ALTAN IRIQ: JUST ANOTHER BORLAAQ BASTARD, TURNED 'EYE OF THE IRIQ'.SURVIVOR OF TWENTY-SEVEN SUMMERS. VICTIM OF HIS UNDYING PRIDE.

CAUTION: NSFW (18+) THEMES AHEAD.

01.

GENERAL.

"They say he was named after that which kept him company, laid upon the Steppe: The crimson dawn, fledgling sunrise specked with blood. An omen, perhaps, of what was to come." -An Iriq hunter, on Altan's originAltan Iriq was born to the Borlaaq tribe, a child of the Azim Steppe. Just a babe, he lived as any infant would, in the embrace of his mother. He does not remember this time, in truth, only how the peace came to an end: His abandonment, left out in the early hours of the morning to be found by the Iriq. The customary fate of men born to the Borlaaq, he was told... This did little to soothe his aching heart.Raised by outcasts, he became one himself, frequently getting into fights with the other Iriq boys as he struggled to carve out a place upon the ruthless Steppe landscape. Eventually, he got into a serious altercation with a rival from another tribe--taking a slice through his left eye for the trouble--before Altan decided his destiny lie elsewhere.Since, he has wandered, using his self-trained prowess and unflappable conviction to make a name for himself--albeit only in certain circles--as he seeks to find his father. Stories of his exploits are often shared in low voices, from those nursing a bottle or three in local taverns. Altan cares not for these tales; he believes his actions speak loud enough. Should anyone disagree, he'll be happy to have them speak a little louder still.

A MAN, CURSED TO LIVE IN INFAMY, BORN ANEW UNDER A BLAZING SUN.

HOOKS.

"I saw that horned devil, I swear it! Seeking out those bloody voidsent, I'll 'ave you know. I'll bet that's where he gets his strength... Yeah, that's gotta be it!"
-A pirate, ranting about AltanDespite his appearance--and the reputation that sometimes precedes it--Altan is not truly a recluse. It isn't out of the realm to find him in the places he tends to frequent.

  • Delivering Justice: As part of his self-inflicted training, it is not uncommon to find the man intervening on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. As to why, though, it's anyone's guess...

  • Visiting Venues: He is not well-known for holding his drink, but this does not always stop him from trying. You can sometimes find him at a bar, taking in the sights and sounds of certain establishments.

  • Deterrent: Altan frequently takes on 'bodyguard' work, or work escorting merchants and their haul. By land, sea, or air, he does his best to deter pirates or other ne'er-do-well sorts from attacking his clients. Perhaps you're willing to try your hand?

  • Sparring: As simple as it sounds. Scrap with the Iriq exile, and see just how well you fare. Maybe you'll bet something special to sweeten the deal?

03.

NSFW.

"We might make a habit of this, but even so... Oh, he was something else. I hadn't cried out like that since the last Umbral Calamity, I tell ye!"
-A Sanguine Siren, expressing her approval of his tactics between the sheetsAltan might be known for the warpath upon which he walks, but he also lives a life far removed from celibacy. It isn't uncommon for him to spirit a partner (or two) away to his chambers for a bit of stress relief. While he isn't one to boast, he'd probably say that life is too short to worry about others' concerns; and certainly too short to care for their jealousy.

OOC.

Firstly, thank you so much for your interest! A few quick notes:-All RP types are welcomed, though I tend to prefer darker, more mature themes.
-I prefer to RP only with writers 21 and older. I will not RP with writers below 18 years of age, as Altan is inherently an explicit character.
-While I do my best to reply in a timely manner, sometimes things get postponed or lost... Please exercise patience. I'll always return the favor.
-IC =/= OOC. Altan is not myself, and I do not condone everything that he does. If he is being mean to your muse, this does not mean I dislike your muse! If this ever causes discomfort, please reach out OOC and we can discuss.
-ERP is not guaranteed. Chemistry and buildup are overwhelmingly preferred; doubly-so if you want an interaction with Altan to be part of his canon journey.
-As far as GPose/collaborations go, feel free to inquire! I'm not very good at posing, but I'm always happy to practice.Finally, not all written interactions need to be in-game! I'm happy to RP via Discord (muffles.) or his IC Twitter (twitter.com/vengefulvagrant). Thanks again for your interest!
