Name: Wilhelm "Billy" Reed
Origin: Ul'dah
Affiliation(s):
- Maelstrom, retired
- House of Reed, heir (Ul'dah)
- Bartender (and escort) at Luxuria (Aether, Siren)
- The Salty Tart Tavern, owner (Crystal, Mateus)
- Members-only gentlemen's club called L'entourage Argente, located at Le Renard Argenté (Dynamis, Marilith)Hailing from a prosperous Highlander house in Ul'dah, Wilhelm received tutelage from chirurgeons from Limsa Lominsa, where his studies eventually led him to take up a military career for a time as a Maelstrom soldier. This allowed him more practical use of his healing abilities and to travel the world.Despite his brief military career as a medic instilling in him a sense of authority and discipline, he has a thirst for adventure and a taste for the exotic. He travels when he can, and often with companions he lavishes attention on, feeling life too short not to embrace all that the world has to offer.Skills: Healing magic, medical diagnosis and treatment, physical therapy, mixology, and more.Hobbies: Mixology, painting (even though he's not very good), travel, exploring venues, luxurious settings/things, and providing companionship services and a host of other things that Father certainly would not approve of.Likes: Luxuriant soaks, jogging and lifting weights, good food and drink, partying, flirting/banter, sun-drenched locales (ideally tropical) despite Autumn being his favorite season, mood lighting, sex with strong men, motorbikes and airships, blurring professional lines. He likes a lot of things.
Dislikes: Extreme cold, frigid people, boring partners/starfish, Father, poorly prepared or unseasoned food, close-mindedness, brats who don't know when to turn it off. Too much of the same thing.Strengths: Wilhelm is very open-minded, gifted with good looks and a silver-tongue. He is well-educated, an excellent physician (but lacking in professionalism) and an even better escort. He's strong, although not an adventurer. Gives incredible hugs... big everywhere.Weaknesses: Hedonistic to a fault, sometimes splashing out wastefully when he's feeling unfulfilled. Quick to warm to others, but difficult to get back into his good graces when betrayed. Way too much confidence that his charms can get him out of trouble. A scandal waiting to happen, thanks to his pleasure-seeking proclivities. Has a history of getting involved with patients, coworkers or those training under him. He also has a bad relationship with his father, all of his little acts of rebellion are largely related to that strained relationship.

I am a 25+ year old player with a few years of experience roleplaying on various games and platforms. I will try to mirror your style and adhere to lore. I usually write paragraph/multi-paragraph style, in third person. I'm not fussy about tenses.Communication is important to me and negotiation particularly in scenes exploring romantic or mature content - of which I do a great deal of.I maintain a healthy IC and OOC divide and I'd appreciate it if you would too!
