☇ you would stand in the room so still sometimes, so wordless sometimes, as if the greatest betrayal of yourself would be to reveal one more inch of your character.

A retired gleaner from Sharlayan who has found himself in the employ of private contractors post retirement. Usually lurking about the room smoke hanging from the corner of his lips like a toothpick, a scowl being his usual expression with a mouth to match. Accent still thick even after his exile, most fail or struggle to understand him. He will grumpily switch to proper pronunciation of his words should someone be confused, but he will speak slower due to having to move his mouth in not normal ways

" Love is awful. It’s awful. It’s painful. It’s frightening. It makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. It makes you selfish. It makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do. It’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. So no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. I was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. People talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. But I’m not sure that’s true. It takes strength to know what’s right. And love isn’t something that weak people do. Being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. I think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope. "
the soul.
the personality dependent on who was asked would be the answer given on how best to describe Bjel's personality. He's an ass, he's incredibly sweet, an effective worker, does nothing but complain about his list of errands.. It truly is dependent on which employer is giving the review.
underneath the grumpy exterior; is an old viera who misses his home. he may have left effectively like most do being an exile and shot on sight should he set foot in his tribe's territory again. it's been hundreds of years since he last saw the vast and deep green of his home having traveled the star many times over during his gleaner days. places have come close. but there's no place like home.
& key items.
important items commonly found in their inventory.
dragoon job stone
why bjel has this stone is unknown. a gift from a former employer? a treasure he stumbled upon when he would have to deep dive into ruins mayhaps? a former wood warder would have no use for such a thing even if his preferred weapon of choice is a lance.asking the old bat about it will not get you any sort of answers. just a quick subject change or him walking away from the conversation.
reading glasses
one part about growing older that bjel cannot seem to avoid. dependent on the size of the text he will reach into a suit pocket to pull these bad boys out to be able to clearly read whatever is written.he doesn't pull them out often and uses them usually at home or in the presence of trusted company. an old man has to keep up appearances doesn't he?
handmade leatherbound journal
a journal mayhaps? it is handmade and well-worn. clearly something that is opened and closed almost every day. a reference manual of some kind? bjel is never without it having it tucked away somewhere on his person and something that one could find him reading through.trying to take this away from him will result in a deep growl from his chest before he attempts to maim whoever is holding it. best to ask before you take.
feather
usually tucked away in the journal on his person, this feather is immaculately maintained, either by magical means or he preserving it for something. it clearly means the world to this rava and something he takes the care to hide away.This feather is no longer on his person tucked away in his journal, it has been given as the courting gift it is meant to be to the person he is courting!mayhaps a token of a former lover? from his tribe?
the history.
born to a village deep in the gulmore jungle, bjel's childhood and early life is a tale as old as time; he was in his village until he came of age, and like most viera puberty determined whether he remained in the village or was going to be sent to train to become a wood warder. it was the last time for a long time he would see his mother.the trials and the culture he became a part of outside of his village is one he misses now in his old age. He never took a city name when he left, his curiosity about the world past the edges of the jungle having called him to explore, keeping his tribe's given name to allow those who wanted to ask questions to have them answered.he will never admit it out loud, unless with intent prying and trust for the person asking, how he misses being in The Green. though he would change nothing about his path and decisions that lead him to where he is now.
after a long and sometimes dangerous time serving the studium and the forum of Sharlayan as one of the countless gleaners at their beck and call, he has countless stories of his travels and how annoyed he was with the city's requests of him and his fellow guildmates. from the frozen wastes to the burning deserts his scarred and sun-tanned skin tells you the story of the adventures he found himself in.present day he is now retired. but finds himself still doing what he was doing before. lists after lists coming from his different employers. as much as he complains about the work underneath it all he is grateful to have something to occupy his hands and his mind.

