Reputation

In the Western Commons of Divinity's Reach, Jacian "Mad Murellow" Mureda is known as a man shaped by his rough origins. Born in the slums to a mother who worked as a prostitute, Jace's early life was marked by poverty and struggle. The absence of a father figure and the need to fend for himself from a young age taught him resilience and street smarts. Some remember him as the scrappy kid who learned to rely on his fists and wits to survive the brutal streets.As he grew older, his reputation began to spread through the city. His involvement in underground fighting rings showcased a wicked efficiency and unyielding resolve, with stories of his savagery becoming the stuff of legend. Transitioning to an enforcer-for-hire, Jace solidified his status in the underworld. Those who have had dealings with him know he is both reliable and ruthless, making him a valuable asset to various outlaw factions and a daunting adversary to those who would deign to cross him.Contrasting with his dark reputation, locals of the Commons might also be aware of Jace's disarming charm and easy-going confidence. His interactions with the community are marked by a mix of fear and grudging respect, as people recognize his capacity for savagery, but is also known to harbor a protective streak, particularly towards the vulnerable, driven by a deep-seated disdain for exploitation.

Development

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS

❖ Allies

Jace's allies are typically those who operate on the fringes of society and understand the harsh realities of the world. Street-smart individuals, fellow criminals, and other underground fighters would make up his closest confidants. They are people who share his pragmatic approach to survival and can be counted on in a fight. These might also include civilians rarely, as he does harbor friendship with some of the common folk of the Reach as well.

Enemies ❖

He has no shortage of enemies, particularly among those who have crossed him or stand in opposition to his interests. The Seraph, constantly trying to bring him to justice, view him as a persistent and dangerous criminal. Additionally, individuals he has collected debts from or who have suffered due to his ruthless methods may hold deep grudges against him, always seeking an opportunity for revenge. He also tends find himself at odds with nobles and the excessively wealthy, harbor a deep disdain and distrust with them at large.

❖ Romantic Interests

Any lasting interests on Jace's part tend to be exceedingly rare, though he'd tell you simply that he's one of a kind and there isn't a match for a rare breed like himself... his friends would ask if you caught a whiff of dolyak manure as he said it. While his passing dalliances are often varied in type or shape or background, he does hold special regard for resilient people and tends to find himself drawn to nurturing or highly creative, expressive individuals.

Others ❖

Other characters in Jacian's life could include informants who provide him with valuable information about potential threats and opportunities. These could be bartenders, street vendors, or other low-level operatives who thrive on gossip and news from the underbelly of Divinity's Reach. Additionally, there might be mentors or older figures who once took him under their wing and taught him the ropes of the underground world or helped to mold him into the man he is today.

Notes

Hi, I'm scuz (they/them), a 30+ amateur writer pretending (badly) to be a gamer. I'm on Pacific Standard Time and I'm active on weekends. I've roleplayed for decades on forums and messenger apps, and I'm new to MMO writing. I'm excited to make new friends and tell stories! A few things to keep in mind:❖ Standard rules apply (no godmoding, powerplaying, ooc-ic, ic-ooc)❖My style is multi-para with detail. I may be long-winded at times but I am aiming to be more concise.❖ Still learning lore and doing my best; open to polite corrections.❖ Real life first; I'm an adult, vaguely human-shaped creature with responsibilities and sometimes I'm just not feeling it. I'll let you know, communication is important.❖ Be nice. No drama or bullying; open to polite and constructive criticism.❖ Discuss major character changes (death, dismemberment, so on...) with me first.If you're interested in starting something new or you wanna get into some plot ideas, contact me on Discord (scuzcuz) or GW2 (scuz.9654)!Other Characters:
