Jared Stone
Info
Age: 26
Race: Midlander Hyur
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Bisexual
Home: Ul'dah
Relationships: Open Polyamorous Dating
Patrons: Azeyma and Nald'thal
Occupation: Brass Blades of the Balsam
Extracurricular: Miner, Personal Escort
Notable Features: Typically seen in the uniform that marks him as an Ul’dahn city guard, wearing a red and black turban with a leather visor, reddened brass chain mail armor, and a scimitar. He has a scar along his right cheek. Jared carries himself a bit differently than a typical Brass Blade, more upright and martial. He's no sellsword.
Physical Appearance: 5′11″, 200 ponze, with warm-toned and lightly tanned skin, medium-length brassy blonde hair, dark brown eyes, and a smattering of freckles. He has a broad and well-muscled frame from years of training. He is well-toned but not particularly bulky.
Personality: Under the mask, Jared’s face is pleasant and friendly. He looks too nice to be in his line of work. He looks, perhaps, a bit on the gullible side. Jared has a genuine desire to be helpful, but is easily distracted by anything flashy or pretty. He believes in chivalry as a virtue, but one he typically fails to attain. Jared is a smart man, until he suddenly isn't. He's also a massive idiot, until he suddenly isn't.

Hooks
Reluctant Brass Blade: Jared’s patrol takes him all over the city, from Pearl Lane to the Ruby Road Exchange to the Chamber of Rule. I’m open to all types of RP along this avenue -- he could rescue your character, he could arrest your character, he could break up a fight or investigate a crime for you. He can also be bribed by you to look the other way, assuming your character can come up with sufficient means or a compelling argument to convince him. Have fun with it.
Disgraced Sultansworn: Those among the ranks of the Sultansworn might remember a promising trainee -- a legacy, whose father Samuel was a highly regarded Sultansworn elite who died in the line of service about ten turns ago -- who was disbarred from the Order a few years ago on an accusation of dereliction of duty. By all accounts, the lurid details of how he lost his standing are hot, unforgiving, and quite scandalous. But the rumors are blown out of proportion, right? They must be. Nobody’s that stupid.
Immortal Flames Animosity: Jared has an open distaste for the Immortal Flames as an institution and for anyone who bears its symbol as an officer, with very few notable exceptions. He will actively disrupt any investigation into civilian matters that he believes is outside the Flames' jurisdiction as a military force. Rivals? Could be fun. (DNI: Anyone who does Flames RP with Reppu Hijiri. Respectfully, I do not consent to be involved in RP that links back to her.)
Private Guard: Though he's picky about who he takes personal guard contracts from, Jared has been known to lend his sword and shield to individuals for private business, adventuring, and security escort needs. He won't agree to be anyone's permanent bodyguard, but he might just be your man for short-term or one-off endeavors.
Dancer for Hire (18+): Not content with his guard's salary, Jared also moonlights in some less than reputable places. While attending a show at a dimly lit bar on the outskirts of Ul'dah called the Songbird's Lounge, your character may have seen Jared working as a shirtless bartender or dancer. Buy a drink from him, put gil down on a private dance, or just enjoy the show.
Pearl Lane Reputation: Anyone who spends time listening to the chatter in Pearl Lane may have heard Jared's name come up in conversation once or twice. He's often the unwitting subject of outlandish rumors, and your character may have heard something scandalizing, unbelievable, or simply incredible about Jared. There's a 50/50 chance it's true. Feel free to make something up and confront him about it!

OOC
I'm 30+ and I only RP with players and characters who are 18+. My timezone is EST/EDT and I'm available weekday evenings after 6 PM and all day on weekends. Contact me in-game at Jared Stone@Balmung, on Discord at thatsadorbsyo#6895, or through Tumblr.Please ask OOC before taking extreme or disruptive actions, like physically attacking Jared, interrupting a scene in progress to pick a fight, or requesting immediate aid if he's otherwise occupied.I always love: Lore-compliance, low and medium powered characters, antagonistic characters of equal power level to mine, dice combat and simple violence, criminal or morally grey RP, character-driven RP, plot-driven RP, flirting and prolonged sexual tension that may or may not end in ERP, fumbling and ineffective romance, casual group RP (3-5 characters), one-on-one scenes with a hook, an improvisational "yes, and" approach to roleplay.Situationally, I also like: Lore-bending, highly powered characters, antagonists and villains that are higher powered than my character, spontaneous ERP if there's a good IC vibe or a plot contrivance, non-exclusive romance, dark or sinister themes, complicated violence, large group RP (6+ characters), pre-established relationships (estranged friends or ex-lovers especially), loosely plotted scenes and DMed scenes, minor-to-moderate and/or temporary harm and injuries.I'm not interested in: Lore-breaking, openly voidsent/sin eater characters, overpowered characters, being cannon fodder, monogamous romance, OOC romance, one-on-one idle IC chitchat, rigidity to aesthetic that stunts scene spontaneity and character growth, pre-plotted outcomes to scenes, character death, debilitating harm or injury.I may OOCly refuse to engage in Brass Blade RP that hinges on certain sensitive topics or real world prejudices. I'm willing to roll with most things of a mature or dark nature, but if you aren't sure, feel free to ask me first.I will not roleplay with people who use transphobic terms like "trap" or "futa".I don't want to join your cop FC. I actually hate cops.
