➤ Y'uraq Tia (Yah-oo-rak Tea-ah)
Y'uraq is a miqo'te born of a mixed heritage between the union of a seeker of the sun and a keeper of the moon. Unlike the majority of his kind, Y'uraq was spared into a privileged life across the Eorzean city-states in thanks to his sire's success as a merchant across the free world.Because of his sire's wealth, Y'uraq's childhood was afforded all kinds of luxuries and opportunities for living outside of most conventional tribal standards. He was however close in-touch with his keeper roots through his mother's influence. In result, his mother's guidance allowed Y'uraq to further his education and his talent for spellcasting as he grew among the privileged, and talented youths of Ul'dah.Over time, Y'uraq grew into a young man of culture. He became versed in many things, including world history, and various arts. Most importantly, he had a centralized background in alchemy, thaumaturgy and spellcasting. However, the greatest account for his experiences were with the people he came across during young adulthood under the relative safety of Lominsan laws.Y'uraq lived his privileged and care-free life into his 25th summer, until his freedom as he knew it came to a tragic end, when the wheels of fate turned and burned with the night of the Calamity. Having lost everything and everyone he held dear, Y'uraq succumbed to madness those following moons. And It wouldn't be a few more years trapped in darkness before a defiant stance against his terrible destiny set him loose into the world, and on a grand adventure for self-discovery.Even though Y'uraq survived from his ordeals as a dark knight reborn, the experiences and knowledge he gained through those trying times has left him changed in ways both evident, and intangible. As such, Y'uraq has spent much time reconsidering much of his past, his perceptions between light and dark, the realm, and his place in his new future.Ever since, Y'uraq has made it his mission to seize his second chance. To thrive, learn, live, and take his dreams back from the dark. To explore and pursue the vast reaches of the arcane. To unravel the mysteries behind his Mhachi ancestry, and further understand his grasp over dark and forbidden arts on his own terms.However, Y'uraq's newer pursuits didn't come without more dangers, hardships, heartbreaks, and consequences over the following years. Despite his setbacks and cathartic revelations, Y'uraq has yet to shirk from the challenges and responsibilities that await him.How he'll choose to see them through, is another story.

➤ Stature
Y'uraq stands at just an ilm over six fulms, without counting the length of his ears above his head. As such, he appears to be slightly taller than the average male miqo'te, and his darker complexion confirm he is indeed no stranger to the sun.Y'uraq bares the dominant traits of a 'seeker of the sun' through the sharp slits in his eyes, dominant sense of smell, and sun-kissed skin. However, at a closer glance one may notice his more pronounced fangs that poke through his lips whenever he lets a widened grin, a feature akin to the 'keeper' side of his lineage. In addition, Y'uraq's stands with a thinner and lighter frame. This makes him a notable lightweight for a man his height.Y'uraq has been seen with varying hair lengths throughout the course of his life. From the 'short and clean' days of his childhood, to a mid-length that reflected his own rebellious outlook into his young adulthood. For a long time Y'uraq's hair hung down both opposite sides of his head which often concealed the upper half of his face that revealed but a pair of pointed fangs whenever he smiled.Since his 31st summer, Y'uraq has let his hair grow even longer than it's ever been at the request of a former lover. It currently reaches far past his shoulders and half way down his back. A simple, but otherwise welcome consequence for neglecting his regular visits to the aesthician has allowed Y'uraq's hair become notably longer. Y'uraq has since embraced this natural change as a reminder of the growth and changes he has experienced since the start of his journey.
➤ Scars and Markings
Y'uraq's most notable scar runs down his right brow, reaching half way down his right cheek. There's also a second, smaller scar running down the left side of his face near his lips. In addition, Y'uraq is host to a number of larger and smaller scars and pierced skin markings scattered over the rest of his body.Aside his hereditary markings, some additional markings have appeared over the sides his face and running down the bridge of his nose. Y'uraq suspects the nature and unusual coloration of 'adult' markings may also fall among the consequences wrought by his extended evocation and use of umbral forces. On top of his lack of sleep.
➤ Wardrobe and Fashion
On common days, Y'uraq enjoys outfitting himself in a more casual style, often sporting a pair of blue denims along with the color black, white, or red. He does however bare the greatest fondness for the color black. As far as occasionally indulging himself in a darker appearance, Y'uraq enjoys painting his fingernails black and applying subtle black markings and patterns over his face.
➤ Inquisitive
As an open-minded and academic individual, Y'uraq is prone toward a boundless want for knowledge and understanding for the world of magic and the divine. It's very likely to get his attention with a mere mention of a school of magic before he'll be static to have a long, and profound conversation about the topic at hand.
➤ Determined
Y'uraq has never been the kind to go quietly into the night, or cower in fear. On the contrary, there's been many times when his stoicism carried him through some of the darkest, most painful moments he's faced in his life so far.In the stakes of combat, Y'uraq's loud and defiant demeanor against the odds alone evoke a force to be reckoned with.
➤ Ambiguous
Through the years, Y'uraq's reputation has extended between 'a trusted friend' to 'morally grey' to 'a bastard and a whoreson'. As such, his impulsive deeds have earned him something of a muddled reputation despite his reasons for the past choices he made.At the bottom of everything, Y'uraq feels he is but a man that follows his heart's passions and desires. As such, he is prepared to do what he feels is right, for the things he must.He is however, not void of logic and reason.
➤ Empathetic
As a man once trapped in darkness, Y'uraq understands the terrible burdens between fear, anger, hatred, and the suffering they bring. Because of this, Y'uraq will always look to the opportunity to offer solace for another in need of it.
➤ Relentless
Despite the sliver of kindness he held and cultivated silently through his darkest years, Y'uraq has also come to harbor some cruel, vicious, and twisted tendencies of his own since his initiation as a dark knight.Even though his experiences as such have shown him the terrible price for evoking such bitter forces. Y'uraq has decided to reserve himself in his path, vowing to unleash the full extent of his deepest, darkest madness exclusively for the worst of the worst. Only they are fit to sate his deep, dark, wrathful desires.He'll otherwise seek to avoid less drastic means for retribution in his means to grant a craven abuser a taste befit of their own misery.

