Is Redemption possible?

Cazu Kubaya

An outsider wherever she goes.
Haunted by her past. Trying to create a future.
What is it that leads her? What is it that you seek from her?

Story

Temptations lead to greed. Greed leads to jealousy. Jealousy leads to anger. Anger leads to violence. This is the life that Cazu has known since birth.Trust is a rarity, friendship is a luxury. A cold and impassive exterior serves as a guard for what lies within, and a wariness sharpened over years has kept her at arm's length from others.Again and again, she was on the wrong side of the law. Always the sort to get into trouble and in fights. Those that have met this side of Cazu recognize her as someone brash, shameless, unapologetic, and aggressive. Greed and anger have been her driving motivators, taking her further and further down a road that threatens to consume her.Where will this path of crime, violence, and revenge lead her? Will it lead her to fame and fortune unimaginable, or will it be the final nail in her coffin?

Hooks

  • "You hirin'?" - Cazu's always looking to work and make some gil, regardless of if it's a long term arrangement or a one-time thing. Whether it's mercenary work or engineering-based, she's always happy to make some more money.

  • From the Far East? - Kugane is her home, whether she likes it or not, and she's spent extensive time in Doma as well. If your character is from the region, they may have seen her years ago with the groups she used to work with or recently on ventures of her own.

  • Criminal background? - Cazu's familiarized herself with the underworlds of several cities by now. Perhaps you've seen her at some specific venues, or dealing with certain people that most would rather avoid.

Story

What is weakness? Is it a flaw in a person, representing a means to control them? Or is it a vulnerability, a sign of growth that ties to one's emotions?An engineer with a love for travel, Cazu often moves from place to place as she tries to create a new life for herself and live it to the fullest. Though she's far from the most social of people, she knows that she's made progress and has broken away parts of the shell that kept her to herself.Always one to speak her mind, Cazu has shown herself to be loyal yet laid back, with a tendency to tease her friends from time to time. She strives to enjoy the opportunities presented to her, and to simply live each day like it's her last and make the most out of everything.In the end, she hopes that this new life lasts and is one that she can be proud of. Will this last, or will it soon be another distant memory?

Hooks

  • "Need somethin' built?" - Always happy to take on a job for someone, Cazu makes herself available for engineering jobs quite often. Whether it's creating repairing damaged gear, augmenting technology, or making something new altogether, she'll happily take on any challenge.

  • Into Magitek? - Similarly, Cazu's eye is easily caught by technology of any form. She's always interested in what something does, where it originated from, and how it works. Whether it's from the Ironworks, Garlean make, or something else entirely, she'll be curious enough to ask a few questions at the least.

  • Like bars and clubs? - Recently, Cazu's been mustering the confidence to go out frequently and live some more. If your character has been to any sort of social venue recently, she may be there trying to get a drink or conversate with a person or two. Maybe a bit of friendly conversation is possible?

OOC

Hi! Thank you for checking out my carrd!

Hello! My name's StarryEyed and I play Cazu! I'm in my early 20s and in the CST timezone. I've got a couple years' worth of RP experience from DnD as well as some other MMOs I used to play.
I'm okay with rping in-game and on Discord, either works for me! However, responses may be slower on Discord.
In-Game RP Tag = In Character. Feel free to walk up and say hi, or send me a tell!
I love all sorts of rp! Whether it's longer stories or short and sweet casual sessions, I'm more than happy to write with you and your character! Whether it's a story that's light-hearted and upbeat in tone, or one that's darker and grittier, I'm open to just about anything!
OOC Communication is extremely vital. This is something that always takes priority to me, and something that I think can't be expressed enough. If you're not feeling comfortable with something, or want to make changes, let me know! And if I don't feel comfortable with something, or want to make changes of my own, I'll let you know! It goes both ways, and what matters most in the end is that everyone is enjoying themselves and having fun.
IC is not the same as OOC. To touch on the same topic, I am not Cazu, and you are not the character you play either. I understand that situations done in RP can bleed into the OOC level of things, and if it does happen then I'd like for us to either pause the scene and find a solution or talk about it afterwards and find a way forward that works for everyone. Regardless, I prefer to find methods and solutions that everybody involved is okay with.
If you want to RP the following, please tell me ahead of time so we can talk about it first: Attempted or Actual Suicide, Anything Related to Sexual Assault, Maiming/Killing/Crippling my character.
Any questions? Feel free to ask! If there's anything here that isn't covered, I'd be more than happy to talk and figure something out!
