profile for noise deathmouse, an oc from final fantasy xiv. portrayed by cam. ( 34 / he/it / utc-6 )

* ooc.

.  001.  .  noise's feelings do not reflect mine. these include feelings on your character, but also on npcs and locales in the game, as well as anything else embedded in etheirys's culture. however, if something in my rp is making you uncomfortable or triggering you, please tell me and i will do my best to adjust..  002.  . noise's story and background reflect real world themes, like gender and diaspora. however, i will not engage in 'darker' themes without prior discussion. i will not engage in plots involving sexual assault, incest, or racism (discussion of past trauma or healing is fine if i have a heads up).

.  003.  .  i will only roleplay with those 21 years of age or older. depending on themes, i may ask you that you be 25 or older. This is for my own comfort as much as it is for your own safety. thank you!.  004.  . i love shipping and am open to it, especially more casually. let's see how characters get along first!.  005.  .  i usually keep my friend requests on discord closed, but if we've roleplayed a few times feel free to ask either in game or in a shared server. i don't mind in-game friend requests, though, if you'd like to hang out!

Sometimes I feel like I am the only person on this star as strange as me. I've tried to explain my dreams to an acquaintance, and they had no idea what to make of it. Sometimes it feels like I can feel when something's about to happen to me, but it's never in any useful way. My senses have never been quite right, I've always been either too sensitive or not enough, depending on where I am in the world. Logically, I know there must be stranger sorts. At the very least, I know I don't look all that strange. From a distance, anyways.

* hooks.

common

  • I remember when I was young, that the elders in the village would always remark on my eyes being mismatched. I think it was the blue one that was mostly the topic of discussion. I don't think they ever really specified whether it was a blessing or curse, but I was always kept under close watch in the village. I don't understand what the fuss was.

  • The Skysteel manufactory is unbearably loud. I am still not sure how Ange managed to persuade them to employ me, either, but understanding these accounting books has gotten easier even now. Hopefully it becomes a bit mindless, as I still can't bear to be in this city too many hours at a time.

  • Live bait good for Dravanian fresh water, 10 lures as backup, rod (the sturdy one), that one knife I need to sharpen. I truly need a day off.

  • I'm not sure why, but I seem to be encountering quite a lot of levin static as of late. It's not even just when touching metallic objects anymore, or other conduits. I wonder who would know about such things? It's so irritating.

uncommon

  • Someone asked me why I have an address in Shirogane, so far from my work. Well, the truth of the matter is that I've started to do accounting work for other clients besides the Manufactory, and I thought it would be better to do it away from the Holy See's prying eye.

  • Sometimes I go to the Coliseum to watch the pit fights. I have to admit, I can't quite imagine putting myself under that kind of scrutiny. But there's one man fighting there that I keep coming back to watch. It makes me wonder about those smaller rings, the less bloody and controversial ones. I wonder if the betting is just as good?

rare

  • Recently, an interesting book came across my desk at work. It had a piece of parchment tucked into it. It requested my presence at the Scholasticate at an obscure hour of the night in a fortnight's time— I am still rather unsure if I wish to remain in Ishgard past my working hours, especially for such a vague request.

  • I saw a fortune teller at the behest of someone at work recently, and they had a most curious story to tell. They said that my aether was linked to a friend I made long past. I can only think of a couple people that would describe— but could I really share aether with someone? A soul? I paid them a generous sum, just for the effort of crafting such a fancy.

  • Occasionally I hear a small, chittering voice— usually when I'm trying to fall asleep. I've yet to place the word it's saying, though. I think it's something like "Eo-marn"? I can't find any record of a name like that, I think I'd have to pay a visit to Noumenon, which I don't plan on ever doing again. Horrible.
