Streh
The Performer
Summary
Adopted and raised by a caring but sickly woman in the harsh ghettos of the pearl lane. Streh spent his youth using the skills he learned traveling with his caravan to put food on the table for his ma and his 13 adopted brothers and sisters. Dancing and instruments were his first tries to feed his family, when making an honest living failed; the young lad took to thievery. Now he finds himself living two lives, a public one where he is masquerading as an exotic hannish performer and another where he is a career criminal willing to commit to smuggling, stealing and whatever else will secure him the next big payday.

Strehs nightmare of never getting his family out of the pearl lane is over, his family is now getting older with many of the kits being able to pitch in and help with chores, find jobs and provide for their ailing mother. The once over-worked dancer now invests the gil he's earned over the years through his many ventures and gets himself something that is truly his! A Brothel overlooking the pearl-lane!

Quick personality
Streh is selfish, vain, superficially charming, entertaining, a bit of an adrenaline junkie, rational and personable. These traits often make him successful in his personal and work life but make him struggle with balancing his own personal freedoms with the needs of his family that depend on him. Streh suffers from a need for adrenaline , stimulation and excitement, when bored he is as likely to start singing as he is to start stealing, or pick a fight, party in copius amounts or spend money he shouldn't; he is addicted to every kind of thrill there is. He is an ' Honor among thieves' kind of guy and is unlikely to betray or backstab any of his cohorts, unless... the other offer is too good to resist. He has a soft spot for outcasts, social pariahs, the poor, children and people trapped in desperate situations.

Appearance
Eye-Color- Golden
Strehs' eyes are a bright, slightly glowing golden color. His eyes are a very practiced sort of welcoming. As though he's had practice at remaining non-threatening.
Hair-Black
An obvious observation to say the least. Strehs hair LOOKS expensive because it is. He has well maintained locks of straight hair that are often styled to fit with his outfit.
Body Type
A fairly toned and lithe figure. At a glance he is frail and seems ill-suited for combat. His form does make him fairly light on his feet and agile.
Complexion-Cinnamon
Sun-kissed brown skin with red under tones. Strehs' skin is blemishless, clear and he's clean shaven. Closer inspection hints towards a rigorous hygiene routine.
Tattoos/Markings
Strehs' face is adorned in hand-drawn markings that denote him as some sort of devotee to menphina, the goddess of love. Each one seems to be drawn with care.
Scent
Typically streh smells of some sort of expensive body oil mixed with a light fragrance of sweat. On days when he's not travelling he's likey to wear a cloying scent like honey, jasmine or peaches.
Skills
The goal here is to give others a general idea of what streh is talented in and capable of.
Streh was born and raised among a traveling band of musicians, Performers and Con-artists. Since he could walk he was trained in the performing arts. When dancing and singing wasn't enough to fill his belly he took to thievery and crime.His skills reflect his backstory and traits. They often change overtime as he uses different parts of his skillset.

Combat
Strehs is just starting out in his career as an adventurer, he's considerably weak and not as skilled as many of the other veteran adventurers across eorzea. I do rp him as having a shaky grip, improper footwork and other signifiers of improper training.
Physically, streh is quite talented thanks to years spent dancing, he also incorporates a lot of dance moves and acrobatics into his fighting style.Recent
After years of relying on others for protection strehs FC mates have given him the strength to protect himself. Many of the members of his fc have taken it upon themselves to ensure that streh is at least trained in the use of chakrams and daggers. His mastery over combat is limited, his chakrams often miss and he can only rarely use even basic Dancer abilities but the way he dances across a battle field and weaves aether into his eye-catching abilities is often enough to encourage his allies to fight harder. Each battle is a delicate dance, a hair raising adventure, an intimate moment with an enemy, streh is a bit addicted to the feeling of putting his life on the line.
Power levelin terms of rp battles I prefer to do/random/roll. I like to use the die to guide my combat but I am open to freely rping the fight or even plotting the entire battle out. I'm open to interacting with many different Rp styles and never mind adapting.So the way I play streh...
Strehs in combat skill set is a mix of powers and abilities he's earned via Rp.
He combines his practical skills like Stealing, and bluffing and incorporates those into combat via dirty tricks. While he may not be skilled in battle he is free from guilt and will use every cheap trick and foul tactic to get ahead. There is little he would'nt do to come out on top.Below you will find the various video game inspirations that i've cobbled together to make strehs ' class ' if you're familiar with Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy tactics then his capabilities should make sense.
| Combat inspirations. Fire Emblem |
|---|
| Dancer- A defensless support unit that aids its allies by giving them extra turns in battle. |
| Thief- A Melee unit that has poor combat prowess but can open locks and chests that can open the battlefield in opportunistic ways. |
| Archer- A ranged unit that has the advantage of long range but has limited capacity to defend itself in melee. |
| Final fantasy |
|---|
| Dancer/Bard- Support units that buff allies with song and dance. |
| TimeMage/Green Mage- Provides allies with offensive and defensive buffs. They have limited to no capacity to heal allies. |
| Thief/Juggler- Debuffers that steal enemies items, generate gil for the party and attack their enemies from afar. |

