Paul Desmond
[edit]
[This is updated frequently; check back for new details!] Sorrow Returns - Fairy Tail OST Lyrical Theme Song:
Presently Paul has fallen from his paragon outlook and is impelled by something else, something much more sinister than petty vengeance. 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". 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. Though Paul does at times spend the evening with a random woman for mere pleasure, spend the night consuming rum, or simply find comfort in a female companion, if the right woman opened his heart he would swear his loyalty. When Paul gives a woman his love, it is unwavering loyalty. Even still, the man's a flirt and he will make a flirtatious comment from time to time to other women. Note: While it is not emoted, Paul's expressions are sorrowful. He puts off a very dark aura by his presence. Nothing magical, of course. It would be more of an uneasy feeling. His mood is very melancholic and is very obvious just by looking at him. If he smiles it is always a sad smile. Any laughs are never of happiness and portrayal of happiness is false. This becomes less and less apparent as a conversation progresses. But if Paul is observed alone, the above is difficult to not see.

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 lives off his wealth and spends his days defending those around him and his close friends. 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 business. Around the time Paul was married he sold the business to take care of his wife. As of late, Paul has undergone a downward spiral. This dark descent is due to several heartbreaking moments and losing all he has ever cared about. Relinquishing the honorable ways of the paladin, Paul has become what some may call a rogue paladin.

PC Gossip (Gossip from the characters of other players. Go on, add one!)
💑 ♥Aiden Blood: It was a chance meeting, really. When Paul took a seat next to an acquaintance by the name of Elf at the Quicksands, the man seemed annoyed by this young woman and had to leave. Paul felt a pat on his shoulder as Elf said, "But Paul here will answer any questions you have." So... Paul took the empty seat and introduced himself. It was shocking to Paul how easy it was to speak with her and how much they had in common. After spending a couple evenings together it became clear that Paul could not ignore what he was feeling toward Aiden. While there had been no admission of love, there was a connection that begged further exploration. As it was explored, it became evident that this is indeed love. Now that it has been uttered in the air between them, Paul and Aiden confess nothing but affection for each other. ♥Liliana Ashe: Known to Paul as Liliana de Nazareth, he was swept up in her beauty almost immediately. After spotting her at a lone table in the Quicksands, he kept her company (or maybe it was vice versa) for the morning. The two seemed to really hit it off and a love between them soon grew. It lasted several moons and Paul even proposed to Lily, which she happily accepted. Sadly, however, as the old adage says, "All good things must come to an end." Thus, this intense romance ended as suddenly as it started. In order to leave this sorrow behind, Paul took to the see and was absent from Eorzea for two cycles. ♥Lara Stroggy: Met by a small chance through their travels in the forests of Gridania, it was a brief and innocent meeting. Then two suns later Lara happened upon Paul near Bentbranch. Something sparked there and after a few suns of a slight cat and mouse game, the two were romantically entwined like the grape vines of Aleport. Over the next dozen suns, their love grew immensely and at an exponential rate. But the unthinkable happened. Against a sworn oath to never forsake her, Paul left Lara for another. Through this unbecoming action, Paul broke Lara's heart and subconsciously broke his own. Recently, through the strands of an ironic fate, Paul happened upon Lara in the North Shroud. In an effort to repay in a small way what he did to her, Paul offered Lara back her family heirloom. She refused as it was a gift. Paul set it back at his left arm where it remained since she initially gave it to him. While he doesn't wear this ribbon any longer, he does keep it as a reminder to never stray down such a tumultuous road again. Paul has not seen Lara for several moons. Like all others before this, it seems the fire of this flame has flickered and coals extinguished. ♥Pia Fashonti: Paul met Pia in Ul'dah while he sought the comfort of his lady of choice: Rum. But after some endearing conversation he sought the company of Pia some more and could not resist the urge to invite her on a date. It was most enjoyable, and the company of Pia is very soothing to Paul. Be it a weakness for miqo'te in general or just ladies, he finds himself drawn to her. ● Rihxo Matoi: Paul met this miqo'te before the Calamity. It was really a chance meeting. He was on his way to the Drowning Wench when she collided with him and nearly fell off the upper decks. There was something about this young girl that caught his attention and he tends to watch over her. Even after meeting her in the Quicksand he has not placed her in his past, but something about her tugs at his memories as he tries to piece this mysterious feeling together. He again feels the need to keep an eye on her, especially after what she shared with him. Indeed, any harm to Rihxo (physically or emotionally) is tantamount to touching Paul's eye. ●Tamm'lin Maertena: Met in the back streets of Ul'dah, Paul took concern for this street rat as the Viper had just been seen in the area. After a few more chance meetings, the two become acquainted. She seemed to take an eager interest in the Viper case and offered herself as bait to lure out the vigilante. He's not sure what her motive is, but Paul could use the help. ●Suen Shyu: A warrant for this miqo'te's arrest caught Paul's attention while working the Flames' office. The nature of her petty crime actually had Paul interested. He recognized her after some light conversation in the markets of Ul'dah. A favor for a favor, Paul was able to remove her warrant in exchange to have Suen aid him in locating an ex-member of Rancor, a criminal organization.
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.
