⸻   About the Writer   ⸻  ⚜

  HI, I'M VAISRAVANA!   I enjoy writing in my spare time, playing games or otherwise taking it easy rambling about OCs, ideas and so much more. Though I may not always be online and consistent with my time due to work and life, I absolutely ENJOY roleplay.I've been writing for quite some time now - But only started to get into writing in Final Fantasy XIV recently in the past year. I have a lot of OCs, though my main is Morrigan Frel which you see here!I often use her in the world of Hydaelyn but every now and then I enjoy branching her out into different kinds of media. From the gotchic world of Castlevania, to the concrete jungle of lights and glamour that is Night City in an era of Cyberpunk. Don't be afraid to DM me outside of RP for discussions!

RULE 001. ⸺ SCHEDULING

  BEFORE I GET INTO THIS,   I want to make it clear that I'm on   UK, GMT 0 timezone!   So chances are you might be interacting with me when I'm up late at night - please forgive my tired replies during that time! I try to be as active as I can on Final Fantasy XIV, especially with my Free Company, the Roundtable and interactions outside of that. If you wish to contact me at all, reach out to me on Discord:   vaisravanaaa.  

RULE 002. ⸺ NEW START

  IT HAS BEEN SOME TIME   since I've last done roleplay on FFXIV. I often write on Discord most of the time, so I apologise in advance if my writing or formatting is something different. In short, I'm still rather new. I openly welcome some advice when writing or general roleplay in Final Fantasy XIV.   All I ask is for your patience   and maybe even guidance to point me in the right direction. If you wish for a code, send a   tell   first.

RULE 003. ⸺ MIRRORING

  REGARDING HOW MUCH I CAN WRITE,   I do my best to match your writing but at most, I try to do between   two to three separate messages.   Morrigan's story is still coming into fruition, so backstory is still rather loose for the moment to work with. If you wish to plan an interact beforehand, or ask me about my character, send me a   /tell   and I'll be happy to figure something out with you.

RULE 004. ⸺ ROLEPLAY TAGS

  IF YOU SPOT ME   in roleplay hubs or just in general and would look to interact with Morrigan even though I don't have a RP Tag on, feel free to approach me with a   /tell   and given if the mood takes me, I'd be happy for a quick and sporadic interaction. Who knows, maybe we'll interact again in future!   I'm always open to write,   though I very much prefer Discord!

RULE 005. Limits & Graphic Content

  WHILE I UNDERSTAND   dark themes can crop up in the world of FFXIV,   I want to avoid   anything taboo and graphic regarding bodily harm, sexual assault, transphobia, homophobia, human trafficking and any others along those lines. Horror written in a graphic manner is out of the question. Morrigan is a doctor so she would be familiar with it - I do not want anything close to body horror.

RULE 006. ⸺ ENERGY LIMITS

  DUE TO THE NATURE   of how tired I can be late at night or anything beyond the hours I'm used to (I have a terrible sleep schedule ), I can usually sustain energy and attention for about three or so hours. Anything past that can be a strain for me mentally. Sometimes, it might be shorter especially late at night, so   I ask for your patience   when speaking with me at any time!

About
Morrigan Frel

⸻   Core Information   ⸻⸻  ⚜

  MORRIGAN FREL,   an Archon of Old Sharlayan, embodies a unique convergence of intellect and compassion. A fairly known figure in the field of medicine and aetherology, her unyielding pursuit of knowledge is matched only by her resolute dedication to curing the ails of her patients and saving lives. Yet despite her unassuming and professional demeanour, Morrigan is scarred by aether from the inside out. It burns as a glowing scar against her chest, a mark of her self-experimentation in an effort to find answers.

❝

  FOR WITHIN THE STARS,   knowledge abounds, a celestial symphony, where wisdom resounds.

❞

⸻   Features   ⸻⸻⸻  ⚜

  DESPITE HAVING   a rather tall and imposing appearance, Morrigan wears a warm smile and very much approachable. she's often dressed in tones of black and white, preferring robes, dresses and skirts. though rarely, she might liken herself to some leather for horseriding. sometimes, one might even spot her glowing scar branded against her chest should she wear something outside of her usual garb.

