regulations

  001   21+
This is a requirement. Due to the nature of some roleplay themes and content, this space is reserved for individuals 21 years and older. Mature themes, including violence, strong language, and adult content, may be involved in certain roleplays. Please respect this age restriction, as it ensures a comfortable and appropriate environment for all participants.
  002   Respect Boundaries
Always be mindful of both in-character and out-of-character boundaries. If something makes either of us uncomfortable, it’s important to address it respectfully. We can discuss limits beforehand, and please be aware that things may change over time. Communication is key to ensuring a positive experience for both players.
  003   God-Modding or Power Gaming
Do not control another player’s character or dictate their actions, reactions, or emotions without their consent. Everyone's character has autonomy and should be allowed to make their own choices, even if they differ from what you expect. Let’s ensure that our roleplay is collaborative and respectful of each other’s characters.

  004   Grammar & Pacing
Clear, coherent writing makes role play more enjoyable for everyone involved. While mistakes happen, please strive for good grammar and sentence structure. I value detail and effort, but I also understand if you’re unable to reply right away. Just let me know if you're busy and need time—role play is meant to be fun, not rushed.
  005   Patience & Communication
We all have lives outside of roleplay, so please be patient if responses are delayed. If you need to take a break or step away for any reason, just communicate that. I value open communication about pacing, availability, and preferences to ensure we’re both enjoying the experience.
  006   Discrimination & Toxicity
Respect is non-negotiable. Any form of discrimination, harassment, or toxic behavior—whether based on race, gender, sexuality, or anything else—will not be tolerated. Roleplay should be a safe and inclusive space for everyone. Let’s foster a positive, supportive environment where everyone can enjoy the stories we create.

  007   IC =/= OOC
It’s important to distinguish between in-character (IC) actions and out-of-character (OOC) discussions. Please mark when you’re switching between the two, and remember that what happens IC should not be taken personally OOC. Similarly, let’s avoid letting OOC conflicts affect the roleplay or the characters we create.
  008   Consent
Consent is crucial in all aspects of roleplay, whether it's related to plot direction, character interactions, or mature content. Always check in with your roleplay partner before introducing sensitive topics or actions, and respect their responses. Consent should be ongoing, and both players should feel comfortable with the direction the story takes.
  009   Keep it Fun
Above all, roleplay is meant to be an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. While the story may have moments of tension, conflict, or deep emotional exploration, it's important to remember that the overarching goal is shared enjoyment. If things feel too heavy or if you're ever unsure of where to go next, don’t hesitate to lighten the mood or introduce something playful.

notes

  001   Character Consistency
It’s essential that your character stays true to their core personality, background, and motivations, even as they experience growth or change. While development is a natural part of a story, it should feel organic and reflective of your character’s established traits. This consistency helps keep the narrative grounded and allows the world to evolve in a way that makes sense for both your character and the plot.
  002   Engagement in the World
I greatly value characters who interact with their surroundings and the people in it. Whether it’s noting the details of the environment, reacting to the actions of other characters, or having your decisions influenced by the world around you, the more your character is fully engaged, the richer and more immersive the roleplay becomes. This also helps in building a deeper connection to the story and everyone involved.

  003   Emotional Depth
Characters with emotional complexity are a huge draw for me. Showing vulnerability, fear, hope, regret, and ambition gives characters layers that make them feel more real. I enjoy exploring how your character’s emotions evolve through experiences, relationships, and challenges. Letting these emotions guide your choices helps add depth to your character’s arc and makes every interaction more impactful.
  004   Collaborative Storytelling
Roleplay with me is about the shared experience of storytelling. I love it when both characters and players contribute equally to the unfolding narrative, plot twists, and world-building. It’s not just about one character’s growth but about both of us helping shape the direction of the story. I enjoy working together to create a dynamic plot where our choices impact the direction of the narrative, creating a more immersive and collaborative experience.

