Kasasagi has spent much of the last five years living as a pirate, divorced from his family after he betrayed them to help a close friend escape when the man became a target for their assassins. Now living in Eorzea, he has been putting together a small network of assassins and thieves known as the House of the Four Winds. Modeled on the similar such network in which he was raised, the Four Winds takes on contracts of a criminal kind for well paying benefactors who need someone who can clean up their problems without getting their hands dirty themselves. Publicly, Kasasagi owns a small bar called the Waltzing Weasel (The Goblet, Ward 2, Apartment #67) which serves as both an open-to-the-public tavern, albeit a small one, and a private meeting spot for the members of the Four Winds. ❝ Quote. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Green Black Slightly tanned Athletic Confident Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Arrogant, confident Ambidextrous Multiple (see below) Tattoos (see below) Smart, well dressed Hair & Eyes Kasasagi tends to keep his hair long and tied back. His natural color is black, but he likes to add highlights of different colors, though he has a preference for white in particular. His eyes are dark green with a very faint glow to his limbal rings. Physique & Markings Kasasagi is of average height for his race and gender with an athletic build that suits his profession well. He has several scars, though only the one above his left eye is visible whilst dressed. There are others, particularly across his arms, shoulders and back from , as well as several other scars on his arms, shoulders and back but he tends to dress in a way which hides these from view. Amongst the scars on his upper arms, Kasasagi also possess a tattoo, given to him by his clan to mark his passage into adulthood. It is not a mark he particularly likes to show off as some might recognize it and the clan to which it is connected, raising awkward questions he would rather not deal with. Hygiene & Attire Kasasagi tends to dress smart but comfortable; he prefers dark, muted colors and well-fitting clothes. He is very fussy about his privacy and conscious of the scars he bears leading him to avoid any attire that might reveal the more obvious marks on his shoulders and back. He prefers long sleeved shirts and coats, usually picking fabrics that are suitable for the local climate. Personality Psychological Profile On the outside Kasasagi is genial and friendly individual, a man who spends most of his public time managing his own private bar. However, close observers might note that he tends to listen more than he talks and is more than willing to let loose tongues wag, often encouraging them share more than they initially intend. He is a collector of information, with no particular preference for its method of acquisition, and is usually willing to pay a price for particularly useful knowledge. As an individual, he is fiercely loyal to his allies, but he can be both vengeful and vindictive toward those he feels have crossed him. Toward individuals whom he does not know, particular if they happen to become the focus of one of his jobs, he can be manipulative and occasionally two-faced. Though unlikely to ever double cross an individual unless first wronged himself, he will occasionally manipulate events to engender the best outcome for his own interests, and he is not afraid to don a mask a play the fool if it will get him what he wants. He is a careful and calculating individual, a manipulator who prefers to tie strings to people with which make them dance, rather than resorting to the use of violence. He is not averse to using physical threats when necessary, however he commonly believes that there are easier ways to get what he wants than with brutality, and that intimidation does not always need be physical in nature. Voice Kasasagi generally speaks in a manner which conveys confidence, if not a little arrogance, when dealing with people on a day to day basis. He is usually polite and comes across as both well educated and reasonable, unless he wishes otherwise. He will raise his voice rarely when angry or belligerently drunk (a state that does occur very often), though he prefers the subtleties of a softer tone when seeking to intimidate threats of violence. He is also capable of falling into speech patterns that will convey an entirely different personality if it suits his needs, making him something of a chameleon in public company. This is more common when he is playing a role or trying to extract information from someone who does not respond to his usual demeanor. Motivations Kasasagi's motivations can be complicated, and are not always easy to see; often he can appear to act for one reason, whilst his real intention may turn out to be something else entirely. His primary motivations, however, usually revolve around one of two things: loyalty toward those to whom he has given it and, in more specific situations, the protection of someone close to him. He takes the concepts of duty and loyalty quite seriously, and is capable of going to fairly extreme lengths to see something through once he has given his word on it, whether that be in business or personal matters. His obsession with secrets and whispers is driven by the belief that it is the thing you don't see coming that will often get you killed, as well as an understanding of the value that information can have to the right people.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. 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 send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
