You're losin' your temper
Do you think they won't remember?
You're only sorry when you're comin'
Down, down, down.

Public Information

Originally from Ala Mhigo, Ramona has since moved on from her native country to find satisfaction elsewhere. She served several years in the Garlean military at the rank of oen, and was even enlisted in a special ops unit for her marksmanship. After nearly fourteen years of service, she abandoned her unit as the Empire's hold on Ala Mhigo fell, faking her death and moving on to live her life in Eorzea with none the wiser. Today, she can be found quietly accepting high paying bounties, as she continues to be one of the most skilled marksmen available.

At First glance:

  • Bitch Alert: Ramona has a foul personality and is rather hard to get along with, especially right off the bat. A lot of the time, she's mean on purpose.

  • Sniper: Not many can outshoot her, both in distance and accuracy.

  • Aversion to Touch: Whether she doesn't shake your hand because she's rude, or maybe she just doesn't want to touch you, it's hard to tell at first. But, give her a slight touch on the arm and see how she reacts!

  • Gloved: Perhaps not a detail easily noticed without having seen her several times, but Ramona always wears gloves. It's exceedingly rare to see her without them.

RP Hooks & General Info.

Ramona is not usually the type to approach, so it's likely up to you to come up to her. Maybe there's something about her that draws you closer, or perhaps you're looking for something a bit more nuanced?

  • Ramona previously worked for the Garlean Empire, stationed in Ala Mhigo. She has since defected. Perhaps you're Ala Mhigan and recognize her? Or maybe you worked with her.

  • Ramona's fiancee, Amy, owns a library in the Mists. Ramona can be found there on occasion. Maybe you've seen her, or know her through Amy.

  • Finds free time to get a drink at the Quicksand. She might look a bit out of place in the busy bar, mostly keeping to herself.

  • As a bounty hunter, Ramona is open for hire. She can get the job done quickly and cleanly, though be prepared to drop a large amount of gil. She also rarely accepts mercenary work.

  • It's easy to get a rise out of her. If you annoy her too much, you might just find yourself in a fistfight.

  • Though rare, she might be out in a secluded place playing her viola. You could have possibly seen her, and recognize her!

Appearance

Ramona is tall, standing at six fulms and surprisingly muscular. Her long hair is a deep auburn, worn loose and straightened, making it look rather sleek. Before she does her hair in the morning, it looks much thicker and out of place. Lavender eyes glint with judgment, and thick lips purse in lack of interest. Her bust is of average size. Eyebrows seem to be permanently angled downward. She wears a bright shade of red eye shadow on the inner corners of her eyes, which only accentuate her light colored eyes. Her nose is naturally hooked and makes an attractive profile.

Her body is muscular and well toned, as she puts a lot of time into watching her figure. Though she is curvaceous, she also has impressive abs and strong thighs. For someone native to Ala Mhigo, she's actually rather pale with ivory skin that only makes her dark red hair stand out more. She does have many minor scars all over her body, though most prominent is what looks like a huge stab wound-- presumably from a sword. It looks like it went in one side on her abdomen and came out the other side on her back.

She wields a bow and arrows and is quite impressive with her extreme long distance accuracy. It's not often that she leaves home without it strapped to her back just in case.

Amenie Chamberliaux
♥ ★ ☮ ♧
Ramona's wife. Amenie is usually nicknamed by friends as simply 'Amy'. Though, Ramona tends to call her 'Ames' when feeling affectionate. The two have been through, and continue to go through, lots of hardships together, but hope to put it behind them soon. To onlookers, they might not make sense as a couple, as their personalities can differ quite a lot, but they actually complement each other quite well.

Z'attano Naweh
★☮♧
Back when the two met, they had a drunken one night stand, and Ramona thought that would be the end of it. Now, Z'at seems to be Ramona's friend through sheer willpower to get to know her, despite Ramona's many attempts to scare her away by being mean. Ramona accepts this now and even appreciates the friendship, but that won't stop her from bullying her mercilessly.

Charlotte Stellaris
☠✔♧≈
Ramona and Charlotte (nicknamed 'Lotte' by Ramona) have a long history together. Back when she worked for the Empire, Charlotte was one of Ramona's superior officers. During that time, they also became lovers. Charlotte recently appeared in Eorzea with a plan that ended up getting her killed. Charlotte was the only one who has ever had almost complete control over Ramona.

OOC Information

Hi! My name is Em (she/her). I have been playing FFXIV since late 2016-ish and have been RPing since then. This is my first and only MMO, and I love it a lot! As far as RP goes, I also enjoy tabletop gaming, specifically Pathfinder. I love all sorts of RP, though my preferred themes/styles are adventure, dark, mature, and romance. I'm down for really any sort of RP, and while I prefer plot, light-hearted is okay too! I am a college student who also works, so my hours are a bit weird. I'm usually available from around 5pm until around 1am (EST)!

Roleplay Preferences

I will:
Combat RP. One-shot RP. Long-term RP. Dramatic plots. Heavy, feeling-driven plots. Romance. Sexual tension. Serious injury. Temporary injury and incapacitation of mind or body. Temporary captivity or imprisonment. Assassination attempts. Rivalries. Deep platonic friendships.
I will not:
Allow lore breaking. Allow my character to be killed. Injury that will leave my character incapacitated. Allow godmodding. OOCly planned romances, except under special circumstances.
Ask about:
ERP. Torture that leaves behind lasting, long-term effects (aka, longer than 3 months). Long-term and/or permanent injury. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Significant tampering of the mind. Anything that is dramatically character-changing, or may have extremely negative implications for my character.

General Policies

Don't be a dick and I'll be fine with you. Don't play something that super breaks the lore and I'll be fine with you. I'm willing to put up with a lot of weird lorebendy stuff as long as you're able to give a reason why it actually matters to your character and isn't just for the rule of cool (even though that's the most important rule). Server drama is stupid and if you get involved in it you're stupid. We're here to have fun, so let's have fun!

ERP/Romance: I want the characters to grow and get to know one another rather than just falling in love inorganically. OOCly planned romances are only something that I'm interested in with people I'm already friends with OOC because I know them. 99% of the time, I prefer to fade-to-black instead of writing out a scene.

Combat/Injury: I am okay with either roll battles or emote battles. All I ask is that you don't godmod and accept the consequences of fighting, and I will do the same!
