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.
