Guy Fitzwater

Guy never really had a childhood. His father was a good man and always strove to do right by his boys. He was a single father that never talked about the mother that never was. Guy and his brothers always just assumed she died or ran off or something. When the subject was brought up, his father never let on either way. It wasn't so much a secret as it just didn't matter. Love for his two brothers was mutual and they all seemed to get along, except that Guy was always the dreamer. The one with the big goals. The one that wanted to own a city one day and the only one his father trusted to actually pull this off. Life was crazy in those days.

Guy Fitzwater always wanted to be in big business. Or at least business that's going to make him rich. The youngest of three brothers, he never really got to know his father. But when his father died, he left his tavern to his youngest son... as something of a going away gift. With his brothers living it up on Isles that are not Draught, Guy turned his attention to making that tavern into the best damn tavern on the isle. Now that he's grown up and taking care of business his own way, Guy is starting to see that his wanted future is within arm's reach. All good things, therefore, must come to an end. Not wanting to become locked in a small venture like his father's tavern, he sold the place and moved to Gateway to purchase the Grinning Guardian. Which, since then, has become his life.

Word had came through the grapevine that the owner of the Grinning Guardian had gone missing: the perfect opportunity to seize control of a business. Guy, being the opportunist that he is, felt that letting such a establishment go to waste would be simply foolish. He took his gift from his father, the tavern, and sold it, taking the coin and purchased the old brothel. Under his management, the Grinning Guardian looks to be heading for the big time. Which, by proxy, will set Guy Fitzwater on the journey to be whatever it is that he's been trying to be.

As the new owner of The Grin, Guy has started to jump into a massive recruiting drive that's going to help him bring in more money, as far as his plans go. Having a bunch of no-names that came with the building, excluding the Micheal, Guy has been trying to put some fire under the girls of Gateway to get them to come through and consider working in his place as something of an occupation to help him bring in more money. The first of his recruits is a girl by the name of Trixie. She stumbled into the Grinning Guardian in search of a bed and a job offer. She was met with a challenge that she managed to complete with jogging colors and ever since then she's been running her smartass mouth off and doing (almost) whatever Guy tells her.

Next up on the list was a girl by the name of Saxby Blue. At least, that's what she called herself when Guy met her. Using a bronze tongue (because she was too stupid to waste silver on) he managed to talk his way into having her come and work for him. It was a simple job at first, just being a brothel wench and waiting on the men that came in and out of the place. But with the way their eyes would always wander and she was "requested", Guy found it hard not to sweet talk her into becoming one of the working girls in the building. And thus, sexual history was made and Guy isn't even quite sure if she even knows she's not getting paid. Oh well. More money for him.

Evanglin was a special case. While he wanted to get her to work in the brothel full time, she was having one of those independent women lives. Damn child of destiny. Anyway, the conversations and constant badgering from Guy finally managed to break down one of her walls... and she joined the Grinning Guardian on a part time basis. While not completely under control of the guiding pimp hand of Guy Fitzwater, Evanglin is hot enough to bring in a nice chunk of coin. At least, that's what Guy's hoping. If not, well, at least he gets to sex her for free.

Trying to get his claws into Lux Fields was like trying to skin a mountain lion. Luckily, though, the whore's a lush and she drank herself into a drunken stupor of passed outness that allowed him to prepare a much better plan of attack than the one that he originally came up with. Through some very long and very thick negotiations, Guy came out on top and managed to have Lux agreeing to let him mold, shape and guide her towards being a better whore.

After Lux, there was a bit of a layover. Nothing really going on except for the fact that Guy was collecting more girls than he really knew how to handle. Which was good enough, but he was going to need some help. Enter good ol' fine piece of aged ass Etta Walker. She swooped in and impressed Guy from the beginning and quickly sucked up the role of Den Mother from any of the other older females that graced the Grin. Together with Guy, they work hard on keeping the Grin running as smooth as possible. And keeping the Grinning Girls working as hard as they can.

Which brings the whole thing down to Xylinka. A funny little creature of a girl that stumbled in with some university assholes at some point. She never really had a choice in the matter, because after some cleaning up, she looked well enough to be usable and Guy forced her right into Gypsyotic Servitude of a Whorish Nature. She doesn't particularly have any rights beyond those that get Guy money.

The next item up for bid was Zaire. Her recruitment was fairly easy, considering that she kind of came with Lux in a package deal. But not really, since she's not one to really deal with Guy's package. At any rate, Zaire wasn't the doxy type and therefore she fell more easily into the role of face-breaking bouncer to help Stomp keep The Grin clean of any cavities. If there's anything that Zaire and Guy bonded over, it's rum.

Answering his call for a barkeep, to keep the bar, was a girl by the name of Salome. The fact that her rack came in the door before she did was enough to get her hired by Guy. In fact, he never even really asked for any other qualifications. Turns out, though, when she decided to show him her stuff, she was more talented than he could've even begin to guess. Looks like Guy's love for the rack was a subconscious good business decision.

