<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">'' '' </div></div>
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Family and Distant Relatives:''' It is canon that Alus and Arc did not have any close family members besides their deceased adoptive father, so this would be very easy to implement if you so desired! Looking for Elezen or Miqo'te characters unless you're related by marriage. If you just want to metaphorically adopt them as your siblings or kids, you can try. LOL
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Jeweler:''' Upon hearing his name, you may recognize it as a somewhat renowned Ul'dahn goldsmith known for his skill in sculpting small flowers out of metal in his jewelry and etching beautiful nouveau-style patterns into weapons and armor. Although not the greatest nor most famous goldsmith of Ul'dah by far, he has obtained some renown from eccentrics who adore floral patterns, most likely mostly those who originate from The Shroud - though his designs feel 'off' from traditional patterns and works of the arts in Gridania. This may either feel refreshing to you or slightly irritating, depending on your taste.</font></div>
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Paladin:''' Although rarely seen in the easily-recognizable Paladin garb as of late, Alus is still one to enforce the law - Those who dare to commit a crime on him (ie pickpocketing) will be surprised to find that he is surprisingly forgiving.. However, you may still be lectured. Those who commit a crime in close proximity to him - especially to a lady - will not be so easily forgiven. If the crime is victimless or has is minor and has no witnesses, he will try to talk to you about it instead of immediately arresting you. If your character is polite, you may walk away completely scot-free -- Alus is unfortunately very trusting and easy to manipulate.</font></div>
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''The Fashionista:''' Alus' favoritism of floral decorations upon his body is seen as surprisingly unusual, especially in Thanalan. I believe just commenting on it is enough to start some sort of conversation, but be forewarned - This guy loves fashion, and will talk about it a lot in detail. It's a good way to make him start talking, but you better know how to reply.</font></div>
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Body Guard?:''' Although Alus never really specifically looks out for odd jobs outside of the military that expect physical confrontations, he'd still be up for accepting such a job if it were offered to him. He would make an excellent side to someone elegant or rich, or anyone in general who likes to look good, due to his handsome and gentlemanly appearance. Be warned, though - He isn't experienced as a male escort or anything like that. He feels uncomfortable if you try to casually touch him (ie holding his arm, leaning on him, patting him on the back/head/etc.) without asking first.</font></div>
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''The Low-voiced Lady:''' For flirtatious characters who favor women (and have somewhat low perception), hitting on Alus could make for an interesting situation. However, don't accuse him of dating his brother, Arc - he will become irritated quickly. If your character doesn't have a problem with Arc being physically male if he looks girlish, he may feel frustrated if you think of him as fragile.</font></div>
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Cafe Proprietor:''' Alus has stapled to his back a poster of Cafe Nobilitea - an address and store bells are listed. See "Haven Nobilitea" tab.</font></div>
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Prince on a White Horse:''' Alus has, in the past, roamed around Thanalan healing adventurers. He usually doesn't stop to talk to them afterwards - just smiles and salutes - and runs off to heal the next person. Although he has done it enough at this point that he doesn't think twice about it, characters who are more lonely or in dire situations may think of him as a savior.</font></div>
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Fellow Militia:''' Characters employed by the Maelstorm military to carry out war-oriented tasks may remember fighting alongside him and his brother. Alus and Arc are not particularly high-ranked soldiers but deserve respect for their services.</font></div>
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''Mistaken Identity:''' Alus' twin brother, Arc, works at the Drowning Wench in his off-time. Be forewarned though that although they are identical twins physically, many traits of their appearance are different including their hair length, clothing style, color scheme and even some tattoos.</font></div>
:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ '''The Elusive Elezen:''' Is this racism? If you play as an Elezen character, especially an Elezen male, you don't have to do much more than show some interest in Alus for him to follow you until the ends of the earth.</font></div>

:<div align=justify><font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">■ If I make a mistake with the lore, please send me a /tell correcting me. I want to always learn more. If you want to correct Alus IC, that's fine, just don't be mean about it please.</font></div>

:You spot a dandy man dressed up in flowers-- His lapel has flowers, his hair is riddled with flowers, his jewelry is full of silk flowers, and his hat is practically an entire bouquet of flowers! Pressed pants, spotlessly clean clothes-- His fancy dressing style gives you the impression that he is ready to attend a garden party of nobility at any moment. Hardly no skin is exposed on him besides his face and hands. His brightly colored clothes make him practically radiate cheerfulness. His body language is careful and dignified. He words things carefully with a strong and typically heroic-sounding voice. His smiles are big and exaggerated. Besides his muscle mass, he looks nothing like an adventurer, nor even intimidating enough to be a bouncer. He is followed around by a fledgling Dodo who follows him like it's its' mother. When he gets angry at [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Arc_Beauregard his brother], he seems to have trouble controlling his body movement and constantly corrects himself.

:: <div style="padding:5px;font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#9d928a;" size="2">■</font> '''Seeing him in armor''': A 5'8" pile of shining white metal is what most could easily conclude to be a "Paladin". However, his head is exposed -- his long hair flowing freely, and a heavy metal crown of gold sits across his forehead. His shield is big enough to cover his whole body if he was kneeling down, and his sword.. Appears to be made of a soft wood.

:: <div style="padding:5px;font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#9d928a;" size="2">■</font> '''You spot a woman?''': You spot a handsome Miqo'te woman in a fine noble pink dress; her skin is completely covered besides her face and hands, her clothes clean and beautiful. She tries to avoid making eye contact with anyone around her, and tends to step away from the crowd. She's very unusually tall for a Miqo'te lass, and seems a bit on the huskier side for size. Upon hearing her voice as she speaks to an acquaintance, she speaks in a low man's voice - it could not be mistaken for a female's voice at all. You quickly realize this is a man in drag.

:: <div style="padding:5px;font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#9d928a;" size="2">■</font> '''The Rare Nakedness''': If you were ever to spot Alus with his legs, arms, or chest exposed - you would see many noticeable scars.

::: ''Disclaimer: Please only view this information if your character has IC watched Alus in-game without him knowing about it. This information should be used '''extremely''' sparingly.''
:::<spoiler show="show_message" hide="hide_message">His face is so much different than when he's communicating with others; it's so expressionless and even melancholy. When he believes he is completely alone, or in the very least a less populated area, he seems to act so much more.. 'normal'. His body language becomes more lazy and casual, he seems to have much less control over his body, and he seems to mutter things under his breath constantly. </spoiler>

<div style="padding:5px;font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#9d928a;" size="2">■</font> <big>'''Upon closer inspection'''</big>
: He smells strongly of sweet-scented flowers. His long hair is neatly braided, and his shave is excellently clean-cut. His nails are slightly longer than expected and perfectly manicured, sometimes painted pink. His teeth are a sparkling healthy white. His pants are pressed, his clothes are wrinkleless; This is the most stereotypical depiction of a nobleman that you can imagine.

