rule one. 21+ only, please.rule two. I will not do noncon or one-shots. I'm chill with relationships and hook-ups but fade to black should be expected from me. People get weird, man. Don't be weird.rule three. IC is not OOC, should go without saying.rule four. Dae explores a few 'darker' themes that may be considered triggering. He is also a very mildly lore-bending character. If this is an issue, there's nothing forcing us to interact.rule five. If any other issues ever come up, please come to me. I'm pretty tame and I would rather have the awkward conversation than allow negative feelings to fester. This is supposed to be fun for everyone and that can't happen without proper communication.rule six. Please do not use any information on this carrd, aside from the hooks, to meta anything without speaking with me first.

_{Carrd is always a WIP.}

info.Hi, hello! I'm 30+, married and have been RPing for over 20 years. Large crowds and new people make me anxious but I absolutely love walkups!discord. twixtboundroster. All my other idiots can be seen here. Feel free to msg me about any of them.

  name.    Dae.
  age.    101, he claims.
  race.    Sin'dorei.
  birthday.     October 26th.
  astrological sign.     Scorpio.
  gender.     Male.
  pronouns.     He/him.
  sexuality.     Pansexual, masculine leaning.
  height.     6'1.
  weight.     156 pounds.
  hair color.     Black.
  eye color.     Pale chartreuse.
  skin tone.     Pallid.
 piercings.   Labret, septum, & nippies.
  tattoos.   A double cross marks his left jugular in ink. Chrono and necromantic motifs crawl up his right leg. Geometric patterns and fractals cover both arms in full sleeves along with various other smaller tattoos on his hands and fingers.
  notable features.     His complexion is dusted with clusters of freckles and the scars on his back speak a tale that is all too common.
  job occupation.    If you ask him? Professional loiterer. Officially? Blade for hire/disposable asset.
  place of origin.     Quel'thalas.
  family.     Zalaena Sin'dal (sister).
  marital status.     Single.
  likes.     Water in any form other than drinking, thistle, bed rotting, fruits, tequila, guitar, subtlety, redheads.

  virtues.     Loyal, resilient, observant, adaptable, decisive, calm when it counts.
  flaws.     Paranoid, unconventionally greedy, acedia, self-destructive, guarded, cynical, haunted by duality.

  miscellaneous details.   Dae is nothing more than a survivor who refuses to be erased by a fate that still, after all this time, nips at his heels. Past events have left him with a strong distrust in the dragon flights and subsequently, the Dracthyr that have cropped up. Casual mentions of the Bronze flight can provoke a very noticeable shift in his demeanor and attitude.For all intents and purposes, he is an error. A glitch in an otherwise ordered system that should've been eradicated nearly a decade ago. Thanks to a bond he shared with a chronomancer and a deal she made, he's been left to wander unscathed, for now. Unware of what the cost of that deal was, however, her sudden disappearance two years ago does not bode well for the future.

combat

fighting style. Typically armed with a litany of concealed weapons, it’s not often he relies on them. If actually provoked into combat, he is an annoying, opportunistic little shit though he tends to prefer the role of punching bag. Nothing makes him happier than a well timed left hook. Despite his reluctance to fight, he is a master of his craft and won't think twice about knocking your ass out, or worse, should it come to that. Though it rarely ever does - the man is a passive freak and prone to hyperthermia. Don't be surprised if he starts stripping during a brawl. When the heat hits, what little modesty he has is the first to go.

blood

Disclaimer: I am only including this to get ahead of any claims of hand waving serious injuries. Communicate with me and I will make sure we're all satisfied with combative outcomes. ♥

appearance. Black in color and with a thin consistency, when drawn it almost looks as if someone dumped a bucket of oil rather than bled all over.
ability one. He can cleanse toxins from his body at will - no poisons, no lingering drugs, not even tequila hangovers stand a chance. It makes him effectively immune, and more than a little reckless.
ability two. It has regenerative properties that would make a full-blooded Troll blush.
ability three. Rumor has it he can manipulate it into solid objects. Even if stripped bare, he should never be considered completely unarmed.origins. Even he doesn't know, yet. Not fully.

headcanons

one. Dae suffers from absence seizures which lead to some really wild, vivid hallucinations that play into his paranoia though they are less common as of late.two. He has silent coping mechanisms for when he’s overwhelmed - he’ll knead against whatever is near, or fidget with the edges of his sleeves. The tremors never truly leave his fingers, whether they're from anxiety or the chill he can't shake.three. Dae is cold to the touch, body temperature naturally running lower than most of his kin. It's not enough to suggest undeath but if you've ever experienced a cold hand on your back, you probably understand the urge to pummel.four. He's slow to trust. A hand skimming his back might as well be a brand. A pinky brushing his can make him flinch and if it lingers? His face may remain calm but his brain is scrambling for an exit.five. Tired of questions concerning his mortality, he's started wearing tinted lip balm, bringing some color to an otherwise washed out face. Truthfully? It doesn't help much, he just likes the taste.six. He has some sort of deep, personal beef with onions.

hooks

one. Those who are magically inclined, namely with the inner workings of the soul may notice something is off with him. Pieces seem to have been carved out and it's as if he's been halved completely.two. If you're one of the few who remembers his thistle strains and hallucinogens from years ago - with a little coaxing, he might just start selling again.three. If you've caught sight of his blood, feel free to question him on it but expect to be talked in a circle.four. In the market for poisons or things of a medicinal nature? His name could've easily come up.five. Frequent visitors of the Darkmoon Faire prior to the discovery of Pandaria may remember him as a fire dancer/spinner though he's long given up the performer lifestyle.six. For my alliance friends - his face was a familiar one around Gilneas before the wall went up. He's also been spotted around Stormwind and other human camps periodically.

