❀˖° The Profile ───── °˖❀

IsakMotokawa.


  NAME:   Isak, ivory dragon, horned rabbit, others  AGE:   34
  PRONOUNS:   he/him  SPECIES:   Viera/ Au'ra (half-auspice)
  BIRTHDATE:   02/ 15  JOB(S):   Merchant
  ORIGIN:   Hingan  LOCATION(S):   Kugane
  DEITY:   N/A  ALIGNMENT:   neutral evil
  SEXUALITY:   aromantic/ asexual (Cupiosexual) - no preference  STATUS:   single

  PERSONALITY   A silver tongue behind an easy smile, Isak speaks with a charm that could talk the spots of a coeurl. Ever curious, he is drawn to rare finds; whether in goods or in people; and has little hesitation in pursuing what captures his interest. Politeness may frame his approach, but it does not always restrain it; when something (or someone) intrigues him, he has a habit of drifting just a touch too close, as though boundaries were merely suggestions rather than rules.Quick with a smile and quicker still to read a room, adapting to the desires of others as though it were second nature. Yet beneath that lacquered charm lies something far less gentle. Calculating and quietly ambitious, Isak understands the value of patience, the weight of a favor, and the inevitability that everything can be boughtgiven the right price.  LIKES   imported teas, tobacco, sweets, sharp wits  DISLIKES   poor hospitality, cabbage, laundry and housekeeping, loudmouths  HOBBIES   Calligraphy, table games (hanafuda/ majong), botany

features.

  BUILD:   slim  EYES:   blue
  HAIR:   black/caramel  SCARS:   indisclosed
  LANGUAGES:   Hingan, Turali, Common  ETHNICITY:   Viera (Shetona) / Au'Ra (Raen) Half-Auspice

  APPEARANCE   Born of an uncommon union between Shetona and Raen, Isak bears his heritage in ways both subtle and striking. He favors his mother—a Turali viera—carrying her poised frame and soft features. Yet closer inspection reveals what sets him apart: skin traced in pearlescent ivory scales, and crowned with a pair of elegantly curved horns that catch the light like polished bone.He has been told these traits are a “gift” from his father: A topic his mother never spoke further of. As a child, he had heard whispers… That the man was a ghost or some other yokai... though he would never put stock in such things. But so long as a rumor would serve his purpose, he will happily keep you guessing.Whether blessing or burden, his appearance draws the eye wherever he goes. Admiration, curiosity, suspicion—he is no stranger to any of them. And if the attention serves his purposes, well… he has never been one to waste a good advantage.

❀˖° The Hooks ───── °˖❀

  ˖· Hook 001 ⸺ .      It's Just Business.Ever the keen businessman - Isak is always looking for the next way to make his coin. Be it some new venture, product, or intriguing bit of information.
In his eyes, nearly everything can be bought and sold.
Do try not to take it personally if he loses interest once he has what he wants.


  ˖· Hook 003 ⸺ .      Poison-Proof
Since he was a child, the Vie'ra has had an unusually high constitution. Not often sick, rare to fall victim to drink or other substances, Isak has found little able to knock the wind out of his sails. Though he still indulges in the taste for himself or socially, as acceptable.
Some whispers even say the man drinks poisons for fun. But such things couldn't be true. Could they?

  ˖· Hook 002 ⸺ .      MixedThe man is a mutt in every sense of the word. Born and raised in Kugane to a Turali-born shetona and an unknown father, Isak is fond of using his enigmatic heritage to his benefit.
But truth be told, if he wished you to believe it, he could be from just about anywhere.


  ˖· Hook 004 ⸺ .      Lets make a deal
Though best known for his work in Kugane and the east, Isak's connections spread far and wide. With contacts throughout Eorzea and even beyond the salt - if there's something to be gained - Isak has made it his business.
His inherent interest in the unusual and the illicit has even brought him into the good graces of some more dangerous clients... the kind of clients best not asked about... or crossed
