Jacke Bennett one of a pair of twins associated with an ex-pirate family that now runs Bennett Industries, a premium smithing and textile production house in Limsa Lominsa specializing in providing luxury but functional arms, armor and outfits for adventurers across the realm. In truth, he is the last reincarnation of one of Hydaelyn's devoted followers tasked with protecting her champions.

  WARNING     roleplays in game and on tumblr are heavily NSFW in nature, and will delve into such heavy topics such as but not limited to: abuse, heavy and potentially upsetting discussion of gender and sexuality, discussion of trauma, mental illness and neurodivergence that may be potentially upsetting and sexual/erotic roleplay.

about ,

ELIO, living in Malaysia (GMT +8), trans man he/him only. I play final fantasy xiv as well as a lot of other games and am an artist by trade, as well as a social media manager/content creator & general administrator part time. I have been roleplaying since 2009, mostly on Tumblr and on a now-defunct forum, but haven't roleplayed for the last 7 years. you can find me on twitter as @phantomrvsh. My discord is available upon request if you'd like to plot/want an easier place to write and track roleplays!This character is on aether/sargatanas, but I also have characters on most North American data centers as well.

content ,

Unless otherwise specified in the credits below, most art in this page, blog and any links redirected from here belong to me. In no way are you to steal any of my art, lore and other content in my blog, carrd or otherwise and claim, edit or use as your own. I understand that in terms of FFXIV, character design traits are limited as hell and there will always be a similarity between our characters. But Jacke is a personal labor of love and I put a lot of work into establishing his story, aesthetics, design and voice, and I will be furious if I know you're stealing my work and claming it as your own.

regarding discourse ,

First things first: if you ask me if I'm proship/anti I will simply block you. I don't have to explain how I feel about fiction and exploring taboo subjects to you. Just know that I draw a hard line at incest, bestiality and anything that can be seen as pedophilic, even if it's fictional. I believe that no one should be harassed over fiction but I don't agree that some themes don't cause harm just because they're fictional and explored using fictional characters.Secondly, topics such as racism, sexual abuse (involving real people), transphobia etc are not drama to me. Don't tell me to "curate my space and block/mute", that only works for fandom stuff like not wanting to see fictional teens being boinked, not someone being racist in the community. If you're passive aggressive about this shit on Tumblr, Twitter or anywhere else, I will block you.Thirdly, do not ever drag me in drama involving others. I've had enough of the backstabbing and callouts. If I've caused you distress, my DMs are always open for discussion and reparations. I've been an asshole in the past and have also fallen victim to very unsavory characters as well. So please understand how this puts me on edge.

regarding erp ,

I'm fine with roleplaying erp straight away if you're interested in erp, especially if you see me in a NSFW venue. I write erotica best when I'm in a safe environment/situation, so it's likely that I would prefer to write with people I'm already established with more than a one-off, but I'm usually open to one-off erp.I'm fine with a lot of things. I'm comfortable with writing most sexual situations, but have only experience writing vanilla sex. Heavy kinks such as BDSM are things I need to research beforehand before writing, and I'm fine with writing situations where consent is unclear.A non-exhaustive list of themes I refuse to write:
- Incest
- NSFW involving minors (including but not limited to any teenage/child NPCs)
- Extreme ageplay, where my character or yours is assumed to play the role of a minor. This includes but is not limited to: school roleplay, ddlg, etc.
- NSFW involving Lalafells
- Racial fetishism (including but not limited to getting blacked, bbc, and anything related to it)
- Rape (dubcon, "consensual noncon" and kinks such as somnophilia where CONSENT and SAFE WORDS have been agreed upon before the activity are okay, but I draw the line at rape and other forms of sexual abuse.)a complete list of kinks I'm willing/not willing to write can be found on Jacke's F-List here.I will never force you to roleplay anything that you're not comfortable with. So please don't force me to roleplay anything I'm not willing to touch on. No means no, and continuous breach of my boundaries and jeopardizing my safety will result in you getting blacklisted/blocked.

