PROTECTOR;
you say you're not afraid to die; but when you take off the armor around your chest, what's left inside?( do you really bleed if it washes away ? ).

godmodding. don't godmod. this goes without saying. i won't try to control your character; don't try to control mine.metagaming. please do not make your character know everything about mine. don't get me wrong--- i love a good pre-established relationship, but the fun part of rping is having our muses learn more about each other as time goes on. if your character happens to figure out everything about mine without any effort or development, i'll likely lose interest in our interaction and cut it off before it goes further.proper writing. try to sound coherent. this is an iffy one considering that english isn't everybody's first language. but with that being said, please try to use proper punctuation / spelling when writing with me. i don't like to roleplay with people who use asterisks to describe their actions, or people who don't use proper grammar, punctuation, or capitalization. it's just a major peeve of mine.
shipping. don't interact with me purely with the intent to ship. none of my oc's should ever be viewed as shipping fodder. if you want a relationship with saeran, you will need to invest time, and commitment in doing so.nsfw. while saeran is m/erp friendly, there will be absolutely no f+ or 'futa', and absolutely no lalafell. to be quite honest it's big 2025, we don't need to have the discussion on why writing nsfw lalafell is a weird fucking thing to do, or why f+/futa is harmful to the trans community. be for real.extremes. don't throw extremes at me without consent. if you're looking for a more violent interaction, i'm open to it, however i would like to discuss it first-- at least briefly. additionally, anything crazy or extreme requires some plotting from both ends. i'd rather avoid it for interactions with folks i don't know too well.

discord. do not ask me for my discord without prior discussion. while i truly understand the convenience of chatting over discord as opposed to in game, i do need you to understand that i'm very shy, and i don't feel comfortable adding people without a decent amount of prior conversation. gotta assess the vibes first!bigotry. bigotry is not tolerated in any capacity. all people are beautiful, and i will not tolerate any form of racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. i don't even like rping with characters who exhibit this behaviour in character and will do my best to avoid them. if i find that you, or your character match any of the criteria listed above, i reserve the right to cut all communication without offering any form of an explanation. this is not negotiable.
mare / mods. don't ask for my mare right away. to me, mare is not a prerequisite for rp, and if that is an issue for you, we're likely not a very good match interaction-wise. i do have it, but i'm not comfortable with immediately sharing it with people i don't know very well. if the vibes are good, we can exchange codes! but not immediately.ulterior motives. this is a bit of an odd one to mention, but don't get all buddy-buddy with me to get something out of me, like art or flirting. i shouldn't even need to really say this but it's happened enough times to the point where i actually need to which is insane. i'm not a free art dispenser, and i'm in a committed relationship. do not take saeran flirting with you as an indicator that me as a person am going to want to do the same thing.

call me friend, but keep me closer.
saeran is, at his core, an aqcuired taste. he can be most easily described as a charismatic yapper, with an ego that weighs more than his sword and a passion for prioritizing his own ambitions before anybody else's. once he had left the azim steppe to follow after and look out for his sister, saeran malaguld had spread his wings, and found his voice.he has developed a good sense of priority for his own ambitions and goals, second only to his sister's. he's blunt, yet still filled to the brim with enough charm to win over the most stone-hearted soldiers in a few sentences or less. he's charitable, but only when he wants to be. he refuses to accept requests from anybody, and works only on the request of his sister umiko who tells him where to go, or if he sees a special case of someone in need of help who can't help themselves--- to which he will always work for free, and refuses to accept payment.he's extremely aware of his physical prowess when it comes to combat, and is also aware of his physical charm and silver tongue ... and has developed a bit of an ego for it all. nothing too obnoxious of course, but sometimes, this ego of his ends up getting him in trouble.