During a semi-busy night at the Grinning Guardian is where Guy managed to pick up Genevieve Fenway, the not-so-famous dancer. Not that she's anything special or even has anything special to look at (according to Guy), but it could bring some of the more snooty clintele in and that's a good enough reason to throw someone on the line up with comediennes and illusionists.

Guy Fitzwater is an opportunist. When he sees an opportunity (to make money) he's jumping all over it like women do him when he walks into a tavern. At any rate, his latest opportunity that knocked on his sexy forehead was that of throwing a party with the illustrious Baroness Phoebe to celebrate The Night The Tide Changed and it was a smash success. Not only did he gain the praise of the Imperial Family, but he's also started a somewhat working relationship with Baroness Forester. Not to mention the fact that this has been a very good deal for business. In fact, his profits have doubled in the last month. This has opened the door to new possible ventures and even a little charity work as the Guardian's proceeds from The Night The Tide Changed were donated to the local orphanage. What a Guy.

Still in the vein of that whole opportunist thing, Guy Fitzwater found himself running for office of Guildmaster to throw some change and liven up the Merchant's Guild. Of course, being nothing more than a pimp, the votes fell in any direction but his. The race was close... between the other two candidates and Guy Fitzwater has returned to doing what he does best: Selling Women. Rumors have circulated around Guy's post-election way of life, from him being in a drunken stupor to just not giving a crap about the election after it was all over. Who really knows the truth. What is apparent, though, is that he's thrown himself deep into his work. Really deep.

When you're as epic as Guy Fitzwater, you do things that are, well, epic. Things like walking your whores through the Plaza of the Keeper and then letting them run wild and throw ale and fight and generally be a nuisance to the entire Isle of Gateway. That's what Guy's done with his first official whore-sanctioned: Guy's Night Out. The good news is that nobody went to jail, that he knows of and everybody had a good time. Whoever has to clean up that mess after them, though, better be asking for a raise. Because: Dayum!

Enter the bad news. While Fitz hasn't really taken the time to speak about anything that's happened to him, due to the most recent events of sadness, it has become somewhat clear that he spent quite a few days on Draught, where his family was. Both of his brothers died, rumors say. Which leaves Guy as the last remaining Fitzwater, as far as he knows. His return to Gateway has been greatly understated, as there are much more important matter going on. Rather than reach for the spotlight, as per his usual nature, Guy seems to be heading in a more generous direction. Choosing, instead, to provide entertainment, pleasure and a general "it feels good" vibe to the Citizens of Gateway, in these dark times. The question is... can he do it?

Attractive: Being eye candy is both a skill and a talent, and Guy has this in more spades than a cheating card game. This is something that he's been using to his advantage for his entire life, and now he has shaped his looks into a weapon against females everywhere. And maybe even some males. With a charming smile or simple seduction, Guy often finds people eating out of his hand. Or at least considering it.

Business: Guy earned his degree in business, with honors, from the School of Hard ... well, let's just say it rhymes with Knocks. Anyway, he's been well taught by his Brainy Brother and his father, thus giving him a solid enough foundation to come into his own conclusions and standings about business. This, of course, has given him the know how to be able to deal with most business ventures, legal or illegal. He does not hesitate to inject himself into conversations or other people's affairs to further his ends and he has a good grasp on how to manage his money. Young, he may be, and he may still have a few things to learn, but he is also remarkably well suited to business.

Con Artist: There are some things that are not easily taught to the wrong mind, and the ways of the con artist are one of them. Everything from fast talking to talking too much to re-administration and redistribution of money and power that he doesn't even have, Guy knows how to lie, act, and fake his way through a number of situations. He prefers letting other people con themselves, using his words to simply facilitate the lies that he has allowed his marks to create themselves. He's very adept at what he does, and it is difficult to catch him at it.

Contacts: It really is who you know. Guy's business ventures have given him a very large number of contacts. They, in turn, know more people, and so on. It's just the way the world works, at least, Guy's World. It's not difficult for Guy to send a message to somebody else he knows in order to get something done. Most of his contacts are seedier and illegal types which give him favors of the same, but when you're in the line of work that Guy is in, the more bad contacts you have the better. In a nutshell, Guy knows a guy.

Forgery: If there's anything that Guy excelled at when he was a small child it was handwriting. He's developed this talent over the years, he's become a very accomplished forger. He mostly uses this to forge official documentation, but has been known to scribe a letter on occasion. While he cannot recreate the officials' seals, yet, he is very comfortable with greasing a few palms to get access to the ones who own them. Or attempting a very dangerous pickpocket attempt.

Gambling: Guy spent many a day in gambling establishments and lifelong gamblers when he was running his father's tavern. Therefore, he's managed to amass a certain general knowledge about cards and dice and other avenues of wager making entertainment. He's well-versed in a wide range of cheats, particularly in cards. These are used to his advantage whenever the opportunity arises. He knows how to bluff and does it well, while also counting cards and even specific strategies on how to read opponents. These strategies won't work all the time, because there's always someone better than he is, out there. But he's very capable of holding his own in a game.

