Unholy Reverence


❛  the divine will curl its way through your veins and take you over, and it will not leave you quietly.
i feel divinity in my bones like aching; like fire.

Hi there, I'm Mey!
I'm currently troggling through my mid-twenties (as well as 6.2 of Endwalker), and have been RPing for about 10~ years through various mediums. I like keyboard smashes to express excitement, ginger cats, and emotional suffering in the media that I consume.
✞
If it has yet to become clear, Shiloh is a cultist and a serial killer with gruesome practices and disturbing motifs. While he certainly has his fair share of fine traits, he is not a good person looking to go redeemed. Gore, body horror, rot and occult themes are likely to be present within his writing. If that isn't your cup of tea, that's perfectly alright! But consider whether or not that is something you wish to engage with, as I'm not looking to censor these parts of his character.
Yog'iazug and its cult are homebrew elements created together with a dear writing partner, and so lorebending is to be expected!✞
I'm always down to explore potential new and interesting connections, and so please don't hesitate to reach out to me! I really value enthusiasm in my RP partners, and love geeking out about storylines and character relationships. Please shower me in all of your inspiration boards and character playlists!
I do both in-game and Discord RP depending on what serves the scene! I'm also down to exchange moon codes.With all that said, it's worth noting that I'm currently quite selective in what interactions I take on for this lil' psycho. Read on to see what I'm all about as a roleplayer, and subsequently, what I'm not all that interested in! c:



yays.


  • γ…€long-term story arcsγ…€ varied with slice of life off-shoots. i love a good 'beach episode', don't get me wrong, but i like having an overarching plot to give interactions a direction! for new connections, i tend to suggest a one-off that we can build off of for starters. i'd rather overplot than underplot.

  • γ…€mature themes.γ…€ i'm open to very grim and horror-related rp, and am typically down to have pretty much anything happen to my characters (as long as you're ready to face the consequences). Shiloh is a cultist and serial killer, with grisly ways and macabre themes. should that faze you, i don't think this is the right character to be interacting with!

  • γ…€c o m m u n i c a t i o n.γ…€ please, i beg of you dfyhjfuikso– is a scene or plot taking a direction you're not fond of? did something not feel quite right? on the contrary, is there something you really enjoyed, that you'd like to see more of or do in the future? is work or real life getting dreary, or are you in need of a break from rp to recharge your creative batteries? please, communicate these things!

  • γ…€consequential roleplay.γ…€ do stupid shit, win stupid prizes. i like to aim for some kind of realism in my rp, which includes heeding law & order and following appropriate social conduct in public β€” or by all means, don't! but be ready for the consequences.

  • γ…€lore-bending,γ…€ i'm willing to entertain most concepts within reason! gestures at a fully made up god concept.

  • γ…€dming scenesγ…€ and roleplaying npcs for the sake of storytelling purposes! dice and all.

  • γ…€ooc friendships!γ…€ i love geeking out about rp, plotlines, nerd culture, memes, you name it! it's half the fun to me! please send me all of your pinterest boards and playlists, I adore chatting about 'em.

  • γ…€in-game or discord rp.γ…€ i don't mind either, as long as it serves the scene! though due to my real life schedule, i have a slight preference for the latter as it's easier to squeeze in.

  • γ…€crimeγ…€ & moon shenanigans!

  • γ…€real life always comes first.γ…€ that goes for both of us!

Nays.


  • γ…€lack of communication.γ…€ most issues in life stems from this. just be open and honest, and i promise you it'll work out!

  • γ…€shipping or erp.γ…€ despite what a somewhat flirtatious IC nature might tell you, most of Shiloh's flattery is just that; lip service to get his way. his body, heart and soul already belongs exclusively to someone else, and i'm not interested in multi-shipping.

  • γ…€ic/ooc bleed.γ…€ this line is absolutely sacred, and i will not tolerate it being blurred. should anything that happens ICly affect you OOC, please say so! but any IC conflict, opinions or remarks should not be taken personally by you, the player β€” just like how none of those things are representative of me OOC, either. i only occasionally condone murder.

  • γ…€underage players or characters.γ…€ for the sake of the themes explored, i require you to be 21+!

  • γ…€sudden character death.γ…€ while i'm not entirely opposed to the idea, should it make for a great story, i'm pretty disinclined right now.

  • γ…€skewed effort.γ…€ i put in a lot of time and care into the rp that i do, whether it is scheduling, doing prepwork, spitballing what comes next, etc. i do it out of excitement and enthusiasm for the relationships and stories i really care about! but that means i expect the same kind of effort from my partners. we are, after all, in it together c:

  • γ…€wol characters.γ…€ i'm sure they're lovely, but I don't see them meshing very well with what I'm looking to do!

  • γ…€fledgling sprouts.γ…€ i'm really sorry, but I sadly don't have the time to help new players navigate FFXIV's lore or rp scene. but i wish you the absolute best of luck! ;w;

boons.


  shepherd   


a diligent follower, Shiloh has been tasked with seeing his broken god mended. this makes him intrinsically tied to yog's peculiar vessel;  ozerai kadzhiev.

  accursed   


To worship rot means you've no reason to fear it. resistant to disease and most poisons, one must outcurse the bane laid upon him for it to have decent effect.

  infested   


to touch is to bless; to deform and infect. direct contact allows this priest to share his blessing in the form of pulsating blisters and rapid decay.

  honed   


hard work and genetics has seen shiloh possessing the strength to overtake the common man. the divine put aside, he's most likely to subdue you with his own power.

hooks.

(see these as specific suggestions; i'm always open to brainstorming!)


lonely, lowborn.

(past connections)


A whoreson loses his mother to sicknessβ€” addictionβ€” karma or fate. Alone in a house full of rot, young Shiloh turns lost and unsure for the first time and last time. The ache of bellies echoing hollow and alleyway scraps have gone, but he didn't evolve on his own.Perhaps you are someone who would've known of the child; dead-eyed and quiet. Or perhaps you are one of the wealthy from which he's obtained his manners; a street rat quick and eager to learn. Although not particularly keen to keep friends (especially old ones), seldom do we choose our hauntings.


hunted, haunted.

(retribution, prey, bad ends, enemies to ???)


You're of questionable character that've gone beyond petty crime and towards the tasteless and cruel.Reckoning comes in no manner divine, but through the self-righteous hand of a man who thinks himself just. Violence comes not from the knife tearing gut from its hollow, but in the shape of laughter translucent and a pearly toothed smile.Evil–especially that which insists it is good– make for the greatest sacrifice. A new target for bloodletting, you must now contend with murderous interest.


sinful artery.

(sinners, saints, the guilty and the not)


You’ve done something too terrible to speak of. Intentions may have been good. Contrition might not be present. Either way, guilt has made your heart its nest and from there the sickness spreads and festers.You must speak with someone, you must lift this weight. Faithful or not, you beseech the confessional for comfort.


kindred monsters.

(occultists, killers and the morally questionable)


Man has lost its animal ways. Stifled by conjured up morals and chained down by laws spoken into existence, wherein lies there room to pursue our desires? Shiloh longs for the likeminded; for those prone to the taboo.Perhaps they meet someplace unfortunate, and find themselves unlikely friends. Or perhaps they spot the other during questionable circumstance.
