Personality
Olive often keeps to themself, seemingly taking in everything around them or just listening. In conversation they tend to stay quiet and merely listen unless it is a subject that they care about in which case they will be far more vocal or if prompted for responses. Respectful to a point, they aren't quite along the 'stuffy' scholar aspect but they do tend to ramble without realizing it and when they do they often softly laugh at themself and apologize.They do, however, sometimes have a mischievous streak. Often times mainly seen if you're close to them or around their friends, this side of them can be somewhat rare to stumble upon though. Mostly though Olive is quite subdued, not one to show extremes in their emotions and often takes scientific approaches to everything. They are willing to help others if asked so long as it is within reason for them.
History
Olive's past is rather unknown to many. Generally due to how old they state that they are, much of the details is lost as it would tend to be in the realm of grand or great grandparents for many. For those who don't believe their stated age, especially since they look to be in their mid-twenties, Olive generally doesn't try and persuade them otherwise. They are known within Old Sharlayan for their work in aetherology and its ties within the environment... despite them no longer being tied to the Forum.Olive is often seen wandering around Eorzea, a mixture of them researching the environment and changes, and also most recently, helping those in need. Generally though, they are left alone to their own devices within the varying city states. Olive's carbuncle is a close companion, tinted a true emerald green in hue, and generally the easiest point of recognition for many. Beyond the archon marks on their neck that is.
Relations
* Denotes as NPC
Matcha NahdiA relatively grumpy and reclusive viera that Olive had met a few times whenever he traveled around Thavnair. They have met back up with him around Idyllshire and have helped him with an issue of his own. The two don't frequently meet, but Olive has given Matcha access to their apartment so he has somewhere to stay at least.
Frozen Hydra*The traveling researcher that Olive had met and subsequently gone with back to Sharlayan. She has helped Olive a lot as their mentor in varying forms of chemistry and aetherology and, after certain events, helped Olive further. She is currently helping the adventurers and any displaced people in Mor Dhona.
Elysia AvicennaA young Sharlayan that Olive knew the great great grandpa too as he was one of their teachers, becoming close to her family as they were studying. They first met the young Allagan researcher when she was a baby in Idyllshire, having been present for her birth and her first five years of life. The two separated when Olive stayed behind in Eorzea during the Exodus of the Sharlayan Colony (Idyllshire). The two hadn't seen each other since, only recently meeting back up in Eorzea.
Avicenna*Elysia's great great grandpa that Olive met many years ago when they were much younger themself. He was one of their teachers in aetherology for almost twenty years until he retired. His passing was a great sorrow to Olive and they made sure to pass their condolences to his family.(photo in progress)

OOC
Hello, I am 18+ and I have been rping for a while but as a heads up, mmo style rping is still relatively new to me. I would prefer that the person I am rping with be 18+ as well. This is a preference of mine and I would appreciate it being respected.
I am alright with all sorts of writing and themes and am more than happy to write dark themes. I am not okay with ERP however and will appreciate it if this is respected.
You do not need to match my length of response, but please try to avoid constant single sentence replies.
IC =/= OOC and know that I have the right to leave the RP at any time. I'll give a heads up if this is the case and I hope that you'll do the same if you ever feel the need to leave.
Lastly, this is all for fun. Don't be rude ooc and please no godmoding. Just respect my boundaries and I'll respect yours!
