Venris
"Red"
Sirianni

Info Broker • Fixer • Fence • Gambler


The well connected Hyur known simply as Red. His light hearted and playful demeanor doesn't often betray his role in the seedier dealings of Ul'Dah. Whether it's for a night of drinking, the latest rumors, or the beginnings of a heist, Red is the man to see.


RP Hooks

  • Job Broker - Well connected to the goings on of the city states provides many opportunities for those savvy and bold enough to take them on. Perhaps you are in need of coin or the right specialist for your next big job?

  • Fixing - Need to make something disappear? Maybe you need some intelligence on your rival to find their secret supplier? How about a discreet delivery of some no questions asked goods across town? Perhaps a consultation to see if any rumors have popped up regarding that rare and exotic item you seek?

  • Night On The Town - Is a night of dancing, drinking, and breaking into the nearest bougie estate your idea of a good time? Or perhaps you have your own ideas for a memorable evening of fun to share!

  • Person of Interest - A troublemaker's reputation often precedes him wherever he ventures. The endless flow of bribes is enough to keep his mug from appearing on any wanted poster. It does seem unusual how his name comes up in connection to so many 'coincidences'.

  • Debtor - A night at the casino can only go one of two ways. Red has an unnatural streak of bad luck that seems to follow him. Pressing his luck tends to lead to owing some establishments and lendersquite the sum of gil.

  • New Threads - Need a new look? Whether looking to keep up with the latest trends or as a disguise, Red has you covered with his not so legitimate connections to the best clothiers. Or for the lucky few, one of his own personal designs.

  • Ul'Dah Street Orphan - Growing up on the streets of the city had him running with all sorts of individuals to survive. Perhaps you recognize him from his past or a certain mannerism gives away his upbringing?

  • Let's Get Out Of Here - When the heat gets a little too hot then it is time to travel. Absconding with a small sum of gil to a foreign locale always makes for interesting encounters. Where are we headed?

Availability


  • Discord RP- is currently my preferred RP method and where I am most available. Most active around 11am to 7pm EST. Response time can be a bit slower during busy times though. Weekends will be variable, but I am happy to set up a time dedicated for RP.

  • In Game RP - Currently on hiatus from in game RP. Though I generally I like to do at least one scene in game to get a good feel for the characters and their interaction.

  • OOC - Feel free to reach out any time to discuss characters, plots, ideas, or anything really.

Personal Preferences


  • LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome! My character is Pan and is connected with the LGBTQ community of characters. So if any of that is an issue then we are unfortunately not a good fit.

  • Communication is vital with RP. My goal is to make sure all individuals involved are comfortable and enjoying themselves. I appreciate a similar attitude in my partners.

  • I am a paragraph/multi-paragraph RPer and like to actively add to a scene to make it deep and immersive. I prefer when my partner is actively engaged in building and moving the scene forward with me.

  • I tend to keep my characters, plots, scenes pretty grounded and realistic. I very much enjoy navigating the outcomes of their actions, words, and decisions especially when that leads to consequences in a scene. I appreciate when a partner can play into that immensely.

  • I am okay with most themes in RP as long as they have a purpose in driving the character and story (including violence and romance). Please let me know if there are any themes you wish to avoid ahead of time so I can make sure to steer clear of them. Some to be aware of in Red's story are addiction, violence, loss/grief, and coercion/blackmail.

  • While I enjoy one off events and unique interactions, I have a strong preference for longer term interactions to really build an incredible and unique story. That allows for dynamic characters that grow and change over longer arcs to play out.

  • I have a preference to resolve conflicts and combat in free form as opposed to random rolls. We can discuss any preferred outcome or event if desired, otherwise I tend to fall back on my realistic outcome preference. That said, sometimes a dice needs to be rolled to determine an unknown outcome.

  • OOC is not IC. I am not my character and I ask that boundary remain distinct. Generally I will use separate channels for RP and OOC so that there isn't confusion.

About Me


  • I am 34 and use He/Him pronouns. I work full time in a demanding IT job. When not RPing I am pursuing one of my other various hobbies that tend to keep me busy in my scarce free time. Mostly gaming, reading/writing, painting, and music (both creating and listening to).

  • I have been role playing digitally and in table top format for ~15 years, both as a player and game master. I have experience with several systems including D&D, Pathfinder, and some more free form systems. I am also working on some content for the FFXIV x D&D crossover on reddit.

  • In game I have experience hosting and running events ranging from: multi group converging storylines, server wide social events, and small group adventures.

Backstory

  • Red grew up on the streets of Ul'Dah doing what he had to do to survive. Running scams, petty theft, and working for those who needed unseen couriers molded him into what he would become. He relied on his connections and reputation for getting what needed to be done as he carved out his own niche.

  • His eagerness to gamble his undervalued life led him to pursue riskier jobs and clients. Some nights the local gaol would be where he resided. Every time he got caught or had a close call he learned from and would sharpen his approach.

  • This would lead to a heist from a well known 'syndicate' that would change his life in more ways than one. Business tangled with pleasure and he would emerge from this job with a dark haired woman on his arm in addition to the loot that would allow him to escape his shady life.

  • Old habits die hard and the past has a way of catching up to those who are distracted. Facing an obsessed sorceress with a penchant for inflicting misery, tied up with an ornery thaumaturge with no way out, surviving a duel to the death, and defending an airship from some less than friendly winged foes are some of the tales he has been known to tell to those close to him.

  • Surviving isn't always pretty and the scars left emotionally and physically are his burden to endure as he continues to chase the next hopeful win. Every gambler will tell you, all they need is one more roll of the dice to turn it all around.
