Character Background

Iya grew up exposed to the immediate dangers of the world and humanity alike. Unlike most Raen, she was not born in the Eastern Lands. Her story of origin begins in the wilds outside of Ishgard, where she was taken in by refugees escaping the horrors of the Dravanian Lands during the rise of Ishgard and the Dragonsong War. The circumstances of her birth are shrouded in mystery, and her memories of this time are hazy, but she has not been back to Ishgard since her own escape, nor the ending of the war. Her past is guarded, and only those she knows well will uncover those scars.It will take a lot of trust to earn the secrets of Iya's history, as well as to join her on the future of discovery. Her eyes hold the key to her past, and even she is unaware of all to be uncovered. Her quest takes her onto the search of allies and information currently, as well as navigating her new challenge of restricted aether. Alongside that, she's traversed quite a few new lands and gained new skills as a result - a once powerful mage turned resourceful fighter.

Iyashina's Hooks

-Around strangers, at least one of her eyes will remain covered. There's a good, well-guarded reason.
-Albeit rare, refugees in Ishgard often banded together to escape. She also found herself in Hingan lands for an extended time as well. You may have seen her in many spaces. (/t for more info!)
-She is the owner and sole proprietress of the Seagaze Cafe & Lounge!. It is open intermittently between journeys, and she's always excited to see new faces!
-Her aether is restricted, but those with aethersight may see an object or being resembling the Phoenix. Though she brings no harm, she'd always like an opinion of her current situation.
-Her magical capabilities are impressive, when available. Currently, she possesses interesting, otherworldly abilities utilizing a scythe, not traditional in the reaper ways. Until she regains her magic capabilities, that is.
Traveling between the shards and reflections of Eitherys will prove valuable to her adventure. If you could offer assistance in such a way, she'd love to hear it!

OOC Information

Thanks for viewing my Carrd! Here's just a few things to know
-I am open to all types of RP, but also reserve the right to withdraw from anything that I do not feel comfortable participating in, and would expect you also feel/do the same. On an additional note, combat or character harm toward Iya would really need to be discussed prior to events, so please let me know what you have in mind! As a warning, I have no intent to perma-death Iya at this time, so requests involving possible perma-death with characters will likely be declined.
-I'm on EST time zone but work early hours generally, most of my RP is going to be cut off by midnight! Unfortunately work is a priority (I also work 2 jobs :c)!
-I unfortunately suffer from chronic migraines, and at some times I am physically unable to move/function for days. RP scheduling can be hazy due to this, but I do my best and just need some patience!
-OOC=/=IC interactions, please keep them separated. If something needs to be clarified, please ask, as I will do the same.
-I'm 21+ and would appreciate that anyone engaging is also at least 18+
-Discord is available, however I don't generally share it right at the beginning of meeting someone. After a few interactions, I'd be happy to invite that conversation! Also, I don't generally RP over Discord, and prefer to leave it in-game.
-Finally, on some personal notes, the player (myself) is a male. I've ran into many instances of others airing their grievances about that. If this is you, I'd rather not engage. This game is the first instance where I was able to express creativity and imagination freely. If you came into this with separate expectations, that is not on me. Thank you.