If you read all of this, thank you! I apologize that these rules are so long and so thorough, but I want to make a lot of things clear and to make our writing experiences together enjoyable and safe. Please feel free to message me for any clarification!

general ,

I'm normally chill about a lot of things and tend to be very lenient when it comes to roleplay and interactions. There are a few ground rules that must be observed first, and are applicable across the board whether you're roleplaying with me on tumblr or in-game:1. I will not roleplay with bigots or fetishists. If in any event I realize I'm interacting with one, I'll end the roleplay and block/blacklist you.
2. I read the rules of anyone i'm interested in interacting with and I expect you to do the same.
3. I don't interact with minors. You need to be at least 21 years of age to interact with me.
4. Observe a strict separation between ooc and ic, especially if you're interested in erping with me. I'm not interested in pursuing a relationship offline just because our characters are banging each other.

regarding FFXIV ,

I'm caught up with MSQ up until 6.5! There will be spoilers, and I usually adhere to the official two-week embargo before incorporating current content into Jacke's story.I'm comfortable with roleplaying in-game, and enjoy venue hopping and visiting roleplay venues that catch my interest. This also includes the Balmung Quicksands, so don't be shy to say hello if you saw me and are interested!Jacke is a newly-established Warrior of Light who has inherited the position from my "main" WoL, and I operate on the assumption that he's the WoL. I do have a non-WoL verse and can (and would love to) write with the assumption that there are multiple WoLs! I'm very flexible and can write depending on your level of comfort/preferences. Welcome to discuss with me beforehand if you're interested in establishing anything!

relationships ,

I multiship/multiverse! Jacke's "canon" partner is SIDURGU, but I'm open to shipping Jacke with anyone provided we have already interacted and written together long enough, or we're friends. In other words, it means we need to already have some chemistry between our characters before we can ship. You know what they say about Rome, right?As stated before in the general section, please observe strict separation between ic and ooc. I have a boyfriend irl, and I'm not interested in treating roleplay like a matchmaking/dating service. I'm here to write and enjoy writing with other like-minded people and I will not hesitate to drop interactions and block you if I notice you're not separating ic from ooc.I don't do mains/exclusives due to personal bad experiences with it. I don't mind listing you as an exclusive of mine if you request it, but I'll always allow you to roleplay with anyone and establish all sorts of relationships with anyone you write with. I'm just very wary of being confined to someone's exclusive due to personal trauma and I hope you understand.

regarding heavy topics & themes ,

As I've stated in the "Regarding Discourse" section, I strongly believe that no one should be harassed over fiction, even if said fiction is taboo, problematic and/or heavy. That being said, I neither condone any of those themes nor do I want any part in them. If you deal with abuse in your writing, please tag them as #abuse. If you write nsfw of underage characters, tag them as #underage. This is how you keep communities safe.IMPORTANT My relationship with the theme of kinks related to consent/absence of consent such as dubcon, stockholm syndrome, somnophilia etc, and how it's explored in fiction is HIGHLY PERSONAL and I reserve the right to not delve into detail to people whom I don't know or are determined to see me in a bad light.I neither condone rape and sexual abuse nor do I always believe exploring them in a more "positive" light is a good thing. It's why I set heavy restrictions & emphasize on safety for this specific theme, and why I refuse to simply explore it with anyone. This is very, very important to me, and my safety will always be more important than being able to explore consent/absence of consent in fiction. TLDR: I don't force this on anyone, and if you try to force it on me just because these themes (barring straight up noncon) are on the table, not only will I block you, I will also warn others about you.I will always tag triggers. Please tag #abuse (esp mentions of parental abuse), #underage, #gore and #graphic violence for me. The last two are also important as any images/videos depicting them will trigger intense intrusive thoughts.

