P E R S O N A L I T Y

Charismatic, Honest, Paranoid, Lonely, Encouraging, Emotional

Information Broker, Acquirer of Rare Goods (and services, if the price is good enough) Working originally, and primarily, out of Coerthas - with fingers prying into many of the citystates...and a little beyond, if you are looking for something of a more troublesome quality to obtain for the right price and if paid for in a timely manner, Alaire is more than willing to lend a hand. It hardly matters who or what you are...with, of course, a few exceptions.

Alaire is a social creature, craving and seeking out the company of others even if it might simply be in some rank hole of a tavern or speaking with less than reputible folks on the street. He seems drawn by simply a necessity to interact, questioning others constantly on their own and themselves.While at first glance the well spoken man might come across and level headed and well put together, he is a deep tangle of emotions with a temper to match. The overly (but likely reasonablly) paranoid man is often good at holding back the extent of which these emotions, both good and bad, lay, but that mask is quick to fall under certain circumstances.

L I K E S ■ Gold, Gems, etc. -- Not necessarily 'gil' but any real type of riches. Gold and gems, shiny twisted bits of metal or shards of crystal which might not even have real value are treasured to him. ■ Social Situations/Meeting People. -- Alaire is a social creature, enjoying situations which allow him to interact and spend time with people he both might not know and those he's already acquainted with. . ■ Song/Music. -- Humming incessantly beneath his breath, some song playing out in his own mind, the music of others is very enjoyable to him infrequent as he finds it. ■ Drinking. -- Preferring harder liquor, he isn't often seen eating but a mug or glass will usually be found in his hand when out. ■ Cards. -- Games of chance are of no interest to the man, though when you mix a factor of skill and uncertainty something about that sparks his interest. A hand of cards, whether there are stakes at pay or not will draw his eye. ■ Fine Clothing/Jewlery. -- He dresses well, adorning himself in clothing both of good make and which is sturdy enough that he is able to travel wearing it. The bits of metal and golden, guilded pieces strung about his person, though, aren't quite so practical. ■ 'Sarcasm and banter. -- Overly sweet or careful conversation can be quite dull, and a spark of defiance in speaking companion is absolutely wonderful (even if the other person might be crude or outright rude). ■ Magi-teck. -- The technology is greatly interesting, having been a passion of his for many years though he is reluctant to bring the topic up with many... ■ Ambition in Others. -- It doesn't matter if they have the ability or training or upbringing, the simple spark is something he finds an honourable trait. Often he will try best he can to aid simply because of ambitious speech and thought in others.

D I S L I K E S ■ Lying/Broken Promises. -- Keeping a Promise for this man is an absolute. He finds lying to him, contracts broken and promises shattered to be something morally reprehensible and takes it very personally. ■ Ishgardians. -- The conversation turns darker the moment they are brought up. His demeanor is decidedly different around those of Ishgardian descent - snide and condescending, oftentimes outright antagonistic. ■ Zealots.-- While he desires and praises ambition and opinions, zealots seem to spark a similar feeling as those of Norther descent. His control tends to slip around them. ■ Surprises/Unexpected Results. -- Having no say in the outcome and loss of control is difficult for the man. Chance and uncertainty spark the paranoia that he holds just below the surface of his person at all times. ■ His Problem/Weakness with Aether. -- Only speaking about it in the vaguest terms when someone else brings it up first, finding out about it usually because of their skills as a monk or within healing arts, he is deeply ashamed of the problem, referring to it simply as a "Sickness". ■ Haughty People. ■ The Shroud. -- Not only does this area of Eorzea cause him discomfort to be within, but memories surrounding the place are in no way pleasant and still hang heavy in the front of his mind. ■ Talk about scars. -- If simply in passing conversation he will brush it off, but when the topic is dwelled on he seems uncomfortable.

