draconic sides. they are known to be a wellspring of aether, to the point where it almost seems to want to burst free from their skin (hence the glowing lines along their bodies). their belief in being partly (if not fully) dragon borders on religious piety. they cannot turn into physical dragons in any way however. the nakaams were known to be violent by nature, though generations down the line they chose to settle down and “allow themselves to be domesticated, to walk among those that cannot soar the skies”. the nakaam tribe, now all but gone after the invasion of doma, had served the doman kingdom for generations.
common nakaam traits are the lines of aether on their skin that intertwine with their white scales. they’re slightly sensitive to aether (with maeka herself being somewhat moreso due to the echo), and can sense slight changes in the atmosphere from it.^{for in-depth lore and backstory, see Lore. beware of spoilers.}

Appearance

EYE COLOR: left dark blue, right bright neon blue.
HAIR COLOR: dark blue
HAIRSTYLE: long, normally down to her mid-back. kept either down or in a messy ponytail. some hair is swept over her right shoulder. occasionally braids one side in tight rows. one long bang over the middle of her face. cut short during HW, regrown to full length in SB.SKIN TONE: fair
FACIAL TYPE: heart-shaped
MAKE-UP: shimmering blue eyeshadow, dark blue eyeliner. deep red lips. light blush.
BODY TYPE: mesomorph. wide hips and a perky chest. firm, slightly wide calves. muscular build.
HEIGHT: 5’1” | 155 cm.
WEIGHT: 135 lb.
CUP SIZE: DDPROMINENT SCARS: Faded brand in the middle of her throat, just above where her scales begin. its faded enough to not be able to tell what the insignia may have been, but the small hints of it can be assumed to be a family crest of some sort.
OTHER FEATURES: four pairs of horns, the top ones uneven. particularly white scales, and an overabundance of them. glowing neon blue lines along her entire body. long, arrow-headed tail.

COMBAT

JOBS
-- ARR: pugilist | marauder | warrior
-- HW: warrior | black mage
-- SB: warrior | black mage
-- SHB: monk (custom) | dancer
-- EW: dancer | monk (custom) | warrior^{monk(custom) - mixture of monk and dragoon, utilizing monk base moveset but dragoon-like skills instead of chakras, and dragoon oGCDs. post EW, utilizes dynamis and black magic into her kit. only uses clawed weapons/her own claws.
dancer - does not assign dance partners under normal circumstances. dance moves are more capoeira and breakdance stylized. uses fans instead of chakrams.
note: incapable of healing magicks. attempts to heal others end in the receiving party being burned or worse.}through her right eye, she can see aether (and to a lesser extent, sense dynamis).
highly proficient with usage of aether post-SB (thanks to her time learning about the forbidden black mage arts).
her elemental mastery lies in fire and ice, though she is capable of wielding other elements as well (albeit not anywhere near as efficiently).
by EW, she can use aether to create more physical manifestations of objects, though often opts against doing it as it can take a toll on her depending on the object. often utilized in battle to create aetherical weaponry. frequent user of noctis-style warp striking.

Strengths, Weaknesses, Virtues, Vices

STRENGTHS
AETHER SPECIALIZATION - her nature as a dragon grants her levels of aether far beyond the norm. over time she's learned how to make good use of her overabundance of it. it's also allowed her to use arts that most would not dare to try and take on, since her aether can usually withstand whatever demanding requirements may be needed. her overabundance of aether also lets her rapidly heal herself in the heat of battle, which allows her the durability and stamina to remain in a fight much longer than most would be able to.
STATURE - while she may protest it, her small stature allows her to be light on her feet and quick moving. this combined with her natural strength can make her particularly deadly on the battlefield.WEAKNESSES
INSTINCTIVE - maeka has no formal training in combat for the most part. all of her fighting is done on primal instinct. while she has pure strength on her side, in a formal fight can easily be overcome by someone that knows what they're doing. it also means she is prone to going out of control, which can make her difficult to work with.
AETHER SENSITIVITY - due to being a wellspring of aether, she is sensitive to aether all around her. this causes her to be particularly receptive to healing magics, if not to her detriment. healing her incorrectly will do more harm than good. at best it will upset her stomach, at worst it can knock her out. this only applies to pure healing (the sort that uses aether to stimulate the body's natural healing). shield healing, while it will make her uncomfortable due to the residual affects of said healing, generally does not affect her as badly.VIRTUES
FAITH - while her 'definition' of right or wrong may not be on the straight and narrow, she is firm in her beliefs and never strays from her path once she finds it, and shaking her belief once she's set on it is near impossible.
CHARITY - she would never outright admit to helping others. she comes first and foremost. but should she find herself swayed, she can be surprisingly giving to those she protects.
FORTITUDE - while it can be misconstrued as stubbornness, she can be unyielding once she finds her footing.VICES
WRATH - for as long as she remembers, she has always craved destruction. it's a part of herself she has had to work hard to keep under control-- being a sellsword had always kept it at bay, and fighting on the battle field can quell her neverending bloodlust for a moment, but above all she is a violent beast.
GREED - as with most dragons, she is a hoarder. she takes and takes, and while she can be giving, it's only because it's towards people she deems worthy (or who she considers her property).
LUST - while not entirely in a sexual sense, she will hoard people just as easily as objects. she lusts for not just carnal desires, but for power.