  name      Jacke Bennett
  aliases      Jackie, Jacke Frost, Cold-Hearted Jacke, mia stellina (by his father; only his father is allowed to call him this. matches with Luna's mia lunetta*)
  epitaph      Jacke of the Frozen Heart, Will of the Mothercrystal
  age      29 (as of Endwalker)
  dob      32nd Sun of the Fifth Umbral Moon (31/10)
  pronouns      he/they
  gender      transmasc nonbinary
  orientation      bisexual/biromantic (slight preference for men)
  race/clan      Au Ra, Raen
  status      Former servant of Hydaelyn, Warrior of Light
  location      Limsa Lominsa; currently resides in Ishgard. Owns a private suite in the Pillars.
  known languages      Common Eorzean, Hingan
  religion      agnostic; on paper, he is a follower of Llymlaen, the Navigator, as all Lominsans are. However, he personally worships Hydaelyn more than he does the Twelve.*I am aware "lunetta" is a common architectural term in Italian, but I was told it's also the correct way to say 'little moon', though I'm made to understand it's not commonly used.

IMPORTANT Jacke is   autistic   , and will have certain periods where he'd be nonverbal, experience meltdowns, sensory overload or may find it difficult to communicate with other people. The long period of adventuring alone without his twin to assist him or provide accommodation for him has proven difficult for him. Because of this, he's often quiet and doesn't speak unless spoken to, but given that his appearance makes him seem more mysterious than helpless, most people that only know of the Bennett twins on a surface level have mistaken Jacke as being the one protective of his twin, especially given that Luna had a reputation for being a "soft crybaby" most of the time - in truth it was Luna that has always cared for and protected him.He is not entirely helpless, however, and over time Jacke has grown more independent, more out of necessity after Luna was incapacitated for five years, having been put into a deep slumber to keep the effects of tempering from damaging Luna's mind to the point of no return.

  height      5'8"
  weight      85 kg
  build      muscular; strong thighs and broad shoulders, slight wide hips and strong arms
  skin      medium-toned; english rose complexion. flushes easily under the sun
  hair color      deep blue, like the afternoon sky; reverts to black post-Endwalker
  hair style      Mainly styled according to Jandelaine's "Modern Aesthetics: Styled for Hire"
  eye color      bright, pale blue, like the color of ice
  unique features      Round eyes with large pupils and small fangs, signifying Miqo'te traits from his mother's side; flecks of black scales dotted across white from his Xaela heritage. Retains horns and some facial scales pre-transition.
  wardrobe      most comfortable dressed in black; form and function seamlessly integrated into his wardrobe thanks to his more fashion-conscious twin and the specialization from his family business. Prefers light armor due to texture and pressure issues and eschews heavy armor in favor of fabrics enchanted with powerful defensive spells that can shield as well as steel pauldrons. For some reason, he prefers wearing high-heeled boots more, which have also been enchanted for maximum comfort.
  miscellaneous      often wears a specific perfume made purely from white Menphina peonies, flowers found only in the region of Coerthas and have since become extinct from the region following the Seventh Umbral Calamity.

personality His moniker of Jacke Frost did not simply come from nowhere; he is usually regarded as cold, aloof and unfriendly to most people... at least, at first glance. However if you mention anything that happens to be his special interest, Jacke's icy front melts almost instantly, and he will be more amenable to talking your ears off.
Get to know him better and you won't find anyone more dedicated and steadfast than he is. Believing his principles as absolute and the core of his being, he lives his life the way he's established:   steer your heart and mind in the right direction, and you can never be lost.  

  alignment      chaotic good bordering on lawful evil
  mbti      intj-t
  likes      sweet desserts, particularly Sohm Al tarts; peonies, especially white Menphina peonies; the sea, accompanied by tranquil days with clear skies; singing, if he's also given access to a piano or a lute - two instruments that he's been formally trained in.
  dislikes      loud noises - the sound of fireworks and crowds in a market or festivals are the worst offenders; the feeling of loneliness, which he spends years trying to fill that void in absence of those he's close to; disruptions to his routine, for he has a set of personal rituals, daily agendas and carefully-planned errands that take a long time to prepare for - interruptions to these plans and rituals deeply upsets him.
  positives      loyal, dedicated, steadfast, straightforward, assertive
  negatives      stubborn, intolerant, hot-tempered, impatient, reckless
  hobbies      Singing, can often be found either singing by himself or in a venue somewhere, by invite, open stage or private audience. Also enjoys reading books or sketching in between adventures; he keeps a travel journal on his person. Absolutely obsessed with Triple Triad. Not always very good at playing, but he would never turn down a good round of Triple Triad.