⸻   Special Job: Grey Mage   ⸻  ⚜

  UTILISING THE DISCIPLINES   of both Black and White magic, Morrigan has taken lessons from both jobs to forge her own style of magic. She did not take lessons from the Thaumaturges of Ul'dah nor the Conjurers of Gridania and was instead taught a more Sharlayan twist of casting. As a result, she weaves the power of umbral and astral elements together, allowing her role to be flexible between a healer and a caster. But unlike the two classes she's merged, she's learned to heal with umbral and bring destructive force with astral, eventually forging her own school of magic in between: Twilight.As of now, she's currently delving into research regarding the Void to better understand the power Black Mages draw their power from. Her self-experimentation towards 'Twilight' magic has led her to dangerous attempts to her life in her pursuit of knowledge, leading to the aetherical damage on her right arm which cannot cast magic without an arcane focus. But even then, her high price has granted her the reward of creating powerful shields stemmed from the twin powers of astral and umbral.

SMOKE & MIRRORS

⸻   Personality   ⸻  ⚜

  DESPITE   her altruistic intentions, Morrigan harbors a dark secret hidden beneath her benevolent facade. few are aware of her clandestine research and forbidden magics, a pursuit born from a desire for power to protect her allies and a thirst for unravelling knowledge and truths.

⸻   Strengths   ⸻  ⚜

  EMBODYING   the essence of a maternal figure to most or few, Morrigan is a trustworthy and loyal ally, unwavering in her own beliefs and traditions, as well as fiercely protective of her companions.

⸻   Weaknesses   ⸻  ⚜

  LONGEVITY    is both a blessing and a curse in the eyes of many Viera and Morrigan is no different. In her long life, she has thrived and grew in strength. Yet sometimes, old haunts still follow her everywhere she goes.

⸻   Flaws   ⸻  ⚜

  DESPITE   her easy smile and outgoing charm, the Cleric hides a veil of secrets and unseen scars of the past. She always keeps some cards up her sleeves - and when provoked, she becomes unpredictable.

⸻   Likes   ⸻  ⚜

  FROM SWEET TREATS   to the comforts of home with a book and a fireplace, morrigan is a woman of simple pleasures. she enjoys painting, gardening and even playing the lute. cooking with others is a favourite past time to bond with others.

⸻   Dislikes   ⸻  ⚜

  THOUGH IT TAKES   an impressive effort to disappoint her, she is not fond of those who continuously tests her patience knowingly. Despite her discomfort, Morrigan prefers to avoid confrontation at all costs - But a saying goes to never provoke "the healer."

⸻   HOBBIES   ⸻  ⚜

  MORRIGAN HAS LIVED   beyond the years of an average person, like many other Vieras like herself. When she's not travelling or exploring, she has accustomed herself to more quiet past times, some of which she has kept close even after so many years.

THE INVENTORY

⸻   Gear & Items   ⸻⸻⸻  ⚜

THE STATISTICS

⸻   Stats & Proficiencies   ⸻⸻  ⚜

  HER FLEXIBILITY   is one of her many qualities; being able to switch between astral and umbral elements to suit the needs of the party. Regarding composition she can shift her role between a support, a healer or a powerful mage that pour devestation unto her foes with meticilous thought and care. Though she is not a physically strong woman, most of her strength lies in her long years of research and expertise in Aetherology, Medicine and having a rather uncanny seventh sense on where information could be found should she seek it. Having taught in the Studium, tended to the flora and fauna of St. Mocainne's Arboteum in Idyllshire and fought hard as a combat medic in the Dragonsong War, her experience of knowledge is well-respected amongst her peers. Yet a close few turn to Morrigan for her thoughts and insights, having lived through the many lessons life has taught her.