<div style="padding:5px;font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#9d928a;" size="2">■</font> <big>'''After being around him for awhile'''</big>
After being around him for awhile:
You come to realize that Alus might just be socially awkward. Although his body language is loud and obnoxious, he is also constantly trying to keep himself in check-- he just doesn't seem to always realize that he's being so obnoxious at first. Maybe he's a hypocrite, though? He really needs to break this habit.

:'''Note''': The information provided here is very minimal on purpose. This is pretty much how he introduces himself. Please ask him about what you want to know otherwise.

: Alus Beauregard is the twin brother of [[Arc Beauregard]], and the adopted son to the travelling Elezen merchant, Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them. He grew up travelling around with Gwenneg and his brother across Eorzea selling herbs and small trinkets. A year or two after the Calamity, the teenage Alus and Arc split up to go their own separate ways; Alus went to a small college for a few years and finally dropped out due to bad grades; his head was always in the clouds about starting an adventure once again. The brothers met again by complete chance and have been as close as they were as children ever since.

: Alus acts now a major asset to the Maelstrom military as an adventurer, fighter, and strategist, along with his brother. He seems to regret this choice in life, and seems passionate about solving conflict without bloodshed.. Though he still fights regardless, only after much procrastinating-- Of which the Maelstrom does not appreciate.

:A life-long dream of Alus' has to be to open a tea house. After saving up money from adventuring and an artistry hobby, Alus finally obtained property within an apartment, and spent a good month decorating to finally open up Cafe Nobilitea.

:Upon entering, the feeling of a cool breeze washes over you. Your nostrils are immediately filled with the aroma of sweet cream, then the calming flavor of savory herbal tea. A red-headed Roegadyn woman in an elegant maid's uniform greets you with a calm voice from behind the counter, and motions you to sit wherever you wish. A second after choosing your seat, a Miqo'te maiden appears at your table to supply you with a menu. Nearby, slow piano music plays. A man-- Alus-- sits at the piano, playing with his eyes closed-- he seems unaware of the world around him, even of your entering the cafe. As you look around the room, you realize how blindly brightly colored it is-- A feeling of absolute peace washes over you: this is a place to get away from the gritty worries of reasonable reality.

:As you look around the room, you notice several things:
:-Above the stove rests a planter full of fresh camomile.
:-The cake display near the entrance is riddled with cleverly hidden ice shards, presumably to keep the cakes fresh during business hours. This also seems to help keep the flowers around them fresh, as well.
:-The flowers in the vases on the tables are fake, though a convincing fake; the petals seem to be made of silk. You could swear they still smell like real flowers.
:-After staring in the direction of the piano for awhile, you actually notice a futon discreetly rolled up in the corner next to the piano. ''Does he sleep here?''
:-A bookshelf sits in the corner; nearly every book on it appears to be a fictional adventure novel. You also spot a few romance novels. On the top shelf: a combat technique book for gladiators, several books describing doman techniques for meditation and physical/mental self-betterment, and half a dozen cook books. The only cook book that is untouched is one describing recipes for spicy foods; all the rest are for sweets and desserts-- lovingly worn after frequent reading. A mysterious unmarked book with a hand-made hard leather cover and a small lock on it also catches your eye-- As you pick it up, the cover falls off a bit, and you can read part of it's cover to guess the title: "Tea for Dummies".

===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Appearance</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFashionista The Fashionista] - One of Alus' major interests and passions is fashion, to the point that it can become self-destructive on his wallet.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LongHairedPrettyBoy Long-Haired Pretty Boy] - Self-explanatory.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WholesomeCrossdresser Wholesome Crossdresser] - Alus tried on a dress one day as a joke, but really liked how cute he looked in it. He becomes easily offended if someone accuses him of being Arc's girlfriend mistakenly.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FlowerMotifs Flower Motifs] - Alus' famed flower hat and flower-themed accessories. Alus also carries around fresh flowers in his bag to give away to strangers.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightIsGood Light Is Good] - Alus feels that pastel or brightly-colored clothing comes off as friendly and cheerful.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobleMaleRoguishMale Noble Male, Roguish Male] - Arc and Alus' contrast in appearance and personality captures this trope to a T.
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Personality</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SiblingYinYang Sibling Yin Yang] - Arc's wild, vulgar and pessimistic personality contrasts highly to Alus' polite, optimistic, and blindly trusting traits.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InTouchWithHisFeminineSide In Touch With His Feminine Side] - Alus' interests of tea making, floriography, poetry, fashion, and pacifism are all traditionally more feminine traits. His appearance can also be called feminine.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveYouAndEverybody Love You And Everybody] - Alus is overjoyed at the concept of platonic love of his friends and comrades, and is actually really picky of who he deems worthy of real romantic attention. This can be confusing to his acquaintances.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllLovingHero All-Loving Hero] - Just read the article.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HiddenDepths Hidden Depths] - On the surface, Alus comes off as bubbly, simple-minded and innocent, perhaps even stupid or slightly crazy to the more pessimistic mind. In truth, he makes a fantastic gritty philosophical discussion; he thinks every aspect of his morality and way of seeing life to the very last detail.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidGood Stupid Good] - Tends to let the law slip a bit in favor of friendliness and happiness. He's not unashamed about it. Perhaps he's even a little spineless, even if he fully ''believes'' in the law.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam Large Ham] - Alus models himself off of old fairytales of heroic knights in shining armor and Prince Charmings, and tends to prattle off heroic guidelines of self-care.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouTalkTooMuch You Talk Too Much] - Alus tends to worry about not conveying his words properly, so he just speaks ''more'' to make his point as clear as possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StepfordSmiler Stepford Smiler] - Alus seems to smile a lot more than other people to the point that his smile becomes creepy, eerie and unnerving to those who dare make him upset - but his expression rarely ever seems completely honest.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoshdangItToHeck Goshdang It To Heck!] - Alus finds vulgarity and adult swearing to be some of the worst violations of being a gentleman.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Snakes] - Alus' intense dislike of slugs can sometimes hinder his missions.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WarriorPoet Warrior Poet] - Tends to overthink his morals.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloudCuckoolander Cloudcuckoolander] - Alus' seemingly random topics of speech can come off as baffling to some people. His way of thinking can be unpredictable to others due to his tendency to live in his own little world.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGamblingAddict The Gambling Addict] (which is a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompressedVice Compressed Vice]) - Alus tends to get really worked up when a game of chance is presented to him, for instance at a carnival or faire. He tends to view most things in life also as a form of gambling, like goldsmithing, cooking, or even battle.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReluctantWarrior Reluctant Warrior] - Technically a pacifist, but '''not''' a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TechnicalPacifist Technical Pacifist].
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeclarationOfProtection Declaration of Protection] - Although mostly directed towards his brother (the only one he considers truly a close person to him) Alus always tends to put others' safety in battle before his own.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CannotTalkToWomen Cannot Talk To Women] - Alus grew up around mostly men, leaving him rather ignorant of women. He tends to look up to and even maybe idolize women, making him very nervous to be around them.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BareFistedMonk Bare-Fisted Monk] - Alus is training in martial arts to help hone his body and mind, and to cause less damage to others and more to himself as a punishment for inflicting pain to begin with. By extension, this trope is [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroesFightBarehanded Heroes Fight Barehanded] in this case.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoesntLikeGuns Doesn't Like Guns] - Alus doesn't have any backstory to this. He just really doesn't like the idea of being able to instantly kill someone at the pull of a trigger from a long distance. It's pretty ironic since he's associated with the Maelstrom.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned yet mysterious Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play, oft wearing something too flashy for normal wear. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring lifestyle, Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and permanent scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Cam-Clarke/ Cam Clarke] (ENG) [http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Hideyuki-Tanaka/ Hideyuki Tanaka] (JP).)
==Expression==
: His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant-- but still expressive-- just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has very rarely been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as intensely fuming or harming inanimate objects. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he meets with him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger (being especially nervous around beautiful women.) On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, whilst underneath the sunshine of his outer expression, he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: Alus' trusting nature can sometimes get him in danger, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.
: He tends to take planning very seriously, and might be the first to speak up about a potential plan in most situations, though he insistently open to discussion. He takes his sworn duties of personal moral code with utmost attention.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halves. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun, taking careful care of their shrines.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually that of Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him (pun intended) as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: Alus has recently taken up martial arts as a way to help hone his body and mind with rigorous training. If he ever raises his fists towards a living enemy, his hands are always bare, protected only by his skin. His reasoning for learning these arts is technically pacifistic in nature; he believes that this is a much fairer and honest way to fight. Alus has picked up this style of martial arts from observing many different teachings, including that of the Thieves' Guild, a group his brother ''very'' much dislikes. ((Overall, Alus' style is very much like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeira capoeira], combining dance with combat. If Dancer was a class, that's what Alus would be.))

