- DNI if you support themes of pxdophilia, rxpe, incxst, and the like
- Auri'a is not the WOL in lore. I have my own power expectations for them, we can discuss it more in detail.
- I am not comfortable with NSFW RP unless asked. Do NOT randomly get into my DMs and expect that. You will be blocked. I prefer to only do so with people I already have a history with.
- No Lala-lewders, I'm not comfortable with and want nothing to do with it
- I'm semi-new to RP, so please don't force any expectations onto myself or my character.

Eureka's Grasp
Being born in such close proximity to the primal Eureka, Auri'a was partially tempered at birth. Given that, Auri'a is able to mimic Eureka and create short-lasting Aether weapons.

Background
Auri'a grew up an orphan in Old Shalayan after their parents were killed in an accident with the primal Eureka. They were adopted by Galuf Baldesion and spent a majority of their younger years with Krile. Instead of joining the Students of Baldesion, Auri'a instead choose to become an Archon and joined the settlers of Idyllshire (né Sharlayan). Auri'a mainly honed their craft and delved further into the art of Aetherial Manipulation.
When the Sharlayan exodus took place in 1562, Auri'a remained in Dravania. If they returned to Sharlayan, they would no longer have access to the materials and experiences the main land could provide. In an act of desperation, Auri'a stole many key journals and papers on Aetherial Manipulation and fled to east to Coerthas. Upon arriving at Ishgard, they were able to gain citizenship with the help of Haurchefant Greystone and the Atheneum Arcaneum. They would still keep close contact with Matoya and Krile and be one of the only other people with access to the Antitower.Auri'a set up a small shop in Foundation (Ishgard) where they sold books and baubles. During this time the would remain in regular contact with Haurchefant and develop a romantic relationship with him throughout their early twenties. They would both mutually agree to end their relationship, but remained close. When the calamity struck Eorzea (Bahamut), Auri'a took the chance to leave Ishgard for a time to assist in recovery efforts and explore greater EorzeaA Full Document of Auri's MSQ Lore throughout the Expansions can be found below.
Hooks
-- i. --
The Lunar Librairie, whether you're in Ishgard or Mor Dohna, is home to Auri's many books and baubles, even those one can't normally get their hands on. Perhaps Auri has what they are looking for?
-- ii. --
At heart, Auri'a is a Sharlayan scholar and one deeply obsessed with Aether at that. Maybe they can provide insight on such things for you.
-- iii. --
The world is full of fantastical ruins and history, of which Auri is begging to explore. Who knows? Someone who's well versed in history and magic may be of use on your next adventure.
-- iv. --
The child of Eureka knows all but never tells. The Isle of Val holds many a secret only Auri knows.
