LANGUAGES
Native Garlean speaker. Fluent in Eorzean, some Doman, and some Eorzean sign language.PERSONALITY
Sawyer thrives as an ambivert, seeking both solace and company whenever he needs it. He is a foil of himself; vulnerable and guarded, hedonistic and benevolent, merciful and sadistic, pragmatic and nihilistic. Flippant as he may be at times, the humanity that lies within him is well-rounded and genuine. Yet it is also a byproduct of a cruel and unusual upbringing, re-crafting himself over and over to do whatever it takes to keep it.BACKGROUND
There are bits of his mind that remain clouded, but what tales Sawyer does remember are tragedies best left behind--or so he tries. After disappearing for a decade despite presumptions of his death, he reappears and wishes for nothing but to settle into a quiet life. However, his insatiable appetite for life remains unfettered, aiming to sate both hunger and curiosity. Yet he is no stranger to the fragility of trust, for his unique circumstances place him in a vulnerable position. Despite the risks that come attached with his desires, Sawyer understands there is little room for hesitation and he must do what he can to strive. Not only for his personal satisfaction, but to protect himself and others from a bigger danger.*See notes for elaboration.
Hooks
I'M NOT AN EFFIGY
Naturally versed in the reaper arts, Sawyer's prowess is similar to that of Manami sas Shinobu, noble bastard son of REDACTED. Some conspiracies point to Manami and Sawyer being the same person, though there isn't much evidence--save for both their accounts of self-exile from Garlemald. Manami also died at Carteneau allegedly when the latter disappeared.HELLMOUTH
Sawyer's aetherial makeup is described to be low by him due to his Garlean heritage. While the statement is a half-truth, he is also partially a nightkin. He sparsely elaborates on it, yet there are signs.STORIES OF OLD
Sawyer works as an independent archivist and librarian to preserve Garlemald's history in hopes that others learn from the nation's follies. He also hopes to find answers to his own questions, mostly regarding its military and morbid experiments in extracting voidsent power.PHOTOGRAPHIC
Outside of his interests relating to history and philosophy, Sawyer is an avid photographer with a keen interest in portraits and landscape. He leans toward realism with some idealistic influence.
Notes
Walkup/tells are usually fine, but please ask OOC about doing the following before engaging!
- Flirting / romance / ERPing
- Horror / psych horror / crime
- Long-term RP
- Fighting / humiliation
- Exchanging aether
ABSOLUTELY NO...
- Non-con/rape
- ERP with Lalafell/underaged characters
- Perma-death
- Pregnancy (see general notes).
- RP with Garlean loyalists and/or any nationalist characters.
- ERP / romance with women and/or femme-identifying characters.
The worst I will say is "no" or I have no spoons/time. This is also to make sure I know what's going on and we're on the same page.
WARNING
Sawyer's backstory deals with elements of torture, psychological abuse, murder and death, forced cannibalism, and more. Although his general story is focused on healing, the mundane, and slight dramatics, be aware these topics may be discussed or mentioned. If you are uncomfortable with any of these or need warnings, please let me know!GENERAL
- A lot of my characters are voluntary childless and do not want children. I also suffer from tokophobia (fear of pregnancy). Aside from pregnancy, PLEASE refrain from making pregnancy jokes with my characters.
- RP can be done either in-game or on Discord. I have no preference for either.
- I am based in Central Standard Time in the US. My schedule is sporadic sometimes, so planning ahead of time is encouraged.