Sex: Without going into the raunchy details (that some of you would like), Guy knows what he's doing: how to guide, how to lead, how to follow, how to have a good time. All in all, he's heard no complaints about his performance, other than the fact that maybe he's a little addicted. But, well, is that really something to complain about?

Sleight of Hand: Palming and the old bait & switch, misdirection and pickpocketing are all some of the skills that come along with this talent. He's not the best in the world nor is he average. He's somewhere along the lines of good enough to pull a few magical tricks out of his hat and get away with it. This is just something used to compliment his con artistry, not a talent he wants to take on the road.

Spin Doctor: Guy is the type to play with words, and he considers himself to be something of a spin doctor and he tends to talk circles around many people. He's not intellectual or educated so much as he's capable of taking words, twisting meanings or even outright flipping the verbal script of something by adding in a verbal comma where there was previously none. It's not what he says, it's how he says it.

Alcoholic: Guy is an alcoholic, plain and simple. Fortunately, he's a fun drunk and not one of the crazy dudes that goes around starting fights and beating up on those he views as lesser beings. However, he gets remarkably cranky and increasingly unpleasant the longer he has to go without a drink. Fortunately, he owns the damned bar.

Chauvinist: Guy was taught and believes that men are the superior gender. It's a general thought that always lingers in his mind, and he uses it to justify the way he treats females as little more than objects and playthings. If they ever decide to revolt or something, he's going to be in some serious trouble.

Commitment: Guy is physically allergic to commitment of any kind. Exclusive relationships, marriage, love. While this isn't really an allergy, he's so against it that he will twitch and exhibit physical signs of a "sickly" nature, depending on how immersed in the ickyness he is.

Coward: There's no denying the fact that Guy likes to keep himself out of trouble. He's not the turn tail and run type so much as he's the weasel his way out of dangerous situations until he has room to turn tail and run. He'll often even back down from confrontations that involve larger and more muscular people, just to make sure he doesn't get himself beat down something fierce. His profession makes it so that knowing how to throw a punch is essential, but he will do everything in his power to avoid taking one.

Debt: Guy owes money and favors to a lot of people. Because of those people, he's amassed the comfortable living that he now enjoys. People are, therefore, more than likely going to be coming to collect and that could prove to be disastrous for both Guy and the Grinning Guardian.

Egotistical: Guy can't see past his own greatness and that proves to be something that gets him into trouble. He thinks he knows everything and probably even believes half the stuff he's said he's done, but what it really comes down to is the fact that he's in love with himself and can never do anything wrong in his own eyes.

Selfish: Thinking and caring only about himself is a fast way to not having any friends when the time comes. He's loyal to himself and will go out of his way to make sure himself is the one surviving or coming out on top. This, in turn, will piss off a lot of people, burn bridges and possibly make more enemies than he's prepared to deal with.

Sex Addict: Due to the nature of his job and his lack of respect for the female form, Guy is something of a sex addict. It's actually a problem that comes up more often than not; he can be swayed from his duties or his best interests' course. When a habit makes you dependent on it, it becomes a vice and that's a grip that's very difficult to get out of.

Wanted: And not in the good way. While in his younger days, pulling small cons off was fun. But when he got older and started to play with the big boys, he pissed off a lot of people. Some have power now and some are players with those that have power. All of them want to find Guy and break a different bone in his body. This, of course, doesn't keep Guy from living it up, which will make it easier for these blokes to come and take care of business.

Harem: One of the easiest ways to be in sync with the crazy sexiness that is Guy Fitzwater is to be part of his harem. That's right, the Pimp That Makes You Limp has so many girls that he had to stop calling them girlfriends and call the collective his harem. Being one of his ladies is a good way to get in the mix with things.

Exes: Basically, the exes are like the harem... except they hate Guy, rather than worship the sexy hair. Some of them may even want to kill him, depending on how bad they've been conned in the past.

Customers: The Grinning Guardian has quite a few different facets for people to come by and be customers of. There's sex, gambling, a bar and even food. If you're looking for a place to hang or need a dive to slum it in, try the Grinning Guardian on for size! You might even get to RP with his Royal Sexiness.

Regulars: It's like Cheers... with sex.

People That Want Guy Dead: Guy has ticked off a lot of people in his day, being a hustler and a con artist. Not to mention he's a bit of a jerk. So there's quite a few people he owes money too, either rightfully or otherwise, that may or may not want to do him physical harm.

Mom: He never met her. Barely knows she exists. Talk to Guy on game if you want to bring this woman to life.

Contacts: Being a sleazebag means that Guy knows all sorts of unsavory types, from small time hoods to big name crimelords. He's not exactly friends with them all, but knowing is half the battle, right?