=Commonly Known History=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Commonly Known History'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

Love is something Alus takes very seriously and with great loyalty, though you can become the apple of his eye fairly easily if you make it clear to him that he has a chance to begin with.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who enjoy social player events, whether it's going to them or organizing them.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Any newbies who need a little guidance. Alus' free company as a policy of "No questions asked" for joining and leaving his group, so you should feel free to ask for his help or even temporarily, or permanently, join for their services.
<center> '''OOC'''</center>
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who enjoy roleplaying while also doing something else, like adventuring in the field, taking a leisurely walk, gaming at the gold saucer, etc. I find this just generally more conversational and enjoyable for both parties to have something to actively remark upon.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> RP that might be similar to the "Rapid-Fire" RP style; Folks who RP at near-realtime. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a fast typist, but I'd really appreciate if you at least used some sort of short-hand. For example; using default emote descriptions instead of manually written out ones, saying only a few words at a time, not bothering with symbols like quote/on-quote, or even not using absolute proper grammar. I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot~ Teach me, senpais!
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who are casual enough that they don't mind merging the game's fourth wall into their RP universe. Telling me to believe something obviously not possible within the game's mechanics is kind of frustrating to me, but making fun of someone's typo as accidentally slurred speech is ''fantastic''.

=TV Tropes=
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Appearance</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFashionista The Fashionista] - One of Alus' major interests and passions is fashion, to the point that it can become self-destructive on his wallet.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LongHairedPrettyBoy Long-Haired Pretty Boy] - Self-explanatory.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WholesomeCrossdresser Wholesome Crossdresser] - Alus tried on a dress one day as a joke, but really liked how cute he looked in it. He becomes easily offended if someone accuses him of being Arc's girlfriend mistakenly.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FlowerMotifs Flower Motifs] - Alus' famed flower hat and flower-themed accessories. Alus also carries around fresh flowers in his bag to give away to strangers.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightIsGood Light Is Good] - Alus feels that pastel or brightly-colored clothing comes off as friendly and cheerful.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobleMaleRoguishMale Noble Male, Roguish Male] - Arc and Alus' contrast in appearance and personality captures this trope to a T.
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Personality</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SiblingYinYang Sibling Yin Yang] - Arc's wild, vulgar and pessimistic personality contrasts highly to Alus' polite, optimistic, and blindly trusting traits.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InTouchWithHisFeminineSide In Touch With His Feminine Side] - Alus' interests of tea making, floriography, poetry, fashion, and pacifism are all traditionally more feminine traits. His appearance can also be called feminine.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveYouAndEverybody Love You And Everybody] - Alus is overjoyed at the concept of platonic love of his friends and comrades, and is actually really picky of who he deems worthy of real romantic attention. This can be confusing to his acquaintances.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllLovingHero All-Loving Hero] - Just read the article.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HiddenDepths Hidden Depths] - On the surface, Alus comes off as bubbly, simple-minded and innocent, perhaps even stupid or slightly crazy to the more pessimistic mind. In truth, he makes a fantastic gritty philosophical discussion; he thinks every aspect of his morality and way of seeing life to the very last detail.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidGood Stupid Good] - Tends to let the law slip a bit in favor of friendliness and happiness. He's not unashamed about it. Perhaps he's even a little spineless, even if he fully ''believes'' in the law.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam Large Ham] - Alus models himself off of old fairytales of heroic knights in shining armor and Prince Charmings, and tends to prattle off heroic guidelines of self-care.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouTalkTooMuch You Talk Too Much] - Alus tends to worry about not conveying his words properly, so he just speaks ''more'' to make his point as clear as possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoshdangItToHeck Goshdang It To Heck!] - Alus finds vulgarity and adult swearing to be some of the worst violations of being a gentleman.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Snakes] - Alus' intense dislike of slugs can sometimes hinder his missions.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WarriorPoet Warrior Poet] - Tends to overthink his morals.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloudCuckoolander Cloudcuckoolander] - Alus' seemingly random topics of speech can come off as baffling to some people. His way of thinking can be unpredictable to others.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGamblingAddict The Gambling Addict] (which is a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompressedVice Compressed Vice]) - Alus tends to get really worked up when a game of chance is presented to him, for instance at a carnival or faire. He tends to view most things in life also as a form of gambling, like goldsmithing, cooking, or even battle.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReluctantWarrior Reluctant Warrior] - Technically a pacifist, but not a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TechnicalPacifist Technical Pacifist].
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeclarationOfProtection Declaration of Protection] - Although mostly directed towards his brother (the only one he considers truly a close person to him) Alus always tends to put others' safety in battle before his own.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CannotTalkToWomen Cannot Talk To Women] - Alus grew up around mostly men, leaving him rather ignorant of women. He tends to look up to and even maybe idolize women, making him very nervous to be around them.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BareFistedMonk Bare-Fisted Monk] - Alus is training in martial arts to help hone his body and mind, and to cause less damage to others and more to himself as a punishment for inflicting pain to begin with. By extension, this trope is [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroesFightBarehanded Heroes Fight Barehanded] in this case.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoesntLikeGuns Doesn't Like Guns] - Alus doesn't have any backstory to this. He just really doesn't like the idea of being able to instantly kill someone at the pull of a trigger from a long distance. It's pretty ironic since he's associated with the Maelstrom.

