Biography

Rory is a very energetic, free spirited mercenary pilot who often bounces from one place to another, looking for work opportunities. Those who had the pleasure or displeasure to work with her, can describe her as someone either recklessly stupid, or stupidly brave. She left her homeland at very young age, refusing to accept the harsh traditions her clan tried to enforce upon the Viera. Flying in the skies means everything to her, and she will fiercefully protect her last bastion of freedom. In private life she is very social and outgoing, although she tends to brew a lot of trouble and mischief especially when having few drinks too many. She also tends to brag a lot about her deeds, which often gets her into trouble and many, maaaany tavern brawls. True scoundrel with a strict moral compass.

Looking for a competent freighter to organize the necessary logistics for your establishment? Or perhaps you need a pilot who will fly you into the most dangerous areas without asking too many questions?

"When I started my business, I struggled to keep my shop supplied, as most deliveries were either late or damaged beyond recovery. Things changed when I hired Rory and now I became the most wealthy Lalafell in Ul'dah! And I am saying this not because I was bribed with a crate of alcohol, but because it's true!" - Popoto Hobodingo, some important guy in Ul'dah.

Player Note
I have a very clear distinction when it comes to OOC/IC. They must remain separate at all times if we are to RP together, especially on an extended basis and I reserve the right to end interactions should this be impeded upon. I've been burnt heavily by people mistaking IC care and OOC friendship and attention with romantic regard and honestly I don't wish to go through another such debacle once more. If my character dislikes yours that does not mean I hold the same sentiment. If my character loves yours that does not translate to me feeling the same for you, though I might feel a platonic equivalent. I am not my characters and they are not me. Respect this and we shall get along famously.

Personal RP Limits
I don't have very many hardcore limits honestly as I feel consequences must be adhered to when RPing any character regardless of whom they might be. However there are a few exceptions to this and they are as follows.
■ I will play Almost anything that isn't described below.
■ I won't play Death, Rape, Maiming, ERP only Plots. I don't mind romance but it needs to be earned and respected. Do not try and force your character on to mine. If I feel this is the case I will quickly end the RP and speak with you OOCly to either correct the issue or end the RP connection between the two in a faithful manner both parties can agree upon.

Disclaimer

Little Tidbits.
■ If you're ever uncomfortable, tell me! I don't bite! I can get pretty into RPing out consequences however and while I do my best to make sure permission is had and everyone is comfortable I'm not perfect. If you have a problem speak up.
■ This is a broad statement for all my characters, but I have a hard limit of at least two months before I'll allow my character to enter a relationship. A good friend mentioned their own rule regarding this and I greatly respected the idea of it, so I'll be putting it into practice myself. I've been burned far too many times by hasty RP relationships and want to make it clear from the get go so there is no misunderstanding. If your character is trying to romance my own, be prepared for it to take awhile.

RP RUMORS

Common Rumors

Her? Yeah, I know her. Surprised she's still alive considering how recklessly she is flying her aircraft. Lass used to fly for the Alliance back in the day, where she received the nickname 'Blaze' after shooting down two Garlean airships during her first sortie. No one really knows if she simply quit, or got kicked out. Shame really. She did save many lives, especially during the battle of Cartenau when things got really dicey.

**Ah. Red hairs..? Blue eyes..? Cheeky attitude..? Ya' must be talkin' 'bout Rory. Yeah, we see her around here quite often. She runs a small business in Eorzea, running goods between the free cities and Othard. The last time I've seen her airship it was barely holding together, but even then--she can do bloody magic with it. When she gets drunk, she keeps bragging about how she managed to sneak past the Legion's air blockage in Bozja and deliver weapons to the resistance there. Right, like that would ever happen..

Uncommon Rumors

Miss Windward's vessel is very often carefully inspected on every airship landing in Eorzea. Few times she was caught smuggling illegal imports from Hingashi, for which she was heavily fined. It's still quite impressive she got caught red handed only few times, considering she has been flying for almost one hundred years. If not for her achievements in the war, she would probably got her airship permit revoked long time ago. Not like it would stop her from flying..

It's very rare for folk like her to trade in Hingashi, considering the harsh rules that are strongly enforced there. People talk that she either bribed or seduced someone important there, allowing her vessel to land and dock in Kugane. Many times she was seen escorted by Sekiseigumi guards for questioning, before being released after many suns. Many times looking very beaten up...

Rare Rumors

She never shows it, but she's still in pain after losing the only man she loved in her entire life. They flew together in the war as wingmen. When calamity struck, his airship was hit and crashed somewhere around Mor Dhona. The Viera pilot tried to come back for him, but her ship got hit pretty badly as well, barely gliding back to base. Rory has been looking for his body for many turns, without success.
