Physical Appearance ––
Hair: Golden blonde with a long, loosely tied ponytail, right side is braided with a bit of a side shave/fade
Eyes: Amber
Height: 6”1’ (About 185 cm)
Build: Broad shouldered and overly tall for a Miqo’te. His upper body has a distinguished V-shape and his waist is rather trim. Powerful legs round out the well-trained look.
Distinguishing Marks: The first and most obvious marking on his body is a scar that runs down a good portion of his right eye. As for the rest of him, his entire body is almost covered in tattoos with a very unique design. Each one bears a similarity to patterns found on Garlean technology and some may even be of Allagan origin.
Common Accessories: You will never catch Nyx without cigarettes, a lighter, and some sort of firearm, usually his gunblade with the words “Saving Grace” etched on the side of it.
Personal –––
Profession: Originally, Nyx worked as a weaponsmith with his father when they relocated to Gridania, but it wasn’t long after he’d left his family for Ul’dah that he took on the very common job of mercenary. He still holds that title now, but his jobs are varied and not quite as traumatic.
Hobbies: Smoking, people watching, climbing the highest shit, and building firearms and adaptive armors.
Languages: Common Eorzean
Residence: Nomadic, but lives temporarily in an apartment above a bar in the Brume, Ishgard.

Additional information –––
Smoking Habit: Nyx smokes like a chimney and is unashamed by it. In fact, he’s been known to light up near people and received many looks from it, unaware that he was even being rude.
Drugs: While he’s tried pretty much everything under the sun, he’s much more partial to keeping his wits about him and not relying on the crazy stuff to get his rocks off.
Alcohol: Having been a bartender for many seasons when he wasn’t working his actual jobs, Nyx has been known to imbibe on occasion. He could probably even be considered an alcoholic due to his reliance on the stuff when he’s in a shit mood. His favorites are rum, whiskey, and ale.
RP Hooks –––
Mercenary: At 35 seasons, Nyx has been a mercenary for quite a while... starting when he was just 19 seasons. His experience is rather varied and expansive, but most interesting is who he’s worked for in the past. Perhaps when offered the right information in return, he’d be willing to divulge more information.
Adaptive Armor: Nyx has recently begun a development on what he calls “adaptive armor”. So far he’s managed to create a weapon system that allows his gun to shift into not only a piece of armor, but other weapons as well. While not as strong as their original counterparts (yet), his designs allow for a great degree of mobility and versatility. Because of the nature of the weapons, he has a great deal of experience with Magitek armor and prosthetics, as well as creating weaponry for persons lacking the aether to power their own weapons of choice.
Tattoos: This Miqo’te is bone too shy about sharing his love of getting his body inked. Often going sleeveless with fitted tank tops, it would be easy to see them at basically any given time. If one is observant, they might recognize the importance of these tattoos and what their actual purpose is... and those geometric patterns might not just be for show... one could say they almost flicker with energy.
Garlean Influence: While usually reluctant to admit it on any level, there is something about Nyx’s behaviors and fighting style that are reminiscent of a certain Empire. With enough trust and prodding, it’s possible he might divulge these reasons to the right person.
Heavy Accent: If his mouth is open, this one is incredibly obvious. While many Miqo’te hailing from the desert have an accent of their own, Nyx’s own came from an amalgamation of voice heard while staying in Ul’dah. When angry or irritated, it grows thicker and sometimes unintelligible. (It’s Scottish. Think Gerard Butler!)
Contact Information & OOC –––

I would love to meet all sorts of IC contacts for character development! I’m less of a small RP event type of person and more of a “Hey, let’s write together, ok?” kind. Darker/Mature themes are great, but I can also go for light-hearted things as well.
Making friends while RPing is a plus! So is meeting other artists!
Please be 18+ when approaching me for RP. While I have RPed around minors, I prefer to not have to censor myself or avoid darker themes. It’s just a topic I would rather not have to deal with.
RP is never strictly just in the game since I have many friends that can’t afford subs at times or simply work and cannot spare moments to log in and do so. However, I’d love to meet ingame a few times before immediately going to Discord. Game is always preferred but not necessary.
I ask that my real life gender and marital statues be respected, and for all people reaching out to never expect to gain any sort of romantic leverage over me IRL. I detest cheating and will drop anyone that attempts to use RP as a means to destroy IRL relationships.
IC will remain IC! I have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to people taking things personally from RP and bringing them into an OOC setting. If you find yourself confused about something, ask ask ask! I am more than happy to discuss RP and will always warn someone and talk about something if I feel it’s a theme/action that could come across badly.
That being said, I would really love to make friends and expand my RP circle. Also, if you’re an FFXIV artist, bonus points to you as well! I love meeting other artists.

Best pose/top combo thanks to @cottoncandycatte :3.
