Rules
Serene Steep is a SFW venue, as such, nudity and any NSFW RP will end up with you being asked to leave.
Minions/summons are allowed as long as they are part of your RP/character lore, any OOC minions will be politely asked to be put away.
Homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, harassment or hate speech will be an immediate ban, this venue is meant to be a comfortable and safe space for everyone!
A cozy little teahouse based in the mist, with hints of kugane heritage run by a socially awkward carbuncle.While Serene Steep is a calm and welcoming space for those looking to unwind or find some moments of peace, the venue and it's owner seem to have some rather suspicious ties to a fairly secretive organization, it would be best not to question the sometimes masked figures that venture to and from the teahouse.

Name: Vaudryn Beaumont
Pronouns: He/Him
Age: 1000+
Gender: Non-Binary
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Relationship Status: Single
Born to the declining House Beaumont, a reclusive Duskwight line, Vaudryn Beaumont was the sole survivor of a forbidden ritual meant to bind voidal power recovered from the ruins of Mhach. Instead of summoning a voidsent, the rite fused the entity with the young heir. When the candles were relit, Vaudryn still stood—cold, breath shallow, pulse absent—while all others lay dead.He did not descend into madness nor become a mindless ashkin. Instead, he emerged as something rarer: a stable Nightkin, a mortal sustained by voidal essence yet governed by his own will. He ceased to age, required little sustenance, and bore only subtle signs of corruption—eyes faintly luminous in darkness. House Beaumont soon vanished from record, and so did he.
Centuries later, tales spread across Coerthas of a pale Elezen duelist clad in archaic finery, wielding rapier and red magicks in perfect balance. Voidsent left in his wake were found drained to husks. Believed to have taken up the discipline of the red mages, Vaudryn maintains equilibrium not as philosophy, but survival.Unaffected by sunlight or sanctified ground, he is instead repelled only by overwhelming aetheric purity. Among voidsent he is an aberration; among mortals, a rumor—sometimes a savior.

Name: Lupus Oraculum
Pronouns: He/They
Age: 24 years old in appearance—but he's been around for /much/ too long to truly be such...
Gender: Nonbinary
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual, but homoromantic (He seems to have a weak spot for men...)
Relationship Status: Perpetually in a state of yearning!
Hark and Listen to the story of A Dog's Tale...
A story shrouded in mystery—even to the being who writes its pages...Born in Gridania with nary a thing to his name but an instrument and an auracite flask of aether— Lupus has always lived as a nomadic soul— allowing the pull of The Winds and his inspiration to be the compass towards his next temporary home. On his voyages, he writes—he creates—he sings: tales of adventurers lost to lofty ordeals, songs of love that play the heartstrings as he does his lyre, and an homage to his life's given purpose of self discovery. Where he goes, he garners love and admiration through his benevolence and craft—ever the familiar face across the lands of Eorzea—Though never seen twice in one coordinate, his habits have taken a recent shift, with his interests pooled inside the comforting walls of the Serene Steep...
Physical Appearance!Hair: Split down the middle like a tub of chocolate and vanilla ice cream!
Eyes: Golden and kind—timeless stories lie behind their gilded hues
Height: 5'0 (152.4 cm)
Favorite Menu Item: Castella cake! He has a weakness for carbs...
Distinguishing Marks: A delightful—but faint—set of freckles adorns his face, some can even be found on every reach of his body—though they're not often seen beneath his traveling garb... Ooh, and a beauty mark beneath his lip, too!
Common Accessories: A two feathered hair quill whose ends glow with the life of wind aspected aether—with a matching vial that dangles from his belt! He loves golden accessories—choosing to wear layers upon layers of gilded dainty rings!
Hooks!
Those who hear his song endlessly crave the continued sweet caress of his voice—a familiar tune gets stuck in the minds of those who hear, allowing others to identify if they've experienced the once in a lifetime 'Dog-Bard-Sighting' urban legend. Perhaps you could be next?
His paws—deft as his hands—leave no trace as he walks the various surfaces of the star. The wind seems to pool at his feet and caress his body with unconditional care. This, paired with his almost weightless stride piques the mind that he /may/ be something more than what he lets on...
Frequent regulars recall that during the downtime between Lupus's performances, his eyes seem to linger and travel—brimming with a fondness warmer than the caress of spring winds on sun-kissed skin. For what or for /whom/ is a fact yet to be discovered...