biography

.    roots and wings    .
Lilia's story begins in Old Sharlayan, where knowledge was the heart of everyday life. Her mother ran a potion shoppe, always busy crafting remedies and tending to customers in need of her expertise. Lilia grew up surrounded by books, alchemical ingredients, and the quiet hum of scholarly pursuit, yet she never quite found herself drawn to the same path.
Her eldest sibling, Isolde, followed closely in their mother’s footsteps, becoming a skilled chirurgeon and dedicating herself to the study of apothecary abroad. Their brother, Caius, pursued his own ambitions, traveling to study advanced magic and technology. Though she admired them both, Lilia always felt that her own future lay elsewhere— somewhere beyond the structured expectations of academia.Rather than pursuing formal studies at the Studium, Lilia instead moved out of her mother’s house into a small apartment meant for upcoming scholars. The space was modest, tucked among the towering libraries and bustling lecture halls, yet it was hers— a quiet retreat where she could shape her own path. Still, life in the city could feel lonely at times, and so she found comfort in a companion of her own: Pippin, a lively corgi with an endless supply of energy and affection. With his boundless enthusiasm and cheerful presence, he quickly became Lilia’s steadfast friend, filling her quiet home with warmth.Even as she built a life for herself within the city, Lilia’s dreams extended beyond its walls. She spent her days working as a novelist and saving every gil she could, with a vision of one day opening a bookstore café. In her quiet moments, she found solace in simple joys— crocheting, knitting, and sewing her own clothes, sketching and painting whenever inspiration struck. Flowers remained her favorite muse, their fleeting beauty a reminder of the world’s quiet wonders. Some evenings, you might find her nestled among blooms, quill and notebook in hand, with Pippin curled up beside her, or lost in the pages of a book, dreaming of the future she was slowly, but surely, creating.

.    a faded spark    .
Lilia’s introduction to magic came at a young age, though not through grand displays of arcane mastery. In a household steeped in alchemy and potion-making, magic was simply another tool— practical, measured, and bound by the careful precision of her mother and sister’s craft. Their spells were subtle enhancements, woven into remedies and tinctures, meant to soothe ailments or fortify the body. While she learned the basics— mostly manipulations and enchantments— her family’s magic never strayed far from the world of potions and pragmatic solutions.
Yet Lilia longed for something more. She found herself drawn to tomes of theoretical magic, poring over texts that spoke of raw energy, of forces untethered to mortar and pestle. She wanted to cast spells that crackled with power, to uncover mysteries buried deep in the arcane. But the deeper she delved, the more she realized that magic, at least as she understood it, was not as boundless as she had hoped. The structured theories, the rigid formulas— it all felt more like an academic exercise than the discovery of something truly extraordinary.Over time, her passion dimmed. Magic, once a thrilling pursuit, became another routine. She still used it, of course— turning pages with a flick of her fingers, warming her tea without a flame— but the wonder had faded. It wasn’t failure that turned her away, nor was it lack of talent. It was disappointment. Magic had felt like a door to something greater, but instead, it had led her down the same well-trodden paths of study and practice that surrounded her in Sharlayan. Eventually, she stopped reaching for it entirely.For a while, she drifted, uncertain of what she was meant to do. The books that once excited her remained untouched, the notes she had taken gathering dust. She focused on other things— work, hobbies, the quiet simplicity of daily life— but the absence of magic left a hollow space she couldn't quite fill.It wasn’t until she met Gazardiel that something shifted. Their meeting had been unexpected, an abrupt detour in the

