Net Svartr

The Confidant | Carrd

There are few secrets between Rhela and Net, and they share a high level of trust as a result. Part business partner and part guard dog, she is rarely far from him when they’re somewhere together.

Alma Cre'denar

The Archon | Carrd

Close friend and part-time roommate, Alma is one of Rhela's oldest connections in Eorzea. Despite leading wildly different lives, the two have a strong bond and can frequently be found out and about at bars, fight clubs, and the occasional library.

Shadecross

The Former Employer | Carrd

While Rhela worked for Nikklaus at one point, her current connection to the head of the Undercity is unclear.

Azure Moon

Venue | Bartender | Carrd

The Azure Moon Lounge is a recent project. Owned by the Network, Rhela tends bar and keeps the peace on open nights. Her customer service has not improved, but her drinks are still excellent.

The Network

Organization | Affiliated | Carrd

Established by Net Svartr, the Network is Rhela's primary business. Her responsibilities vary, but there is very little she does not have a hand in.

COMMON

  • Rhela is a known associate of several criminal organizations in both Ul’dah and Ishgard.

  • This xaela has earned herself lifetime bans from many of Ul’dah’s bars, and her ban count in Eorzea's other cities is growing quickly.

UNCOMMON

  • Valued for both her discretion and effectiveness in handling “problems”, Rhela is not unknown to Ul’dah’s wealthy elite - from merchants to members of the Syndicate.

  • A former Garlean conscript was taken in by the Brass Blades following a brawl with a group of Ala Mhigans on Pearl Lane. When questioned, the xaela refused to say anything but “lawyer”. All involved parties were later released, and no official arrests were made.

VERY RARE

(Ask First)

  • The Brass Blades are seeking information on a dark haired xaela in connection with an explosion at an illegal alchemy operation.

  • An Ishgardian noble was murdered in the Jeweled Crozier. Some days before, a person of interest matching Rhela’s description was seen in the Forgotten Knight in the company of the deceased’s brother.

  • (want to say something about her? good, bad, or ugly? reach out)

ABOUT

  •   OOC.  I go by Wren/Aly, but will also answer to Rhela's name. They/She. Old and queer as fuck.

  •   IN GAME.  Crystal DC. I live in the EU so my hours are a little funky. If you catch me online, I am almost always available to RP. Just ask! If you don't get a response to /s, poke me with a tell.

  •   MARE.  Available to RP partners on request.

  •   DISCORD.  #cactuswren | Due to my timezone, I am also open to Discord RP. Please feel free to reach out!

RULES

  •   ONE.  18+ only, 21+ preferred. I will not write with minors (IC or OOC).

  •   TWO.  No romantic relationships. No ERP outside of established plots and connections.

  •   THREE.  I am not my character and my character is not me. Any opinions, political ideologies, behaviors, etc. are in character and in context. Please be able to separate the two.

  •   FOUR.  I have a preference for darker and more mature themes. Consent and communication are important for any long-term plots.

  •   FIVE.  Respect and communicate any boundaries and limits, and I will do the same

Limits

  •   Death.  Permanent character death for Rhela is a hard no. Near misses are negotiable.

  •   Long Term/Permanent Injury.  Ok with discussion.

  •   Antagonist.  She makes a very, very good antagonist and I am super happy to play it. Let's talk!

Looking For

  •   Business Connections.  As a mercenary and dealer, Rhela is always looking for people to do business with.

  •   Garlean Haters.  This can go multiple directions. Rhela makes an excellent target/punching bag for those with a grudge. She is also a great catalyst for character development if you want your character to move past their hatred.

CONTENT WARNINGS

  •   VIOLENCE.  Whether she likes you or hates you, Rhela is prone to picking fights. She does not shy from violent interactions, and my writing may be graphic in places. This includes discussions of subjects like injuries, fights, hunting, and the occasional murder.

  •   THEMES.  Many of my role plays and plots revolve around mature topics including but not limited to: sexual themes, drugs and addiction, past and current trauma, manipulation and abuse, and the effects of war and imperialism. Your boundaries will always, always be respected, but unless they are communicated I have no way of knowing them.

  •   POLITICS.  Please see rule three. Rhela does not usually discuss her history with the Garlean empire, and will not bring it up at all in uncertain company. However. If it does come up there will be things that look and sound like apologia for imperialism, fascism, the military-industrial complex, and Garlean- and canon-typical racism. This is intentional. The effects of propaganda and indoctrination are alive and well in her personality. I, as the writer, will not be offended by negative reactions to her. I will also not be offended if you chose not to interact. Curate your experiences and do what sparks joy.