➤ Lacrimosa (Lah-cree-mo-sah)
Y'uraq commissioned none other than the distinguished services of Brithael, the Guildmaster of the Lominsan Blacksmiths' guild for a weapon fit for his caliber. Specified with maneuverability, weight, and durability in mind, a zweihander was forged from the finest Garlean darksteel Y'uraq could secure those following moons.Y'uraq named his weapon 'the tearful one' after the Garlean tongue to finalize it as his very own, with a namesake that serves a grim reminder. Lacrimosa has since served Y'uraq with finesse and deadliness.
➤ Kattra (Kat-trah)
Y'uraq was able to draft and assemble a neo-Ishgardian styled staff in collaboration between the Arrzaneth Ossuary, Saint Endalim's Scholasticate, and the Goldsmith's guild of Ul'dahMade of electrum, chromite, and an augmented, deep sapphire orb resting in the staff's core. The combined infusion between the umbral infused staff and the conductive properties of electrum allow for a mass evocation of umbral ice in a pinch when needed, giving it a deep blue glow in action.However, it lacks the conductivity stability to evoke or retain astral flames efficiently.The staff was named after an old, forgotten friend Y'uraq once knew and fancied through his early days of his adolescence in Ul'dah.
➤ Meamignis (Meh-ah-mig-nis)
While it remains a mystery why Y'uraq would name his experiment in Garlean tongue, Y'uraq's augmented ringbands grant him the ability to draw and evoke aether from the astray leys with his bare hands without risking self-immolation.Y'uraq is rarely seen without his pair of augmented ruby ringbands secured over the back of his hands. Their simple design is often overlooked by security personnel, allowing Y'uraq to stay armed through subtle means.However, they do very little to protect Y'uraq from the pains and dangers of frostbites of evoking umbral ice with them.

➤ Allagan Tomestone of Mobile Networking (TMN)
An invaluable, handy, and portable touch-operated multitool. A TMN possesses variety of features, including the ability to text and call other TMNs, linkpearls and other communication devices.In addition, Y'uraq is able to access a vast network established also be used to access KIA'sIt also takes pictures!

