LFRP - Evander Winsome
Perpetually trapped between a sense of idleness and reckless, impulsive abandon, Evander never met a bad idea he didn’t want to take out to dinner. He’s done his level best to leave a dark past behind, but he can’t help it if the air feels cooler and the light a little brighter when you’re standing in the shade. It used to be that every day broke with him begging the question “Just how bored do I wanna be?” Now, he can’t seem to catch a godsdamn break. That’s okay though, theft adventure keeps the ennui at bay.
THE BASICS –––
Name: Evander Winsome
Age: 27
Nameday: 12th Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon
Race: Midlander Hyur
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Good, though he’s not always convinced on the “Good” part.
Marital Status: “It’s complicated. I mean, it’s not complicated to me, but everyone else seems to think it is."
Server: Balmung
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE –––
Hair: Chestnut Brown; looks to be in perpetual need of a trim
Eyes: Amber
Height: 5′9
Build: Evander has a swimmer’s physique: Long, lean, broad-shouldered and tapering to a narrow waist. Given his lifestyle, he might have trouble maintaining that as he gets older, but for now he’s gifted with a metabolism that lets him get away with precious little intentional maintenance.
Common Accessories: Far too many flasks; ignition keys and controls for various vehicles and small automata; his drone, Valencia; his dumb hat; a gold pendant in the shape of a swan, its neck crooked long; lockpicks; a multitool or three.
PERSONAL –––
Profession: Evander will admit to being a courier, a searcher, a seeker, a finder or something along those lines. If you need something, he can track it down and get it from one place to another. He doesn’t think of himself as much of a fighter, but he’s growing more comfortable with bodyguard work. He’s also a picklock, a safecracker and a burglar, though he’s not as quick to advertise all that.
Hobbies: He loves being around people, and he loves indulging. As far as he’s concerned, drinking and eating count as hobbies. Left to his own devices, he’s a tinker, an avid reader (particularly of romance novels, particularly the works of Quill Quivers [@worldofquillquivers] and Summer Bellmayne [@thefreelanceangel]), and often fond of especially stupid wagers, though straightforward gambling doesn't interest him as much.
Languages: He’s only fluent in Eorzean Common but he knows a smattering of Old Elezen and loves picking up bits and pieces of whatever he can along the way.
Residence: His Goblet apartment is under near-constant renovation. He’s got a room he rents from his Free Company, but it’s barely furnished aside from an astonishing array of liquor bottles, shipping crates and a huge canopy bed.
Birthplace: Limsa Lominsa
Patron Deity: He’s always personally felt a call toward Nymeia and Byregot, but feels its his duty to venerate Oschon, for some reason. He doesn’t much like to talk about it.
RELATIONSHIPS –––
Spouse: “I thought we went over this?”
Children: “Gods, I hope not.”
Parents: “Never knew ‘em.”
Siblings: “My brother raised me. I wish he was still here. You’d have liked him.”
Other Relatives: “Nope. None that I know of. That whole ‘orphan’ thing, y’know?”
Pets: “I take care of a monstrous, wonderful little sheep named Doctor One and a surprisingly intelligent smallshell named Saint Barnabus, who seems to have recently taken on another crab named Klaus as a tenant. There’s also my little drone, Valencia. A lot of people might not count her, but I do.”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION –––
Smoking Habit: Definitely not a habit. He might take something if offered, but he won’t seek it out on his own and he’s more likely to politely decline.
Drugs: Yes. Not anything and everything, and not all the time, but yes. Doors were made to be open, and that includes the doors of perception.
Alcohol: Evander doesn’t have a drinking problem except for when he can’t get a drink.
RP HOOKS –––
Contemptible Youth: Evander grew up amongst a gang of orphans in Limsa Lominsa. Were you a fellow Limsan wharf rat? Were you a criminal? Did you just spend a lot of time in the wrong parts of town? It’s been a while, but you might recognize him.
Easy Mark: Evander often finds it easier to fly under the radar and avoid notice. To this end, he often tries to exude an air of hapless gullibility. Feel free to try and rope him into some con or scheme!
Yeah, Okay: These are Evander’s words to live by. It’s not that he can’t say no, so much as he’s learned that “yes” is usually the more interesting answer. Catch him in the right mood, and he’s likely to go along with almost any hare-brained plan.
Old Habits Die Hard: A part of him yearns to live a good, decent, upright life. The problem is that part of him gets bored very quickly. Lately, he’s found himself increasingly likely to drawn to less-than-legal endeavors to keep himself occupied.
People Person: Whether it’s meeting someone new, getting to know an old friend better, or even making a new rival, frenemy or worse, he just loves people at the end of the day. Don’t be shy. You don’t need an excuse. Just come say hi!
CONTACT INFORMATION –––
It’s not too hard to get a hold of me through tumblr. I mean, you’re already here, aren’t you? Just shoot me a message!
If you see me in game, I love walk ups, drive-bys, tells, whatever! Please, by all means feel free to say something, whether you want to interact in character or just say hi! It almost always makes my day.
I have Discord and I usually really like RPing there, though I kind of like to get to chat a little through another venue first. I sometimes, very rarely, wander through one of the big Discord servers out there, and if you find me out in the wild you can feel free to say hi there, too.
Finally, I’m based in the US (CST, GMT-6) but work most weeknight evenings and spend much of my weekends doing TTRPG stuff. My work is often flexible that I can chat or RP, or even get in game from time to time, but it's not always a given. It might sound like I'm hard to get a hold of, but I'm almost always happy to have a chat. If you catch me in game, you should definitely come say hello!

