Personality
Alma considers herself good mannered and willing to help, enjoying the idea of keeping those around her smiling. This can make her naïve at times. She can easily go on a tangent regarding things she is heavily interested in (5th Astral Era? Arcanima? You're already dead). Her softness does not make her a pushover as she has a good sense of snark, willing to stand firm for herself and others. Unfortunately she is also very easy to make blush with enough teasing.

Quirks
Due to keen sense of smell and hearing, she is well aware of her surroundings. If she wants, she could pick up the scent of someone in a crowd (or location of food). If found reading, writing, or sketching, she can easily lose time. Laughs when nervous, smiles when upset. Depending on her mood/location, she may speak with Sharlayan dictation, or a La Noscean drawl. Teleportation and air/sea travel does not go well with her stomach.

ㅤmagickㅤ Mostly works with SCH magic as her main. As a field medic she chooses classic non-magickal practices without aether. She is also confident in SMN spellcasting.

ㅤfree casterㅤ Given her ability to process complicated math in her head, she is not dependent on books to cast. Many inscriptions have been memorized or she can quickly write them to paper, or skin, if need be.

ㅤhigh aetherㅤ Considered 'aether dense'. She has a large pool of mana to draw from which means she can cast for long periods or explode with high bursts without fatigue.

ㅤechoㅤ Can open her vision to see beyond the veil. She can identify high-aether or mana based objects/people, and possibly identify it. It helps her when healing as she can trace where the body is attempting to tackle wounds. Her echo also acts as soul sight can serve as a 'mood ring' reader. If she does move to analyze your character, I will PM you.

ㅤ❛ㅤ Through playful lips made of yarn, that fragile capricorn. unraveled moths like moths upon old scars. I know the world's a broken bone, but melt your headaches, call it home. ㅤ❜ㅤ

 Researcher 

ㅤ#contact / #walkupㅤ 5th Astral Era + 5th Umbral Calamity are her bread and butter. Sharlayan published her most recent thesis: "The Unparalleled Naval Command of the Nymians". Her current research is an in-depth theory on arcane as a type of aether that lives outside the elemental wheel, hoping she can earn Archon title with it.

 Healer Needed 

ㅤ#contactㅤ After years of working as a Medic for sea vessels, adventurers, and extensive practice during the 7th Umbral Calamity, she considers herself skilled in both traditional and magickal methods of healing. The excess aether pool she can pull from assists in long periods of work. Her echo assists in being able to trace damage almost like an x-ray.

 Whatcha drawing? 

ㅤ#walkupㅤ Alma enjoys sketching places and people when she's about. Her research book is filled with crosshatch style sketches, watercolor, though generally works in charcoal (much of which ends up on her face.)

 Aether Potent 

ㅤ#walkupㅤ Alma has far more aether built into her than the most common person. Often she carries magickal artifacts on her person and has Monarch around. This means she can give off a powerful aura for those who are aether sensitive.

 Rumor 

ㅤ#must contactㅤ After being missing for several weeks, she returned home, secluded herself, refusing to allow friends or leave the house. The leader of a Flesh Trade with hatred for the Hardgrove Family kidnapped her and their children. To survive she ended up the King Pin's loyal personal pet. The trade ring was burned to the ground. She has been marked as S-Rank.

 Plot Device 

ㅤ#must contactㅤ Are you in need of someone who can help move plot along as a third party, or be a victim device? Or just want a fun victim to play with? I am 100% okay putting her in dangerous situations- for I am a terrible person. This does require extensive OOC discussions regarding the plot, where it will go, and the end results.

These are just some simple methods for people looking to connect with Alma.
I am always open to new ideas, or even just casual conversation.
 

* *  Interact   

ㅤ❛ㅤ A life on the ocean wave, a home on the rolling deep, where the scattered waters rave, and their winks their revels keep. ㅤ❜ㅤ

ㅤrule 001ㅤ 18+ minimum, 21+ better. Just not interested interacting with minors.

ㅤrule 002ㅤ Communication is key. Always open to new ideas and try different stories. But talking is important, especially once blorbos start interacting outside public spaces.

ㅤrule 003ㅤ Remember that I am not Alma, and Alma is not me. We have personality traits that match up, but our ideals don't line up.

ㅤrule 004ㅤ Open to establishing new romantic relationships, but this requires conversation between us- and especially pre-attraction. She should not be used as a 'mistress' or a 'side piece' to be part of a cheating plotline.

ㅤrule 005ㅤ Did you know the Elden Ring DLC is going to be dropping June 21st? You will not see me for weeks. I'm sorry.

 OOC  

ㅤwriterㅤ Hi I'm Rose. 30+ bisexual lady in a happy married relationship. Timezone is EST/EDT. Long time rper but been a while since I've done MMO so prepare for UwU days. Comfortable having adult oriented topics and please let me know if I cross that line. Have no patience for RL homophobia, racism, sexism, or general cuntry.

ㅤlooking forㅤ New opportunities and new buddies! Mostly trying to get out there more and find RP home bases. There are very few topics or plots that are off the table for me. I also have a small problem of wanting to find more people for Alma's open romanticism (a lover at heart), though I am very particular about who can fit that role.

ㅤi oopsedㅤ Generally more online in Discord versus XIV game itself. Be warned, my mental health and ADHD can cause vibing that goes nowhere, and crashes where I lose interest. Or I just want to play a new video game. Also a whole lot of imposter syndrome which I may ask for help on. Like rule 002, I will try to communicate best I can.