➤ Sunfury & Sunshadow
The sword and shield that Y'uraq wielded through his fateful summer moons as a rising duelist across the Eorzean rings and championships alike.Y'uraq has retired the sword and shield pairing since the end of his days as a paladin, but keeps them displayed on a miqo'te-sized mannequin posed along with the armaments he wore to combat in those times.Despite their cleaned and conditioned ready for combat, Y'uraq rarely uses them for anything other than the purpose of exhibition.Sunfury and Sunshadow are lot more than mere weapons of iron and steel, they represent an important lesson to Y'uraq that he will vow to remember forever.
➤ Cracked Soul of the PaladinIn his early adolescence, Y'uraq was privileged with the tutorship of an ul'dahn man whom was versed deep in the ways of chivalry, and swordsmanship in addition to his appointed knowledge of ul'dahn history, laws, and ethics.While these were all lessons Y'uraq once took to heart, the priveledged boy steadily forgot them as more summers of learning and personal experiences warped his convictions into twisted in the years following the calamity those following years.However, since his escape from darkness, Y'uraq went on that following fateful summer and rose as an accomplished swordsman. Y'uraq became confident in his specialty with a sword and shield enough to test his skills and prove himself worthy to the Sultanguard in a mere matter of moons.Y'uraq ascended as an initiate free paladin and his earned soulstone to guide him in his future endeavors and developments. However, Y'uraq's darkness creeping about, his lust for battle and vainglorious attitude often made him forget his creed and his place as a paladin.It wasn't long before his soul of the paladin began wear, crack and to lose its luster. His connection was further weakened the more he turned to rage for power in combat. Until the soul crystal cracked became unresponsive to it's once chosen master the day he turned to the dark once more.Although his soul of the paladin is nothing more than a worn, and lifeless stone since that fateful day. Y'uraq holds on to it in conjunction with his sword and shield as a grim reminder for the terrible consequence of betraying the oath of a paladin.
➤ The Star's HeartAnother relic to Y'uraq's past. It once served as a symbol to a great promise of great and wonderful things ahead for him, before it was lost in the Calamity. The necklace was adorned with fine stones and pearls, before it was completed, Y'uraq's mother presented him with a deep purple amethyst stone that radiated heat, yet felt cold to him at the touch. It was a family heirloom tracing back far over a thousand years.Touched by his mother's gift, Y'uraq accepted her gesture with love. However many summers passed before the tragic events that opened Y'uraq's eyes to his mother's lies and deceptions. Brokenhearted, Y'uraq buried the necklace only a few nights before the Calamity.It was eventually unearthed by Y'uraq not long before it found itself in the wrong hands, and revealed but a sliver of a mhachi soulstone's power.Since its second recovery, the necklace has since remained broken since the incident that revealed its hidden treasure, It would be another year before Y'uraq would begin to consider restoring it to it's past prime.
➤ Beryl CrestThough the original turquoise necklace he once wore from his Beryl Point has been lost in his travels. Y'uraq has chipped and cut another small turquoise rock to serve an eternal reminder of his origin, and the life he once had long ago.
➤ Ch'bukFormerly his sire's bhuj. Once a grand cleaver of kobolds and brigands alike, Ch'buk has only seen action once since it's recovery. It has proved itself a lasting work of force during Y'uraq's duel with Kim'ahri.In time, Y'uraq has reacquainted himself in practise with the weapon and axes alike, but has ultimately chosen to keep Ch'buk stationary to serve as a monument to the sire he once looked up to, than a tool of decimation.
➤ Soul of the Black MageSince discovering the lineage of this soul crystal and his birthright to inherit the knowledge within, Y'uraq has chosen to keep and guard his inherited soulstone closely. Despite the dangers and penal consequences for the possession of a forbidden mhachi relic would bringY'uraq's quest to immerse himself into the world of black magic those following summers were met with many more dangers and turmoil that once again, pushed him to his known limits. Regardless of his sincere efforts to unravel his forgotten potential with spellcasting, Y'uraq had become more disillusioned as nothing but dead ends over the mystery of the 'first ancestor'.It wasn't long before his personal quest was diverted by the call of relic hunting. However, Y'uraq's choices have unraveled a string of consequences for him that have temporarily forced him to halt, and reconsider his place in the world of black magic.
➤ Soul of the Dark KnightIn the midst of an unholy ritual, Y'uraq's spirit was broken from the terrible visions after coming face to face with the concentrated darkness that yearned for freedom through power and control. Y'uraq was forced suffer the effects of his madness unleashed for moons before fate would spare him from his dark destiny.However, it was through lot of help from his friends that Y'uraq managed to face, and survive the trials and tribulations his 'long strange trip' brought with it.Y'uraq completed his joining ritual after two more long and arduous summers of sweat, blood and tears since his re-awakening. Though Y'uraq found the redemption and forgiveness he long sought for, he knew his journey in the path was far from over.Four more summers came and passed since Y'uraq took it upon himself to study and advance further in the path on his own terms, and reflect on the dark knowledge he gained since his initiation as a dark knight.His risky 'trials and errors' have forced him to realize how important it was to remember the best examples through the other souls he came across his path, and to handle the worst with all the care he could muster.Today, Y'uraq relies on the dark visions that ring deep in his thoughts and dreams. Taking the woes and cries of his darkside to heart, and work to decipher his own twisted shadow's words in the next step toward rebuilding and completing himself as a dark knight reborn.

