Red is a large midlander with roots in the lands of Doma and Kugane. After escape from Imperial rule during The Garlean Occupation of Othard, he spent a majority of his life behind the safe crimson walls of Hingashi's port city. Red boasts many years of training and warfare under his belt, particularly in eastern swordsmanship. These days, he harnesses the power of geomancy.

❂

His core swirls with aether, and because of this, he is capable of "bending" aether; aetherbending, as he describes it. A special form of geomancy, Red can warp and morph aether of different variants with just his palms and ocassionally other parts of his body. His primary weapon of choice are Byakko's Fists, but may sometimes wield Seiryu's Ephemeris. The power Red wields is capable of parting seas and destroying mountains, but with great discipline he can maintain balance, and thus, maintain The Way.

HOOK 1 - Red is the caretaker of Reisen Temple; he is also the descendant of Tenzen, inheriting knowledge from both him and those before him. Red has a close relationship with the Four Lords, and is capable of speaking with other beings like them.

HOOK 2 - The Confederates speak often the myth of the Man on Hells' Lid. They are never quite capable of getting a close look at him, and as soon as an individual believes they have seen him, he vanishes. This is speculated to be folklore, but that hasn't stopped fascinated boaters and adventurers from seeing if they can get a closer look.

HOOK 3 - Red is incredibly dense with aether. This may make him appetizing to a voidsent, the scent of him too hard for even the toughest of void to ignore. Any voidsent are welcome to try their luck at sapping his energy--just be wary of his strength.
Perhaps, all he requires is a good convincing.

HOOK 4 - Due to his nature, Red has little tolerance for criminal activity from secret and public organizations alike--his previous work boasts years of vigilantism, frequently challenging authority and wrongdoers. Though he no longer partakes in this life, leaving such to the youth of Kugane, his experiences changed feelings very little.

Red has olive skin and smoky brown hair. He boasts a height of six fulms and four ilms with a strong, heroic musculature with hair all across his body. He is most identified by an unfinished tattoo sleeve, thick clouds and a falcon inked into his flesh. Notable facial features are thick eyebrows and his gentle mahogany gaze, the man gifted sharp cheekbones and a broad nose.

The monk prefers to wear white, red and black hues, rarely ever seen without some form of headgear except during formal occasions. He may show skin, but he is mostly modest. Red is never seen wearing jewelry and has a comfortable wardrobe.

OOC - Hi I'm Kyle (he/him), white and queer. 21+. EST.
I've been playing XIV for years, and I have a little under a decade of experience doing roleplay. I work part-time and am a full-time student so you can imagine my schedule is stressful. Apologies in advance if you end up talking to me, I take a long time to reply to people and my activity changes really often.

Please do not interact with me if you use phrases to describe people that the trans community does not like "futa","cuntboy",etc. The typical DNI criteria also applies. I don't really care about lala NSFW but for the comfort of my peers please watch from a distance.
