Additional information ––– –

RP Hooks ––– –

Your character is:

... One with Ishgardian background: Valentyne was born and raised in Ishgard, as an oddball who never quite nailed the noble life. A faithful encounter could remind two people of a distant past.

... A cook: Cooking has become a big hobby for Valentyne. It’s calming, de-stressing and helps him move forward. Should he have someone to cook with, all the better.

... A bounty hunter: With a rapier in one hand, and a medium strapped to the other, Valentyne will rarely shy away from the chance to make extra gil on the side. Need a helping hand for your next bounty? He just might be your guy.

... One with ties to Drybone: Just over two cycles ago, several abductions occurred in Thanalan, Drybone, some whom never returned...

... A freedom fighter: Be it through antics upon the authority, a tall voice, or the cry of a damsel in distress, this dashing muskete- RED MAGE will always be at the ready to write the next history page. Liberation of nations might need some persuasion, though.

Looking For ––– –

Casual RP- I’m always down for slice-of-life or small adventure stuff. Let’s see where the ball rolls!

Connections- plotsplotsplotsplotsplotsplotsplotsPLotSPloTSlplOSTOS

Darker or mature themes - Darker stuff is always a yes from me. I’m a huge fan of horror and the stuff!

In-Game RP – I struggle a lot with concentration, thus I need the visual stimulation of in-game RP to stay in the zone. I can do short interactions over Discord, but that is only if something cannot wait until both are avaliable in-game.

About Me ––– –

Guilt was a shallow description of what Valentyne felt as he trekked through the wet streets of Ul’dah. His apathetic expression, barely shadowed by the thick brim of his hat, wandered it’s gaze from side to side. Most of the drunks, debasers, and anarchists had long sought shelter from the rain that soaked his obscuring coat. A vain observation, yet peculiar, for despite the various corners and awnings, not a single soul was in sight.

“A lovely day, is it not, Valentyne?” a mischievous voice trailed from a corner behind his left. An abandoned whore’s tent, with a shadowy figure kneeled at it’s entrance. “Come, it’s time.” Valentyne gazed around himself in a discreet manner, double... Even triple checking that no man, woman nor child was in sight. With clenched fists and teeth grit, he turned. The rain weighting heavy on his coat, obstructing it’s flow in the sudden movement.

The figure remained still as Valentyne loomed above her, whom revealed naught but a pair of sharp elezen ears, in the light produced by a sinister crack of lightning. “You look sharp, not your usual style.” the woman uttered. “Skip the pleasantries, you’re no friend of mine.” Valentyne snapped, albeit in a rather calm tone. 

His hands found their way inside the dark coat, and caused a rattle of coins as he untied a pouch of shiny gil. First now did he notice that the tent’s entrance was draped over one of the woman’s shoulders, concealing nearly half of her frame. “... Three families have finally moved on. While we’ve yet to find anything new about the six others, it’d seem that a father took his own life after the incident. As of now, no one knows you’re even alive.” the elezen crook eyeballed the pouch with a white, sparkling grin. With a grunt, Valentyne tossed the pouch into her lap, and turned to walk away. “See that you keep it that way.”

“Not so fast, Valentyne... There’s been a slight change in our agreement.” He paused. Every tendon and nerve in Valentyne’s body tensed up as, a mixture of fear and range stirred the cauldron of recklessness. “What?!” he snarled. “I’m already paying you people twice the amount of our original agreement. What more could you possible want?” The woman bent her neck backwards, revealing mismatched eyes of blue and yellow. “Oh...! Well, more money. You know how these things are.” Valentyne took a step forward. Ofcourse they want more. These crooks are never satisified with just a steady income. “Well, that is not my problem. You know just damned well as I that my problem is your best income. I’m already scrapping the bottom of the coffers to satiate your greedy needs.” He was once more hovering above her now, seething with rage as wet locks clung to Valentyne’s contorted features.

