Hey, I'm Toko! I'm relatively new to XIV, but I've been playing MMOs for years. I am in my mid 20's and go by they/he pronouns. My main is Tierh'a Tolahko on Cactuar, so you might also see people call me Tier.

I apologize that this page is kind of long and scary, but there's a lot of important stuff here! Thank you for reading!

- Aristide is a character whose background and intentions I prefer to reveal IC.

This is not only because it's just more fun, but because he is the kind of character where it is easy to blend IC and OOC knowledge. Please don't take this personally -- it's something I myself would have trouble with.

- I do not recommend RPing extensively with Aristide if you have problems with dark/psychological horror themes and/or roleplay bleed.

Light-hearted venue interactions are going to be completely fine, but please be warned if you delve deeper beneath the surface. If you're not sure and/or need more details, please feel free to ask! I'm only secretive for fun, not to cause problems OOC.

- Please ask me before you include Aristide as a part of your character's major narrative, plot, development, etc.

This may sound draconian, but please avoid involving him IC with people I (the writer) have never met, at least without running it by me first. To put it very bluntly, Aristide is a really fucking overpowered character that is involved in a lot of terrible things. Not everyone is okay with all of those things.

By design, most of those things are somewhat loosely defined. I'll often describe him as an "overpowered plot device". His relevant capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses will depend on what I and the other player(s) have decided works best for their RP needs. As a result, it's more important than usual that I can communicate with everyone involved, because players may have differing experiences with him.

OOC consent is key, and it's hard for me to ensure I have it if I'm not involved. I've had to ask people to retcon stuff before and it sucks for everyone. Please don't make me do it again. I don't want to cause anyone problems OOC -- I just want to facilitate others having fun!

- I took a break from roleplaying for a very long time, and I'm slowly getting back into it. I have a bit of anxiety about roleplay, so I ask that you please be patient with me! I might take a little longer to reply than you're used to.

- I'm fine with all types of roleplay. Go wild—I'm down to write pretty much anything, and I mean it. Please expect dark themes with this character, and feel free to be as much of an asshole to Aristide as you'd like. There's very little you could do to actually cause permanent harm to him -- but if you wish to try, give me a heads-up OOC.

- Walk up and tells are more than welcome! I'm bad at making the first move, so it's always appreciated. Feel free to hit me up even if my RP tag isn't on—we can always plan something for later!

- Please, please remember to keep IC/OOC separate. I am not Aristide, and Aristide is not me. Please be as mean and nasty to him as you'd like! But please don't take his actions personally. I, myself, think you're pretty cool.

- for surely no particular reason: please, please don't be weird about garlemald at me.
