It was another night in the Black Shroud, humid and warm, as if always been during the summer. Twisting branches and lush leaves trapping the forest in a capony did little to fight back that summer heat from the day. The night brought shelter and comfort, but still one could easily sweat.Namu'to had learned that the hard way when he took off in a sprint to begin his night. He hadn't made it through the murky soil of Rootslake before his ebony top clung to him as it soaked. By the time he made it further into the forest area the top stuck to him so tight that every detail of his muscles could be seen. His abs and back worked against the cloth like his own skin, lithe frame built for speed and stealth. He was not bulky like other men, but that didn't make him any less lethal. The bow, and various smaller blades further proved that point. He had a silent stalk in his step, and he moved more akin to a feline, even feminine.He slowed until he found a spot to rest near a creek. Sitting against the ground, back leaned to a tree. He stared up the canopy, hand brought up to remove the decorated mask he wore. It was a thing of beauty, tan wood with rose petals etched in like they were dancing in a breeze, then there was his face.Calling him handsome would be an understatement, he was beautiful. His face soft, decorated with light blue paint which had smeared due to the sweat, it was perfect expect for the single scar on his left cheek. And that lemon green eyes seemed liked they glowed in the darkness, sharp and keen while he scanned the twisting branches above. His dusk skin only enhanced the colorful features, making him look mystical in the shadow of the forest.A sigh of relief drew out his lips, nearly as silent as his steps, while he attached the mask to his shoulder. His focus remained to the branches above until a small disturbance made the leaves dance. His companion had arrived, and she announced herself with a subtle caw. A sound he mimicked back to confirm his presence. Then there was silence, only the forest around them sung and danced. There was no need for them to communicate further, but he knew she would stay close to watch his surroundings.There he waited, watching the forest around them. A hunter's gaze as he scanned the area, long feline ears upward to hear any alarming noise. It was only when he knew he was safe that he removed the bow and quiver from his back, then went to remove his top. Boots and pants followed, all of which hung over a low hanging branch. Everything besides his weapons, which he carried with him as he stalked to the edge of the creek.A fallen tree hung over the creek, weapons hidden in a hollow spot, and then he took to crossing it with perfect balance. Foot ahead and the other behind, arms stretched out like wings. One step after another, a sway here and there. His blue-black tail swaying to balance him when needed. Each motion careful and silent as he came to the middle of the fallen tree. There, he lowered himself to sit, legs dangled off as he looked to the creek below.There was a faint curve on his lips as he danced his legs forward and then back. It wasn't long when he found himself lowering downward from the fallen tree. His toes broke the surface of the water, and then a splash as he threw himself in. He submerged himself entirely for a moment, breaking the surface again as he came back up. A smile and relief on his face as the cool water streamed down his dusk skin. A nice break from the summer heat, and a pleasant way to start the night.He had swum a couple of laps before simply floating on his back. Lemon green eyes staring above at the canopy. There was just enough space to see the twinkling lights that peppered the night sky, and of course, there was the crescent moon above. His eyes closed then, a silent pray to his goddess who embraced him in the night. Menphina, the Lover.

Namu’to Phamsiki, Second Son of Namu, is a young quiet, reserved wanderer of the Black Shroud. He spends most of his time stalking the southern region in search of flora or aiding nature against the poachers and bandits that plague the region. He is often seen with his mask, which is decorated with dancing rose petals, and his dark attire made to blend in with dark nights under the canopy. At times he feels like a walking armory. Bow strapped to his back, throwing knives sheathed along the straps, and a few daggers hidden here and there. When his bow failed him, he turns to his magic and poisons. And if the time calls for it, his hawk companion Harribel is often lurking nearby to aid him when needed.Despite his appearance, Namu’to is a kind, gentle man. He prefers spending his time with animals or wandering nature when the city becomes too much. At his home in Rootslake he tends to the gardens and livestock his clan keeps. Though he does not stay long before he is back on the road. As traditional as he is, his matriarch gave him permission to stay at home whenever he desired. With her permission he set aside a hovel near the clan home for when he took a break from his wandering.

  • Roleplay Hooks

  • Wanderer (Traditional) - Namu’to is usually spotted wandering the Black Shroud in the dead of night. As most male Keepers do, since so few in number, he attempts to visit with other clans or members of his kin. He typically sticks away from settlements or the city-states, but lately has been seen visiting new places more and more, per the request of his Matriarch.