summary.*
i'm a short lived joke; as soulless as i seem.
the treasured warrior of the malaguld tribe. saeran malaguld. one of two mixed offspring of a xaela father, and a raen mother, bearing the striking yet rare black & white scales. his birth was one to celebrate, the malaguld tribe's first son birthed in several years, one that posessed the physical strength of the xaela, and the magical affinity of the raen. his father knew that he was destined to be a warrior-- and for this, trained him as often as possible from the day he could hole a weapon. saeran had always been the talkative sort--- winning over the hearts of the rest of his tribes, and even a few others at reunion. he had shown such promise for the tribe--- and once he had finally completed bardam's mettle at the age of 18, he had fought tooth and nail to bring honor and victory to his tribe.while growing up, it was no secret that saeran was very much favoured in place of his peers. for this, he had developed an ego--- his achilles' heel. one shortcoming that cost him everything was how he had underestimated his final opponents during the naadam. he had thought less of their strength and wits, thinking that surely they couldn't amount to what he had been told he had throughout his entire life up until that point.his confusion as he laid there on the ground, beaten and wounded, had him staring at the sky in defeat, and utter confusion--- what was he feeling? the unwelcome tinges of failure? denial? outrage? he wasn't able to wrap his head around it, even after his father helped carry him home. ' you fought well, ' he would insist, though with an underlying tone of disappointment in his voice, as saeran's mother treated his wounds, nodding along in agreement as her heart broke over her son's state. saeran couldn't bring himself to answer, or even look his father in the eye. how could he? after everything they did to raise him to be the warrior he was, the training, the dedication. all for nothing...?following the naadam, saeran had fallen into a depression--- something where he struggled with his identity, and the weight of knowing he had let down his mother and father after everything they gave to invest in his future. it was a full two years of learning humility, and shame--- a hard lesson to learn, but one he needed to nonetheless. through the entire duration, his sister had been his anchor--- his main line of support. between pep talks, private conversations, and assurances that he was more than what he was afraid of becoming, saeran had begun to endeavor to improve, body and mind, to become better than who he was before.his sister, umiko, had turned 18 two years after that naadam. she was never a true fighter--- rather, she was a master of crafts. a gifted weaver, leatherworker, and tailor all around. she was known well around reunion, though her talents far succeeded what opportunities the steppe could offer her. after some delibration, her and saeran's parents had told umiko to leave the steppe to pursue her passion, as her talent would have gone to waste there at home. she departed for eorzea, known for it's limitless opportunities. though with her departure, saeran had come to the realization that without her, he would have lost his best friend. without more than a day's worth of consideration, saeran followed after umiko, departing to the west by her side, protecting her along the way.umiko hummed, idly fixing some disheveled bits and bobs on her cart while observing the state of the now battered and unconscious bandit, then looked to saeran, looking all too content with another job well done. ' you know, brother, you would make an excellent bodyguard. 'he grinned back at her, promptly returning to her side to pull the cart back into place, reattaching it to his yol's harness before they departed once again. ' only at your request, sister. '

PHYSICAL PROWESS. a trait of the warriors of the azim steppe, a gift inherited from his father. saeran's stamina, agility, and strength far exceeded his peers back home. years of training, practice, and honing his skills had ultimately led to one very skilled fighter, adept with a sword if not unarmed.arcane affinity. a trait of the priests & wisemen of sui-no-sato, a gift inherited from his mother. saeran is able to conjure water & wind, easily using it as a means of earning advantage in combat, or imbuing his weapon with either element to produce arcane effects in physical combat. and while limited, he can also use these talents to manipulate small areas around him containing these elements.
quick witted. a trait of his sister, taught by her during his recovery. saeran, while recovering from his humilation of being the reason his tribe lost the naadam, had spent time honing his wits. umiko had aided him throughout this process, teaching him just how important it is to be a few steps ahead of his opponents, before being able to overwhelm them with strength alone. saeran is able to use his wits to take down many different opponents, seeking out weak spots, openings, and vulnerabilities within seconds.fortitude. saeran is a well built fighter, and one of the most crucial parts of being a warrior is being able to take more than one hit without falling. saeran's fortitude has rendered him capable of taking many, many hits and wounds before relenting. this strength is reinforced when he knows he has something to protect.

main verse: private bodyguard & protector
*
saeran and umiko have settled in ishgard. while umiko is a tailor for house fortemps, saeran lives in his own apartment, nestled comfortably within the empyreum. umiko makes more than enough money to be able to support herself and saeran, and thus pays his rent, along with tailoring his clothes for no additional cost.however, this is not without stipulations.in exchange for umiko's generosity, saeran has agreed to work whenever umiko tells him to. saeran is a bodyguard, though not for hire by anybody who is not umiko, regardless of the circumstances- he had a certain level of apathy when it comes to working for anybody who he doesn't know personally. thus, umiko will find work for saeran and inform him of when he needs to do it, and for who.
charity work.
hook: charitable / free work for those in need.
*
while saeran refuses to accept work from anybody who requests it, this isn't to say he's opposed to providing aid to anybody who he believes may need it. saeran can be commonly found offering aid to low income families, or lowborns, or any individual who may not have the financial means to hire someone to work for them. he accepts no payment; this would then consider his gesture of good will to be a paid job, which he has no interest in doing for anybody who isn't his sister.perhaps you've met someone who's been aided by saeran, if you haven't been aided by him yourself. perhaps you'd like to say thank you, or even offer to pay him for his services. while he will refuse, he may be willing to strike up a conversation with you in place of a payment, if you're truly insistent on it.
well traveled.
hook: traveling bodyguard / escort jobs.
*
umiko's requests for saeran to work do not often remain exclusively in ishgard; there are often times where her requests require for saeran to travel across eorzea, and occasionally overseas to thavnair, or even tural. for this, saeran has made many connections all over etheirys, and there's a very good chance you may have seen him in passing. whether or not you remember is another story.note, if you have a specific idea for how your character would want to recall saeran, shoot me a message! i'd love to talk something out. i'm also open to whipping something up on the go in a public rp setting--- this hook is a great way to have our characters talk to each other for the first time!
