Fenris

Fenris Feralheart embodies the tormented soul of a vengeful beastmaster and self-taught engineer, driven by a deep-seated hatred for the Garlean Empire following the destruction of his village and the loss of his family. His personality is a complex blend of fierce determination, innovative intelligence, and a dark willingness to cross moral boundaries in pursuit of revenge. Despite his ruthless methods and the internal conflict they stir, Fenris retains a fragment of his former compassion, particularly towards those oppressed by the Empire and the beasts he cares for. This duality makes him deeply conflicted, torn between the savagery of vengeance and the remnants of his humanity.

Fenris is a deeply conflicted muse. While he harbors a seething hatred for Garleans for story reasons, my hope is to create a redemption arc for him. The character is played with moderation, only utilizing these aspects of his personality when most needed. I understand the importance of roleplaying any type of general hatred with elegance and grace, and hope to create emotionally charged scenes that feel accomplished rather than needless hatred.

rules.

✧

one.

My character is not me, their actions are not my actions. I am happily married and my wife and I are looking for friends and fun, not romance. Friends OOC are great, but please do not expect romantic relationships.

two.

Writer is 25+, and I will only RP with others that are at least 21+. Many of my characters are quite dark, and their stories involve themes that I am not comfortable RPing with anyone under 21. For this reason, I do not RP with Lalafells either.

✧

three.

Do not commit a cardinal sin of RP, including but not limited to metagaming or godmodding.

four.

Do not interact if all you are interested in is ERP or slice of life. I will gladly RP these in moderation and as the stories encourage, but I am looking for deep forms of storytelling.

✧

five.

I love walk ups and tells, but I have no problem with being the one to initiate. Shy? Just send me a /tell with a smiley face, I'll take it from there. I am primarily looking for long term roleplay. I participate in all forms of RP, but particularly looking for dark, mature, adventure, horror and romance.

six.

I will RP with the entire spectrum of lore OCs as long as they are will written. All of my muses are pretty grounded in the lore and overall not very special, but I have no problem RPing with lore adjacent/breaking characters. However, if the character isn't well written and can do it all and has no flaws, I will probably politely tell you I'm not interested in continuing.

  ERP    DNI if all you're looking for is ERP. I don't mind writing it but I need there to be substance behind the smut.
  Preferred Themes     Dark, horror, mature, adventuring, combat, romance, paranormal, eldritch, slice of life
  Combat     RNG, Stats or RP are all fine methods.
  Doubling   I am open to doubling, either ingame or via Discord. Discord may be easier for doubling.
  OOC     I love making friends OOC. I'm always up for playing other games, watching anime, memeing and just generally being gremlin degenerates. Expect lots of pet pictures.

Thank you for reading my carrd! I'm Gryphon and Fenris is one of several muses. I've been RPing for a couple decades, and in XIV since 2.0. My writing style is  multi-para responses , typically 2-3 paragraphs, but I can also adapt as needed. I'm looking primarily for  longterm roleplay  via ingame, Discord or both. My writing tends to be darker but I will also communicate any potential trigger warnings and respect all boundaries. As long as we avoid OOC drama and respect each other's boundaries, I am sure we will have a good time. Let's write some fantastic stories together!

Skills

Abilities

Enhanced Senses. Through his bond with the animal kingdom and his own augmentations, Fenris has developed heightened senses, allowing him to track his enemies with remarkable precision and detect threats that would elude most others.Mechanical Augmentation. Utilizing his self-taught engineering skills, Fenris can augment his animal companions with mechanical enhancements, increasing their strength, speed, or resilience. This ability also extends to creating unique prosthetics for himself, offering him enhanced physical capabilities or interfacing directly with his machinery.Beast Fusion. In moments of dire need, Fenris can perform a ritual that temporarily merges his essence with that of one of his beast companions. This fusion grants him extraordinary physical and magical abilities reflective of the beast's nature, though at a great personal risk and energy cost.Nature's Ally. Fenris can call upon the forces of nature to aid him, summoning elemental energies or causing the terrain itself to hinder his enemies. This ability showcases his deep connection with the world around him and his mastery over its more mystical aspects.

Fenris Feralheart's journey from a tranquil life surrounded by the natural world to a figure consumed by vengeance is a tale of profound transformation and resilience. Born into a small, secluded village nestled within the lush landscapes that border Garlean territory, Fenris grew up with an intrinsic connection to the wilds, developing an early bond with the creatures of the forest. This harmony was a cornerstone of his identity, teaching him the delicate balance of nature and the importance of living in coexistence with all living beings.

His peaceful existence, however, was shattered in an instant when Garlean forces, in their relentless pursuit of expansion, destroyed his village in a brutal display of power. The attack left nothing but ruin, taking from Fenris everything he held dear: his family, his friends, and his home. This event became the catalyst for his transformation, igniting a deep-seated hatred for the Garlean Empire and a burning desire for vengeance.

In the aftermath, Fenris found himself alone, his life irrevocably changed. Driven by his need for retribution, he ventured into the wilderness, seeking solace and purpose among the beasts he had once communed with. It was here, in the depths of his despair, that he discovered his true calling. Fenris honed his skills as a beastmaster, not merely communicating with the animals but forging a deeper, more powerful connection. He learned to command them, to share in their strength and ferocity, making them allies in his quest against the Garlean oppressors.

But Fenris's talents extended beyond beastmastery. His keen intellect and insatiable curiosity led him to explore the remnants of Garlean technology left in the wake of their destruction. Self-taught and driven by necessity, he became an adept engineer, blending technology with the natural world in ways previously unimagined. He crafted devices and machines to augment his capabilities and those of his animal companions, turning them into formidable opponents against the Garlean forces.

Yet, this path was not without its moral quandaries. Fenris's methods grew increasingly extreme, his experiments on captured Garleans blurring the lines between justice and vengeance, savior and monster. Despite the darkness that consumed him, Fenris remained a complex figure, tormented by the actions he deemed necessary in his war against the Empire. His struggle with the ethical implications of his vengeance highlighted the conflict within him, a man torn between the desire to avenge his past and the remnants of the compassionate soul he once was.

—   one.

Are you a Garlean? Defector or not, Fenris is going to suspect you if not outright loathe you. If you enjoy conflict drive RP, this could be a great hook. Otherwise, it'd be best to avoid him. There's only one Garlean he ever trusted.. will he ever trust again?

—   three.

Fenris has a reputation amongst bounty hunters for his ferocity, sometimes not even returning with the bodies and skipping payment. No one knows what he does with them, though a skilled detective might discover the similarities in the cases.

—   five.

Despite selling a great deal of his soul in the pursuit of revenge, there's a glimmer of hope for redemption. Fenris is often at conflict with himself and remembers the loving Viera he used to be, with a respect for all living things. Perhaps the right influence can come along to soften his heart once again..

—   two.

Were you suppressed by the Garlean empire and have a grievance against them, particularly other Viera? Fenris will gladly buy you a beer to drown out your sorrows. Get enough drinks in him and you may realize not all is as it appears..

—   four.

In a sick sense of humor, Fenris has created his own proprietary brand of magitek enhancements through experimentation of his Garlean captures. Currently outfitted himself with such technologies, his beasts are outfitted as well. He may be willing to outfit you as well, for the right price..

—   six.

Despite his dark nature, Fenris is fairly social and approachable. There is a variety of scars and tech littering his body and each has their own story to tell.
