Exactly who Silent Requiem was before she became "Silent Requiem" is a bit of a mystery. Some digging will provide you with a name (Zahrswys Eyristyrwyn) and a background working with the Empire, but the woman now couldn't be more different from a former conscript. Vibrant, vivacious, and relaxed, she's generally in a good mood and is eager to spread that good cheer to others. Silent is known to be a rather well-renowned author of a murder mystery series, the Candlelit Mysteries. These stories feature a Hyur detective who runs into the most colorful of characters all while solving increasingly bizarre murders. Though there are six books in the series so far, Silent is always writing more.She's also eager to learn more about magic and anything that might garner her more power ― one of the few hold overs from her time as a conscript. She loathes the feeling of being helpless and seeks power to prevent herself from ever falling into such a situation again, although her fascination with the Void and all things related may not be nearly as academic as she might claim...Regardless of who exactly she is, Silent is an easy person to be around. And in the end, isn't that what matters most? Who really cares who she once was? She certainly doesn't!

* hooks.

simple

  • mercenary.  Silent takes on odd jobs all the time, often tasking her with dangerous fights that she could use a hand with. If you need a hand, she'll help ― for the right price, of course!

  • writer.  Maybe you're a fan of the Candlelit Mystery series or perhaps you're an aspiring writer? Silent always has a thing or two to share, and she's always delighted to chat about her work.

  • magic and power.  Do you have any connection to any sort of power or magic that may prove interesting? Silent is always on the lookout to learn more.

  • music and culture.  Silent has a natural ear for music; she greatly loves learning about others' music and culture, so please talk to her about it!

  • entertainment.  Silent can often be found at the local tavern or pub, getting a drink or just people-watching. She's always interested in the crowds these places draw and new faces are always nice!

details

  • what i'm looking for.  I have a preference for focusing on adventures or simple (pve) combat rather than slice of life. Starting conversations and get-to-know-yous are expected, of course, but I like having more of a focus on plot and/or character development!

  • romance.  Silent is pan with a slight preference for masculinity, and she tends to be very comfortable in her sexuality. She likes to have flings more than relationships, but I would love to explore this more. I'd prefer to discuss this before we dive right in! If you'd like to ship with Silent, let me know and we can see how character development and the like goes! Please note that I will not play out erp, but I'm fine using it as a backdrop for a scene, etc.

  • expectations and experience.  I come from forums/journal rp (if you're familiar with those) and have a lot of experience over the years with paragraph format. There's probably going to be some bumps in the road as I get used to mmo rp, so please feel free to let me know if I'm doing something odd!
