Miko Shiroi
Miko Shiroi is a melting pot of contradictions. He is the lovechild of a keeper and a seeker, as well as both a courtesan and a priest. He is often engaged in the pursuit of pleasure. He seeks out lively conversation, fine wines, and other such luxuries. Some may call him spoiled, but he would call it "appreciating his resources."

As charming as he is beautiful, Miko always does his best to sweep people off of their feet. He is observant and always on the lookout for what makes a person tick. He has a daily care routine for his hair and tail that he follows rigorously. He has many an acquaintance and few friends; it's a touch difficult to break past his public facade and get to what's hidden underneath.Appearance:As a Viera:
He is every bit as dainty in his Viera form as he was a Miqo'te.His most notable features are his ears and his tail (yes, he has one!). His ears are lengthy and slender, ending in longer-furred tufts. These tufts curl inwards, much like the fur on his ears when he was more feline. His ears are also often adorned with plated jewelry and/or hanging earrings with gems.Likely due to some fae mischief, Miko has a feature that wouldn't normally be seen on a natural-born Viera - a tail. It's your basic bunny tail, but does have a bit of a cowlick upwards.Other key features that aren't race-specific, as noted below, remain the same.As a Miqo'te:
Miko is a beauty of a Miqo'te. The way he carries himself is elegant and full of confidence. He bears key features of both Keeper and Seeker, but seems to take after his Keeper mother more-so. His skin is peach-toned and bears a clear complexion free of blemishes or scars. He has no freckles and no discoloration.Miko's eyes are a medium-violet hue that lighten or darken with expressiveness. They're delicately framed by thick, white eyelashes. Slit pupils are a decidedly Seeker trait that he has inherited from his estranged father. The eyelids are often adorned with a vibrant, red-orange eye-shadow. Miko's ears are wide at the base, coming to a cupped shape near the end. The tips angle upwards, not unlike devil horns. The insides are rather furry. Possibly his most proud feature, Miko's tail is large and imposing for his race. It is fluffy like a fox's and curls slightly at the tips.There is a puncture wound scar upon his upper right lip; it is hardly visible at most times due to a generous amount of makeup. He bears no tribal markings. Temporary Henna-like tattoos cover his skin (from neck to toe) and are changed/re-applied daily, most often upon his arms.Philosophy and Ideals:
Anything to satisfy a desire. Miko is drawn to the most lavish events and tasteful venues. He is a staunch pacifist and looks down on needless fighting. As such, he's never present at events like The Grindstone or Spellstone or any other such battle tournaments.Likes: Wine (specifically Doman Plum Wine), Sweets, Older men, Peaches, Romance Novels
Dislikes: Fighting, Having his hair/tail messed up, Garleans
Strengths: Well-spoken, Open-minded, Worldly
Weaknesses: Vain, Secretly self-loathing, Narcissistic
Fears: Boats, Love, Showing Vulnerability
Kink List: Link: 18+ ONLY
Let me be your man ⎯
hooks
Coquettish Courtesan: As it is his main source of living and income, Miko is always on the lookout for potential clientele. It's double the fun for him if the encounter starts out with the rare intellectual conversation. Lay on the flirtations and compliments; he eats it all up!Practicing Priest: Having romance troubles and looking for a blessing from Menphina? Low on coin and hoping for a blessing from Nald'thal for marketplace prosperity? Tying the knot and looking for an ordained authority? Miko is your guy! Not only can the miqo'te handle all of these things, but he can also facilitate funerals, healing ceremonies, and more!Marvelous Model: What is someone who is blessed with good looks to do besides flaunt them? Miko often helps out Redolent Rose at Ul'dah's Sunsilk Tapestries by modeling the newest fashion lines. In return, he gets to keep the clothing that he wears. What a deal! Maybe you recognize him from advertisements or out and about on the city?Fae-touched?: If one looks really closely - like, maybe squints - they might be able to discern faint fae traces upon Miko's being. They've made their mark and left it.Silver Under Hills: The venue that Miko co-owns with his husband, U'khei, and his pride and joy - Silver Under Hills. The fae-inhabited lounge, catering to adult clientele, was established by a pact that was as much of a gift as it was a curse. The "Fae Queen" is absolutely glued to it.WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR:Dark/Mature RP: Admit it. We all like to see our OCs s̵̛̬̎u̴̪͑̅f̶̩̾ͅf̴̜͚̉e̷̳̾̓r̵͔̊͒. I want to make Miko feel FEELINGS. Make him make hard choices. Make him worried. Make him conflicted. Break that polite, put-together persona of his. Have something on your mind? Tie me into your schemes! I'm sure I'll love it!Long-term RP: Just like in real life, there are those people that you coincidentally keep running in to. Or those people that you purposefully keep running in to. Either way, this leads to development. Let's have our characters' lives tie into each other! Whether they become friends, enemies, or something in between, I'm sure it'll be interesting!WHAT I'M NOT LOOKING FOR:All ERP, Every Day: Listen, I am fully aware that Miko's a courtesan. I know. I created the character. But this does NOT mean that all I'm looking for is casual fuck-buddies. I want interaction and development before our characters screw. If you want ERP solely for ERP, you can set something up with me personally. Yes, this means real gil.Romance RP:
