Elysium Asphodelus

☆ ENIGMATIC ☆ DEMURE ☆ WISTFUL ☆

Escort | Host | Manager

Vague and enigmatic may be some of the first words to describe the mysteries of the cosmos, a tangle of threads and theory, some of which may very well be incorrect.Elysium is one such mystery - a pair of souls intertwined so deeply that they cohabitate the same vessel. One more serious, another soft and demure. Both have an intrigue with the stars, and threads of fate - especially those that connect people.With a touch of stardust, this shooting star strives to make the wishes of all who cross their path come true - whether that spells out fun or certain doom.

Roleplay Sample

Their eyes widen at his remark, but they manage to keep their composure, if only for the briefest of moments. "Not all of them, no..." they whisper, lifting their leg to brandish the dim, sparkling freckles that decorate their body. "And there's more yet you have not seen..." They trail off, wistfully staring at him. "You have this aura about you, you know...? Calming? Like a garden of wisteria. One could sleep there and take in the scent for hours on end.""Mayhaps, we can get you a star chart to map our stars, and us a botanical guide, to identify all the flowers in your aether."

Roleplay Sample

Lifting their head to the haze of the room, their eyes narrow ever-so-slightly. They gently rebandage their right hand. Their facial expression is quite warm. Piercing right through the other, their gaze seems to follow their companion’s, watching for any change in body language.“How do you feel? Any relief? I would hate to end this session on a note that is unsatisfactory,” they ask, gently. “I know it is quite difficult to process, all of this. Take as much time as you need.”The gleaming of their left palm seems to dim as it fades from view.

Enkh Tuya

☆ COQUETTISH ☆ ELEGANT ☆ CLASSY ☆

Escort | Host | Greeter | Manager

A doll-like Xaela with an eloquent way of speaking, Enkh easily captivates and intrigues a room with their pretty, yet dead eyes and their monotone, yet pleasant manner of speaking. The doll enjoys the finer things in life and will easily fill a silence with the knowledge they've gathered throughout the cycles. Can they interest you in telling you about different teas and what they do for the body and mind? Have you an interest in machinery or dolls? Maybe you'd like to discuss your favorite flowers and what they mean? They are eccentric and marvelous, equally as mysterious. Every movement is elegant and deliberate, almost too perfect.Wouldn't you like to get to know them? They want to know your heart, too.

Roleplay Sample

"Do you know what a camellia means in the language of flowers?" The Doll holds out their hands, palms upturned. Their tail begins to sway and wave this way and that, as though it were a snake slithering along the ground despite never touching it. "Many red flowers mean things like 'love,' and the red camellia is no different, though other meanings also come to mind. Devotion, persisting gracefully, and even passion."There is no note of enthusiasm in their voice, though one could easily glean that the little thing is particularly passionate about this very subject. Their hands move to join together in front of them, though one curls into a fist. The other flexes its fingers and rests, palm upturned, atop the fist. "But there is one more thing that a red camellia means to those that fight and take up swords in the Far East."Now, there's something that sparks in that monotone voice of theirs. A subtle show of amusement that lilts at the end of each sentence. "When it wilts, it's petals do not fall one by one." The upturned palm tips to the side and falls off of the fist — likely indicating the 'head' of the flower falling off of the stem. "It beheads itself and dies, so a red camellia has come to symbolize a beautiful or noble death."Both hands slowly come to rest at their sides now. Empty verdant hues stare up at their company, blinking slowly. There's no amusement on their face, but oh, can't you feel that they're having fun?"What is a noble death to you?"

A tart, sparkling black cherry juice is mixed in with rum to give it a fruity flavor. Garnished with sugar around the rim of the glass and rose petals are made to float in the center. The drink even comes with cherries so that you can dip them in if you like. This drink is the second sweetest thing on the menu this side of Wonderland — the first being Enkh, of course!

