Full Name: [ Niamh Lorcan ]││Nicknames: [ NA ]││ Race: [ Matori ]││Gender:││ [ Male ]││RP Color: [ DeepPink ]││Role: [ Artisan Class ]││Age: [ Prentice]││Sexual Orientation: [ Gay ]││Religion: [ Pantheon ] 3 Base Traits: [ - Expressive - Indulgent - Ambitious ]
Personality: [ Expressive - Coming from a mercantile family he is charismatic, to an extent. Niamh is very open with his emotions, both positive and negative. He would give anything for the people who mean most to him and freely expresses his affection and desire to please them, but at the same time, he wouldn’t hold back if they hurt or offended him.
Indulgent – Being surround by the latest and greatest the market has to offer has made Niamh develop a need for the best. He is constantly surrounding himself with new, different, better things. Whenever he sets his sights on something it will literally eat him up inside until he has it; this carries over into his love life as well. Despite Niamh's insatiable desire, he has a few things of sentimental value which he holds dear.
Ambitious – Niamh spent a great deal of his childhood perusing the markets and on the surface, it can be quite relaxing, but when you get down to the nitty-gritty, things tend to get pretty cutthroat. Niamh strives for success in his line of work and expends much of his energy to achieve this goal; sometimes at the expense of his own well-being. ]
Serious Problems/Flaws : [ Temper - Most elements in Niamh's job leads to stress and sometimes he is not the best at coping with the levels of stress put on him... which then leads to temper. Usually, it’s just short outbursts of “Sass” but occasionally it leads to something more which usually alludes to some greater- underlying stress he hasn't dealt with or is avoiding dealing with.
Inner Turbulence – Often Times Niamh is his own worst enemy. His mind is constantly running and for his job that's a good thing, but when it’s not his job that he's focused on... Well, It can lead to problems in love. He tends to unintentionally wring his hands over the fear of losing the ones he loves, not in death, but more he won’t measure up to their expectations.
And If his love life is suffering... you can be sure it will carry over to his work. Niamh would constantly second guess himself (even though he has a nearly flawless intuition(so he perceives)). His constant haunting thoughts would hound his sleep, grate on his tolerance and lead to a hair trigger temper. Generally, when things get this bad he retreats from the stress of his life and paints, meditates and tries to regain control of his spiraling mental state.
Jealousy – Being the youngest Niamh has been slightly spoiled all his life... He's used to getting what he wants when he wants it. And due to his inner turbulence, he has a tendency to become clingy and jealous in a new relationship. Once again, he recognizes his flaws and does take steps to control them but... sometimes the tiger gets out of the cage~ xD ]
Hobbies: [ Playing in his Menk's water garden, Painting of the abstract variety, Yoga/Meditation ]
Special Abilities/Skills: [ NA ]
Occupation(s): [ Economist ] Physical Description: [ Growing up with an older sister, he was her life-sized doll. The two of them would play dress-up in their mother’s clothes. Miri would do his hair, makeup, and nails... And he adored every minute of it. Carrying that to the future, Niamh takes great pride in his appearance. He had always seen the beauty in women and found he could portray many of those features; not to mention he looks damn fine with some makeup on~
Niamh does not identify as a female, just appreciates the time and effort it takes to look as gorgeous as women do. And found he too liked the way he looked when putting forth a similar effort. (Nekkid image for marking reference - click to enlarge)]
Clothing: [ Generally he enjoys anything flowing, not for its loose fit but for its grace and elegance; He enjoys the way he looks. If he is topless he tries to accessorize with jewelry or other accents to make himself more glamorous. ]
Accessories: [ Nails - Niamh is constantly fussing with his nails; oiling them, shaping them, painting them. He takes pride in his appearance; thus his nails~ Plus, it’s useful having healthy nails! They make his fingers look long and slender.
Rings - Simple gold rings in a variety of shapes and sizes, because gold and pretties~
Bangles - Usually tones of gold, blue, or green; nothing too eye popping or fancy. He enjoys the jingling noise they make when he walks, moves, etc.]
Quote:
Does his ambition reach out beyond his chosen work? Like is he ambitious in his love life, his daily life, his ideas for travel, etc?
