Personality

ㅤAltunogaiㅤ is a man who rarely says more than needed, but talks just enough to get what he wants. His personality is cold and calculating, sarcastic and logical, flirty and dark. He comes off charming when he wants something, or someone, but sometimes... when circumstances align, or if you push juuuust the right buttons, you'll see a side of him that may set off alarm bells.

"Fear you? How could I fear you? Your power was stolen, and I will take back what is mine."Altun's life didn't start the easiest. He grew up in a small tribe of Hotgo, a tight knit community that mainly kept to themselves, traversing through the Steppes and avoiding other tribes when possible. But one night, while everyone slept, a war they weren't apart of came storming to their doorstep. Dotharl ransacked their tribe, burning everything down in their path. Altun's father joined the other fighters of their tribe in trying to protect what was theirs, but there were far too many for how few were able to take up arms. The last image Altun had of his mother was when she made him stay in a small, underground storage area of their yurt, her panicked voice telling him not to come out under until she came back for him.Altun obtained many scars that night, covering most of his body. But the worst scars of all was the one left on his mind, etched there from the screams and flames that filled his senses until all that he could taste was ash. When everything finally became quiet, he crawled his way out, only to soon pass out from his injuries. When he woke up next, he found he had been picked up by the Bairon tribe. His injuries healed after many months, and the kindness of the tribe he now found himself in.But he was never the same after that night, and though his injuries healed into scars, the damage to his mind never truly healed.It all came to a head one night when, someone he called a close friend was deigned to become the new khan of the Bairon. Though he put on a face of celebration with everyone else, the emptiness he'd felt grew into something dark and monstrous- directed at the 'friend' he felt took a position that was rightfully his own. For the first time since he was a child, he felt something, and it was an unhinged, rage-fueled purpose to make things right.

So, while everyone was distracted in the midst of celebration, Altun--"No, we don't speak of that."..."Move on."... after that incident, Altun was forced to leave, lest his head be put on a spike. He managed to escape with a threat of never showing his face back in the Steppe. After a long journey of angry pirates and a series of quick, bloody fights, he managed to arrive in Ul'Dah unscathed. There, he found he had a knack for killing, and doing it with virtually no trace. Soon he built up a reputation that, though no one knows who it is exactly, he earned the nickname 'Manan', or 'mist'. His marks were taken care of so quietly and efficiently, it was like he was made of mist- there for a moment, only to quickly be blown away by the wind.He now lives his life doing his work and finding as much time as he can to seek out small pleasures. He frequents more upscale, sometimes criminally-aligned venues, but ventures to others when the mood strikes him. Everything he does gives off the air of seeking distraction, avoiding anything that starts delving into deeper feelings.Altun is a man that is both insecure and confident, secretive and open, honest and deceitful. He can be an enigma or an open book, but one thing he's always open to is a free drink and good conversation. So, do try and seek him out if you wish. He'd be happy to show you a good time filled with talks about whatever you desire- and he'd most likely not be opposed to more, should you show interest.But, if your desire is to prod below his surface, it will take a lot of time and patience. Even then, efforts may be fruitless.

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep."
  -Stopping by Woods by Robert Frost"And you remember everything only 'til the Sun recedes once again.
And the night comes down like heaven..."
  -The Night Does Not Belong To God by Sleep Token"When great trees fall
in forests,
small things recoil into silence,
their senses
eroded beyond fear."
  -When great trees fall by Maya Angelou"I had you in my grip, but you're starting to slip. Bring out the worst in me.
And now it's coming to an end, I think I'm giving in. You set my demons free."
    -The Worst In Me by Bad Omens"Why should my victim be so
Unattractive as to be inedible,
And why should she have me literally
On a string? I don't mind dying
Ritually, since I always rise again,
But I should have liked a little more blood
To show they were taking me seriously."

// ic actions have ic consequences.     Altun is not a traditionally 'nice' or 'easy' character to get along with. he has his issues and flaws, and tends to wear them both on his sleeve and buried deep within his pockets. this may cause tension and strife, and i will always be happy when or if he faces the consequences of his actions. please keep that in mind before your character interacts with him. if issues arise icly, do not take offense oocly! which segues me on to the next point . . .// ic =/= ooc.     My character will do things I wouldn't do myself, and your character will do things i personally don't agree with and that is fine! do not take ic actions to personal offense, or come into my dm's upset and asking why i did/said that. if this happens i will not hesitate to stop rp. if you have issues with scenes and mixing ic and ooc emotions, we can either talk it out and change the scene entirely or go our separate ways.

✱     Altun is very narcissistic and manipulative, if not bordering on psychotic in some instances. He is a character that will have dark themes, because that is simply part of his nature. Tha being said, believe in growth, and though Altun's growth would be different than many characters, there still will be development. I love dark themes! Don't be afraid to express an idea to me, 9/10 times I will probably say yes!

// discord.     i prefer rp via discord, as I am busy irl and don't have an exorbitant amount of time to rp in game. but, i won't give out my discord unless we've already had a few in game rp interactions. this is for my own comfort level, as i want to know someone is dedicated to long term rp before starting something up in a long term setting.// no drama, have fun!     I love rp and sharing my character with others. This is a game where rp is supposed to be fun, not stressful. if you try to bring drama to me, I will politely say that I don't want any part of it. if you try to start drama with me, i will gladly block you and move on. this is a game, we're here to have fun and celebrate stories/lore with each other, please keep it that way.I am apart of the poc/LGBTQ+ community. I will not support any kind of bigotry whatsoever. If your oc has their own biases and judgements, this is fine, but I will only write with them on a case-by-case basis as it can be written really well, or it can be done in a gross way.
