A defiant Xaela Au Ra and promising young warrior, forced to move to Ishgard at the age of fifteen because of a sale contract made by his parents. He decided to stay and never return. Instead of a warrior and hunter of the Steppe he grew up to be a skillful swordsman and medic, and devoted his life to hunting individuals who destabilize the peace of Ishgard.
Formerly known as Timur Oronir | 54-year-old male | Height 210cm | Biromantic demisexual | Chaotic neutral | Paladin, inquisitor, medic/healer
APPEARANCE: Black scleras and irises, white limbal rings. Long, straight, silvery gray hair, usually combed back. Angular features, long nose, high cheekbones. Narrow lips, often cracked, slightly darker than his usual, pale grayish purple skin color. Natural, dark markings around eyes, long fingers, black claws. Slender but masculine build, somewhat toned. Two visible, thick scars go almost across his right eye, one from each side.
PERSONALITY: Distant and reserved. Usually polite, but if disrespected, has a tendency to be very sarcastic. Although he may talk a lot, he's very careful with his words. Knowledge is power, and he has learned the hard way the more people have personal information about him, the more likely it is to be used against him. He of course has his friendly side, too, but he shows it rarely - most often accidentally - and usually regrets it right or soon after.
Varg’s parents were both warriors of the Oronir tribe, but they weren’t in a too good spot in their hierarchy. They were average fighters and hunters, but they didn't stand out in any way. Varg, who had always been ambitious, hated his family’s degrading position and proving himself in the eyes of his tribe became his obsession.
Not long after he was old enough to understand what an axe was, it soon became an extension to his hand. He practiced daily, swearing he’d become one of the tribe’s most feared warriors. He wasn’t the only one who eventually started to see results. Unlike his parents, who had quietly gotten used to and accepted their fate, Varg became popular among other warriors, both young and old.
He had a simple dream: to run, ride and hunt with his kin. His parents didn’t share this dream however. They saw a better opportunity beyond the sea in the cold land of the north, beside a wealthy elezen man they had recently made a contract of sale with. Varg wasn’t old enough so that his opinion would’ve mattered.
Varg never had too warm or close relationship with his parents, but their attempt to manipulate him, robbing him of the life he had planned for himself and cutting him off from all his friends and mentors distanced him from them for good. After arriving to Ishgard he refused to keep in contact with his parents or send them any gil he earned. For reasons yet unknown he was still allowed to stay in his master's manor, which he eventually inherited.
Not much is known about his twenties in Isghard. He found a wife – an elezen – and they married. She died a few years later under suspicious circumstances. Nobles of Ishgard are still speculating what actually happened. Varg was accused of her murder, yet he has never confessed the crime. It's commonly known he spent two weeks in custody, and it's rumored that after his release his personality had drastically changed.
During the years he managed to gain a stable foothold in the city. Shortly after his wife's death Varg enlisted in the military, and he's still working for them. Depending what is needed of him, he does either paladin or healer duties either at the front lines or in the city. He's also a member of the inquisition and runs an unofficial private clinic in his manor for outlaws and other cases who for one reason or another don't want to get their problems taken care of at public hospital.
If you're after an open-minded, kind and considerate friend, then keep looking. Varg is suspicious of everyone and warms up to others very slowly or not at all. However, if it's a distant and professional manner of approach that you want, then he's your man. He may not be the best friend material, but usually he's quite easy to get along with. He's a soldier, public officer and doctor. A true customer servant who has honed his patience close to perfection.
During his years of service he's seen it all, and is able to keep cool no matter how badly his companions or patients would've managed to get themselves mangled. In case you got an injury or illness you need treated but want to keep it a secret, Varg doesn’t keep public records of his patients and won’t ask unnecessary questions. If he does, it’s only for the sake of the treatment, not for his curiosity. His customers' secrets go to the grave with him.
He's also eager to check out any leads he gets for keeping Ishgard a peaceful place, and people are never the same once he’s done with them, guilty or not. In case you happen to have someone you want to rat out, he's listening. Or perhaps it's yourself who's got caught and you made demands to the nearest guard to go and fetch their superior, so that you can explain there has been some mistake and you shouldn't be here in the first place?
In case you're in need of a companion to get a job done that requires knowledge in swordplay or healing, that can be done. Varg usually spends most of his time in Ishgard, but it's not unheard of him being asked to travel somewhere else to carry out an assignment, or himself just picking up a job undone that may earn him some extra gil. His position in ishgardian society nowadays is quite good compared to what he started from, but he's by no means at the top. He's got bosses and superiors as well, and he's not so important he'd be strictly tied to one place.
Slice of life in genral isn't so much my cup of tea. I'm more into longer storylines. However, I'm totally into slice of life for testing the waters first and find out do our characters have any kind of synergy between them and do they even get along before diving into longer RP. If he's had an evening or night shift, Varg often finishes it with shot or two, or a cig or two in the nearest tavern.
I prefer discord and tumblr over in game RP. My replies tend to get long or I may have to leave abruptly. I also like the freedom of these platforms for being able to answer whenever I have time.
I'm not a native english speaker, so in case I make grammatical errors, please consider them mine and not his.
I don't usually ship. ERP or other sexual themes I don't do at all. I'm ace, simply not interested and I probably couldn't even write such things authentically. We should also be very close friends for me to even consider a ship.
Pretty much everything else can be done as long as it's necessary for character development, in general makes sense and if it's something major, it's been discussed and agreed on beforehand.
If you're under 18, please stay away. Although I don't actively go seeking for trouble for my characters, their storylines tend to become more or less dark sooner or later, and I don't want angry parents after me for traumatizing their kids.
If I'm not answering fast enough for you, at the usual pace or seem uninterested: worry not, because that's probably not the case. When something bad is going on IRL, it has a direct effect on my creativity and sociability. I avoid both RP and people altogether if I'm not feeling well.
I don't ghost people. If I seem inactive, just assume I'm busy or having some sort of crisis at my end. Or even better: ask, if it bothers you.
For me RP is NOT a place to escape, vent or do introspection etc. It's merely a hobby. My characters are like friends to me I'm writing stories about. RP is supposed to be fun and entertaining and I want to offer my partners quality, not some half-hearted scribbles just because of a sense of duty to answer asap.
Should be a no-brainer but please keep IC and OOC separate. IC drama is fine as long as there's a reason for it and it's not constant. Towards OOC drama I have zero tolerance.
Racists, zealots, LGBTQ+ phobics and the like: don't even bother contacting me. Since I'm on my way to hell and below you as a human being and yada yada, there's no reason why we would want to RP together, right?
CONTACT: in game or tumblr. If requested, I'll give my discord if we know each other at least superficially or have RPd before.