===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Story</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bathos Bathos] - Arc and Alus' story tends to fluctuate between constant comic relief and deep philosophical discussion of life and death. It's a balance like the scales of Nald'Thal.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicNeutral Heroic Neutral] - Alus procrastinates on fighting, avoiding responsibility altogether some days.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConflictingLoyalty Conflicting Loyalty] - Alus' conflict with having to use violence in order to solve problems in war the fastest way possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmiteMeOMightySmiter Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!] - At the falling of his comrades in war, Alus asks Thal if the balance is truly tipped equally in the world.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnfitForGreatness Unfit For Greatness] - Alus set out the beginning of his journey to become a hero, but has realized that to achieve that he must hurt others, something he has a constant struggle with doing. Alus has extreme difficulty backing out of his high standing as a warrior in the military because his skills for fighting are highly valued.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken].

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned yet mysterious Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play, oft wearing something too flashy for normal wear. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring lifestyle, Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and permanent scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Cam-Clarke/ Cam Clarke] (ENG) [http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/Hideyuki-Tanaka/ Hideyuki Tanaka] (JP).)
==Expression==
: His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant-- but still expressive-- just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has very rarely been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as intensely fuming or harming inanimate objects. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he meets with him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger (being especially nervous around beautiful women.) On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, whilst underneath the sunshine of his outer expression, he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: Alus' trusting nature can sometimes get him in danger, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.
: He tends to take planning very seriously, and might be the first to speak up about a potential plan in most situations, though he insistently open to discussion. He takes his sworn duties of personal moral code with utmost attention.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halves. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun, taking careful care of their shrines.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually that of Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him (pun intended) as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: Alus has recently taken up martial arts as a way to help hone his body and mind with rigorous training. If he ever raises his fists towards a living enemy, his hands are always bare, protected only by his skin. His reasoning for learning these arts is technically pacifistic in nature; he believes that this is a much fairer and honest way to fight. Alus has picked up this style of martial arts from observing many different teachings, including that of the Thieves' Guild, a group his brother ''very'' much dislikes. ((Overall, Alus' style is very much like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeira capoeira], combining dance with combat. If Dancer was a class, that's what Alus would be.))

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Alus, Arc and Gwenneg were seen traveling around a lot when the brothers were children. Older characters might have met Gwenneg at one point or another, before or after he adopted the children.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character has a criminal background, you might act nervous around Alus while he is wearing armor, as his appearance while wearing such is very obviously Paladin-like.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> In contrast, if you're an aspiring Paladin or Knight, you could geek out at Alus in his Paladin wear a little bit. He'll love the attention, and will probably strike a pose and tell you to do good.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character is new at something, Alus will most definitely offer to help you learn about it, even if he is entirely unfamiliar with the subject. This is part of his self-sworn duty as a member of the Guiding Stars free company.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> While Alus is wearing off-duty clothing, bringing up the subject of fashion is almost definitely a conversation starter.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Bringing up the subjects of floriography, tea, or sweets making. He loves discussing different meaning interpretations on the same flower, and he is currently in training to become an amateur tea master and cook.

: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Alus is indeed single, but he has difficulty discerning the difference between a flirtatious personality and someone who is looking at him seriously. Be straightforward with him if you are actually interested. Love is something Alus takes very seriously and with great loyalty, though you can become the apple of his eye fairly easily if you make it clear to him that he has a chance to begin with.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who enjoy social player events, whether it's going to them or organizing them.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Any newbies who need a little guidance. Alus' free company as a policy of "No questions asked" for joining and leaving his group, so you should feel free to ask for his help or even temporarily, or permanently, join for their services.

: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who enjoy roleplaying while also doing something else, like adventuring in the field, taking a leisurely walk, gaming at the gold saucer, etc. I find this just generally more conversational and enjoyable for both parties to have something to actively remark upon.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> RP that might be similar to the "Rapid-Fire" RP style; Folks who RP at near-realtime. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a fast typist, but I'd really appreciate if you at least used some sort of short-hand. For example; using default emote descriptions instead of manually written out ones, saying only a few words at a time, not bothering with symbols like quote/on-quote, or even not using absolute proper grammar. I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot~ Teach me, senpais!
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who are casual enough that they don't mind merging the game's fourth wall into their RP universe. Telling me to believe something obviously not possible within the game's mechanics is kind of frustrating to me, but making fun of someone's typo as accidentally slurred speech is ''fantastic''.

