16Personalities: The Protagonist

A personable goof with a fairly even temperament, Dacian is a man who can make friends easily. Fond of living life in the moment, he is one who seems to lead a fairly simple life: he has little desire to acquire wealth beyond what's necessary, he has no ambitions to lead men, and he seems perfectly happy being a weapon for hire that people can point to whom- or whatever they decide to pay for, provided he likes the job. Though he seems content with being a cog in this star's machine, Dacian is not without scruples. While he does not speak much about his origins, he is a formidable soldier and one clearly from lowborn roots; as such, he doesn't take injustices against those with less power well and thinks little of getting into fisticuffs with people if their behavior bugs him.A soldier through and through, Dacian has spent the greater part of his life embroiled in or seeking conflict, hardly staying still to ever really set roots in any individual place.

GOOD-HUMORED
Usually not one to worry himself too much over the past nor the future, Dacian is often able to find merriment in the present. He prefers to laugh and drink over muck around in regrets, and he likes to spread this over his company, as well. If a man is meant to die in the next moment, best go out with a smile on his face, no?
LOYAL
Once someone makes a friend of Dacian, they will find him to be fiercely loyal. Unless it puts him in imminent danger, the man will not leave his squad or friend to fend for themselves. That's not to say he won't ditch someone if they prove themselves to not be worthy of that loyalty, however. Betrayal is not unknown to him.
PASSIONATE
Going along with his tendency to live life in the present, Dacian does little to reign in his passions. He seems unafraid to feel and express what comes to his core, though that does not mean he is simple. His path in life has taught him there is little sense in holding back too much.

DRAWN TO BATTLE - A SOLDIER
Combat is Dacian's lifeblood. It is what he knows, what he is good at, and what he finds peace in. In battle, it's all or nothing, where skill and will equalize anything that had been tipped by gil or more fortunate birth circumstances - or, that was the mindset he began with. Since then, he's learned that war is anything but equal - but it is still his call in life. His purpose. And he will seek it out.
NONCOMMITTAL
Due to his intimate tie to being a soldier and drawn to conflict, Dacian knows that he will die any day, any time. As such, he does not make plans that are meant to last, with people or places. His only commitment is to himself and his ideals.
JUST
Dacian has lived a life where he has seen a great many injustices. As he grew and honed his skill in combat, he has also been able to hone his sense of justice - and it is hardly something that follows established laws, which are written by those in power - those invariably that would not think about what was truly just.

DISCLAIMER
If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell, letting me know. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion.
I will not entertain drama llamas. Full stop. I'm old and moldy and do not have time to deal with problem-escalations during my happyrelax funtimes.Speaking of old and moldy, yes, I'm 40+, have a full time job, and help caretake for an older individual. I understand life can get in the way, so I ask for the same consideration.

PERSONAL RP LIMITS
I will play mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. Coarse and excessive language. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment.
PM me before initiating a walk-up encounter, or I might panic and hope you think I'm afk and leave. I have strong Stranger Danger.Ask about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment.I won't play permanent character death, anything mature-themed with players under 20. Nothing against players who may be more mature than their age; it's more a personal thing for me, since I work with young'uns up to age 19.CONTACT