main verse for roleplaying with other warriors of light. once only a common sellsword, she took up arms for the scions when they discovered she had the blessing of the echo. she stands with others that are one of hydaelyn's chosen, though her thirst for carnage may be her undoing.

BREATH OF IRE.

o warrior of light.

solo warrior of light verse, open for non-wols to join. follows the main scenario storyline with our dragon as the titular savior.

garlean verse. taken from her family at a young age in a garlean-conquered doma, she was raised to be the perfect weapon, a dragon with a lust for destruction.

THE DARK DEMISE.

battle of destiny.

singleship verse. fate intertwines her life with a samurai that holds the other half of her soul.

closed double warrior of light verse. her journey with another blessed with the echo, where disaster is always but one step behind them.

hi, i'm vizu! i'm just a lil pebble with far too much free time and a passion for most things art! i'm a tad shy and awkward, but i'd like to make new friends, so don't be afraid to say hi to me!
if you understand the references i throw all through my carrd absolute hit me up.

words words words!

ways to get her attention, ways to approach, her typical haunts, things of the like.

can be found in:
-- kugane (post-EW)
-- limsa lominsa
-- ul'dah (rarely)
-- wolves' den
-- free company estate
-- her mansion
-- fight club venues (as a spectator, never as a fighter)
-- the bozjan southern front / zadnor

HAUNTS.

eye catchers.

things that get her attention:
-- shiny things
-- people with unusual aether
-- sweetsthings about her worth checking out:
-- warrior of light / known to work closely with the scions
-- sellsword / mercenary
-- physical features: strikingly white scales, glowing lines of aether visible on her skin and unusual horns
-- loiters in unusual spots
-- poor common tongue usage and heavy doman accentto those with aurasight or aether/dyanamis sensitivities:
-- astral ice / umbral fire aligned aether-- if one were to look at her directly, they would see the astral ice alignment is more along her right side, while umbral fire is more to her left
-- her aether is much larger than her physical form, perhaps even appearing to be two separate beings
-- it may exude a bit of pressure to those who can sense that, a feeling of a looming presence behind herto the perceptive:
-- other dragons may be able to pick up on her lineage
-- those with extensive knowledge of au ras may also notice she isn't particularly... auri

DOMAN: if you are of doman/hingan descent and can speak the language, it's an easy way to get her attention. she is fluent and more comfortable speaking in it, and doman is still present in her accent in present day. while her time in kugane wasn't the most pleasant, she still is fond of the east. she has an old-fashioned kiseru and can often be found smoking here and there.DRAGONS: with her draconic lineage, she's fascinated with other dragons, or those that have a fascination with her kind. while other au ras won't exactly capture her attention immediately, any that embrace a more draconic style can easily get her to turn her head. she is also plenty happy to talk to those that are interested in dragons.SCIONS: while she was never the most social, she still has connections with the scions, and thus with anyone who knows them. she'll at least be a bit more cordial with those associated with them than she would a regular ol' stranger.MAELSTROM: she is a high-ranking official in the maelstrom ranks, and can often be found loitering around the wolves' den or at the headquarters helping out. she doesn't particularly care about her rank, and won't address anyone by their rank, but she's respectful towards anyone loyal to their cause.

CONVERSATION POINTS.

POTENTIAL PLOTTABLE RELATIONS.