  • Keeper (Traditional) - Namu’to is of Clan Phamsiki of the Rootslake. He is the second son of Namu, who was the former Matriarch of the clan. Currently his older sister, Sahrah Phamsiki, sits as Matriarch of the clan. Normal traditions say he must leave home, but currently Clan Phamsiki is small and rebuilding, requiring him to stick close.

  • Clan Phamsiki (Traditional) - Clan Phamsiki of the Rootslake make their home in the foothills along the marsh lands. Their symbol is the rose, and their current Matriarch is Sahrah Phamsiki, Namu’to’s older sister. Their clan is not widely known and specialize in: Botany; Alchemy; Healing; Magic; Animal Handling. They worship both Menphina, the Lover and Nophica, the Matron.

  • Religious (Traditional) - Namu'to is very connected with the Twelve and heeds their guidance when it is needed. Every action he takes he considers their teachings, even when offering advice to others. The Matron, The Lover, and The Wanderer are among the Twelve who he holds the highest regard, though he also speaks strongly of the Spinner who by her hands weaves his fates.

  • Insightful (Beastmaster) - Having been reading the habits of beast most his life, Namu'to has become quite insightful, even when it comes to Spoken. He tends to study those he meets, feeling that his eyes can see more than words.

  • Shroud Vigilante (Beastmaster): When in the Black Shroud, Namu'to spends most his nights picking fights with the local bandits and poachers. He can often be found disabling traps, tending to the animals caught, or hauling off the poor beast which were left for dead in the traps. Due to his activities trouble often finds him, or maybe he seeks it out himself. Even in the city he can be found going head-to-head with the various corruption plaguing the star.

  • Beastmaster (Class) - Namu’to has always had a strong connection with animals and prefers them over people. That is not to say he doesn’t enjoy the company of others, just that he places his trust more in animals. He has a dislike for animal cruelty but believes in the natural cycle. He dislikes the Bloodsands in Ul’dah, thinking it cowardly to use a caged beast for entertainment. There are also the poachers and bandits of the Shroud who are his enemies, often disarming their traps and mending any animals caught in them.

  • Botany/Gardening (Trade) - Namu’to enjoys going out to collect herbs or seeds for his garden. He typically trades them for other goods or gil, and the rare times he must tribute. He also favors jobs related to this, and can be seen accepting leves from time to time.

  • Animal Husbandry (Trade) - Namu’to would take care of the livestock growing up, and that hasn’t changed since he got older. He tends to raise animals for their leather and meat, sometimes wool. He also tended to the stables of his clan where they kept one or two chocobo. One of his favorite pastimes was chocobo riding, and sometimes he grows curious about the racing competitions being held.

  • Leatherworking (Trade) - Originally a means to repair his own gear, Namu’to has found more uses of leatherworking in the form of trading. He typically doesn’t take requests but is more than willing to help repair somes gear for a small fee.

  • Cooking (Trade): Having already known the basics of cooking, taught to him by his mother, Namu'to had been recently taking lessons from the guild in Limsa to advance this skill. He isn't an all-star chef, but what he can whip up is as tasty and filling as some of the better than average chefs at Bismarck.

  • Romance (Flexible Hook) - Due to Keeper traditions, Namu'to does not seek out long term relationships with anyone. A Wanderer's duty is typically seeking out other Keepers or clans for procreation means. Bonds can be formed with others, however, anything monogamous is likely not going to happen. (This is not saying he can't be romanced, it's just very hard to do.)

  • Ongoing Plots / Character Growth

Namu'to is a growing character so things in this carrd may differ from how he acts should he be encountered. His clothing and personality might alter depending on the people who come into his life and teach him about life outside the Shroud. Themes around new experiences or exploring the world are highly recommended when setting up a scene, that's not to say themes outside those are not encouraged. Any changes or plots that are current plots or character growth will be added to this section.

  • Talkative (Character Growth): Since starting his journey Namu'to has learned to be more talkative with others. It turns out people really enjoyed hearing about his views of the world and consider his advice helpful. He now considers offering this kindness to anyone he meets, regardless of their background.

  • Retainer (Character Growth): In his search for more gil, Namu'to has now found himself employed, as a retainer, for a young Viera woman named Rafi Yascaret. He has not start to employ himself to doing work for other people for a, almost laughable, small fee. Types of Work: Hunting, Gathering, Wilderness Guide, Protection.

