▶ personal history
─────
Alder comes from deep within the Shroud, born to a family of wayward Keepers. They raised him without a name, and in his youth offered him to the Lambs of Dalamud in a fervent hope to appease Menphina. The cultists kept him barely breathing to steal his blood for their rituals, poisoning his body and soul with the mark of voidsent.
By some blessed miracle, the Wood Wailers drove the cultists out of the den and retrieved Alder, bringing him to a home in Gridania where he began learning to live. The mark of the voidsent could not be removed, and his overall health and strength declined, but Alder survived the ordeal and discovered an ability. His hands wove marks into other’s bodies, promoting healing but leaving behind creeping patterns that he feared thinned the aether where they touched.
He wished nothing more than to heal, to undo the pain others’ wrought as had been wrought unto him, but the conjurers could not teach him, and they forbid him from using this newfound ability. Alder eventually left Gridania, seeking answers for his cursed soul and for his lost family. He journeyed to the Dravanian Forelands, where he found solace in Tailfeather among the hunters. They introduced him to the soothing pleasures of fogweed, and the thrill of a drawn bowstring.

• When Referring to Self
"Greetings, I’m called Alder by some, Nox by others. You may call me either.”
• When Addressing Others
“By what name may I call you, dear? Would you like me to fetch you something to drink?”
“You’re an odd one, aren’t you, dear?”
“Oh love, I don’t have any family. From moonlight I walked into the realm… so to speak.”
• When Addressing Groups
“If you would all follow me, I’ll show you to your rooms... huh? This room is unavailable, not like I thought. To the next one, then.”

▶ skills, tastes, etc

• Martial Prowess
Alder uses a bow and arrow to hit foes from afar, but has a limited amount of endurance due to a weak constitution. When not wielding a bow, he uses many small, poison-tipped needles and knives concealed on his person to fight in a melee range. Alder is incapable of most magicks outside of a cursory amount of healing which is applied through dark marks he temporarily plants on the body.
• Alcohol
Alder does not enjoy drinking and finds it to be a waste of time compared to smoking, his preferred vice and pastime. However, he will not deny drinks in a social setting. He prefers most rums, and mainly smokes Vath fogweed over moko grass.
• Cuisine
Alder eats a lot of grilled meat, mainly beef and lamb, mixed with herbs and huge helpings of vegetables. He also enjoys stews and pies, including dessert pies, but he’s not a fan of most other sweets. He detests fish in all forms.
• Romantic Inclinations
Alder likes bold, courageous men, and has a curious relationship with physical intimacy.

OOC

Hi, thanks for reading my character carrd! I am 25+ and looking for other adults to RP with!
Please understand that IC is not OOC and vice versa. If there is an issue, please communicate with me.
I am okay with RPing short and long-term and I'm okay with fluff, dark, mature, lighthearted, etc types of RP. Alder's themes lean more dark and mature, so please be aware of this.
I will not RP NSFW with underage people or underage characters.
I would prefer NSFW encounters have some build up beforehand. Additionally, please ask me OOC before doing any RP involving permanent damage, this includes death.
If I am standing there ingame, I'm probably AFK or more likely than not I am people-watching. Feel free to send a /tell!
