name sao-ren rehw-ijla
age 138 (apprx. mid-20s)
race viera
appearance short, layered, light grey hair reaching just below the jawline, bangs converging between the eyes. ears are little over a head in length and well maintained, fur fluffing at the base. red tribal tattoo along the right jawline and a vertical scar extending from below the left eye. eyes are a pale gold; to those in the know, their clouded colour is indicative of deteriorating eyesight. has a series of diagonal lashing scars across his back, and a garlean insignia at the nape of his neck. lithe and moderately toned, at the upper end of his species' height at 183.7cm (~6').

a silver-tongued astrologian-slash-alchemist who reads the cards for a few quick gil, and is always tinkering with some newfangled concoction - on the surface, at least.

having lived a nomadic life since leaving his village betwixt the cliff faces of greylic's bend, his ties are both few and far between and numerous and extensive: favouring no particular allegiance to the forces of eorzea nor the garlean empire, sao-ren fashions himself something of a neutral intermediary, providing his services only where they're required. business, after all, knows no boundaries; even if that business happens to involve providing various poisons and chemical weapons to dubious clientele, or seeing to it that undesirable company meet rather convenient ends. his talents are afforded at a hefty price -- though you'd be hard pressed to see where exactly his money goes.

investigations into his past, difficult as they are to trace without knowledge of his true name, might yield a question or two about the mysterious disappearances of his immediate family shortly prior to his emergence in the dalmascan capital, but that is, in the end, none of sao-ren's business.

backtagging always open, no matter the age. likewise, feel free to start new or concurrent threads whenever, it's all cool.
threadhopping text only, unless it's a smaller meme or with discussion.
fourthwalling nty.
offensive subjects n/a. sao-ren comes with warnings for murder/assassination, child labour, grooming, torture, and prior sexual abuse. please let me know if you'd prefer not to engage with him for any reason on his hmd.

physical contact he's not super fond of contact where it can be avoided under most circumstances, but also knows how to use it to butter people up so ymmv. at most, he won't react terribly negatively to it unless it's severely overstepping boundaries.
shipping ota. i generally play him as aromantic but as open as a book where sex is concerned, but i'm not averse to developing actual romance. assumed romantic cr on memes and things is fine too idrm tbh, go crazy. m/f, m/m, m/whatever else, all g.
fighting he's a healer, But. will usually try to avoid confrontation where he can, but he has access to a general arsenal of offensive magics and can use small to medium sized swords well enough to defend himself. his aim with a gun is also unusually exceptional in spite of his poor eyesight, though he suffers more than the norm when subject to recoil.
injury/death injure him idc, but death only with some discussion beforehand. i'm open to playing with it in both one-off, permanent capacities and in revival plots.

no need to warn for spoilers for me personally; if dealing with new patch content, i will do so where applicable.