Emile Rochefort

☆ ANTAGONISTIC ☆ NARCISSISTIC ☆ EGOISTIC ☆

Escort

Emile Rochefort is a very outgoing and eccentric lad who operates entirely on whimsy. He's a bit of a brat and entirely selfish. He finds himself innately drawn to whatever catches his eye and he will stop at absolutely nothing to have or obtain it. He's a bit of a drama-lover, having been the center of a few rumors. If you're savvy with Ishgardian noble gossip, perhaps you might have heard of the estranged Rochefort heir being the only one left of his family to inherit the wealth?Who doesn't love a little bit of danger?

Roleplay Sample

“Play me something. Because I said you will.”Emile steps forward and over to him, moving to grab at his wrist without asking. “Here, we can even go somewhere a little quieter, if you want. You’d like that, wouldn’t you?” A tug on his arm. “Play me a song or else, okay?” The bat nestled atop the lordling’s head squeaks gently and crawls to the tip of his head before taking off, fluttering over to hang upside down from the nearby lamppost for now.“C'mon. Bad things are gonna happen if you let me stay bored for too long.”

Xahlo (Fallen Acolyte)

☆ DEMANDING ☆ MOTHERLY ☆ OVER-CONFIDENT ☆

Escort | Host

Xahlo is a cold woman — but warm where it matters. As a refined scholar of notable magical skill, she does walk the walk to match how she really, truly, talks the talk. Perhaps one is charmed by a powerful woman – or perhaps they’re delighted to find the cracks and knock her down a peg.She’ll have plenty to say regardless, because while the single mother may carry an air of indifference – everyone gets a little lonely, don’t they? Maybe she’ll make your night, or maybe you’ll make hers.

Roleplay Sample

Across from you she sits with leg crossed over leg, the most bored expression one might ever fathom on her features. You talk on whatever subject took your fancy and each word seems to slip past her like she’s dying for you to finish. Though when you trail off you don’t find dismissal, but a grin baring her Keeper fangs.“As fascinating as that all is, darling,” she smirks before taking a long sip of her cocktail, setting it aside that she might lean in. “I’m much more interested in the other sounds you can make. What, you don’t catch my meaning? How cute...~”With a tug at your belt, she bids you to follow. “I’ll just have to show you.”

Vilis / Viviane

☆ Conflicted ☆ Educated ☆ Dual-natured ☆

Bartender | Escort | Host

A top Sharlayan student in the subjects of Astromancy and the Lifestream, Viviane has grown into a far different person than the ambitious graduate one might remember. Recently adopting the name Vilis as well, it’s capricious in its desire for company. But catch it on a lonely day and perhaps you might find a divination of cards in your future— or perhaps some more private affairs?

Roleplay Sample

A few steps click up behind you as you sit and browse the menu, pale blonde hair draping over your view. Claw-like nails come to gently push the menu aside and demand your attention up— to a creature with dark eyes and darker dress. “You’ve been looking that over for a while now. Having trouble deciding?”With a soft hum, it lightly drags its claw over the drinks until it simply trails off. “These are all boring. How about I mix you something special? Just, one thing— you have to come keep me company while I make it. Sound good?” A slight smile as it takes your hand. “Good. This way.”

Mood Swing

A shimmery blackberry-infused vodka mixed with apple juice, brandy, and lemon juice shaken with ice and then given a few drops of grenadine, this sweet mix makes for a lovely drink on its own— but on its garnish sits a skewer of blackberries. While it may seem a simple fruity treat, there’s a 50/50 they’ll either be extremely sweet or tongue-achingly sour!

Nayan Ura

☆ CLOWN ☆ WHIMSICAL ☆ ANCIENT ☆

Bartender | Host | Escort | Greeter | Manager

A curious dragon from the Burn who only recently woke up from a centuries long slumber. Nayan loves to interact with mortals and get them to try his frozen drinks and test out new magic tricks for them. He prefers to listen to stories, but get enough drinks in him and he will happily trade you a few about decades past!

