about the author.

Hello, if you're here it might be because you're curious about rp. While I am new to it on XIV, I am not new to roleplay itself. I've been actively writing with close friends for years and am someone whose writing style is layered and abundant in detailed descriptions, but I adapt to my roleplay partner's preferences.I gravitate towards dark fantasy storylines/scenarios and I am heavily inspired by Soulsborne games (especially Elden Ring) and medieval horror books. I tend to use concepts that I find interesting and incorporate them to Eldenievel's storyline.

foreword

If my boundaries aren't respected I will not hesistate to block.

— three.

about boundaries

DO NOT: Erotic Roleplay.  I am not interested in my character engaging in erotic roleplay or scenarios.   I don't think there's a lot to say regarding this, it's not something I want to partake in. Please do not expect erotic interactions with my character/approach with said intentions. You'd only be wasting my time, and yours too. I am okay with exploring intimacy through different approaches.

— five.

about power

DO NOT: IC equals OOC, metagaming and Godmode.I am Eldenievel's writer, not her; there are very clear boundaries between IC and OOC. Please do not rely on/cheat through metagaming.If you think your character holding some sort of knowledge on Eldenievel will help enrich the storyline discuss it with me beforehand. Absolutely no godmode.

— seven.

rules

DO NOT: Underage writers/characters. Harassment.I am on my twenties and I wish to write with people my age and older, this applies to Eldenievel's bonds too.I am fine with conflict, violence and dark/mature themes (always with boundaries) not harassment or behaviours/storylines that go against my dni/dfi criteria.

— two.

about romance

I welcome romance as long as both parties agree on the existence of chemistry between characters. This said, it would be rare given Eldenievel's nature and her (currently) lack of desire regarding involvement in romantic relationships, she exclusively perceives these as a mean to fulfill her ulterior motives.

— four.

about connections

I find them to be quite an interesting tool to cultivate/develop forthcoming plots. The only thing I'd ask for would be a discussion between writers so it makes sense lore-wise for our characters and everything is clear.These connections aren't limited to cordial relationships!

— six.

about lore-bending and conflict

I am okay with lore-bending as long as it doesn't break immersion for both parties. I don't faithfully follow canon myself.Fine with violence, always respecting boundaries. Absolutely no permadeath. Please don't injure my character without discussing it with me beforehand.

» NOTE: Please understand availability/lack of.I tend to be rather busy. Some days (and for different reasons) I'll be unable to offer a response and my roleplay partner/partners will be informed of this.We are all familiar with writer's block, please understand me when I am going through it!

  Dislikes     Being touched or watched, incompetence, extremely loquacious individuals, purposely hiding relevant information.

  Our Lady of Grace     With the concluding form of grace reached through the philosopher's stone during the birth, simultaneous climax, of the Rebis Eldenievel waters the grace with the divine element as if it was a sap. Her mother's memories are considered the primeval shape of grace, during this time its sight was exclusively granted to Eldenievel; whispered to her eyes as if it was the most jealous of secrets. Now, and in a conceited display of her own dexterities, Grace is given and seen as a guide by those who ache for its encounter. Grace is a product of faith, a gift filled with presumed clemency.

  Personality     Whilst Eldenievel once was composed, her nature compassive, the most notable personality change can be perceived after the abandonment felt after the Eclipse. Coming to the conclusion that every kind of love she yearns for is born rotted or dead, Eldenievel first rejects and abandons it fraternally during her exile, feeding it the fruit of resentment. The most afflicted bond is the one shared Hraesvelgr’s, which culminates in the transgression of Ratatoskr’s Nest and the climax of the Rebis; whilst Hraesvelgr can differentiate glimpses of the woman Eldenievel used to be, these have already been buried under the weight and dirtiness of a fully grown hatred.From Dawntrail on Eldenievel gravitates towards a more manipulative approach of life and bonds, yet palpitations of camaraderie can still be felt through her; a sign that evidences her longing to return to the woman she once was. With her demeanor still inciting her to adapt to solitude, her pastimes often include activities relished by one's own company; this approach still helps her to pass unnoticed when desired.The spite born from Hraesvelgr's actions and House Victlenhric's memory compels and feeds a previously neglected abrasive appetite for power.

