Pepenny Penny
They/Them
Pepenny Penny is a down-to-earth Plainsfolk who's not afraid to get their hands dirty. They wander Eorzea, often taking jobs as a bodyguard, mercenary, courier, or entertainer. A practitioner of both white and black magic, these jobs help fund their need for the materia, ingredients, and aether-infused trinkets necessary to study the arcane and perform various rituals. They don't seek unlimited power, nor do they have delusions of grandeur -- they don't summon voidsent, and in fact spend a lot of time trying to take down rogue mages that threaten the commonfolk!What certainly sets them apart from other Lalafellin is their looks -- they're about an entire fulm taller than most of their kin, and their body is a tad more lithe and a little less squat and stout. Rather than the typical pear-shape of other lalafell, they have the curves and defined features typically seen on tallfolk -- and this has caused some to whisper and gossip about possible bastard heritage. Mayhaps one of their parents was a Hyur or Elezen, making them a half-breed, a mutt, unable to truly fit in with any of the other races. Some have posited the term "halfling", but others brush it off as a preposterous-sounding word!But don't let their appearance fool you. Whether they're clad in full plate and wielding a zweihander that's longer than they are tall, or dressed in a black gown while waving a staff to weave intricate arcane incantations... well, that dark and dangerous aura is just the surface. Underneath it all, they are kind, humble, caring, and curious. Sure, they may put on a scary face to strike fear into the enemy, but when they kick back at the local tavern, they're more than willing to offer a smile, a drink, and a song!
This character, as well as the player behind the keyboard, is over the age of 21. They are an adult, not a child. They should be treated as such. Yes, Lalafell have a chibi-like appearance. This does not mean you have the right to treat them like little uwu babies. Creepy comments or /tells will be, at best, ignored, or at worst, get you instantly blocked. Any of the following will not be tolerated:
Anything remotely in the realm of ageplay or pedophilia
In a similar vein, any fetishization of childlike looks/demeanor
Intentionally/Excessively infantilizing my character
Intentional/Excessive misgendering, including not using they/them pronouns
"Mommy"/"Daddy" and similar nicknames with incestuous undertones
This is not a definitive list, but should be kept in mind. It's totally fine if you want to send a /tell saying "oh wow your character is so cute!" or something. In fact, I enjoy the compliments! But if you start saying stuff like "awww what an adorable smol baby I just wanna squish her lil cheeks :3", know that I am actively approaching your house with a metal baseball bat and no remorse.
