where do they hang out? The inn, the LIBRARY, out in the areas surrounding Aldrip as he does odd jobs and tries to get the lay of the land (he is also making his own maps because he Trusts Nothing), around town, anywhere he can get a good drink. Prior to the food shortage, he was absolutely scouting out all of the best places to eat, as well, because he has high standards with food.
hobbies: Currently working his way through the library's entire catalogue to find out as much as he can about this place, tinkering (tuning his gun, taking apart native technology to see what makes it tick), mapmaking, sniffing around for treasure, looking dashing, Fashion, currently in the running for the most paranoid/suspicious Chosen in town. Also trying to figure out why he's apparently missing some memories, which is not helping with the paranoid bit.
how's their day like? You won't catch him taking a day job, but he spends a lot of his days picking up odd jobs and using them as a way to get a closer look at how the locals do things, on top of the pay. He'd prefer some good old-fashioned piracy, but without his ship, he's currently grounded (and cranky about it). He is including searching for information on aeronautics in this world (or if they even exist) during his deep library research dives. If anyone in town needs anything mechanical fixed, he is Suddenly There. He's all over the place, very easy to run into pretty much anywhere as he's busy being a nosy, cheeky man about town. He can often be found with his BFF + partner-in-crime Fran. He also hangs out with Rin on the regular, she understands his need for fancy shirts and supports his conspiracy theories.


character name: Dohalim il Qaras
canon: Tales of Arise
age: 28
where do they hang out? He's out and about town, currently staying at the inn (sharing a room with Alphen and Law). Not as big on exploration outside of Aldrip as Balthier is, but he is making it his business to get to know the town inside and out, as well as its people.
hobbies: Music! Poetry! Archaeology! Painting, reading, anything at all to do with the arts. Diplomacy! Struggling with very basic life skills. Working on getting to know more about the local flora. Looking pensively in Kisara's direction. Allowing himself to be slowly crushed by the weight of his sins, as well as those of every single Renan that ever lived.
how's their day like? Dohalim's primary focus is ingratiating himself to the locals to put himself in a position to learn more about their ongoing situation + gain some political/diplomatic leverage by keeping himself in good standing. He has been getting to know local business owners and looking into how trade is sustained around these parts, so he's really easy to come across literally anywhere in Aldrip at the moment and will likely be found participating in any activity that might generate some good will. Lately, he has been spending many of his afternoons out in the fields outside town, assisting in encouraging plant growth with the use of his astral artes, which he is adapting to be used with this world's ambient energy. He's also another frequent visitor of the library, because what's better for a history buff than to have a whole new world to learn the history of?

Balthier has almost certainly seen Sephiroth around also researching, but ESPECIALLY anything having to do with Those Who Were There.

[theleadingman]

OH HELL YEAH, they both absolutely have that in common, Balthier wants to know EVERYTHING HE CAN.

tbh Balthier also would have gone down a rabbit hole researching his employer so deeply that he went off the grid. He probably *did* with Draklor Labs, once his dad started to lose it...

[iravehementi]

These days Sephiroth mostly wanders around as an illusion but he is still ~investigating~. When he first showed up Balthier would DEFINITELY have seen him in the library. Libraries having staff and, hence, hours might be the only thing that stopped him from just hanging out there and not eating or sleeping until he felt his curiosity was ...well not sated but that he felt he got everything out of the library he could.

[theleadingman]

I'm currently loving the idea of them at least becoming polite/friendly in passing because they've seen each other there so often and are like "I respect the research hustle" so that it's even worse when Balthier remembers Avalon later on and that he actually Hates This Guy. v.v

[iravehementi]

Yes, please. Sephiroth respects intellect and curiosity so they could probably develop a reasonably friendly banter and talk about what they learned.

Then Avalon memories! And Sephiroth has to deal with someone he was starting to kinda respect walking out him again. And all he wanted to do was learn enough about this planet to eat it, geeze.

[theleadingman]

I love this for complexity and depth of relationship, WE DOIN' IT. THEY GOTTA START CHATTING.

Don't eat planets, though, they go straight to your hips.

[meiren]

I apologize for falling down a little on the event, but he and Balthier might definitely have run into each other being nosy and/or drinking.

[theleadingman]

No worries! Life hit me hard around then as well; I'm still down to do something if you are, or we can do something in the new month if you'd like! THAT SAID, yes, they would absolutely run into each other doing both of those things; we could even kick something off with that and have Balthier offer to buy him a drink since they keep crossing paths anyway?

[meiren]

Yes, that definitely works! I like the idea of them running into each other every so often and finally deciding to sit down and talk about it.

[theleadingman]

Perfect! I'm heading out of town for a couple of days but I would love to put something together for them when I get back. c:

[snowslip]

marianne hangs out in the fields a lot, so she'll probably spot dohalim and come say hello. ask about what he's doing

[theleadingman]

Oh yes! They can be plant friends! Field friends... also he will almost definitely treat her to tea after a session out there.
