Roleplay Hooks

The following are a list of roleplay hooks you can use to connect with my character. If you see me around in game, feel free to send me a /tell or walk-up when I'm tagged for RP and we can pull from this list to generate a reason for an interaction.

  • A Good Day to Die ;; I hate to say it, but A'ven has a tendency to ruffle the feathers of various criminal overlords. That being said, it wouldn't be a shocker that during a relaxing stroll in the sun he was 'randomly' attacked by bandits or various scum with an intent to end his life.

  • A Worthy Foe Should be Respected ;; In his line of work A'ven meets all kinds of adversaries, many of which he has come to admire for their tenacity to the cause. Perhaps there is a mutual respect, or rivalry between them that causes occasional conflict with witty banter and intermittent spars.

  • By Fidelity & Military Service ;; shortly after leaving his home tribe, A'ven joined the services of the Adders and subsequently, the allied nations. After the Battle of Carteneau and the ensuing era of devastation, he hung up his emblem to retire as a mercenary. Former allied members might be familiar with his name in various rosters.

  • Desire is Tamed with a Kiss ;; A'ven in his time has known a bedroom now and then, and a lady fair beneath the sheets. But not all of them have been so easily woo'd. Perhaps you're one that gives chase, a high class noble woman who finds his charm amusing, but often leaves him on a string dangling for the next encounter.

  • My Favorite Dish is Revenge ;; Ah yes, A'ven spoiled your fun. He took your girl? Money? Or perhaps he wounded a friend in a business venture. Whatever the case, you hate him - and loath to see him happy, so you rue the day he took breath and aim to make him as miserable as he made you.

  • Nothing Personal, It's Just Business ;; On the reverse end, perhaps instead of A'ven cheating you, you cheated him? Rival mercenaries or hunters fight over bounties all the time. Perhaps they have an ongoing rivalry where you steal jobs or gil, or always getting him into trouble.

  • It Was Fine at my Workshop ;; A'ven has a knack for small appliance repair, Perhaps one such job went astray, or the gadget broke after he 'fixed it'. So you've come to be a 'Karen' and want to speak to the manager.

  • A Hero Complex ;; He can't say no to someone in distress. For those of you needing a hero - A'ven fits a good guy role nicely. He's not always the novel saint, but when it comes to saving kits or pretty dames, he's at the ready.

  • Sucker for a Pretty Face ;; If you have one, A'ven is prone to throw himself in your general direction. Perhaps you're too shy to approach, and need a more forward character to get your wall flower out of the background. Let me know! A'ven is just the type to make the first move.

Roleplay Rules

As a mercenary by trade, A'ven is often contacted for work, and odd jobs. When using any of my hooks, or attempting to setup RP with me, please review the rules below. It is not that I want to make it harder to get connections, I just want to be transparent about how I roleplay. My hope is it will make you more comfortable to approach me as you know what I represent in the RPC.

  1. If placing a bounty against another roleplayer's character be sure to have approved it OOC with them firstly.

  2. 'Kill' requests should only be made on characters who are at least interested in death. Bounty Hunter's who can never actually complete a 'kill' would lose reputation quickly, and perma death is not commonly accepted.

  3. While I have nothing against ERP, those related requests will be denied immediately. Sorry ladies - I know he's pretty, but taken and so those sort of roleplays are available.

  4. Mature content is acceptable. Blood & violence, drugs and some suggestive themes would be common in the criminal underground. Please be of age when doing any RP involving any of these things.

  5. Game currency will not be requested or expected as payment for jobs and will only be accepted in the form of added immersion, tips, or donations supporting the fact that RPing extensively isn't a very lucrative experience.

  6. In the context of the slave trade, A'ven is not a Slave Hunter and should a request be placed on recovering one, even if disguised as something else, you can expect they will most likely be free'd. Rescue missions are always accepted!

  7. A'ven is a chaotic good aligned character, and therefore he reserves the right to turn down the requests that go against this. If a job is not immediately revealed to be 'evil' in nature, it will be accepted and we can discuss repercussions of job refusal.

  8. Fighting will be very common in most requests as such I am comfortable with or without rolls, wounds, scars, or bruises as a result of a conflict. Taking damage is expected, but please avoid unapproved dismemberment, or death.

  9. A’ven is not the Warrior of Light, and is not immune to tempering. Please be advised that while not rejected, Eikon related requests may require extensive OOC discussion.

Roleplay Contact

So, you like what you see and want to spice up your roleplay life with a new connection? Need this handsome mercenary to ruffle the feathers of a rival character? Maybe to body guard or bounce for a main event? Whatever your fancy, A’ven is likely your man and I'm more than willing to involve him. He's fun, witty, charming and as long the gil favors the job, he'll take on anything - but fits nicely as a:

  • Bounty Hunter ;; A'ven is open to taking on bounties for various clients. These are single target hunts that require him to track down a specific individual of importance. Could be to eliminate, capture, or rescue and return them home. It does not always have to be humanoid, and voidsent or wilds monsters may also be targeted.

  • Mercenary ;; As a mercenary, odd jobs that require his martial skillset are the most common. This can be information gathering, fetch quests, even theft or to add himself as an extra body in battle.

  • Bodyguard ;; Security jobs are a common favorite of his, and he is often hired to attend a specific event as a resource for protection. This role can also be refined to guarding an individual, like a child or family pet. Long term contracts are not available at this time.
