the soul.
the high priestess Divine truth has been gifted to Rais, and that truth is what guides his life. Rais will not stray from the path their cards dictate, she has been granted this gift and this chance and she will not squander it. As such Rais believes heavily in the divine, they are sensitive to the changes in others and their aether. She wholly trusts any advice her cards provide The empress first impressions may only be made once and Rais is determined to present themselves in the most flattering light. You will never find a hair out of place or a wrinkle in their outfit. Every bit of them down their laugh has been crafted, practiced, and perfected just to ensure you leave with the most perfect impression.
The Devil In another life Rais was afforded every luxury, and given every indulgence. But this life has not been so kind. Rais is quick to give in to temptation, their greed knows little bounds, and given the chance to indulge he will take it. Rais has expensive taste and a consistently empty wallet. They are stubborn and difficult to please but given the proper motivation? He will be absolutely anyone or anything you desire. The Moon being privy to people's secret desires requires a careful tongue. Rais holds many secrets some their own, most belonging to others. But this trust is not taken lightly by them. Should you need someone to confide in Rais is happy to lend an ear. They understand all too well what it means to have a reoccuring dream- a burning question- or even just a dark secret, and they are happy to ease the burden by listening.
& key items.
important items commonly found in their inventory.
Tarot Deck
Rais is never without their deck. They believe it to be a gift from the divine and they would never reject a gift. Since they awoke with only the clothes on their back and the deck in his hands these cards have guided their every decision.
A ring
On his right finger glows a beautiful gem that shines as brilliantly as the stars that adorn his skin. once just a silly present, now a loving reminder of her partner's kind heart. This ring is one of rais's prized positions and you will never see her without it on.
Linkpearl
Perhaps the most inconspicuous of his items is the pearl tucked into his ear. Though Rais is hopeless with this technology the pearl ties him to someone he is too curious to let go. should his voice ever come through she will undoubtedly respond.
Color Pallete
the history.
It is a long and complicated tale one strewn across the stars. One that is not even Rais's lone story, because unfortunately for the viera there has almost always been two. In the beginning that was what got them into trouble. Unable to come to terms with either side of himself Rais chose not to choose and ran. Deep in the Golmore Jungle the young viera ran and ran until finally tiring and took refuge in an abandoned monastery. Once inside Rais did the only thing they knew to do: they prayed. He prayed for a life that he did not have to choose between pieces of himself, prayed for answers to questions he did not understand, prayed for anyone for anything. And when one soul is willing, another that aches to belong may join it.
Her life had been cut short. The perfect priestess well respected by her people well loved by her partner. She carried herself with grace, her words divine, her guidance trusted, and she loved her life. Everything about it was perfect and pure she did her duty and she did it well. Unfortunately with all perfect things it could not last. On the day she was to wed a strange darkness blot out the sky- and though they made promises to meet again, promises that upon their next meeting they would wed that their love would survive beyond death. When she reached out it was not his soul she attached to but another desperate for what she once had.Upon waking in those ruins Rais found themselves unable to recall why they had entered those ruins in the first place. In their hand was a deck of strange cards seventy eight of them in total, and even more strangely they found they understood the meaning of each and every one of them. Every night when they dreamed they found themselves in a life that Rais did not originally know. A life that was perfect a love that was perfect: a love that was to survive past death. A life that had been reborn within them, and with it a responsibility to reunite what had been lost.

› FREQUENTED LOCATIONS
The Whip A place Rais would never utter the name of aloud. But might you find yourself with an invitation you can find the viera loitering by the couches hoping to catch the attention of any number of well dressed guests. But they seem to be waiting for one person in particular... Trionfi Should you seek out a reading by the viera you may find them at Trionfi. They offer a limited number of services during their operating hours, and are always happy to provide guidance (for the proper price of course). Marzipan Often on nights when Rais is not needed elsewhere you may find them sitting at the bar of Marzipan. Though they only tug the bartender away when he is not with customers one might notice the blissful smile anytime their eyes meet. Gridania Rais works out of the Lavender beds and might be found walking amongst the flowers, or sitting by the water reading. They love finding new libraries that they might borrow far too many books from, and should you happen upon them you can be sure she will ask you to carry a majority of those books for her.

