Fairlight's Meta RP Information

RP PREFERENCES

  • I enjoy long-term stories that unfold slowly and organically. Letting characters grow and connections deepen over time means the big moments feel earned, not rushed or forced.

  • I enjoy adventuring together in all its forms - whether saving the world (again) or fishing all day. This is a roleplaying game, after all, and I love the “game” part just as much as the “roleplaying.”

  • My RP style is mood-dependent and mirror-ish. I’ll match your pace and tone - whether quiet or lively, descriptive or straightforward. On my own, I tend to speak like I’m really there: thoughts flowing naturally, like a conversation over drinks.

  • Fighting and sparring are allowed with consent on most characters. I prefer using this friendly spar ruleset if mechanics are desired, but I’m happy to use another or roleplay it out.

GENERAL BOUNDARIES

  • 18+ partners only, 25+ preferred.

  • I’m here to make new friends and craft stories together.

  • Walk-ups and tells (wu/ts) are always welcome, with the caveat that my side characters are effectively props for my mains and will not be involved in anything long-term. I stay in character unless in grouped content, but my RP tag activates only with my RP HUD. For longer or ongoing interactions, we can move to Discord as needed.

  • Romance and relationships may develop naturally if the characters click, but they’re not my main focus. I won’t force them for the sake of drama or setpieces.

  • IC ≠ OOC. My characters are not me - their views, feelings, and experiences belong to them alone.

  • Character bleed is part of this hobby - it’s normal and understandable to get invested. But I am not my characters. If bleed begins to impact how you treat me or others, or if IC dynamics are applied OOC without clear communication, that’s a problem.

RATING

  • Swearing and mature language is permitted and used

  • Mild sexual innuendo and references permitted and used

  • Mild violence is permitted

My rating is a starting point for new RP partners and may evolve as our story and interactions grow. If you’re ever unsure, just ask - and remember, “No” is a complete sentence. Consent is always respected and can be withdrawn at any time.

DEALBREAKERS (AKA: THE DNI LIST)

  • I have zero tolerance for bigotry OOC. Any homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, or discrimination against people for things they cannot change will end interaction. IC, my characters only engage bigoted characters with a very good reason — they don’t fret over how people exist and won’t entertain that discussion.

  • Romance and ERP aren’t my focus. If that’s your primary goal, we probably won’t be a good match. If your character is genuinely interested in pursuing one of mine, make the time to get to know them, as I do for others. Relationships grow organically over time, not through instant gratification or quick walk-ups.

  • If you or your character are under 18, I will end contact immediately. I do not engage with minors online, period. Relevant tweet.

About Fairlight

  • I’m located in the US Eastern Time Zone. I work a service industry job with long hours, which means my schedule can be a little hard to work with on the weekends. That said, I usually get a three-day weekend somewhere in the middle of the week.

  • I’ve been RPing since the Gaia Online days. Like many, I started young — middle school, to be exact — and haven’t really stopped since. I’ve been actively RPing in FFXIV since shortly after Dawntrail’s release.

  • "Mina" has existed in one form or another for a long time. The earliest version dates back to the opening of the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj in vanilla World of Warcraft — originally a Human Priest named Leni, who was more or less an idealized version of myself. That version of her lives on in FFXIV as Elara Fairlight.

  • The first "Mina" by name was a Human Mesmer in Guild Wars 2. She doesn’t exist anymore — deleted for the character slot — but that’s where the name started to stick.

  • I’m a huge Megami Tensei fan, and that includes Persona and Metaphor. The aesthetic, themes, and battle systems all resonate with me.

  • Outside of RP, I’m well known in the speedrunning and rhythm game scenes, serving as an ambassador for rhythm games in speedrunning marathons for a long time. Mainly I'm known for frequently showcasing Konami’s long-running beatmania IIDX and Gitadora franchises. Currently, I wear a lot of hats on the Power Up With Pride team, and occasionally contribute to the Tachi rhythm game score tracker project.
