Fufumun
"How interesting."
Name : Faifu Fufumun
Pronouns : He / They
Race : Lalafell (Dunes)
Nameday : 4/1 (~35)
Preference : DemiRom - Ace
Origin : Unknown
Present : Ul'dah, Thanalan
Appearance :
The way Fufumun carries themself isn't quite Lalafellin at all. His movements are restrained and elegant, and lack the flamboyance one would usually associate with his kind.
Due to their height and rather lanky build, many have mistaken them for an Elezen child... Only to be caught off guard by the depth of his voice. However, rather than taking offense, Fufumun seems to find the mistake humorous. "Ironic" even.
Their most distinguishing trait is their coke bottle glasses, for which Fufumun just can't see without. Something about "The film makes it foggy."
Fufumun is also known to dress formally, always in black, and in the highest fashions from Ishgard, despite living in Thanalan's desert since well before the calamity.
Rarely is he seen without makeup, and often is he confused for a woman, but... Like other things, they take no offense to this.
Personality :
You may be confused by their ordering of a ridiculous amount of sweets, especially by their build, but thaumaturgy requires vast pools of aether. Pools of aether that can only be restored by eating a whole cheesecake or putting exactly five and a half lumps of sugar in one's tea.
On the surface, Fufumun is kind, charming, and seems the princely type...
But something just seems off, as if they've something to hide.
Though, perhaps he's just judging you. He does seem like that sort.
Fufumun's best trait is their charisma, but their worst trait is a stubborn sort of pride.
Occupation :
Fufumun is always vague about his career history, to the point of lying about it so often, no one would believe him if he told the truth of it.
As to their current employment, however...
They work as a bounty hunter.
However. They're just as likely to help you hunt down your stray kitten, if you ask nicely enough, often enough, and maybe even cry.
Abilities :
- Fufumun is immensely talented as a magician, and has dabbled in all schools. However, he prefers thaumaturgy... But it seems they may not have started out that way. Their hands are calloused, as if they had spent years wielding a sword instead.
- Though obviously not opposed to violence, Fufumun is opposed to killing. Despite being capable of utter devastation, he holds back significantly against spoken opponents.
- They have a knowledge of alchemy on par with high ranking members of the guild in Ul'dah. This turns out to be plenty helpful to his choice of career.
Hooks :
-
Work for the Witch Hunter (Plot)
- Though he is a princely sort of many secrets, Fufumun feels no need to hide what they presently do for work. After all, fear is the most effective marketing tool. If you have a grim job, and are willing to pay handsomely (in RP gil, of course.), please consider employing their services. They will not disappoint.
-
Friend is a Weak Word (Plot & Casual)
- Fufumun is fickle, throwing the word 'friend' around without a care, so long as it gets them what they want. With rare exception, that is. If this annoys you, feel free to take it up with them! Conflict is great, just communicate with me OOC. I want Fufumun to be the sort that has layers. Layers and layers of "Awe, what a cute little doll." to "I want to kick them." to "This person is terrifying." and even "This person is the greatest ally one could have." (Like the redeemable early villains in a lot of manga & anime.)
-
Are You Ishgardian? (Plot & Casual)
- If so, congratulations! You've unlocked several special interactions with Fufumun. They seem wishy washy about their relationship with it, reveling in the culture but terrified of entering the country. Nobility makes them especially nervous for some reason. If you're curious about why, maybe you should talk to them!
-
Kindred Spirits (Casual)
- Fufumun is always open to friendly, casual conversation on common ground! Not everything needs to be fantastical, after all, and to embrace the more mundane moments in life is to live to its fullest. If you just want to vibe as spooky little goths or fellow sweet tooths, or even as fans of Hingan picture books, Fufumun is more than alright with that!
