Veros.
if someone stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do?
A Xaelan Dark Knight living in Ishgard, Veros isn't exactly the type you'd describe as.. friendly. Or approachable. Armed with a resting murder face and usually several knives, she can be a hard one to get to know. Most times if she's talking to someone new, it means someone's bribed her into it. But that usually means there's a heart of gold under there, right?

. . . . .
That dragoon's family was lost. Homeland, eradicated, all in the space of a single night.Strange that the Empire would target an isolated, nonthreatening tribe.If there's any records to show who ordered it, or why ... they're nowhere to be found. All leads trail off into a terrible silence with an empty space where answers should be.Maybe the lack of an answer is one in and of itself.
If she were smart - if she had the self control she used to - she'd run. She'd disappear again, take another name and vanish before any of them had the opportunity to trace her.But she doesn't run.Maybe she could have a life here. Maybe she could build a future, outside of hiding and fearing the truth.....Be quiet, Esteem. We have work to do.
the dragoon.
Unhappy with the nomadic life of the Dalahd tribe on the very outskirts of the Steppe, Dologenqo'a "Dol" pursued her absent father back to Ishgard, but found instead a life of persecution.
Through years of hard work, always putting on a smiling face, always stepping up to help, she finally attained her goal; becoming a member of the Knights Dragoon.
She fought valiantly at the final confrontation at the Steps of Faith, but was critically injured, suffering severe damage to her memories and personality.
She never found her answers.
the dark knight.
Dark Knights serve the weak, the defenseless, the outcast. Their hearts are full of love, and that is their strength. Her love is for Garleans.
The Voiler answers few questions. Her rules are simple. Don't speak Garlean, don't draw attention, and follow her instructions.
And once they part ways, forget she existed.
Odd for a Xaela to show pity or sympathy to Garleans. Even more strange that in the brief moments she does speak their native tongue, she speaks in the cadence of a noble. But one supposes it's a bad idea to look their gift rescuer in the mouth.

about me.
I'm Veros - I started playing FFXIV in June 2023 and went spiralling down the hole of RP and gposing entirely too fast to keep my sanity.I'm new to RP but I've been writing - professionally, academically, and personally - for many years and have also worked as an editor and tutor.Good communication is a must, but also I like being friends with my RP partners. Let's go run content or yell about characters too!My IRL job means that sometimes I will just get called away at random and there's nothing I can do about it. I promise I'll try and schedule RP with this in mind as much as possible, but IRL always takes priority.Aside from FFXIV, I play a ton of other games with wildly varying genres. I enjoy horror and SCP content, and will talk about avation nonstop.
