Mei'li Bluedark
... for those that knew her well, knew she had the pride and strength of the ancient Ogasawara warriors flowing through her blood...
"Unrequited"
Biography
Mei'li Hoban Nuan Ogasawara Bluedark, commonly called "Mei", was born on a world called Adorus, and is the youngest child (along with her twin sister, Xia'li) born to Hoban'ji and Sihnon Ogasawara. Despite not having any interest in honing her special abiities as a child, she managed to rise through the ranks of her galaxy and recently became queen of her homeworld Adorus.Currently, Mei'li finds herself going from visitor to becoming a permanent resident of Eorzea after arriving under the impression she had to rescue her stranded brother, Ke'rii. She now lives in a small apartment in Shirogane.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Mei'li is petite and slender, with long black hair and green eyes. She is known to always seen in public wearing elegant gowns and beautiful dresses, and is rarely ever seen wearing anything “casual”. She has no easily seen scars on her face, but does, however, conceal a long scar at her hairline. Her body has a couple visible scars: a small one on her left calve muscle from a training accident, and a faded scar on the inside of her right hand from a dagger (obtained during her lordship ceremony). There are other scars, but none that just anyone would be able to see.
YUZHI MING
The Yuzhi Ming is a tradition that dates back hundreds of years for members of the Ogasawara family where Mother and Father would travel to the Cave of Life, hidden deep within the treacherous mountains of Owanatana on Adorus. With their unborn (or born) child, the parents would present their child to the Three Elders (Guoqu, Dangxia, and Weilai), who would offer them a Yuzhi Ming (or 'gift name'). The Three Elders are said to predict the child's past, present and future. To receive the Yuzhi Ming is seen as acceptance into the bloodline of the Three.Mei'li received her Yuzhi Ming at the same time as her twin sister, six months after she was born. The Elders gifted her with the name Nuan, which translates to Basic as "affectionate".

PERSONALITY
Mei'li is careful and calculated when presenting herself in public, and while this may come off as cold, she is very courteous and polite to others. But how much is hidden behind that warm smile? One can only wonder. Stubbornness is in her genes, but she have a level head and listens to reason. She knows when she is wrong. She is passionate about those she cares about and will be the first to stand up and defend them. Her kind nature has often mislead others into thinking she is weak and fragile, but this is far from the case. Despite her quiet nature, she can be very outgoing around those she knows well.
HOBBIES
Fashion, gardening, reading (prefers actual books to the digitized archives), writing in her diary. She is a classically trained dancer (loves all dance from classic ballet and waltz to disco and club-style dancing). Loves music. Is not the best cook, but tries. Spending time with her family and children.

((This character sheet was created specifically for an old guild I was in while playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. Not sure how valid it would be, but thought it might be something worth putting on here. Note that I do tend to stray away from combat/roll RP.))

FLAWS
A Touch of Light, A Touch of Dark - Mei’s training in the Force is unclear to most. On the surface, she is thought by many to be a Light Sided Sith, while she does not consider this to be the case at all despite her former master’s early teachings. She interprets the Dark Side somewhat differently than most, in a more personal sense pertaining to life as a whole rather than use of combat. She is very touchy on the subject, especially when questioned by her Sith peers.
Hesitant To Lead (Self-Doubt) - Early on in her career, Mei’li was entrusted to lead missions and assignments while she was an apprentice and a newly appointed Lord. Each mission, she was subjected to disobedient subordinates who would openly question and criticize every one of her commands, and often did not listen to her at all. Because of this, Mei will rarely jump at the opportunity for a command position.
Always The Apprentice, Never The Master - As a newly appointed Lord, Mei’li took on an Apprentice. Soon after, more powerful Sith plotted against her (including her own master), and stole her apprentice from her. She was openly criticized for being too slow in her teaching, too soft, and focused too much on the Light Side (a mis-representation by those who did not understand her). She has sown never to take an apprentice again, even going as far to deny those who sought her teachings.
Heart Over Mind - Mei’li reacts with her heart and does not always think rationally when it comes to those she loves and cares for.
Paranoia - Mei is extremely slow to trust.
Perfectionist - She is extremely hard on herself.
The Anti-Chef - Mei can’t cook, don’t eat it!

Out-of-Character
I am known as Mei-mei (she/her), and have been roleplaying since 2012. My first roleplay experience was in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Before that, I started to write 'seriously' (for fun!) beginning in 1999 (I'm sure I just dated myself there). I have experience writing comedy, romance, action, and drama. And I especially LOVE world building.I enjoy an immersive roleplay vs. light/casual. I really like to tell stories and work on character development. I also like organic story telling, meaning I go with the flow of how my character speaks to me. And if something with my character can be done in-game, I'm all for it rather than just "assuming" it happened and everyone moves on.TL;DR - I want to RP 24/7 if I could. Immersively.Note: I am not my characters. They have their own opinions, thoughts and personalities. I keep OOC out of my roleplaying.