Most of Jacke's abilities are similar to the Warrior of Light. Due to the nature of his person, his true purpose and his role, Jacke's abilities and Echo were mostly tools granted to him by Hydaelyn to better assist his past lives in ensuring the Warrior of Light under their care carry out Hydaelyn's will and keep the darkness at bay. Because of this they also have the rare ability to hear and commune with Hydaelyn directly. Unlike that of Minfilia and Krile, these incarnations are able to commune with Hydaelyn Herself at will. As Hydaelyn's power wanes, so too does this ability; by the time Jacke was born as the guardian's most recent incarnation, he's unable to commune with her at all, and must rely on being more perceptive of Her whispers the same way Krile and Minfilia do.

OVERVIEW Jacke is the latest, and last, of the reincarnation of an Ancient named Hecate, one of Venat's most loyal followers. Through Hecate's fervent and fierce wish to aid and serve Venat with a more direct approach, her soul remained unsundered and was reborn, time and again, to find and protect the champions that Hydaelyn had chosen.

Born to a family of artisans with a booming multinational trade, Jacke enjoyed a relatively peaceful childhood growing up in Limsa Lominsa, though he was very aware that he was different from even his own twin; while Luna was flourishing in school and his chosen craft, Jacke was struggling. It was only through the lessons on the art of the blade taught by his Hingan uncle that he found his true calling - he would embrace the life of the adventurer, and explore the world.It wasn't too long before Luna joined Jacke in adventuring across Eorzea, their synergy and skill so renowned for a pair of young adventurers that the Company of Heroes brought them into the fold. However their glory was short-lived: a botched operation saw a good chunk of Jacke's team dead and Luna tempered by the primal Leviathan. Though the Company of Heroes managed to subdue it again, Jacke found his entire world turn dark - without Luna by his side, he was alone and helpless. While he kept searching frantically for a way to reverse the effects of tempering, Jacke had Luna put to a deep slumber and hidden away, where no one except he and his father knew.And helpless he was for the next few years until the aftermath of the Seventh Umbral Calamity. Though he was still struggling to live with being by himself, he found a small, renewed resolve - he would continue to find a cure for the tempering and bring his twin back. Coincidentally, in his search to finding the cure, his path seems to follow in the wake of the Warrior of Light.Fate saw fit to cross their paths one day when he overheard the Scions discussing about their success in freeing a young kobold from his tempering. Without hesitation, Jacke approached them and begged for their help in saving Luna. In gratitude, he agreed to join the Scions - and from then on Jacke became a valuable companion and ally of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.Now, after ending the song of oblivion and seeing peace restored to the world, the Warrior of Light had stepped down, but not before entrusting his legacy - and the crystal of the Traveler - to Jacke. His purpose fulfilled, Jacke now travels the breadth of the realm together Luna - just as they once did not very long ago.

Dear Crystal, I have devoted all my soul for you, and the eons you've spent threading fates together so the rivers of time converge. But you are weary, and so am I; lifetime after lifetime, you mourn for me, and i lament my failures. and thus do I make this vow; let this be my last song, and let it be our song of victory.

