  ooc.   i shouldn't have to say it but; keep me and my ocs separate. relationships between ocs has no bearing on relationships between the real-life people behind them.
as well, i write ocs who do not share my morals or worldviews. my ocs doing things that are immoral does not mean i support the immoral act. me liking a character type in fiction does not mean i enjoy or support that kind of person in reality.  interactions & plotting.   i love talking about ocs in any form! whether that be in-game rp, discord rp, or talking/plotting about oc interactions casually.
generally, while i do enjoy talking about ocs with anyone, i do prefer it if we have spoken outside of ocs before. be it as mutuals or friends.  character dynamics.   i am open to talking about character dynamics of all sorts! friendship, romance, rivalry, enemies, etc. our ocs do not have to get along for us to have fun with them! not all people will mesh well! exploring those kinds of dynamics can be a really fun brain exercise.

  no.   no racism, transphobia, misogyny of any kind.
shipping. not all of my ocs are open for shipping. if their bio says no in regards to multishipping, that means i am not open to shipping them.
do not attempt to push shipping on any of the characters in which i have already made the boundary clear.
i do generally like talking about non-shipping dynamics before broaching romance as i think it makes for stronger connections.  activity.   i am notoriously slow to respond and i do apologize ahead of time! i am generally alright with people nudging me if it seems as if i haven't answered, as i suffer from memory problems. it will never be on purpose, i assure you!
in general, i am slowest at discord/one-on-one rp and fastest at casual chat-plotting. i'm also pretty fast at in-game rp, it's just more difficult to schedule times for it!

  ableism.   i have a handful of ocs who have different forms of disability (ex. val having major hearing loss. gunji using a can and having one eye). any ableist comments and jokes are entirely unwelcome. you are not as funny as you think you are.  comfortability.   please tell me which themes you find to be uncomfortable. i go off of the general no racism/transphobia/misogny, no underage, no qos, no nsfw lalafell content, etc. etc. but if there is anything of any sort that makes you uncomfortable, please let me know from the get go.
some of my ocs are more morally ambiguous and include things like unhealthy relationship dynamics, obsessive behavior, violent behavior, dubious consent, etc.
i will be upfront about these things and believe in never blindsiding someone with subjects such as these.

Hooks

  •   What's making him tired today?   val is exhausted 24/7. something probably caused it this day.

  •   Chocobos   he grew up in tailfeather and spent much of his youth learning to carefully rear the birds. his own bird, Roti, is his pride and joy.

  •   His life as a Scion   how did someone who is so desperately in need of peace and quiet choose to join a group that seems to be constantly getting into something?

  •   His awful luck   chances are you will see it in action, anyway.

  •   Is he lost today?   Whenever Val goes anywhere, he tends to get turned around. Quick walks turn into days long journeys trying to figure out where he is.

NPCS

  GUNJI KAGETORA    —  A temperamental and unpleasant travelling chirurgeon that is Val's best friend. Despite everything, Gunji is a loyal and mostly-reasonable friend that is always there when Val needs.

  NASIR FAEZ    —  Though he doesn't particularly understand how to navigate social circumstances, Nasir is a good friend and useful ally. It is also quite amusing to watch him fumble his way through talking to people.

  KALJAH BAMU    —  The second person that Val would consider his best friend. Kaljah is a strong and stubborn adventurer that Val finds himself relying on often.

VALLENTIN ROSCHE

Vallentin was born and raised in the village of Tailfeather, spending his childhood learning hunting and chocobo rearing. He grew a fondness for the birds quite easily, spending quite a bite of time with them as opposed to other people. This lead to him being a quieter person, a little awkward at times. He enjoyed the company of others, but found words to be difficult; much preferring to show his feeling through actions.Due to his awkwardness and aversion to others he was teased through his childhood and teenage years. It was during one of these instances that the other teens of Tailfeather decided to play a prank on Vallentin; setting off firecrackers near the chocobo stables while he was doing his chores. In the ensuing chaos caused by a stable of frightened fowl, Val was knocked down and had his hand trampled, shattering the fingers of his right hand.

Despite an easy recovery, Vallentin's fingers were unable to draw a bow properly. Unwilling to be deterred, he forced himself to learn to draw a bow with his left hand.He left Tailfeather when he was 23, wanting to see more than the simple village for the rest of his life. For a small period he stayed in Ishgard; a place so familiar and yet so utterly alien to his upbringing. Of course he knew much about Ishgardians... He'd never, however, really put stock into the stories of how utterly unbearable they were. He learned this unfortunate truth quick enough; and he left not long before they shuttered their gates after the battle of Cartineau.
