Hi there, I'm Mey!
I'm currently troggling through my mid-twenties 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!
That said, it's an aspect of his character typically kept tight under wraps, seeing it irrelevant should it not be a conscious part of the narrative in mind.
Curious about it? Ask away!✞I'm always happy to talk shop about new potential connections, and so don't hesitate to reach out to me on Discord as meydri!
I really value enthusiasm in my RP partners, and love geeking out about blorbo melodrama and memery. Yapping's half the fun to me, and I'm an avid believer in a good OOC repertoire doing wonders for writing chemistry. I've found that keeping narrative cards or "spoilers" too close to one's chest rarely actually serves the collaborative experience, so let's create openly together!I do both in-game and Discord RP, typically with a preference for the latter due to fluctuating energy levels, neurodivergence and being in CET.
I'm also down to exchange moon codes.I'm a long-form writer that focuses on overarching narrative and intent, and therefore I enjoy brainstorming and curating specific thoughts, ideas and dynamics in terms of plotting!I like for scenes to feel meaningful and serve a long-term purpose, even if candid in nature. We all love a good beach episode, but I like for them to feel driven, too. As such, I'm not very big on one-off tavern meetups that struggle to go places narratively, or just "tossing them in a box to see what happens". I would rather over— than underplot, just to have a loose sense of direction.Read on to see what I'm all about, and subsequently, what I'm not into!

yays.

ㅤmature themes.ㅤ i'm open to most things grim and macabre, including but not limited to; violence, gore, abuse, sexual content, body horror and drug use. ooc communication prior to exploring these themes is paramount in order to make sure everybody remains comfortable, and i expect both of us to breach these topics with tact, if and when they arise. but do be warned that Shiloh is a cultist and a serial killer with grisly ways and morbid themes. should that faze you, i don't think this is the right character to be interacting with!
ㅤc o m m u n i c a t i o n.ㅤ 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!
ㅤconsequential roleplay.ㅤ 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 — or by all means, don't! but be ready for the consequences.
ㅤlore-bending,ㅤ i'm willing to entertain most concepts within reason! gestures at a fully made up primal concept. keep it grounded in some semblance of established lore, and we ought to be gucci.
ㅤdming scenesㅤ and roleplaying npcs for the sake of storytelling purposes! dice and all.
ㅤooc friendships!ㅤ i love geeking out about rp, plotlines, nerd culture, memes, you name it! it's half the fun to me, and i will yap forever about it. please send me all of your pinterest boards and playlists, I adore chatting about 'em.
ㅤreal life always comes first.ㅤ that goes for both of us!

Nays.

ㅤlack of communication.ㅤ most issues in life stems from this. just be open and honest, and i promise you it'll work out!
ㅤshipping or erp.ㅤ despite what a somewhat flirtatious IC nature might tell you, 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.
ㅤic/ooc bleed.ㅤ 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 IC conflict, opinions or remarks absolutely do not reflect my feelings ooc. ~~i only occasionally condone murder.~~
ㅤminors.ㅤ for the sake of themes explored, and because i expect a certain level of ooc maturity, i require you to be 21+.
ㅤundiscussed maiming or death.ㅤ i'm likely to be down with any permanent disfigurement! but as i'd see it as a major character alteration, i'd like for there to be an ooc discussion prior to any such attempts. i don't mind exploring character death in bad end AU scenarios, but canonically i'm not ready to have him die just yet.
ㅤskewed effort.ㅤ 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. it takes two to tango, and i'm not about chasing people down. i won't take it personally if things weren't to work out! please just be candid. <3
ㅤoverpowered characters.ㅤ While I'm open to interacting with skilled and influential characters, I enjoy veering towards low-medium power plots so as to preserve the stakes and problems of semi-average people. while i'm all for the occasional epic power move within an area of expertise, character strengths ought to come with appropriate drawbacks, or else most stories quickly lose their meaning.
ㅤwol characters.ㅤ i'm sure they're lovely, but I don't see them meshing very well with what I'm looking to do!
ㅤfledgling sprouts.ㅤ 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;
people who cannot conduct themselves like adults.

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.
