rules

I'm a pretty easygoing person who enjoys seeing my friends happy. If we get into some role-playing, there's a good chance we'll hit it off. Just keep me updated, if you need a few days to reply, no biggie, but give me a heads up. Waiting around with out a heads up gets me sad.

When not really IC but still pretending to be Niah, EX hanging out in game and doing silly brain storming. I run around begging for headpats and being legit an annoying cat and causing mild problems.

I am a multi paragraph person who takes time in game, and in Discord. I don't mind helping someone break off the rust or learn how to RP. But please give me something to work with, I don't prefer one liners unless it's in game with just text.

Feel free to be open and honest. If things aren't playing out the way you'd prefer, I'll do my best to adjust to how you I enjoy engaging in long-term roleplays, constantly generating fresh ideas. I'm also keen on hearing your suggestions, so don't hesitate to share if there's something you'd like to add or explore.

I appreciate the idea of shipping, yet I kindly request a respectful approach, as I am one who prefers slow burn. Most of my characters are Bi/Pan so it'll be hard for you to find one that doesn't match with your tastes.

I don't have many triggers, if in voice I might start laughing nervously but unless you're told to stop what you're doing and not in a playful voice I'm chill.Also I will most likely be okay with what you wanna do, just give me a heads up if you're really going to do something out there.

combat

"But who will fight if I don't? there's so much hate in this world if I can use my powers to help even one person I will"

Niah's vulnerability lies in her limited endurance against sustained attacks. While her combat finesse and agility are formidable, the fragility of her defenses becomes apparent when confronted with a barrage of strikes. Niah excels in evading and strategically countering, but her resilience diminishes with each consecutive hit. She's hard to hit but once you get one good hit on her she will fall.

Niah's combat style is like an elegant dance, a delicate interplay of agility and finesse. Her movements are a blend of fluid motions, reminiscent of a dancer twirling through an intricate routine. With a touch of enchantment, she navigates the battlefield, transforming chaos into a choreographed ballet. In the midst of combat, she radiates a certain grace, turning the clash of blades into a captivating performance that leaves onlookers enchanted by the enchanting artistry of her fighting style.

Her weapons are her own magic consisting of various elements. A rapier and medium that she coats her own aether with.

Months of dedicated practice have allowed Niah to seamlessly synchronize her abilities with the spirit she is bound to. While her innate affinity lies with the fiery embrace of the aether, her unwavering determination has enabled her to tap into the dormant draconic energies within her. Through this harmonious fusion, Niah has unlocked the ability to manipulate ice spells, showcasing a versatile mastery over contrasting elements. This dual proficiency not only amplifies her range of magical capabilities but also adds a strategic layer to her combat finesse, surprising adversaries with the fluid transition between scorching flames and glacial frost.

biography

"In every storm, find the strength to stand tall, for even clouds part to reveal the sun."

Niah's origins trace back to the Lavender Beds, born to her father, Ricken Akhabila, a renowned Red Mage affiliated with the Mages Guild of the Gridania branch, and her mother, Sundew Akhabila. Alongside her older brother, Marcus Akhabila.As a child, Niah's persistent curiosity led her to frequently pester her father on his days off, imploring him to share his magical knowledge. Eventually, he gave in, teaching Niah the basics of her aether but quickly soon found out she had a knack for magic so he taught her more.Tragedy struck when Niah was ten years old, as her father, Ricken, fell victim to a poisonous trap set by the Imperials. Despite his valiant efforts, he and his troop succumbed to the deadly gas within three weeks. Left without his guidance, Niah and Marcus were raised by their resilient mother, their grief and love for their lost father enduring.At the age of fifteen, driven by an unwavering desire to make the world a better place and prevent others from enduring her pain, Niah embarked on a journey to Ishgard. Seeking out Ivrox Balance, an Elezen noble and powerful Red Mage who had once trained her father, she pleaded for guidance. Recognizing the determination in her spirit, Ivrox agreed to mentor her.Under Ivrox's tutelage, Niah honed her skills for three years, passing the Red Mage exam with exceptional proficiency. Returning to Gridania, she joined the Mages Guild under the supervision of Corbin Silverborn, an Au’ra. However, her experience with Corbin took a dark turn, leading to confidence issues and a persistent stutter, inflicted by the abuse she endured under his authority.But due to the help of a kind Roegadayn and a Miqo with the fire of a thousand suns she would help put him behind bars.

Friends and Family

"I wouldn't be me without them"

Sparing Partner

Earned Flower crown? - Yes

It's been a long few months with all that has happened with Lericho and I, but I'm proud to call him my sparring partner. Though if he would let me I could beat him. I enjoy sparring with him on our monthly sparring sessions then sitting in the highest treetops as we lick our wounds over tea. I'm glad he pushed me as far as he did, I just hope he's okay.

Partner in crime/ Captain

Earned Flower crown? - Yes!

Khaidu is absolutely wonderful. I introduced him to the joys of non ship food, and despite my initial fright during our first meeting mistaking him for a mage attempting to drag me back to guild work. I'm immensely relieved he isn't. He's more of a goofball than anything, and what I love most is that he sees beyond my magical powers; he sees me for ME! And I'm proud to call him Captain. Though I do worry that he's just going to keep bullets in his legs. But don't tell him I regularly check just to make sure.

Friend / He's just a Boi

Earned Flower crown? - Not yet

Shouta, he's... he's a really good friend. He promised he wouldn't hurt me with a pinky promise, and that means a lot. He gives me 'scary dog privileges,' and I always invite him to get food. It's nice, I appreciate his company. He's funny in his own way, and I can tell he's doing his best. I can't help but feel, though, that there might be more to him than he lets on. It's just hard to read Au'ra expressions. Always grumpy. But still, I'm grateful for his friendship and for helping me through moments when I needed it.

Will add others later
