-Gloom carries a tomestone-looking device everywhere and types on it to communicate with others, simply holding it out to read when she finishes typing. Reportedly she is able to talk just fine but chooses not to.
-Gloom smells like peppermint and can be found in a crowd fairly easily due to it. Ask her to share a mint!
-Gloom loves music and can often be spotted idling near any bards performing.
-Gloom's default expression tends to look very melancholy.
-Her coeurl kitten, Salem, is actually a stray that follows her around. Gloom never considers him "her" pet and more of his own being.
-Gloom was raised in Ishgard and has a trace of Ishgardian accent because of it (when she actually speaks, that is).
-Gloom does smuggling work for a nameless crime syndicate. She delivers illegal or sensitive materials to the proper clients across Eorzea. Those in the underground trade may recognize her.

History

((WIP; cleanup required.))Gloria "Gloom" Darksday was born in Ishgard some 22 years ago to Rauland and Marigold Darksday. Her father, Rauland, worked at Skysteel Manufactory for most of Gloom's life until they left to live in Gridania where Marigold had extended family. Gloom never quite adjusted to life in Gridania, leaving her feeling like an outsider.A wanderer by nature, Gloom took her father Rauland's salvaged magitek motorbike and ran away from home when she was a teenager -- but kept in touch with her parents by mail, just often enough so they knew she was safe. Life wasn't easy for her, but she made enough coin doing simple labor to keep on her feet. It seemed like things were going to be stable for her... until the Calamity hit. Riding through the realm to go check on her parents, she saw a land that was completely alien to any she had known before. When she made it to the remains of her home, she found out that she was the only surviving member of the Darksday family.In the years since that day, Gloom has worked as a courier for hire. When not riding between the city-states on her bike to make deliveries, she can be found idling away at bars, venues, clubs; anywhere music is played, really. She also picked up a stray coeurl kitten named Salem that accompanies her across the realm.In recent months she has begun doing underground courier work for a nameless crime syndicate. Her job is to smuggle or deliver packages too sensitive to be trusted with postmoogles or other means. Though she is in the underground trade, she is careful about who knows this.She is nonverbal by choice rather than by nature, and chooses to type what she wants said into her tomestone-like device for others to read. She only speaks on exceedingly rare occasions -- and only if necessary.

About the Player

My name is Host, I am a 30+ they/them and I am still learning the ropes when it comes to roleplay and the lore.I am open to most forms of RP but would like to learn how to properly do long term and long form RP. If you would like to approach me OOCly before engaging in RP, that is fine too!I am okay (but inexperienced) with ERP and would prefer there be some emotional buildup for our characters before engaging.My Discord is available upon request if needed, as is my moon code. Neither of these are required to interact with Gloom, however! Just imagine she has no scales, horns, or tail if you approach her. :D
