ECHO - As a bearer of Echo, this power allows Gantuya to experience the final memories, feelings, and senses of any corpse she touches, as well as powerful objects and locations related to death. Typically this averages about 5 minutes, but the older a corpse is, the less time she has, and the blurrier the details. It also, quite frankly, knocks her on her ass. Her body reacts and tenses with wracking pain to reflect what the victim experienced, typically for an untenable amount of time - and that's ignoring the ensuing headache. _{(The more typical memory sight of the Echo is very vague for her, rarely if never triggering compared to her unique visions.)}

MAGIC - Naturally gifted with aether and learned in magic from a stint as a student of Mealvaan's Gate, Gantuya's knowledge of magic is spread among multiple topics, strongest of them her understanding of arcane geometry and visualization. To this end, while she can employ proper theory with grimoires she struggles with trusting familiars (ACN), crippling her effectiveness in the art. Instead she employs magic differently, pairing it alongside her natural strength as a confluence of magic and swordplay together (RDM/RDM w/ shield). She's also found she's shockingly gifted at exploiting the same concepts of arcane geometry with Nooliths (SGE), though how she uses them is... uniquely not for healing.

SWORDPLAY - With an odd mix of Eorzean Treatise fighting and some Yanxian jian form, Gantuya's swordplay is flourishing, fast, and flashy even before magic gets added to the mix. Though trained with some armor and shields, she's more likely to deploy wards or simply dodge.

On the Case! - Hiring her isn't out of the question. Her ability to find people, things, and murder suspects has earned her a reputation, especially in the La Noscean area, though she works in Ishgard. She even has flyers and business cards around! (Please /tell me if you want to meet at her office.)

'Til Sea Swallows All! - Serving previously in Maelstrom as a Triage Chirurgion before ascending into their Intelligence sector, one might recognize her from her prior work in keeping them alive or otherwise. The rest of her record is formally blacked out thanks to the clandestine nature of her work, aside the date she formally left service to act as a detective.

... A Seven-Per-Cent Solution. - She has a neutral opinion on drugs - and what proper detective isn't into altered states of mind? To this end, she seeks out dealers of psychedelics, uppers, and downers.

Baying of the Bloodhound - The stress of her job and some looming violent tendencies lead her to blow off steam in fighting circles -- legal or illegal, aether or not. She dons the epithet of 'The Bloodhound', with a reputation for grappling, dogged determination, and aggression.

Blood of the Kha. - While her parents left the tribe when she was eight to travel further around the world, any members of the Kha (or those who traded with the tribe) may still recognize her as the sickly, near-blind runt she once was. _{... and still is, if she's going to be honest.}

Coerthan Wheeling and Dealing. - Recently involved in Ishgardian business deals as a proxy for her father's shipping business, Gantuya's started to make her face known in the city as she navigates the storied city's traditions and prejudices. The fact her presence makes some uncomfortable has become a point of entertainment for her.

** The Devil Without. -** Other recent dealings and investigations into more arcane cases have put her repeatedly into opposition with voidsent. The risk of life and limb for both herself and her allies has brought her to a new obsession, seeking knowledge and training alike on how to vanish the foul beings.

... or, anything else you may want to discuss!

Veteran Roleplayer. Still new to some of XIV's deeper lore. Feel free to /tell me if I've missed something.

18+, no ERP. Mature/dark themes are fine -- I'm not interested in ERP and romance RP. If things get too dark, communicate with me.

IC=/=OOC. Keep that in mind, no hard feelings, and we're all good.

Feel free to give me suggestions.

Yes Echo, not a WOL. Unless one of her specific Echo triggers gets brought up (a corpse), she doesn't have visions prying into peoples' past often if at all outside of vague semblances of memory, and personally I will not do this. If you want her to experience some Echo visions, that's on your consent. It's your plot device, not mine -- go wild!

I prefer to let history come out through RP, but if you want to discuss specifics, go ahead.

I mirror post-length for the most part.

I can be fairly busy due to my schedule, so feel free to ask for my discord.

All but the last four pieces of artwork and BG are mine; Artists are @RattlePool, @oignonDB, and @45liza109 respectively. Background is @irontom00.
