"If there is an afterlife, then I'll see everyone after death. And if there isn't, I'll simply join them in death. I'll be with them, either way."

→ characteristics

  • He has a Keeper mother and a Seeker father, though he had inherited most of his appearance from his mother. His great grandfather on his mother's side is half Helion Hrothgar, attributing to his slightly stockier frame. He has noticeable canines and his eyes tend to glow slightly at night.

  • Alongside his bloodline, Cassius is taller than the average Miqo'te and has a broad, muscular build from his expeditions on the Bozjan Southern Front.

  • His body is covered in scars and aetherial burns that have worsened over time ever since his battle against the Endsinger.

  • Besides his family, his partner is the only one to know his Keeper name, he typically keeps it to himself.

  • He is very expressive with his ears and tail. Cassius will also purr when he is either relaxed or happy. It comes from deep within his chest.

  • He's extremely skilled in playing the lute and wind harp and is known among the Scions for his singing voice. Get him drunk and he'll serenade you to no end.

  • Cassius didn't really care too much for sweets when he was younger. It was only until after he and Q'kie got together that he developed a sweet tooth. Now every morning, he'll have a fruit tart of the season with his coffee.

  • He has an exceptionally large aetherpool and can create weapons out of his own aether. He uses this ability to create an on hand supply of arrows and bullets.

→ early life

"Garleans are invading from the North Shroud!! We need to get out of here, children!!"

News of the Garleans attacking Eorzea spread throughout the citystates. It was known that the Empire sought out to capture Miqo'te to use in Magitek experiments or to fill their military ranks. Young Elu'sae would often times find himself woken up in the early hours of the night to flee, his village constantly relocating to other secluded parts of the Shroud.
The soldiers had set their sights on the small Keeper village. Elu'sae's home, once booming with laughter, was now bellowing with screams and terror as the soldiers ravaged their village. Though the chieftain had initiated an evacuation plan, the village had already found themselves suffering casualties. Elu'sae quickly found himself alone, fending for survival.
Months passed since he was able to find his way back home. The smell of ceruleum and death had still clung in the air. Thinking that his small village finally found peace, he once again finds himself secluding himself further into the Shroud. Further into the depths, and further into the thoughts that plagued his mind.
Elu'sae devoted the next several years of his life to training, eventually leaving home in order to seek out answers on the Empire. He planned to set foot for Gridania, taking up arms as a mercenary to make coin and gather intel.
Once an innocent youth, he has fallen victim to the destruction of war. A hollow shell of what he once was, the young man decided he would take up a new name: Cassius.

―a weapon―

* 'You keep running. You keep killing until you find safety. You are your strongest tool.'
The Miqo'te boy clung to the dagger in his right hand. The blood of an unknown Imperial soldier stained his body, and his soul. Running in the dark, he kept screaming, but his cries were whisked away into the silence. Was this path down the way of killing truly his fate?

―silver tongued―

* A man is as strong as his mind and quick wit. He could slice someone down with ease using his words. Patience runs thin for incompetency, and even more so if it's met by obstinacy. Those that leave themselves vulnerable might find their ego wounded.

―boundaries―

  1. I am not my WoL/he is not me. I tend to make it clear online that his opinions are not of my own and vice versa.

  2. I rarely RP unless it's with friends, but I'm open to discussing SFW relationships/AUs with other people. If we're mutuals on any social media, my DMs are always open! Feel free to come yap with me.

  3. I do not ERP and will not accept any ERP/NSFW requests with my characters, especially if I do not know you.

―about―

Vivi | 30+ | EST | She/They
I've been playing FFXIV since 2018. I love to create gposes, comics, and write stories about my Warrior of Light. I have a couple other non WoL OCs that I also post about on my socials! You can find me active on Bluesky and Tumblr. Mutuals can ask for my Discord.
Along with gposing in game, I enjoy glamouring, crafting and endgame raiding that I'll occasionally stream on Twitch! FFXIV is a creative outlet for me that has given me such an amazing opportunity to meet incredible people. It's also a fun hobby where I get to play Barbies!
