The Karakuri Estate

For Any Body and Every Body.


Welcome to the Karakuri Estate, a puppeteer's atelier for Final Fantasy 14 on the RP Server Mateus. We specialise in creating complex, self-propelled automata for entertainment, protection, domestic use and more. By appointment only.

Your Puppeteer

She answers to Myria, or Ruby, or simply 'hello.' She speaks softly, walks quietly, and always has a steaming pot of tea on hand for her customers. Her manner is direct and to the point, her discretion absolute. Answer her questions honestly, be kind to her puppets, and she will build you anybody, any body, you desire.Gender: Female.Sexuality: Selective.Aether: Like that of an object. She doesn't seem bothered by it.Favourite Tea: Plum.Smells Of: Cold water and sweet smoke.Eats: Occassionally.Blind: And yet, she's watching you. She's been watching you for some time.Some ways your paths could have crossed:- Do you frequent Kugane's theatres? They buy animal puppets and props from her.- Quality puppets require expensive components. Myria is a regular patron of Artisan's Guilds across Eorzea.- If you've taken part in any large-scale trade involving magitec, black-market or otherwise, you may have met her, or a puppet representing her.- Myria is a voracious learner, and travels widely to sate her curiosity. And yet, she always seems to be at her post in her Atelier whenever someone comes to call...- Myria has a large family. Perhaps you've never met the Puppeteer, but someone who looks exactly like her.

Your Puppets

Every Body is looking forward to meeting you. Please note that all prices are for RP purposes only, and that no Gil is required to change hands.

The process of purchasing a Puppet is as follows:1. Client and Proprietor meet for an initial consultation. The Client describes what they want from their Puppet, and your Puppeteer outlines her price and how long the work will take. Negotitation may take place. If both parties agree, a contract is signed between the two. Half the price of the Puppet must be paid in advance.2. Design meetings. Clients will be invited to the Estate multiple times to check on the progress of their Puppet. They may request revisions and extra touches. These may incur extra charges.3. Delivery. The Client will be invited to the Estate one final time to view their Puppet. If it meets with their approval, they may pay their remaining fee and take their Puppet. If not, the Client and your Puppeteer will either negotiate a new Contract to fix the Puppet, or the Puppet will be adopted by the Estate and the Client dismissed without a refund.All purchases come with an ongoing repair service included. Severe damage will incur extra charges.The following models are available for purchase. If you do not see your ideal Puppet below, please consult your Puppeteer for a custom build.

E-Series PuppetsPuppets meant to entertain or assist. These automata are typically small, mammet-like automatons made to carry out rudimentary tasks, or to act as props in theatrical productions. E-Series Puppets can also be fitted with cameras and speakers to act as a recording device for their user, or a heater and a false heartbeat to provide a soothing sensation when hugged. The E-Series also includes various protheses and accessibility aids for those who require them: such Clients enjoy a substantial discount.Price: 80,000 -
90,000 gil.

D-Series PuppetsPuppets designed for use in the home. Your Puppeteer's most popular model can clean, arrange bookshelves, run baths, serve tea, cook over 100 different dishes over three different cuisines, and can be made to look like any humanoid species (horns, miqo'te ears and tails incur an extra fee). The Puppet can understand complex orders and can respond using several pre-programmed phrases.Price: By negotiation.

A-Series PuppetsPuppets made to protect or spar. A-Series Puppets are suited to guarding merchant caravans (Chocobo Appreciation protocol free with every unit) or guarding people. Your Puppeteer also recommends the 'Training Dummy' model: a practice partner who learns from and adapts to the fighting style of its partner, encouraging them to push past their limits. The Estate does not accept commissions to construct soldiers, but will consider especially skilled guardian Puppets on a case-by-case basis.Price: By negotiation.

C-Series PuppetsThese puppets are entirely custom-made to our Client's standards. Normally these models are only available to members of our loyalty program, but exceptions can be made for the right price.Price: By Negotiation.

If you are unable to pay for your Puppet using gil, your Puppeteer can arrange to take alternative payment. Bartering with rare materials, offering up your time as an errand runner or guard or providing your Puppeteer with information are all acceptable alternatives.

Out of Character

Thank you for stopping by and reading about Myria's little puppet shop. If you wish to make an appointment or interact with the shop's proprietor, please feel free to message me or send Myria a letter via in-game mail. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.Notes:- Myria's story involves elements from the Nier Dark Apocalypse storyline. I realise this may not be to everyone's taste, but these elements will only come up if you choose to look for them and will never be volunteered by Myria herself. If you wish to delve into the Nier side of things, let me know. Otherwise, interact with Myria as she appears to be: an eccentric Puppeteer.- My main server is Mateus.- LGBTQIA+ friendly, zero tolerance for hateful and harmful behaviour.- Preference for 21+- Tells and walk-ups okay, but I am quite shy and may not respond immediately.- I love intrigue and tense roleplay, but I also love fluff and slice of life. I respect random silliness, but I can't play it myself.- No violence or character death unless you've cleared it with me first.- Romance with Myria is possible, but I prefer romance between characters to come about organically during roleplay, and Myria does not fall in love easily. I won't be doing anything NSWF without prior discussion.
