Flynt Reddard

Flynt Reddard, in a short statement, is a problem child. From a rather wealthy family, Flynt grew up spoiled; taught at a young age that money is power. Living by that standard, Flynt constantly seeks a means to be the center of attention, his ultimate goal being known throughout the realm. Vices get the better of him, succumbing to a compulsive need to take chances, throwing gil into gambling rings, chocobo races, and pit fights. Nothing stops the man from getting off his high-horse to get his hands dirty provided he's goaded (often by his own naivete) into such situations. Adept in knife fighting and hand-to-hand combat, self-taught; he attempts to make quick work of any snags and tears in the greater scheme of things. A self-proclaimed professional in his line of work, 'The Hyena' is far from any sort, despite his potential. Approach with a smile and one will be greeted with open arms, come forward hostile and be made an example of. Play a game or two with him, it would be very much so worth your while.

Abilities and Skills

Personal

  • Martial Arts: Flynt is adept at close combat after spending most of his childhood marveling at the devastating melee combat gladiators and wrestlers would flaunt in the ring, utilizing a myriad of memorized styles to achieve victory.
  • Adept Gunplay: After access to Ishgard, Flynt picked up a novelty revolver in the marketplace to serve as a last resort. After spending far too many hours shooting at small desert mammals, he's become rather quick on the draw, despite the gun's laughably poor quality.

Weapons

  • A large fighting knife kept sheathed in a leather holster.
  • Snub-nosed revolver, kept in terrible condition. For when the going gets tough.
  • A set of three much smaller knives, little use in combat, therefore disposable as throwing weapons.

History

Name and Lifestyle

Nicknames

  • The Hyena: A name given to Flynt by those who bore witness to his brutality on the field, comparable to that of a hound's method of hunting prey.

Current Residence

Coerthas Central Highlands, the Observatory Inn.

Before Dalamud's Fall

Birth and childhood (0-10)

Raised to be the heir of his father's corporate empire, Flynt was a spoiled child, put through rigorous schooling despite numerous shortcomings.

Teen Years

Received a formal education in the far north until the age of 24, learning the vast majority of cybernetics and experimental augmentation. Upon graduation Flynt set off for new lands with some of his father's stolen fortune.

After Dalamud's Fall

Adulthood

Flynt found his way to Eorzea after word of disaster, "Well damn, looks like that's the cheapest boat to set sail on now." seemed to be the only thought that crossed his mind before boarding. After some time, Flynt established himself a small yet successful business in Ul'Dah as a clothing outfitter where he gathers funds for his high standard of living. It was only when he realized how prevalent violence was in Eorzean culture that he took his profits and invested them into a pair of blades to enter himself in numerous competitions around the continent. Balancing an enterprise of luxuries and combat, the Flynt you know and love/hate was formed.

A Realm Reborn (Present, 23)

Flynt now sits upon his empire of swag, earning his place among the upper class and splurging his fortune on pointless investments to bolster his ego; be it through gambling it away in the Manderville Golden Saucer or hosting million dollar events for ambitious adventurers like you to partake in.
