Profession: Private Investigator
Server: Balmung
A rather quiet man, Wrex prefers to watch and listen rather than make himself the center of attention. Contemplative by nature, he waits until he has something to say before he speaks, and will happily remain silent when he does not. When he does speak up, his words are usually marked by dry sarcasm and a laconic wit, his once-silver tongue somewhat tarnished by cynicism but still as quick as ever.
Physically, Wrex is well on his way towards transitioning into middle age. Tiny flecks of gray have begun to infiltrate his beard and hair, and a pair of thick-framed glasses are now all but mandatory in order for him you navigate the world. Still, some might consider him handsome in a world-weary sort of way, and the bearish physique so common among his kind has not quite started to erode. Yet.
Background
Orphaned as an infant, Wrex was raised in Limsa Lominsa by his adoptive father — a Hyur naval officer in the Maelstrom armada. His young life was comfortable by relative standards, and unlike many, he enjoyed the privilege of a formal education.
Once old enough, he followed his surrogate father into the Maelstrom — first as a seaman, and then later, when a combat injury limited his physical abilities, as an intelligence officer. He was thrice married over the years, and twice divorced. The early and unexpected death of his third wife ultimately led him to retire from the navy and find fullfillment elsewhere, away from old ghosts.
Eventually he would land in Ul'dah, and began a second career there as private detective. This new work has been as varied as it has been successful, and his services are generally available to anyone with an interesting mystery and a modest amount of coin to spend solving it.
Hooks
Grizzled Gumshoe: Wrex primarily makes his living as a private detective, and is well-established in Ul'dah. It is likely that anyone in need of his services there would have heard of him. Given his profession, he is likely to have crossed paths with all manner of unscrupulous individuals, so any thieves, smugglers, street urchins or mercenaries may have interacted with him in the past.
The Old Man and the Sea(Wolf): Wrex spent much of his earlier life as a seaman and officer in the Maelstrom. Other current or former members of the Maelstrom may be familiar with him, especially if they have similar service records. If your character is a pirate with a public reputation, Wrex may have heard of them as well.
Caught in the Quicksand: The Quicksand has become a bit of a 'hub' for Wrex's business dealings, and he can often be found 'looming' somewhere in the background. If your character likes to gossip, he might just be interested in shooting the shit. After all, a good detective is an informed detective.
OOC
21+ player with 10ish years of experience RPing. I'm US-based (UTC-6), and available in-game most evenings. I'm also available on Discord most of the time, but prefer to RP in-game whenever possible.
As far as RP goes, I don't have many limits. I mostly just try to adhere to the lore, and appreciate other players who do so as well. If you're able to do that, and can respect IC/OOC separation, then we'll probably get along great!
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, but keep in mind that I keep these carrds brief for a reason; if a question is better answered IC than OOC, I'm gonna make you work for it.
