Red Ribbon

A red ribbon, gifted from his mother's fishing staff, it was her last known gift to him. He now wears it in his hair every day. The deep hue of red a reminder of his home and protection that was granted onto him.

Pouch of water

A small water pouch he uses in emergencies when his aether pool runs low and he needs to pull ambient aether.

Azurite necklace

A delicately crafted Azurite necklace made by a friend of Zansetsu, it is infused with the water from the Ruby Sea which is what keeps him at ease while away from the sea. He wears it when out, typically tucked under his top.

Red notebook

A small beat up red notebook containing Zansetsu's thoughts and small bits of things he wishes to remember. He typically keeps this notebook at home, but there are occurrences where he does bring it out.

♱ “Just a cup of tea.”

Karma works for his grandparents' tea house almost daily. He makes sushi and tea with an eye to detail. “The Jade Dragon” Is open to all with an old styled charm and warming atmosphere. And there seems to be a tall raen man with a blue apron and white yukata serving plates of food.

♱ "Seeking Solace"

If you are a Raen from Sui-no-Sato, Karma would happily entertain conversation of his former home that he loved so dearly.

♱ "Uhm- Excuse me?"

With a watchful eye of the city, Karma knows his way around Kugane. Being up on top of rooftops and hiding in alleyways aided in him learning the way around. Perhaps you require some assistance around the city or maybe you are looking for something thats well hidden and more underground.

♱ "What did you lose?"

Karma was once apart of a small Yakuza clan in Shirogane. Hed rob houses and temples taking things to sell for gil in underground services. Hed get in trouble with other clans by trespassing. So maybe you where once in a clan- Or still are. Or maybe something of yours has been stolen. Karma tends to keep this part of him in the past

Ask- “I saw you in Sui-no-Sato.”

After an unfortunate event- Zansetsu felt drawn to go to Sui-no-Sato. His place of origin. Some witnessed him come back. But not the same. He was banished from ever coming back after this event

Ask- "Something in the sea"

Karma wears a glamour. Very rarely does it break or show. But in particular situations and times. it does. He can mostly be seen in his form when in or near the sea. Those who have been gifted with connecting with the dead or who have Yokai influence will notice.

Takahashi-Alive

Awa - Alive

Zansetsu's familiar and closest bond. birthed from a bubble and a little aether, Zansetsu brought life to this happy and wobbly fish. it curiously approaches anyone and loves to play with other small animals. Awa also brings great aid to Zansetsu in battle & life, Helping him with his aether control.

Makoro -Alive

An older woman who has known Zansetsu since first coming to Kugane. A friend of his grandparents, she frequents the teahouse and always seems to be eavesdropping and talking of stories of her eventful youth, She pesters Zansetsu in a way a family member would.

Rules...

  • I only rp with those who are 21 or older.

  • Please keep ooc, ooc. And ic, ic. I am not my character and my character is not me.

  • Please don’t force romantic interactions on my character. If things naturally develop in that direction, I’d prefer it to be a slow burn and discussed with me beforehand.

  • D/E/M themes are ok (only with 21+ writers and characters and tall characters)

  • If you ever feel uncomfortable or need to pause/stop a scene, please let me know. I’ll do the same.

  • Quality over quantity - I don’t expect rapid replies. Real life comes first.

  • I ask my boundaries to be respected, if this cannot happen we cannot collaborate.


Looking for...

  • In game RP

  • Long term / Short term

  • Character development & Growth

  • Adventure and exploration or slice of life

  • (Not required) Far east connections / spiritual connections

OOC...

Hi there! You can call me Fey and I'm always open to making new RP connections! I've been rping for 10+ years and 4 in ffxiv.
 
I'm in the PST timezone and often busy with work, traveling to visit my partner, or caring for my animals. so my availability can be varied. That said, I'm usually around in the evenings and happy to RP then! Feel free to walk up if you see my RP tag on, or send me a tell anytime so we can plan something ahead of time that works for us both.
 
I'm a little shy when it comes to walk-ups or joining group RP on my own, so if you're checking out my Carrd, I'd really appreciate a tell to break the ice and set something up! I’d love if you let me know directly that you’d like to RP, I’m not great at picking up subtle hints, so being straightforward really helps me understand you’re reaching out to collab! If I don’t reply or seem to vanish, it’s almost always because I got distracted or busy, not because I’m ignoring you. A gentle poke or second message is completely okay with me.
 
I have had Karma for quite some time now and love putting him in various situations and seeing him grow. Thank you for taking a look at my character carrd!


 Fav Themes

I am open to trying/enjoying all themes!


Disclaimer:Zansetsu is based loosely upon the Yokai "Namija" Zansetsu is a character who I have written to take some creative liberties with the in-game lore which allows some flexibility for how he fits into the ff14 universe. While he does possess a spiritual essence, he is not a god. I've made an effort to ensure he isn't overpowered. Instead, he has a well-rounded mix of strengths and vulnerabilities and weaknesses. His abilities are meaningful but not limitless, and his flaws play just as important of a role in his development as his strengths do. Conflict is an essential part of his story, I do not shy away and enjoy placing him in challenging situations where his limits and morals are tested and his character can truly grow.More information on "Namija"

"That's it and that's all."
