DEIRDRE VALENCE,
criminal oc from final fantasy xiv. as penned by phoenix. * please read rules before interaction.
18+ only. 21+ preferred. criminal/mature rp.

established 2O24.

if one believes there is truth in art — and i do — then it's troubling how similar the skill of performing is to lying. maybe lying itself is a kind of art.

1st.

on the topic of: general.

standard rp etiquette and the willingness to have open & honest communication is both expected and required. both will be returned in kind. please inform me if i'm making you uncomfortable in some way — i'm pretty good at picking up on things but i may miss or misread a social cue.in regards to what i'm looking for, while i will happily write any and all stories, themes & dynamics, i tend to favour plot-driven scenes with dark and mature themes. that's not to say i won't indulge in slice of life from time to time however.

2nd.

on the topic of: out of character.

i am chronically ill, neurodivergent & while currently on break, usually a full-time student. unfortunately, my periods of activity and ability to rp in game fluctuate wildly.discord rp is available to provide a somewhat more stable activity level. on top of that, this is a hobby and i am here to have fun so i ask for patience at all times. i might not always have the energy or muse for active writing constantly but i love throwing plot ideas and headcanons around still!

3rd.

on the topic of: permissions.

attacks towards my character are welcome. no perma-injury or death without prior communication. please do not assume romantic/sexual attraction (from my muse) or a pre-established dynamic without prior discussion.

4th.

on the topic of: do not interact.

general dni criteria applies. no queerphobia, no xenophobia, no minors, nobody who uses slurs that aren't theirs to reclaim, anyone who blurs the lines of ic/ooc, etc. just be a generally decent person and we'll be okay.

5th.

on the topic of: dynamics.

i am open to dynamics of any kind, inc. but not limited to: (queer)platonic, familial, romantic, antagonistic, and toxic/unhealthy dynamics. in terms of romantic ships, deirdre currently doesn't do commitment. this will be subject to change as her story progresses but you're welcome to try your luck.i generally won't write smut with strangers immediately unless there's a huge amount of chemistry between muses or some level of ooc comfortability. i also prefer smut for the purpose of story, even in the case of one night stands.

6th.

on the topic of: miscellaneous.

for the sake of being upfront, deirdre is a character that ranges from flirtatious to antagnostic to everything in between at the drop of a hat. additionally, she enjoys her mind games and figuring out what makes people tick, how to push their buttons and how to unravel them. i attempt to keep this in a way that allows for colloborative writing, but i absolutely expect you to write your character accurately in response to her actions. please do not feel as though you need to hold back if she's pushing buttons or the like. please let me know, however, if anything deirdre does breaches a boundary that you are not comfortable with ooc.

hook one.

fashionista .

deirdre always seems to be adorned in the finest things, whether it be the jewellery that adorns her ears and tail, the clothes, silks and leathers she covers herself with or the stunning heels she's almost always seen in, she's not one to settle when it comes to appearances.she'll tell you she's a model and an aspiring fashion designer and all the nice things she owns comes as a boon of her work, but... is that really all there is to it? maybe you wish to try and pickpocket this seemingly-rich miqo'te or steal one of her fine accessories? maybe you're curious what lies beyond the facade?

hook two.

flirt .

deirdre's looks make her easy on the eyes and lure others into a web of her own design quite well, she's found. lucky for her, her quick wit, sultry smiles and cunning wiles means it's even easier to keep it once they're enraptured in conversation.granted, she's only interested if you have a reason for her to be — wealth, looks, or something fascinating enough about you to make her want to chase.

hook three.

challenger .

deirdre loves a challenge and isn't the type to back down easily if you offer one to her.whether it be in gambling, in games — mental or otherwise — of some kind, in a puzzle she needs to dissect or anything you can offer to give her a thrill, you've got her attention. for now, anyhow.

hook four.

information broker .

the ears have walls and someone's always listening... isn't that how it goes? more often than not, mirage is keeping her ears well-attuned to the many things circling the streets, above and underground.
an information hoarder, seller, and blackmailer all in one. hopefully, it's not your secrets she's learning, or maybe you wish to learn about something or someone else? word is to ask for the elusive mirage.
