Flaccid Stump
Sharlayan scholar | Student of the occult & arcane
The Roegadyn with a curious name, a troubled past, and an evolving future.
A Few Short Tidbits
At fifty-two summers, Ser Stump is an experienced scholar and researcher with formal training at the Studium in Sharlayan. He excelled in the field of aetheric research, and at one point was considered a contender for achieving the title of 'Archon'.
Although a citizen of Sharlayan, Stump was initially born to a small tribe in the far reaches of northern Abalathia's Spine. Cholic and meek, his name was given as one of a number of measures to toughen him.
He suffered a debilitating back injury in his youth that he has never fully recovered from. It is often a source of pain and physical limitation for him.
Ser Stump abandoned his former home of Sharlayan together with his paramour, Amelia. With noble pursuits of saving the realm from the Seventh Umbral Calamity, she set off after the Circle of Knowing in hopes of joining and assisting in whatever way that she could. Because of this, Stump and Amelia found themselves at the Battle of Carteneau, serving a support role as healers. With the destruction of the moon Dalamud and the awakening of the elder primal Bahamut, the two were separated amidst the chaos. Amelia was killed by the raining debris of the artificial satellite. Stump survived.

Out-of-Character
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to look over my carrd! What initially started as a joke for a character grew into something I hadn't quite expected when Stump was first made. I am open to roleplay ideas and plots from others, provided we can discuss them first.
One thing to note is that Flaccid Stump will not be involved in any ERP. We can discuss some more mature or darker themes if necessary but anything of that nature will be ignored.
If you're interested in roleplaying together some time or wanting to get to know a little more about Ser Stump, feel free to reach out to me on discord. My discord is: zollarr#9796
Roleplay Hooks
Of Sharlayan: Having lived in both the Sharlayan colony in Dravania and Old Sharlayan, Stump gained a love for the life and the people of Sharlayan during his time there. He holds no poor disposition towards his fellow scholars, and so one who may hail from their homeland or have ties to the land will find ill-will from Stump. Nay, he'd welcome any news or tidings one has to offer.
Magically Inclined: Despite his rather large and almost imposing stature, Stump is a long-time practitioner of magicks and aetheric manipulation. He has delved into many fields of magicks; offensive, defensive, healing, among others. His curiosity remains to this day and when he discovers something new, he is happy to discuss it in depth with others. Conversely, being an older, studied figure of the arcane he welcomes questions from students and novices. That he might take an apprentice, however..
Healers, Adjust: One school of magic that Stump has focused on for the past few summers since the Seventh Umbral Calamity has been healing. Being trained in conjury and sage magicks, on top of knowledge of alchemy and chirurgeon practices makes Stump a rather practical healer for any occasion. Should one require his aid, they need only ask.
The Curiosity Collective: A project Stump has begun in recent days to help set his sights once more on the future; He has taken to seeking out more esoteric magicks and artifacts in order to study them. The project is self-serving thus far as Stump seeks to catalogue his findings; what information and items he discovers in time may change that however. Whether rumors and reports of an ancient artifact imbued with magicks leads to a treacherous expedition into ruins, or someone with a cursed object approaches Stump seeking a solution -- Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
