Application

Character name: Gaius
Series: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Age: Mid twenties.
Job: Sugar Daddy

Canon: The kingdom of Ylisse's royal treasure is the Fire Emblem, an artifact known to be powerful enough to either destroy or save the world. When other countries seek to claim it for themselves, prince Chrom and his personal elite militia, The Shepherds, act to keep the peace. As if that wasn't enough, things take a turn for the worse when suddenly undead soldiers called "Risen" show up out of nowhere to rain death and destruction upon the lands. The Shepherds, led by Chrom, now fight as an army to protect not only the Fire Emblem, but the fate of the world itself.

Gaius the thief will do any job you give him, as long as you pay the right price. So naturally, leaving the enemy lines and joining the Shepherds for a bag of candy sounds totally legit... right? At least it is when you've got the mother of all sweet tooths. Because this man loves candy. And sugar. And cakes. Did I say candy? As long as it's sugary, he'll climb mountains to get it. But just because he likes sweets doesn't mean he won't grab the gold too. Gaius usually appears to be rather laid back and calm, but is also clear minded, creative and cunning. Though despite being a thief, he's got his own set of morals which includes not harming people without good reason. And even if he's not too fond of nobles, he won't judge someone right off the bat. He's social and enjoys spending time with people, and is somewhat of a tease, like when he dishes out nicknames just for the heck of it. He's also won't dismiss criticism and uses feedback from people to try and improve his skills.


Sample:

Tell us about yourself in a few words.
Name's Gaius, Shepherd in Blue's ...er, Chrom's colourful little army. How about you? You're kinda hairy, for a welcome party. Speaking of party, you wouldn't know where they keep the confectioneries? I need to... line my pockets. If it's free, I'm not one to let an opportunity slip by.

Why are you joining our happy community?
Joining? Hey hey, I might be a sellsword in my free time, but I don't work without compensation. We should discuss the payment plan before there'll be any joining of anything. You say you have a nasty problem with pests— Oi... wait a second, are those Risen? You didn't say anything about that. You gotta raise the stakes if you want me to take care of that little problem for ya. How about I get those chocolate coins on the side and we'll call this a cakewalk?

What is your job here at CFUD? What do you think that means and why are you a valuable asset to this camp?
Sugar Daddy? That's like calling me the Candy Man, and I'm all okay with that if it means I get to supervise everything sugary in this place. I can even be your go-to person for all your confectionery questions and needs! 'Course, only as long as you share your loot. And asset? Any place needs someone who knows his sugar. If you've got an oven, I'll even make my own stuff. Just name your request and I'll name my price.

Do you have any deep personal traumas you might inexplicably be compelled to share in this questionnaire? Please describe.
Yeah? Loving sugar isn't always all sweets and cupcakes. For example gathering honey: you have to be stealthy and not make hasty movements. Trip-ups are so easy, like that time last week, ugh. Those were some hellish bees, I'll tell you. I can show you my bee stings, they're huge. I really thought I was going to die.

—oh, or when those pastries I pilfered got all smashed to crumbles in my pocket. That was the worst. No wait, the worst was when someone bumped into me and made me drop my ice cream. Especially since I didn't even paid for it that time!

If you could get away with committing one crime and suffer absolutely no consequences, what would you do and why?
I'd rob my favourite pastry shop because darn, those are some delicious cakes and I never have enough to go around. BUT. The little old lady running it is really sweet and I couldn't possibly do that to her. Oi, don't look at me like that. Believe it or not, I do have some damn principles.

Would you sample our new shipment of sweets?
What kind of sweets? Candy? Sugar? Cupcakes? Don't hold out on me here, that's just cruel. ...you know what? Whatever it is, as long as it's sweet, bring it. I'll make sure to sample it into next year. Might as well utilize this job title you gave me.

Ugh, that... was bland. Not to be a downer or anything, but you've got some strange powdery thing going for you with this. Crivens, I'd never thought I'd say this in my entire life, but I'm not a fan. Sure it's sweet an' all but you got to get rid of that taste of flour. Did you make it yourselves? Next time, if you share say... 50% of the end products, I'd be happy to provide expert advice in how to properly administer sugar.

Since sugar is permanently banned, will you use SPLENDA™ as a substitute?
................................. What? I'm sorry, I stopped listening after "sugar is permanently banned". Seriously, don't scare me like that. You almost gave me a heart attack. You think you're a charm pop, frightening people like that don't you?

Wait... you can't be serious— please tell me you're not serious. I won't believe someone would have the heart to deprive a poor man of his daily sugar. That's way to be a lemon-head and burst someone's bubble. No, it's worse. It's like taking candy from a baby. How can you do such a thing and live with yourself?
