OOC INFORMATION


NAME: Court
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] demonology / demonology#1725 / PM
ABOUT YOU: Hi, I'm Court and my interests range from video games (recently been playing FFXIV, Genshin, Skyward Sword, and doing a replay of FFVI with the pixel remaster) to shows (currently catching up on MCU stuff, also recently caught up on What We Do in the Shadows, been watching lots of horror movies) to watching people play games on YouTube. I plurk mainly about RP and whatever I'm playing/watching, with the occasional RL chatter. Feel free to add me if you want!

IC INFORMATION


CHARACTER NAME: Thancred Waters
CANON: 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.

CR YOU WANT:
• 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. There are still some Thorne people I haven't started CR with, and I'd like to change that.
• He enjoys exploring in the Horizon, so any sort of run-in there is always an option.
• Sparring/training partners are always fun!
• 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.
• Other dads/parents in general? He doesn't often get to talk about Ryne but I'd love for that to come up more.
• 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: Thancred will soon be returning from a three week trip around Thorne doing a special quest/mission with Stephen and Yennefer! They're all going to be a bit closer as a result, but I'm fine with other denizens of Thorne having noted his absence. How much he'll share with others about this will depend on a lot of different factors, but I'm down to play around with that. Also excited to see what the event will bring. As a more long-term thought, 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.