contracts and quests
Common hook: If you're wanting a payday and don't care where the gil comes from, this is the hook for you.
Streh is well known in Ul'dah as a middleman and a reliable source of pay, but he lacks the talent for violence some of his peers possess. He often outsources violence, fighting and heavy lifting to other adventurers more suited to the task. He's got work if you've got the stomach for it. ranging from criminal work, official immortal flames contracts, poaching, stealing, bounty hunting, smuggling and everything in between. He might ask your character to rough up someone who owes him some gil. He might ask your Character to help him clear out a dungeon.I often DM events for players using a very simple and easy to pick up system I've written. If you're interested do feel free to reach out <3
Traveling Performer
Common hook: this is an easy hook to use if you're looking for a casual conversation or to connect with another artsy type
Streh is a performer, It's how he makes a majority of his income. He enjoys reconnecting people to their homeland and helping lift spirits through song and dance. If you see him out and about, feel free to request a song or dance! He's not one to turn down praise from an admirer or a fan, especially if gil or perhaps a free meal is involved.
Feel Free to request a bard song, Streh will gladly perform.
If you're another performer looking to connect with performers please DM me.
Are you an adventurer? Do you want to feel really REALLY important? Then hire this bard to follow you around and sing your praises!
Streh is hireable as a chornicler, he'll write up a poem, song or short story about whatever adventure you take him on and perform it for you.
Smuggling and other crimes
Armed with a silver tongue, a well maintained image and several forged documents, streh is able to pull the wool over most guards eyes. Should you need someone to smuggle something under the guards noses, look no further. Streh also considers himself a bit of a talent scout, if you happen to find yourself looking for work, streh has plenty.Typically down for pickpocketing, tomb raiding, dungeon delving and robberies. Streh won't take any jobs that involve killing a human or sentient entity, however, he is down to profit from such situations and isn't above paying for such services. Don't expect Streh to pick up any of the weight in a fight, he is untrained in combat and would be more of a liabilty than a boon in battle. Strehs along to handle the stealth, break-ins and lockpicking. You're here to do all the heavy lifting including the Miqo'tes luggage.
Streh is often in need of muscle and guards. If that's you then feel free to ask for work.
Eyes and Ears
This crafty catte You might be amazed by what secrets the emotionally vulnerable will spill for a drop of 'genuine' affection.An entertainer is certainly an odd choice as an informant but streh has a finger on the pulse of Ul'dah. If something significant is going on, he likely knows, at least in passing. Although his sway in city states outside of Ul'dah may be mild; The miqo'te proves time and time again to be well connected and resourceful when his connections fall through. These connections, secrets and information could all be yours for a small fee.
Unless I was there firsthand for the event you'd like information on; you're gonna have to fill me in OOC on what you need to hear ICly.
Streh often has work for adventurers, if you need connections to labor strehs got some.
If you need someone to help you swindle, keep you from being swindled or swindle you if that's your thing, you've come to the right place.
Fence
Streh is a merchant at heart and always looking to trade for something. He loves a good deal and a handful of gil. His wares don't stop at dubious 'magical implements' he's also got a suite of narcotics, stolen weaponry, guard uniforms, classified information and is willing to part with any/all of it for the right person and at the right price.
For information trading, be sure to discuss with me oocly what exactly you need your character to know. I am not a mind-reader and neither is streh despite whatever he's told anyone in the market that day.
Streh sells most of the drugs commonly found around eorzea as well as some interesting custom drugs.
Many of the items he sells have an actual practical use, it's always a fun time trying to work using gear he sells you into an rp scene.
NSFW
Streh services mild to wild, he's a real adventurous freak that will try almost anything once and most things twice so long as the Gil is good enough.Streh is genderfluid and can be as soft and feminine or as toned and masculine as you like.Disclaimers: Will not be doing anything remotely sexual with lalafell or underage persons IC or OOC. I am not Streh Streh is not me, Lets not blend anything there. I will shut that shit down quickly.

Nadia stopped her teasing, releasing her grip on the Hyurs ball sack, stepping away behind the curtain to slip into a more sensual outfit. The hyur would hear her heels clicking against the marble tiles before her visage would appear from behind the veil. The Milf stood nearly 6'5 in her heels wide buxom hips framed a slender, plush waist and her oversized teats swayed from side to side as she moved in an almost hypnotic rhythm.Her outfit looked like some kind of ceremonial garb, her weighty tits were barely covered by the thin wisps of fabric that laid over them. Her areolas and pierced nipples were still fully on display, even under her 'robes'. A see-through loincloth that dangled between her thighs and a g-string tucked perfectly between her puffy pussy lips were all that kept her slit 'decent' to societies standards. She takes a step to the side, wiggling her hips side to side as she turns to show off every angle of her attire. Her hands lift her jet black hair over her shoulder so her slave can be met with the sight of her full figure, her lower body is the perfect mix of muscle and fat, plush and powerful all at the same time. The g-string she wore was swallowed between those oversized ebony cheeks, and golden body chains wrapped around her supple thighs.The evil seductress kneels into a squat position just above Xanders face letting the slave get a full view of her drooling pink slit nestled between her pillowy thighs. That honey scented slit was just inches out of reach for the chained slave lap at with his tongue even if he tried." Go on. Tell your queen what you think."
RP Summaries
This Tab functions as both a gallery and almost like an IC scrapbook. It features a lot of images and summaries from RP I've done with Streh! If you're thinking of Rping with me, this is a good overview of the writing style, themes and charcter arcs I enjoy.
