I am open to making connections for Alderique Valeriant, my main, and only character on Balmung. The wiki link in my signature has the best details about him, but some pointers on his current trajectory:
- He feels a bit lost, and might be looking for a new direction, possibly returning to some of his roots from his Gridania days. This could include being outdoors more, hunting, fishing, and conjury.
- He is still a hedonist, but may be deviating from his desires to become wealthy, and may be practicing more self control over time.
- Friends. Since joining this server, I've made a number of IC and OOC friends, and am pleased with the experience. I wouldn't mind meeting some more characters IC, preferably to get involved in more active roleplay out and about in the world, to break up some of the tavern interaction. I prefer 1-on-1 and small group RP over large events, due to textwall stress and difficulties following the activity.
- Lovers. I like to develop relationships with other characters by chance, most of the time, whether they be one-nighters, flings, short-term or long-term romances. Realistically I know they are not always easy to come by, so I'm pointing out that this is an interest of mine! I'm a male playing a male who is interested in males, for the record.
- Mentors/sparring partners. IC, Alderique is deviating a bit from his lust for gil and looking to train harder and better himself. He has begun taking conjury lessons again for the first time since he was a teenager, but would also be interested in finding some sparring partners (both for him to practice IC, and me to practice writing it). I'm open to the idea of having mentors to teach him any of the following: archery, dagger/shortsword combat (he usually has schimitars equipped), staves (for physical combat with a conjurer's staff).
- Employers. Alderique works all kinds of odd jobs to get by, so a few things might be up his alley. He can and has done mercenary work, though prefers to hunt and fight creatures rather than having to kill other people. He can take on delivery work if necessary, but prefers jobs that offer a high reward for his effort. He would also be open to escort work, whether to provide protection or to provide company for social events and private interaction. It should be noted, that while he would be very happy to be a charming and flirtatious host, this sort of arrangement would be non-sexual.

But you're more than welcome to still stop by, there should be some folks around to role-play with!
