About
Appearance
Kjellska is short compared to others of her race (about 6 feet), and is somewhat chubby due to spending many of her years sat at a desk. After years of covering herself up in boring white clothes, she has picked up quite a few interesting outfits in Eorzea. She can usually be found with a thaumaturge's staff on her back, as well as her signature white round glasses. She does know a spell that allows her to go without them for some time, but she doesn't cast it too often.
Personality
Kjellska is usually very cheerful despite getting the short end of the stick more often than not. She is kind to those she encounters, though she becomes stubborn and somewhat dramatic once someone steps on her toes or tries to butt into one of her areas of expertise. Picking up combat magic has boosted her already fiery attitude, and she tends to join into other's fights even if no one asked her to. She often feels lonely due to her odd upbringing, and has a deep desire to find a community where she can truly belong and form meaningful relationships.
She is also bisexual.
After-hours
Kjellska spends most of her free time training both thaumaturgy and bladework with the amalj'aa of the Brotherhood of Ash. They've also taught her how to whittle bone into various artifacts that she uses to barter for goods. Other than that, she does enjoys collecting all manner of trinkets and toys — figures and plushes. Fashion is also a pretty big interest, with her applying to model for interesting outfits whenever she has the opportunity.
Kjellska was born in the land of Bozja, right on the cusp of the Garlean invasion. Sensing the imminent conflict, her community made a deal with Sharlayan: her and other newborns were to be taken as refugees to the island of scholars, and in exchange its gleaners would be allowed to take back with them whatever artifacts they deemed valuable enough to be protected from the fires of war. And so, they were adopted by the selfsame gleaners and (tentatively) given Sharlayan citizenship.As they grew up, they found that they wanted to follow in the same path their adoptive family laid out for them. One by one, they grew up and became gleaners themselves and set out to explore the world. That is, except for Kjellska. Once she hit 20 summers, she walked out of her house determined to join her siblings in exploring the world... only for her to go through a comedy of errors that resulted in her becoming the personal assistant of a Studium professor.Please ask her about it it's a really funny story.For the next ten years, she slowly became more adept at organization, archival and menial paperwork. A perfectly adequate, though mind-numbing career that her mentor was content keeping her into. Though after the Final Days and the opening of the Studium for non native Sharlayan citizens, he seemingly had a change of heart. He would send her out on a journey to learn more about the world and herself — so that she could come back with the inspiration needed to enroll into the Studium in whatever area of knowledge she fell in love with during her travels.Once she got to Eorzea, though? She realized that maybe a life of study isn't for her, and decided to go on adventuring! How long that will last is still up in the air, so if you find her on your travels, make sure to greet and ask her how she's been!
Hooks
Treasure Hunter: Have any leads? Want to form a party? Found her blasting poor critters inside a dungeon somewhere and want to compliment her? Come say hi!
Flame-Touched: Have any business with the Brotherhood of Ash? Found yourself ambushed by rogue Flamefangs? Need a flame drake right around Southern Thanalan? Kjellska!
Heritage Lost: Are you a Hrothgar, or just from Bozja in general? Know a great deal about their culture in general? Kjellska sure doesn't, prepare for an interview!
Boneworks: Need bones? Need anything made out of bones? Yes you do. Go ask her for it!
Eater: She's lived in Sharlayan for so long, do you really think she'll pass a decent meal?
The Adventure Tracker
This page will be used to track Kjellska's current whereabouts, possessions and interesting places she has been in where her character has been further developed and matured in one way or another.
Developments
Important events that affected her in some way.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Scare of a lifetime | Kjellska, Dianne, Izaya and Ralault delved into the haunted basement at the Dragon's Spine Tavern and confronted a specter of pure hatred. They emerged victorious, but a grand conspiracy was uncovered in the process. As for Kjellska? She got a big scare and a newfound liking of alcohol. |
| First Draft | After having a bit too much to drink at the Dragon's Spine, Kjellska meets someone that instills in her the idea of researching about the connection between pictomancy and the "creation magicks" of the so called "ancients". Problem is, neither of these topics have much formal writing. Oh no! |
| Flame-Touched | A coin was rolled, and she decided to train with the Amalj'aa group known as the Brotherhood of Ash - a Souther Thanalan based settlement that is against tempering and thus more friendly to the Spoken races. She based this choice on her slightly fire-aspected aether, hoping the clan would be able to refine and bring out her true potential. |
| Marks the Spot | After approaching and applying for the Diamond Bazaar, Kjellska got a position as a treasure hunter! Problem is, she has no idea where to start looking for leads. Who knows what she might find, though? |
| End of Service | Kjellska's contract as a secretary has finally ended! She moved to Eorzea and is currently living in Diamond Bazaar housing, but is also setting up an apartment in the Goblet in the meantime. She has also discovered she has no memory of anything before her 20th nameday. |
| What happened? | After a series of events that resulted from a session of Amalj'aa divination, Kjellska underwent a ritual to recover her lost memories. |
| Leave a message | With the help of Dianne and Izaya, Kjellska found the manor in which she resided for the first twenty summers of her life. Painful memories were relived, and a mysterious omen was issued. She also managed to recover a piece of bozjan white auracite with a comforting memory inside. What memory that is, she'll have to find out. |
| Wealthy benefactor | Kjellska was employed by one Mimilu Milu, a wealthy Ul'dah benefactor whose hobbies include collecting the bones of exotic creatures. Just her luck! |
| Trip to Bozja | Kjellska is off to help with the Bozjan restoration for a few months. |
| The return | And she's back! And somewhat shaken up by the things she's seen and done over there. |
OOC
Hello! My name is Mei and I've been roleplaying for about 10-ish years now. I'm still relatively new to roleplaying in FFXIV despite this technically being my third character — and I plan on developing this one for as long as I can. Here's the usual info that goes in this part of the carrd:
Rules
No metagaming or godmoding, keep IC and OOC separate, be nice (when OOC at least), the usual stuff.
I like to stick close to the lore but I am by no means a specialist and inevitably will end up making some mistakes.
Will do dark/mature themes, but please communicate first if you plan on doing anything extreme to my character.
Romance will be very slow burn and is not primarily what I'm looking for. Not comfortable with ERP, will fade-to-black if necessary.
Prefer to interact with those over 18, even if not writing any mature topics.
Info
IGN: Kjellska Olgasch.
Home world: Siren (Aether).
Preferred genres: Casual, slice of life, adventuring, lore exploration, some others I can't recall right now.
I prefer in-game roleplaying, but Discord is fine.
Will only be IC when the RP tag is on.
I'm not able to get a subscription consistently, so it's best to ask me whenever you want to plan something out.
Feel free to ask me if you need anything clarified!
Miscellaneous IC
Here is some IC information that didn't really fit into the other pages and/or is mostly just fun trivia.
Kjellska has a decently large pool of aether, which has gone mostly unutilized up until now.
Her aether is slightly fire aspected. Not enough to cause any health conditions, but enough to be noticeable to those with aethersight.
She sounds like Pastel from Graffiti Kingdom (the little blue thing).
