MEDICAL.     Mistress Cyriaquoix maintains a respectable stock of treatments and cures for common ailments, injuries, and conditions. For maladies more delicate or dire, specialized medical services are available by appointment.

    AETHERIC ENHANCEMENTS.     Decades of research and endless alchemical experimentation has resulted in the synthesis of Mistress Cyriaquoix's potent & unique aetheric enhancements. These alchemical substances are capable of temporary (and substantial) augmentation of one's own natural aether. Precise dosages and outcomes will vary from individual to individual, as each enhancement is custom-made.Due to the bespoke nature of these substances, a private consultation with Mistress Cyriaquoix is required.Aetheric enhancements are considered experimental; potential clients must be of sound mind and able to consent to the creation/use of the commissioned substance. Potential clients agree to accept all liability in the event of damage to property or harm to living beings, up to and including death.

    RECREATIONAL.     Ranging from smoking blends of purest tobacco to syrups that induce shared hallucinogenic dream states, these substances are high-quality and of dubious legality. Recreational substances can be purchased by individual dose or in bulk; bulk volumes and custom creations are available via private consultation.

    TOXINS & ANTIDOTES.     From paralytic poisons to lethal venoms and all that lies between, Mistress Cyriaquoix's mastery of toxicology is second-to-none. Antidotes to most common poisons are in stock and ready to sell. All other toxicological substances are available by commission only; Mistress Cyriaquoix guarantees the utmost discretion in both consultation and creation, and commissioners' identities are kept confidential.
Those interested are invited to contact Mistress Cyriquoix directly in order to secure an appointment.

    AETHER-DEFICIENT.     Those able to perceive aether will notice nothing remarkable about Ro save for small amounts of necessary, life-sustaining aether.    EDUCATOR.     Though Ro downplays her past, her assertive charisma and penchant for lending a guiding hand betray a previous life as an adjunct professor at the Studium.    ACADEMIC.     A lifetime spent poring through tomes is not well suited for the battlefield and, as such, Ro has limited combat capabilities. She's a damned good shot with a pistol, though.

    FIREBRAND.     Once a vehement and vocal anti-Bibliothec activist, Ro's spark seems to have cooled in recent years.    VENEFICA     Early in her studies, Ro demonstrated a particular talent - and passion - for toxicology. Now, decades later, Ro has her fingers in every cauldron: from the cultivation of poisonous plants to the synthesis of potent toxins and mind-bending drugs.    EXILE.     Ro has been away from Sharlayan for over a decade, but few know whether she left of her own volition. What is certain, however, is that the name "Ro Cyriaquoix" has never appeared among the citizen registries of Old Sharlayan.

    PICK YOUR POISON.    
        ^{[ ooc coordination required ]}
Ro's toxicological expertise is rumored to be renowned and her abilities are matched only by her discretion. Whatever you seek - poisons, venoms, drugs - Ro can supply. In need of something a little more personal? Ro can craft it herself... for a price.    AETHER? I HARDLY KNOW HER.    
        ^{[ ooc coordination required ]}
Much of Ro's recent alchemical research explores the limits and capabilities of the aetheric body, resulting in the formulation of unique alchemical enhancements. As said research is ongoing, mages, other aetherically-inclined individuals interested in augmenting their abilities, and individuals afflicted by aetheric maladies may do well to seek Ro's services privately.    HAIR OF THE DOG.    
        ^{[ ooc coordination preferred ]}
Got an ailment? Ro's got the cure. Her approach to healing reflects her proficiency in toxicology: like any good antidote, the cure is in the cause. While her ministrations are not always appealing to those who prefer a soft touch, those who endure always find their condition(s) vastly improved.

    FAR FROM HOME.    
        ^{[ ooc coordination required ]}
Something about Ro may give a Sharlayan pause: her unmistakable smirk, the timbre of her voice, the slip of her accent. Perhaps that Sharlayan is reminded of someone they knew long ago; of a friend, a rival, a professor, a colleague.Remember, though, that time changes all things. Further inquiries should be made with caution.    A WARY EXCHANGE.    
        ^{[ ooc coordination preferred ]}
Are you an artificer, gunsmith, or engineer in search of work? Ro has need of your abilities. From maintenance and modification of everything from delicate alchemical tools to firearm repair, Ro is willing to pay for services rendered; to ensure your discretion, she will pay even more.    A NOBLE CAUSE.    
        ^{[ ooc coordination required ]}
Ro bears a silver signet ring emblazoned with the crest of a noble house of Ishgard - a minor house, a wealthy house, a house rumored to be part of the criminal underworld - upon her person at all times. Said crest is unfamiliar to most who chance to see the ring, but should it be recognized...

    RP PREFERENCES.    

    CURRENTLY SEEKING.    

    NOT INTERESTED IN.    

    THE PLAYER.     mid-thirties, queer, EST. they/them. often available at odd hours, though i work a full-time job that can be demanding on my time. strong preference for in-game rp. because much of the content i write with ro involves mature subject matter, all players must be 18+ ooc; 25+ is preferred.

    RE: LORE.     while i strive for lore compliance, i am flexible and am comfortable with bending the lore pretty far! i also relish the challenge of writing within the setting's limitations, and, as such, have little to no interest in roleplaying concepts that consistently break the bounds of the lore. that said, please reach out to me if you want to roleplay but have questions; i can be sold on a lot of ideas!

    SCHOLAR     The midnight scratch of a hurried quill across parchment. A cloud of library dust caught in a late-evening sunbeam. The click of bootheels reverberating through empty marble halls. Mysterious rituals behind the closed doors of Thaliak's hem. The roiling clouds of a storm over Scholar's Harbor. The tectonic shift of a paradigm when the evidence cannot be ignored.    FIREBRAND     Praesent urna leo, rhoncus id libero at, mattis scelerisque libero. Praesent quis nisl nisi. Aenean eget dolor porttitor, finibus arcu nec, ultricies sapien. Donec libero ipsum, mattis et lorem quis, commodo placerat tortor. Fusce tempor nibh et tincidunt tristique. Cras odio felis, feugiat in lacus a, tristique dapibus massa. Proin aliquam leo ut blandit egestas.

Vivamus consectetur ex sit amet tellus maximus tincidunt.    VENEFICA     Essence of tobacco, freshly combusted, drifting through the air. The peppery snap of a late-summer datura leaf. Synthesized euphoria striking its peak. The allure of foxgloves blooming in the wind. Fearful drops of cold sweat on your neck. The honest rush of oxytocin in a lover's bed.