path she had settled into. He was unlike the scholars and academics she had known in Sharlayan. His approach to magic defied the structure she had grown accustomed to, unrestrained by the rigid lessons she had abandoned. He worked with forces that felt raw and untamed, wielding them as naturally as breathing.Drawn to that difference, Lilia followed him to Havenwood. Outside the structured walls of academia, beyond the expectations of her upbringing, magic began to feel different. It was no longer just theory or routine but something alive, something with weight and presence. Under his guidance, she was pushed to see magic in ways she hadn’t before— not as a set of rules to follow, but as something fluid, something she could shape.And for the first time in years, it no longer felt like a lost dream— it was something within reach again..    a place to call home    .
Lilia never imagined herself settling down— not truly. She had spent much of her life searching for something, always looking ahead to the next chapter, the next possibility. But somewhere between the quiet moments in Havenwood and the challenges that shaped her, she found a place where she belonged. What started as a journey to rekindle her magic became something much greater, and Havenwood became her home.
Now, as a member of the village council, she has taken on a new role ensuring Havenwood thrives, protecting the place and people she has come to love. She has found purpose in the ebb and flow of village life, in the shared victories and struggles of a community that has become her own.She resides in a cozy cottage with Gazardiel and Pippin, where magic hums through the walls, and the scent of herbs and parchment linger in the air. The sound of Pippin’s cheerful paws against the wooden floors is a constant comfort. It is a life she once might have never expected, a future she wouldn’t have thought to dream of— but it is hers, and she wouldn’t trade it for anything.

hooks

.    a touch of magic    .
Lilia’s subtle magic is used to bring beauty to life’s little moments. Perhaps you’ve noticed her coaxing a flower to bloom or lighting a room with a flick of her fingers. Does her gentle magic intrigue you?

.    a bond with pippin    .
Lilia’s puppy companion, Pippin, is more than just a pet; their bond is unspoken yet deep. Are you curious about their connection, or do you share a similar bond with an animal companion of your own?

.    a pastel world    .
Lilia has a love for all things soft and colorful. Perhaps you’ve seen her journaling, sketching designs, or simply appreciating a pastel sunset. Do you share her love for life’s delicate beauty?

.    an unexpected encounter    .
Maybe you stumble upon her and Pippin in a quiet moment, a fleeting chance to meet someone who sees the world a little differently. Will you take the opportunity to connect?

.    unfinished creations    .
Lilia’s art is always half-finished, but somehow, it still tells a story. Have you come across one of her incomplete paintings or sculptures? What happens when you become part of the story she’s only begun?

.    soft spoken creator    .
Lilia speaks in soft, measured tones, her voice almost as gentle as the magic she wields. When you meet her, does her calm demeanor draw you in, or do you find her reserved nature a bit mysterious?

plots

.    the power of words    .
Lilia has always been an artist with her words—whether through her writing, her designs, or the quiet magic she subtly weaves into everyday life. But what happens when one day, the stories and ideas she expresses in her writing unexpectedly begin to manifest in the real world?
It starts innocently enough: a story she writes about a delicate flower blooming in the winter appears outside her window, or a phrase about a bird taking flight seems to come true when one suddenly performs an extraordinary act. But soon, the words Lilia speaks or writes begin to take on a life of their own—creating creatures, forming unintentional events, and changing the world around her.At first, Lilia is entranced by the idea that her creativity has such power, but she soon realizes that not all of the manifestations are as harmless as a glowing sunset or a blooming flower. Some creations may be beautiful but uncontrollable, or even dangerous, forcing Lilia to confront the darker side of her power.

.    the hidden garden    .
While exploring a quiet, forgotten corner of the world, Lilia discovers a hidden door leading to an otherworldly garden, untouched by time. Inside, she finds enchanted plants with powerful magic—some healing, others dangerous—and creatures that seem to whisper ancient secrets. The garden feels alive, and Lilia quickly realizes she shares a deep, inexplicable bond with it.
But she’s not the only one drawn to its beauty. Others, some with darker motives, seek the garden's power to control or exploit its magic. As Lilia uncovers its secrets, she learns her connection to the garden may be more significant than she thought, tied to a forgotten legacy or a deeper magical force.As she becomes entangled in the garden’s mysteries, Lilia must choose whether to protect it from those who wish to exploit its power or leave it behind before the dark forces threatening it destroy everything. Will she embrace her role in the garden’s fate or walk away, knowing the risks?