Roleplay Sample

The blank eyed Dragon sat behind the bar, watching as the person across from them took a seat. Before he could even greet them, they spat out an order. Nayan's lazy smile turned into a sharp frown. "Now now, /child/. Try that again, with /manners/." He waited, arms folded, as he stared down the guest in the stool right in front of him. Once the now embarrassed patron mumbled out an apology, he clapped his hands together. "Very good, see wasn't that better?" He smiled, sharp teeth on full display as he reached for a glass. The Dragon grabbed a blue bottle and flipped it to the side, so it pours slowly, freezing the bottom slightly to stick it to the wall as it pours slowly into the glass below. Next he added some black liquid, some glitter, and the splash in the sour grapes. Then he froze the top of the bottle of blueberry juice to stop the pour and circled his hand around the glass, leaving a trail of spun sugar.

• Website

Escort | Host | Greeter| Manager

Pomegranate is a long-time resident of Ul'dah's underworld, having previously worked as both an escort and a mercenary. He received a large inheritance after his adoptive parent's mysterious death, which he uses mostly to indulge his expensive tastes as he likes while prioritizing only work that interests him. His great pride in his eccentricities and love for classy company eventually led him to The Cabaret Grand, which he now considers a second home.

Roleplay Sample

Pomegranate approaches the table with a smile, too-sharp teeth peeking out from between his lips. He brings his hands together - clawed and dripping with dark ichor - as he leans forward, gaze flitting between the guests before him."Welcome to the Cabaret Grand; our home away from home. It would be my pleasure to serve you tonight. May I start you off with a round of drinks? Or are you looking for something sweeter, perhaps?"

Guiding Star (Nana)

☆ STARRY-EYED ☆ HOPEFUL ☆ DEVOTED ☆

Host | Escort | Greeter

A wandering astrologer/matchmaker devoted to Menphina. Originally from Hingashi but raised in the Shroud, she hops to and fro, bringing the moon's blessings to all those who seek love.

Roleplay Sample

A star touches down in the Gold Court. With soft footsteps and the jingle-jangle of gold adornments, she carries herself towards the benches lining the fountain. Before taking her seat, her hands move to sweep any dust and dirt off the surface, and once she settles, she immediately sets to rifling through her belongings, kept in a small satchel at her side.After a few moments of shuffling, sorting between knickknacks and star charts, she produces a deck of cards, and an easy smile paints itself across her features. The satchel is returned to its rightful place, and the cards are spread carefully about the empty space remaining on the stone bench. She hums a slow, gentle tune as she shuffles them, occasionally stopping to admire one for a few moments.Lop ears twitch, however, shifting towards nearby noises when a new set of footfalls approach. Golden eyes shine as she tilts her head slightly to observe her visitor... then, a hand raises in a wave before beckoning them close."Good evening! Would you like to sit with me?"

Alistair Ravenwood

☆ MANIC ☆ INSATIABLE ☆ DEPRAVED ☆

Escort | Host | Greeter | Bartender

With skin as white as a sheet, and eyes that shine brightly with menacing, blood red hunger, the inhuman nature of Alistair's existence is plain to see at a mere glance. Not that he goes to great pains to conceal it; despite his monstrous appearance, Alistair is every bit the cheerful, peppy boy that he was in life, wearing his heart on his sleeve and 'living' without a care in the world. He'll speak openly about his vampiric nature if pressed, even describing the (slightly embarrassing) nature in which he was turned.If one were to get to know him, they might find themselves unknowingly charmed by his sweet, ditzy persona, and begin to relax, letting their guard down. And if, along the way, they were tempted to let him feed, Alistair would only be too happy to take advantage. After all, he so rarely gets to eat anymore, and spends so much of his time half-starved. He'd be so very thankful for a taste, he'd surely go to great lengths to express his gratitude, tending to his companion's every desire without question, and doing everything in his power to ensure their comfort.After all, for a taste of blood, there's almost nothing that Alistair wouldn't do...