  • New Employment (Character Growth): Namut'to recently joined up with a group of like-minded people, though he rarely talks about their dealings in public. He seems happy with his choice in joining with them! A bit of doing the right thing but in the wrong way.

  • Matriarch's Request (Ongoing Plot): At the request of his Matriarch, Namu'to has been sent from the Shroud to train with a mentor in Thanalan. As part of the request, he was told to explore the lifestyle of the city, and not to return until he figured out the point of his Matriarch's request. Namu'to was not told to stay in Thanalan for this time but instead encouraged to explore the star while he continues his train. Mayhaps he'll meet some influences along the way to slowly grow out of his shell or be dragged out to a city or venue.

  • Feather Pendant (Gift/Equipment): A recent gift to himself, Namu'to wears a necklace with a pendant of three feathers. The small red and white feather being real. A symbol to remind him of the person he loves most.

  • Ghost Ward (Gift/Equipment): Clipped to his belt is a small keychain with a jack-o-lantern pendant, a gift from a close friend. The item itself is a protective ward from ashkin (ghost).

  • Casual/Street Clothing (Gift/Equipment): Namu'to was recently introduced to the latest fashion trends that are popular with people his age. As an attempt to fit in more while in the city, Namu'to was dragged out to go shopping where he acquired some casual/street attire.

  • Wanderer's Travel Log

Namu'to's character growth will see him travel to new and far places. The places below are Regions of which he has been and now has easy access to via aetheryte travel. For plot reasons these will be the only places he'll be able to roleplay in.

  • Not Interested In!

  • Super-strong characters, WoLs, Ascians, Voidsent, Sin Eaters, etc. (Androids/Mammets are okay as long as it is kept within reason and not power gaming.)

  • Hookups, pointless ERP. (Absolutely NO nsfw or romance with Lalafel!)

  • OOC drama/IC-OOC Mixing.

  • Character death or loss of limbs. Temporary injuries are fine.

  • Monogamous (Due to Keeper traditions, Namu'to will not form only one relationship with a single person.)

Nothing here suits your fancy? All good! I'm open to almost anything, and willing to roll with anything thrown at me!~


  • Screenshots

  • "Crime" Screenshots (Done by a friend!)


  • NSFW "Crime" Screenshots (Done by a friend!)


  • I go by Dizzy (They/Them) and I'm 30+ years of age but feel free to call me by whatever character you know me as.

  • I will only roleplay with fellow adults (21+). Please do not approach if you or your character are underage.

  • I'm very much an introvert and suffer from social anxiety, because of this I rarely do walk-ups or send tells to start a scene. I'll even clam up if I spy anyone targeting me or sending me a tell; please don't be insulted if my OOC responses are short. It's just who I am.

  • My IC post can be (most likely) slow and known to have typos. I'm not the best at typing and oftentimes my thought process in writing properly can lead me to be slow in the response; typos tend to happen due to this as I try to rush out the emote to not keep the other waiting.

  • I've been Roleplaying for roughly eight years now. Having experience in World of Warcraft and now Final Fantasy XIV.

  • My availability can be tight to some, generally only free Sundays [8PM to 8PM] and Mondays [8PM to 8PM] (CST US). Some rare appearances can happen on my workdays.

  • I prefer one or two para emotes but can also do simple on-liners and such.

  • I do enjoy RPing in the open world. The Quicksand and Housing areas can be boring.

  • I'm open to all forms of Roleplay. (I don't accept character deaths; FFXIV is not alt friendly, and it would be annoying to reroll). I prefer adventure, character growth, and relationship building.

  • I don't shy away from ERP but there must be some form of build up or reasoning for the scene. I'll just ignore people who come at my characters with the sole purpose for ERP. If such a scene does happen and it becomes the only focus of the characters from that point; I will part ways. Balmung is next door if you're looking for that, have fun.

  • I do not use /crimes/, nor do I see the /moon/. Sorry if this is a roleplay mood killer for you, but I'm just not comfortable with such things.

  • If you ever catch me then feel free to ask me for a scene; due to my shyness I can often overlook asking myself and I'm rather gentle with a letdown should I be busy that day.

Thanks for taking the time to view all the carrd details! Hope to see you in game and do some roleplayin'!~