=TV Tropes=
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Appearance</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFashionista The Fashionista] - One of Alus' major interests and passions is fashion, to the point that it can become self-destructive on his wallet.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LongHairedPrettyBoy Long-Haired Pretty Boy] - Self-explanatory.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WholesomeCrossdresser Wholesome Crossdresser] - Alus tried on a dress one day as a joke, but really liked how cute he looked in it. He becomes easily offended if someone accuses him of being Arc's girlfriend mistakenly.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FlowerMotifs Flower Motifs] - Alus' famed flower hat and flower-themed accessories. Alus also carries around fresh flowers in his bag to give away to strangers.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightIsGood Light Is Good] - Alus feels that pastel or brightly-colored clothing comes off as friendly and cheerful.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobleMaleRoguishMale Noble Male, Roguish Male] - Arc and Alus' contrast in appearance and personality captures this trope to a T.
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Personality</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SiblingYinYang Sibling Yin Yang] - Arc's wild, vulgar and pessimistic personality contrasts highly to Alus' polite, optimistic, and blindly trusting traits.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InTouchWithHisFeminineSide In Touch With His Feminine Side] - Alus' interests of tea making, floriography, poetry, fashion, and pacifism are all traditionally more feminine traits. His appearance can also be called feminine.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveYouAndEverybody Love You And Everybody] - Alus is overjoyed at the concept of platonic love of his friends and comrades, and is actually really picky of who he deems worthy of real romantic attention. This can be confusing to his acquaintances.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllLovingHero All-Loving Hero] - Just read the article.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HiddenDepths Hidden Depths] - On the surface, Alus comes off as bubbly, simple-minded and innocent, perhaps even stupid or slightly crazy to the more pessimistic mind. In truth, he makes a fantastic gritty philosophical discussion; he thinks every aspect of his morality and way of seeing life to the very last detail.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidGood Stupid Good] - Tends to let the law slip a bit in favor of friendliness and happiness. He's not unashamed about it. Perhaps he's even a little spineless, even if he fully ''believes'' in the law.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam Large Ham] - Alus models himself off of old fairytales of heroic knights in shining armor and Prince Charmings, and tends to prattle off heroic guidelines of self-care.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouTalkTooMuch You Talk Too Much] - Alus tends to worry about not conveying his words properly, so he just speaks ''more'' to make his point as clear as possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoshdangItToHeck Goshdang It To Heck!] - Alus finds vulgarity and adult swearing to be some of the worst violations of being a gentleman.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Snakes] - Alus' intense dislike of slugs can sometimes hinder his missions.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WarriorPoet Warrior Poet] - Tends to overthink his morals.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloudCuckoolander Cloudcuckoolander] - Alus' seemingly random topics of speech can come off as baffling to some people. His way of thinking can be unpredictable to others.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGamblingAddict The Gambling Addict] (which is a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompressedVice Compressed Vice]) - Alus tends to get really worked up when a game of chance is presented to him, for instance at a carnival or faire. He tends to view most things in life also as a form of gambling, like goldsmithing, cooking, or even battle.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReluctantWarrior Reluctant Warrior] - Technically a pacifist, but not a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TechnicalPacifist Technical Pacifist].
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeclarationOfProtection Declaration of Protection] - Although mostly directed towards his brother (the only one he considers truly a close person to him) Alus always tends to put others' safety in battle before his own.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CannotTalkToWomen Cannot Talk To Women] - Alus grew up around mostly men, leaving him rather ignorant of women. He tends to look up to and even maybe idolize women, making him very nervous to be around them.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BareFistedMonk Bare-Fisted Monk] - Alus is training in martial arts to help hone his body and mind, and to cause less damage to others and more to himself as a punishment for inflicting pain to begin with. By extension, this trope is [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroesFightBarehanded Heroes Fight Barehanded] in this case.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoesntLikeGuns Doesn't Like Guns] - Alus doesn't have any backstory to this. He just really doesn't like the idea of being able to instantly kill someone at the pull of a trigger from a long distance. It's pretty ironic since he's associated with the Maelstrom.

===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Story</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bathos Bathos] - Arc and Alus' story tends to fluctuate between constant comic relief and deep philosophical discussion of life and death. It's a balance like the scales of Nald'Thal.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicNeutral Heroic Neutral] - Alus procrastinates on fighting, avoiding responsibility altogether some days.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConflictingLoyalty Conflicting Loyalty] - Alus' conflict with having to use violence in order to solve problems in war the fastest way possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmiteMeOMightySmiter Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!] - At the falling of his comrades in war, Alus asks Thal if the balance is truly tipped equally in the world.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnfitForGreatness Unfit For Greatness] - Alus set out the beginning of his journey to become a hero, but has realized that to achieve that he must hurt others, something he has a constant struggle with doing. Alus has extreme difficulty backing out of his high standing as a warrior in the military because his skills for fighting are highly valued.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken].

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned yet mysterious Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play, oft wearing something too flashy for normal wear. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring lifestyle, Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and permanent scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant-- but still expressive-- just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has very rarely been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as intensely fuming or harming inanimate objects. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he meets with him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger (being especially nervous around beautiful women.) On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, whilst underneath the sunshine of his outer expression, he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: Alus' trusting nature can sometimes get him in danger, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.
: He tends to take planning very seriously, and might be the first to speak up about a potential plan in most situations, though he insistently open to discussion. He takes his sworn duties of personal moral code with utmost attention.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halves. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun, taking careful care of their shrines.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually that of Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him (pun intended) as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: Alus has recently taken up martial arts as a way to help hone his body and mind with rigorous training. If he ever raises his fists towards a living enemy, his hands are always bare, protected only by his skin. His reasoning for learning these arts is technically pacifistic in nature; he believes that this is a much fairer and honest way to fight. Alus has picked up this style of martial arts from observing many different teachings, including that of the Thieves' Guild, a group his brother ''very'' much dislikes. ((Overall, Alus' style is very much like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capoeira capoeira], combining dance with combat. If Dancer was a class, that's what Alus would be.))

=Commonly Known History=

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal.

: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WholesomeCrossdresser Wholesome Crossdresser] - Alus tried on a dress one day as a joke, but really liked how cute he looked in it. He becomes easily offended if someone accuses him of being Arc's girlfriend mistakenly.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FlowerMotifs Flower Motifs] - Alus' famed flower hat and flower-themed accessories. Alus also carries around fresh flowers in his bag to give away to strangers.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightIsGood Light Is Good] - Alus feels that pastel or brightly-colored clothing comes off as friendly and cheerful.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobleMaleRoguishMale Noble Male, Roguish Male] - Arc and Alus' contrast in appearance and personality captures this trope to a T.
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Personality</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SiblingYinYang Sibling Yin Yang] - Arc's wild, vulgar and pessimistic personality contrasts highly to Alus' polite, optimistic, and blindly trusting traits.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InTouchWithHisFeminineSide In Touch With His Feminine Side] - Alus' interests of tea making, floriography, poetry, fashion, and pacifism are all traditionally more feminine traits. His appearance can also be called feminine.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveYouAndEverybody Love You And Everybody] - Alus is overjoyed at the concept of platonic love of his friends and comrades, and is actually really picky of who he deems worthy of real romantic attention. This can be confusing to his acquaintances.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllLovingHero All-Loving Hero] - Just read the article.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HiddenDepths Hidden Depths] - On the surface, Alus comes off as bubbly, simple-minded and innocent, perhaps even stupid or slightly crazy to the more pessimistic mind. In truth, he makes a fantastic gritty philosophical discussion; he thinks every aspect of his morality and way of seeing life to the very last detail.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidGood Stupid Good] - Tends to let the law slip a bit in favor of friendliness and happiness. He's not unashamed about it. Perhaps he's even a little spineless, even if he fully ''believes'' in the law.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam Large Ham] - Alus models himself off of old fairytales of heroic knights in shining armor and Prince Charmings, and tends to prattle off heroic guidelines of self-care.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouTalkTooMuch You Talk Too Much] - Alus tends to worry about not conveying his words properly, so he just speaks ''more'' to make his point as clear as possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoshdangItToHeck Goshdang It To Heck!] - Alus finds vulgarity and adult swearing to be some of the worst violations of being a gentleman.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Snakes] - Alus' intense dislike of slugs can sometimes hinder his missions.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WarriorPoet Warrior Poet] - Tends to overthink his morals.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloudCuckoolander Cloudcuckoolander] - Alus' seemingly random topics of speech can come off as baffling to some people. His way of thinking can be unpredictable to others.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGamblingAddict The Gambling Addict] (which is a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompressedVice Compressed Vice]) - Alus tends to get really worked up when a game of chance is presented to him, for instance at a carnival or faire. He tends to view most things in life also as a form of gambling, like goldsmithing, cooking, or even battle.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReluctantWarrior Reluctant Warrior] - Technically a pacifist, but not a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TechnicalPacifist Technical Pacifist].
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeclarationOfProtection Declaration of Protection] - Although mostly directed towards his brother (the only one he considers truly a close person to him) Alus always tends to put others' safety in battle before his own.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CannotTalkToWomen Cannot Talk To Women] - Alus grew up around mostly men, leaving him rather ignorant of women. He tends to look up to and even maybe idolize women, making him very nervous to be around them.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BareFistedMonk Bare-Fisted Monk] - Alus is training in martial arts to help hone his body and mind, and to cause less damage to others and more to himself as a punishment for inflicting pain to begin with. By extension, this trope is [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroesFightBarehanded Heroes Fight Barehanded] in this case.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoesntLikeGuns Doesn't Like Guns] - Alus doesn't have any backstory to this. He just really doesn't like the idea of being able to instantly kill someone at the pull of a trigger from a long distance. It's pretty ironic since he's associated with the Maelstrom.