Evander wakes up every day with a very difficult decision at the forefront of his mind: ”How bored do I want to be?” He’s always waffling between trying to luxuriate in idleness and trying to combat a sense of nearly existential boredom with dangerous adventures and risky schemes. Luckily, hedonism can pull double duty and keep both impulses at bay.
THE BASICS –––
Name: Evander Winsome
Age: 25
Nameday: 12th Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon
Race: Midlander Hyur
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Good, though he’s not convinced of the “Good” part.
Marital Status: “Why, are you asking? You could at least buy me a drink first!”
Server: Balmung
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE –––
Hair: Sandy brown
Eyes: Amber
Height: 5′9
Build: Evander has a swimmer’s physique: Long, lean, broad-shouldered and tapering to a narrow waist. Given his lifestyle, he might have trouble maintaining that as he gets older, but for now he’s gifted with a metabolism that lets him get away with precious little intentional maintenance.
Common Accessories: An old, battered flask full of something fancy; a silver coin, etched with the symbol of Oschon on one side, Nymeia on the other; that stupid hat; a domino mask; a pendant in the shape of a swan; a decoy coin pouch full of rocks; more money than sense
PERSONAL –––
Profession: Evander used to be pretty upfront about not having a job, until he noticed how many questions and hassles that invited. If pressed about it, he’ll say he’s something like a procurer or a finder, that he makes a living locating things for people that are hard to come by or difficult to find. He’ll never refer to himself as an adventurer, but if someone else calls him one, he won’t usually argue.
Hobbies: First and foremost, Evander likes to indulge. He wants rich food and richer drink, and typically, more of it than he can safely handle. Beyond that, he often finds himself wasting as much time as possible, until the boredom finally overwhelms him and he has to throw himself into some harebrained scheme. Though he doesn’t advertise it, he’s an avid reader, an occasional tinker and if you catch him in the right mood, far too willing to engage in stupid wagers for even stupider stakes.
Languages: He only seems to be fluent in Eorzean common, but he loves picking up bits and pieces of other languages wherever he can.
Residence: He has an apartment in the Goblet, but it’s under constant renovations. He’s half-considering moving back to Limsa Lominsa, but every time he seriously considers it, something tells him not to.
Birthplace: Limsa Lominsa
Patron Deity: If you ask him, he’ll tell you Oschon. If you get enough drinks in him, he’ll tell you that he’s always personally felt a stronger connection to Nymeia, but feels like it’s his duty to venerate Oschon. Asking him further just makes him drink further.
RELATIONSHIPS –––
Spouse: “Wow, you’re really focused on this, aren’t you?”
Children: “Nope.”
Parents: “Never knew ‘em.”
Siblings: “I was raised by my brother. Shame he’s not here, you’d have liked him.”
Other Relatives: None that he knows of.
Pets: Evander takes care of Doctor One. It’s not quite clear whether he’s a therapy sheep, or a therapist sheep, but he’s well cared for regardless.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION –––
Smoking Habit: He doesn’t smoke if left to his own devices, but if you put something in front of him, yeah, he’ll probably smoke it. Drugs: Yes.Maybe not everything, and maybe not all the time, but yes. Alcohol: Drinking plays a prominent role in Evander’s life, for better or worse.
RP HOOKS –––
Miserable Youth: When he was growing up in Limsa Lominsa, Evander was part of a gang of orphans. Were you a criminal? A fellow orphan? Just someone who spent a lot of time in the bad parts of town? You might recognize him.
Easy Mark: Whether it's his easy demeanor or something about his appearance, people often expect Evander to be a gullible rube. While it can be frustrating, he's found it occasionally useful to be underestimated. Feel free to try and rope him into your cons and schemes!
Old Habits Die Hard: Evander wants to be a good person, he really does... But that's hard when you're this bored. It won't take much to pull him back to his old life: just the promise of something exciting and the suggestion that the only victims are probably deserving.
I don’t have a drinking problem except when I can’t get a drink: Need a drinking buddy? So does he.
Yeah, Okay: Evander tends to be very agreeable. Catch him in the right mood. and he’ll roll with almost anything, It’s not that he can’t say “no,” so much as it’s just that “yes” is often the more interesting reply.
People Person: At the end of the day, Evander just likes people. He likes meeting people. He likes getting to know people. He likes liking people. Hell, he even likes not liking people. So feel free to pull up a chair and have a chat.
CONTACT INFORMATION –––
If you see me in game, absolutely feel free to walk up and say hi, or just shoot me a tell. I’m almost always happy to RP, and even if you catch me when I’m not, I like to think of myself as a pretty friendly person. Come say hi! Outside of game, feel free to reach out to me here on tumblr! Admittedly, I don’t really know what I’m doing here yet, so please be patient if I don’t get back to you immediately or if I screw something up.
I have discord and I like to use it both to RP and just to chat, but I’d probably like to get to know you before I give it out, and I’d definitely like our characters to have a chance to meet in game before we RP there.
Finally, I don’t have the most convenient schedule. I’m US-based, central time zone (yaaay midwestern life), but I work the night shift. So you’ll often find me online at weird times. I’ll be on through the night if I have the night off, and I’m usually on early in the mornings, right after I get off work. Sometimes you’ll find me on in the evenings, before work, but that’s pretty iffy, to be honest. But any time you see me, feel free to say hi!
