MAMUSHI or even salmusa is a pit viper found in both yanxia and hingashi. severe bites require intensive care, it takes normally a whole week long to heal after being bitten. a name used to be born anew and do something else besides odd jobs here and there. rin isn't a mercenary, but the "mamushi" is.
raised to be a gentle and traditional doman woman, rin was polished by her clan to overflow with serenity and fluidity. the portrait of the perfect yamato nadeshiko. yet, despite all their efforts, she grew up to be someone quite visceral, perhaps too much for her own sake.the auri lass' feeling of constant hunger can be translated as a feeling of emptiness โ and yet she struggles to understand how one could feel what absence is. similar to the duality concepts of abhutaparikalpa; "neither empty nor existing; both empty and existing."her key word is, indeed, duality, for she can wear the pretty nobility mask, while in fact being the smuggest creature one could meet. easy smiles, a snake-like gaze, horns sharp to overhear conversations around her. daring and somewhat reckless, she isn't the "fastest chocobo in the race", people could say.rin isn't prone to accept her failures and defects and sometimes seeks punishment. a perfectionist of sorts. after being released from the doman military ranks out of her self-destructive habits, she feels she has no honor left. the raen is vain and likes to take care of her appearance. easily fall into vices, smokes and drinks, maybe too much.a bit desensitized to violence and still tries to argue that war is the worst thing one could go through. a patient creature by choice. doesn't like to wait, but knows it's needed to get to the most opportune moment.has a huge potential to love, but also to be obsessed. holds too many grudges, has a head hard as a brick. feels intense passion and whoever has her loyalty will have it until the end of her days. rather easy to live with, since she pretends to be obedient and well behaved with quite the skill. often hides her true intentions.rin still isn't at peace with herself nor knows how to live by her own company. there's no option for peace, it seems, no matter how she tries to. to be a samurai is to serve, but what is to be a ronin besides finding a reason to live?

the minamoto, an ancient family from doma, was one of the raen clans that rose above status and established their roots with many illustrious members. with the meanings of โoriginโ, โrootโ and โsourceโ to their surname, the dependable swordsmen from the clan maintained their military status serving domaโs royalty for eras. minamoto no hayabusa followed his ancestors' path and was a loyal samurai to kaien rijin while his wife, the hingan yatsurugi no kana, took great care of their daughters, rin and shou.both the girls were taught the art of suiboku-ga and playing shamisen. raised to be two perfect maidens, rin and shou excelled to impress their relatives. though it wasn't enough to the oldest of the siblings, for she wanted a more adventurous life, rather than just sitting and playing instruments to please her family.hayabusa's knew he couldnโt lock away rin's free spirit. he took his own daughter as an apprentice, but never gave her a proper sword, so she couldn't fight the rebellion.after the fall of doma and hayabusaโs death on the battlefield, rin inherited his blade and soul stone. the auri lass traveled with many other refugees to eorzea seeking shelter to her mother and sister, just until finally being able to return to the east.
rin needed to train and sharpen her skills, and so she did. the au ra participated in the battle at doma castle, helping the namai villagers, rather than invading the inner part of the castle, getting assured that everyone was safe. doma was free, but she still had a lot of fight left within her.after helping the ala mhigan resistance, her daimyou told the minamoto to leave the doman ranks after he saw rin overworking herself to help rebuild the doman enclave. as a ronin, all she did was to wander the whole star and to accept some odd jobs to feed herself.her life as a mercenary started at the same time she began learning about the irezumi art, following an old doman master to learn how to tattoo bodies with a bamboo tebori. her first art piece was on her own body, over the ribs.wherever the wind would lead her to, she'd go. rin often found herself on the bottom of a bottle, trying to drown her distress.no matter how many tragedies seemed to follow her, rin felt she had no right to rest. a hard worker and a mercenary. once a noble woman, now a wanderer with no honor left, changing skin as a snake. whatever mask she uses, she's still alive
|| hi! you can call me chi. i am a 30 years old female with she/they pronouns and i've been roleplaying since i was 10. i love to build lore and create characters. feel free to contact me via discord, @tendogoken, and bsky, @gosetsu.|| i am not my character and I'm not seeking irl relationships.|| i really like to make friends and to roleplay, but i tend to go through deep social anxiety. please, be patient if i'm not answering you! it takes me time to get used to chatting with new people. besides, my time zone is utc -3 and english is not my native language.|| art was made by me and i do not consent on having them used elsewhere.
|| Rin is not the Warrior of Light. Nor she has the echo activated. Also, I don't mind interacting with wols, but keep in mind that I do not engage in fights and drama with overpower characters.|| My writing style is adaptive, though I really prefer short roleplay, since I scarcely have time to play.|| do not seek my character for the purpose of erp. rin is happily in a closed relationship and this is not the kind of rp i'm focused. my interest is in ffxiv lore related roleplay.|| i do not tolerate homophobia, transphobia, sexism, racism, pedophilia and ableism.|| let's have some fun together!