Roleplay Sample

"Heya! I'm finally back! Haha! Miss me?" he asked playfully, setting the elaborate cocktail down on the table within your reach. "Sorry it took so long! There was this huge crowd, and, well...there's just so many drinks to remember! I might've got a tiny bit confused..." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, chuckling weakly through his wide, if wavering, smile. His little grin vanished, however, when he was asked a quite reasonable question, replaced with a well-rehearsed wide eyed look of disbelief, staring at you in confusion."Oh...where's my drink?" he asked, giggling to himself and shrugging. "Uhh...well, y'see, they don't really like me to drink at work. Least, not the kind of drinking that I do...you know what I mean, right?" he asked coyly, kicking his legs against his seat, his lips slowly curling into a small, triumphant smirk. Though he tries on the surface to divert and change the subject, somehow, the topic never changes, perhaps driven by your morbid curiosity...or by the fact that Alistair kept inching closer, little by little, his actions clearly not in tune with his words. Finally seated right beside you, he licks his lips, his pair of razor sharp fangs only now visible poking out from under his ebony stained lips, as he moves to brush the hair away from your neck."Hehe~ Well, I'm sure one bite wouldn't hurt..."

Koji Trechend

☆ MISCHEVIOUS ☆ ATHLETIC ☆ PERSONABLE ☆

Host | Escort | Bartender | Greeter

Confident and flirtatious, this veena stands at seven fulms tall. Impressive for his kind perhaps there is a reason for this man's unique attributes? There's only way to find out, perhaps it lies behind the mask.

Roleplay Sample

Perhaps you'd need an introduction? Such a man as Koji would provide it, the golden eyes which catch the light peer over a muzzled visage. He offers his hand to take, to kiss or to shake? That would certainly be up to you. The open shirt the veena wears, invites you to see the valley of the gods but only after he has leant in close to gently brush against an ear. Under hushed tones, you hear him clearly regardless of the mask, the man speaks to you with a low bassy rumble to his voice.
"You seem thirsty, perhaps I can get you something."

Salvia Wolt

☆ AFFECTIONATE ☆ EMOTIONAL ☆ THOUGHTFUL ☆

Host | Escort | Greeter

Wanderlust-fueled, hopeless romantic. These are the biggest descriptors when it comes to Salvia. Having left their home as a young adult, they've been around the block many times. And though not naive, he is very optimistic. He'd rather give others a chance than brush them off immediately. This has led him to heartbreak after heartbreak, though he manages to persist in spite of it.

Roleplay Sample

Salvia approaches with an easy smile, eyes crinkled at the corners. He sits across from you, brushing non-existent dust from his skirt. He's trying--perhaps failing--to act casual. Not helped by their twitching ears. They're looking for the right words."You look like you could use company," he says, "Considering you've been here on your own." They lean against the table on their elbows. "I can leave if you want, but..." He tilts his head to the side. "How have you been, friend? Anything I could do to ease your troubled mind?"

Following the fall of Garlemald and its newly forged alliance with Eorzea, Nikita was released from her confinement.Now she seeks a life of normalcy - a means to live without being subjected to the hells that once caged her.

She couldn't help but adore just how flustered they appeared to be.One of Nikita's hands slid underneath her companion's, gently taking their hand in her grasp. As she gently held their hand, she intertwined her fingers with theirs. Her free hand rose to slither its way around her partner's neck, resting itself atop their head. Slowly and carefully, she pulled their head to rest in the crook of her neck.Sifting her fingers through their hair, Nikita whispered softly. "Bask in my presence for as long as you'd like."

Escort | Host | Bartender

Her favored topics are those in the natural sciences, philosophy, and psychology.But be warned, despite her well-educated manner of speech, this refined tomboy holds a bratty side. She does love to tease those she seems lesser than, and if you tease her back? Well you may be rewarded with a rare view of her less refined reactions. Her temper is hot, and her words scathing.

Roleplay Sample

Erin uncorks a bottle of wine, swirling the vessel while staring off at the distance, her mind far off in a train of thought.“You know, it takes a approximately four-hundred to five-hundred grapes to make a single bottle of wine, each little fruit compacted and squeezed beyond their limit to later age and ferment into this mind-altering substance.” She smiles and looks down towards her partner. Erin’s barbed tail flicks with keen interest, and gloved hand pours a drink.“All this work for such a debaucherous drink. All this work in order to allow us to let loose.” Her bright green eyes sparkle in the dim lights, and she takes a long sip."

It took her years to finally be free from the underground, but when she turned eighteen she was finally free. Now what though? She doesn't have any skills other than fighting...

