ABOUT YOU: Super into Final Fantasy in general, also into reptiles and have a lot of them! Timezone is PST but next month it will be EST (big move happening). I tend to be a boomeranger when it comes to tagging, but if I'm not doing that, I do try to at least get a good handful of tags done a day if I can help it.

CHARACTER: Barnabas Tharmr from Final Fantasy XVI
CHARACTER INFO: Barnabas will not feel too much of anything about being brought here and put to the task of proving his world worth saving worldโ€”mostly because that was already the duty he had been given in his own canon, more or less. The fact he is now here having to do it through these strange missions and the like is...inconvenient, but he isn't exactly bothered. Whatever gets the task done, whatever saves them from their impending doom, that's what matters to him. Though, he isn't here to make friends, really. He looks down on forging bonds and making meaningful connections, even emotions themselves, all because his religion and God says no to that shit. However, he will use someone's perceived bond for his own ends, seeing it as a weakness to exploit. Just kind of an unapologetic manipulative type when it comes down to it, really.

Over all, he's pretty taciturn and moody, he exudes apathy and ennui which otherwise permeates his entire being. He's not fond of people, or mankind in general, but those not magically inclined (so normal humans, typically) tend to not be worth his time or effort. However, combat and conflict does seem to interest him, and so while he isn't one to rush off into a battle or anything, he is far more motivated to get involved in something the more combat heavy it is. He is grossly overpowered, even for others of his kind (he's something known as a Dominant...I know, I know...), and so he finds himself bored and dissatisfied with almost everything. Just utterly and incurably depressed. Just drowning in his anhedonia something fierce.

CR NOTES: I think it would be interested to find people who can challenge him. Not just in a fighting way, but in his beliefs and stances on things. He is pretty set in his ways, and supremely stubborn, but being removed from his world and the primary influence that keeps him rooted in place will be an interesting struggle for him to contend with. Likewise, I am also down for him being a Problem for people. He is manipulative, and he isn't against using people for his own schemes and designs. While he is very measured with the suffering he causesโ€”only aiming to do exactly what is required for his efforts to bear fruitโ€”he is here for people if they want to go down a dark path of some sort. Which is also to say I love negative CR, so if someone is wanting to cook up some fun negative CR with my shitty asshole depressed man, then by all means, I am offering him for exactly that!

PLOTS YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: I am interested in all sorts of things. I love horror, I love action and combat, but I also do love room for softer things at times. There needs to be room for levity or a break from the more intense things to fully appreciate it, imo! Barnabas will lean far more towards the former, with a specific disinterest in things that would otherwise build close connections with others, but that makes them all the more interesting to me! I love making my characters deal with conflict (internal or otherwise), even if the conflict is born of something soft because they're too stubborn and set in their grumpy old man ways to appreciate it.
