o1.    THE cold start

I. The Skatay Range: Seven was born in the frigid mountains of the Skatay Range, and he lived an unremarkably ordinary life for a time. As his body began to change and mature, his idyllic life grew into a tumultuous one. A shift in his physiology made way for a shift in the way his people viewed him, which in turn, made way for a shift in how he viewed his people. He left the mountains a few short years later, stealing away into the night without a goodbye.II. Yanxia: Several weeks of travel later, Seven had found himself in a rural Yanxian village where he spent several years living a modest life with a small community of farmers. He came to view them as his own family, and he loved them dearly. After hearing whisperings of what lay beyond Yanxia, it was not long before Seven became enamored by the idea of continuing his travels. He packed the meager belongings he had amassed one breezy morning and left with the winter winds nipping at his heels. He has not returned since.

o2.    always onwards

III. Kugane: Upon stepping foot in Kugane, Seven was at a loss. The hustle and bustle was unlike anything he had experienced before and he struggled to find his footing in such a busy trade city. He picked up skills through trial and error, and run-ins with the Sekiseigumi. He learned to pickpocket and, most importantly—a far cry from the naive viera he once was—he learned the value of his own beauty. Seven discovered quickly that selling his body for the right price was the fastest means to a meal; be it for something as benign as a sympathetic conversation partner, or for more salacious reasons. He made his home in the beds of strangers but within this facsimile of intimacy, the seed of envy began to sprout.IV. Nana-gumi: Over time, Seven had settled into his line of work and built a rapport with his regulars—many of whom were criminals or low-ranking yakuza. He listened to them unload the burden of their families and their crimes. Along the way, Seven realized that it was precisely the life he wanted for himself. He coveted their stories and bade his time until the day would come that he could reach out and pluck a piece of Kugane’s underbelly for himself. He devoted himself to the idea of starting his own yakuza family. He used the information he’d gleaned from clients about what works and what doesn’t and learned secondhand from their experiences for the day he would make his move. Within the humble confines of a smoky apartment some several years later, Nana-gumi was born. He committed himself fully to their success, and would not stop until its success had been achieved.

o3.    stagnation

V. Aftermath: Nana-gumi was successful for a time. For close to two years, they grew in number—slowly accumulating wealth and influence through hard work and dedication. That is, until a rival family attacked their headquarters and spelled their downfall. They outnumbered Nana-gumi, and the tide quickly turned in their favour. Seven, realising that his family had lost, fled in the heat of battle, leaving his surviving family and Kugane behind.VI. Ul'dah: Several months later, he appeared again as if nothing had happened—this time in Eorzea. He has not made contact with Nana-gumi since, nor does he intend to. For now, he is simply content to remain at square one, possibly biding his time for whatever might come next.

Hiya! I'm Sin (please don't refer to me by my character's name!) and thank you for taking a look at this carrd. I typically do not roleplay with anyone under 21+ years of age due to the mature nature of this character. I'm an English teacher by profession, a furry, nonbinary and neurodivergent.Seven is my main roleplay character, so if I'm online in-game, it will almost always be on him. Alternatively, please feel free to reach out to me on Discord @sinisterhound.Please keep in mind the following if you want to reach out to me:

Frequency and patience: My availability can be a bit sketchy because I tend to mostly be available during EU prime active times, and I work 7 days a week. I'm also happy to roleplay on Discord as well if it's more convenient. I can typically mirror partner preference, but I am unable to write consistently for several hours at a time without making pre-established plans to do so.On themes and heavy topics: Seven does deal with some heavy themes, both in his backstory and just generally. I do my best to portray him with care put into what he's dealing with. I would like to stick to roleplay partners who have a similar understanding of nuance.I am vehemently anti generative-AI: Please don't approach me if you support gen AI, or use it to make character art. I will not write with you if you use chatgpt to write posts or character information.I have zero patience for real world bigotry: ACAB, free Palestine, punch nazis, anti-fascist, believer in restorative justice, and anti-racist. Scary holder of opinions that your parents warned you about, etc. I won't ignore sketchy behaviour or opinions just for the sake of roleplay.