She bit her lip slightly taking sight of you, playing slightly with her lip ring. "I don't have to warn you do I?" A light giggle as she walks up towards you, placing a small scaled hand on your chest. "That once you spend time with me, you will just want more and more."
A smirk as she pushes you to the ground, lightly pressing her foot on your chest now. As she leans over you, a somber smile on her face. "Well then dear, why not tell me your true desires for the evening? Let me fulfill your wildest fantasies."

Misa Lyubasch

☆ STRAIGHTFORWARD ☆ ARTISTIC ☆ BIG-HEARTED ☆

Escort | Host | Bard

A native hailing from the far off Golmore Jungle, Misa has always been a bit of a fish out of water. During his customary years with the Wood Warders, Misa preferred to spend his time making music, napping, and befriending woodland creatures. Eventually, he made the decision to shed his woodland name and leave the jungle to seek friendship and adventure. His wanderings brought to him to many places, from the ports of Thavnair, to war-torn Bozja, across the arid wastes of The Burn, till he finally made his way westward to Eorzea, seeking fame and fortune through song.Though he may appear a little dim-witted, Misa is a bard with a heart of gold and a tongue of silver. Eager to please, he'd love nothing more than to whisk you away, whether it be with a song or in his arms.

Roleplay Sample

Oh, how the hairs on his neck stand to attention and how his skin tingles when you touch him. Misa visibly quakes in his boots--the excitement that touch gives him is not to be taken lightly. His heart pounds like a bird rattling up against its cage and his throat feels so oddly dry. He absentmindedly wets his lips whilst looking you over with a curious look in his mossy green hues. "Ha! You flatter me. I'm nothing more than your average lackadaisical minstrel!"Even though there is a multitude of proverbial butterflies in his stomach, Misa is wont to back down from a chance with you. He is quick and he scoops up your hand up to lay a kiss upon it, voice filled with a low, salacious hum. Your eyes lock and Misa gazes upon you with a certain 'come hither' hunger. As the kiss fades, his lips remain, a ghost of passion your skin. "Hmm, looks like I got the first taste there, kærasti."

Morgan LeFae

Escort | Host

Heroic at heart and never wavering in the face of difficulty, Morgan Lefae strives to be the best kind of individual he can be whilst staying true to the heart of being a host and escort. That is, taking pride in what he can do for others whether it be lending a helpful ear, offering advice through difficult times, or simply being there when needed the most. Quick to strike up a conversation and even quicker to create new friends and relationships, his charm and charisma are a deadly combination that leave most wanting to know a bit more about the rabbit behind the patch. Just, ah, watch the compliments. As good as he is at dishing them out, taking them back is a difficulty for him.

Roleplay Sample

" You.. want to hear about myself? Well.. where would I start.. "An inquisitive look quickly formed on the Viera's face, an expression of confusion and curiosity. For such a straight forward question, it was amazing how little he had to read off of himself in the moment. For him, he had been so adaptable to mentally writing down every bit of information about the people around him. Every key note a delightful insight to their person, and every fact about them a treasured memory. To him, each person served as another index, a life story in such an expansive world that he found interest in, wanting to discover more about those around him.Yet, his was a book he knew all too well. Every passage, every note, every iota of information about himself was such commonplace knowledge for him.. that the magic of talking about himself would sometimes fall off. In all seriousness, his own ability to talk about himself was.. lackluster. It was like having the same meal every day. The same routine. To him, because he understood himself so well to that point, the notion of trying to find anything 'interesting' to talk about was a challenge. If he didn't find his life outside of his work that interesting.. would it be to others?Thinking about it for a moment, a laugh escaped his lips, His expression softening with his one good eye shut tight as he continued to give it legitimate thought, trying to create some kind of image to start off with. But embarrassed as he was to even recount the story of his life, the first chapter of it was a bit mixed up in the middle. No good starting point, no good way to branch off of it.. goodness, he hated being put on the spot like this. An idle finger of his scratched his cheek as he gave it just a bit more thought, his lips finally parting to speak." Well.. for starters, I do thoroughly love my time here at The Grand. Nothing provides me with more pride than being able to work for both the venue and the customers at hand. It might sound a bit.. normal? I suppose, to have such pride in one's own work.. and yet my heart swells whenever I'm able to accomplish what I set out to do. That is, to create a night of memory and excitement for those who walk through these doors. B-But in all seriousness, I would honestly like to hear more about yourself. "