His Ambition lies mostly in his work, but I could see implications of it in his love life. Should he find someone worth the effort the thought of being with this person would likely consume him and he would pursue with the utmost ferocity; which could then pull on his jealousy and inner turbulence flaws as well. Once in a relationship, assuming it was a happy and healthy one, I would assume he would expend unlimited energy and resources to keep it~
Quote:
What kind of business does the family run? Like what do they sell, trade, head, coordinate, or whatever? Is it a particular good, or a service, do they specialize in something or coordinate a large range of product? Do they do business over a large area, or just in Matori?
They are essentially Import/Export Merchants. They import raw goods and materials from other countries, produce a salable product, and sell or export it depending on supply and demand. Niamh will be tracking consumer patterns of desired goods and services and figuring out what is needed to provide those things (Ideally that's how this goes... we'll see what needs adjusting as I put this into practice.)
Quote:
If he doesn't hold back when someone hurts him, what will he do if they take a step back? Will he be jealous? Will he pursue them as his indulgent trait seems to state? Or would it make him think they're not good enough for him and think he can do better?
Well, I suppose he was the one that messed up~ If he found the relationship worth saving, it is safe to say he would go to great lengths to get the person back. If they weren't interested in his apology then he could get jealous if they found someone else to occupy their time. Assuming they don't take him back he would go through a period of question himself and deal with borderline depression due to his inner turbulence, his work would suffer and eventually, if things got bad enough, a family member would come to his rescue. Send him off to go paint and meditate or chase foreign tail~ ;D
Quote:
Does his ambitious nature interfere with his desire to please his loved ones when it may keep him from something else? Like for example, say he finds a significant other, and they have an established business somewhere but Niamh has an opportunity to expand his family's business but has to leave or do something or other that his significant other doesn't want. What then?
All the time~ That's part of the fun! Niamh is constantly struggling between his responsibilities to his family and his lifestyle and love life. If he becomes infatuated with someone his work will suffer while he goes to extreme lengths/borderline clingy to gain their affection.
I don't think Niamh would give up his family business for anything. He would try to make a long-distance relationship work... But at this point in time, I believe he would break if off with someone over location if he felt it wouldn't work with his business. Again, it depends on plot and situation, but at this moment I'd be hard pressed to see him walk away from everything for someone XD
[ Niamh his the only son and the youngest child of the Lorcan family. From an early age it was made abundantly clear to him that the future of the family's Mercantile Enterprise rested on his shoulders, and where most people would have cracked under the pressure, he embraced it~ Loved it! Niamh spent much of his time in the markets with his father, observing all the inner workings of the system and also going deeper into the thought of the consumer.
He has a keen sense of consumer trends and helped his family's enterprise ahead of the curve, so to speak. He studied as a secretary for his father’s economic adviser and once it was time for the old man to “retire”, he had the necessary skills to step into his shoes and take his place (on a minor scale of course(but his father wasn’t about to tell him that))
*Transition of Power- the previous adviser was getting old and did want more time with his family, but Niamh isn’t exactly old enough to completely take over. Sarkis arranged for Niamh to gradually take on more responsibility as he aged. Once he seemed fully prepared the previous adviser would retire. I intend to act this out over his growths until he finally takes over the company entirely. ]

Miri (Sister) – His big sister, best playmate, and star of exports for the family. Miri enjoys spending her time on the ocean, around ships, by water in general. (Leaving this vague for reasons~)
Sarkis(Father) - Sarkis is a tall burly man, baked by the sun and built through years of hard manual labor. Born of Matori, he was taken from his home with his family at the young age grew up in the sands of Oba as a slave. He spent most of his childhood on ships as a deckhand and worked his way up the ranks as he aged. In his early twenties, he was given the opportunity to oversee his fellow slaves when out on the open sea and took it. This boosted morale throughout the ranks, thus boosting productivity, and gave Sarkis the drive to achieve this for himself once freed from his Oban overlords~
Coming back to Matori Sarkis stepped up, bring his work ethic and skill from his time as a slave he began shaping an enterprise that would consume Matori’s exports.