===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Story</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bathos Bathos] - Arc and Alus' story tends to fluctuate between constant comic relief and deep philosophical discussion of life and death. It's a balance like the scales of Nald'Thal.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicNeutral Heroic Neutral] - Alus procrastinates on fighting, avoiding responsibility altogether some days.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConflictingLoyalty Conflicting Loyalty] - Alus' conflict with having to use violence in order to solve problems in war the fastest way possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmiteMeOMightySmiter Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!] - At the falling of his comrades in war, Alus asks Thal if the balance is truly tipped equally in the world.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnfitForGreatness Unfit For Greatness] - Alus set out the beginning of his journey to become a hero, but has realized that to achieve that he must hurt others, something he has a constant struggle with doing. Alus has extreme difficulty backing out of his high standing as a warrior in the military because his skills for fighting are highly valued.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken].

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with. He often wears his casual clothes when practicing other battle classes.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring lifestyle, Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and permanent scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled, with a decent, healthy-looking amount of fat over them. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: Alus is one to chuckle and smile a lot in normal conversation-- Even when conversations get suddenly overtly serious, he can still be rather nonchalant and breathy for awhile, unwilling to do a 180 and spoil his personal positive atmosphere too quickly. His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, sometimes inquisition, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a small, welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant, but still expressive, just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has very rarely been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as punching at the air or intensely fuming. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he meets with him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger (being especially nervous around beautiful women.) On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, whilst underneath the sunshine of his outer expression, he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: Alus' trusting nature can sometimes get him in danger, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life. However, in contrast to his normal personality, this does not stop him from speaking out pessimistically about the potentially dangerous situation as it's happening to his party members, this is perhaps to make them prepare to take things more seriously.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halves. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun, taking careful care of their shrines.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually that of Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him (pun intended), as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: In contrast, the few times he had tried a two-weapon fighting style used famously by thieves and assassins, he seemed to be having more fun in battle than he ever did, dancing wildly and beautifully as if he was on a dance floor more than a monster-infested field. He often feels conflicted about seeking out teachers of this style further, as not only is it often used by cold-blooded killers which he's greatly morally opposed to, his brother is ''very much'' disliking of the thieves' guild for personal reasons.
: (NEW) Alus has recently taken up eastern-style martial arts as a way to help hone his body and mind. If he ever raises his fists towards a living enemy, his hands are always bare, protected only by his skin. His reasoning for learning these pugilism arts is pacifist in nature.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Alus, Arc and Gwenneg were seen traveling around a lot when the brothers were children. Older characters might have met Gwenneg at one point or another, before or after he adopted the children.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character has a criminal background, you might act nervous around Alus while he is wearing armor, as his appearance while wearing such is very obviously Paladin-like.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> In contrast, if you're an aspiring Paladin or Knight, you could geek out at Alus in his Paladin wear a little bit. He'll love the attention, and will probably strike a pose and tell you not to do drugs.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character is new at something, Alus will most definitely offer to help you learn about it, even if he is entirely unfamiliar with the subject. This is part of his self-sworn duty as a member of the Guiding Stars free company.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> While Alus is wearing off-duty clothing, bringing up the subject of fashion is almost definitely a conversation starter.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Bringing up the subjects of floriography or tea. He loves discussing different meaning interpretations on the same flower, and he is currently in training to become an amateur tea master.

: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Alus is indeed single, but he has difficulty discerning the difference between a flirtatious personality and someone who is looking at him seriously. Be straightforward with him if you are actually interested. Love is something Alus takes very seriously and with great loyalty, though you can become the apple of his eye fairly easily if you make it clear to him that he has a chance to begin with.

: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Any newbies who need a little guidance. Alus' free company as a policy of "No questions asked" for joining and leaving his group, so you should feel free to ask for his help or even temporarily, or permanently, join for their services.
<center> '''OOC'''</center>
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who enjoy roleplaying while also doing something else, like adventuring in the field, taking a leisurely walk, gaming at the gold saucer, etc. I find this just generally more conversational and enjoyable for both parties to have something to actively remark upon.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who RP at near-realtime. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a fast typist, but I'd really appreciate if you at least used some sort of short-hand. For example; using default emote descriptions instead of manually written out ones, saying only a few words at a time, not bothering with symbols like quote/on-quote, or even not using absolute proper grammar. I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot. This type of RP might be similar to the "Rapid-Fire" RP style.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who are casual enough that they don't mind merging the game's fourth wall into their RP universe. Telling me to believe something obviously not possible within the game's mechanics is kind of frustrating to me, but making fun of someone's typo as accidentally slurred speech is ''fantastic''.

