OOC Information

  • 32 y/o - he/him

  • Varied RP experience

  • My hobbies and interests include varied gaming, lots of reading (currently loving 40k), sc-fi and manga

  • I'm interested in long, term short term, episodic, mature and varied scenes pending my mood - preferably lore abiding

  • If you have any questions whatsoever about my character, feel free to inquire but I encourage learning via writing

OOC Guidelines

  • No drama, possessiveness, stalking, etc. I've had my fill of that recently and I'd rather not experience it anew.

  • Open communication and transparency. If you are feeling ill, or are not enjoying yourself, you can talk to me. I'll not bite!

  • Character driven role-play is an absolute. For one offs, for long term, for anything mature, or even anything erotic. Including casual scenes. A basic character concept is -perfect-, so long as it exists.

  • To the above, while lore accuracy isn't 100% required, I'd like my partner to play a character that I feel exists in the world we're both playing in. Age, history, personality, style, mannerisms, tastes, etc.

  • IC/-/OOC - with the understanding that at times, there can be dissonance, based on emotional investment. Refer to 'open communication and transparency'.

  • When I'm enthusiastic about writing with someone, I put in 100%, 99% of the time. I do not expect the same, but let's all do our best to collaborate.

  • Mods are not required, but I do think it's important to have a visual aid of some sort for the medium we're using. 99% of role-play should revolve around writing.

  • I do not and will not write my character as exclusive, outside of AU content.

  • I'll not write with anyone under the age of 21.

  • Adult content -can- be discussed but it is -never- required.

  • If you're -genuinely- curious, reach out. Again. No biting.

A Brief History

Brought into the world as the bastard-born son of a noble Garlean lineage. The youngest of seven half-siblings. House Vaelar specialised in the construction and maintenance of various weapon facilities spread about the Islabard region. He received a military education from an early age and aspired to climb the ranks of the XIVth legion, like any good citizen. At the height of his military career, Atticus served in Gyr Abania, Eorzea and later, briefly, in Doma.The shameful collapse of the XIVth resulted in the usual shifting of personnel, and he forcibly transferred into the XIIth. It proved short lived, due to a mixture of personal betrayal and a growing disillusionment with a corrupt system. At present, he is affiliated with the East Aldenard Trading company, and The Iron Wolf mercenary company.

RP Hooks

  • Visit Vaelar’s Technicks & Bits – Plot 56, 17th Ward, The Goblet – leave a message in the book or meet me there directly. It’s loosely advertised as a place to go for spares & repairs but the resident(s) will accept various other types of commissions.

  • These commissions include bodyguard work, information gathering, ‘snooping’, dungeon delving and various other tasks.

  • You could be from a rent or debt collection agency. The property of Techniks & Bits is loaned out by a trading company. It’s not unusual for him not to be in their good graces, either due to mismanagement or lack of paperwork or regular payments.

  • You may be on the receiving end of a visit for collection of loans or payments due, from a hired gun. There is always room for negotiation but he does not suffer fools easily. Make a case, flee, or pay up on the spot. The choice is entirely yours, as are the consequences.

  • Maybe you're a former client or someone that’s familiar with his work – perhaps someone that holds a grudge or has personally suffered as a result of a past deed. Maybe an unsatisfied customer? Come and file a complaint!

  • It’s possible that your character may recognize him from his travels and may need to make an inquiry regarding something that’s occured prior. He mostly frequents gambling parlours, the Golden Saucer, and can otherwise be found running around like a busy body.

  • Perhaps you're in a dangerous predicament when he happens by and are in need of a mercenary's services. It is rare he'll stick his neck out without the promise of payment, but it happens. Think "captured by bandits", "ransomed by thugs", "caught in a snare", "trapped in a ravine", etc. It is not about playing the hero - it's about placing you in his debt.
