Caramel is a rather quiet and serious Rava. She prides herself on being polite, well-mannered, and tactful. Professional at all times. You'd be forgiven for thinking she comes off cold. After all, it is her intention. She prefers to do business with a silver tongue and a sharp wit, but she's never far from her pistol. Ever cautious, this extends to her personal life, her being a solitary figure with little trust to lend to others. Help, though, she is glad to give.Caramel is the sort who prefers to be in total control of a situation, even to his own detriment. He keeps up his business-like demeanor as long as possible. Were one to ask him what he's like alone, underneath it all - well, he'd play it off. But truthfully? One gets the sense that his rigidity has become quite ingrained.

Present

Caramel lends his talents to a variety of odd jobs, taking on whatever under the board tasks need doing. Primarily, he fences stolen goods, though he will sometimes take on smuggling jobs if the pay is good. Since his existence is focused on mere survival at the moment, he doesn't tend to scrutinize his employers. Blissful ignorance, as they say.Caramel isn't a very positive person, far too cynical to consider change as a real possibility. He thinks all people are stuck in their ways forever. Especially, he feels he will never escape his mistakes and falling out with an ex-partner, and so he is currently resigned to meting out his existence however he can. Caramel has managed to build up enough repute to continue to work... but his past life (and debt) haunt him.

PAST

Note: this section is spoiler-y and wouldn't be commonly known in character! There's more to his past than this, of course, but if you'd like to discover ALL of it organically, feel free to skip. If you would like any of this to be known by your character, feel free to ask OOC.

Like many Rava, Caramel initially came from the Golmore Jungle. The desire for adventure and novelty overtook her quickly. Fantasies of seeing the world and it's beauty crossed her mind often. She may have stayed in Golmore her whole life, however, if not for the insistence of her childhood friend, Sundae.Shortly after leaving the jungle for adventure, Caramel and Sundae grew close, and (after picking some ill-advised monikers,) fell in love. They were both wild. Caramel was almost unrecognizably emotive. Still, she had nothing on Sundae, a whirlwind, who led them both into less-than-upstanding careers. They turned to crime for gil - grifting, smuggling, the works - with little consideration beyond the idea of a future traveling together.Caramel and Sundae fell into the gambling business, striking target after target before being taken in by a larger organization. Sundae was ambitious. Deals were made. At some point, Caramel was thrown into the streets; confused, angry, and shackled to a bad reputation.He abandoned his given name, as is tradition, but he still clings to his family name, never quite willing to give up the idea of home.

hooks

  • Are you looking to get rid of some questionable goods? Move them from place to place? Do you need information on something? Some subtle and unassuming protection, perhaps? Caramel's your man, for a price.

  • Do you need some discreet or emergency repair work done? Caramel isn't immediately open about her machinist proclivities, but a job is a job.

  • If you're the gambling type, you may remember Caramel as your blackjack dealer from some years ago... and of course, the house always won. Sucker.

  • Dalmascan, Doman, Ala Mhigan, Bozjan resistances... while she's not directly engaged with it, she tries to keep up on the news. Resistance groups in need of help moving supplies may earn discounts.

  • A socialite with a taste for fine clothes, fine drink, or fine smokes may bump into Caramel somewhat regularly, whenever he permits himself a bit of luxury.

  • Something else! I love plotting and tailoring ideas to specific characters, so we're pretty flexible here.

She/Him. 25+. 2spirit.
I'm a goth artist, fantasy nerd, and lover of sea creatures. I also love to chat, so feel free to ping whenever! In roleplay, I like to have heavy emphasis on character study. I really enjoy anything from casual to plot-heavy stuff as a result, whatever helps to shine a light on all facets of a character.

  • Lore-compliant, but friendly to 'lore-bending' character concepts. Voidsent, Supernatural, etc. As long as the general vibe of the RP is grounded, I don't mind.

  • I am fine with heavier topics, but let's discuss before approaching ICly.

  • Uninterested in ERP or romance at this time.

  • Zero tolerance policy for transphobia, homophobia, racism, underage/incest themes.