.    the enchanted scarf    .
Lilia, in her usual laid-back way, seeks out a quiet moment in a quaint little shop tucked away in a corner of the town. She’s drawn to a basket of unusual yarns, one of which seems to shimmer faintly under the light. Curious, she buys it, drawn in by its softness and the slight hum of magic it gives off. Back at home, she begins knitting the yarn into a simple scarf, not expecting anything out of the ordinary. However, as she weaves each stitch, she unknowingly infuses the scarf with fragments of her life: memories, emotions, and desires.
Each time she adds a new row, the scarf reacts—changing color, pattern, and texture to reflect the moods and events she’s experiencing. What starts as a relaxing, seemingly innocent hobby soon spirals into something more intimate and profound, as the scarf begins to show her more than she bargained for: her deepest thoughts and the hidden parts of herself she might not be ready to face.Should she finish the scarf? Or should she unravel it completely?

the star that fell in my hands.

One quiet night, when the world was still,
A tiny star fell past the old windmill.
It tumbled and twinkled, soft as a sigh,
Landing in Lily’s hands from the wide, endless sky.
She gasped in wonder, eyes open wide,
A piece of the night, right by her side!
It shimmered, it sparkled, it hummed like a song—
Lily knew she would keep it, safe all along.
She placed it gently inside of a jar,
A treasure this small, shouldn't go far.
At night, it would glow with a comforting light,
A secret that made all her worries feel light.
But as Lily grew, she started to see,
The star’s glow had dimmed— what could it be?
It flickered and wavered, its shine growing weak,
As if it was calling, too tired to speak.
She sat by her window and stared at the sky,
Where other stars twinkled so merry and high.
“Do you miss them?” she whispered, soft as the air.
The star gave a flicker, as if to say, “There.”
Lily took a deep breath and opened the lid,
Her heart feeling heavy, but she knew what she did.
"You were never mine to keep all along,"
She said with a smile, steady and strong.
The little star twinkled and rose with delight,
Dancing and swirling back into the night.
Lily watched as it joined all the rest,
Shining and twinkling, happy and blessed.
And though she had let her small star go,
She knew in her heart, she’d still see its glow.
For love isn’t holding too tight or too strong,
Sometimes, letting go is where it belongs.

the yellow rainboots.

One bright morning, in a small cozy nook,
Pippin the Lalafell received a new look.
A pair of boots, so shiny and bright,
Yellow as sunshine, gleaming in light!
With a smile on his face, Pippin gave a cheer,
"These boots are perfect for days that are drear!"
The rain began falling, but that didn’t matter,
He’d have adventures— no puddle would splatter!
With a skip and a hop, he headed outside,
Splashing through puddles, his boots open wide.
He met a chocobo, yellow and tall,
With feathers so soft, it gave a small call.
"Hello there, Pippin! Those boots look so neat!"
The chocobo chirped, tapping its feet.
"Come join me, Pippin, in a race through the rain,
Let’s splash through the puddles, let’s race, let’s gain!"
Pippin laughed loud, "I’m ready to race!"
And off they both went, with speed and with grace.
But soon they were stopped by a warrior near,
With a shield in one hand and a sword, so clear.
"You’re racing in rain with no care, I see!
But I think I can join you, if you’d let me be!"
So the warrior smiled, with strength in his stride,
And joined in the fun, walking by their side.
Through puddles they splashed, with laughter and cheer,
But soon a sweet smell began drawing near.
It came from a baker with flour on her nose,
And warm, fresh bread— sweet as a rose!
"Hello, my friends! What fun do you share?"
She asked as she kneaded dough with great care.
"We’re playing in rain, with boots so bright,
Why don’t you join us? It feels just right!"
The baker laughed, and with a wink,
She joined their parade, faster than you’d think.
With Pippin and the chocobo, the warrior strong,
The baker and her bread, they all sang a song.
They splashed through the puddles, and skipped with glee,
As the rain danced around, as happy as can be.
For even on days when skies are gray,
With good friends by your side, you can brighten the day!
When the rain finally stopped, and the sky turned blue,
Pippin looked around and said, "It’s true!
Even on days that are rainy and wet,
Adventures are brighter with friends we’ve met!"
And so, with his yellow boots shining bright,
Pippin and his friends walked into the light.
Hand in hand, heart in heart,
A rainy day adventure, a perfect start.

a glimmer in the grass.

