A Possibly Inaccurate Telling of Asha's Past

"Right, so, you might not know this, but I'm actually a princess...""You don't believe me? It's rude to suggest that a lady is lying. What the bloody hells do you mean 'not a lady'?!""Alright, alright. I'll do you the real truth about me. I was born in Ul'dah, grew up in the Pearl Lane, and my clan basically raised me to be pickpocket. Bet you wish I told the princess story instead, yeah? Anyway, my mom was a piece of work. She tried to kill me. Failed, and with the help of my uncle, Whispering Steel...""Yes. My uncle's a Hellsguard. No, he's not a family friend I call uncle. He's blood. See, there's this ritual we do that involved a tea made from magic mushrooms... See, this is why I lie. When I tell the truth, people don't believe me. It's easier to make shite up. Do you want me to continue?""Right, so, see... With the help of my uncle, Whispering Steel, I ran away from home. After that, I joined lied about my age to join the adventurer's guild at fifteen, got into the Maelstrom and the tender age of seventeen, quite at twenty-two when I became disillusion, had an torrid affair with a with a man I later found out to be Ser Aymeric, trained under a renegade on the run from Garlemald, almost killed by my mother again, adopted an Allagan node as my son, stole an airship, joined a free company, made friends, stole from one of the said friends, failed to steal another airship...""Shite You don't believe any of that? Fine, I'll admit there's one lie... I don't have any friends. But what's the point of telling a story of you don't embellish it a little, yeah?"

"That Little Thing Called Real-Life", or "Who's Asha's Player?"

"Who are you?" Think of me as a sapient collection of lines of code. Nothing more, nothing less."That's bullshit." You don't know that. For all you know, I could be an AI created by the government who went rogue and decided that rather than conquering the world, I was going to role-play in the critically acclaimed MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV... But fine, if you want something more a honest, I'm an elder millennial that is currently taking care of a family member and has a lot of time to waste on the internet."What sort of role-playing do you like?" As far as this character is concerned, I crime and adventuring, but I'm cool with most things."Why the hell did you type this up like a FAQ?" Honestly? After rewriting this part more times than any other part of my character profile, I decided to have some fun with it."Anything else I should know if I want to role-play with you?" Outside the usual stuff that should be common sense ('IC is not OOC', etc.), I currently take care of an aging parent full-time. There's times when I might need to just bounce because of that."Do you prefer Discord RP or in-game RP?" Either or, really. I used to lean towards Discord RP, but these days I find myself doing more and more in-game stuff. A note... If we're playing on Discord and I go quiet for a couple of days, please ping me. The above caretaker issues means that sometimes I lose track of RPs."Are dark topics okay?" Provided we talk things over before, sure. I'm a fan of dark/mature role-playing but that means different things to different people so I feel it's better to discuss?""What about romance or ERP?" Romance and romance-related role-playing largely depends on whether or not our characters have chemistry with each other and requires build up.
