Emet-Selch | Final Fantasy XIV (Endwalker)

OOC INFORMATION.
NAME: Ellana (Cherry)
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] circadia, flightstone (Discord) or PM
ABOUT YOU: Cat mom and professional daydreamer (in truth I have a customer service/sales/graphic design job - yes, all three combined). My hobbies include art, playing video games, reading/writing and collecting rocks. Main fandom is FFXIV, but I also like the Tales of series and cute shoujo manga like Yona of the Dawn and Tokyo Mew Mew. Currently playing through Baldur's Gate 3 and becoming increasingly curious about D&D and Renaissance faires. Timezone is EST. Tagging speed can be a bit all over the place, but if you would like to set a certain pace for comfort or continuity reasons, please let me know. I tend to fill out brackets with inner dialogue and meta.

IC INFORMATION.
Emet-Selch
AGE: Hundreds or thousands of years old. We really don't know.
CANON: Final Fantasy XIV
CANON POINT: Elpis After locating and surrounding Meteion, but before things go completely sour. He'd just pointed out to Hermes that the question and the mission he gave to his creation was flawed, after they learn of the dead civilizations the Meteia witnessed. All of which is to say he comes in pre-villain arc, with all of his memories of Elpis up until that point intact..

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER: Emet-Selch is one of fourteen representatives of his world's governing body, his duties being those that involve the Underworld (ie. aetherial sea or afterlife) and his ability to see souls. He's a powerful mage (or was before the power nerf) and spends much of his free time wrangling his two gremlin friends. At first meeting, he can be quite prickly and grumpy, but one will soon learn that he's a rather sentimental sort who will cave to the whims of others if he feels the issue warrants his attention (and if others ask nicely enough). He's passionate about theatre, magicks, good literature and long naps in the park.
USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application

EVENT PLOTTING: Emet-Selch will be cosplaying as Solus zos Galvus (ie. himself from Stormblood/Shadowbringers) and will begin taking on much more theatrical personality traits, walk with a slouch, etc. While he won't have all of his memories of Garlemald, he will draw upon what little he has learned via others to try and re-craft this character for himself. Congratulations, your city now has an emperor. You're welcome.
OTHER PLANS: Nothing particular, but seeing as Emet-Selch is popular in his own fandom (oocly at least), feel free to have your character locate related merchandise if you wish. Personally, I'm hoping Emet will be going home with a Grani plush because his demon lizard horse is the goodest boy.
CONTENT WARNING: Garlemald is an imperialistic nation with a history of subjugating its neighbors, and in this role Emet-Selch will likely start to dehumanize others (Ancients excluded) as he was wont to do in order to justify the Ascians' plans. Topics such as death, murder, war, planet-wide destruction and bodysnatching may come up. If those are sensitive topics for you, please let me know so that we can avoid them, and/or if you'd feel better opting out entirely.
