IC INFORMATION.
THANCRED WATERS
AGE: Early 30s! His birthday was just last month.
CANON: Final Fantasy XIV
CANON POINT: The end of garden variety 6.0, Endwalker. YOSHI-P WHEN WILL YOU LET ME SEE MY BOY AGAIN! WHEN!!!

ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER:
FFXIV's representative for the "white-haired rogue guy with daggers", Thancred is outwardly a loveable scoundrel and inwardly a Protector Alpha Wolf. Back home in canon he's just gotten done with saving the universe in concert with the colleagues of the guy who once possessed him and killed a bunch of his friends (awkward), and also got turned into an atmosphere. Double awkward.

With his adventures temporarily at an end on account of the universe successfully being saved, he's now trying to figure out what normal people do with the rest of their lives. To begin with, he's become a car owner and recently worked at one of the food stations at prom.

USEFUL LINKS: Permissions / Inbox / Application

CR YOU WANT:
Thancred right now is on a trajectory of figuring out what his life and future look like when the world isn't right on the verge of a catastrophic apocalypse and he and his friends aren't needed to go Save Everyone And Everything™, which is lending itself to a fair amount of reflection about who he is without his job and responsibilities that have basically defined his life up until this point.

Accordingly, I would love to cultivate CR with:
• Other people who are going through similar arcs!
• Others who've been through similarly traumatic experiences!
• People who might do well with having a kind of big-brother protector type around, and who he in return could eventually be a little protective and found-family about.
• People who will push him to try new things and opportunities! Area man needs to be dragged onto vacation kicking and screaming, etc.

CR YOU DON'T WANT:
I'm not looking for longterm negative CR! Short-term conflict, bickering, IC rudeness, and so on are all fine! However, I'm not in the market for lasting enemies, active persistent dislike, repeated negative encounters, that sort of thing.

PLOTTING & PLANS:
• He has a top-level at prom, for people looking for an opportunity to encounter him!
• I'm hoping to use the art gallery, whatever December's plot ends up being, and/or Daan's player plot as a means of making some of his buried backstory elements more visible! Specifically I'm hoping to touch on Ultima Thule and also Lahabrea possessing him (for the canon-familiar).
• He's already gotten the skyslipper back so my next buyback is probably going to be one of his weapons, either his gunblade or his daggers.
• Please give him friends, drinking buddies, workout companions, whatever.

HANDWAVED CR:
• If you were a prom attendee, you might've seen him flair bartending! Feel free to have seen him at Reno's food station throwing cups and bottles around like a pro juggler.
• He spends a lot of time at the university, particularly around the gym and athletic facilities! Swimming and the exercise machines are his general preference, though he sometimes shoots hoops for target practice too.
• He's started running more often, so you might see him on foot around the city in the mornings and evenings!
• Pitch me something! I love handwaved CR.

Ethan needs more drinking buddies like the desert needs the rain. Not just because he's dealing with a similar conundrum -- what does one do when they aren't needed to save the world from eternal darkness? Work security at the Host Club, of course! Man will regret his life choices when it turns out to be a babysitting gig with no fights. Sigh

HAHA EXCELLENT it's looking like Thancred will have some excuses to visit the Host Club, since he knows some people who work there — maybe that's how they can hit it off, is when he turns up and they start talking shop.

Hi, I'm Shesha! I'm here largely because of Alba hehe.

I would absolutely love to get Elidibus and Thancred some CR if you're up to it sometime!
onlythans: (💔 then aim for my heart if you feel like)

[personal profile] onlythans 2023-12-13 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Hi there! Thancred's prooooooooobably going to be less than thrilled to see Elidibus around, given the, y'know, all of his personal experiences with every time Elidibus shows up in the MSQ. It's so funny to me that the Ancients keep multiplying, he truly is an Ascian magnet.

Still, I'll keep my eyes out for opportunities where he could manage to be civil! I BELIEVE.

That's fine and reasonable, Elidibus is gonna kill him with kindness though. Don't worry about him being snarky or less than polite. Both Elidibus and I can take it!

At least Lahabrea hasn't shown up. That might be a LITTLE MUCH oh my goodness.

If they could ever actually be convinced to talk about it, I feel like Thancred and Jullus could bond a little over their various traumatic experiences? Or barring that just being the like. two local gunblade wielders, once I get Jullus his back.
