☆Backstory☆
☆Playlist☆
He seems to be a cold and calculating sort with a "I'm smarter than you" attitude when in reality, he has some difficulty with social interactions. Though is quick on the uptake at times but also suffers sensory overload which he copes with apathy.At his best, he is cordial, sensible and fearless with a flat sense of humor that could border on morbid.Due to a troublesome childhood from his features, he has always looked at the world through a lens of observation and detachment which led to a path of extensive research into whatever catches his attention at the moment.After an accident that ceased his aging as well as other side effects and subsequent imprisonment some years ago, he's become guarded with his knowledge of the Aetherial Sea, teleportation and portal magicks, choosy with what he shares.☆Thinking with portals☆
Rovah is able to conjure up portals for travel and combat purposes, there are limitations to it with their size and distance depending on how much aether is expended. The important aspect of it is he needs to be able to see where to make portals and have photographic memory of a place to travel.Offensively and defensively, he is able to fully or partially displace blows and projectiles before they touch him if he is quick enough.Sage nouliths aid in this endeavor greatly, manifesting the energy for his portals using energy blasts or the nouliths themselves causing targets to teleport. They also function as a beacon to translocate what they're locked onto back into key positions.
Player is 30+, she/her with 10 yrs of rp exp, mostly tumblr rp. Friendly, perpetually sleepy but a nightowl just vibing along. Mostly active afternoons/evenings. Discord available upon request. Also have Mare.I'm pretty much cool with anything from casual, fluff, slice of life, to darker themes like angst, violence. Tells/Walk-ups are welcome.Development of something along the lines of:
(Friendships, Allies / Partners, Rivalries, Guardians, Mentor / Apprentice, Romantic / Platonic) is ok. I'm also okay just winging it and seeing where it goes from there with whatever dynamic is.No meta-gaming, no minors/minor-aged characters.IC and OOC are separate, character's views and feelings are separate from player's. Just don't be weird.
Born to a Xaela son of Moks who hailed from the Steppe and became a Radiant and a Seeker of the Sun daughter alchemist native to Thavnair with roots of the Raptor tribe. R’rovah’s birth should not have been possible but their love and extensive fertility treatments done on herself by his mother made it so, as a result, his aetherpool was abnormally high which had him fall ill with aether sickness every so often. Alongside that, given his mixed heritage, his appearance was the subject of scrutiny during his childhood which had him bury himself into studying, preferring the company of tomes than people. Yet his mother encouraged him to branch out with dancing alongside his studies to enrich himself in both mind and body.Despite his condition, he grew to surpass the average Miqo’te height with his Au ra genes and he was no longer the subject of bullying but the stares remained. He could care less, all that mattered to him was expanding his horizons, being one step ahead.His tenacity for knowledge earned him a place in the Studium where he excelled further, becoming a professor and even beginning a relationship with a fellow scholar. Despite his accomplishments, he was still looked upon as an oddity and that relationship was not to be.During his stay in Dravania researching the Antitower, an accident occurred and he was deemed missing, though that was the common knowledge when in reality, he was pushed into the aetherial sea by his beloved. To him, he was adrift for what seemed not long at all, he even dreamed of traveling to another world, but years passed when he finally reappeared out in the Dravanian Hinterlands. Though he returned… Changed.Mayhap due to the unique circumstances of his birth was his saving grace from being unraveled during his drifting, still, he was akin to a living ghost now. He returned to Sharlayan homeland to seek assistance for his condition and they promised him they would seek a solution… Only to imprison him in Labyrinthos for study, like the flora and fauna housed there. More years passed, no freedom in sight and a temporary resolution with the aid of his Sage soulstone, he remained unchanged appearance wise but bitterness grew.That bitterness did not keep a gleaner from befriending him, she too having no patience or love for Sharlayan’s ways and she got together a team to help Rovah escape. He returned to Dravania and went into hiding while finding ways to temper his condition since it seemed there would be no sure cure in sight, sharing what knowledge he deems necessary to only a trusted few.Meeting a group of adventurers who had gone through their own trials had him relent his guard and he found a place among them, traveling with and aiding them. His heart once frozen in ice and time, thawed and beat for them.
