Neutral Good - Actively Good General Information A drifter with strong moral convictions, Thilo has dedicated most of his life to make a miserable world more bearable for its people. His outspoken views on fairness and penchant for vigilantism have caused him a measure of trouble, but he regrets nothing he's done in the name of the greater good. ❝ Quote. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Turqoise Mahogany Beige Meso-Endomorph Bass Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Military Gait Ambidextrous Punctures None Business Casual Hair & Eyes His hair and beard tend to be just a little longer than what would normally be considered trimmed, the latter moreso. He often lets his hair grow long enough to tuck it behind his ears and, when it grows any longer than that, he has it shortened again. Consequently, he doesn't visit the barber often, granting his hairstyle a casual aesthetic. Physique & Markings His clavicles are wide and his hips are of medium girth, giving his body a less pronounced V-shape. His limbs and especially his joints are thick, being descended from generations of people more suited to hiking through mountains than running on plains. Hygiene & Attire His hygiene is impeccable, and he becomes silently judgmental of people whose teeth and fingernails appear unkempt. Although his choice in clothing often appears plain and subdued, his clothes are always pressed and clean; even when spending a day alone in an inn room without planning to go out, he still gets fully dressed in the morning. Although he'd never think less of a person who couldn't afford to dress to impress, he most certainly does think negatively of people who don't attempt to at least wash their clothes regularly. Personality Psychological Profile . Voice . Philosophy & Mannerisms He's an anti-Nihilist: he agrees with the Nihilist's view of the world as essentially cruel, petty, and without meaning, but he disagrees with the Nihilist's cynicism. He still believes in heroes, and his reaction to a universe which he views as uncaring is to create his own meaning, find beauty amid ugliness. He doesn't adhere to his moral code because he thinks he can change the world; he adheres to it because he believes in doing what's right even when it's difficult to do so.

I'm a longtime player of D&D, Warhammer, and other tabletop games; I love them, but number-crunching is NOT roleplaying. If you want to roll dice with me, I'm down to do that in another setting. For FFXIV-based RP, let's weave tales, write plausible descriptions, and determine likely outcomes based on plot devices and story structure.

RP Info Location & Probability Places where Thilo is very likely to be seen ■ Vesper Bay: Seasonal Affiliations Most of these aren’t public, and would have to be asked after! ■ Immortal Flames: He's no longer a member, though records of his past service still exist in Ul'dah. IC Inventory The following items are things which Thilo carries on his person at all times. These are noted for pickpockets, and those watching her closely. This information is meant to be a prompt for insight and is not to be meta-gamed, though feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in RP (pickpocketing, a search, etc) with use of a simple /tell. ■ Coinpurse: A simple coin purse made of soft leather, containing a few hundred gil. ■ Map canister: A fine leather cylinder containing various maps relevant to wherever he may be at the time. RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask. ■ I will play moderately violent themes, innuendo, or anything else rated PG-13. ■ Ask about injuries, imprisonment, stranding, substance abuse, or personal insults. ■ I won't play ERP, perma-death, perma-injury, meta-gaming, or god-moding. RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. ■ Carteneau survivors: if your character(s) survived the Battle of Carteneau, then they and Thilo may have helped each other crawl to safety in the aftermath. ■ Wandering heroes: if your character(s) travel wherever the fight for justice (and the story quests) take them, then they may cross paths with Thilo. ■ Bird enthusiast: if your character(s) also have an affinity for birds, whether that be watching or riding them, then they might encounter Thilo at stables or in the wilds.

OOC Notes Player Information Info Use Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely; if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you contact me first to make certain it's alright. Character Lore Adherence Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. Anything that has had to be changed because of lore shifting will be noted below. ■ No changes. Important Note for RP Partners I'm not looking for romance. I've accidentally upset RP partners in other games by failing to make this clear up front, so let me be clear now. If my character is nice to yours, please don't understand his behavior as anything else other than being a decent human being. By all means, be yourself; if your character is a gregarious flirt, then don't censor yourself. Just be prepared for an IC rebuff and remember that Thilo is off the market, so to speak. Character Tidbits Links Out Links that lead off the wiki, but are technically relevant to the character. ■ Link Description: Link Title Tropes & Explanations A trope is a convention or device that is often found in creative works. In this case, the tropes below describe my character either in part, or as a whole. Their background, personality, appearance, etc, most of them can be described in the tropes below.  ■ Pragmatic Hero Thilo possesses more realism than an ideal hero, though he lacks the cynicism of a more unscrupulous one. ■ Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right! While he wouldn't skirt the law just to make a point, he strongly believes that what's legal and what's right may be two different things. ■ Cynicism is For Losers Thilo does not respect cynicism. He's suffered as much as many other adventurers in Eorzea; he just doesn't talk about it to strangers. Despite all the hardships, he loves life, and he believes that the world's beauty outweighs its ugliness if only people let themselves see it.