Zalaena
Cloudsworn

little sister - deceased. carrd.

summary. Her death left a hollow ache he doesn't know how to fill, a silence more brutal than any wound. He doesn’t speak of her often, not because he’s forgotten, but because the grief is too sacred, too raw. Everything he does now, every risk taken - every secret kept, is a small vow to her memory: a promise that he will endure, survive, and protect the ones she can no longer reach.
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ "Endala."

Xyphris
Zeddicus

boyfriend. carrd.

summary. There’s a stillness Dae only finds when Xyphris is around. Like his mind stops clawing at itself for a moment. Like his body stops remembering what it’s been through. Xy doesn’t fix him and he doesn’t try to. He just sees him and the weight eases. He stops bracing for impact. He breathes. He is the only thing that’s ever made him want to stay; the calm in the storm he never outran.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"Don't go anywhere. Stay with me."

Sophie
Saint-Saens

chosen sister. carrd.

summary. Time and time again, she has unknowingly lifted his head just enough above water that he could catch his breath again. He believes her to be the only truly good person in his life and cherishes her beyond words. Dae has killed in her name and would do so again, without question. Without pause.

Tristel
Litnes

friend. carrd.

summary. The man responsible for the majority of ink on Dae's body. A good friend with a keen ear, one that never hesitates to pull him out of whatever mental turmoil he has brewing at the time, often helping him turn that lunacy into something productive. The pair can frequently be spotted free-running along the peaks of Ul'dahs skyline.
.
.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"No matter the hour."

Harper
Delacroix

best friend. carrd.

summary. The strength of their relationship has ebbed and flowed over the past two years but the bond has always remained. Her faith in him has been the sole driving factor against his own listlessness and defeatist attitude. There likely isn't a thing on this star she could ask of him that he would refuse. The time surfing with her has been a light in his dark.
ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ"You, I'd have you just be yourself."

Arken
Rennatta

baby girl. carrd.

summary. Dae was certain the man had a permenant stick up his ass upon meeting him. Over time, he's learned first impressions aren't always meant to be written in stone. Few know more about his past than Arken, even as little as it may be and Dae values his opinion and advice above all others.
Now if he would just...
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ apply...
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤthat wisdom...

Kol
Aska

friend.

summary. Usually thinking himself on the same wavelength as Kol in all things security and subterfuge, he trusts the man fully in keeping those around them safe and secure. Dae becomes a lot less closed off around the Veena, spilling whatever is on his mind and is ecstatic to have him back in his life.
.

Riley
Zeddicus

friend. carrd.

summary. History simmers between them though neither seem readily willing to speak openly on it around their comrades. Some days it's like gazing into some weird, fucked up mirror. Other times he finds himself wanting to wring her neck, bickering like an old married couple. Don't say that to either of them though, unless you've brought a sickbag.
.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ"For you, I would."

Raffe
Mercer

trauma buddy. carrd.

summary. Altered by forces beyond their control, they get each other in a way few others can, even if they don't talk about it often. They aren't particularly close but there's a quiet trust between them - just two people walking parallel paths, occasionally crossing and each carrying their own burdens with a similar kind of silence.

Lilah
Rivers

friend. carrd.

summary. Dae was immediately drawn to Lilah with an inexplicable urge to protect her, be it from creepy men or simply making sure she had clean pants. As time crawls on, she's helping him overcome a learned bias that a soft face and voice doesn't always mean someone is incapable. That said, his hand will always be there for her when she needs it.
.

The
Almasi's

friends. carrd. carrd.

summary. Dae shares a warm, easy camaraderie with the siblings. Lavender intrigues him with her sharp mind and unapologetic ambition - he enjoys her company, even with the subtle scheming. Caeden, for his part, never fails to make Dae laugh with the casual flirtation and he wears the title of 'Second Favorite Twink' with pride. Though his interactions with The Almasi's are often playful or business-adjacent, Dae treasures both of them, not just as patrons but as trusted fixtures in his life.

Fox
Kurai

friend. carrd.

summary. A gremlin. A demon. An absolute maniac; and yet there's a comfort in her chaos. Fox has quickly become his favorite person to turn to for any and all half-brain ideas that come to him, whether that be a cheese ball grenade launcher or life-saving treatments that keep him from withering and everything in between. Tristel subdues his mania. Fox helps him thrive in it, for better or worse and he's laid his life in her hands.

Tristan
Solianteaux

friend. carrd.

summary. There's an unspoken respect there. One that bloomed long ago when Dae witnessed the man voice his opinion, full-chested, time and time again. Never afraid to speak his mind, Dae admires him. After opening the doors of his home to Dae during a time of need, he has made it a personal goal to get closer to the captain. There's still so much he's yet to see.
.

Fimmer
Nihm

fr-..friend? carrd.

summary. Dae's relationship with Fiver is friendly but complicated. He knows the viera means well and doesn't mind his company but the man seems intent on pushing Dae's boundaries at times. He keeps a cautious distance emotionally, laughing things off while quietly hoping Fiver won’t push too far. The ravine can only fit so many bodies, after all. That said, Dae would likely be the first to break the arm of anyone who messes with the viera.