The Eclipse Of Rot. Momentous event in the course of her life. The Eclipse of Rot triggers the blossoming of Scarlet Aeonia and Scarlet Rot, as well as completing another stage of the Rebis and being canonized in The Dreaming by the Oneirocelestials.Opus Magnum Alchemical procedure that involves the culmination of both Rebis and the Philosopher's Stone, also regarded as "Pure Gold". This gold emerges from the Rebis and trascends economic value, instead acts as a guidance and the final remedy for Scarlet Rot. The presence of its grace leads those afflicted to Eldenievel.Oneiric Sanctity The canonization of St. Caeliasenza occurs after the survival of the Eclipse of Rot and before her exile to a long abandoned Dravanian Island. During this period Eldenievel would abandon her flesh and fragments of her inner self at the Forelands sights her mother projected her memories on, she'd too abandon Caeliasenza; the triggering of this schism is what makes Caeliasenza become her own individual.

beginnings

I (Pre-Rebis) Word has spread of the lady who brought the blooming Eclipse making the roots of her own rotted tree her resting place in the most circumspect of islands. Exiled and forged in the white heat of her of abandonment agonies she patiently awaits for the bells to announce her returnal.
II (Post Rebis) A furtive figure has witnessed a transgression. Multiple statues of Churches of The Bud have been dilapidated, and their candles extinguished. Who is the one who acts in the shadow of their own rancour?
III (Post Abandonment of Self) Dreams whisper that a Saint as emerged, name and nest unknown. Fervent is the desire of some for relics, leading them to unfamiliar paths; to a desolated island that claims their names in equivocal whispers.
IV (Post-Rebis) She's been found in the spots kissed by heretical melancholy; following the pilgrimage of the now gone Ysayle Dangoulain. Her rot is as hungry as her. The astringent realisation of psithurism no longer whispering her beloved's name.

“Each prayer is a thread. Each prayer is a chance to weave. I do not want to return home without that which I came for.”

No crying befell her birth, solely incertitude.Beilevryen, enduring severe bleeding after childbirth (and refusing to experience her late husband's fate in the hands of the Holy See) demanded Hraesvelgr to put an end to her suffering by extinguishing her flame with his ice and holy light. A grieving and shattered Hraesvelgr would oblige and, as a final goodbye, Beilevryen threaded and whispered a song in Dragonspeak; a poem written by her in which he stood at the northern edge of the Heavens creating benevolent winds with his feathered wings.Mourning her passing, Hraesvelgr would build a crypt for Beilevryen in The Dravanian Forelands; with its entrance framed by alluring reddish-brown and lilac trees in full bloom. He'd carve a continuation to the poem on stone too, visually representing Dragonspeak for the first time. More than twenty years later Nidhogg would try to reduce Beilevryen's resting place to dust moments before the events of The Final Steps of Faith, it remained safe thanks to the will and strength of Hraesvelgr and Ysayle; Elden had already fallen into a deep slumber after protecting and saving Ysayle's life, yet the guilt of not having protected Beilevryen's memory during this time torments her to this day.While Eldenievel didn't cry when she was born, she did in the moment of her mother's passing; startled by the sensory complexity of the situation, including Hraesvelgr's roar. After a fleeting stay whilst making preparations at Ratatoskr's nest (in which Eldenievel absorbed the light's golden hue), he left with the intention to find a fitting and loving home for the newborn.

