History

Shahrokh Bahador grew up an orphan who spent his childhood labored nearly to the red. The foster homes he found himself across Gyr Albania treated the curious child as a servant; though his ignorance and naivete were in short supply, he obeyed and as he grew, resentment and bitterness left him violent, impulsive, and emotionally repressed.His callousness and morally bankrupt demeanor was a winning resume, and Shahrokh spent decades walking from scenes of tragedy brought by his hands. It came to a heated peak when he had a repeated dream of immortality: He walked atop heaps of writhing, dying bodies which bowed to him as entropy set in.Until the nightly assault, Shahrokh had felt nary a hair of guilt for his actions. Yet, he succumbed to the deepening appetite of his sleep's theatrics, the veteran assassin found himself resigned to finding everlasting life, a seed planted which bloomed into hopes the wretchedness of his past would bury itself. The realization of sitting forever with the devastation he wrought strays behind him now while he busies himself with anything and everything he can to keep from thinking.The Viera proudly forged his way through temperance and disquiet in his homeland to emerge from the too oft idealized lands of Eorzea, and desperately reshaped his history by weaving his company with new facts born of his old tales. He still finds himself hoping the crimson will truly wash from hard-working, calloused fingers one day.His ends are now met with quieted discipline; Shahrokh is a savvy handyman and prideful mechanic. He struggles to resist deep desires to return to a hedonistic and vicious lifestyle underneath it all: the path of least resistance is ever alluring, but so far, knowing full well it could bring the well-hidden bodies erupting through his party-boy, care-free veneer has kept him in line.

Hooks

  • Small Talk Conoisseur: Shahrokh loves small talk and pleasantries. If you're not sure how to start, send me a tell and I'll have him engage as such.

  • Stroked Ego: He's tall, he's friendly, he's charming, and he'll lay it on thick with his silver-tongued, saccharine flirtatiousness if you pay him a compliment.

  • Sour Patch Shahrokh: Shahrokh dislikes sweets, but craves tart foods and bitter drinks.

  • Flawed Furniture: His inspection and judging of architecture, craftsmanship, and general construction quality is obsessive and near constant if he isn't engaged in an attention-demanding activity.

  • Asthmatic Hyena: Again, his laugh is a straight-up guffaw -- his entire body will be absorbed with it, even if it's a small chuckle.

  • Workaholic: Shah is always looking for jobs -- blue collar labor usually, but his interest will scale with the intricacies or complexity of the job -- in exchange for gil, of course. He even enjoys doing mundane tasks like plumbing fixes, retiling, and etc.

Out of Character Info

  • No racism, transphobia, sexism, queer-phobia, xenophobia, misogyny, ableism, bigotry, or any punching down. I'm very intolerant of bigotry and I'm not nice about it; sorry not sorry.

  • Para-RP is #1 but my default is to mirror both length and mood. I love the entire spectrum of RP moods -- serious to silly. If you want to set a specific tone, I will adapt.

  • I am happy to RP via Discord for long-term stories (or if in-game is not accessible for a planned session).

  • 🎵If you wanna RP with me, you gotta be 21+🎵.

  • No murdering Shahrokh. Mild to moderate injury is usually okay, and can be discussed.
