I'm Just Flying Along..

Scoundrel, fiend, monster, and devil. All given attributes of the infamous 'Black Swan' of Ishgard. A moniker given to him by the people due to his various nefarious deeds in his former life.Raised to be a sky pirate amongst a treacherous crew known as 'The Nameless', Corbinaus Lovair, formerly named simply 'Swan', committed and assisted acts of grand violence, theft, and more.Firstly sentenced to death when he turned himself into Ishgardian authority, the revisions in government caused by worldly matters saw his sentence reduced to life in gaol. After a strange sponsorship from a high ranking Inquisitor within the Holy See, 'Swan' was then permitted full release - a highly controversial decision that is still debated amongst the masses of Ishgardian, commonwealth or noble.The world may have cast him aside as a villain, he minds not.
Besides..
He has unfinished business that needs tending to.

Hooks

Common Hooks

( Free to use. )

Director • One must be well-acquainted with the masses if they are to upkeep a good reputation. Corbinaux knows many, and many know him. If you need to reach someone of certain importance or career, he's your Elezen.Privateer Captain • Whilst the Duskwight regrets his past actions, the call of the sky will never escape him. He leads a privateer crew known as 'Ravenwood'. They can be contracted to escort high value packages or people, see to threats amidst the sky and work any other adventurely-type of job.Merchant • Alongside the privateering, Corbinaux and his crew are known to buy and sell goods across the star. Fine ore, exotic silks, exquisite spices, fine sugar, extraordinary minerals, precious gemstones, and more! You want it, they got it - or they can get it. For a price.

Uncommon Hooks

( Free to use. Reserved for specific character types. )

Saboteur • A man with a multitude of gadgets and years of training to silently skulk about shadows and alleys and remain undetected. He's available to be hired to subdue, disrupt or acquire information for the right price.Sky Pirate • Scoundrels of the sky may recognize Corbinaux as an esteemed engineer, formerly of the The Nameless Crew. Perhaps you were past enemies or allies, whether it be, you'd likely be aware of Corbinaux's betrayal to his former (rather murderous) crew.'The Black Swan' • Casted as an infamous villain, the name 'Black Swan' is known to incite fear in both commonfolk and nobility. A merciless sky pirate who's taken the lives of many and threatened the livelihoods of more. His release from gaol continues to be a sensitive topic despite reassurance from the Inquisition.

Rare Hooks

( Send a /tell, please! )

Convict • Corbinaux has spent many years sitting in a freezing Ishgardian gaol; locked up for his former allegiance to a terrifying crew of sky pirates. Now having his freedom, he's bound to run into some old faces from the cell days. From terrible smelling inmates, to abusive guards.The Nameless Crew • You were a member of Corbinaux's former crew and knew him as only 'Swan'. The Nameless is now a name rarely spoken, the Captain now in missing in action. Perhaps you're one of the rare few who escaped authority or even assisted Corbin in his betrayal. Regardless of intention, you know what the Duskwight did. And now there he was standing before you.Directly Responsible • Your home at one point in summers past was attacked by sky pirates. Ravaged, burned, and utterly destroyed. The tactics and gear used by these pirates were high quality and entirely recognizable. You're able to figure out who Corbinaux once was. What you do with such information, is up to you.

OOC

Thanks for reading my carrd for Mister Lovair, did a bit of work on it. Or maybe you just clicked the OOC tab first - that's cool too.

The Guidelines

★ I have a firm 18+ rule for both in and out of character. As in, you and your character should be 18+ to interact with me whatsoever. Thank you.
Characters who are 'child-coded' need not apply either.★ Whilst I don't consider myself a huge elitist, I would very much prefer not to RP with characters that are lore breaking, power fantasy, or plainly are just too out of place. This may be a fantasy setting, but fantasy settings still have limits.

The Writer

★ I've a lot of RP experience between WoW RP, D&D, and other platforms. I can join in events, DM, write stuff, etc. Just ask, I'm happy to come along or start something up!★ At times, I may need to go briefly AFK to tend to family. I will try to return in a timely matter but IRL takes priority.★ If there is something in or out of character that makes you uncomfortable, please reach out to me. It's never my intention to make anyone feel that way and I have a difficult time reading emotions over text. Communication is important.★ Awful, terrible case of the ADHD. I apologize ahead of time.

The Character

★ Corbinaux may seem at times like an entirely non-serious character. I cannot stress enough that this is not the case! Don't let the odd antics fool you, this man is in desperate need of therapy.★ I tend to have a different RP style for Corbinaux depending on the time and place. Overall, I prefer small groups or 1-on-1 scenes with impactful writing. I can adapt to whatever scenario, though.★ Whilst Corbinaux is a flirt and is no stranger to boinking, please do not approach Corbinaux with the sole purpose of creating a romantic connection. I am not interested in romantic RP relationships.

The song that inspired it all.
I love TWRP.