The OOC on Mei'li
Mei'li comes from Star Wars: The Old Republic, and was my main character there for nearly a decade. I am keeping her history from that world, though I am NOT roleplaying the world of Final Fantasy XIV as Star Wars. If this poses an issue for you, then that's perfectly fine and we are not meant to be roleplay pals.Final Fantasy XIV Lore
I am not good with lore for FFXIV. I'm trying to learn as I go, so I design my characters with my weaknesses in mind. All my RP characters are not originally from the world of FFXIV, but I do not roleplay as if FFXIV is another world.My Roleplay Characters
If you happen across any of these characters, you've found me!

Roleplay Goal
To find a community of serious, yet fun, roleplayers to tell stories with and make friends in-character and out. I am an immersive roleplayer, so 99% of the time I am up for roleplaying. Please do not hesitate to approach me in-character (even without the Roleplay tag on).Roleplay Preferences
RP Style: | Heavy immersive RP. If we can avoid OOC chatter in the middle of a scene, I'm happy (unless for consent/warning reasons of course). I use prose form often in /em. /say is for quick "Hey! How are ya?" dialogue (and YES, I use quotations for ALL dialogue). I'm also comfortable in party or tell chats for more private conversations. Obviously the /em descriptive writing is adapted for /party or /tell. I very much prefer the use of third-person POV when roleplaying. Saying something like "I wave to you", just feels uncomfortable and can kill a scene for me. |
Immersion: | 100% |
Patience: | I'm a slow typer if I'm trying not to make typos. So please be patient and allow time to respond. |
Age: | I prefer to roleplay with adults. No minors please. |
OOC: | I will mark any out-of-character comments with (( )). For example: "Good to see you again, please sit with me." ((Phone BRB!)) |
RP Group Size: | I am most comfortable in smaller numbers and quieter settings. |
Relationships: | I do romance roleplay very selectively. In the case of Mei'li, she is married to another from her world, though has been known to stray into side romances (again, very selectively). On any character, I am very open to friendships, bromance, enemies, frenemies, business partners, etc. The more connections, the more immersion! |
Death: | No thanks. |
Violence/Combat: | I'm a bit sensitive to violence, so I tend to avoid violence or even combat RP. However, with trusted RP partners it is a possibility. |
Injuries: | Must be discussed. |
Rating: | I am an adult, so I am open to most RP from light and funny to mature content and even difficult/controversial topics. But consent is key! I am very sensitive, and this goes back to my violence topic above, to sexual assault. This does not mean my characters can't discuss it (I'd prefer not to be the victim of it), but please give me a heads up warning. Communication is key, so /tell and let me know. My character's are also not saints and will swear, sometimes a lot. If you do not like this, then please let me know and I will tame it down for you. |
Dice Rolls: | I am not a huge fan of this. Usually will only /random or /dice if in combat roleplay, but this is NOT a very smooth RP style for me. But I understand its need when in combat situations, but sometimes I may disagree with a roll if it doesn't fit my character's abilities. I RP in a "freestyle" manner rather than with technical numbers. For Mei'li, I do have an old Character Sheet from when I played her in Star Wars: The Old Republic. |
Real World: | When I roleplay, the things of our world do not exist. Memes, social media, pop culture, etc. I keep ALL these things OUT of my roleplay as they do not exist in the world where my characters exist. As an immersive RPer, bringing up things like this totally breaks the mood and will kill a scene for me. |
Please Don'ts: | Nothing breaks immersion more for me than "Hey, how are you today? :)". How do you say :) in language? "Hey, how are you? smilie face"? Please avoid the smilie faces, "LOLs", and what not. I like my RP partners to have good grammar (dialogue excluded if for in-character reasons of course), punctuation, and spelling. That said, I'm also Queen Typo, so spelling errors are totally excused. |
Godmodding: | If you "godmod" my character, meaning you make a motion or movement or say my character has said or done something and I did not post it first, I'm not happy. My characters are for me to control, not you. For example: You say /em says "Hey!" to Mei'li and she gives a kiss. EXCUSE ME? No she didn't! Please don't do this, its in poor taste. |
Metagaming: | Metagaming is when you know something about my character OOCly and then turn it into in-character knowledge without your character being told. I can't stand this. Either we RP a scene where you learn said information or I just stop talking to you OOCly. |