HISTORY ⸻

  BORN AND RAISED   in Old Sharlayan, Morrigan was brought up by a Viera couple who lived there, Irene and Ordofnir Frel. Her father was once a wood-warder and a captive of Garlemald who was then rescued by her mother and was given shelter in Old Sharlayan. On the condition that he would become a Gleaner, he soon married her and spent most of his time raising his only daughter while his wife worked tirelessly as a Librarian in the Noumenon.Influenced by her mother's aptitude of books and scholarly work, she fulfilled the Sharlayan tradition of applying to the Studium. Determined to one day earn her mark, she studied tirelessly to meet the expectations of her mother. Ordofnir on the other hand, eased her many tasks with tales and stories of the things he's seen in his travels. He even taught her a few languages which he picked up, eventually making his young daughter a rather impressive linguist.Morrigan's relationship with her mother began to strain after she received her mark. In a form of rebellion and scramble for freedom, she joined the Idyllshire Colony established in Dravania. She was shunned from her family then, left to fend for herself in an unfamiliar land. Her only form of contact then was concealed letters from her father, who continued to encourage and support her unbeknownst to his wife.At the height of the Dragonsong War and accepting the contract for assistance, word reached her family soon enough. Rumours of a few Sharlayans joining the fray to protect Ishgard was soon to be revealed many names, Morrigan's being one of them. Enraged by her daughter's negligence of the Sharlayan code of never siding in a war, their relationship was irreparable. (wip...)

Verse ⸺ 001.

⸻   The TRAVELLER   ⸻⸺  ⚜

  MORRIGAN   in the far future has lived her life to the fullest. Her family was now gone and only she stands in the wake of time's cruel fate. For a time, she returned to   Old Sharlayan   to teach at the Studium, watching lives of promising students flit between decades and centuries until one day,   she met an old friend.   An old classmate who once worked with her during her early days as a student.Eventually, she left her life in Old Sharlayan once more, joining her on a voyage to assist on her research as a travelling companion and a party member.

Verse ⸺ 002.

⸻   The Frenzied   ⸻⸺  ⚜

  DRIVEN MAD   with grief, unable to accept the laws of life and death, Morrigan seeks to go   beyond her mortal limits  , her research into Umbral aether slowly driving her into madness. Dedicating her notion of bloodletting and chaos in the name of   Menphina   and love of her family, her hysteria and delusions steadily drives her to do the unthinkable. Rituals of dark intent, whispers of the Void in a desperate attempt to control time itself.  Her insanity as a result,   has forced those around her to take matters into their own hands. Unable to let a madwoman sully the one that was once Morrigan, they were forced to make amends to stop her. Children hunting a mother, a father hunting a daughter. Oh, to what sweet end will this stale end?

Verse ⸺ 003.

⸻   The Wanderer   ⸻⸺  ⚜

  HAVING LIVED   her fulfilling life with her family and outliving many of her friends and family, Morrigan suddenly left her life of comfort and decided to travel across the world alone.For a time, she was aimless, wandering between   cities   and   harbours   figuring out where the winds will take her next or what meal to have the next day. Coin was never an issue, as her wealth grew in her many years of existence.Not much   entertains   her any further than the quiet company of books, painting and seeing the world one last time before one day finally leaving the world in peace - On her own terms.

Verse ⸺ 004.

Known for her loyalty and swiftly silencing the advancements of her enemies, she   holds her duty with high regard   and ensures the safety of its family members.When she's not strategizing or fighting tooth and nail in shaded alleys, she carries a façade of a normal citizen working in a rather quiet and quaint bar alongside some of the other members, going by the name of "Selene" to keep her real identity from the scrutinizing eyes of higher authorities who seek to quell the violence between these crime families.

Verse ⸺ 005.

  HIGH IN THE SNOWY PEAKS   of Targon in Runeterra, a Vastaya thrives under the guidance of the Ottrani.

Verse ⸺ 006.

⸻   The Matron of Abyss   ⸻⸺  ⚜

  WITHIN THE BOUNDS   of a great Empire to the East where the sun meets the sea, Whitecliff stands as its heart and pride as a city dedicated to magic.

Morrigan led a rebellion against her own Mother and was forced to atone for the sins of the late Matron.In a struggle against the Abyss and Imperial politics,   she leads a covert elite military force of her own making,   constantly working against the aftereffects of the Abyss behind closed doors to protect her people from its effects - And perhaps even the entire Empire.
