Personality

Plamtya is a somewhat socially awkward individual. You won't see her approaching anyone to start a conversation if she can help it. She does appreciate people coming to her, however, and is open to discussing any topics. Once you get to know her, she's a chatterbox, but due to her imposter syndrome, she tries not to annoy anyone and will often stop herself if she goes on a rant.A lover of history, linguistics and politics, she's always seen those topics as the easiest ones to address in a conversation and it's what she generally researches about the world, especially when it concerns magic. It simply fascinates her and she hopes to one day become a master of black and white magic.Plamtya has a pretty mean temper if you get her angry, which she attributes to her father's side of the family. Due to this, she often ignores any and all drama and pushes away anyone rude, abrasive, disrespectful etc. If she engages with such individuals, she only ends up upset and it ruins her mood for a day or two. She usually tries to be at least on neutral terms with everyone, though, and will do anything for her friends.She has bad self-esteem and thinks most things she does are bad.Plamtya loves feeling useful and helpful. Her goal in life is simple: Make sure she can help as many people as she can, while gaining as much knowledge of the world and its cultures and history as possible.

Biography

I use an AU where BLM and WHM are more common, but it's optional in RP!Plamtya was born in Limsa Lominsa. She lived with her tribe at first, but her mother moved to the city soon after her birth, tired of the patriarchal Seeker culture. Thus, she never really got to know her father and shed the traditional name, P'lamtya, for a more uniform name, just like her mother.Due to her somewhat antisocial nature and disability, the young Miqo'te had few friends, but realized she didn't need many to be happy. With how widespread mail was, she found it relatively easy to communicate with everyone across the realm if she met a foreigner and she often stuck to the people not native to Limsa, as the bullying due to her disability dissuaded any further attempts of friendship with Lominsans her age.Eventually, the time came for her to be properly educated in an art, and Plamtya chose magic. She ended up moving to the forest city-state of Gridania with her mother, to try and find a better life and learn conjury.After joining the Conjurers' Guild, Plamtya came to really enjoy using the art of conjury to heal and help her allies,She ended up being introduced to thaumathurgy by a friend from Ul'dah. The concept of maintaining a balance of aetheric energy between Astral Fire and Umbral Ice fascinated her and she had to learn more, moving to Ul'dah temporarily to study thaumathurgy in more detail and becoming quite skilled at it.
She now practices both arts as needed and seeks to find the perfect balance between offense and defense on the battlefield.Despite practicing both thaumathurgy and conjury, Plamtya found herself drawn to Gridania and its Padjali keepers more than Ul'Dah. The politicking in the desert city-state was of some interest to her, but usually ended up being too tiresome. Still, as much as she loved the heat of the Sagolii Desert, nothing could compare to the beauty of Gridanian forests and the sounds of scuttling wildlife everywhere she went. Here, she could breathe and feel connected to the Elementals, even if some of them disapproved of her usage of fire and ice magics, she was sure. Not that any of them had ever spoken to her, she wasn't a Hearer or anything, just a white and black mage. A gray mage, she called herself humorously.The White and Black Mage orders had recently been re-established, as the people's fear over the repeat of another War of the Magi waned. Both orders, working together with the Red Mage order, swore to uphold the balance of aetherical magics. Whether the peace would last, time would tell. Mixed practitioners, such as Plamtya, were frowned upon by the orders, who also deemed red magic too frivolous. But they wanted members and also wanted to convince those members that their order was in fact the correct choice. Plam, however, was having none of that. She simply liked healing too much to ever renounce it, and using fire and ice to protect herself, and her allies with damage, was a great boon too.She currently resides in Gridania as a member of the Twin Adder, working to protect her home alongside her colleagues.

• My personal Carrd

Please read my Carrd before contacting me!Do not contact me if you're a minor!RP type: Discord (preferred), Gdocs etc, not a fan of in-game.I'm mostly looking for story arcs and new friends for Plamtya and myself, but casual RP is also welcome! I prefer long-term RP, but short-term is also okay!Writing Length: I prefer longer replies and paragraphs (around 2-3), but I don't mind short replies! (even one-liners are okay when you have nothing much to say), as long as you put in effort!Lore-bending: I'm cool with lore-bending, since Plam herself is a White/Black mage hybrid of sorts and practices both arts!
Note: Please don't spoil anything, I've only just started Stormblood!Romance: I’m not against ships, but they may not become canon. I never force ships and prefer for them to happen naturally. I also won't ship with an age gap of more than 3 years.
Note: I am taken IRL, so me shipping our characters means nothing outside of RP!Mature Themes: Open to mature themes but would prefer to stay away from too much gore, ERP and NSFW stuff.