Miko, like all of my other characters, is paired with my irl fiance's character (U'khei Shiroi). They are monogamous.Gotten this far and looking for the courage to walk up to me? Well, this is your sign! Do it! I don't bite, and I'm probably just as nervous as you! ♥
And let our bodies intertwine ⎯
OOC
Hello, hi! My name is Kyle!I'm a 29 year-old trans male. I've been writing as a hobby since I was very young, and I've been playing ffxiv for a little over 8 years.I am engaged my partner of 6 years. So, obviously, no OOC romantic advances, please.I enjoy writing almost any kind of rp, but my favorite things to write are dark/morbid scenes. I really like the tension and emotions that can come of them. That being said, please speak with me OOCly before:
- maiming my character
- killing my character.Hard Stops
Please, and I cannot stress this enough, do not cross IC and OOC and absolutely do not drag me into OOC drama. If you want to get your feelings hurt OOCly because of something my character does ICly, I will drop you. I'm not dealing with it, and I'm especially not enabling someone acting like a victim.On a less serious note, I prefer to keep my serious, long-term RPs limited to those who are devoted to their character concept.This means that, if you're the type to change your character's appearance, story, and history completely every week or month, I will not want to be serious RP partners.This doesn't mean that I won't still interact with those who change their characters often, but it does mean that those who fall under this criteria shouldn't expect to become close ICly.Availability
I currently work at an exotic animal vet (rabbits, lizards, snakes, birds, etc.), so I'm often unavailable during the day from 8am-6pm EDT on every day but Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If I'm lucky, I can sometimes check my Discord messages, but it's not always possible due to how busy our hospital is. With that being said, the days I'm most available are Saturdays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays (whenever our bi-weekly venue isn't open). I prefer to set a date and time to RP so I can plan irl things around it. I can also be reached via Discord at Sin Miko#0666 or @animecatboi.Lore
I try to be lore-abiding. I really do. Sometimes there's just so much of it, though, that it makes my head spin! If I screw up and say something that breaks lore or doesn't make sense, feel free to correct me. I'll probably be super embarrassed for a bit, but at least I'll have learned! I don't care if you bend lore, though, as long as you do it well. You can RP as a catgirl vampire princess from another world and - if you pull it off - I will be super impressed.Pro-Shipping
I consider myself a pro-shipper. This means that I don't give a flying fuck what you like to ship. I won't judge. Why? Because it's none of my business. If you are someone who considers yourself an "anti," please kindly see yourself out and never interact with me. You'll be doing both of us a favor.Fight Scenes
Miko is a pacifist and very careful of his reputation, therefore I don't anticipate he'll ever been in a fight. However, if a fight does happen, I feel most comfortable with using the /random chat command. But, if we speak about outcomes/actions prior to events happening, I could be comfortable with freestyling it.Regarding ERP
I'm chill with a lot of things. Honestly, if the scene starts going somewhere that begins to make me uncomfortable, I'll let you know.
I will not write sexually explicit scenes with anyone under 18. And, again, I do not write ERP without backstory, unless I am doing it for gil. You can book an ERP session with Miko at the venue mentioned on the "Hooks" page or you can set something up privately with me.
That everything, everything

✹ familial
✩ trusted
☠ antagonistic
♟ professionalFamiliarity:
✦✧✧✧✧
U'khei Shiroi ♡✩♥♛ | ✦✦✦✦✦ - Miko's husband. It took them a long while to get to that point, though. Miko is extremely possessive of the miqo'te.Astrid Bishop ♡✩| ✦✦✦✦✧ - One of Miko and U'khei's joint clients. She's somehow become one of both miqo'te's closest confidants.Ranirus Crithalos ♡ | ✦✦✦✧✧ - One of Miko's old friends from his first Company. Also probably one of the people Miko's known for the longest amount of time, even if they weren't extremely close. He thinks Ranirus a bit of an odd character, but one that is a pleasure to be around.Tabin Himaa ♡✩♟| ✦✦✦✧✧ - A private investigator Miko ran into when he first began dancing in Ul'dah. Miko has been an informant for him several times on various cases in exchange for connections. Miko has recently offered Tabin to be a joint owner of a new brothel with him and his partner, U'khei.Andras Solomon♟☠| ✦✦✦✧✧ - Tabin's head butler and lover. Despite his favorable business relationship with Tabin, Miko harbors a strong dislike for Andras. This is because Andras - who was carrying out Tabin's orders - once threatened his husband, U'khei. Now, U'khei is terrified of Andras (and Tabin - but particularly Andras), so Miko has become overprotective of Khei and hostile to Andras."Cheeseburger" ✩♛✹ | ✦✦✦✦✦ - The Shirois' absolute unit of a feline. Cheeseburger was named by Miko, but most of his care is given by U'khei (the more responsible of the two). He often shows up dyed different colors from time-to-time. The likely culprits? The Fae of Silver Under Hills, of course.Mint Callington ♡♟| ✦✦✦✧✧ - One of Miko and U'khei's favored clients. Miko finds Mint fun to be around, and enjoys trying to fluster the viera. Whenever Mint pays a visit to their venue, Miko knows it's going to be a good night.
