Paul is calm and collected; focused. His driving force is his anger, fear, suffering, and pain. He has no weakness. His emotions are sealed tight. If the right person came along, he may open up. Indeed, when Paul finds the one woman that plagues his dreams, it is unwavering loyalty that she will have. |

He served the three Grand City States during and after the Calamity. Currently he serves the city states as an inspector that specializes in heinous sex crimes and child abductions. Before that, Paul was a sailor. His father owned a fleet of ships used to charter goods. After Paul's father passed away in sleep, he inherited the fleet. It was at sometime during the Calamity that all of it was lost; everything Paul loved was gone in an instant with no recollection of what happened and who he lost. All he knew is that something was missing and he knew naught of what it was. |

[This is updated frequently; check back for new details!] Time (From Inception) Paul in one paragraphPaul Desmond was a man of honor and loyalty. He commanded respect through his stature, strength, and wealth. He was a paragon of virtue; a knight of the Goddess. Presently Paul has removed himself from his paragon outlook and is impelled by something else; a far greater cause than he can accomplish within the bounds of the law. Aliases
Through hours of laborious venture into the world, Paul's strength is reflected through his chiseled body. Medium length, unkempt yet styled blonde hair shines over his tan body. Average height, around 5'8". People who are sailors or lived a life of sea-faring will immediately recognize Paul's body as that of a sailor. In addition to his bodily appearance, his eyes are deep blue, nearly matching the sea he was raised on. Paul Desmond is a man filled with darkness and sorrow. Yet, he is not corruptible; with a very strong mind he follows his own moral compass. Paul is calm and collected; focused. His driving force is his anger, fear, suffering, and pain. He has no weakness. His emotions are sealed tight. If the right person came along, he may open up. Indeed, when Paul finds the one woman that plagues his dreams, it is unwavering loyalty that she will have.

Paul Desmond's main military strength is his sword. He lent his blade as aid after the Calamity, scouring the land of evil Imperials and feral beasts. Though not violent in nature, Paul will not hesitate to pierce the body of a threatening foe, especially one who disrespects women. A man of a few different talents, Paul will assume whatever role necessary to make sure he protects the Grand City States. Paul himself is nearly a martial weapon and the way he fights is almost like an elegant dance. His movements are precise and calculated, even suffering blows in order to expose his targets to the fatal edge of his blade or a crippling move in close quarter combat.
Paul Desmond is a military man. He served the three Grand City States during and after the Calamity. Currently he serves the city states as an inspector that specializes in heinous sex crimes and child abductions. Before that, Paul was a sailor. His father owned a fleet of ships used to charter goods. After Paul's father passed away in sleep, he inherited the fleet. It was at sometime during the Calamity that all of it was lost; everything Paul loved was gone in an instant with no recollection of what happened and who he lost. All he knew is that something was missing and he knew naught of what it was. Please feel free to add your own gossip under PC! Common Gossip (Easily overheard)
Uncommon Gossip (Somewhat less common to overhear)[While this is uncommon gossip, if a character has been in a scenario to hear the gossip, then by all means use it =)]
Rare Gossip (Very difficult or rarely overheard)[Since these are said by people, they can of course be heard. However, they are rarely ever said and may not be used without permission. Thus they will not be acknowledged in RP.]

Paul can be anywhere, really. He's from Limsa Lominsa, so is there often. His work takes him all over, but he'll always be at a bar consuming rum when he can.
