Hi! You can call me Angel or Saphyr.
I've been playing FFXIV since right before Stormblood released but have only been RPing in the game since about Q4 2022.
I enjoy counted cross-stitch, anime, collecting dead things preserved in jars, and menacing my menace of a cat, Taika.I also started learning German in Sept 2025.
Ich lerne langsam, aber ich genieße es trotzdem!Click the links below to navigate the site.

  RP EXPERIENCE   
I have extensive roleplaying experience going back over 15+ years. It started with passing around notebooks with friends in high school. (It was very much an analog play-by-post.) Spent the better part of five years on a public Neverwinter Nights 2 server called "Dalelands Beyond". If you ever met Maura Zephyros (Aasimar cleric/fighter) or Felyn'shura Helv'urden (Drow rogue), that was me! Outside of that, most of my RP experience was and is with in-person and online TTRPG's (e.g. DnD/Pathfinder, World of Darkness, Star Wars, etc.).I have experience using various RP safety tools, including the Luxton Technique. Whether the RP is sexual or not, the stoplight system and safewords can apply. We are all here to have a good time, not hurt each other.  WRITING STYLE   
3rd person. The length of my posts can vary depending on many factors, including the amount of dialogue, the number of characters involved in the scene, or how cooperative my ADHD brain wants to be with me that day.
Please, keep OOC chatter to /tell or Discord DMs if we are RPing. I open-RP in both /say and /em.
For private RP, I use /party.
If you're working on a multi-part post, I strongly prefer if you use >>> or some other indicator at the end of your writing to indicate you're not done typing.
When an OC speaks in a language other than Eorzean Common, I will contain the dialogue between < > brackets.

  ARRANGING RP   
I have a preference for writing in Discord but am not opposed to scheduling in-game. That said, I am more comfortable writing in-game with a new writer the first few times.  ADVISORIES & DISCLAIMERS   
I much prefer to have long-term or deeper RP with players 21+ years old. I fall into sexual and other mature or dark themes easily as that's what I find engaging and interesting in the long term. As such, I do not feel comfortable exploring such topics with anyone that does not already have a few years of adulthood under them.Lalafell characters will only be engaged in a SFW/non-sexual manner.I expect a healthy separation between IC and OOC. I am not my character and you are not your character. e.g. If our characters sever their relationship, do not take it personally. (It's a bummer, sure, but I've dealt with players treating an IC break-up like an OOC break-up and I have little tolerance for those who cannot respect this line.)
I am a platonically flirty person, please do not assume OOC romantic attraction or intention (there is no harm in asking if you want clarification). If I ever make you uncomfortable, please let me know.Communicate. Communicate. COMMUNICATE. Please, never hesitate to discuss ideas or concerns with me.

  🔞 MATURE RP 🔞  
I am willing to explore and try many things in RP. Erotic, Dark, Mature, and related themes are all potentially on the table. Depending on how well-acquainted and comfortable we are with each other OOC (i.e. the level of trust we have fostered), we may need to have a more extensive discussion before proceeding with a particular scene or exploring certain topics.I will not engage in this sort of RP with any writer or character under the age of 18 (but preferably not under 21).As always, the separation between IC and OOC is paramount, especially with mature RP.

  BIOGRAPHY    A noble-born knight of only twenty summers when the Imperials invaded Bozja, Kaja watched as her elder sister cowed to their oppressors. In an effort to protect her subjects from the worst of their treatment, the Liege Lady of House Verka swallowed her pride to toe the line between keeping favor with her Imperial masters and not falling completely under their boot. Kaja stood ever at her side, loyal and supportive to the end.But it was all for naught. One moment of betrayal by someone they trusted undid everything. Kaja watched as her sister was publicly executed by Garlean hands, too late to intervene.Ten years later, with her family all dead and the war for freedom won, Kaja left the warm, green climes of her homeland for the frigid, grey skies of Ishgard. The ways of old, of knights and queens, was coming to an end. The new Bozja was no place for this stalwart knight and she knew how to be nothing else.
