Black Rose. A deadly magical plague crafted by the Garleans to use against their foes. The Ascians had hoped it would usher in the 8th Umbral Calamity—and they were right. However, the plague was not without its flaws. Its aim to stem the flow of aether was far too effective—going so far as to tilt one’s very soul to stasis. Each individual affected was not only destroyed. They were destroyed forever.
Emet-Selch watched in horror as his beloved succumbed to the plague. Unable to help, unable to change their fate. The Warrior of Light was finally undone...
The Architect felt no joy in this. They had won, sure, but at what cost? Souls were not merely something that could be easily replaced. Especially not theirs...
Fortunately, the Paragon was not the only one who felt so strongly for the Champion of the Source. Over the course of their life they touched many lives, changing them for the better. It was within these souls that Emet-Selch had to put his faith...
And so, he watched.
Much to his surprise, those who would place their faith in the Warrior if Light succeeded, transporting Archon G’raha Tia back in time, to a world not his own.
Though the Architect knew his naive self would not suffer interference. Nor would the Emissary. And so, he would watch...
The time would come for him to die. Emet-Selch watched from the Underworld as his other self perished, ready and willing to accept his aether, his memories into his own...
And thus, they were one. Of one soul, one mind. With his faith in the Warrior of Light, once more, he would watch. Wait. Though he longed for his beloved. Perhaps now was the time for action...
As I’ve stated in my ad here, I’m looking to play a very specific character; Emet-Selch from Final Fantasy XIV. This can either be a 1x1 or a group setting.
I know most who RP 1x1s are looking for romance or smut, or looking for a partner of a specific gender. I am not, however I'm open to romantic themes if it makes sense, only delving further—also if it makes sense. I’m happy to ship with the WoL or any character. I am 30 IRL, and happily married. Anything that happens IC, is IC only. I'm not looking to pick up dates, I just want to play pretend as a smarmy grandpa. I've had some interesting past experiences, which is the only reason I'm clarifying. Thankfully everyone I’ve met so far using this character has been a peach! Love you guys! ♥️
That said I’m pretty relaxed on who I RP with, but do your best with grammar, and write as coherently as possible. If I can’t read your post, my response isn’t going to be great! Post length doesn’t matter as long as I have enough to respond to. I’ll generally post around two paragraphs, though it may be more or less depending on the situation!
Anyway, I'm not very picky on settings, or characters I'm matched against. Can be male, female, non-binary, trans, whatever. Sometimes the strangest matchups can yield hilarious and fun results! I’m all about character interactions. I can’t get enough!
Any romance plot must involve characters 18+, with players being the same. If the plot isn’t romance, I don’t care, at all. Also since Emet-Selch seems to be PC-sexual, that is how he shall be played. I don’t care what gender your character is, and nor does Emet. Assuming he finds your character attractive! (Spoilers, he probably will, especially if your character is the Warrior of Light.)
I already have a few good threads with this character, just looking to add some more to the list!
Also don’t be afraid to ask to change the RP or start a new one. A lot of times in RP a scene will give me an idea I feel is stronger or better than a current idea. I’m always down to try out new things, don’t feel like you’re locked into our first RP!
FFXIV Ideas:
Your character does not have to be the WoL.
Headcanons:
Specifics can be negotiated especially in areas where the WoL is concerned.
I'd like to play Emet-Selch from FFXIV, and I really don't care who what when where or why. You can reach me on Discord Ninian#3747 if you have questions. I am nowadays very rarely on RPG, but I will check back occasionally. I'm always looking for RP. More information about me can be found on my profile!

Plots & Setting:
FFXIV Ideas:
Your character does not have to be the WoL.
- Amaurot Pre-sundering
- Ancient Allag
- Fan-made Empire/Kingdom/City on any Shard
- A shard with not enough aether for residents to use magic
- Garlemald pre-Empire or post-Empire
- During ShB MSQ [Timeskips between Scenes]
- Post-Death with a Revival/Reconstitution of his Soul
- Post-Death with Emet-Selch from the Exarch's timeline...
- Previous life for the WoL, canon or OC
Headcanons:
Specifics can be negotiated especially in areas where the WoL is concerned.
- Hades has always held a strong attraction to the WoL since Amaurot
- Potential past romantic relationship with WoL
- Obsessive and Jealous
- Switch with Dominant Leanings
- Tsundere/Yandere Leanings
- Emotional Dumpsterfire
- Is definitely a lonely Shoebill (Possibly from a different timeline....)