Fay Thorne

Bartender | Host | Escort

Oh, what enchanting creature stands in front of you? All pale fluffy curls and a simply enormous tail, low-lidded lavender eyes watching you from beneath long lashes with a dreamy regard. Perhaps you spot them perched upon a chair arm, perhaps from behind the bar mixing a drink, a dancing whorl of pastel hues. Just as sprightly as their name, Fay loves nothing more than excellent company and a night to match. All sweets and spice (and maybe a few things that aren't quite so nice), Fay is an impish treasure of delight. Nor are they a creature of mere decoration only, quite skilled with all things aether - as a sharp eye might notice from the motley of enchantments woven into everything from their clothes to their hair, head to toe. Be warned, this Spoken has a voracious appetite for all things lovely!After all, how could they ever be satisfied with mere crumbs?

Roleplay Sample

You can feel bright amethyst eyes before they're upon you, winding around to stand before you, offering the drink clutched in their hand. "Would you like a taste?" they suggest, though do not insist if you refuse. After all, the more for them! Pawed feet step soft, winding paths about you in a near-dance of graceful, white-marked limbs. They smell of roses and spices, the faint tang of aether in the air and about their person. Grey skin is flush with excitement and eyes alight with interest, focusing all of their attention upon you while they drum delicate fingertips along the side of their glass. "I've never seen you before," almost cooed as they find a free bit of space beside you - whether it be atop a chair, a railing or even a balcony, unabashed and unafraid. Legs sway from their perch, decorated with ribbons and baubles to show off their lithe length.Their head tips toward you with a sway of curls and they lean in to whisper with a pleased titter in their lilting voice, "And I'd love ever-so-much to get to know you better."

Darcy Vadhel

• Website

Bartender | Host | Escort

What a strange creature here, with brilliant golden eyes and black tattoos wrapping dusky skin, an oversized fluff of a tail and enormous ears with curling fur to suit equally-curly hair. An expert of the bottle - drinks and potions alike - with quite the formidable knowledge for their own, specially-made illicit goods, woven from botanicals and magic alike. Aether hangs heavy on their lithe person, dances along their fingers, weaves through the very air when they're about. Who's to know what other aetherical wonders Darcy may capable of, what other magical means lie at their fingertips. All you need to do is ask and they will be happy to provide some manner of example. Tread carefully, sometimes those claws are not just for show and they can be a most wicked Spoken indeed. If you wish to know even more, why not spirit them aside for murmurs and whatever else catches your fancy?Just make sure you're prepared for what a greedy creature they can be.

Roleplay Sample

The first thing you see is the twitch of enormous dark ears - festooned with piercings and decor - and then the creature is upon you with a purring, "Good eve," sidling up alongside your chair to perch upon the arm of the next nearest one. Their tail and tumbles of fabric fall in a graceful heap to the floor, propping their head upon their palm as they study you with a gaze rich and luxurious as honey, near-devouring all they see. "Lovely meeting you. Being as finest of nights, can imagine would be needing wonderful drink to enjoy it better, mm?" With a wiggle of long, heavily beringed fingers and the flash of painted claws in your general direction, they lean in with another purr humming in their throat. Their lilting voice has a slightly off-kilter speech pattern, as if one night they slept too long and it slipped their mind ever since. A scent hangs in the air about them, of amber, herbs and the tang of lightning after a strike.There's a lash of their tail back and forth to steady themselves as they near your ear to whisper, "Shall I be fetching drinks for us? Mayhap more? If would be enjoyed, can be showing you the dark sides of stars."

Anathema

A delightfully heady kick of tequila and orange liqueur is the main power behind this reddish-violet, glittering cocktail. Made with a helping of cranberry and other tart juices, there's a muddling of raspberries and blackberries within as well.

Loralai Saris

☆ ADVENTUROUS ☆ SWEET ☆ CLEVER ☆

Escort | Host | Bartender | Greeter

The world is a fun house to this bubbly woman, and she is more than happy to let people inside.

