Worth

• the measure of a man •

art by fawksess

First inspection of Worth Taggin would show a roughly average tidesage, robed and cowled, standing on the sidelines or performing his duties. Scrolled shoulders give glimpses of inscriptions, prayers, and tidal maps indicating a wavespeaker. Upon his rope belt, an Abyssal Beacon is tied with a cord, the lantern usually unlit until in use. Near it a Dead Ringer dangles on its own cord, giving faintly muffled clinks. On the other side a sheathed sword seems almost incongruous to the tidesage's mild demeanor, as the hilt indicates that it's the blade of a naval officer rather than an instrument of elemental force.Underneath the hood is a meek and worried face, somewhere in his thirties with a curved nose and expressive brown eyes. Dark, curling hair holds premature greying streaks at the temples, and a finely-groomed mustache rests above what can be a goatee or very fine beard depending on his mood. Worth's face is as open as the sky, lighting up or changing instantly as he reacts with his typical blend of concern and enthusiasm.Being a late bloomer or shy scholar would not stop Worth from finding adventure and wonder on the horizon. He's been dumped into adventures from horrific to noteworthy, exploring corruption and morality along with themes of inheritance and power. Nor has he been alone on these quests.Ultimately, Worth only wants to be a normal man, secure in his work and in control of himself. He wishes to show proper respect to the seas that grant him the ability to move them, and to live up to the expectations of those he cares about.

Writing

• the mind behind the muse •

I've been writing creatively for as long as I can remember, and have a long love for creating characters and storylines. When I write, I like to tie in themes and motifs, pulling from the past to help a character define or overcome important moments. All of the moments in a story are meaningful to me, from high-stakes action to quiet rest.I don't have a favorite type of plot and can explore all types, including horror and romance, but my writing does tend to be mature as it involves adult topics and mindsets.

Fellow Tidesages, Current, Former, or Renegade
Any brethren of the Tidemother is welcome to speak with Worth, no matter how they choose to follow the call. Perhaps they recognize him from the Shrine of the Storm or out on duty.Kul Tiran Background
Kul Tirans and those who've been there know a tidesage when they see one, and this is absolutely your average tidesage. He's available for blessings, ceremonies, and short outings. Fellow islanders are welcome.Shamanism and Elemental-Inclined
The energy of the sea flows freely around Worth, who always keeps one ear out for the whispers of the water. Those who can hear the elements will find a fellow comrade. He's found kindred with shamans in the past.Void-Aligned
Worth is a known associate of his sister, Faygia Taggin, who is a cultist of N'zoth. How much of that has bled between the siblings is unknown, though any Void-users might have an interesting encounter.

Out of Character

• underneath the surface •

I like to play a wide variety of characters though Worth is my main one.
He's got a lot of development and backstory; feel free to do some digging!As a neurodivergent and queer person, I like to look for other people with similar outlooks to write alongside. I'm fine with anything from short-term to long-term roleplaying, and I prefer short paragraphs to multi-paragraph work though I'm flexible. Whenever I write with someone, I expect and offer clear communication, consideration, and boundaries to ensure there aren't any hard feelings. We're crafting a story together, so let's be kind to each other.
