Alvin Svent | Tales of Xillia

Player: Asher
Player's Pronouns: He/him
Preferred Player Contact: [plurk.com profile] asherdashery, asherdashery#5061 or PM [personal profile] returncoat!
OOC Limits: Permissions, but the tl;dr takeaway is just ask me whether or not something you're not sure about is okay and the answer's probably yes.

Character Name: Alfred Vint "Alvin" Svent
Character Profile/Inbox: Application/Inbox. Open to misfires, especially given the misfire event!
Omen: Ardley, a sylphjay
Bloodtype: Coldblood
Corruption Levels: --
Beasthood Levels: --

Job Title(s): He'll be a Hunter, briefly, but please see below for a possible ARMED MERCHANT CARAVAN BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY!
Business: See below!
Where they live: Currently alone in some house in Crenshaw, but he'll possibly be offering a room to Kokichi Oma
Relationship Status: Single and DTF(lirt). Potentially down for more, physically, but emotionally, he's still recovering from some stuff in canon.
Other close CR: Nothing too close yet, since he's been here for--looks at smudged writing on hand--like a week, but he's got some investment in Yuri Lowell and Flynn Scifo (Tales of buddies), Sansa Stark and Kokichi Oma (teenagers to look out for), Hayato Ichimonji (TDM frien), and some other potentially significant relationships still developing through the March event.

CR I'M LOOKING FOR:
I can never really determine whether CR is going to be positive or negative, especially with a slippery guy like Alvin. So rather than list different types of relationships I might seek, I am going to put feelers out for ADVENTURESOME, BUSINESS-MINDED COWORKERS!

See, Alvin might give the Hunter gig the old college try for a bit, but he's just shaking off a lifetime of bloodshed and betrayal that ended up not being so great for him. Even if he has the skillset, the emotional toll is a little too steep for his everyday living. At the same time, he's growing more dismayed about how difficult it is to get essential materials here in Trench: for example, leather and meat to trade a seamstress for a new coat; or fresh fruit, for crying out loud. His experience as a Hunter will show him why trade in those goods is so difficult, given the danger outside Trench. And finally, a friend from a further canonpoint also told Alvin he'll be a merchant in a year's time.

So now he's thinking, I know how to fight my way through monsters. I have experience guarding bodies and bringing hard-to-find items and/or information from one place to another. Apparently, I'm going down the honest salesman route, anyway. Why not start now?

SO! What I'm thinking is that, later this month, Alvin will make a post to see if anyone wants to help him put together some kind of protected merchant caravan to travel regularly to places like Feed, Ache, and Shiver, offload Trench (and particularly Sleeper-made) products, and trade for those all-important raw materials that make life possible.

Things and people he could be looking for:
- At least one (1) cart or wagon! If your character has one, holy cow, nice! If your character can help him buy his own, aw ye aw ye!
- People who know horses or other beasts of burden, or perhaps even ARE horses or other beasts of burden. He don't know, he ain't gonna judge.
- Fighters, particularly those with experience vs. monsters since these trips are going to be very dangerous. Sleepers' powers are strongest when they stick together.
- Suppliers! Do you make or produce stuff? Let him help you sell and turn a profit!
- Hagglers! Help him help others sell and turn a profit!

If your character might be interested in this sort of thing, whether regularly or they'd just sign up here and there, or if you need to tell me I'm barking entirely up the wrong tree, I'd love to hear here and now so I can figure out how Alvin's going to support his passion for fashion financially.

Day to Day Life: When he's not hacking his way through a jungle or spelunking the Catacombs, Alvin these days can probably be found Hunting or combing the Farther Shores for pretty rocks. He's also been pointed to the Raccoon Room as a watering hole--he likes to drink and hear everything that's going on.
Current Plans: He's trying to acquire enough leather (and meat for Lady) for a new coat from Sansa. This is probably more important to him than it should be. This stupid, superficial man. Otherwise, he's just trying to figure out how he's going to establish himself and survive this new-new world he's found himself in without falling back too hard on his old, charm-then-harm-'em habits.
Event Plans: Event toplevel and plotting comment. Open to most anything in the Jungle and Catacombs Levels.