Roleplay Sample

She stared across the bar with a sleepy half smile on her face. She watched as the lights danced in the dim light, reminding her of dusk. She swayed back and forth to the soft music that played in the bar, a band that she had never heard playing a sweet nostalgic song. Her eyes slid over to the stranger across the way. Her smile grew wider, sensing something new to see, as she hopped off the stool and strode her way over."Hello there, darling. Can I buy you a drink?"

Shizir is an exuberant wanderer from the Steppe with the heart of a lion...and the brains of a scarecrow. After casting aside her life among the Xaela tribes, she travels the realm and the high seas in search of adventure and good company. What she lacks in book smarts is more than made up for by her sincere desire to help those in need and a sunny disposition that could rival Azeyma's radiance.Want someone to cheer you on while arm-wrestling at the bar or confessing to a crush?

Roleplay Sample

A Xaela woman perches on the edge of her bar stool, her gaze entranced by the vivid and colorful floral arrangement behind the counter—before she turns to you with a gleam of enthusiasm and curiosity. "Ooh, a new face! How about ya sit here and share a drink?" She gestures to the empty seat besides her with a casual wave of her hand. Upon approaching her, the most striking feature upon her face is the crimson decorative makeup encircling her eyes. Its pattern almost resembles that of a Doman kabuki mask, complementing her deep purple scales and vivid gold eyes.After taking a gulp of the shotglass in her hand, she lets out a blissful sigh of refreshment. "Tha's better! Shizir's the name, adventuring's the game. Maybe you're seeking a different kind of 'venturing for tonight, though, hmm?" Shizir chuckles. The warm golden jewelry across her neck and belt jingles as she leans forward, bright as stars against her dusk-violet skin."I can be your partner in crime for the right price," she says with a mischievous grin.

Roleplay Sample

A shadow is the first aspect to presage a presence, and the next is the swish of fine robes. Golden eyes peer down in resplendent grace, and a smile forms even as a bow is offered. "Forgive me the impertinence, dearest guest, but towards such radiance I could not help but be drawn." Robes of finest quality cut a figure straight from a woodblock-cutting of heroism and bravery, of the finest warrior-sages of an age long past.A gesture to the side, still half bowed. "Please, name your desire. A drink? Attention, perhaps, for a masterwork deserves to be witnessed in its glory does it not?"The briefest of pauses to ascertain a desire - and then she is slipping onto the seat aside, a soft clap of joy following. ""I am overjoyed to hear it, honoured guest. Come, come! We should play a game or two, should we not? Though of course, since I am here gazing upon you, I think I have already won."

Gandy Raconteur

☆ PROFESSIONAL ☆ TIMELESS ☆ CHEEKY ☆

Escort | Host

From street corners to management and back again; a cheeky Elezen likely to dismiss himself as 'just another airhead trick,' Gandy is - while that too - a kind soul with a love of meeting interesting people. He's worked the streets a long time, and sees himself as a bit of an old-fashioned flavor at most modern clubs, but with all that time comes experience, patience, and professionalism befitting a Pearl of the Lane. He's always willing to share stories about his life - an ordained priest and sex worker isn't a particularly common combination, he knows - but his true interest lies in listening, drawing men to open up to him in the bedroom and out.

Roleplay Sample

Gandy click-clicks his way across the floor to his vanity, rummaging about for his small stock of alcoholic beverages. It's nothing obscene, but he keeps a few bottles in here just in case; he reaches for something old as hell, red as requested. "I've something from Thavnair -- my mother swears by it in fact, and I've not had cause to open it yet. Let's see what the fuss is about, hm?" When he reemerges, he's sans coat, carrying two wine glasses upside down between his long fingers, just in case they want to be cute and use them. He sighs, looking fondly over to the other man as he sits, settling in at his side."It's so sweet that you ask about her," he murmurs. Perhaps his illustrious work doesn't allow for him to be so personal, typically. "But yes, I have quite a bit of gossip - let's trade, shall we? I want to hear about where you've been keeping yourself too, make sure you're keeping well."

