PERSONALITY
In the beginning, Shawn was a quiet, well-reserved, but kind young man. He was modest and usually kept to himself. Enrolled in the best academy in Ul’dah, his classmates would describe him as quiet, reserved, and even a lone wolf. After the death of his father, he forced himself to be more sociable and meet more people. And he did so. However, there were those who had taken advantage of his kindness several times that it brought his life and self into turmoil. With the help of a man named Xavier, he was able to regain and find himself. Because of his help, Shawn's personality has evolved from the past. While he is sociable and friendly, he is quite assertive and gives no consideration to those who appear to have ill-will towards others. In other words, he knows when he's being taken advantage of and will call people out on it.
HOOKS
• Were you formerly part of the Gladiators' Guild some eight to ten years ago? Perhaps you also trained there with Shawn, and likely found out that he was in the guild against his parents' wishes.
• Were you trained as a free Paladin by Captain Jenlyns? Perhaps you trained right along side Shawn, as he was a perfect candidate for being a Sultansworn. He rejected the offer every time, however.
• Do you frequent pubs and such establishments around Eorzea? Shawn is a believer in supporting the local businesses when he travels so he often goes to unknown places to eat, drink, and sleep for the night if he's traveling.
• Do you frequent the beaches at The Mist? It is rumoured that Shawn has a business venture there with a "partner" and at times has spent his free time either bathing in the sun or actually swimming.
• Are you a traveling adventurer? Better yet, a treasure hunter? You may have run into Shawn and his "partner" in search of ruins with anything of value.
QUIRKS
• Proper speech, he speaks in eloquent tones as he was raised in a high-society life
• Once did not like 'treasures' or anything that made you look 'rich', though he doesn't mind it so much now
• Knowledgeable in armour and metallic weapons
• Loves to travel
• Loves being near water
• Loves musical performances
• Reluctant healer
• Dabbles a little in the recently-discovered "blue magic"

OOC
About me..?
Hey everyone. How's it going? Thanks for coming by and checking out this site. Now about me... I'm on the west coast of the US so I'm GMT -8 (-7 on DST) and I'm usually on during the evenings of Sun-Wed and sporadically all other days, but on at night. Usually. If my RP icon is present, then I am open for RP. Go ahead and walk on up, or send me a tell. I'm good with both.
What am I okay with?
I'm okay with most types of RP, though mainly adventure, slice of life, mystery, combat, and some dark themes. I am okay with one-off and long-term RP. I'm also okay with romance and erotic topics as long as our characters have established a deeper connection than just a meeting here and there, and it isn't the only thing driving our RP.
Absolute no's!
Death, dismemberment, metagaming, doing things that require permission when it is not obtained, and any other basic stuff that should be considered NO.
How to get a hold of me...
You are more than welcome to send me a tell in-game. You can also send me a message at Tumblr. I also have a Discord but I'd prefer that we make first contact either in-game or on tumblr.
You said something about combat RP...
Yes. I am open to combat RP but I'd like it if we do a small bit of planning first. I am open to both dice rolls and non-dice rolls but let's discuss first.
