OOC Info

Please be 21+
I'm not interested in interacting with players or characters that are under 21!No IC/OOC bleed
We aren't our characters, and I'm not looking to write with partners that have difficulty separating the two. Let's keep it casual!Please be patient with me!
My life can be busy at times, so I won't always be available. Linking up in-game can be tough for me at times, though writing on discord is a lot easier for me to manage!Communication is key
I'm just looking to write together with some like-minded folks and have a good time! Clear communication is a must. Please keep in mind that if at any point I feel uncomfortable, I may politely excuse myself.No bigotry
Doesn't get any more simple than that. Homophobia, transphobia, racism-- any bigotry at all need not apply.

Thank you for taking the time to read through my carrd! I really appreciate your interest!I prefer my character(s) be discovered organically, so these pages contain only what would mostly be public knowledge. Sylve's history is rich and fleshed out, so I encourage you to dig in and uncover his secrets!I adhere to the world and setting of XIV to the best of my ability, and prefer my partners share that preference. I really enjoy characters who are firmly rooted in lore, and don't toe the power-fantasy line too hard. I don't mind a bit of well-founded creativity, though, so long as it's reasonable to the setting!I can match writing styles to whatever pace, though I prefer writing in paragraphs. I'm open to in-game and discord RP, though I enjoy utilizing both!

Feel free to contact me on discord @Sylvelowen!Timezone: CST (Generally available 6:00pm~1:00am on weekdays, more so on weekends.)

To most, Sylve is little more than a simple soul. Warm and amiable, he's rarely seen without a gentle countenance. Though he carries himself with confidence, he does little to make waves, and enjoys the peace that comes alongside a low profile. He appears to cherish even the most mundane of moments in his day to day life, finding awe and wonder in that which might otherwise be overlooked by most. Sylve lives in the moment, for the future is ever unwritten.A rather unorthodox upbringing left the Hyur with a deeply rooted appreciation for the numerous cultures and peoples of the star, and as such, he is an overwhelmingly open-minded individual. This, doubled with having spent the better part of his adult life on the road, has given him the opportunity to immerse himself in countless ways of life. Some might say Sylve is remarkably well traveled for his age, having set foot upon nearly every major continent in some capacity.Altruistic to a fault, he finds himself inherently drawn to those in need. From tasks as simple as helping a farmer haul in their harvest, to ensuring the safety of a traveling caravan, no job is too big or small - nor the reward. Be it a fair wage in coin, a roof over his head on a rainy night, or even a homecooked meal, price is rarely a concern for the humble wayfarer - though it would appear he favors the latter.His heart beats for adventure. To chase the boundless horizon, and bear witness to all that lies hidden across the star. His love of travel is pure and unadulterated; where some might see adventuring as a means to an end, to Sylve, the journey is the destination.On occasion, however, his carefully constructed facades might betray themselves, offering up the faintest glimpse at a soul both weary and worn. His fatigued eyes carry a heavy burden, an all-too-familiar sight in a world filled with strife.

The Gunbreaker

An uncommon sight of the modern age, Lowen bears the trappings of a true and tried Gunbreaker upon his shoulders. Though he often shirks away from the details in regards to how this came to pass, it's clear enough to any versed in the history of the art that his skill comes from it's source: the Hrothgar. True to form, he wields his Gunblade in service to the people of the star, offering protection to those in need. Coincidentally, he has always found himself possessed of an insatiable wanderlust - a perfect fit for his choice of profession. Bound by oath, he carries with himself an unwavering devotion to the code of honor instilled in him by his mentor.

A knight of the people, for the people. A soul made gunmetal.
