The Quiet Confessor
Happy to meet you! I'll keep it short and sweet!
Respect my boundaries as I respect yours. Please don't bleed IC to OOC. I'm socially awkward and timid and the real me isn't as interesting as my character, so I much prefer to keep things IC when interacting with people. It's not you, it's me.
I much prefer long term, character development RPing with stories and fun events to partake with others! But, I am not opposed to one-offs, meet and greets or whatever.
I prefer dark and mature themes, but I'm flexible for lighter tone themes and others.

"Throughout all my years of living, I've met countless of faces. Some, more despicable than others. And throughout my years of playing the role as a traveling Confessor, I've heard many confessions, too. Some, unforgivable and unspeakable. It's hard to imagine a man or a woman that has violated the lives of those around them and are still able to wander the streets of their cities, the streets of our roads throughout our lands.""The gods can always forgive, but, man does not. I am a flawed person, like everyone else and I've got sins of my own and hell, will one day catch up with me. But, until that time, it is my job, to console sinners, to forgive them of their acts and deeds, no matter how great or how small it may be. My personal bias opinion, means nothing in the face of righteousness and divinity. It is not my job to judge sinners, for I am a sinner, too.""I am but a mundane, unimpressive and ordinary person. Someone who wakes up at dawn's first sunlight, and blows the candles in the late dusk bells. To accomplish the same tasks, day by day, to listen to people, to not judge and to forgive, so as they may find comfort upon my bosom and sleep better at night. To guide those who genuinely seek forgiveness, towards absolution and be reborn anew. I am an equalizer.""So, tell me, then... What are your sins, my child?"
COMMONConfession?
"Come, I invite thee to take a seat with me and tell me what is troubling thy mind and soul. I shall not judge thee, for man has not right nor place to judge man. As an imperfect soul, I am merely thy guide of light, in the midst of thy dark, stormy night and provide thee with brief enlightenment and absolution, should thy heart desire it so. If these walls could speak, what stories could they share? Allow me to lend mine ear to thee."What calm aether, she has, like a steady, quiet sea on a cold, fall night:
"My aether burns bright like a glistening speck in the night sky. Yet, it is as calm as the night's sea. If need be, allow mine aether to pose as a beacon of light to thee, in the darkest of nights, and in the deepest tunnels of despair of what Hells you fight in thy mind."What are you reading there? What's it about?
"Ah, this? It's a fascinating tale of a Thavnairian Princess who's life was not her own. I dare not spoil the story for you, but, we can talk more about it, if you really are that interested. And if not, but, you're interested in inquiring about books, I can recommend a few titles for you, too. Anything to break the ice, I'm always happy to have a friendly stranger to engage conversation with, even if it is mundane and dry. It's never a waste of time to me."I heard you you know how to 'throw hands', is that true?
"Well, would it be lying if I said, 'no'? Or, would it be bragging if I said, 'yes'?"
UNCOMMONSo, about 'throwing hands'... Can you teach/train me?
"If you're patient, willing to do as I say, follow as I say, and not complain all the way through, then, I think we can arrange something, yes. Keep in mind, however... You won't be proficient in anything simply from day to night just like that. I will be here to spot you, but, you have to put in the work."Aether sensing?
"I've always had a gift... Nay, a knack for aether sensory. I am not aether sensitive by any means, nor am I one of the gifted few to possess the Echo, nothing like that... But, years of hard work, dedication, endurance and training, have led me to be an excellent Bloodhound for aether. It's not something I am open about, really, but, if I can help with something in relation to it, I will try my best."-Whisper, whisper, mutter, mutter:- I heard the Mother of Confessor is a Nymphomaniac... Is that true? "Despite my best efforts to remain a holy woman, I am ashamed to admit that I am no different than everyone else that sins in this world. Whether it is a Holy See Knight of Ishgard, or a Holy See brother, or... simply a resident coming to confession, it's difficult to restrain my carnal urges, yet, even if I opposed it, the lips that promised to remain sealed, will sing and their song, echoed throughout the walls of the Cathedral. This is simply who I am, in the end. A shameless, sinful follower of Halone. And someday, Hell will catch up with me, too."
RAREEqualizer - "Black wasps, dark fairies/Swarm into the night and kiss/My adversaries.Before I embark/On my journey of revenge/I shall dig two graves.In a world of rot/I serve as its black reaper/emissary."I don't sense anyone around, it must've been the wind...
"The light that once shined/In me, fades, as darkness reaps/But a speck remains..."I found The Gold Card, and I can't take this anymore! My son, my daughter, both gone, and all because of a that-- THAT GANG?! The local authorities have dismissed my case or aren't doing anything more about it at this point! No... I won't stand for it, I'm going to get in touch with the owner of this Gold Card...
"If it is mine blade/You seek, a price must be paid/Consider it done.If it's injustice/There is no need for coin bags/Leave the rest to me."Is there really such a thing as a 'Brotherhood' of Assassins? Sounds like something someone made up or took straight out of a book's tale, hah! What a bloody joke!
"The Brotherhood of Mirage shall never be revealed to the outside world. Society knows not of our existence, and so our brothers and sisters of the shadows shan't ever be known to the world outside. We do not follow the rules, the law of men, of Eorzea, the Far East, Ishgard, Ala Mhigo, Garlemald, nor here, in our home of Thavnair, the Near East. Take care, my brothers and sisters of the shadows and remember, nothing is true, everything is permitted."
"It matters not as to the status you possess in the greater public. From politician, to soldier and war criminal... My hands, my blade do not have jurisdiction in delivering cold justice."
