Streh
The Performer
Summary
Abandoned by the Star performers of a Hannish Troupe and adopted 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, as a young adult 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 whatever will secure him the next big payday.

From Street Rat to Stage performer, from Stage performer to Bed-Warmer, From Bed-warmer to Madame. Streh has lead a storied life, and every single gil he's earned has finally amassed into something the Street-Rat can call his own; A bordello over looking the Pearl Lane. ' The Pillow House ' is an upscale slice of Hannish Heaven over looking the street he danced on in Ul'dahs Pearl lane. During the day, the place is a bar, filled with merriment and chatter. At night, it becomes a neutral zone for gangs and eorzeas elite alike. Strehs current goals and trials revolve around making enough gil to keep his business running, protecting his fledgling establishment and trying to keep him and his workers safe from the harsh ways of the gangs and wealthy people they service.

Quick personality
Streh is charming, perceptive, deceptive, and just a bit of a diva. He thrives on stimulation, attention, and risk, and has a hard time sitting still when life becomes too quiet. When bored, he is just as likely to start a fight as he is to start a song.At his core, Streh is driven by an unrelenting need to rise above the poverty that marked his early years. He is greedy and drawn to the allure of gil and all else that glitters, but he believes in loyalty and maintains a personal code — an honor among thieves. While he is unlikely to betray anyone he truly considers an ally, most anyone else is fair game to his manipulation or opportunism.Despite his selfish tendencies, Streh has a deep and genuine soft spot for outcasts, social pariahs, the poor, prostitutes, children, and people trapped in desperate situations. He has lived that life himself, and it shows in the way he treats those who remind him of who he once was. He protects the people he cares for fiercely…Though he would never admit it aloud.

Combat
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.Streh is not the shining image of a 'warrior'. He is small, a bit flimsy and not quite built for a battle field. What he does offer in battle is cunning, precision, a bit of performance and a few interesting aetheric abilities.His combat style revolves around ambushing, fighting dirty and enhancing his allies and disrupting his enemies through his magically imbued dances rather than relying on his own middling skills. He bolsters morale, sharpens reflexes and grants surges of adrenaline to help his allies fight beyond their normal limits.He tries to avoid direct confrontation whenever possible as a few good hits will take him down rather quickly. He survives through positioning, timing and the power of his allies.his prefered weapons are the Chakrams which he uses in both ranged and melee combat.

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Common hook: If your character is a merc, adventurer, thief or just in need of gil this may be a good hook for you to meet the Catte.
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

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.

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.