The creek sang its familiar song, water rushing over smooth stones, while Lilia stomped through the shallows, her yellow boots splashing with each step. The sky was turning soft shades of violet, the last golden streaks of daylight fading behind the trees. Caius, a few summers older than her, balanced on a fallen log a little ways ahead, his arms outstretched like a tightrope walker."Lilia! Caius! Supper’s ready!" Their mother’s voice rang through the evening air, drifting from their little house nestled at the edge of the trees.Caius sighed dramatically, hopping down from the log. "Come on, before she comes looking for us," he said, shaking droplets of water from his hands.Lilia giggled, lifting her arms to let her raincoat sleeves catch the air as she spun in a circle. "Just one more splash!" she declared, stomping both feet down into the creek, sending water spraying in every direction.Caius rolled his eyes. "You’re gonna get soaked, and then you’ll be the one complaining when you’re cold."Lilia stuck out her tongue before skipping onto the damp grass, the mud squelching under her boots as she hurried to catch up to him. But just as she reached the bank, something unusual caught her eye—a flicker of light, nestled in the dirt near the roots of an old oak tree.She froze.It shimmered, soft but steady, as if the last bit of sunlight had been trapped inside it. She tilted her head, her heart beating faster. Could it be…?She thought back to the story her mother had told her just a few nights ago, when they sat curled up together by the fireplace, her mother’s voice weaving magic into the quiet night."Sometimes," her mother had said, "a star will fall from the sky, but it doesn’t just disappear. It lands somewhere, waiting for someone to find it. And if you’re lucky enough to catch a fallen star, you can make a wish—but only if you truly believe."A fallen star.Lilia’s breath caught in her throat. Could this be one? Had she, of all people, been the one lucky enough to find it?She crouched down, her small fingers reaching for the glowing speck. As soon as she touched it, warmth bloomed in her palm. It wasn’t hot, but it tingled, like tiny sparks of light dancing on her skin. She gasped, eyes wide with wonder.And then—just as suddenly as she had found it—it disappeared.Lilia blinked. She turned her hand over, searching her palm, the ground, even the air around her. But it was gone, as if it had never been there at all.Had she imagined it?"Lilia!" Caius called again, his voice impatient.She looked up, her heart still racing, the cool evening air prickling her skin. Slowly, she curled her fingers into a fist. No, she hadn’t imagined it. She was sure of what she had seen—what she had felt.Maybe… maybe the star hadn’t disappeared at all. Maybe it had gone inside of her, tucking itself away, waiting for the right moment to grant her wish.A smile crept onto her face.She ran to catch up with Caius, her boots thudding against the wooden steps as they entered the warm glow of their home. The scent of rice and beans filled the air, mixing with the sweet, comforting aroma of freshly baked bread. Their mother set a plate in front of her, steam curling up from the food.Lilia sat quietly, eating her supper, her mind still buzzing with excitement. She didn’t tell Caius or her mother about the star—not yet. It was hers to keep, a secret tucked safely inside her heart.And maybe, just maybe, one day she’d find out what it meant.

the couerl and the morpho.

