IC INFORMATION CHARACTER NAME: Thancred Waters CANON:Critically Acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV SIGN: Strength FACTION: Thorne
CHARACTER INFORMATION: Thancred is part of an organization called the Scions of the Seventh Dawn who are dedicated to protecting the realm of Eorzea (and beyond) while not being tied to any one nation, allowing them to not be tied down by political obligations. They do things like fighting primals (false gods), saving the realm from ancient beings who want to bring about calamities, and lots of other fun stuff. Thancred is particularly skilled in espionage, so he is here for infiltration, reconnaisance, subterfuge, survivalism... the list goes on. He comes off as cocky and charming at first glance, but in reality holds himself to a very high standard where he's constantly trying to prove himself, womp womp. He has gone through some character development in that arena and also had to learn how to be a dad. He's also done this song and dance with getting whisked to another world before, so he'll maybe handle it better than some other newly summoned.
Oh, right, and because of some things he went through in canon, Thancred is physically incapable of using magic. Naturally, I had to drop him in Thorne.
CR YOU WANT: Given that he's brand new, I think I'm allowed to get away with one "everything," BUT: • In all honesty, Thancred is pretty amiable and will strike up a conversation quite easily with just about anyone, though sometimes it might be for an ulterior motive. He might not be 100% open about himself at first, but he also isn't completely a closed book. He's just playing his cards close to the chest for now. • THORNE PALS, COME AT ME. I'm down for keeping all TDM threads with Thorne people canon! • Someone to tell him more about the Horizon and help him to get access would be great! This will likely have to be someone in Thorne. • He'd like a knife. Maybe two. He'd like a gun(blade) even more. Anyone wanna help a guy out? • He's going to be doing a ton of snooping around and at some point will probably be trying to sneak into somewhere he shouldn't be to get more information on Thorne and the royal family, etc. Not sure how this is going to go but it may or not be a disaster and if anyone wants on that messy train, I'm down. • Despite all his sneaky stuff, he also fills the tank role, so if you need someone to jump into a fight and take some hits, he's your guy. • Thancred's very close to Himeka, so anyone who is also close to her (or, conversely, who has negative CR with her) is bound to get the third degree from him. Or he'll at least be curious about them. CR YOU DON'T WANT: Nothing's coming to mind, tbh. I am literally down for anything and if our CR turns out to be negative, I love that too. Just expect Thancred to get real sassy if that happens, he doesn't hold back. PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Once Thancred finds out that Himeka is here he's definitely going to base a lot of his impressions about the factions and what needs to be done in this world on her impressions, but! Beyond that, I honestly love the idea of him getting into some double/triple agent spy nonsense with playing the factions off of each other, feeding information from Thorne out or vice versa, etc. etc. I don't have a fully formed plan here yet but it's something I'd love to try and work on if the opportunity presents itself.