"MASTER": in her childhood, she was sold to a rich family in kugane and kept as nothing more than a pet. after the untimely death of her masters (in the incident that ended up with her in eorzea), she actively tried to avoid going back to the east, associating it with bad memories. perhaps a doman or frequenter of kugane might remember a little auri girl with white scales and crooked horns that belonged to a prominent family. maybe they were acquainted with her belated owners. either way, such knowledge would definitely be armor-piercing.ORPHANS: in her time in ul'dah, maeka took care of a group of orphan unwittingly, protecting them in exchange for food. while she left some time before the beginning of the main storyline, it wouldn't surprise her if any of those children grew up and remembered her.MAELSTROM: as she finds fighting on the frontlines to be a productive way to burn some steam, she can often be found in the wolves' den ready for a fight. while she does not take her position too seriously, any maelstrom member looking for a higher-up to respond to can usually find someone in her. even if she doesn't outwardly show it, she would be plenty happy to help train any up and coming new adventurers.CLAN: while her clan is supposedly fully gone after the intial fall of the doman kingdom, it wouldn't be surprising if someone at least knew of her lineage. hells, she would be surprised to find someone she's related to.^{for those seeking things a bit more dark, there's always option C.}

if you made it here, you either have particularly dark tastes, or think you wanna give it the good ol' college try. here's where you can find some of my nsfw possibilities.these are, of course, merely ideas or plots i'd be interested in exploring with someone else. you are welcome to suggest things as well!any themes or topics we want to avoid will be discussed personally.^{reminder: my stance on no shipping remains. any interactions that delve into some sort of intimate relationship will never reach romantic on maeka's part. if you find an unrequited love to be an interesting thing to plot out and roleplay, then by all means! i am plenty happy to provide. and once again, i'm not interested in erp without a good build-up.}

sensual
"connections".

THANCRED: her relationship with the snow-haired hyur has always been a rocky one. from the moment they first met in ul'dah, she would never admit it but he changed her life for the better. however, she absolutely refuses to be anything more than an acquaintance, maybe a friend at most. but that doesn't mean she's against taking him to bed now and then. after all, a dragon's got needs, and if he's willing to provide she'll take what she get with no strings attached.
^{the individual being thancred is, of course, negotiable-- it merely aligns with the headcanons of how maeka ended up joining the scions. should you wish to play another scion, or anyone else really with enough justification, i'm willing to hear it out!}MASTER: in her backstory, there was a time when she was kept as a pet for a rich family in kugane. an incident on the sea ended with their untimely deaths that maeka had witnessed, ending with her taken to limsa lominsa where she became a free woman. she knows her masters are dead, she saw it with her very eyes... right? now, what would happen if one of those masters hadn't died? what if one of those oh so loving masters found their way into her life again, and decided they wanted their dear prized pet for their own again?
^{just a bit of a darker line of thought, and one i'd be willing to indulge with the right person. got a particularly sadistic muse that wants to break a warrior of light? well here you go! i of course expect such a storyline to take a dark and VERY NSFW turn. in fact, i would encourage it. any hard limits, kinks, etc. will be discussed beforehand.}CORRUPTION: her values never really aligned with anyone in particular. her skills are easily sold to the highest bidder, or to anyone she deems worthy of her time. such a destructive force of nature would be disastrous if wielded by the wrong person, now wouldn't it?
^{a simple enough premise. i'm always willing to explore bad ends of all sorts.}FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS: while the idea of romance eludes her, and may even disgust her a bit, she is a beast of nature and naturally won't deny herself pleasure.
^{while i, the writer, personally don't like ERPing with every random person that asks, i am more than willing to write some steamy stuff with regular partners!}

various headcanon, lorebending, and information about the little dragon.note that this section may involve spoilers, both for xiv itself and for little twists and turns in maeka's story.as some of this is information not given out freely or that maeka herself may not know, please be mindful of what information is okay to bring up in a roleplay.

Nakaam,
Child of Tiamat

Beginnings.

tiamat and bahamut of the first brood. the two sired many dragons that roam throughout hydaelyn today. the story of nakaam goes back the second astral era, where one of tiamat's children roamed throughout what is known as the far east now, having made that land his territory. he was the sort that sought peace, wanting to know more about the various races that roamed hydaelyn along with dragons.the legends of the tribe say that the dragon seduced a hyur so that he may make use of her to sustain himself, but nakaam was not quite so vicious. it was love that made him forsake his wings and walk among the rest. as he had laid claim to some territory in what is known as doma, early villages that lived there came to revere and respect him. one woman in particular had caught his fancy, as she had come by almost daily to greet him and speak with him, curious about his kind. he in turn asked her many questions about the lives of her people.as she grew older in what felt like the blink of an eye, he decided he would rather not remain in this world with her gone. it wasn't that he had come to hate the rest of the world, but that he had found what he believed to be the one being in all of the realm that he had care for more than anyone. and so he made the decision to cast aside his physical, draconic form, gifting her one of his eyes to give to her village as a reminder of his love for them. he used the abundance of aether in his second eye to create an aetherical construct of himself in a form much closer to hers, a mortal dragon that would be able to walk hand in hand with his beloved.together they were able to sire children of their own, the hybrids of his own pure aether and the flesh and blood of one of hydaelyn's children creating the race of dragonkin that to this day remain named after him. while they share many traits with au ras and cannot take on draconic forms, their aether is reminiscent of dragons themselves. as per nakaam's wishes, many of his tribe chose to remain in the east, and later in what became the doman kingdom, chose to remain as quiet protectors to the land that nakaam had loved so much.

