ABOUT
[Warning: Dawntrail Spoilers!]
HISTORY
Raised in Shaaloani. His mother (hyur - highlander) became pregnant with him while traveling away from Tural. He is suspected to be a bastard born out of wedlock.
Accumulated a vast fortune very quickly. Popular theory is that he is involved in criminal activity within Solution 9, specifically dealing illegal substances to participants in the Arcadion and the upper-class elite.
However he went about amassing his fortune, he is a known supporter of the Turali community who, like him, wound up in Heritage Found by poor circumstance.
The truth of his past is as follows:Thierry was born in Shaaloani to a hyur woman who traveled the star for alchemical research. She had fallen in love with an elezen who did not return the sentiment, and turned her away when she declared she was with child. Heartbroken, she returned to Tural, and soon after Thierry was born.Thierry grew up with a dislike of his elezen heritage due to his absentee father, which was further exacerbated by the bullying he received. One day, the local children took things too far and he was viciously mauled by a stray dog. Disfigured at a young age, this affected his self confidence considerably.While recovering, he developed an addiction to pain killers that gradually became insatiable. When doctors refused to prescribe him more, he learned from his mother's texts how to synthesize them himself. And when he couldn't get the raw materials himself, he turned to petty crime.One such crime involved a heist on a train en route to Yyasulani. Unfortunate timing saw Thierry trapped in the dome that suddenly appeared with all of the other residents of Yyasulani. Though it had been days for his mother, for Thierry, it took thirty years to return home.In that time, he's been quite busy making a name for himself in Solution 9.
PERSONALITY
Amiable and very approachable, quick to smile and laugh.
Despite his looks and his profession, he has no stomach or patience for violence and is generally pretty pacifistic.
Mama's boy; speaks highly of his mother and does not brook insults or slights to her from others.
Big hearted and tends to lean empathetic. Helps those he takes a liking to and knows the value of community.
Home schooled in alchemy by his mother- with a bit of personalized self-study on the side.

OTHER
Terrified of dogs - they are his number one phobia; he will straight up leave the vicinity if he hears a dog barking.
Heavily scarredt on the side of his face, palms, and forearms. One ear appears to have been bitten shorter, and the other is surgically notched shorter to match.
Glass eye - his right eye was damaged by the dog that attacked him. He replaced it once he could afford it as an adult.
Considerably short for an elezen (given his half-elezen heritage).
Two gold teeth - his right lateral incisor and cuspid. Rumor has it he was punched in the face and lost the originals.
May or may not be addicted to surgery - he has had multiple procedures once he became wealthy to 'fix himself up'.
RUMORS
[Warning: Dawntrail Spoilers!]
Rumors about Thierry may be true or false, and are either common and uncommon.
Common
"What industry does he work in again?" "Who cares, he's a loaded philanthropist who actually gives money away."
"I hear he's a self-made man. New money, you know. Earned it all himself."
"Gods, what happened to his face? Do you think he got in a fight? He does seem to go to the Arcadion pretty often..."
"Poor guy, he was one of the many who got stuck in Yyasulani when that dome appeared... I heard his own mother freaked out and rejected him when he came home. Understandably. He's older than she is now!"
Uncommon
"He doesn't talk about his family often... I wonder if he is ashamed of them. Ooh, or maybe he murdered them!"
"No one gets that rich that fast. I hear he was involved in some shady dealings to grease the wheels."
"You don't want to cross that guy, I've heard he has a short temper and feeds people to his dogs."
RP HOOKS
[Warning: Dawntrail Spoilers!]
Business
There is so often a deal to be struck in life- and Thierry is an opportunist by necessity. He will also often act as an investor if anyone has a cause worthy of investing in.
Additionally, due to the nature of his "work" and general distaste towards violence, he is actively looking for a bodyguard.
Glow-Up
Not only does Thierry now look considerably different than he did as a teen; he was a victim of the Heritage Found dome and thus aged up thirty years in a handful of days. To those outside of the time bubble, they may have known him as a kid quite easily; especially considering he and his mother traveled the star for her research.
Alchemy
Thierry is a skilled alchemist who seems to specialize in pain meds.. Suffering from chronic pain? Need a little something to take the edge off? Mentally, physically, emotionally, whatever your suffering he's surely got something for you up his sleeve.
Of course, if you're looking for something that's just fun or for enhancing experiences or abilities, well, he's got a few less-than-legal blends as well.
Craft & Gather
Due to the nature of his business, Thierry often needs supplies and skilled hands. He can't do all this himself- especially now that he's traveling the star and potentially expanding his business. He's often seeking out gleaners and artisans to assist him with the procurement of materials
Romance
Thierry is a man with two ears and a heart-- and he is not immune to a little romance. Especially given his complicated relationship with his own self-confidence, if he receives any compliments whatsoever he is pretty affectionate in return. However, given his questionable dealings, things have a propensity to get messy with him.
Food
Baking seems to be a passion of Thierry's, and he often smells of fresh baked bread and spices. He likes to entertain, but more than that he likes to make sure people are fed and happy. Are you looking a bit peaky? When was the last time you ate? Thierry may mother hen over anyone with a growling stomach and offer them his lunch. Or, if he really likes them, a loaf of freshly baked sourdough next time they meet.

IC =/= OOC
RP Tag = IC! Please differentiate the two, I am not my character and not always in the mood to RP.Hello! Thank you for making it this far. +21 rp partners only, if you are underage please do not contact me to play. I enjoy most types of rp from dark/mature to slice of life. I'm okay with ERP as long as the player and character are +21 years old and it is not the focus.
My preferences are:
Para/Multi-Para - I don't prefer short form.
Dark / Mature - Themes with Thierry may include substance use / abuse, violence, PTSD, explicit sexual themes, chronic pain / trauma / etc.
Lore Adherence
Plot-driven RP - Especially down to do some custom plotting / established character relationships due to the nature of his business! Please send me a /tell, I love plotting!
Open communication OOC - Just don't be weird and please be respectful of my time if we make plans!
I do not want:
OOC/IC Bleeding
WOLs / NPCs - Not my cup of tea, sorry!
Metagaming - Please don't use OOC knowledge in the narrative.
Lore Breaking - Bending is cool with me to a certain point- I'm much more interested in a fun story than being a stickler so if you have ideas let's discuss it!
Character death/maiming (I prefer anything serious be discussed OOC)
Your OOC drama - RP is meant to be a fun hobby so kindly do not indulge me in your personal drama or RP policing. I'm not here for that, this is my hobby and I am here for good vibes only!
