Evander wakes up every day with a very difficult decision at the forefront of his mind: āHow bored do I want to be?ā Heās always waffling between trying to luxuriate in idleness and trying to combat a sense of nearly existential boredom with dangerous adventures and risky schemes. Luckily, hedonism can pull double duty and keep both impulses at bay.
Nameday:Ā 12th Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon
Alignment: Chaotic Good, though heās not convinced of theĀ āGoodā part.
Marital Status:Ā āWhy, are you asking? You could at least buy me a drink first!āĀ
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE āāā
Build: Evander has a swimmerās physique: Long, lean, broad-shouldered and tapering to a narrow waist. Given his lifestyle, he might have trouble maintaining that as he gets older, but for now heās gifted with a metabolism that lets him get away with precious little intentional maintenance.Ā
Common Accessories:Ā An old, battered flask full of something fancy; a silver coin, etched with the symbol of Oschon on one side, Nymeia on the other; that stupid hat; a domino mask; a pendant in the shape of a swan; a decoy coin pouch full of rocks; more money than sense
Profession: Evander used to be pretty upfront about not having a job, until he noticed how many questions and hassles that invited. If pressed about it, heāll say heās something like a procurer or a finder, that he makes a living locating things for people that are hard to come by or difficult to find. Heāll never refer to himself as an adventurer, but if someone else calls him one, he wonāt usually argue.Ā
Hobbies: First and foremost, Evander likes to indulge. He wants rich food and richer drink, and typically, more of it than he can safely handle. Beyond that, he often finds himself wasting as much time as possible, until the boredom finally overwhelms him and he has to throw himself into some harebrained scheme. Though he doesnāt advertise it, heās an avid reader, an occasional tinker and if you catch him in the right mood, far too willing to engage in stupid wagers for even stupider stakes.
Languages: He only seems to be fluent in Eorzean common, but he loves picking up bits and pieces of other languages wherever he can.Ā
Residence: He has an apartment in the Goblet, but itās under constant renovations. Heās half-considering moving back to Limsa Lominsa, but every time he seriously considers it, something tells him not to.
Birthplace: Limsa LominsaĀ
Patron Deity: If you ask him, heāll tell you Oschon. If you get enough drinks in him, heāll tell you that heās always personally felt a stronger connection to Nymeia, but feels like itās his duty to venerate Oschon. Asking him further just makes him drink further.
Spouse:Ā āWow, youāre really focused on this, arenāt you?ā
Parents:Ā āNever knewĀ āem.ā
Siblings:Ā āI was raised by my brother. Shame heās not here, youād have liked him.ā
Other Relatives: None that he knows of.
Pets: Evander takes care of Doctor One. Itās not quite clear whether heās a therapy sheep, or a therapist sheep, but heās well cared for regardless.

Old Habits Die Hard:Ā Evander wants to be a good person, he really does... But that's hard when you're this bored. It won't take much to pull him back to his old life: just the promise of something exciting and the suggestion that the only victims are probably deserving.

CONTACT INFORMATION Ā āāā
If you see me in game, absolutely feel free to walk up and say hi, or just shoot me a tell. Iām almost always happy to RP, and even if you catch me when Iām not, I like to think of myself as a pretty friendly person. Come say hi!
Outside of game, feel free to reach out to me here on tumblr! Admittedly, I donāt really know what Iām doing here yet, so please be patient if I donāt get back to you immediately or if I screw something up.
I have discord and I like to use it both to RP and just to chat, but Iād probably like to get to know you before I give it out, and Iād definitely like our characters to have a chance to meet in game before we RP there.Ā
Finally, I donāt have the most convenient schedule. Iām US-based, central time zone (yaaay midwestern life), but I work the night shift. So youāll often find me online at weird times. Iāll be on through the night if I have the night off, and Iām usually on early in the mornings, right after I get off work. Sometimes youāll find me on in the evenings, before work, but thatās pretty iffy, to be honest. But any time you see me, feel free to say hi!