"And like a venomous serpent among the branches I watch you from below. Every move, every detail, every pattern."
"The serpent is not stopped by range of reach, and so my roped blade will sink its fangs into you, like the beautiful bite of a viper before its body wrings around your neck to pull you up..."
"As your now cold corpse hangs from the tree branch above, so you shall be set an example for the rest of your comrades..."
"A slow, bloody and gruesome death as you choke on your own blood while being strung up. Such similar fates await those with the a 'third eye'. Because mine is far more superior and always shall be."
"It is a somber day when your own Ishgard kin are guilty of great sin..."
"Although the church and Holy See are unaware of your horrendous sins, I am not..."
"And the Brotherhood of Mirage does not forgive and does not forget. Gerard Lacroix, you've been marked by me..."
"The hands of justice hath no mercy upon those who've sinned an unforgivable sin."
"You can cry, you can struggle, you can try to scream for help and you can urinate your pants... Hell, you'll be doing that in just a moment anyway..."
"Despite thine fruitless efforts, thou dies a meaningless death, judged by Halone herself. May thine soul never find the peace thou doth not deserve."
"Thy life ended here and mines shall go on. This is the way of our order, of our justice..."
"Trosoux Fulasane. A criminal overlord that operated mostly in the shadows and dealings in the Black Market..."
"Even a gangster overlord is blind to the world around them. The moment an opening comes up, rest assured I will be taking that job and keeping an eye on you. But do not let my facade smile assure you that all is well..."
"Unlike your eyes, mine see through the thin veil of the fraud and coward that you truly are..."
"It's almost sad to see just how easy a person let's their guard down, that I find it difficult to believe it can truly be that simple. And it is an opening I will use to my advantage on anyone else that has the misfortune to cross my path."
"The moment you drop you guard, will be the moment my blade will find its way into the back of your neck and you'll never know it was coming at all. Enjoy the comfort of your grandiose armchair, the warmth of your fireplace and your cheese and crackers."
"A once, well respected man of business turned gangster overlord of the Black Market will not be missed by anyone. Requiescat in pace. The world will be better off without you."
"A man is easy to seduce when he thinks he has the entire world at the palm of his hands..."
"K'tyaka was no different from any other ordinary narcissist scumbag. It's too easy to trick those who are already tricking themselves."
"With a man's balls in the palm of mine hands, I have moved all the pieces in place to call 'checkmate' on the sinner..."
"A narcissist deserves a slow death, it will be the only time they will ever earn any silence from themselves in their lives..."
"This gangbanger was no different from the other wannabe scumbags that plague our world and ruin the lives of the innocent for their own benefit."
"Because these men are so small, I leave his disgusting abode unsatisfied and yet got the job done regardless."
"Requiescat in pace, K'tyaka. This world will certainly be best off without you now."
"This is the way of the Brotherhood and we never look back, as it distracts us from what awaits us ahead next..."
"Jesse Stark, a gang lord who hails from The New World..."
"There is often a pattern that forms in the ones that I judge and it is obvious what that is. Men like Jesse think they possess all the cards in their favor..."
"A man consumed by his greed led to forcing himself in place of the last gang lord. Jesse thought he had it all and that greed of his was soon to catch up with him..."
"A mindless opo thinks of naught else but their own greed. Jesse wore such a ridiculous grin across his face, oblivious to everything in life, because he was too used to having it all."
"A man guilty of murder, treason, money laundering, rape, torture..."
"Fools blinded by their sins. Everyone is living in their fantasies until the day they are challenged do they finally come to open their eyes."
"So for now, enjoy the show while I'm around, because I will always know how to show you a good time before the sting of venomous fangs penetrate your flesh..."
"If you are guilty, the last thing you'll ever see from me is a facade smile perhaps. Or simply a stone cold face with a glaring gaze set upon yours; or if you're lucky, seduced before meeting the venomous sting of my dagger."
"Simpleminded men always think they have it all and when the time comes for their sins to catch up with them..."
"They act surprised, as if they didn't see it coming ever, nor consider it at least. The cold truth of reality is..."
"We all have to pay for our sins sooner or later. Not even I am exempt from this rule."
"And someday Hell will catch up with me too..."
"But until then, I shall continue to deliver justice where justice is due... That is what we do and that is what I shall continue to do so long as I draw breath."
"Jefaqi Fifaqi. The lowest of of the low, literally and figuratively."
"People often claim to view Lalafells as 'childlike' and through their ignorance and misjudgment does therein lie one's mistake. Some are true monsters hidden behind such small figures..."
"Jefaqi was one of such monsters. Someone who laundered money from the poor, beat them, killed them and still took everything they had left for himself. He was no business man, but only a blood sucking leech that bled the innocent dry."
"Even though my hands comfort him, a venomous viper will always be deadly and when she get's the chance, she will wrap herself around your neck..."
"It was over before he even realized what happened. Some people do no deserve the mercy of a painless death, but I do not like to waste my time and my way of toying with my prey is different."
"Jefaqi was marked for death and is now among the dead. The people of Thavnair could finally rest easier knowing that there is one less chigoe plaguing their streets and killing off the innocents..."
"I cannot say I enjoy doing what I do, but if nobody else will, then who? This is what I do and this is who I am, an equalizer."
"So remember... If I ever see your name on a card, or a bounty... No matter where you are in the world, I will find you and I will catch up with you. This is the way of things, cause and effect. And your actions have consequences. I'll be watching you.."
