Hello there! Edited this a bit as I've added in more people to look for and straightened a few things out.
Here's a little about the character.

I've got a whole bunch of characters I'd like to establish some sort of IC connection with. Rather than fill my character's background with people who only exist in writing, I'd like to see if anyone could naturally fit into the roles, or if there's a role someone could fit into if there were a few changes.
What do we get out of it? Naturally, more people and friends to RP with and the chance to bring our character's history to life a little better. I've left all this pretty brief since I'd rather not go into too many details - if you're interested, I can elaborate on whatever you want to know more about.
First - a Sister!
If you have a female miqo'te character and wanted a brother for her, this could be one way to go about it. Damien's sister is an important figure to him. Shortly before their tribe collapsed, she carried Damien - who was a sickly kid at the time, to Ul'dah, and left him in the hands of a healer. She vanished afterwards, and he's been looking for her ever since then, though with barely any information about where she went.
Her appearance, what she's like, where she went, and even her name are all things I've left intentionally blank in the hopes that I could find a player to take up this familial role. Ideally the character would be in her 20s, and likely to have a name beginning with J. Naturally, if you've got any cool ideas I'd love to hear them out.
Second - victims or relatives of victims!
If your character has suffered the death of someone close to them, this might open up an interesting opportunity to find the killer behind it. After getting to Ul'dah life didn't get much better and Damien became quite a crook - turning to a life of crime to pay his way. Along the way he got rid of plenty of people - innocent merchants and citizens, Brass Blades, young or old, rich or poor, anyone he had to.
Third - Old Ul'dahn contacts!
Since he spent a long time working within Ul'dah's dark underbelly I figure Damien would know all sorts of people, be it merchants, information brokers, Flames soldiers, and in particular the other poor folk who loitered round the cities' less welcoming alleyways. As for how they could know him, that could be decided between us entirely since it's very open - though they'd probably know him as a dusty street-dweller with a knack for stealing and a lot of secrets.
Naturally if anyone has questions, I'll do what I can to answer!
Note: I'm in the UK so my time of play might be incompatible for some people.
Here's a little about the character.
Damien is a young adult miqo'te, living under an obviously assumed name. He looks to have lived a challenging life so far under the Thanalan sun so far, with a cross-shaped scar and claw-like burn wound marring his left cheek, though that hasn't dulled the glimmer in his eyes.Â
At an earlier age, Damien lead a regretful life committed to evil and profit - but having reached his lowest point and surviving the trials it took to claw his way out, Damien finds himself in a better place as a trusting, helpful person. He is loyal to his friends, and would prefer to let people walk over him or talk down to him rather than stir up trouble. Whilst he can fight, he abhors it and instead tries to resolves conflict without it. He finds it hard to disguise his feelings, inadvertently making him honest.
His life so far has left him lacking in certain respects. He is not so well learned in books or history, and is without learning in use of magic beyond basic use of his pitiable amounts of aether. He has no real marketable skills to make money with, or even hobbies to enjoy. However, Damien's wits were tested on the streets of Ul'dah and he knows people and how they think, and in his own strange cleverness finds ways to get by all the same.
He takes pleasure in the simple things - naps by the beach, gambling, and eating tasty food after years of rough living. He does, however, continue to prepare himself for the times a fight will come to him whether he wants it to or not, as history is want to repeat itself and mistakes of the past may come back to haunt him.