the fury's flask he tends to wander when the doors are open due to a certain rava who is on staff there who gifted him a nickname that he adores is annoyed by. the shroud the closest thing that reminds him of home. After effect the men's bar he works at as a host, and the closest thing he would consider to a home outside of Svaral's tribe and his kin. He may seem like the staff annoys him but he would be willing to risk his life to protect them.
former ward warder
the only thing that remains of his armor from those days is the bracers he wears when he goes hunting.
scarred
one of his ears is permanently lopped and deaf, and he will not respond to you should you speak to him on that side. he cannot hear you.his body is covered in scars from his deep delving into ruins and other perilous places. they sometimes bother him on bad days.
black sclera
The scerla of his eyes are like an endless void, which causes his irises to look like they glow in most lighting. They seem to not bother him, like he is very much used to them by now in his old age.

about me *
Heya! Name's Kenji! This is an experimental alt of mine. Thank you for checking him out.I've been roleplaying over various platforms for over ten years at this point so I'm not new to the game, but still am getting used to the formatting for FFXIV.I work full time and on first shift at my job, meaning my days begin at about 6am or so. You will mainly only be able to catch me at venues for rp time, unless I have a day off and we have something scheduled.I can rp either in game or via discord but please understand if we do write in discord it will be more slow-moving and will have periods of lull. I only have so much energy in a day and most of it is drained by my job.Please understand that I do have other writing partners and I do not tolerate jealousy over me trying to split my time evenly between them.I usually am running on about mayhaps three or four hours of sleep and as much as I would love to dedicate my time outside of work to rping, I will more than likely be gposing or idling in game. I run low on spoons a lot.If all of that is cool? Awesome! Discord handle is, mynameiskrisv if you want to contact me about meeting the boy or another one of my rp characters.If not, thank you for checking him out and I hope you have a wonderful day!

wood warder
› requirements: viera, common.
if one spots him while he's out completing his errands they would notice and recognize his ward warder armored bracers. they are the only thing that remains of his former life before he left the jungle and came to the rest of the world. he will speak fondly of his home should he be feeling sentimental. his name is also an indication he is a tribal viera.
gleaner
› requirements: ties to sharlayan, common-uncommon.
with more than 250 years of service to the sharlayan gleaners guild he would have been spotted anywhere in the city and outside it running his lists through. he's good at his job and still does it to this day though for personal contractors. old bat can't kick the habit.
scars
› requirements: eyeballs.
bjel is covered in deep scarring all over his body from his travels. his flopped ear and the deep claw marks are usually the ones people notice first before the scars on his face. if one is curious enough he will gladly tell you what gave him what. sometimes his hands shake due to the damage his hands have taken over the years and he tends to be extra grumpy on those days.
svaral su'ene
a fellow tribal rava that he stumbled across one night working at LRA. after asking for a light the two of them got into simple conversation, ending with walking off in the same direction for the eve. since then bjel finds the rava's company pleasant tolerable. gifted him the name of old bat.he has thus since became one of the few people that bjel will actively seek out to be in the presence of. The man soothes him, and welcomes him in a way that makes the word 'home' ring out on his head when they are together. His kin and his tribe he will protect with his life. His Ol' Man, so to say.
relationship type Courting | Partner
Kis Vrai-Flowa
One of Svaral's kin that approached him at a lake party. He was quick to understand that this one knew of him due to his connection to the Tribal King, and soon found himself wishing to protect him like a father would his kits. Kis is one of the few who can bring the soft side of him to the foreground, where he shows his full range of emotions. His Li'tle Flower, shining the brightest when he's speaking of his plants and his flowers. He would protect this lad with his life or die trying.
relationship type Tribe | His Li'tle Flower
Tribe Su'ene
Svaral's kin and tribe. A group of people he is coming to view as his own. They are what he has been missing in his old age. That sense of community and family.

lord mael-olivier d'auvergne
one of his private employers who sends him lists to complete. materials for his ball jointed dolls. bjel may complain about some of the materials this needy little lord requires of him but he cannot deny the perks.

relationship type employer.
Marceloix "Marcel" Chatelfort
One of the few elezens he can stand outside of his employers for his private contracts. Coworkers from a former venue, he was drug along by Marcel to After Effect where he found that the man was company he could tolerate with how much they had in common with their viewpoints. The pirate captain may be one of the few he would consider a friend.
