bio
Of the Steppe, reluctant daughter of the elder gods. . .
➤ When she was young Erhi loved nothing more than to watch over the herds of animals, whatever they may be, especially at night. She simply enjoyed the cool air and calm beauty of the dark as well as the company of the stars.
As she grew older she was permitted to take skins and wares to Reunion to sell or be sold and eventually crossed paths with Sharlayan astrologians passing through. She noted their beautiful globes and when they saw her interest they sat down and spoke for hours about who they were and what they did. She was fascinated and needed to know more so she begged them to return and one of them promised he would.Over the next several summers she met with the Sharlayan scholar and spoke about what she learned and how she'd studied and continued to beg him to whisk her to Sharlayan to learn more. He stayed constant that it was up to her family and he could not abide whisking a young woman away from everything she'd ever known.
She knew her tribe would never allow this as she was not only needed on the Steppe, it seemed almost blasphemous to presume she could push aside the gods and commune with the stars themselves. While she was skeptical that the gods of the Steppe were any better than the primals that the beast tribes worshipped.
She made her own plans and the next summer when her Sharlayan friend came she, unbeknownst to him, followed behind until they'd reached the snowy Coerthan mountains and she could stand to walk no further. He scolded her and yelled about how this could look to his peers if they ever found she had abducted herself and chosen to leave her tribe behind, but she insisted that her tribe didn't understand and she needed to pursue her hearts desires.
Reluctantly he allowed her to accompany him to Dragonshead and fashioned a letter to be sent by moogle to Reunion for her family letting them know what had happened. Erhi intercepted his letter and sent one of her own informing her tribe that she would be coming home when she fulfilled what the gods had planned for her, knowing full well she would likely not return for some time as she explored the world herself and learned what it had to offer.➤ Now passing 20 summers and having learned nearly as much as she could without worldly experience she pressed on from Ishgard and Coerthas, deeper into Eorzea and stayed in Gridania for a time. She enjoyed the change of scenery; the dense trees, thick shrubbery. It was like nothing she'd seen before.
She briefly studied under the Conjurer's guild and of course stumbled into botany and learned much about what herbs help with what ailments and was told to learn more she would have to go further to the dry, dusty grounds of Thanalan.➤ Now nearing 30 summers she has been through nearly all of Eorzea, Hingashi, Othard and Coerthas and plans to go further.
For the moment she can be found wandering the streets of Limsa, Ul'Dah and Gridania, partying up with other likeminded people to clear dungeons and do small jobs here and there and utilizing the excellent mastery of Aetheryte travel that Eorzean's have to offer to bump around the places she's been before.
ooc
25 . she/they . fairly active
➤ You can call me Erhi or Winnie. Whichever feels more comfortable to you! Just make sure to keep ME separate from Erhi as Erhi is my character. Although we may share some of the same traits we are NOT the same(disclaimer bc some people do genuinely have a hard time separating this)➤ I like to keep OOC and IC separate of course, but I also like to be clear when doing so. If you aren't sure then just ask, but typically I'll mark my OOC chat with (( this )) or this )) at the very least.➤ I prefer long-term roleplay that's story based and keeps us both interested for a long time. I do prefer to plot out things before we jump into it so dming on discord or in tells to say "hey what if Erhi has a mental break down about a little lamb or something" is a lot better than me just springing that randomly lmao.➤ I do not roleplay with people under 18 years of age if you engage in a roleplay scene with me I will assume you are 18+, but will definitely ask directly at some point.➤ My roleplay replies vary and I typically work with what I'm getting. I like to be pretty detailed about what my character is feeling, seeing and doing in the moment, but if that's not your style that's okay.
things I'm cool with
➤ romance
➤ nsfw when appropriate and not simply tossed into the rp at random. I don't care if Thancred has a boner because he thinks Erhi is a sexy bitch.
➤ violence and gore when it's not absolutely over the top. If your character has a bad wound that's bleeding profusely and horribly painful that's one thing, but I don't need to hear about the pulsating, writhing, fire-like agony sent from hell as their blood pours buckets while they choke or whatever they've got going on unless it's really needed for me to understand the extent of the wound.
➤ anything lore based, lore twisting or lore manipulating(your character being half voidsent or something is cool with me lol)
➤ Drama( if some assassin springs out of the dark and attacks your character as long as it fits with the story we've got going on I'm cool with that)
things I'm not cool with
➤ unneeded, edgy and uncomfortable topics at random such as "YCH brings up how they were sexually assaulted without any prompting or discussion before hand". Consent is still a thing when roleplaying please keep that in mind.
➤ Goddmodding, powerplaying, Mary-Sue stuff. Maybe my terms are outdated, but you don't control my character, your character isn't perfect and all powerful(unless discussed beforehand) and I would probably not roleplay with you if you do this lolol
➤ Nitpicking grammar and spelling. I literally don't care if I spell a word a little wrong or put ; or , in the wrong place. I won't pick at you for saying "youer" on accident instead of you're or being addicted to commas. It happens. I expect the same in return.
➤ Pressuring for replies or roleplay in general. I don't mind you asking me here and there if I'd like to do something, but acting like I'm required to continue a storyline or something is not what I'm about. I have two kids and a life outside of FFXIV and sometimes I just wanna afk or run dungeons on an alt so plz just be patient.
