INTRODUCTION
(EW references below)Sorrow is a quiet man, new to the Source and attempting to navigate a new form of existence. Former Voidsent turned Blasphemy through fateful events, Sorrow is made largely of dynamis and he takes a humanoid form via force of will. Feeling he’s been granted another chance to live a life, Sorrow is learning to navigate mortal nature, customs, culture and experience anew.He finds himself an insatiable sponge for knowledge in all forms; indulgent, hidden and forbidden. While not easily offended or deterred, Sorrow finds encouragement in the patience of others and their willingness to share their knowledge with him, even if it is simple.Sorrow is not always one to initiate a conversation but he isn’t necessarily shy. He IS curious and challenging and while he might lack certain social skills or grace, he always strives to be polite and patient with others. He can become irritated or frustrated if treated in certain ways, specifically if he finds one’s interaction to be condescending, infantilizing or dismissive. Here is when his tongue is quick to become sharp or words, biting.
Hooks
DYNAMIS IN THE ROUGH
How odd. A young man with no aether to speak of, well...maybe just a little, if you've got a keen sense for that kind of thing. It wouldn't be the first time someone suspected their aethersight was acting up upon meeting Sorrow.
P.I GRIEVES
Are you the victim of an unsolved crime? Who keeps stealing that pie off your windowsill? Is Snuffles missing and you suspect foul play? Someone heard a rumor that a man in the Brume known as "The Moth" has started investigating the varied nefarious plots and unanswered questions that blight the city of Ishgard. For minor mysteries to murder, seek out Sorrow The Moth and he'll try to get to the bottom of it.
"ESCORT" MISSION
Sorrow's found himself entangled in private investigations to ongoing crimes in Ishgard, and has been diving into information gathering in as many ways as he can. He's bookable as an escort and a courtesan, but he's unlikely to agree to take the client unless they've got information he can use or an investigation requires a more up-close examination of clues and information. Booking Sorrow for these kind of services are negotiated discreetly and on a case by case basis.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
+ Being made of dynamis, Sorrow a strong empath. He's more greatly influenced by emotions of grief and wrath. If you feel that your character is in an emotional enough state for Sorrow to be affect, you are welcome to reach out and boop the player about it. (Please not this does note always guarantee capacity for interaction)+ Should "Escort" Mission be a compelling hook, this will probably require a lot of OC/OOC discussion/negotiation about how to approach it. This is not a strictly ERP scenario. SFW plotting and interaction is also welcome/encouraged.

OOC
+ Lou/Phoss+ Non-binary (They/Them)+ Artist for fun and for money+ ADHD/Kinda introverted and sometimes easily overwhelmed. Though I like to think I'm approachable. Please don’t be afraid to hit me up or send a tell. If I'm slow or don't respond, chances are that I forgot or missed it <3+ Please be 21+ for RP / If you’re a minor- DNI+ IC ≠ OOC -- Please do not constrew my characters actions, thoughts or behavior with me personally.+ Dark/horror is my main jam though I am comfortable with many themes. CLEAR OOC CONSENT AND COMMUNICATION by all parties is a must, especially in cases of Heavy/Mature RP.+ While Sorrow does escort/sex work, it is largely within the context of his character OR In the context of some of the venues he works at which have their own rules and guidelines. Please read his hooks and feel free to ask me respectful questions in regards to engaging with him in this fashion. I won't respond well to inappropriate behavior and unsolicited remarks. If you're a stranger and are approaching Sorrow under the assumption that he is "romanceable", please temper your expectations.
-additional note: Sorrow is He/Him and intersex. If you plan to book him, this is a non-negotiable+ I appreciate you reading Sorrow's Caard and all of the above information! Please never hesistate to ask questions or reach out.