➤ "This is my story"Hello, if you're here it likely means that by some opportunity you stumbled upon the name 'Y'uraq Tia'. And now you're curious to learn more about my strange and long story, yes?I can most certainly provideWhy else would you wander here?

Chapters
➤ "This is my story"(WIP)
Memoirs
➤ A realm Reborn - The Wayward VindicatorLike wise, after Y'uraq left the fireborn, he went off to use his soulstone (and breaking the paladin creed) seeking glory for himself through late-late ARR, Altonio still hung out with him at times. before long Y'uraq rose to become a champion winning competition after competition in the arenas that summer (RNGesus really liked him haha) Y'uraq was gaining a reputation, but his thirst for victory made him a force to be reckoned with.
Memoirs
➤ Heavensward - The Light in the Shadowtoward early heavenward, Y'uraq descended further into darkness at the end of an arc i included altonio in. Heavensward was about Y'uraq overcoming his dark aspect and his past pre and early calamity. He completed his own rendition of the lv 50 DRK quest by the end of heavensward. but at the cost of so much hardship on the way. Introduced some nasty NPCs from the lambs of dalamud wanting to reclaim Y'uraq as one of theirs, and went as far as kidnapping his friends to bait him. completing his joining did not afford Y'uraq the satisfaction he thought it'd bring him.
Memoirs
➤ Stormblood - Of the Last and the LostStormblood was about him basically learning to live on as a dark knight, despite knowing better than to turn against himself, PTSD takes time and effort to get over, and most of the 'family' Y'uraq adopted through his dark trials have more or less gone their own ways, so it was him going solo on his own, learning to live on as the man he's become. but after all the darkness he faced it was pretty difficult for him to keep that 'light' burning on his own. But he found some purpose in ala mhigo, teaching aspiring defenders the art of thaumaturgy on behalf of the thaumaturge's guild, and the immortal flames. It did little to fill the void, even with a love of a woman that literally fell from the sky and into his life. Y'uraq was in no position to love another as he still hadn't found solace in himself, but he didn't want to break the girl's heart so he did his best and figured "maybe"
Memoirs
➤ Shadowbringers - The Legacy of SinnersShadowbringers was an interesting ride. Y'uraq did his best to enjoy his life with his girlfriend, which -was- improving, but he was starting to get visions, dreams from his dark soul crystal. a vision of his former master (from the lambs) vaulting a secret beneath amdapor Y'uraq became very curious about the visions that he eventually convinced himself that he had to go an investigate amdapor keep himself. but he wanted to fill his then partner in on his affairs as a dark knight. but she was insisting that he gives up those pursuit and focus on building the life he wants with her instead. Y'uraq wanted to agree with it, but as a dark knight he's in far too deep to just quit now, not when he still has so much he needs to understand about his darkness. Y'uraq thought he could resume his pursuits in secret.

➤ DISCLAIMER - (18+) MATURE CONTENT WARNING
✦ If you're curious about including lewd and more kink-driven story elements and interactions between us, my list of preferen/c/es for things lewd and 'nsfw' can be found, if you know where to look.The list in question serves as a general guide. Curious inquiries are encouraged.

