general.
Under no circumstances do I tolerate folk being a dickhead. How I describe one as such would include the following: transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, misandry, racism, ableist and any other forms of bigotry. Those that treat others with kindness and respect will gain that in return. I don't deal with folk that don't, to either the mun or the character themselves. I am a very quiet individual but will always, always communicate when I cannot or can do something. Likewise, I will communicate whether something makes me uncomfortable or not. I expect the same out of those that want to roleplay with him. The moment you hit me with childishness that could have been solved from a talk, I will not be entertaining it.

interactions.
I will generally not put the gentleman in any form of conflict unless it is discussed OOC and I am comfortable with you. he is liable to burn bridges and be very rude if he isn't being given the same respect he gives. please send a /tell or dm me to see if conflict is fine first. i am not always in the mindset to partake in it.otherwise, your character may do whatever they'd like, but do be prepared for the consequences of it.
misc.
do walk up and interact ! the gentleman is a talkative man, especially when he gets going on a topic he's interested in. don't be afraid to walk up if he's alone, he most likely wants the company.
do ask to join if i'm engaged ! i might already have the gentleman with someone. please ask to join if this is the case!
do let me know what kind of rp that you're looking for when it comes to him.

such a man is born into a minor house under the service of haillenarte and from there, is his life decided for him. he is to be of service to the orthodoxy and he is to find joy and purpose in it. starry-eyed wisteria hues look further to something else, however, a more quiet life, one in which he might be left alone with his devices.but that was never the plan for him, no. he found himself in the service of the holy see, he was to be an inquisitor and by gods, he was to do it well. there are countless men, countless women that he has given up if only to be seen as loyal. there are times where he hears a scream, one that drowns out as the heretics fall.and there are times where he remembers, he pricks his finger and another scar laces those blood-stained hands of his.

perfect fit
velvet whispers. it's a rumour on the tongues of nobility; a quaint little shop in the pillars. lay inside, there is the tailor, a gentleman that can make even the most complicated of alterations, find the finest fabric and make a dream come true. this shop is new and for the moment, the dear gentleman inside is only trying to make a name for himself.it's said that he will only do clothing that has emotional impact to the wearer, only clothing that has meaning. if one seeks his expertise, he may ask 'why' one might need what they do. should one need a tailor, perhaps it's best to come prepared.

one might know this gentleman already if they were a knight, for he was an inquisitor known for his colder demeanor, ruthless in nature. if such is the case, one might recognize that he has softened his demeanor tenfold and yet, the sternness still reigns heavy. there was a point in time in which the inquisitor was deemed missing and he came back different. hesitant over what he was doing. how he was doing it. one might know that he retired early.left to pursue other passions, left to make a difference somewhere else. he claims that it is to leave a fortune behind for his son.

to mourn
he is an eligible bachelor, but ever picky, it seems. at least, from rumours. he finds himself in all black after the war has taken his late wife from him and he continues to wear black for the simple sake of it being a comfort, now. the only reminder he has of her is his progeny and even then, still, does he occasionally forget why he does wear black.he mourns for a past life of simplicity, he mourns for the memories he loses, he mourns for himself, always in some sort of deeper set grief.