Relying on the stone scale shedded by the Dreaming Dragon (Yggdrasil) that granted him a temporary simulacrum, the wyrm arrived in The Skatay Range; a place far away from the Dragonsong conflict. For days he spoke to Eldenievel in the Tongue of Dragons; surprisingly twenty-five years later, when she ventured to Coerthas to learn the way of the Dark Knight, she still remembered some of it.Seeking the Heretics with the purpose of learning more about her biological mother, infiltrating the Holy See Archives later on; it was Hraesvelgr who held all the answers, trusting him after refusing to do so during their first encounter. Not only did he grant the answers she desperately was looking for, he too gifted Elden what remained of her mother's belongings. Later on he'd grant Eldenievel House Victlenhric's old garments.Needing months to get her fortitude back after her intervention in the Dragonsong War, Eldenievel would focus on Celestial Botany (a discipline that would later on, after her assimilation of The Dreaming Realm, evolve into "Oneirocelestial Botany") whilst resuming her quest for knowledge and remembrance.

After the events of Heavensward and haven fallen into dormancy in The Iron Feast, by the time Eldenievel awakens the main story finds itself immersed in the events of Shadowbringers. This period of supposed inactivy is attributed to the   assimilation of the Oneiric Realm,   thus the weakened condition she wakes up to. With the purpose of recovering her strength back, Eldenievel devotes her time to activities that do not require one's exertion such as the study and development of Oneirocelestial Botany, a discipline with the purpose of mending the oneiric fabric favored by the existence of star rot.Her profuse endeavors grant her a beneficial reputation in Coerthas, with its word naturally reaching Ishgard; still Eldenievel receives these with a rather neglectful composure and refuses foreign appeals to join the filed of study in order to maintain House Victlenhric's orthodoxy. Oneirocelestial Botany remains an undisclosed practice and Ishgard is never graced with her presence again. The development of this subject is often balanced with alchemical research and the acclimatization to and study of Oneirolyricism (or Lullaby) the very language of dreams. Oneirolyricism would reach its culmination by the time the arrival of the Tower of Oneirolyricism, in Sohr Khai, is announced.The acquired knowledge regarding House Victlenhric chronologicallty aligns with Eldenievel finding her mother's memories projected across The Dravanian Forelands in the shape of titillating remnants of gold, with its touch revealing dissimilar geoglyphs.

"It's called the soul's scar tissue, the distance from the dead."

Perhaps the next most relevant episode occurs by the time Eldenievel perceives the, later on, assimilated rot bud, weaved within her, gently flowering almost in a somnolent behaviour. Resisting its bloom, she finds herself capable of subdue it for a while yet various circumstances (such as butterflies treasuring her rotten tears as their personal libation) raise suspicions.Had she been free to reject the various dissimilarities of the Dream Realm, there'd have been a possibility of the Eclipse of Rot not betiding. The Eclipse is known as the translation of a dreamlike element (the bud of rot weaved within herself, unknowingly fermented), leading to a disturbance in the fabric of the waking world; her existence in the Waking World (specifically in The Dravanian Forelands) is ultimately the reason behind the Eclipse's translation.Unquestionably the event not only halts but also alters the development of Oneirocelestial Botany; all the sites dedicated to its progress subdue to the many fatalities of putrefaction and although the history of its progress is not entirely lost it only survives in meager writings. With Scarlet Rot flaunting its predominance over Star Rot, fundamental matter in the mending of Oneiric Fabric, it manages to devastate inventories.Calcination. Dissolution. Separation. Conjunction. Fermentation. Distillation. Coagulation. The alchemical process for the achievement of Rebis is approaching and almost grasping its pinnacle.

