Hooks

- "I'm looking for a thaurmaturge or cleric. Or an alchemist that can put enough aether into someone to make them either.
- "Hazardous conditions bodyguard. You need to get somehere, I need to get paid."
- "I don't care what you've got in that suitcase, I want to know if this is the place that it's getting opened in and if my axe is necessary when it gets opened."
- "Nice gun. Make it yourself?"
- "Socialization means information, yeah? Make friends on the street who have needs related to sensitive stuff on bounties and the ilk is networkin'. Ends up hings that the adventurer's guild pays for well.
I know a Sapphire Avenue scientist that'll help you get some poultices on the low. Have a request?"
- "I'm not a vengeful person, but if you are, maybe I'm moved. Need help doing something in particular?"
- "An airship, under your employ? Reminds me of my days in the clouds. Think you could give a former 'privateer' a ride?"

Keeping it brief

History

Old
- Born poor, in the depths of Thanalan, Griffin was a beast of burden, and spent most of his time lifting rocks.
- One day a merchant noticed his predigious size and asked him to escort a caravan of goods to market, to which was found burnt and its occupants slaughtered by Amal'jaa.
- One of these occupants being his significant other of the time, Griffin found a discarded axe, and set out. Trapping and killing as many as he could until his stomach grumbled. It was then he learned that the Brass Blades got paid doing such things, and leveraged himself into their employ.
- Kicked out of the Blades for stepping on corrupt shoes, Griffin fled with the assistance of an airship, only for that airship to be hijacked by skypirates. Seeing oppurtunity, Griffin joined up, and it was the second most profitable decision he made. Guns, drugs, whatever would move across the sky without port authority notice was at his fingertips.
New
- After a bloody falling out with the crew, he left, returning to Ul'dah under the auspicies of fighting in the arena. After two fights, both savage beatings between mammoth men, Griffin arranged a deal with the authorities to enter the Immortal Flames, and charged in head first to Carteneau until the world changed.
- Motivated by how quickly it could all end before he could do something about it, Griffin walked with the Crystal Braves until they turned their blades on their own.
- Leaving that mess alone to join the fight in Bozja, Griffin sought freedom through battle, and still carries that same bloodlust with him for the rest of his life. To have a single thought and not many is an honor reserved for worthy opponents on special occasions. He is peaceful otherwise and does not seek out wanton violence for concern of the complications it can bring. It's just a treat.
- Of current, Griffin is a pet & people finder for those with money and means, or neither.

Keeping it real

OOC

Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight
Age: 34
- I do not have an ego man, I have been roleplaying long before I was old enough to get a job.
- What I do have though, is a passion for writing, as I am a professional writer.
- Speak your mind freely, I will too. Just might take a few extra characters.
- I enjoy making friends easily, and keeping their place in my mental pantheon. As long as you're unique, we're good.
- If something is of the digital people, I am curious. Current events are important!
- I enjoy a one shot here and there, but if you seek my attention as much as I do yours, long term and concequential are the keys to success.
- I will roleplay with anyone. Though there is room for the adult side of things, I find it best sampled amongst the many other things life has to offer, such as your company.
- Bring me contrast.
- Reformed purple-prose poster turned into paragraph poster with extra spice.
- I've been roleplaying since MSN Messenger was called Hotmail unironically. (almost 18 years now)
- IC & OOC are two entirely different demons. Griffin is a prick sometimes, but that ain't me. That being said, I like vibing and knowing a little bit about the author if we're going to chat for a long while.
- Grab attention, do not wait for it to come to you.- I enjoy experience dark fantasy subjects of almost any magnitude, including risk of character death. YOLO.