A Realm Reborn In the five-year gap between the Seventh Umbral Calamity and events following A Realm Reborn, a young Jacke is travelling and trying to find a cure for tempering, to no avail. He can be found perusing the libraries of the Arzaneth Ossuary, the Arcanists' Guild or consulting the conjurers of Gridania. More often than not, he can also be found in taverns, hoping to hear rumors or information about anything that might bring him closer to the end of his search.Jacke travels alone. Loss of one too many loved ones and also some part of his dignity and pride made him averse to companions. He still maintains some communication with his former comrades of the Company of Heroes, asking them for help to find anything, anything at all, about primal thralls and how to reverse it without killing anyone. It was during this time he heard of an adventurer "from the sands of Thanalan" making a name for himself and accomplishing great feats under the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, but he thought nothing of it back then, singular in his goal as he was.

Heavensward Upon hearing that deep in the Dravanian Hinterlands lies an abandoned library once belonging to the Sharlayan colony, Jacke took to Ishgard the moment he heard that its gates were open again now that it had entered into the Eorzean Alliance once again. The Great Gubal Library was a dangerous place teeming with voidsent and one was not to venture into it alone. It was here that he met Sidurgu, and he petitioned for the dark knight's aid in accompanying him to the Library, and Jacke later asked Sidurgu to teach him the ways of the dark knight. Though the two of them did not see eye to eye at first and were constantly arguing, Jacke found himself enjoying Sidurgu's company more and more, and grew to be quite fond of Rielle.While the Library did not have the information he needed, Jacke had grown quite fond of Ishgard - a city of snow and steel, its doors closed to most for many years, a heart frozen by a thousand years of war and bloodshed now beginning to melt in the warmth of steadfast allies and great change. He purchased a suite in the Pillars when he was able, and ever since then the small two-storey penthouse had become his home.Bennett Industries had expressed interest in forming a partnership with the High Houses, and thus Jacke had been asked to help with forming agreements and attending social events that could bolster their relationship together. He hated these events, but it did afford him a chance to have a fantastic ongoing friendship with House Fortemps, and with it stories of how the Warrior of Light ended the Dragonsong War and brought change to Isghard.

Stormblood His search now takes him to the further reaches of the realm. Upon hearing from his relatives about the kami of the East - and how, even with scores of people worshipping them, none have ever manifested into a primal - Jacke's interest took him to Kugane and Doma, where he learned much of geomancy and the kami... but not the information he needed to reverse the effects of tempering. His father Mauricio was the one accompanying him this time, and in the course of that journey the shrewd elderly Xaela managed to strike a profitable business relationship with the local blacksmiths, and the both of them even took the time to stop by at the Azim Steppe for Mauricio to trace back his father's heritage. Here, Jacke found that he was related to Magnai, and on the insistence of the elders overjoyed to see Erden and Jebke's blood reunited again, the Oronir held a feast to celebrate the two of them. Jacke and Magnai, however, weren't too happy about this revelation, but before Mauricio and the tribe, they promised to visit more often and foster better relations with each other's families.Safely returned to Eorzea after, Sidurgu requested a private conversation with Jacke. He meant to give a dark knight's soul stone to Jacke much sooner, but creating one wasn't easy, and he only managed to get one created when Jacke was already away from Eorzea.No sooner did the soul stone rest on Jacke's palm, however, did it break into two. And no sooner did that happen did a mysterious child that called themself "Myste" appear, apologizing profusely for causing it to break. Promising they would find a way to fix it, they bade that Jacke follow them and grant succor and comfort to anyone in need. While Jacke was wary, he felt a sense of loss in Myste that he could empathize with deeply, and so he agreed. (The Dark Knight quests from level 60-70 proceeds as in game from here.)

Endwalker Awakened to his true purpose, Jacke fulfilled his duty as the guardian to the end, silencing the song of oblivion alongside the Warrior of Light. Thinking that his work was over, Jacke decided to slink into relative obscurity...except the Warrior of Light decided to relinquish his title and duty, choosing instead to entrust the crystal of the Traveler to Jacke.Jacke had his adventures - a reunion with a dear friend from another lifetime, the journey into the Thirteenth, meeting and saying goodbye to the Twelve who were once old friends... Jacke grew comfortable with his new position, and eagerly awaits brand new adventures on the horizon, traversing the world with his twin Luna, and returning home to Sidurgu often to welcome a new family and a new addition...(Jacke was mostly on the Source during Shadowbringers, so I decided not to include Shadowbringers in this timeline)