=TV Tropes=
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Appearance</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFashionista The Fashionista] - One of Alus' major interests and passions is fashion, to the point that it can become self-destructive on his wallet.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LongHairedPrettyBoy Long-Haired Pretty Boy] - Self-explanatory.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WholesomeCrossdresser Wholesome Crossdresser] - Alus tried on a dress one day as a joke, but really liked how cute he looked in it. He becomes easily offended if someone accuses him of being Arc's girlfriend mistakenly.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FlowerMotifs Flower Motifs] - Alus' famed flower hat and flower-themed accessories. Alus also carries around fresh flowers in his bag to give away to strangers.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightIsGood Light Is Good] - Alus feels that pastel or brightly-colored clothing comes off as friendly and cheerful.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobleMaleRoguishMale Noble Male, Roguish Male] - Arc and Alus' contrast in appearance and personality captures this trope to a T.
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Personality</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SiblingYinYang Sibling Yin Yang] - Arc's wild, vulgar and pessimistic personality contrasts highly to Alus' polite, optimistic, and blindly trusting traits.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InTouchWithHisFeminineSide In Touch With His Feminine Side] - Alus' interests of tea making, floriography, poetry, fashion, and pacifism are all traditionally more feminine traits. His appearance can also be called feminine.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveYouAndEverybody Love You And Everybody] - Alus is overjoyed at the concept of platonic love of his friends and comrades, and is actually really picky of who he deems worthy of real romantic attention. This can be confusing to his acquaintances.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllLovingHero All-Loving Hero] - Just read the article.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HiddenDepths Hidden Depths] - On the surface, Alus comes off as bubbly, simple-minded and innocent, perhaps even stupid or slightly crazy to the more pessimistic mind. In truth, he makes a fantastic gritty philosophical discussion; he thinks every aspect of his morality and way of seeing life to the very last detail.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidGood Stupid Good] - Tends to let the law slip a bit in favor of friendliness and happiness. He's not unashamed about it. Perhaps he's even a little spineless, even if he fully ''believes'' in the law.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam Large Ham] - Alus models himself off of old fairytales of heroic knights in shining armor and Prince Charmings, and tends to prattle off heroic guidelines of self-care.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouTalkTooMuch You Talk Too Much] - Alus tends to worry about not conveying his words properly, so he just speaks ''more'' to make his point as clear as possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoshdangItToHeck Goshdang It To Heck!] - Alus finds vulgarity and adult swearing to be some of the worst violations of being a gentleman.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Snakes] - Alus' intense dislike of slugs can sometimes hinder his missions.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WarriorPoet Warrior Poet] - Tends to overthink his morals.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloudCuckoolander Cloudcuckoolander] - Alus' seemingly random topics of speech can come off as baffling to some people. His way of thinking can be unpredictable to others.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGamblingAddict The Gambling Addict] (which is a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompressedVice Compressed Vice]) - Alus tends to get really worked up when a game of chance is presented to him, for instance at a carnival or faire. He tends to view most things in life also as a form of gambling, like goldsmithing, cooking, or even battle.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReluctantWarrior Reluctant Warrior] - Technically a pacifist, but not a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TechnicalPacifist Technical Pacifist].
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeclarationOfProtection Declaration of Protection] - Although mostly directed towards his brother (the only one he considers truly a close person to him) Alus always tends to put others' safety in battle before his own.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CannotTalkToWomen Cannot Talk To Women] - Alus grew up around mostly men, leaving him rather ignorant of women. He tends to look up to and even idolize women, making him very nervous to be around them.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BareFistedMonk Bare-Fisted Monk] - Alus is training in martial arts to help hone his body and mind, and to cause less damage to others and more to himself as a punishment for inflicting pain to begin with. By extension, this trope is [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroesFightBarehanded Heroes Fight Barehanded] in this case.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoesntLikeGuns Doesn't Like Guns] - Alus doesn't have any backstory to this. He just really doesn't like the idea of being able to instantly kill someone at the bull of a trigger from a long distance. It's pretty ironic since he's associated with the Maelstrom.

===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Story</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bathos Bathos] - Arc and Alus' story tends to fluctuate between constant comic relief and deep philosophical discussion of life and death. It's a balance like the scales of Nald'Thal.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WideEyedIdealist Wide-Eyed Idealist] - This repeatedly becomes the downfall of Alus once he realizes things aren't that easy.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicNeutral Heroic Neutral] - Alus procrastinates on fighting, avoiding responsibility altogether some days.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConflictingLoyalty Conflicting Loyalty] - Alus' conflict with having to use violence in order to solve problems in war the fastest way possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmiteMeOMightySmiter Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!] - At the falling of his comrades in war, Alus asks Thal if the balance is truly tipped equally in the world.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnfitForGreatness Unfit For Greatness] - Alus set out the beginning of his journey to become a hero, but has realized that to achieve that he must hurt others, something he has a constant struggle with doing. Alus has extreme difficulty backing out of his high standing as a warrior in the military because his skills for killing are highly valued.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken].

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

Arc Beauregard is a rogue dragoon and veteran bartender at the Drowning Wench. He is the twin brother of [[Alus Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a travelling Wildwood Elezen merchant, of which Arc’s surname is derived. His martial prowess and smithing services have earned him a place of honour within the Maelstrom’s ranks alongside his brother Alus. Despite the accolades, Arc is cynical about Grand Company domination of Eorzean society.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Arc isn’t deeply interested in fashion, but his travels and experiences as a bartender at Limsa Lominsa’s most popular bar have certainly influenced his tastes and preferences. This has contributed to the diversity of colour and style in his wardrobe; while working at home in Limsa he can often be found sporting a variety of brightly-coloured vests and sandals.

: Arc’s casual attire contrasts markedly with his choice of soot-black armour while adventuring or entering combat. He’ll tell you this decision was either arbitrary, or mutter something about inciting fear in his foes. The real reason is simply that he finds it easier to wash the bloodstains off black armour, especially considering he sees more of it up-close than his heavily-armoured brother, who dons a juxtaposing white suit of mail. The right shoulder plate of his mail is emblazoned with the emblem of the Guiding Stars. He will often invest in matching armour for his chocobo companion Vedrfolnir, with whom he has a close bond.

: He won his favourite outfit at a game of Triple Triad with Uodh Nunh. A garment passed down for generations within the U Tribe, it is a rare and masterful relic of Sunseeker Miqo’te culture, with which Arc remains fascinated. He saves this outfit for special occasions or while visiting the Golden Saucer.

: Whilst Arc is long-sighted, he rarely ever sports his glasses, saving these for occasions only where it is necessary. He is most often seen bespectacled while smithing or playing a round of Triple Triad.

==Physical==
: Like his brother, Arc is taller than most Miqo’te at 5 Fulm and 9 llm (5’9”/175cm), and has complete heterochromia. Sometime in between running away from his family and reuniting with Alus, Arc received the Sunseeker facial tattoos he now wears proudly in deference to this mythology he has constructed around his own heritage.

: Arc has maintained a similar physical appearance for several years, being reluctant to change the image he has cultivated for himself. His short blonde hair is tied in two medium-length braids at the sides of his face, both of which are fastened with unique ornaments he collected at some point before starting work at the Wench.