Nayeli(Mother) - Nayeli has lived in Matori her whole life... Even during Oba's occupation. She witnessed first hand the cruelty her people endured and had her older brothers taken as slaves at a young age. Realizing these hardships were an unfortunate part of her life she turned to meditation and found other creative outlets for her negative emotions. Eventually, it became a way of life for her, She adapted to more of a go with the flow/let it be sort of attitude; Bad things happen… you can let them hold you back, or you can make the best of them and move on.
Eramus - A gift from his sister before she began her first sea voyage. She may be off exploring the world and living her life, but this little guy is the constant reminder of the love they share.
Eramus is spoiled for a menk. He has a larger tank at Niamh’s dwelling and plenty of ornaments to swim through. Niamh has been training him to rest on a perch at the top of his tank when he is hungry or in need of attention.
Full Name: [] Nicknames:[]/b [] Race: [] Gender: [] Role: [] Age: [???] Date of Birth: [???]
Religion: The people of Matori, due to their close though rather forced relationship with Oba, believe in the same pantheon of Gods and Goddesses as their former enslavers, though a few of the names seem to have shifted and evolved. There is always a different name to pray to depending on the situation at hand. The major players in their pantheon include: Nessat King of Gods, god of judgement (Oba: Nerad) Ome Essd Queen of Gods, goddess of life and death (Oba: Essd) Drach'ti God of storms and rain (Oba: Drach) On'os God of time and fortune Len Goddess of fishing and feasts (Oba: Lenoxe) Kiyom God of wood and lumber Hatald Goddess of fertility, marriage, and women Jonal God of men and war Ubeli'ae Godess of the moon and ocean (Oba: Ubeli) Atun God of the sun, forging fires, and desert
Non-Battle Growth Form
Character Name:[Insert Name Here] Class Promotion: [ Artisan (Economist) ] Current Location: [On his way to Belrea] Journal: [ URL Link ] RP Growth Point Links: [please list each URL link on its own line, list as many solos and RPs as needed for growth for your stage] Class Quest Solo: [URL Link] Items:[ ] Body Type: [ ] Preferred Artists: [List your top 2-3, just in case your first pick is unavailable] WIPs: [WIP's are appreciated~]
What plans do you have for him as he grows? Will he be a battle class, or an actual merchant class, or something else?
He is going to be a part of the Artisan Class. For his prentice years, I will be having him just work closely with his father to get an understanding of what it is they do and hopefully get a more solid grasp on how this is all going to go down.
In his stage two, I want to get him more familiar with local market needs and trends which will lead to him eventually attempting to convince his father to begin closer trades with Oba; despite their history. (This will lead to him traveling more and making more connections.) *Will hopefully establish his father's company enough to be able to purchase his sister her own ship going into his stage 3 growth. - and also taking advantage of that by making her tow him around to various places <3 *
Stage 3 is going to be all about getting to know Tendaji and all it has to offer; establishing a world trade that benefits all.
Aaaaand stage 4 will probably be him taking over the company~ (Trying not to get too far ahead of myself... I have found that I get antsy when things don't happen and lose interest... Baby Lists for the moment.)
At some point I want him to get a bushi named Malachi

☺ ------ Friends ☻ ------ Foes ♥ ------ Love Interests Sexual Orientation: [ Gay ] Current Relationship Status: [It's Complicated with Leukos] Relationship History: [ Kaj [NPC] , Talan [NPC] ]
As Niamh encounters characters of Tendaji, they will be listed under this post. Niamh's opinion or the nature of your encounter will determine which icon you receive. Two icons will be rewarded to each roleplay you complete with Niamh. One in the beginning and one in the end.
☺ ------ This is the Friend Icon. Your character will receive one of these for any meet and greet roleplay. If the meeting ends on a good note you will receive an additional friend icon, but if it ends on a bad one you will receive a Foe Icon. If the roleplay so happens to twist enough that there is a romantic interest at the end your character may receive a Love Icon.
☻ ------ This is the Foe Icon. Your character will receive one of these in any negative interaction/ battle roleplay. Just because your character receives one of these Icons doesn't necessarily mean that Niamh hates you... Just means you had a rocky start.