The elezen cackled. “Perhaps not a problem for you, but I imagine it’s going to be a problem for HER!” She flung the tent open, revealing a red haired, freckled raen in distress. Her pleas for help were muffled by a gag of cloth, and a trail of innocent blood teased the edge of a blade held to her cheek. “What was it you said last time? “Not another innocent life”? Then I suggest you find us some income, Valentyne.” He knew this raen, a traveling minstrel whom had a penchant for popping up in the most random taverns and venues.

She drew back her blade. “LET’S MOTIVATE YOU SOME, MURDERER!” Another crack of lightning prompted reaction from every cell in his body. Without even thinking, Valentyne’s boot flung up, and in the blink of an eye the elezen lay sprawled out on the cold, wet ground. Her eyes, rolled back in a ghastly expression as the bone of her nose had smashed into the skull. His pulls quickened, the adrenaline prompting him to bolt and pray people would see the body as just another Pearl Lane squabble gone wrong.

“Mpfh!” the raen muffled, prompting Valentyne to halt in his escape. He had a mind to just leave her, but then it occurred to him that she is, in fact, a witness. Curse these crooks. Curse his past curiosity, and curse this whole damned ordeal. “Haaaah! Houfh! H-okey, okey! What-!” As he pulled the makeshift gag from the minstrel’s mouth, his hand swiftly wrapped itself around her mouth. “Quiet.”

Selection: “Not even offering dinner first?”

Job: Red Mage(Melee/Ranged DPS)

Weapons: Chocobo Knife (Rapier)

AI Behavior: Valentyne/Haiake will always engage last in the party and stick to the RDM melee rotation. Before ending the rotation with Engagement, he will always cast Jolt II instantly to build up mana, which he will save up to 40/40 before casting Manafication for a full Enchanted melee rotation. While he will dodge ground AoEs in due time, he stays put if he is targeted by any marker. During stack mechanics, he will also remain put, prioritizing personal DPS. If the party idles near trash mobs, he will gradually cast Repose on each nearby enemy until the tank pulls.

Should Ottovachi be in the party, Valentyne/Haiake will switch to the full rotation of RDM and see a massive increase in DPS and will always seek to execute Limit Break before Ottovachi. In addition to this, he will actively do his part in mechanics, but sometimes fails to dodge ground AoEs in favor of DPS. Valentyne/Haiake cannot cast the stronger RDM spells, but has highly increased spell speed and skill speed.

Battle Lines:

“Does your mother know about this...?” - Starting Attack Line “Sweet dreams, darling.” - Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 “Show some finesse!” - Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 “Triple Triad is one hell of a game, huh?” - Assisting an ally

“Doubling the stocks!” - Using Manafication

Limit Break:

• “All me.” - After using limit break with 1 bar • “DEFINITELY all me.” - After using limit break with 2 bars • “We are DONE HERE!” - Using limit break with 3 bars • “Red supremacy!” - Using limit break with 3 bars with Ottovachi in the party

KO’d:

• “Those shades... Were... New...” - Variation 1 • “Even if the morrow is barren of promises...” - Variation 2

Revived:

• “Nothing shall forestall my return!” - Variation 1 • “'-incoherent mumbling-” - Variation 2

BONUS:

If there are 3 or more enemies in the vicinity, and Valentyne/Haiake has cast Repose on all of them, he will retreat to the shadows and execute a random enemy when the tank pulls.

Upon KO, Valentyne/Haiake has a 15% chance to leave the party for the remainder of the instance. 

If the other DPS is a bard, Valentyne/Haiake will recite a random act from Loveless after each boss kill.

“Another one of those... Viera, is that right? Women of tall stature and athletic bodies, mhh... Every inch of fiber within my being yearns for direct commentary, thus I shall oblige; I am intrigued. There is no hiding the fact that she us absolutely, utterly and rightly beautiful. Alas, I don’t know her. At all. Perhaps a round of Triple Triad over at my place could help on that matter. If she can make me smile in a special way, there is even potential for feelings!Add some drinks in there, and we might even get the blood flowing to all the right places~”
