- indolent - guarded - noncommital - sarcastic - inferiority complexCHILI FLAKES-- forest name undisclosed-- is a young veena hailing from the distant forests of tural. though seemingly lacking in life experience, at least by viera standards, there is a streetwise wariness and anxious temperament hiding behind the curious glimmer in his eyes. something unsavory has shaped him, though it is anyone's guess exactly what. chili, for all his boisterous tales of travels, seems reluctant to share any of his past.☘ a runaway by nature; unbound, a transient, LAZY by some definitions. ever are there new sights to behold, greener grass on the other side of the distant mountain peaks, and chili yearns to know it. yearns almost as much as he fears stagnant waters.
after all, one cannot live carefree so long as the tides threaten to swallow.☘ though a child of the forest, he holds no particular love for lush expanses of green, nor does he embody the principles of his roots. if asked about it, one might find he is quite unconcerned-- laissez-faire, even-- about his clan and its cultures, as though he never knew them, and, twelve forbid any personal anectdotes pass his lips.☘ despite the unfettered attitude, however, he is a surprisingly CURIOUS individual, near childlike in his interest of others. with approximate knowledge of many fields and tangible mastery of none, he has no shortage of questions to ask, and an unabashed eagerness for stories.☘ he has precious few loyalties--- not one to be tied down, he avoids, or rather, outright FEARS the prospect of personal attachment. after all, one cannot be in control of his own heart if it is under the empathic influence of another. it is far easier to move, far easer to breathe, far easier to remain uninjured, when one remains entirely alone.☘ like any good traveler, chili is a bona-fide foodie. he has something of a universal palette, though has a particular fondness for all things SPICY. anyone who sees him eat a favorite dish need not ponder too long on the origins of his city name.

hi i'm tarto, i'm 26 years old, and i'm a freelance illustrator and longtime lover of beautiful androgynous men. I've been roleplaying for more than half my life and I'm still scared to talk to anyone in a public chatroom. here's some relevent information about me:pronouns: they/them or she/her

NOTES:
☆. I don't use 3rd party tools, so if your character's appearance is significantly different from their vanilla in-game model, you may need to describe them to me.
☆. i come from a prose background and am relatively new to in-game rp. i find it intimidating to approach people, but i love the spontaneity of improv, so please don't be afraid to send me a whisper-- or, if rp tag is on, just start talking to chili.
CONTENT WARNINGS:
☆. the undisclosed portions of chili's backstory involve themes of generational trauma, human trafficking, and emotional/sexual self-harm. he doesn't easily fork over information about himself, but please be aware if you start to dig.
☆. i'm not squeamish about what i read and write. i like to explore uncomfortable scenarios and put my characters through psychological distress. while it certainly isn't all i do, i am relatively open about it, and i don't tolerate judgement or policing.

☆ 01. Please do not interact if you are <18. I prefer to handle mature topics, and will not write with minors.
☆ 02. I reserve the right to refuse/walk away from any interaction as I see fit. I am very anxious and can be very choosy about who I think I will and will not mesh well with. Please do not take this personally.
☆ 03. I am happy to discuss plot ideas anytime!! Just send me a /t.
☆ 04. Please discuss potentially triggering/upsetting material with me beforehand!
☆ 05. I'm not a lore expert, and don't have the time or energy to become one. So long as I can suspend my disbelief and there's some amount of thought behind the reasoning, I'm open to bending.
☆ 06. As of writing this, I HAVE NOT FINISHED THE ENDWALKER/DAWNTRAIL EXPANSIONS. Please refrain from mentioning any major spoilers to me.

☘ WELL - TRAVELED. a curious & restless nature means a man can hardly sit still. having been halfway across eorzea, from ishgard to la noscea, chili has amassed an arsenal of historical, cultural, culinary, and trivial knowledge of a variety of cultures. need directions? on a quest? seeking the finest drink or the best deal this side of the continent? chili may have information for you.☘ THRILL SEEKER. chili's chronic lust for life manifests in myriad ways, most notably in his borderline obsessive need for adrenaline high. be it an illicit encounter, brush with a behemoth, or a particularly high stakes game of triple triad, he rarely backs down from anything that promises to titillate any of his five senses.☘ INFORMATION HOARDER. chili has made a point to visit nearly every bar, tavern, inn, and casual eatery on the map, sampling menus as well as local gossip. forming entwined habits of people watching & eavesdropping, he's amassed quite the trove of information. useful, perhaps, if one is seeking something, or someone, or if they're simply looking for a tale to pass the time. -☘ TAVERN ENJOYER. not to say he's a man who loves a drink, but... well, who doesn't love a drink? not to mention, local watering holes are notoriously excellent sources of information. drinking alone on a friday night? chili will be glad to keep you company.☘ WHAT'S IN A NAME? go on. ask him about the name. you know you want to.
