PERSONALITY
Once anyone meets Spike for the first time, they'll probably think that he's fairly pleasant and easy to get along with. Perhaps this in itself is a façade because many people will later find that he can either be very pleasant or insufferable. This is mainly due to his confidence. He has a rather silent confidence about him, as he is sure of himself about 99% of the time. This comes as a result of studying for a long time and the treatment that he received from his parents. He rebelled against their wishes in that they wanted Spike to become a soldier for The Immortal Flames while he wanted to pursue the aetheric arts.
Spike can also be rather flirty with anyone he finds attractive, no matter what race and clan. He appreciates attractiveness and will not be afraid to let you know if you look good and perhaps even make advances towards you if he has deemed it safe to do so.
However, Spike is a dangerous man and is not afraid to do dangerous or unlawful things. If he gets a thrill out of it despite breaking the law, he will do it. He has snuck in The Carteneau Flats many times for "research" despite the fact that no one is allowed there, save for members of the three grand companies. Additionally, he also knowledge-hungry and knows it will get him in trouble someday. At this point, he doesn't really care because he feels like he has gone too deep.

HOOKS• About 10-15 years ago, Spike (then a late teenager) ran away to Limsa Lominsa to extensively study Arcanism. Perhaps you knew him during your time there?• Around that same time that Spike ran away to Limsa Lominsa, he took to the axe and became a Marauder just to spite his parents.• If you were/are an Immortal Flames soldier, you’d likely have heard Captain Teague say what a huge pain in the ass his eldest son was before The Calamity took place.• Are you a traveler by any chance? Especially in dangerous places? If you have a character that somehow found their way to Carteneau (Carteneau is supposed to be closed off to the general public), you may have seen Spike there. Likely wearing some… kind of weird robe and a tome.• Are you involved with The Sons of Saint Coinach? There was some sort of… inventory count discrepancy regarding relics they have discovered while traversing around the open area of Mor Dhona. Some special stone and several tomes have been left unaccounted for, for years. Regardless, Spike is known to have helped them on their excavations from time to time.• Because of Spike’s talents with the aetheric arts, he can easily ride the aether anywhere in Eorzea, including Gyr Abania once he ventures there. This allows him to be anywhere that he needs to be. (Within reason, of course.)

QUIRKS• His azure hair is not natural. You'll probably see the roots are blond.
• Likes discussions about most anything with wine or whiskey
• Will try anything once
• Always in the pursuit of knowledge
• High self-esteem, perhaps too high sometimes
• Loves travelling
• He has eyes that no one can tell whether it's green or blue.

CONNECTIONS

These are people that Spike has a connection with.


Alistair Durant
The main retainer for the Teague Estate, Spike entrusted all important matters and employment to Alistair while he was away for 3 years. Having been a retainer since Spike was only a pre-teen, this is one man that Spike has full trust and confidence in. Much to Spike's chagrin, Alistair is immune to his compliments and always laughs it off.


More to come.

OOC

About me..?
Hey everyone. How's it going? Thanks for stopping by and checking out Spike. I'm in the Pacific time zone of the US. (GMT -8) I'm usually on during the evenings Sun-Wed and sporadically on 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.