In a forest deep and wide,
Where the tallest trees reside,
Lived a coeurl cub, so fierce and wild,
A lonely, growling, giant child.
His fur was dark, his eyes were bright,
With claws so sharp, he could start a fight.
The other creatures ran away,
Afraid of him both night and day.
“I’m too scary, no one will stay,”
The coeurl cub would often say.
“I have sharp teeth and claws so strong,
I don’t belong where I don’t belong.”
But one bright day, a fluttering sound,
Caught his ear and turned him around.
A butterfly, so small and light,
Was dancing in the soft daylight.
“I’m not afraid,” the butterfly said,
“Your claws don’t scare me, not one bit.”
The cub just blinked and tilted his head,
"How can that be? You must be misfit!"
But the butterfly just gave a smile,
And fluttered near him for a while.
“I’ve seen your heart, so kind and true,
I’m not afraid to be with you.”
The cub was shocked, he couldn’t speak,
For the butterfly was soft and sleek.
“I’m fierce,” he growled, “I frighten all,
You’ll fly away before too long.”
But the butterfly just shook her head,
And landed gently on his head.
“Your heart is kind, I know it well,
There’s no reason for you to dwell.”
The cub grew curious day by day,
As the butterfly would softly say,
“You’re not as fierce as you may seem,
You can be gentle, kind, and keen.”
And soon the cub began to know,
That kindness helped his heart to grow.
Though fierce and wild, he didn’t mind,
For now he’d learned to be so kind.
Then one morning, when the butterfly flew,
She got caught in a web of dew.
Her wings were stuck, she couldn’t flee,
The cub ran fast, as fast could be.
With one swift swipe, he freed his friend,
And whispered, “I’ll protect you, ’til the end.”
The butterfly fluttered, wings so bright,
“Thank you, my friend, for your brave fight.”
From that day on, they were a pair,
The fierce cub and the butterfly fair.
Though different as the sky and land,
Together, they made a perfect band.
And so they roamed, both side by side,
The cub and butterfly, in perfect stride.
For even fierce hearts, strong and true,
Can find a friend, and start anew.

Gazardiel elwood.

Lilia and Gazardiel share a deep, enduring love, their bond growing stronger with each passing day. Once master and apprentice, their connection has flourished into something far more profound. Now engaged to bond, they support and inspire one another, finding comfort and understanding in each other’s presence. Gaz is Lilia’s steady foundation, while she is his warmth and light. Together, they navigate life’s challenges with unwavering devotion, their love built on trust, respect, and the quiet certainty that they are meant to be.

Gazardiel's Profile

Pippin.

Pippin is Lilia’s loyal and loving best friend, a two-year-old blue-spotted corgi with an endless supply of energy and affection. Always by her side, he’s both a steadfast companion and a source of comfort on even the hardest days. He wears a blue bandana embroidered with an Eorzean “P,” a small but cherished detail that marks him as hers. Playful, intelligent, and fiercely devoted, Pippin is more than just a pet— he’s family, bringing joy and warmth to Lilia’s life with every wag of his tail.

Sami Evandrel.

Sami is Lilia’s mother, a seasoned apothecary and the proud owner of The Gilded Petal, a well-known potions shoppe in Gridania. A Keeper of the Moon with an aged yet graceful face, white hair, and piercing green eyes, she carries herself with the quiet confidence of someone who has spent a lifetime honing her craft. Though often busy with her work, Sami has always cared deeply for her children in her own reserved way. Practical and wise, she taught Lilia the foundations of magic and alchemy, instilling in her both knowledge and resilience. Their relationship is one of mutual respect, though at times marked by the distance that life has placed between them.

Caius Evandrel.

Caius is Lilia’s older brother, just three summers her senior, yet the two have always been inseparable— two peas in a pod, as they like to say. Sharing the same hair and eye color, their bond goes beyond appearances; he has been her confidant, protector, and partner in mischief since childhood. Caius is a traveler, studying the advancements of technology across Eorzea, his curiosity leading him to places Lilia can only dream of. Though his work often keeps him away, their connection remains strong, filled with letters, shared memories, and an unspoken understanding that no matter the distance, they will always have each other.

Isolde Evandrel.

Isolde is the eldest of the Evandrel siblings, now 29 summers old, and has always been the shining star of the family. Gifted and driven, she excelled in nearly everything she set her mind to, her natural talent setting her apart from an early age. But with success came ego, and the seven-year gap between her and Lilia only widened the distance between them. While never particularly close, there is no bad blood— just two vastly different paths that never truly intertwined. Now a battlefield medic, Isolde dedicates herself to aiding soldiers her sharp mind and steady hands making her an invaluable asset on the front lines.