H A B I T S  &  S K I L L S Quirks/Vices ■ Humming/Singing beneath his breath. -- A constant hum, soft and almost tuneless song plays out beneath his breath. It changes and rises in volume, dipping and changing even as he lives his life, but never truly vanishing. Infrequently the soft hum will rise further, usually only in solitude or when he's distracted, to song. ■ Skipping Meals. -- While he orders food most of the time when meeting with others, it's scarce to see him eat more than a few bites from the plate. He usually just nurses a couple mugs throughout the night, many times offering the food to others. ■ Toying with Jewelry. -- Fingers adorned with rings of metal and bands crested with gems play against strands of gold and dangling bits of gold as if having a mind of their own. When out of sight, he will often play with unworn pieces in the pockets of his coat, tracing the engraved metal carefully and repeatedly. ■ Emotional. -- While it may not seem it at first, the man is very much driven by his emotions. ■ Paranoid/Overly Private. ■ Drumming his Fingers. -- When his fingers are free of any bit of cloth or jewelery, he taps in time with the soft hum beneath his breath. Abilities/Skills ■ Capable with a Bow and Rifle. -- He is a skilled hunter, good marksman even from a great distance. While he might be easily bested with a sword from a distance he is deadly. ■ Negotiator / Good at making Deals & Contracts. ■ Incredibly Good Memory. -- He does not forget. Good or bad, he holds people accountable and holds them to their promises. ■ Knowledgeable about Magitek. -- While he has no love for Garleans, he has a great deal of their technology and is fascinated by it. Many of the requested items of technological origin he obtains for customers and business associates are carefully inspected with small fixes by him.

■ Spirituality/Religion. Dragons. In a sense.

■ Politics. Is it anti-Ishgard and allow him to get his goods across boarders with ease? If so he's likely very in favour of the political arrangement. In truth it's likely more complicated than that but not a great deal more - he doesn't get involved deeply with politics beyond a vague affiliation with the Flames - and his desire for this is purely monetary in nature, of course, and not very involved.

A P P E A R A N C E

Text Summary: Noodle (I'll do this at a later time)

■ Body: Very tall, even for an elezen, the man stands a good head above most and lean, though muscular all the same with a good deal of strength in his arms and upper body. ■ Skin: Dark, dusky brown skin makes it quite apparent he is a Duskwight. Marked all across his face and shoulders, though, are blotched flecks of even darker pigment, splashes of reddish freckles which dust over nose and cheeks and all across his chest. ■ Hair:Dark auburn with lines of deeper reds and black mixed along, an odd mix against his skin. His hair is well kept, with an apparent softness to it -- cropped in the back as though simply sheared off quickly and looking more like lambs fluff where it sticks out in every direction. It's as though if longer, his hair might curl. ■ Eyes: Vibrant, saturated amber.

■ Clothes: He tends to favour fine clothing, well made leather and material which hangs across his frame comfortably but with enough strength to it that the material will hold up well in a fight. Gilded metals are often found as buttons or other additions to the clothing, as are motifs of scales. ■ Jewelry: The man adores jewlery, usually wearing an abundance of metal across his fingers and hands, bands of silver and gold with gems inlaid so they shine. Frequently he will wear similar things around his neck, large medallions hanging there, though he is far less gaudy in the way of piercings and has nothing more than a single pair in his ears. ■ Distinguishing Features: A large scar runs across his right eye, huge gash that has been healed for many years but has pulled at flesh from whatever cruel wound made it. Often hidden behind hair without much thought or simply not spoken of even when referred to, the injury doesn't appear to have caused damage to the man's sight though how that was possible with the lid to his eye slashed through remains a mystery. ■ Other: nails are well-kept, manicured even despite the fact the he seems to put very little effort into almost any other feature of his person - hair hardly ever taken care of beyond well-washed and clothing (while of very fine quality and design) in a state of either disarray, very often being torn if not bought new. He seems to be content with buying new clothing quite often, with the exception of jackets which go through many repairs.

. ✖ P L A Y E R   I N F O ✖ ❇ I'm a Heavy Roleplayer in Eastern-Standard Timezone (EST). I usually RP in public channels, though often move to private means (/whisper, /party) for certain elements of rp and if the RP itself I find might make anyone around me uncomfortable. I also will very frequently Roleplay on Skype and enjoy keeping up long-term active exchanges there. ❇ For Combat in Roleplay:: I love using roll-of-the-dice, (usually relying more on a d20 out of game/via an online roller, though /random has also been good to me) along with a realistic idea of how things might work out concerning rolls/random chance with the characters skills and abilities. Basically random chance I find adds a wonderful element to combat rp, but there's always the realism to consider. I adore combat in rp (whether I win or lose or the outcome isn't exactly certain) finding that the tension it adds as well as the random nature of a lot of it can aid in creating new and interesting factors for characters! ❇ Concerning Romance RP:: I'm not completely opposed to romantic based rp and occasionally enjoy it, but I don't make any real point actively seeking out rp of that nature - dating icly, looking for a relationship icly, etc. My main focus will at no point ever be simply the romantic element. If the plot heads in a direction where characters might have feelings for each other I'm not against this type of thing but I've had some very ~dramatic~ experiences in the past with this type of RP. ❇ There MUST be a clear separation between IC and OOC when rping. Insults, flirting, violence or talking about characters isn't meant to be personal (ooc). What happens in roleplay it's usually best stays there. ❇ My Other Main Characters are Bastian Rook & Ziv'ir Ashal. I have a handful of alts as well!

