listen to the sound of your heartbeat;
growing louder, gaining speed.[  001  ]  :  MANNERS moss is nonbinary. their pronouns are primarily  they/them , but it ultimately doesn't matter to them if someone calls them a man. they are a Knight, and that is what is important. outside of writing, they should be referred to with  they/them  only.[  002  ]  :  BLEED ic =/= ooc. my character's actions do not reflect me, and i am not my character. if, for any reason, something bothers you while we are writing then do not hesitate to let me know. in turn, if i set a boundary, i sincerely expect it to be respected.

[  003  ]  :  CONTENT i am comfortable with most forms and topics of roleplay, but i would prefer if i was warned before more sensitive topics (i.e., sexual assault, animal death, excessive descriptions of gore, etc.) are brought up as a  focal point in writing or plotlines. 

[  004  ]  :  CONTENT+ due to the possible themes that may come up in interactions,  i will only write with people and characters that are 21+ . i do not make any exceptions. for clarity's sake, mature scenes are off the table unless there is an established relationship beforehand.[  005  ]  :  TIME i would prefer to plan interactions in advance, as i cannot guarantee i will always have the energy to write. obviously, you can approach me when my tag is on, but i am open to scheduling plans for future days.

vices:martyrism.

quiet and dark yet ever present in the background,  MOSS RAINCATCHER  stands out clearly compared to others across the star. even with their lean build, their heavy footfalls are distinct enough to hear from across the room— the rattling of plate armor signaling the knight's presence long before one sees them. in spite of this, somehow, they are able to sneak away from the spotlight as if they were never there at all.in contrast to the dark and thorny exterior they present themselves with,  MOSS  is approachable enough in passing. while more reserved than outspoken, they are nonetheless friendly and open to conversation to any who may be interested. even though their expressions can be difficult to read at times, particularly due to the mask, they make a conscious effort to speak freely and openly.it's not uncommon to find the knight close to adventurer guilds, taking any leves or requests that are far too dangerous for an overeager greenhorn to take on.  MOSS  is a tough and efficient sellsword that has little regard for their own wellbeing, so long as the job is done. bodyguard, hunting, even scouting; if their aid is enlisted, they aim well not to disappoint.

currently,  MOSS RAINCATCHER  is employed by malaguld medical to aid the clinic's business however they can; providing gil for the baths or taking out threats to other clients should any become trouble. in return, the clinic has become akin to a second home to the knight with friends and family both under the clinic's watchful eye.if not preoccupied with a job,  MOSS  is more likely than not in a quiet corner of the star tending to old wounds. the knight considers themselves an active sort, never staying in one place for very long and rarely spending their free time idle. whether upkeeping their gear's condition or maintaining their body's physique, the veena enjoys keeping busy with the little things in their life.like any sellsword worth their name in gil,  MOSS  tucks away any desirable secrets deep within their heart; their sins, their wants, and their mistakes. all hidden in order to sleep at night. they are human, after all. alive, as any other.perhaps it is easier to deny such a fact.

FRIEND-

 LAVENDER SOLACE  : cold-hearted knight,  friend. one would not be at fault for mistaking that the pair disliked each other— or worse, considered the other as an enemy. the constant bickering and harsh jabs can be unsightly to some, though below the surface lies unwavering loyalty to the other. RANAEUS WESTKNIGHT  : immortal flame,  friend. few hearts burn brighter than the one within this free paladin; one they've bore witness to, for the better. he is a stalwart ally, both on and off the battlefield, and the veena cherishes their friendship with this knight more than most others. RIDLEY SAMAL  : lente's finest,  friend.         true leadership lies in the love and care of a country's people and, subsequently, their future. this belief shines brightly within the dalmascan, and as such they provide their services as often as she has need of them for her best interests. KAI SUNCHASER  : despicable doman,  friend.   there are a select few capable of getting under the knight's skin.  KAI  is one of them. despite their frustration with his goading and pestering, their true feelings are betrayed by the fondness in their smile and the melancholy behind their eyes.

-SHIPS.

 ZUMIE-FAE  : whimsical smithy,  partner.       rare are the times where this miqo'te is far from their side, of which they show no opposition. from the armor they adorn, to the weapons they wield, every piece of equipment is a gift from her forge to ensure they will be at their very best. KAITO NAGANO  : auspicious bastard,  friend.   contrary to popular(?) belief, this particular man is far from "just a normal chef". with an easy smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes, one can never be sure what the mind behind those shades is thinking. while he remains ever elusive in the present, as sure as the sun sets... YESUI MALAGULD  : gales unrelenting,  friend.   dependable, lethal, and a good time to be around; she is a strong confidant that they would entrust with their life. the duo can be found often drinking together, or continuously pushing each other to improve, breaking every limit they can. LYDIA RODA  : untamed mischief,  friend.   understanding the bond between the two can be a complicated mess, but there is evidently a modicum of trust that rests between them. while as unruly and unpredictable as a leaf in the wind, she is still family and will be protected as such.

[  COMMON  ]  :  FAMILIAR their silhouette is hard to mistake, sticking out like a shadow among the light, commonly seen roaming the markets of ishgard or resting within the walls of the quicksand. if not their figure, then their blade.[  COMMON  ]  :  SELLSWORD what good is a blade if not put to use? whether for protection, intimidation, or just plain action, the knight is worth every gil spent for their services. just don't expect them to do everything you ask— they have their reservations on certain tasks given.

[  COMMON  ]  :  TO BE SOMEONE a knight's good deed seldom goes unnoticed— and they are well-known for the small acts they've done for others. perhaps their name has been mentioned by a mutual friend, or that yours rings a bell to them.[  UNCOMMON  ]  :  AETHERSENSE an abnormal amount of dark aether swells within them, regardless of how much they may waste in battle.

and the shadow that protects you
... is erased by morning sun.[  UNCOMMON  ]  :  SPOKEN the veena has a very peculiar manner of speech, carrying a subtle yet different accent depending who they're around-- with doman being the standout. in particular, their parting words carry a certain blessing, one that ties them ever closer to the night.[  RARE  ]  :  SHIP OF THESEUS ???
