Hidden Temple, or just Temple to her friends, is an archaeological scholar and freelance adventuring mage. She seeks to discover and preserve the lost knowledge and arts of ancient civilizations where possible. As an adventurer, she often takes her time exploring whatever ruin or dungeon she finds herself in...much to the chagrin of the rest of her party.Her adventures have taken her all across the world. She was one of the first brave souls to enter the Crystal Tower when it was unearthed, she's spent a great deal of time in Dravania, and she's made several expeditions to the South Seas Islands. In her travels, she's made strong contacts with the Sons of Saint Coinach, the treasure hunters squatting in Idyllshire, and even the gleaners of Sharlayan.Temple is kindhearted, laid back, and occasionally a little mischievous. Sometimes, she can be a little awkward in social situations. Temple can get caught up in her own head sometimes, missing conversations or things happening right in front of her, and she's very bad at pretending to keep up. If she gets really energized about something, it can also be difficult for her to calm down. Nevertheless, she brings a sharp wit, a warm smile, and an infectious laugh to any occasion.
She loves ancient history, especially about lost civilizations.
She's a huge fan of puzzles, riddles, and games.
She has been known to go crazy in the Gold Saucer.
She has a deep curiosity about clockwork trinkets and Magitek devices.
She loves plush toys of cute animals. And cute monsters. Your mileage may vary...
She believes in you!

Hidden Temple
Roleplaying Hooks and Relations
HEROES OF THE REALM - Hidden Temple does not possess the Echo and is not a Warrior of Light. She has definitely heard of the WoL's exploits across the world, and would be thrilled to meet them one day.
ARCHAEOLOGIST - Hidden Temple loves learning about ancient civilizations, and exploring ancient ruins. If she hears about something interesting, she's going to want to check it out for herself, no matter how dangerous it may be.
THE TEMPTATION OF FORBIDDEN MAGICKS - Temple has been squirreling away scraps of magickal lore she finds on her adventures. She's not interested in becoming the most powerful wizard in all the lands, but...I mean...if that grimoire's just sitting there...
MERCENARY FOR HIRE - Despite all of her expeditioning and studying, Temple still makes most of her living as a freelance mercenary. She can be hired as a security escort, or to slay troublesome monsters, or to defend a particular area for a given amount of time.
THE SONS OF SAINT COINACH - When the Crystal Tower rose out of the earth in Mor Dhona, Temple made her way over as soon as she could. She has a good working relationship with this organization.
THE TREASURE HUNTERS OF IDYLLSHIRE - Temple was a little late to the party here, due to the ongoing conflict in Coerthas, but she spent a great deal of time studying Alexander, and shared a lot of her discoveries with Idyllshire.
SHARLAYAN - Since she may or may not have pilfered treasures from the ruins of the Sharlayan colony, Temple is anxious when meeting anyone connected to the Forum. Her work has taken her in proximity to the gleaners on more than one occasion, and she appreciates them, but is still a little wary.
THE CONJURER'S GUILD - Temple has never set foot in the conjurer's guild, but has nevertheless taught herself conjury by studying artifacts she's uncovered over the years. Knowing what she knows about the Hearers and the Elementals, Temple genuinely believes that if she makes herself known within the bounds of Gridania, she will be struck down by wrathful lightning.

Out of Character Information
Temple is played by a cishet man in his mid 30s. He/him.
I'm in the Pacific timezone, and my work schedule can be a little unpredictable, but I'm usually around in the evenings.
I'm more interested in lighter situations than darker themes, but I'm open to discussing any kind of plotline ideas with people, as well.
I love walk-up scenarios and venues, but I'm also interested in putting together a longer, more involved storyline.
I operate with the assumption that each expansion is about a year, and that "present day" is whatever the most recent patch is, but I am very flexible when it comes to the timeline, especially considering many people do RP as their WoL. We can make it work!
If you see me in-game and want to set something up, feel free to send me a tell!
I am not interested in ERP.
FUN FACT! I did not intentionally name my character after the classic 90's Nickelodeon gameshow. I arrived at the name while looking for something appropriately archaeological-sounding, thought "Hidden Temple" had a nice ring to it...and then remembered the show the next day. Every team name on that show is a lore-compliant Hellsguard name, and I like to joke that "Silver Monkey" is a cousin or something.
