Aristaeus is blind physically but is able to 'see' with a peculiar type of aethersight.

Aristaeus was a musician, courtesan and entertainer for eons.As a bard, Aristaeus is good at playing the drums, harp, piano, lute and flute. He is a master at opera singing and enjoys performing music for others. Now, as a retired Ascian, Aristaeus journeys around Etheirys with his music and seeks to entertain others.Aristaeus has the power of voice that enables him to weaponize his voice and songs to inflict either pain or pleasure or psychologically influence people's minds. His voice is as alluring as it is dangerous.

OOC Info

Server: Coeurl, Crystal DC
Availability: Quite scarce ;-; But usually I'm on during EST weekend evenings and mornings.
Player info: I'm a RPer in my thirties. I work as an artist and teacher as my day job! He/him only pronouns.
I prefer in-game RP generally. I can do discord RP but it will be super, super slow.
Favourite RP types:
I looooove DARK RP plots, especially ones with horror and psychological elements. I also do tavern RP, adventure RP and free roaming World RP. I'm also super into overarching story plots.While romance is an option for Aristaeus, I would like players to understand that Aristaeus is sexually open relationship kind of character. Romantically, he can be either monogamous, polyamorous or open depending on who has successfully romanced him. This is something to consider about. I also prefer slow burn for romances. If there is no chemistry between characters, I prefer not to force it.- No IC/OOC blending. What Aristaeus thinks and acts IC does not mean I feel the same way OOC.
- No metagaming, no permadeath and no powergaming please.
- OOC communication is important.
- I believe in respecting boundaries and open communication.
- Generally, I am open-minded and accepting of characters who are slightly lore deviated, as long as their existence is plausible in the world of FFXIV.
- I do not do AUs and prefer to follow current canon happenings.
