A GARDEN COVERED IN THORNS
a man who was long abandoned by the world used to only wish to be left alone up until recently. still he prefers some form of solitude and throwing himself into work.skilled in creating medicines, perfumes and teas he can be found running his apothecary within the Twelveswood. It's fairly well known, as he takes pride in his work and products. He's also known by his employers and few others as a skilled poison-maker. it all depends on what you're looking for when you set foot in his shop, but he can set you up with what you need with a smile that doesn't reach those cold red eyes of his. if you're doing business, he's enterprising and polite. if not, then he's often cold and dismissive, and quick to pass judgement.there's very little he lets someone see past the surface level of politeness and false smiles. one is more than welcome to try. as it were, a few have managed to see the hardworking and admittedly cautious yet caring side of him.the half elezen is guarded about himself, the only thing he prefers to talk about is botany and his shop if you don't know him well. even if you do, it's hard to scratch the surface. with this he's observant of others - grown quite astute and picks up on things another person might overlook.
Hooks
Step into the apothecary
- looking for some rare plant? for medicine? a personalized blend of tea or perfume? you'll find that and more at his shop, which he'll gladly sell to you.- when he wishes to be found, it's usually somewhere within The Shroud, or rarely passing through Ul'dah. he frequents the Botanist's Guild and the Alchemist's Guild within those cities.- if you're in need of some strong (and probably illegal) substances like somnus, moko grass or beyond, he's got it to sell if you've got the gil- in need of getting rid of an enemy, or someone who's wronged you beyond redemption? for the right price, he'll supply you with an incredibly effective poison. with the right words and enough gil, he may even do the deed himself.OOC INFO:
- thanks for reading! i tend enjoy all rp but tend to have a preference towards dark or mature themes. with that i tend to be pretty story-driven with my writing, and love having things develop organically.
- my timezone is est and i tend to be available in the afternoon/evening, along with the weekends.
- i am very big on open communication. i also am big on ooc/ic separation. despite playing them, i am not my character, and vice versa.
- i tend to stick more to lore, but don't mind a little bending here and there, especially if we've rped before.
- i am open to discord rp as well, but i am a slow writer both in-game and on discord. balancing work, school & writing can make it difficult sometimes.
- if you're interested in roleplaying, please send me a /tell if you see me with my RP tag on!
