+Observed behaviour//
Momochi is what could be described as an unstoppable force. His intense curiousity feeds into his kind and headstrong nature. Easily impressed and pliant. Like his mother before him, the boy seeks companionship and knowledge. Unfortunately his unwise ways land him all sorts of situations but he comes out on top with contagious optimism and a bright smile.+Physical description //
Despite his origins Momo looks like any Lalafellan child yet possesses a stature that puts him below most. His frame is petite and thin for his race. The only tell of his unnatural origin are his irregular eyes; made of minute components their lens are quite reflective, emitting a dim light visible in dark condition. Blond synthetic hair tops his head, unkempt and poorly maintained between the times the adults in his life intervene with it's upkeep.

01_It began with a loving mother…
The calamity wrought ruin for a great many and of this cruel fate a young alchemist, and mother, was not spared. Professor Ohta, having journeyed to Eorzea to further her studies found the new life she was building came to an abrupt halt as wildlife grew fierce, attacking those on her foray.With an ilm of her life she retreated unscathed but in the panic of it all she found her young son had not been so fortunate. It was then the once proud and jolly woman noticeably changed, the seeds of madness taking root. Where one would halt and mourn she would be driven forward, denying the cards she was dealt.“I will bring him back, it can be done.” Guided by morbid fascination and blinded by grief the professor spiraled within an all consuming despair.

02_It ends with a son reborn…
Ohta's desperation leaked into her work, every finding among her studies culminated to the one purpose alone; to reclaim what was lost, to bring her child back amongst the living by whatever means.A hypothesis was formed around her specialized skills. A thought of plucking a soul from the beyond and giving it a host, whether it be flesh or fashioned into a mammet. Years of trials and tribulations would see her ambitions fulfilled, assisted by her understudy they would bring the young boy back.At first Ohta had believed to be rewarded for her genius but something was awry with her creation near immediately. Its eyes remained dull, even as she held it close the mechanical boy did not recognize its own mother; devoid of the spark of life she so desperately sought.In the deepest reaches of her heart she could only ask then, what did she bring into this world?

Design documents mention manipulating a soul along with a mammet heart.

03_It continues with a wayward child…
The quandary would haunt her throughout the next few years when a sudden illness overtook the mad woman. Her new mechanical son remained by her side as she spent the last of her days perfecting his body and mind until it was near indistinguishable to a real child.
She cherished the mammet likened to her very blood and in return the boy cared for her until illness finally claimed her.Momochi was left alone that day, orphaned and woefully ill-prepared for the world. Soon Ohta’s assistant found the experiment gone from his post, having snuck off into the wider world lured by curiosity and innate childish wonder.To this day he wanders, blending in with the general populace as just another boy.

Adventure buddy
After his mothers passing Momochi swore to deepen his knowledge on healing magicks and medicine to prevent others from suffering her same fate.
Thus is he always up for an adventure; happily accompanying forays in search of grand discoveries with the added benefit of attaining practice on the field.

Mechanics and researchers needed
Without his creator the boy is simply left to his own devices. Without aid he will eventually grow faultier and cease to function. He lacks the knowledge of his inner workings yet his complex workings would pique interest of the mechanically inclined.

It’s a whole new world out there
The world is completely new to Momo. Having been locked in his mother's lab his entire life he lacks lived experience. Due to his, the lalafell is at mercy to the greater world. (Ontop of struggling to fit in with organics.) He will need a guiding hand; whether through positive or negative influence. He has much of life to learn and experience.

Unstoppable ball of sunshine
Need a stark contrast to your brooding character? A happy-go-lucky friend for wholesome fun and sweet moments? Momo is very bubbly and friendly; curious and eager to follow others. He seeks the silver lining in every situation while acting first and thinking later.

Himari Ohta
_{Adoptive Mother | Deceased}
_{Hyur - 42- Hingan}

The late Ohta was an eccentric genius who left no stone unturned in her study of automata and forgekin.
Spending equal parts of her life in both sharlayan and hingashi she has had plenty of her own adventures.Momochi was her pride and joy as the only remnant of her best friend, and professional partner, Momomi, before she passed shortly after childbirth.
Himari loved and adored her child and apprentice right until her very last day.

Ayeka Aeisi
_Friend _Sister
_{Veena, Viera - 25- Ishgardian}

Despite only being an apprentice to his mother, Ayeka is more akin to a sister to Momochi, even calling the vieran woman as such at any given chance. Momo has known her since birth and is thus close and clingy toward her.Excitable and studious, Ayeka dedicates much of her time into furthering knowledge in her various fields of study but to Momo she's the one he cries to when he gets a booboo or needs a hug.

Neriah Favette
_Friend
_{Veena, Viera - 27- Ishgardian}

Momochi met Neriah during his travels, exchanging tales of adventure as well as offering bits and bobs he thought might fit her collection. (Though his offerings are mostly junk, like impressive yet ultimately worthless rocks.)The boy is overly enthusiastic in her presence and believes her to be the epitome of elegance and beauty; eager to learn and grow to be just as lovely and kind as she is one day.
He has a ways to go until he's as graceful as his role model, however...

>>//ooc _ and _ rules

Standard rp etiquette applies.
ic≠ooc, no godmodding etc. If you have any qualms or questions on whether you can write an action feel free to ask.Dni
I wont write with bigots or people who sexualize lalas.Lore bending is fine
After Endwalker it is proven that all walks of life exist in-game. If you can justify your character one way or another then that's cool and I'm down to interact.

Rp length
I usually try to match my partners length/style however my preference is basically anything but one-liners. Exceptions are made if it's a very casual and quick setting in-game. I tend to write semi-para to multi-para.Topics
I am 18+ but will have nothing to do with erp/sexual interactions, though some serious topics are fine to an extent. Momo's past isn't the happiest and his travels will have tribulations. However he is naïve and will act it. I just ask those I interact with to keep that in mind.

Heyo, I'm Luc!I am a friendly, albeit shy, soul but not intimidating in the least.Don't worry about ever bothering me. If I'm online and you wanna say Hello or ask a question/plot ooc feel free to do so! I'll only be unsocial when I am set to busy.All art here is drawn by myself unless stated otherwise.