➤ ROLEPLAY GUIDELINES
✦ First and foremost, I'm an M/RPer. This means I'm the kind of roleplayer who's open to scenes and stories that revolve around mature subject matters. These may include themes such as violence, horror, drug / alcohol use, dramatic / emotionally traumatic elements, along with potentially sexual, lewd, or obscene elements.However, I also welcome plots, stories, and scenes with a potential for levity, wholesomeness, and 'slice-of-life' experiences as well. Elements and plot points such as combat or intimacy (ERP) are acceptable only as long as they have a rhyme and purpose for happening over the course of the story in-development.
✦ I consider myself a dynamic roleplayer. This means that during an active scene, I would much prefer for our characters to interact with one another, NPCs, and the world around them as naturally as they would during a developing scene. I enjoy this style of RP because it allows for more immersive interactions, lasting impressions, vivid storytelling, and memorable experiences on the way to the end-goal.
✦ I am also a 'para-RP'er. This means I enjoy writing in a style that is descriptive between my character's actions, thoughts, emotions, etc. This includes giving vibrant and active descriptions of a scene in progress during my turns to write. Which may may take as long as a paragraph or more if need be. They may also be very brief, depending on what's presently happening.
✦ The concept of roleplaying online is an opportunity to engage in immersive storytelling as both the character and the audience, but not at the same time. It's very important to understand the difference between IC (In-Character) and OOC (Out-of-Character) emotions and knowledge. Doing this also will keep the fourth wall up nice and sturdy.
✦ As much as I love and favor in-game RP, I also understand that a scene may sometimes go further than the time we have, While I'm not a fan of Discord RP, I do understand its usefulness to continue unfinished scenes until we can meet in-game for it again. So I don't mind using it under more restrictive circumstances if need be.
✦ And last, remember that we are here to have fun, and enjoy ourselves in a safe and creative environment between two or more like-minded people. Please be clear in communicating your intentions and limits for RP early on, if any. I ask that you please respect mine as well. Remember that good storytelling and character developments are meant to be a journey, not a race. If you feel our story is moving slower than it should, please let me know and we can talk about it.
✦ I enjoy maintaining a series of saved scenes, short stories and long-term developments archived between events, campaigns, story arcs, and sagas over my years playing FFXIV. These sagas are arranged in a single chronological timeline I keep parallel to the Eorzean/ Gregorian calendar. I will keep these frequently updated for notes and continuity purposes as they occur.
Contact
➤ ROLEPLAY LIMITS
✦ I don't recognize nor accept Roleplay requests from anyone claiming to be a canon character.
As someone who's taken the time and effort to develop his own character, I reserve my game time primarily for immersive RP with like-minded roleplayers. These include the kinds of people who are also interested in creating potential long-term developments to add to their characters' stories, and experiences through the scenes we get to share together.
✦ I am not interested in any kind 'meta' without first disclosing terms and ideas prior to starting a scene or introducing an arc. Unless given direct permission to do so, I don't control other player characters, nor will I accept any attempt to control mine unless it's been discussed prior to a scene. In short, I don't care for meta-RPers, or complete disregard for lore limits, timeline, and continuity.
✦ I do not accept any kind of 'fast forwarding' requests for major character developments between Y'uraq and your character(s), or permit any kind of 'metagaming' that has not been disclosed and agreed upon in OOC prior to starting or progressing through a scene.
✦ I'm open to discuss possible story developments involving killshots, long-term captivity, imprisonment, injuries, disabilities, and limitations. Please do not try these without disclosing your ideas in OOC with me first.
✦ While I am lore abiding, I am also okay with some lore-bending. That however, depends heavily on the subject in question. If the lore doesn't explicitly state something can't be done, and you have a valid reason for doing said thing. Then I'll be happy to explore those creative aspects with you. I have some of my own head canon that fills in 'gray areas' that the lore might have left behind. It's these gray areas that I feel are perfect for some creative freedom.
✦ Retconning will never be negotiated unless you're wanting to retype, or edit a post that hasn't been replied to yet. A core part of dynamic RP and character development is understanding things may not always go, or even conclude at all like we planned in OOC. But that's okay, we can still communicate after a scene has concluded, and arrange for another scene to follow if the feeling is mutual.
✦ Of course, for whatever reason or another, there may be times where things simply aren't working out for the parties involved. If that's the case, please feel free to move on and find other options for RP that you might enjoy more. Keep in mind no one is obligated to talk or interact with anyone else in any way or form if they don't want to. Whether it's IC or OOC does not matter. Harassment will not be tolerated. You've been warned.

➤ ABOUT ME
Greetings and salutations! My name's (REDACTED), but I generally go by my alter-ego's name in the FFXIV community. I'm a 35 year-old male with a love for online video games, creative mediums, nerding out, and exploring immersive online communities and mingling with like-minded people over the past 20+ years. I also have a love for all things creative. Including digital and traditional art, music, animation, writing, and storytelling for as long as I can remember.I've been playing FFXIV since October 2014. It was then when I discovered and fell in love with the incredibly immersive RP community Balmung and the Crystal Data Center continues to provide to this day.I'm currently living in central standard time, and I also work from home. So there may be times when I'll be online or on discord during the early afternoon hours. I'm around late afternoon and evening hours during the week. My weekends are far more ample for FFXIV time.