[Ex1/ Say Niamh upset you and he has no clue, and you aim to give him a piece of your mind. You will receive a Foe Icon, but if the matter is resolved, say he apologizes and there are no hard feelings then your character will receive a Friend Icon for the ending icon.]
[Ex2/ if your character picks a fight with Niamh, Even if it's sparring, you will be awarded a Foe Icon. However, if it is nothing more than sparring and it ends on a positive note, then you will receive a Friend Icon at the completion of the roleplay. If it is a physical confrontation and it ends on a negative note, then you will receive two Foe Icons.]
♥ ------ This is the Love Icon. Your character will receive this icon if you are a love interest to Niamh. Most Roleplays will not start with this icon unless you have had past roleplays with Niamh that resulted in a Love Icon.
Ex1/ Say your character was pursuing Niamh as their love interest, and in the last roleplay, you expressed your feelings for him. that roleplay would begin with a friend icon and end with a love icon.
Ex2/ Now say he wanted to meet you for a date then that roleplay would begin with a love icon and if everything went well and you both still had feelings for each other it would end with a love icon.
Ex3/ If your date ended and either you or he realized this isn't exactly what they imagined it to be and want to remain friends/ acquaintances(the relationship ended on a mutual standing) the roleplay would start with a love icon and then end with a friend icon.
Ex4/ If your date ended with your character throwing any heavy object available, cursing and screaming his name at the top of their lungs(the relationship ended poorly) the roleplay would start with a love icon and end with a Foe Icon. ** Remember~ This doesn't mean that Niamh hates you! He may fear for his safety in your presence after this, but it's something that can be smoothed over in time!
۩ ------ Leukos - ☻ ☺ ☺ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ [x] ♥/♥ - Niamh was reeled in by Leukos's seductive street dance and lingered a little longer than a gawking passer-by should. It worked to his benefit though! turning on the charm, Niamh managed to get a dinner date out of the eccentric man... and maybe even a bit more~ [x] ☺/♥ - Arriving incredibly late and completely emotionally frazzled to their planned breakfast, Niamh struggled to get their date back on track and save Leukos from his Mother. With a tour and a few glasses of wine they managed to end the evening on a pretty.... passionate note~ [x] ☻/☺ - After receiving a letter revealing Leukos's location, Niamh takes the first carriage out of town to Edrao; eager to meet up with him, and discuss his future plans. There was an unexpected surprise awaiting him, Niamh arrived to find Leukos engage in a steamy affair with a coworker. After losing his mind temporarily, Niamh is left questioning what it is Leukos is looking for in him... All he knows is his future hinges on this one man, and in order to keep him in play, he has to fix this mess. [x] ♥/♥ - With a little help from a family friend, Talan, Niamh prepares a surprise to repay Leukos for the beautiful poem he wrote. Though Niamh may have had plans for a romantic evening, Talan had a better thought~ With a bottle in hand, he set out to force the couple to get to know each other - it backfired. BUT it was determined that they should take things slow to get better acquainted. ۩ ------ ۩ ------ ۩ ------ NPC's ۩ ------ ♥ Nayeli/Mother - ۩ ------ ♥ Sarkis/Father - ۩ ------ ☺/♥/☻Talan - ۩ ------ ☺ Lydas - ۩ ------ ☻ Kaj -

(Any and all of this is subject to change... it's late and I'm finding this to be hilarous~ X'D) 3 Base Traits: [ - Enigmatic - Libidinous - Altruistic ] Personality: [ Forthright - Direct and outspoken; straightforward and honest.
