#verrotlore a fascination that started young, his first death. in the seventh rung of darkness, he saw the glitter of a butterfly’s wing. having never seen the stars before, the sun, nor the moon, he thought it something cosmic. he toddled after it, caught it, & it died in his hand despite his care.

mattokian beauty customs are as vast as the people themselves, but some core elements translate across the clans and across the vast tracks of land. these are typically predicated on appearing "obscurum" ; dark, night, void-touched. black pigment is key.

most of my illsvale lore [the kingdom in odynia, not the quarter in ishgard] is built out from my original ishgardian worldbuilding. beyond that feeble origin point, it has little in common, and highly contrasts! primarily where dragons + magick are concerned.

idk how much you're willing to reveal about your original world building but im curious to hear about what you would consider the main things that explicitly contrast ffxiv ishgard. not things that aren't there, but specifically are full on opposite or just clashing

verrot sees himself as a man exclusively within the context of pursuing other men ; his gender is inextricably bound to the attraction to and claiming of like flesh. his homosexuality bars him from "manhood" per the worldbuild, so in that way he is culturally third-sexed (ie: invert)

how would your oc describe their sexuality and/or gender? like if they had to tell another person how would they go about it

unmaking. rare is it all at once (though not unheard of) ; more so like plucking at the right loose thread, causing some great unraveling. snag too much against his patience, his autonomy, his command, his authority, and the soul is snagged in turn. misfortune falls slow but heavy.

verrot favors those ghostly eyes. that faint, scalpel-edged prick of light that catches on the eye when obscured behind a mask or cowl; how they narrow beneath bands of white, snow-fallen lashes. their animal intensity and spectral distance. how they look through others, but not him.

ornament is the mattokian way ; they are living reliquaries meant to embody grave goods given form. nail art is common amongst the various clans. while verrot keeps his naturally black claws plain with laborious upkeep and external rings, ruina paints and decorates hers.

dwelling on the eroticism of the supposed inanimate ; the haunted castle and its catacombs, charnels, gardens. for generations long before verrot's birth and control, the illsvalian quarter breathed and moaned as if it were alive. its stones, wells, bones, and bells were kindred.

though it is nigh impossible for verrot to get drunk, he has a plastered plate of choice. and that is salt cod puffs. if he is merely deep in his cups, he is a proper son of ruina and of the see and favors sauced stews with an emphasis on fruit and seafood. oysters, caviar, plums.

verrot never sings for others. no one currently alive has heard his voice, save for his familiars ; but most can tell by his humming he'd be a skilled singer. it's impossible to find an accurate voice claim, but I have a few that capture the "feeling."

the illsvalian quarter is the kingdom proper in odynia, hewn of black mountain stone and churned up from the earth like a post-mortem growth. it is a domain known for its morbidity, magecraft, and magnificence. while masks are common across odynia, illsvale favors crape and paint.

in contrast to the whistling used to communicate in the lowest ring of the brume, the melomaneus used hand bells and chironomia. despite the distance between himself and his paternal blood, verrot had to learn quickly the art of hand-speak. to this day he gesticulates while speaking.

all of the above, situationally. he enjoys watching how his body moves in another, how flesh arches and twists to near breaking to take him, keep him close, push against him. he also enjoys intense eye contact, cutting up a lover and eating them by the fork of his gaze.

Speaking of.
Does Verrot prefer to look at a lover during sex, or perhaps look away, or even look at himself instead?

verrot is opinionated and so it follows that he has opinions about certain activities. while he has some moral non-negotiables, his morals are askew. what he considers right or wrong is not always so. generally, he tends not to engage with the overly gauche or disinteresting.

does the ceo of sex draw a hard line on any activities in particular, or is it less a hard line and moreso a matter of xyz being too pedestrian, amusing, or similarly uninteresting, etc

i know verrot is a big romantic, does he consider all of his lovers individually, or is he always searching for a piece of elidibus/ichnaea in the lovers he takes?