"𝐹𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓, 𝑎 𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑡𝑙𝑦 𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑖𝑒 𝑢𝑝𝑜𝑛..."The Eclipse of Rot is a major event in Eldenievel's storyline unfolding during the events of Dawntrail, particularly observed in The Dravanian Forelands and Subterranean/Eternal Cities located under The Dreaming Dragon landmark, Coerthas Western Highlands. The Eclipse (of Rot) is described as the manifestation of the consequences of a disruption and commotion (of nightmare nature) of the Oneiric Fabric in the Waking World, emphasized and distinguished by the blossoming of Scarlet Rot, heretofore sealed within Eldenievel. A miscellanea of casualties were born from this catastrophe, such as putrid vegetation, decaying inhabitants (including draconic) afflicted by the plague and nearly permanently corrupted crimson skies.Bidding farewell to the remnants of its architectural grandeur, the little that's left in the Forelands appears to be slowly eaten away by fungal wastes. The arrival of a herculean Scarlet Rot tree, sitting at The Iron Feast, is considered the pinnacle of the calamity along with Eldenievel's transitory passing, the reconstruction of self and her returnal by the intervention of the Scarlet Bloom (against her will), assimilated by Eldenievel when it possessed the shape of a mere bud. Even though Eldenievel's body was restored, the course of time wouldn't have to edict the returnal of rot, as she was reborn from it; causing her to nurture a tree of her own with her own rotted blood, whilst nestled in its roots.With the calamity stripping her from eyesight, Eldenievel would only be capable of discerning oneiric halos (oneiric remnants and counterparts of the Waking World elements and entities) translated into the Waking World thanks to her attunement/acclimatization to the Oneiric sphere. The devastation left behind served as a reason for her partial exile to a Dravanian Island, located more than two thousand miles away from the landmass.The Eclipse of Rot lends itself as the scintilla that elicits the birth of her own rune, along with the emerging of her Aeonian Blossom and birth of the Oneiroi of Rot

through self-pollination, the manifestation of the First Oneiric Dragons (evidencing her Dravanian blood).All these elements would later on, and during her exile, serve as a justification for the emergence of Eldenievel as Rebis in the Waking World after the abandonment of self and flesh, and canonization of St. Caeliasenza in the Oneiric Realm by the Oneirocelestials before their passing.Eldenievel, ignorant of it given her exile after the aforementioned Eclipse, is regarded as "The Saint of the Bud" by those who believed it a divine element and after her multiple approaches forestalling the its scourge. With the eclipse having passed and in a nefarious state, Eldenievel would then neglect her flesh, self and rune at the multiple sites her mother projected her memories on. Sanguinectar burgeons untouched by rot, blooming from this abandonment can be found at these locations; manifesting and supurated by the Oneiric Landscape gentle and soothing hues of lilac, pale cerulean and marmoreal.Having prolifered through all the stages of alchemical union (Putrefaction and Purification) and their respective expansions, an oneiric canonization along with the sundering of the Oneiric Realm's landscape (formed by her ancient's corpse), the abandonment of self (Albedo) in the Forelands and the corroboration her draconic ancestry (Mercurial dragon, the ultimate converger of matter) would consolidate her ascension as Rebis. Eldenievel would rise in The Tower of Oneirolyricism. This ascension as Rebis would be circumlocutorily announced in The Dravanian Forelands by its inherent tree trunks entwinining in a helix and the appearance and emanation of grace at the locations where her flesh was abandoned at, a guide bathed in gold for those afflicted in pursuit of sanctuary; grace is, in brief, a product of the Rebis' philosopher's stone; gold (and silver) derived from the stone are everlasting. This stone propels the perfection of the silver needle needed to redess the torment brought by scarlet rot.  Eldenievel then becomes the reconciliation of matter and spirit and a Trinity, too.  

"What streams of light might escape me and reveal about the things I collect and hide, and is there a difference between aperture and wound."

— st. caeliasenza

third of the trinity

A third of the trinity, independent. Born, rooted and hidden in the depths of Dravania. St. Caeliasenza is the product of Eldenievel's abandonment of self or Ego Death once Rebis ascends, thus causing a schism. It is when Caeliasenza, in an act to save what remains of Eldenievel, finds its own identity; shaped, of course, by the Oneiric Realm.St. Caeliasenza is the reason why Eldenievel is able to ingest sanguinectar, the ambrosia supurated by the Oneiric Realm present in the landmarks in which she abandoned herself after the Eclipse of Rot. In the Trinity Caeliasenza is the representation of the Oneiric Sphere and, simultaneously, the Rebis stabilizer.