Adventurer by trade! The basics of Jacke's story in this verse remains the same: lost his twin temporarily due to primal tempering, searched long and hard for a way to cure him - except he's simply an ordinary person. No Echo, no connection to the Scions, nothing. Only thing he has going for him is connections with nobles across Eorzea simply due to him being the heir of Bennett Industries. Whether you are looking for pleasure, a bodyguard, or just someone to adventure with, Jacke's only too happy to assist for the right price - information on how to cure someone from a primal's thrall.Highly recommend going with this verse if you're not comfortable with roleplaying using his main lore.

Hook #1: Pirate origins The Bennett family, like a good majority of noble high society families in Limsa Lominsa, have "less than honorable" (honor is an arbitrary quality in Limsa Lominsa) origins. Once, Jacke's grandfather was the proud captain of the Black Crystal, who commanded the only pirate crew that had successfully claimed the 'untameable' Sirensong Sea as its territory. Because of this, they were quite feared by the seas both East and West - between the war cries of the fearsome "Yols" and the turbulent nature of the sea, few could challenge them, as they've already learned to navigate its wild waters and would catch both rival pirate from Vylbrand and civilian ship off-guard.But even legendary pirates must bow down - if not by a bullet, then by the passage of time. Jacke's grandfather knew when it was time to hang up his sword, and with the recommendation of his old friend Mistbeard, he docked his ship for the last time in the shores of Limsa Lominsa. In its wake, he formed a company of artisans, for his crew weren't simply pirates - they had been personally coached to also forge their own weapons, clothes and armor from the ship graveyard of their haunted home.Officially it was only stated that Bennett Industries had its origins 'as reformed pirates establishing a respectable trade'. But those who have a keen interest in the history of Limsa Lominsa, or piracy, or both, know from whose ashes the multinational company rose from. When one next meets Jacke, whether in a tavern or in a ballroom, they could ask him, and he would be happy to tell them the fantastic story of his family's origins.

(NSFW) Siren's Song They say the resident singer and entertainer of the Stellar Songbird - Limsa Lominsa's premier bar and lounge - was a man that can charm the hearts and minds of people simply through the husky sound of his song. "The Siren", they called him, and many who were captivated with him were also captivated by the sway of his hips, the swishing of his tail, the contour of his physique... and those cold, cold blue eyes.The songbird sings, but he can do so much more for the right price. They say, however, the songbird in a cage is the lost child of a noble family. That he no longer remembers them or how he came to work here. They only know the suave, seductive man in blue is known as "Jacke Frost".

Hook #2: Not suited for the high society life Jacke is more commonly found in a quiet corner in a tavern, pub or cafe somewhere than in some gilded ballroom - and the reason was that being in such bright places, with too many people that he's expected to behave a certain way in front of - in other words, people he must put a mask on for - overwhelms him to the point that he would simply abscond from a gilded invitation to hide in a tavern where he can be himself. Typically with a book at hand, or his own notebook and quill, one could find him simply enjoying the peace and relative anonymity of his surroundings - if anyone knew him, they wouldn't ask.You may ask him anything - about his life, why he was there and not in that exclusive party (if you recognize a Bennett anywhere)...or even ask for his companionship in bed for the night, if the conditions are right.Hook #3: International relations Bennett Industries is in partnership with Ishinomori Jewelers - a goldsmithing company in Kugane specializing in the crafting of decorative and magically-conducive jewelry, amulets, charms and trinkets of the highest quality and catering to both commoner and noble alike with reasonable prices. The Ishinomori clan is well-known and well-connected in Kugane, with members in almost every facet of its socioeconomic hierarchy, from offices in the bugyo to the Sekiseigumi.By way of marriage between a member of the Bennett family & the Ishinomori family, Jacke has strong personal connections to the clan.
