Brought to you by the Letter I
AJ here to introduce my second character, my second favorite guy from FF8: Irvine!
He's shaved off is glorious mane and ditched the country western couture, but he hasn't given up the lonesome sniper seeking solace act. If your character is over 20 and has interacted with Irvine at any point up to now...he's hit on them. Multiple times. Red string of fate, destiny, loves at first sight, yadda yadda. It's all BS, under that playful and suave facade is a pensive and extremely sensitive guy. He's watched Wings of Valor 20 times and cries at the ending every. time. He likes to go to idol concerts, there is a ton of pop music on his HyPad, and he may or may not run an anonymous love advice thread on Mog Net. Playing cupid is one of his hobbies. Basically, he's a huge dork:
But he is also a veteran SeeD, battle hardened and extremely skilled when he needs to be. His primary trade is as a weaponsmith. He'll make and upgrade cadet weapons for free, everyone else will be charged at his discretion (his apartment in Deling is NOT cheap). Irvine has not retired from being a SeeD, and ready to be called into action if ever necessary. So, yeah, he's available for whatever plots and fun times we can come up with.
(I may have a soft spot for his PB's ridiculous dancing. I mean, look at him.)