Hydaelyn's
Dragon

a tale of two.

when maeka was born, her parents knew something was different.
perhaps even wrong.even from a young age, the young nakaam dragon was known to have a violent streak. she seemed prone to destruction, if not even loving to destroy anything she could lay her hands on. as her parents, they tried their best to help her contain those desires, and while she learned how to control herself, that bloodthirsty nature always remained within her.when she was taken from her parents during the invasion of doma, she lost the only sources of control she had. her violent nature caused her to lash out at her captors, leading to constant punishments until even her plentiful energy was near depleted. she had to learn for herself to restrain herself only for her safety. letting that fire burn in her made her colder, a bomb ready to explode the second she got the perfect opportunity. her inner dragon seethed more by the day, and she knew she was one slip up away from taking the life of another, even if it meant losing her own in the process. freedom shone at her through the window of her master's bedroom, and she loathed it. she was nothing but the monster they all saw her as, and if she would die that way so be it.the day she awoke to the echo, it all seemed to change.a woman came to her in her dreams. the woman spoke of how her own ice-cold fire would one day burn her alive, and she knew it to be true. but her voice was able to soothe her, make her believe that one day someone would see her for what she was. maybe she was a monster. but monsters can be loved as well. in her dream she knew of a mother's embrace, once she had thought she had long forgotten, and the dragon within her went quiet.when she opened her eyes that morning, her cold heart had begun to melt. she was calm as she was let out of her cage, being told that the masters were going to a place known as 'limsa lominsa', and she was to come with them.her masters died that day, out at sea at the hands of sahagins that held up the ship. the sahagin, seeing her for the monster she was, believed that their lord leviathan would rather they left his kin be. taking her to shore, they told her that should their paths cross again, they would not be so kind, and she took the opportunity for the blessing it was.over the next year, a new pair of horns grew atop her head. slowly, the glow of one of her eyes began to dim. at first, she worried that perhaps she was dying or something of the sort.when the echo awakened within her, hydaelyn blessed her dragon with the gift of balance. to calm the heart of the dragon of destruction, she gave her an equal that would be able to fill in the gaps in her heart, but it would take time for her to learn how to properly live in such a way. to this day she is still prone to her bouts of bloodlust, but in her dire hours of need, there's a voice within her that tells her that even after a raging firestorm, flowers can bloom in the fields left behind.

Tyche,
Former Seat
of
Emmerololth

the first.

tyche was, for lack of a better word, a bit of an oddball. she spoke very little-- some swear they have never heard her voice. but she was very skilled at whatever task she undertook. it was her proficiency with creating medicine from the various plants in elpis that inevitably got her invited into the convocation. while she accepted, she still kept to herself, only speaking as much as needed when the convocation met before inevitably disappearing again. there weren't many that knew how to find the elusive healer, but she always seemed to appear just when she was needed.despite never saying much, in truth tyche was happy about the role she was given. in a society so centered around the betterment of all mankind, she had never once felt as though she was understood, nor that she could understand those around her. taking up the seat of emmerelolth made her feel as though she had a purpose, and while she never showed it outwardly, she was very proud of her position.the day achilles came into her life is the day her entire life changed.somehow, the man always seemed to know where she was, while at first she would not spare him so much as a glance, he would sit patiently with her, watching her tend to the flowers before he was off on another grand adventure. their interactions were brief, but she found herself waiting for when the traveler would come by again.eventually she found out more about him from hythlodaeus, who considered achilles to be a close friend. (hythlodaeus was, at first, rather surprised that tyche would approach him to actually ask about someone, but he also felt relieved that the recluse finally seemed to be making a friend as well.) the next time they met, she offered him a flower, which he accepted with a smile.soon it became clear that if tyche needed to be found, achilles should be the first to ask. soon after that she was seen more and more around the other ancients, even looking them in the eyes when she smiled. it was a nice sight.what wasn't so nice was when she told the convocation she felt she no longer deserved her seat.in all the time she spent with achilles, she came to realize that , while her skills were helping the betterment of society, ultimately it felt empty to her. no longer was there a passion to her work. she would only create more and more to pass the time until achilles came home. there was no more love for her craft. after all, she didn't need it to feel as though she belonged somewhere anymore.while she did still offer advice and council to the new emmerololth, tyche was much happier being able to spend her time to herself without pressure or obligation once again. achilles was still always a wanderer, but she would always wait in their secret garden for his return.
