Mirror RPer. Paragraph+, usually
Please Note:
Sinn is a gritty and dark character. Which may or may not include themes with crime, blackmail, drugs, illicit activities, and so on. I do not condone these activities as his writer. Nor will these be subjected to anyone who states they are highly uncomfortable on an OOC level. Communication on discomforts and boundaries first, plotting second!
With this mentioned, darker rp is an option and not a requirement. I'm perfectly content to simply do slice of life scenes at times and other scenarios tilting away from the more criminal lifestyle Sinn finds himself swimming in.⭐This also means "dark" rp does not only consist of ERP or non-con/dub-con themes. Keep these themes away from me. I do not write them. And for the love of gods, PLEASE stop only thinking crime rp is that. It's tiring!

Other tid-bits
♠️ I'm not particulary fond of Quicksand roleplay. It's stale, it's very boring, and there are plenty of other beautiful places throughout the world to check out and immersive yourself in. Let's go to these instead!♠️ I love characters that feel like they are real people.♠️ Love long-term, juicy storylines with a hint of slow burn for about any situation. One-offs are alright in some instances.♠️ Typically looking for grounded characters. No voidsent, sin-eaters, nightkin, ect. There's no offense to those who decide to play them, Sinn just isn't a good candidate for those storylines!♠️ If you're obviously after ERP or romantic relationships in any fashion, I will decline rp from you. Sinn is happily married. Please respect this!♠️ Leave the OOC drama at the doorstep. If you're prone to starting drama for the sake of starting drama, no plz. I'm here for roleplay, making long-standing ooc friendships, and connections.♠️Please do not get weird OOC. IC is IC, and OOC is OOC. Do not blend the two together.

'"The really bad monsters never look like monsters."
Personality. == • "A liar, a thief, and utterly without conscience. But he'll keep to any deal you strike with him." == Decour is cold-hearted, ruthless, and well-known for being willing to do any job, no matter the danger or violence involved, so as long as it will make him a good deal of gil. This trait and his various egregious actions have earned him the nickname "Mad Hare", a reputation he draws upon to intimidate his opponents. Sinn is manipulative and conniving and makes sure to always be the person in control of the situation. For this reason, he's quick-witted and always has a trick up his sleeve. He discourages trust and is willing to exploit almost anyone for his own gain.Sinn usually appears calm and collected, rarely allowing his emotions or true thoughts to show. However, he holds a penchant for wrathful revenge, particularly when he is wronged or Pascht is hurt. He vowed to avenge his deceased brother and lives by the motto "brick by brick" to take down his enemies. Sinn turned the tragedy and trauma of his childhood into a fearsome reputation, and he actively encourages rumors about his ruthlessness and lack of humanity. However, despite his ruthless nature he is not entirely without morals. He genuinely cares about his friends and their wellbeing. Unlike a lot of the underground, he is openly against the idea of harming children and admits he never would, even if necessary.He has extreme difficulty expressing his emotions, even to those close to him, thanks to multiple traumatic events within his life. However, his life partner, and beloved wife, has become an important anchor. He views the world through a pragmatic and cynical lens, scoffing at the religious and patriotic ideals held by others.== • "Greed bows to me. It is my servant and my lever.” ==
He has a limp and uses a cane with a wolves head as its handle, which also doubles as a weapon. The severity of his limp varies, depending on factors such as cold weather and stress. Many healers have offered to heal his leg, but Sinn refuses, as he views his limp his greatest strength. Sinn claims that his opponents never look past his limp, giving him the element of surprise on his side.
"I recommend a cane."
History
Glimpse of the past
Born Sanyu Harada, he was raised in Kugane by his father, Kol Harada and mother, Yuma Harada. He frequently set out in small-time city adventures with his younger brother, Kenji Harada. When Sinn was nine, their father died by a sickness caught as his dock worker job. Caught by grief, Yuma nearly sold off her teashop yet refrained whenever she began raising both boys as a single mother by having them help with the teashop.Under mysterious circumstances, one day the siblings vanished from the streets. Entering a life-changing and horrid situation that still to this day scars Sinn's mind. Unfortunately after escaping the confinements of this horrific aftermath, Kenji met his death. A scene still to this day the Kingpin is unwilling to speak of. He came back a changed boy, more hardened and twisted. Which unfortunately left him to become swept up in the criminal underground.Sinn adopted the surname Decour, cutting ties with the Harada identity to protect his mother and remaking himself as a ruthless fighter. He worked at gambling dens in various shady businesses scattered in Kugane, learned to steal, was sent to jail twice, was courted by numerous yakuza gangs in the dredges, and earned the nickname "The Mad Hare". He was soon banned from playing in any gambling hall around the eastern city thanks to his gift for cards.The next day he ran into the leader of Shingitokaze-kai, a massive yakuza syndicate. He began as a grunt, but quickly rose through the ranks, becoming an official member at age sixteen...MORE INCOMING, WIP!

Hooks
hooks
one. Connected to the underworlds? Black markets? Sinn is always actively seeking out those who are affiliated with these organizations.
two. Due to running a crime-affiliated underground organization within Ul'dah, known as the "The Sect", it's possible the group has become infamous. Interested in joining?
three. Secrets still roam about a small Viera boy whom conquered the unthinkable. Have ties to this dark and twisted past?
four. Sinn is actively looking out those skilled in espionage and information gathering. Those who are skilled in gathering much needed information for a pretty gil coin.
seven. Looking for alchemists who are open to extending their skills for various skillsets.
five. Wish to be in debt with The Sect? Highly possible! It's common for Sinn to lend out loans towards individuals and businesses as long as they pay what's owed. Failure to do so might lead into some trouble.
eight. Speakeasies who are open to shaking hands. Mainly looking to see about doing the old school/1920s-styled smuggling through hollowed out books, ect.
six. Is your character a drug dealer? Or known for peddling various narcotics? Always looking for those well known in the fantasy drug scenes!
nine. A tailor! Sinn's always on the hunt for those who can make and sew nice clothing. Have a character who needs some income? He loves spending gil on new suits.
Much, MUCH more. Have ideas? These are not concrete and are only base ideas to get the brain juices flowing. I'm always open for discussion, be it simple walk-ups to more complex scenes leading into either short-term plots or long-term.
