[edit]

-Updated 4/24/2018-

Hailing from Sharlayan, Nucoraux is a standoffish, sardonic healer and part-time fortune teller. Though he's been in Eorzea for the better part of a decade, even before the calamity and the end of the previous Astral, he still hasn't taken well to most of the city-states or its denizens. When he does attend events, it's rare for him to take part in small talk, though he does the occasional fortune for a person or an outcome - ones that are typically without request. He's also known to drink heavily, both from his own flasks, from bars, or offered, though typically with a wary esuna in the last case.

Likes

Business: Money begets more money when used properly. Nucoraux's partial acquisition of 'Razortalons Adventuring Company' may have been to skip scrutiny but wise investments and horriyingly disadvantageous-to-the-worker contracts keep it profitable.
Alcohol: Nucoraux's one constant is his drinking. He typically has anywhere from three to six flasks hidden in the bulky robes and coats he tends towards.
Knowledge: Originally from Sharlayan, Nucoraux still has knowledge on his mind - though typically of the scholarly, peer-reviewed style and not whatever crackpot idea someone has to explain a rainbow they just saw.
Triple Triad: Nucoraux makes a habit of collecting and staying apprised on goings on in the Triple Triad world.


Dislikes

Talking: More of a listener, Nucoraux is hard to lure into conversation and typically dismissive even then.
Flirting: Tied with above, his lack of interest in meet and greets and general conversation has lead to a general dislike of flirting.
Poor People: Poor people offer little in way of profits or intelligence. In Nuc's mind, if they were smart they wouldn't be poor - or wouldn't be for long.

Quirks

Stards: Somewhere between a joke and serious is Nucoraux's shorting of 'Stars' and 'Cards'. Unorthodox, but his common short-hand for the cards reflecting the movement of the Stars.
Triple Triad Tarot: An orthodox deck of Sharlayan cards has six cards. That's far too few for Nucoraux, even with liberal interpretations on card positioning. Instead, he uses his collected triad deck for readings - whether or not he took some true decks and glue for this purpose is currently unknown.
Warder: True to his disinterested nature, Nucoraux dislikes touching. He's known to throw up temporary, strong protection spells when someone tries to pat, touch, hit, or hug him and is adept at throwing them up reflexively.
Wealth is in Appearance: Typically not the the point of flamboyancy, Nucoraux does wear brighter and 'richer' colored fabrics, accessories, and jewelry. He wouldn't want to be mistaken for being poor, after all.
Appearance
When standing, Nucoraux is as taller than the Midlander average. His face is marked with a number of faded scars, the most prominent across his nose with an accompanying dip from some injury long past and a pair of recent lines near the bottom of his neck. His hair was probably a light blue in his youth but has already starting to transition to a just as light blue-grey at his current age. In public, he's typically in a bulkier robe of some sort, rarely without gold, silver, or other wealthy adornment and the occasional lump from his flasks with certain motions.

NPC

PC


F'anh Tukara ( ) - Business Associate
A miqo'te that's currently working with Nucoraux on a project of mutual concern. Though originally meeting in a less than cordial exchange of insults at each other, they've since grown to (generally) more favorable opinions of each other.
Zozomaru Roromaru ( ) - Business Partner
Nucoraux's partner in acquiring Razortalons. Though they're nominally friendly, most of their conversations inadvertently end in arguments, especially over the proper use of alcohol - unless there's a more fitting target for their verbal ires.
U'kijah Fijh ( ) - Missing Persons
A former girlfriend that has since disappeared under suspicious circumstances.
Merimu Razortalon ( ) - Worker
The original person whom Zozo and Nuc bought the company from, now indentured to Razortalon itself. Nucoraux constantly 'forgets' his name, usually making up a similar sounding one for introductions or reference.

"I'd get him to remove a splinter, but I'd be in debtor's prison or indentured from the cost!"
◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
"Bastard's listenin' even when he looks like he ain't. Had 'em give a fortune on an expedition conversation he weren't invited in."
"His room is just a throne with a ton of gold! Who does that?!"
◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!

OOC

OOC INFORMATION

Personal RP Limits
I will play Mature content and themes(coarse and excessive language, drinking, drug use etc. as long as there is good reason). Temporary injury and incapacitation. Most walk-up encounters. Potential relationships after long-term RP encounters if the characters mesh well and after OOC communication.
Ask about Long-term RP or plot scenarios.
I won't play Permanent character death or rape plots.
I occasionally recognize Fantasias If a fantasia is handled well, I'll recognize it. There's numerous ways to do this in lore, such as sylph-styled glamours, but they have to be handled. Suddenly being going to an au'ra from a miqo'te with no real explanation or consequence will be ignored.
I dislike retcons I'm an unabashed snob when it comes to RP. As such, I will go to every length to avoid retconning when it comes to RP involving Nucoraux.
Disclaimer
If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell, letting me know. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion.

CHARACTER TIDBITS

Potential Plot Hooks
Anything dealing with acquiring rare goods
Healing. Nucoraux can heal first and ask questions later - but expect an invoice.
Business ventures.
Academic knowledge studies, symposiums, etc.
Alcohol. Not specifically about it, but he has been known to engage people that bring him some - though not always in polite or sincere ways depending on the quality of booze.
Tales from far off continents. Nucoraux's always interested to hear news and tall tales about the New World, Mercaydia, Thavnair, and so on - though he probably won't show it.
