the long of it...
To know Porsche is to know that he is entirely disinterested in wearing masks; there is no real Porsche to dig up, or secrets and lies to detangle. To know Porsche is to realize that what you see is what you get, for better or for worse, and there are plenty of both to go around.A restless workaholic at his core, it's rare to see Porsche not in the midst of some form of work, finding endless ways to busy his mind as well as his hands. One might say "A break wouldn't kill you", but as far as Porsche is concerned, it could.Idleness leads to boredom, and boredom in turn tends to bring out the worst in him. A stress reaction, perhaps, or the feeling a large animal gets when pent up in a too-small cage. Without enough stimuli, Porsche lashes out; seeks conflict, whether to harm others or himself.It is the odd traits of a homebody that keep him from losing himself entirely. For a man so ready to bare his fangs and admit to no regrets, he is very unashamedly soft, loving, and dedicated to those he considers his own.

cato manufacturing

★ ☆ ☆
anyone, engineers, garleans
After settling himself in Revenant's Toll, Porsche had quickly established a small magitek manufactory on the outskirts of town. With proximity to both a ceruleum supply and trade, he managed to make a pretty decent name for himself.In need of something built?An engineer or mechanic willing to take up some stable, albeit challenging work?Porsche is always willing to take up a new challenge or offer up some work for those willing to put up with him.
home bitter home

★ ☆ ☆
anyone, garleans, conscripts
Practically anyone who hears Porsche speak can clock his rather sharp Garlean accent. Whether it brings out feelings of anger, curiosity, or memories of home, Porsche's loud voice and tall stance makes him exceedingly approachable.While he tries to avoid conflict with those the empire has wronged, he is more than happy to chatter about his homeland, especially with other Garleans.Considering his rather big age (by Garlean standards, at least), he might even have a few more personal memories to share.
fuck around, find out

★ ☆ ☆ (send a /tell)
anyone!
Porsche is no stranger to fucking around and finding out, nor will he stop anyone from doing the same. His assertiveness and combative nature is well known, and it only takes a few well thought out jabs to rile him up, and the rest is history.He's an attractive sight for those eager to pick a fight; it could be personal, bloody, or just a fun, low stakes scuffle with a man willing to entertain it.For those more comfortable picking a verbal fight, he is just as eager to prove himself right on just about any topic.
IVth legion engineer

★ ★ ☆ (send a /tell)
IVth legion & conscripts
Members of the IVth Imperial Legion may have ran into Porsche in his corner of the engineering unit; despite being a staunch workaholic, he had never been opposed to socializing with Garleans and conscripts alike, so long as they could hold some tools for him from time to time.Some may remember him as a friendly face, an annoying coworker, or a man with an aura of grief, anger, and desperation.Porsche tries to remember those who knew him back then fondly.
enemy of the resistance

★ ★ ☆ (send a /tell)
bozjans, resistance fighters, conscripts
Whether directly or not, Porsche's hands are drenched in the blood of the Bozjan resistance; his warmachina is responsible for immeasurable bloodshed, and his time out in the field was not often peaceful.Those who had fought for the resistance might have faced Porsche's warmachina, or Porsche himself, either on the field or during his custody after the eventual defeat of the IVth legion.Porsche on the other hand is more likely to try and avoid any resistance members he might recognize.

garleans, IVth legion, resistance.
Having lived for over eighty solid years, Porsche has quite a storied past; it would come as no surprise if some parts of that past followed him, intentionally or not.Long lost friends, enemies, coworkers, or even lovers or past flings, are all part of that past. Whether they are looking for him or are brought to him by chance is a different question.(This hook would require some planning and chatting to set things up, but please don't be afraid to pitch something to me!)
OOC
THE PLAYER
ALEC ◆ 29 ◆ HE/HIM ◆ PST
First of all thank you for taking the time to look over my little freak's carrd, it means a lot to me!I mainly do character driven paragraph RP, and I really enjoy character exploration, development, and plots built around them, no matter the genre. I do enjoy exploring darker and more emotional themes, but I also love a good slice of life, adventure, or something low stakes!I can be quite busy with life these days, but I'm always excited to meet and write with new people.Please don't be afraid to reach out and chat!!

RULES
◆ 21+ I prefer to write with folks who are at least 21 years old, for both my comfort and yours!◆ oc=/=ooc While will always try my best to communicate OOCly about IC conflict, Porsche can be very difficult and downright mean!Please remember that this is never a reflection of my personal feelings or beliefs towards you or anyone else!◆ communication I really value maintaining OOC contact while RPing, especially if the scene seems tense or confrontational! Please never hesitate to send me a /tell or a discord message if you have any concerns, questions, or even ideas!◆ no bigots No racists, no homophobes, no transphobes, no right wing weirdos. Duh.
