Viessa, a distinguished Viera from the renowned city of Sharlayan, has embarked on an extensive journey across Eorzea in pursuit of hands-on experiences that transcend the confines of her scholarly studies. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and a longing for knowledge beyond the reach of even the most guarded tomes in Sharlayan’s forbidden archives, she has bravely left behind the secure and comfortable life she once knew.Her departure from Sharlayan represents more than a mere academic venture—it is a quest to encounter the vibrant, untamed world of Etheirys in its full, unfiltered splendor. This transition from the tranquil confines of academic life to the dynamic and unpredictable world outside speaks to Viessa’s strong-willed and determined nature. Her hot-tempered disposition, tempered by a fierce intellect, drives her to seek out experiences and insights that only direct interaction with the world can provide.Viessa’s formidable expertise in Alchemy is more than just a scholarly pursuit; it has become the cornerstone of her journey. Her alchemical skills not only support her financially, allowing her to fund her travels and procure rare and fine items such as the best bottles of whiskey available in the taverns she frequents, but also contribute to her ongoing experiments and creations. Whether concocting powerful potions or rare elixirs, her proficiency in Alchemy ensures she remains well-equipped for the challenges she faces.When she is not engrossed in her alchemical endeavors, Viessa immerses herself in the art of dance—a passion she developed while still in Sharlayan. Her dance practice has evolved into a unique blend of artistry and precision, combining the elegance of traditional dance with the lethal precision of a blade. This combination reflects her complex personality: graceful yet formidable, with a penchant for integrating her skills into every facet of her life.Additionally, Viessa has ventured into modeling, using her dancing skills to enhance her work. Her modeling assignments often highlight her dynamic movements and the intricate interplay between grace and strength, providing a visual representation of her multifaceted talents. Her work in this field not only supports her travels financially but also allows her to express herself artistically in ways that complement her alchemical and dance pursuits.In essence, Viessa is a vibrant and multifaceted individual whose journey is defined by a relentless pursuit of knowledge, a dedication to her crafts, and a desire to experience the full spectrum of life across Eorzea.

She seeks out knowledgeable adventurers and scholars to help decipher its origins and potential uses. The artifact might hold secrets that could alter the course of her research—and perhaps even Eorzea’s history.- Ethical Dilemma: The Viera is involved in a controversial research project that has raised ethical questions among her peers. The project involves using a rare and possibly endangered species for study. She’s torn between her commitment to scientific advancement and the moral implications of her work, leading her to seek advice from those with strong ethical convictions.- Lost Knowledge: The Viera has come across fragmented texts from an ancient Sharlayan scholar whose works were thought to be lost. To piece together the full body of knowledge, she needs to locate various hidden manuscripts and ancient ruins. She might enlist the help of adventurers to find these elusive pieces of history.

- Cultural Exchange: Eager to understand the diverse cultures and practices of Eorzea beyond the academic perspective, the Viera is organizing a series of cultural exchange events. She invites people from different regions to share their traditions, knowledge, and stories, hoping to gain insights that could enhance her research and foster greater understanding among disparate groups.

RP Boundaries and Guidelines

1. Age Restriction:
- 18+ Only: To ensure comfort and appropriateness in all interactions, I only RP with individuals who are 18 years old or older. This policy is in place regardless of whether the RP includes adult themes or not.2. Separation of OOC and IC:
- Distinction Between OOC and IC: It's important to remember that my character's actions and dialogue are separate from my personal views and behaviors as a player. Please keep in mind that what happens in-character (IC) does not reflect my out-of-character (OOC) self. Let’s keep OOC interactions free from IC drama and focus on maintaining a positive RP experience.3. Diverse RP Interests:
- Variety in RP: I enjoy a wide range of RP scenarios including adventure, exploration, casual interactions, romantic plots, and friendly gatherings. I'm open to exploring different types of RP, so if you have a specific scenario in mind, feel free to discuss it with me. I'm excited to see my characters thrive in various situations.4. Romantic and Sexual RP Boundaries:
- Romantic but Not Vicarious: While I’m open to romantic RP and understand it might occasionally involve mature themes, I am not interested in using RP as a means of real-life personal relationships or sexual interactions. Please respect that I’m not seeking to date or engage in cyber activities. Our interactions should remain focused on the RP experience itself.5. PvE Content and RP Collaboration:
- RP and PvE Content: I'm also enthusiastic about running dungeons and engaging in PvE content. If you're looking for an RP partner who enjoys both roleplay and in-game activities like running dungeons, I’d be glad to team up for both!Additional Notes:
- Spelling and Grammar: Please be aware that my spelling and grammar can sometimes be less than perfect, and I may be fueled by Red Bull during our sessions. I’m also quite fond of glamour and gpose, so expect some fun and creative screenshots!By adhering to these guidelines, we can ensure a respectful and enjoyable RP experience for everyone involved. Looking forward to our creative adventures!
