in the blood

Fates
Weave their threads
Our lives are sewn
Born
To a life
All but our own
We feel it inside
Our bones

About

name: lord cyrano panthalassa
alias: raja
age: 30
nationality: dalmascan
alignment: true neutral

Lord Panthalassa had been the last one standing.The sunkissed rogue had been born into conflict and war, his childhood the often repeated song of Garlean blasts and fallen walls. He had, at least, some comfort of his birth, being a son of the powerful Panthalassa family, distant cousins to the ruling B'nargins, and owners of many lands and industries. The young Cyrano had been the youngest son, who, despite the conflict, studied rigorously his numbers and histories, in hopes fortunes might change.Alas, no noble birth could hide someone from death. His father was assassinated when he was a teenager, and his older brothers were slain by attacks. He was quickly raised as the new Lord Panthalassa, inheriting more than he ever thought he would possess. The star is inherited by survivors, he'd thought to himself, and he would not lose.Lord Panthalassa took to the shadows. His reach came amidst rumors and intrigue, and his identity and actions fell into hearsay. Some was certain; he'd gone reclusive, amassed large fortunes, and did not be conservative about who he gave loans to, and which industries he invested in. For him to live and for Dalmasca to prosper, he took this neutral stance, and allowed himself to use, and be used. Funds were secretly brought forth to the Resistance. By the time the war had ended and started its rebirth, he was a man, and one of great means. Properties, gil, power, whispers, not only in his own country, but having expanded beyond. He could also be more open about his fundraising of reconstruction efforts.Atop his gilded throne he sat, alone.

Hello, hello! Thanks for reading through my carrd for this fella. IC =/= OOC. I am open to dark/most forms of RP, but please communicate and ask first before anything out of left field!
All forms of RP are okay with me as well, and I have no specific triggers except for, well, possums. Humbly begging for no possums. I know, I know.
I enjoy discord RP as well as in game RP. I generally am a 1-3 paragraph RPer but will mirror, and also prefer mirroring in return. I consider myself fast about discord replies due to my work life, and try to have at least one post a day from my partners! It's totally fine for me with communication if you may need to go slower. Then I can plan my expectations accordingly. I simply try to avoid time bubbling as much as I can!
As for (me) the player, I'm based in the US on Eastern Time, 25, with she/her pronouns. I usually go by Atalanta, Jude, Artemisia, Phi- whatever floats your boat. I work as a museum curator and I'm always down to geek.