Vasya Makarovich

☆ INTELLECTUAL ☆ CURIOUS ☆ PRIDEFUL ☆

Escort | Host | Greeter

The pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds. Hailing from Sharlyan, Vasya seems to have poked around in just about every academic discipline accessible to him- and perhaps a few better left alone. Having grown tired of the rules and regulations of academia, he’s developed a more freeform approach to his research… though, with whims and interests that shift alongside the breeze, his next topic of study might just be you!

Roleplay Sample

Vasya lets out a deep sigh, lazily flopping onto the counter and tucking his face in his arms. Their gaze remains fixed, little more than sleepy eyes poking out from behind their sleeves.
“You’re certain you don’t want to try my recipe?” They whine, flashing a pout. “Why not? A surprise result is part of the fun of it all, no?”
Tilting their head, Vasya gazes up at him with wide eyes and a look of poorly concealed excitement. They beam as they swirl a questionable vial, fizzling with fantastical colors and giving off an odd smell- the result of an experiment that seems to lack any true purpose beyond simply messing around.
“We could be on the cusp of the greatest discovery of our generation! Call it… a clinical trial, or whatever they say nowadays. Won’t you give it one little test run, for me? For the advancement of science? For… er… whatever cause will convince you~?”

Florence Corvidae

☆ Dramatic ☆ Jubilant ☆ Competitive ☆

Bartender | Escort | Host

Born as Isabelle Schultz, Florence was a girl raised to be the heir of a noble house in Gridania. She was a girl put through rigorous and strict customs and traditions of her house, thus alienating her from any sort of attachment or loyalty to her house or her lifestyle. Having soon grown resentful of her lifestyle, Isabelle grew rebellious. She ventured out when she was not supposed to, often sneaking off into the Shroud where vicious beasts roamed.Interestingly, however, it appeared as though the creatures of the void and creatures of undead origins were strangely drawn to her. Not only were they pacifistic against her, but they came to her aid when she was attacked by the beasts of nature. She even grew to call these undead creatures as friends.Realizing that she did not want to be stuck being protected, Isabelle set her sights on Ul'dah, training to become a Thaumaturge and Black Mage. She took the name of Florence Corvidae - an alias to hide her identity. Seeking to make the name memorable, she partakes of her journeys as an adventurer, befriending more undead along the way.

"So!" Florence exclaimed, turning her back swiftly from her companion - only for her upper body to twist around. She raised her arms in grandeur, one held above her head while the other covered her face with her eyes peeking through the gap between her fingers. "You believe yourself worthy of seeking an audience with the immaculate Florence Corvidae?!" She asked with rolling R's as she struck another dramatic pose, pointing at the one before her.Without allowing a chance for a response, she briskly approached her companion as she seated herself beside them. Florence leaned against them, smiling sweetly with bright eyes. "Let's get along nicely then~! I absolutely can't wait!" She chirped, her voice turning one octave higher.

Nhagi'a is the kind of person who can strike up a conversation with anyone, anywhere, about absolutely anything. He's a perpetual rambler and tends to get lost in his own conversations. His number one passion is for collecting. Collecting what, exactly? Anything! He loves to make new things out of garbage and hold onto trinkets that could one day be his next big project.

Roleplay Sample

"I mean, if you think about it, everyone's definition of garbage is totally different." Nhagi'a plucks a red cloth napkin from the table and dangles it in in the air. "Take this napkin. Wait, no, don't take it. Consider this napkin." He uses his other hand to showcase the napkin, "When the season changes, decorations are gonna change, and that usually means a shift in color palette. After all, wine red is totally not a spring color. So, to some, this napkin is garbage. I think that's crazy! You could use it for a ton of stuff that's not a napkin! Like...it could be a pocket square!" After a few folds of the napkin, it pops back out, refusing to hold it's shape. "...okay, maybe it's too thick for that. You could cut it up and maybe it'd work? But as is..." His green eyes fill with excitement as he gasps. "Ooh, you could tie it into a little bow! How cute would that be?! Anyways, all I'm saying is garbage is so subjective and we should be careful what we throw out. All of that said, my name's Nhagi'a! It's nice to meet you!"
