About
Ina has the blood of innocence on her hands and although there is no way to fix the past, she is determined to make amends through her actions going forward. The Memory Thief has gone back to what she does best, recording and remembering the lessons of the past to pass along to future generations. As the only known member of Anamnesis Anyder left (though there are no doubt others out there) she has vowed to record the lives of those Ancients who gift her with their memories (or the ones she sometimes steals.) Music, dances, politics, philosophy, and everything in between is being written down in her vast logs hidden in the Watcher’s Tower, but her records hold secrets and knowledge that she dare not unleash to the world.Her life isn’t all about the past, currently Inanna is preparing for a trip to the New World with her faithful friends and found family. Though the call of adventure may be enough for some, for Inanna there is a set goal in mind. The Ancient is tied to the forces that caused the Final Days, the terror of which still haunts her. She knows no one person can guide the destructive forces out at the edge of the known universe and hopes that on her journey she can find others like her and together, they can keep the song of oblivion at bay or, change the song altogether.But old habits die hard and the call to rejoin the shards of Eorzea to their former glory is never far from her mind…..

Additional Information
Thanks for dropping by!Discord: SparrowBee#9864In Game: Inanna Kaizen (chillin on Crystal)Post length: I come from a writing background, so paragraph rp is my thing. It might take me a moment to respond to you, but I will! I also love to rp on Discord as well.Themes: character development, angst, mature, violence, long term, slice of life, Ascian, Unsundered, horror, politics, and open to additional ideas/concepts
I only RP with people 21+.Because of the nature of Inanna, dark rp tends to happen, but there are limits to how dark it gets. If you want something dark, you must discuss it with me OOC first. Dark rp needs set up and time to develop and if you're not willing to put the time in, neither am I.I do not rp underage relationships, rape, or perma-death.
Injuries must be discussed OOC.Lalas are sweet but I don't do romance/slow burn/erp with them, sorry.
The White City
Have your dreams been haunted by a vast white city with spires that stretch to the heavens? Inanna might become curious about your dreams, but be careful. Those who trust her to reveal the truth are never the same. If they survive, that is.
Ascian, Ancient, Unsundered
She might say she is an Ascian and can fool most her kind, but a keen eye will see she is rejoined. How she did it and who else she might have rejoined is a mystery.Others may remember her as the slumbering tool of Pashtarot, a dangerous creature best kept caged. She has been missing for centuries and you stumbled into her path. Will she be the torturer of myth, or was her reputation nothing more than gossip? Only one way to find out.For the Unsundered there are probably going to be a lot of questions for the runaway. Not only how she could hide from them, but how she could rejoin herself, alone.What are you planning to do now that Zodiark is dead and gone? Inanna is a curious creature. Tell her your plans and she might want to assist.
Emotional Sways
Inanna's newfound connection to dynamis is untamed and still growing. Maybe you notice a sudden and overwhelming need to lash out at a stranger, or a sudden concern that there are too many eyes looking your way. Maybe you notice the strange behavior in yourself, or, if observant, you see it in others.
Other
Glowing platinum eyes are hard to ignore. Maybe you spot her at a tavern, in between stacks of books, or fighting in the dark. Do her moonlight eyes entice you closer?She is a reaper through and through, but others familiar with the art might notice something off about her voidsent. Do you dare inquire what it whispers to her?
Before the Sundering
Ishtar was a brilliant youth who showed immense promise for memory restoration and conservation. She could often be found deep within Anamnesis Anyder where she studied with some of the most brilliant minds in Amaurot as they recorded memories. If not actively engaging in conservation, Ishtar would be attending lectures which often resulted in arguments between her and her fellow researchers.Ishtar was on the radar of the Elders of Anamnesis and hoped that with the right mentorship and training that she could one day join their ranks. There were concerns about the young researcher however, Ishtar was combative and quick to verbally challenge anyone including her superiors. Her search for knowledge was so encompassing that she was often cruel to subjects, forcing them to endure unethical levels of pain and discomfort in an effort to obtain the results she looked for.Her thirst for knowledge and immense curiosity often blinded her to the potential repercussions of her actions and she often saw rules as nothing more than roadblocks to bypass on her journey of innovation.As the end drew near, Ishtar worked on devising a way to enact her theory of memory harvesting in secret, but without a test subject, she could not prove if her theory was correct. As the world burned and crashed around her, Ishtar used her last moments to prepare a way to collect her own memories from the lifestream at the moment of her death, preserving them within the depths of Anamnesis
Ascian
Pashtarot would later remark that bringing Ishtar back was a mistake. Now known as Inanna, the Ascian with eerie platinum eyes was full of nothing but rage and malice. Unbeknownst to the other Ascians and Unsundered alike, Inanna's personality had fractured with her memories, leaving nothing but a obsessive mind full of venom.Pashtarot kept Inanna asleep, letting her dream in the Rift, only awakening her to interrogate an unfortunate soul who tried to hide information that Pashtarot believed could assist with his latest scheme. She would sleep and awaken to torture out information for centuries, never sure if she was asleep for mere moments or decades.Inanna would often have dreams of Anamnesis but without all her memories rejoined, the importance of this location was lost to her. Luckily, she was tasked to work with Mitron on the First and eventually found the location of her dreams. It would be there that she would regain her memories and become restored, but at a price.With her newfound knowledge came paranoia about others discovering the methods of how she rejoined herself. Inanna used the calamity on the First to disappear, choosing a life of solitude now that she was rejoined. She would continue her research, focusing on rejoining others with their lost memories, hoping that her methods proved more successful than those made by the Unsundered and the Ascians.However, to do this, she had to make a bargain with an entity she refers to as her shadow. This creature may appear to be nothing more than a voidsent bound to a reaper, but those who know what to look for would realize there was something very wrong about this creature. From glowing blue eyes burning like flames under its cowl, high intelligence, and ability to talk to his reaper companion, it's clear there is more to this duo than meets the eye.
