Bio

Hailing from everywhere and nowhere, Vadoma Kymenos was born in Radz-at-Han to refugee Xaela parents during the invasion of Doma, and once she was old enough to travel they made their way to Eorzea, where she has remained since. Growing up on the road, her parents put on performances wherever they went, Vadoma learning her own skills to contribute to their little carnival as she grew.When she was still young, they encountered a young Ala Mhigan refugee boy wandering Thanalan, named Gerhart; they took him in, and to this day she still regards him as her brother.(WIP)

Gerhart "Hart" Stanislav
☙ Adopted older brother.
☙ Thinks the world of him but also loves teasing him, as little sisters do.

Archidamus Khrysamus
☙ Friend, tailor, dear traveling companion to-be.
☙ A traveling artesan she's had the pleasure of crossing paths with numerous times. She recently proposed they travel together; gods know what they'll get up to following the same path.

Emrys Atoel
☙ Friend and favorite gay bartender.
☙ He showed her a lot of generosity an Ul'dah trip or two ago and now he's the first person she looks to catch up with when she's in town.

Hooks

Wanderer ☙ Vadoma loves life on the road, and is always happy to have company between towns.Diaspora ☙ Having been raised in Eorzea, Vadoma's parents did well to keep what Steppe traditions they could in their travels, but what cannot be kept or replaced is the homeland she didn't get to know as a child. She loves to interact with other Xaela, and learn more about what she missed out on.Performances ☙ Vadoma doesn't just love performing, but also watching other performers. She's often found taking in a bard or busker in the bigger cities.Fortune Telling ☙ Vadoma has a talent for reading fortunes, and will pull her cards out for most anyone who asks. She asks a fee for some, but never for those in dire straits for want of answers. (Let me know if there are certain themes or archetypes you want to come up in a reading!)Social Butterfly ☙ Vadoma loves to party and be among crowds. If you know of any parties, she wants to be there.

OOC Info

(and also some important boundaries)

☙ I do not RP with minors, full stop. If I catch you lying about your age in any manner, I will block you.☙ Be patient with me as I am new to FFXIV! I have been roleplaying for 15 years but Hydaelyn is a very new world to me, with lots of lore to learn all at once.☙ I love playing out romance and exploring mature themes with Vadoma, but I take the boundaries between IC and OOC very seriously. Even if Vadoma is always open to new partners and relationships, I am not, and I do not entertain character bleed in my RP partners.☙ If our scene is going to be longer and more involved, I generally prefer Discord so I can take my time on replies. Don't be surprised if I send you my handle early into knowing you!