"In the Guild, you were always precise, direct... If you failed, you failed, don't beat around the bush about it. You're wasting time! Someone's gotta get back out there and clean up your mess! I, of course, never had that problem~ " -total bs- "But I understand that certain situations required a bit more tact.... A direct answer just won't do - Example: Explaining my relationship history... Ha, That was a trick - no amount of tact and grace could explain that." -laughter ensues. It's a joke, people! Sort of~ - "My present employer prefers my direct approach, but his wife definitely needs you to dance around the topic a bit before she can be sold on it. My preference, I like honesty... So long as I get there at some point, I'm okay with it. "
Altruistic - showing a disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others; unselfish
"Ha, ha~ An altruistic assassin... Sort of a contradiction, eh? It was a role I was born into; Not. My. Choice. By the grace of Len, I'd rather spend my days with a line in my hand, than running the streets of Sulburi. You make due with what you have and while I adore the skills I have acquired, I regret the means by which I acquired them. As for selflessness, needless to say, I'm the first to Jump between feuding deckhands... Or at least first on the scene to referee~ It's good to get a few cracks in when someone tugs your chain for the hell of it. If we were all held to the politeness of land dwellers out on that ship, we wouldn't last very long. And while jumping in a fight between two hot-headed fools isn't exactly saintly, since leaving Oba and having the opportunity to assist others - I enjoy it. call me selfish, but I enjoy being the hero - the feeling you get when someone appreciates the time you've given them. It's... rewarding? Is that a thing?"
Magnanimous- very generous or forgiving, especially toward a rival or someone less powerful than oneself.
"It's called being the bigger person! Just let it go~ I've had far too many situations in my life that remind me that life is too short... Why waste it on holding a grudge. Now, that's not to say I wouldn't give someone a good a** kicking if they had it coming, but I'd also buy them a drink afterward~" -Yeah, What about Kaj?- "Oh, his majesty is willing to slum it with the rest of us for an evening of merrymaking? That pretentious douche would have to turn down his own ego a few notches before I could be within a mile of him."
Scrupulous ] Serious Problems/Flaws/Addictions/Disorders/Disabilities: [ Enigmatic Libidinous Gluttonous Oppressed/Repressed ] Likes: [ Alcohol, Women, Men, Being out at sea, Ships, ] Dislikes: [ Deceitfulness, Elitists, Egotists ] Religion[ Ubeli'ae ] Political Affiliation: [ ? ? ? ] Hobbies: [ literally any drinking game ever invented ] Special Abilities/Skills: [ his impressive ability to drink nearly anyone under a table~] Occupation(s): [ Loyal Manservant of the Lorcan Family ] Past Occupation(s): [ Deckhand (Nated, Matori) Assassin (Sulburi, Oba) Factory Laborer (Orrod, Oba) ] Physical Description: [ ----- ] Clothing: [ ----- ] Accessories: [ ----- ] Weapons (if any): [ Dual Wield Throwing Knives [Past]Bow ] History: [ Conception - Escano Storage Facility - Red Sands Assassins Guild - Lorcan Trading Company -] Family: [ Mom/Nerida - Beautiful, Young, and stupid. Nerida was a native-born Matoran who was "Hired" by Ilias Escano to tidy up around his office... her and several other young, beautiful women were responsible for catering to his business needs and after hours they were occasionally called upon to satisfy other needs. Nerida was one of those unfortunate souls that were called in the night to render additional services. While catering to his nightly needs she was introduced to a local drug that enhances sensations - made for a pleasurable evening with her boss, but she hadn't considered the addictive properties. After months of abuse, she was hooked. Her evenings were spent crawling to his office begging for "his" company - and that of the drug he introduced her to. Through her carelessness, she got pregnant, and while the boss was willing to entertain the idea of taking on a child that looked Oban... That didn't happen. When her son was born she was cut off from her supply and had to seek out other means to satisfy her constant "itch". Like selling her infant son to an upstarting assassins guild. She was given a lump sum up front and continued to get small stipends so long as he proved to be a productive member of their cause. Talan had tried to save her countless times, but the truth he had to come to terms with was simply this - she had to want to be saved... Dad/Ilias Escano - A sleazy businessman with a questionable moral compass... He's always trying to stay on everyone's good side - working both sides of the great debate; should Matoran's truly have rights. The man can't take a solid stance on anything because plausible deniability is just so much easier. He runs a storage warehouse in Orrod takes Imported goods in, sorts them, and prepares them to be transferred to the various cities in Oba. His leisurely activities involves luring in young women (of any race, but Matoran women are usually easier - for the way Oban society bludgeoned them into submission over the years of slavery), drugging them, and sleeping with them. Everything is Mutual, of course, and if there were any regrets... why would they return? (That's where the drugs come in.) Needless to say, Talan thinks of him as less than a man. The only thing they share in common is their opinion on one another - a complete embarrassment and waste of life.