. ✚O O C RP    N O T E S✚ Unless otherwise stated, all information below is OOC knowledge. Some of these things might be good for possible RP hooks, though, and if you would like to set something up in advance with characters - or have some Prior character connection due to anything with the character just let me know! ■ If your character deals in hard to find goods/services, whether you're currently doing any work with the 'blackmarket' or not, he's always looking for new opportunities and will often times jump at seriously odd proposals. If you're just looking for employment icly he almost always has work to be done (and pays very well, though there's usually risk). He can be found in Ul'dah or Coerthas. ■ If you're from Coerthas (specifically Western Coerthas, further from the outposts) he currently lives there and has been around the area for the last twenty years or so. Characters who have also been in the area for a long period of time could very easily have known him from before, known his Mother or have heard about him from someone else. ■ Anyone who is associated with Ishgard, while you might not see the nicest side of him he's very likely to be quite vocal around you. That said, if you play someone high ranking or an Inquisitor things could get fun. He is not wanted, though it is possible someone high ranking and from an area he's lived in might know who he is. ■ Any character that deals heavily in magiteck- specifically some of the more hard to find items - might come across him or know him from his trade of parts - or simply him out and about trying to find various odds and ends himself. ■ When stuck in the Shroud for too long, he has been known to get somewhat ill - faster than he normally would. Because of this, anyone in the area may/may have come across him while he was trying to do work/finish a bargain and stayed there a bit too long. ■ Are you a merchant who sells anything shiny? Gold or Gems or Crystals? He'll likely stop dead in his tracks to look over your goods and might end up finding something he needs to add to his little hoard. Anyone with Aetheric senses would notice something very wrong about his aether - along with the fact that it seems to be constantly slipping away. ■ Those with connections to the Lominsan more unsavory side maybe have known him from a number of years ago, though the past half a decade he has kept far from the City. He is still well enough respected for his skills, though he is black listed by a few prominent people. ■ Frequently wandering around various more desolate areas (ruins, wreckages, caverns) in search of particular items, you can sometimes come across him in somewhere really out of the way and unexpected. Does your character ■ While he might have a very good reputation with The Immortal Flames and know a number of Officers, he often will be shipping and receiving goods under the wrong label - often even using official flames insignias in certain cases. If you play a nosy character with associations with the Flames you might end up stumbling into something unexpected if you start poking around. ■ Is your character a Heritic or Dravanian? Let's talk...

RP HARD LIMITS

If any issues within rp (something my character does is uncomfortable to you, you have an issue with how an action or situation takes place, etc.) just let me know OOCly. Please don't make veiled comments hoping I will catch on. I won't, I can promise that much (I'm really dumb and dense and subtle stuff like that isn't my forte). If the situation is reversed, I will simply say something pretty fast - don't like to let things fester. That all said standard hard-limit no-no stuff and things I love are:

■ Do: --- Pretty much any Mature Content, Dark or Serious Themes (violence, serious torture, murder, drug/alcohol use, etc.), as well as lighter encounters and interactions. Plot and Character-Driven rp , long-term plots and . Please expect coarse language from a number of my characters. Temporary injury (mind/body), captivity, imprisonment and any types of attacks are a-okay. Romantic and sexual tension are fantastic but please talk to me about anything other than just tension no random tells fishing for erp...that just comes off as awkward and creepy.

■ Ask: --- Disfigurement, mutilation, crippling or permanently injuring characters. I don't necessarily need to know long-term in advance for these things, but don't inflict anything on my characters without talking to me at least please. Anything that might cause a longer-term character-changing issues which might reflect heavily on other roleplay I'm in I want a general heads-up/discussion. Long term captivity (aka, longer than a month or so icly) should be talked out and usually have some reason for happening (since it's basically putting the character out of commission for a good while).

■ Don't: --- Basically my hard-line is permanent character death without any extensive discussion of this and heavily plot-driven reason for this. RP where character must be connected at the hip to one of my character constantly. "Sexy Torture" for the sake of being sexy is also a huge no. Just no.
If the content of the rp is 18+ I expect you to be 18+
