Personality

Kimiko may have been raised to be a bookish and intelligent young woman, but she is - above all - passionate. She has a taste for adventure and is always willing to try new things, claiming that she'll try anything one and that she isn't afraid of anything.

She's lived on her own and on the streets long enough to learn to adapt to her environments. She can act tough when she needs to, and she can just as easily play the damsel to get herself out of trouble or convince someone to do something stupid to protect her. The survival instincts have made her a bit selfish, willing to do whatever it takes to keep herself safe and comfortable.

When dealing with clients and coworkers, she's very respectful and polite when it's needed. Off the clock, her speech and mannerisms become slightly less refined, and a more playful - but mean-spirited - sense of humor bubbles to the surface. And while it's true that she has sex for money, this fact has done nothing to diminish her sexual appetites. You know what they say: Love what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life.

Background

Kimiko prefers to keep her past vague at best, and when she does provide details, they tend to be somewhat... inconsistent.

The broad strokes are generally the same: she was raised by a conservative family (occasionally they were exiled nobility or members or a particularly bloody crime syndicate) and lived a sheltered childhood surrounded by books and learning (sometimes in a tower surrounded by a moat accessible only by rope ladder).

When she came of age, she left home (this is sometimes facilitated or hampered by bloodthirsty pirates) and no longer speaks with her family (who are either dead, exiled, or missing under mysterious circumstances).

Once she arrived in La Noscea, Kimiko continued her studies as an Arcanist while learning a lot about an entirely new culture. As is often the case with pretty young things who arrive to a new place with no contacts or safety net, much of this learning happened on her back or up against a wall.

After completing her studies, Kimiko traveled between La Noscea and Thanalan and tried her hand at 'legitimate' employment several times, but in the end she always returned to what she did best.

She was gone from Ul'dah for about six months following a misunderstanding with the Brass Blades. (Depending on which version of the story she's telling, it involved either blackmail, a buried pirate treasure, or a runaway carriage full of orphans.) After Kimiko returned to Ul'dah, she began seeking a more stable environment to ply her trade, finally arriving at the Vivid Union.

RP Hooks

The Vivid Union - Kimiko works as a Companion at The Vivid Union, so anyone who is a regular customer or an employee there would definitely know her.

Raen - Though she obviously is a professional about these things, Kimiko does seem to avoid taking on Raen clients. She has no issues with Xaela, but tends to give Raen the cold shoulder. She may not even be fully conscious of this fact.

Family Ties - Contrary to what she would like people to believe, Kimiko's family didn't get kidnapped by pirates or disappear mysteriously. The fact is, they're still living in Hingashi and are comparatively wealthy and influential. Her father has a vested interest in seeing his daughter returned to him and is not above hiring people to look for her.

Party Girl - Is there a cookout on the beach in La Noscea? Dance party in Ul'dah? Kimiko would likely be there, and anyone who moves in the party scenes could have reason to know her.

Out of Character

This character engages in ERP and other adult themes. I am over the age of 21 and I will not roleplay with anyone unless they are over the age when it is legal for them to view pornographic material.

Though I'm all for being approached in character and having things develop from there, there absolutely needs to be out of character communication channels before and during any ERP - consent both in and out of character is essential, and player comfort always trumps roleplay: scenes can (and should!) be paused or ended if anyone becomes uncomfortable.

Although Kimiko is heterosexual, she has no problem being brought in on a third with couples as clients need it.
