Avianne Thodis

Oddities/Trinket Merchant || Adventure's Guild Contact || Magic Artificer || Alchemist
---------------------------"All things considered, sitting in the early morning sun of a forest with a steaming cup of tea in my hands is the third most peaceful thing I know."

As you scan the crowd a cascade of lustrous black hair and brilliant green eyes peering at you from a bench catches your eye. At first glance, the elezen woman appears like many others there that day in the bustle of the city. A simple white blouse covered with a worn but well-cared for leather jacket in tones of brown wraps her form, and an earthy green skirt covers her lower half to the ankles. Around her waist is a set of sturdy-looking leather pouches. You see no obvious weapons about her person and her expression seems to be open, warm, and approachable.
Catching your eye she quickly looks down to a book in her lap, but you see the shadow of a smile on her lips. A flush at the tips of her pointed ears and about her cheeks highlighting the faint freckles splashed across her nose. She knows she was caught staring.Let's discover together in RP!

For the Aether Sensitive
Avianne keeps tight control of her aetheric abilities and how much aetheric influence she pushes against the world around her when she's not actively casting. For those who are particularly sensitive, they would feel a gentle manipulation of aether close about her person, interacting with the energies of the world with something like curiosity. A warm summer breeze, gentle and unintrusive. Some might call it calming, a friend holding your hand.

Hooks

Always open to other ideas if something isn't listed but you wanna try! Just message me, I promise I am going to be open to most anything.

Known Oddities Merchant
(Common)If you're looking for something unique, aetheric, or mundane, The Bluebell Shop may have something you're looking for; from trinkets and gifts to charms and aetheric binding or identification services. Custom-made items for your character's story progression or as rewards for contracts are always available!

Black Destrier Chocobo
(Common)Whenever Avianne travels she is accompanied by a rather large black destrier chocobo. This bird has fine, thick feathers, a lustrous beak and talons, and a sparkling gaze that can just as easily convey deadly intent as it can gentle curiosity.
To a trained eye it seems an odd breed of chocobo for a Gridania native.

Adventure's Guild Contact
(Common)
Thodis is a common name among the Adventure's Guilds in all major cities across Aldenard and Vylbrand.Additional Contracts
(Unommon)
Sometimes the name Thodis is circulated among mercenary and bounty hunter circles for jobs that require discretion.

Natural and Discrete Healer
(Uncommon)Though her Aetheric Blanace isn't fitting for magical healing she is skilled in more natural remedies. Alchemy and Apothecary work that utilize the aether and natural properties in plants, elements, common sense, and care.She's also known by some to be exceptionally discrete when dealing with injuries of.... questionable origin.

Pickpockets, Thieves & Rivals
(Happy to Talk)A chance encounter in the markets leaving her bereft of gil? A raid on her magic shop/home? A well-timed ambush on the road for the contents of her wagon? A threat from a rival in the form of a mercenary's message or aggression? Being a merchant in Eorzea has risks!A world of danger awaits those who try to make a living in such a way. Perhaps you're just down on your luck, perhaps you're targeting her for something specific? Will a strange friendship bloom, or a bitter rivalry?

Missing Person
(Happy to Talk)In Foundation and the Pillars, even among the towns of Coerthas near the towering city of Ishgard one can find posters of someone who looks similar to Avianne claiming her as a missing person. At the bottom of each poster are listed her basic details as well as the following message:"Heavy rewards of gil and exclusive services with renowned merchants and crafters will follow leads that result in the true identification of Avianne, or her escort to House Vorard's estate."

Rules of Thumb

RP is an interactive and shared exercise in story creationCommunication- Respect me and I will respect you. I expect clear and open communication with anyone that I write with.Story Consequences- Realism within a setting is important to me. Guards, wounds, mistakes, time, weather, fate, consequences for actions- all of it. As characters interact with the world they should be changing. Opinions should shift over time, world views should alter, and mental, physical, and emotional stress should take a toll.21+- I'm an adult and prefer mature RPers who can handle the nuance of mature storylines that may not have black-and-white answers, sensitive or complex themes, and adult content- Dark, horror, chemical abuse, and violence.
HOWEVER- I am happy to RP with younger writers (teen through 21) and with Newer RPers. Say hi! I don't bite.All Stories- All literary and story-telling themes are welcome and encouraged. From slice-of-life to combat, horror to romance. Any character interaction is usually good and I accept most things regarding an RP scene.Forever DM- I have run story campaigns for 10 years, write fiction in my spare time- have since I was very young, and love small or significant character development.
I'm happy to organize something or push your character in a specific direction!Your Character- I usually will prioritize your character's themes and ideas to give you the spotlight. I love merchant, mercenary, crafter, and bounty hunter RP.
Become the Quest-Giver you always wanted to be! If you don't I'll be your quest-giver!Lore Abiding- We're all here because we like the setting. Some bending and interpretation is acceptable/inevitable but there's no need to add things or be things that are wildly incongruent with the setting or the context of the RP Story.
