So I'd like to start making some connections with you evil people. Although in order to do that I need to know what sort of illegal stuff is going on (Especially in the Ul'dah area). So in order to make new connections lets bring an evil thread where we can talk about what your character does and who they work with! Personally, here are some things I'm hoping to find:

Do you guys think some of the potions would be illegal? Is it lore appropriate to also have drug-type potions that sell for lots, ruin lives, and make tons of money? While I understand there being potions to help people when they cross enemies, lets be honest. Will an adventurer rip out a sleeping potion and try to spoon feed it to an enemy when they're ambushed? When they're being stabbed at are they seriously going to try and slowly poison their attacker to death? I think it would be much more likely for people to be sleeping a pretty girl at the bar, or poisoning someone quietly as a way to murder without getting caught. And if these potions 1OO% are legal, do you think most places would sell some of the dangerous, questionable potions that are obviously more likely to be used in order to break laws and bring harm to people?
And if it is illegal/hard to get your hands on dangerous potions. DOES YOUR CHARACTER SELL ANY? I NEED MY FIX.

In the story quest, the BLM we meet is studying up with books and having a really difficult time making progress until he meets the three beast tribesmen who join him in his journey where his inching turns to leaps and bounds. Is your character a black mage? Are they interested in becoming a black mage? Are they currently doing bad black mage stuff or have any desire to be messing with the void for any reason? Is there already some secret black mage cult-like deal that I dunno about yet? Lets play with the void, bruh.

Are you a generic mercenary/thug/street rat who'd basically do anything for a buck? Are you a badass who will only murder people? Or if I offered you a few thousand gil to clean my house would you be all over that? I basically like hearing if hand-for-hire type characters have a line the draw when they're given jobs. I'd also like to hear where you typically get your work from. Is there a group somewhere people can put in requests? Do you put up posters? Do you walk around begging people to do anything for a meal? How would I know you're for hire ICly?

Do you sell something bad? Perhaps illegal potions. Perhaps you're in the slaver business. Perhaps you're shipping over weapons from The Garlean Empre. Perhaps you ship stolen goods. Blah blah blah. I wanna know what type of underground businesses we might have ICly by played characters.

Is your character being blackmailed into doing things they don't want to? Would they make a good eternal slave if I threatened to kill everyone they loved? Oh sorry I'm getting ahead of myself aren't I? No but seriously. I love blackmailing people into doing dark things they wouldn't normally. If you're interested in a situation like that then come at me, bro. If you are already in a situation like that, what are the specifics and how did it start?Â
O t h e r
Oh sweet! You're something that I couldn't think of off the top of my head? TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT PLS I WANT TO PLOT WITH YOU TOO.