basic etiquette *
- 21+ Only for both IC and OOC, ideally 25+.
- I am okay with ERP but only if it adds to the story! I may ask to fade to black!
- IC is not OOC I am not my characters and their opinion of a character does not in any way reflect my opinion of the author!! Please just ask me OOC if you need clarification from me!
- I love character drama and harder conversations, but please communicate OOC so we are both clear on our limits!
- If you're not vibing with something in the story then we can always change directions! Just talk to me OOC so we can work out the best path!
- Please respect my time. I promise I will always respect yours and do my best to respond within a timely manner. But you never owe me your time and I don't owe you mine.
- Please do not put me in a difficult situation. Everyone I RP with is welcome to RP with anyone they like, the beauty of rp is that there are so many stories to tell... so if you are looking for a solo writing partner I'm afraid I'm not it.
preferred themes *
- A Warning: Rais deals heavily with death and themes of reincarnation and potentially necromancy. If any of that is not your cup of tea please let me know ahead of time!
- Rais lives by the advice of their tarot cards, I pull these cards in real time as i roleplay and I will not change the outcome of the cards for the story. What they say is what Rais will do, unless Rais is convinced not to draw.

things to avoid *
- I do not do OOC readings!! If you would like a reading it will be IC from Rais!
- There will be no romantic plots with Rais, they are flirty! But their heart is already spoken for.
- No God Modding please no one is perfect (even if Rais says they are) just have a reason behind your character's skills or knowledge.
- No Metagaming, OOC knowledge does not equal IC knowledge unless we discussed it!
about me *
Hiya! I'm Honey, my pronouns are they them and I'm 30! I go to a lot of concerts and also work a lotttt so sometimes I might miss a message or two, know that I'll get back to you!

Please feel free to hit me up if you want to rp on twitter or discord!Disc: .honeycake

Seeking the soul
*› requirements: Knowledge of Aether, The Aetherial Sea, or Magic in general.
Rais himself has a very strong Aether sense, everything that they know about Aether and the Aetherial Sea is self taught. If they find you know more they will ask you how you learned it, where you learned it and to teach them. Rais is not one to be outdone and is a devout student given the chance. They have a fascination with the soul and death itself, what happens when one enters the Aetherial sea? Can one drift in and out? Would they still be the same? Rais has so many questions and would love to find answers.**A note Rais does have aether sight but she is polite enough to not comment on it, unless it is concerning to them. They view it as an aura surrounding a person, its color and strength depends on the person they are viewing.
an outstretched hand
*› requirements: Gil
While Rais's heart might be taken, his attention can (unfortunately) be very easily bought. They have expensive taste and love to be spoiled. Should you have any extra gil in your pocket you can be sure Rais will be quick to hold out an expectant and empty hand.
the whispered word
*› requirements: curiosity, gossip, or just a love of chatting
If you're curious about your fate Rais is certainly happy to reveal it to you, for a price of course. But even if you do not wish to consult his cards Rais is always happy to chat- especially if the conversation is interesting. They adore gossip of all kinds, secrets that are entrusted to them, or any manner of interesting conversation. If you want to talk, Rais is always willing to listen.
Oriane Yumitori
Few hold the title of Friend in Rais's life Oriane is the exception. She is a trusted ally and confidant- someone who Rais both admires and fears. Oriane is as close to a sister as Rais has ever experienced, though they are not related by blood should she ever call upon them Rais would not hesitate to answer.
relationship type friends
Mehro Addox
potentially one of the most frustrating individuals Rais has ever met... and the only man to ever make them feel truly alive. Mehro is Rais's heart, the person they trust most on this star, and their partner. Where they once dreamed of another life now they dream of a simple one- a home with him.
relationship type boyfriend
B'rhoze Tia
A strange and fascinating miqo'te. B'rhoze is an acquaintance, and a talented business partner. He caught Rais's eye with his sparkling creations, and kept it with his curious mannerisms. Together they have a beneficial arrangement: Rais sparkles- and B'rhoze crafts.
relationship type acquaintances
Valerius Verninne
A kind and caring man who had met Rais at a time when kindness and care were something for them to steal. A man who they wrapped around their finger only to flick away once he got too attached. Rais owes him an apology.
