A'quin is a ray of sunshine, always seen with a smile, always happy and cheerful. He loves meeting people and talking to them, hearing what they say, learning from them and simply basking in their presence. Despite his cheery nature though, he is quietly self-depreciating, believing himself not worth as much as most others.

Inventory / Items of Note

Salvaged Rifle

The first item Quin salvaged in the field that the Garleans allowed him to keep. It took a long time to get it repaired and ready for use, and then far longer to learn to use it efficiently, but it is truly Quin's most treasured possession and he takes extremely good care of it.

Portable Repair Kit

The first thing Quin bought with money he'd made as a mechanic, something to make his life easier. It is an extremely valued possession, and something he takes everywhere with him, more than any other item he owns.

Gas Mask

A mask of Quin's own design built upon the theory of a similar Garlean invention. After being exposed to potential toxic gas when out salvaging, Quin decided he needed his own mask, and so he designed and built it for himself. He takes it out when he goes out salvaging and when he believes it will come in handy.

Backstory

Born into the Garlean occupation of Ala Mhigo, he essentially lost the lottery of his tribe. In an effort to make nice with the occupiers, they attempted to indulge the Garleans, to integrate their technology with themselves, and offer a young tribe member to learn their ways and offer aid, all in an attempt to ingratiate themselves to the Empire. A’quin didn’t spend his youth hunting or stalking like his kin, he spent it tinkering with Magiteck and helping the Garleans with salvage. Despite himself, A’quin showed a knack for it, a spirit of never giving up, and soon he’d become a rather welcomed sight to the local engineers. He had an agility and finesse they lacked, so he was able to do some of the more delicate work for them.On a Salvage mission, he stumbled across a trove of Magiteck that looked to have been protected. For his find, he was given an old rifle that would become one of his prized possessions. Through the years he’s tinkered with it; little of the original rifle remains now, but it still bares the same rough shape, and he still considers it that same rifle. His first true reward that was uniquely his.When change came, A’quin wasn’t able to adjust to it. The Garleans were forced from the occupied land, and the peoples freed from their tyranny. His tribe, no longer needing to prove their worth, removed any trace of Garlean culture that had leaked in, and that included all their machines. Unable to adjust to suddenly losing the only thing he'd known, A’quin was banished from his tribe, treated as a leaper and forced to leave; though he would always insist to others he chose to leave, as it’s less upsetting.Finding his way to Gridania, A’quin has found a small place to call home, close enough to Baelsar’s wall that he can slip back towards the old Castrums and continue to salvage when he can; afterall it’s the only life he knows.

Out of Character

OOCly you can call me Sarto.I’m from the UK, so I usually keep EU times, but I also work shifts, including nights, so sometimes my timezone is a bit fucky. Because of this, I tend to prefer to RP over Discord, though I’m more than happy to find common times to meet up in-game.I’m over 21 and I’ll only write with people whom are likewise over 21.For RP I have four main rules. No IC/OOC bleed. Communication is King. No God-modding or controlling of one another’s character. Consent is also King (He and Communication are married and rule side by side happily)
I suffer from ADHD, Depression and Anxiety, which makes me feel like reaching out to people is pestering, and I can also be rather forgetful. On the other hand, I adore people reaching out to me and reminding me of things, so please know I’m always open and love to be approached.
*I will poke people from time to time, to make sure you are okay and/or still interested in writing together. If you’re not, please feel free to say.
I adhere to an incredibly strict policy of there being no IC and OOC bleed. I’ve been RPing for a long time, and I consider it one of the cardinal rules (read above). With that in mind, I also love making friends with the people I write with, and am always happy to listen and provide whatever help I can to my friends.I’m incredibly patient, and will happily pause scenes and wait weeks or months if needed; I know first-hand that life happens and can fucking suck sometimes; RP is for fun, so please never stress about it.I’m open to doing content together, but timezones suck (read above).If you’ve any issues with anything I write; the scene we’re in, a phrase I’ve used, be it taken offense or simply not understanding, absolutely anything at all, please tell me. I firmly believe RP is only fun and worthwhile if both all parties involved are having fun.My Discord is “Sarto.” Including the fullstop; feel free to add me.If there’s anything I’ve forgotten or something you wanna know, please do hit me up.