==Voice==
: Arc's voice is young and jovial. His speech is distinct from his brother's; whilst Alus aims for eloquence in his speech, Arc's speech is unmistakably marked with the accent and vernacular of Limsa Lominsa.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#A35A33; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Arc likes to come off as outgoing, friendly, charismatic and happy-go-lucky; what more would you expect from a bartender at the Wench!? It’s this persona that he most often slips into when meeting new people, partying or hanging out with groups. Get him alone, though, and you’ll quickly realise how fragile that persona is.

: Arc is a deeply thoughtful and introverted individual in truth, often to the point of cynicism. Years of travelling and trading in gossip as much as in drink have taught him many things about the darkest natures of Eorzean society. Because of this, he often expects the worst when encountering new people in precarious situations, and takes very slowly to anything resembling a genuine friendship.

: It is simultaneously these experiences that distance Arc from many people that attract him to his passion for helping those in need. From the vagrants of Ul’Dahn backstreets, to the inhabitants of Little Ala Mhigo and the alienated beastmen, Arc hesitates little to risk his status and good standing for those less fortunate than himself. This passion led Arc to co-found the Guiding Stars free company with his brother Alus, an honour he takes very seriously.

: In fact, Arc’s chance opportunity to reunite with Alus was the very inspiration he needed to snap out of the monotonous performance of “life” he had subjected himself to up until that point. Whist he relentlessly teased his brother Alus for his bookwormish habits, when Arc discovered the source of this reading material, he secretly pored over it with an intense interest. Of course, Arc was heavily critical of Alus’ trusting and optimistic personality, and attempted at all times to distance himself from these attributes. However, he has come to find his brother to be a deeply empowering presence in his life. Whilst he won’t always admit it, Arc hates being separated from Alus for too long. In a way, this familial presence has acted as a kind of solvent for Arc’s heavily-concealed fear of romantic attachment. Whilst he’ll flirt his tail off with strangers at a party, he’ll very rarely talk about love and despises any more-than-fleeting conversation about romance.

: In spite of his newfound passion for adventure, Arc will often go on hiatus for long periods, retiring to his home in Limsa Lominsa or even taking up temporary residence at an inn elsewhere. During these periods, Arc tends to focus on blacksmithing, a hobby with which he has become fascinated, and his love of Triple Triad. He is employed as a weapons artisan by the merchant prince Kestle Roet, whom he considers both a patron and a kind of mentor. “Lord” Roet will often indirectly point Arc towards new opportunities, ventures and intriguing information. Kestle is one of the few people Arc feels as though he can have frank political conversations with; although he is wary of his patron’s mysterious networks of knowledge.

: As you might expect from someone so well-versed in rumour and gossip, Arc is profoundly political. Whilst he has previously spoken at length on his views, he prefers to keep them to himself as he is well aware they would be damaging to not only his own standing, but also that of his brother. Arc is increasingly distrustful of the power-grabbing tactics of the Grand Companies in the anarchic vacuum created by the Calamity. Arc knows he is by no means innocent in the militarisation of Eorzean society, being a celebrated soldier of the Maelstrom himself; he acknowledges the deep threat posed by the technocratic religiosity of the Empire, yet he concurrently bemoans the systematic discrimination and isolation of beast tribes perpetuated by the Grand Companies, as well as their increasingly centralised grip on economic, military and political power. As a result, Arc justifies his involvement with the Maelstrom as purely for the fulfilment of his personal moral obligations to defend society from the greater evil of the Empire. Therefore, he holds little regard for laws or orders unless he deems them right by his own standards.

==Religious Beliefs==
: Alus is a believer in the Twelve. Like his brother, Arc is a devout follower of Nald and Thal, the Traders. Several times throughout his life, Arc has spent hours in prayer to Nald’thal, seeking his guidance and balance.

: Arc has sometimes struggled with this faith, especially due to his fascination with the mythology and religions of other cultures. He has sometimes found it hard to reconcile his faith in the Twelve with the passionate devotion he has witnessed members of other faiths portray, and with the devestation of the Calamity and onslaught of the Imperial invasion. On such occasions, he has always resolved to take a pilgrimage to the Church of Saint Adama Landama, his adopted birthplace, where he has re-dedicated himself to the Twelve and to Nald’thal in particular.

: Arc has made many pilgrimages alongside his brother, Alus, whom he considers to be sometimes too fanatical in his worship of Nald’thal at the expanse of the rest of the deities. Still, he appreciates the opportunity to pray at important sites and to learn from the vast knowledge held by Alus about their patron deity.

==Battle Tendency==
: Arc’s foray into adventuring began with the spontaneous theft of a sleeping patron’s axe at the Wench (but don’t talk to Alus about it, please, he will cry). His first experiences in battle were thus painful and scar-inducing, but nevertheless exhilarating and empowering. As his travels expanded, he began visiting the different guilds across Eorzea, interested in learning the history of the weapons he would come to craft as a smithy.

: Travelling to Gridania, he was forced to spend a long time with the Lancers’ and Carpentry Guilds, as he quickly discovered the core of the lance and bow lay more in the woodwork than in the smithing end of the design. It was during this time that he fell in love with the <strike>Guildmaster</strike> lance, and while practising with his own creations, grew to adore its many diverse fighting styles. After rising through the ranks of the Guild, Arc was eventually entrusted as an envoy to aid in an Ishgardian investigation, during which time he became an apprentice to the former Azure Dragoon. Enticed by the possibility of one day travelling to Ishgard and accessing the wealth of history and culture within its walls, Arc dedicated himself to training as a rogue dragoon so that he may one day be granted such a rare opportunity.

: As a smithy, carpenter and leatherworker, Arc has taken it upon himself to train under every possible weapon and fighting style to a certain degree. He has recently taken up archery as a form of sport, and has even grown adept with fighting daggers for some reason.

=Commonly Known History=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#265441; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Commonly Known History'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Arc and Alus were constantly accompanied by their adopted father, the travelling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard. Although, in his teenage years, Arc felt as though Gwenneg suppressed the twins’ true heritage from them, as well as the true nature of Eorzean society, in recent years he has come to reconcile those gripes with the many teachings Gwenneg bestowed upon his children. In particular, Arc’s passion for helping the unfortunate, lack of tolerance for racism or discrimination of any kind and love of good quality craftsmanship are all either directly or indirectly attributable to his upbringing under Gwenneg.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg in the aftermath of the Calamity, Arc and Alus effectively disappeared along with him. It’s not known what happened to the brothers between then and the present time, except that eventually they separated and weren’t reconciled for many years thereafter.
Travelling merchants acquainted with Gwenneg swore they saw Arc with another young Miqo’te voyaging across Thanalan shortly after the brothers separated, but where they were going was unclear.

==Present Time==
Arc has made a name for himself around Limsa Lominsa as a celebrated bartender at the Wench and a part-time weapons artisan for the merchant prince Kestle Roet. Arc and Alus reunited by chance about one year ago, after which time a light seemed to spark within Arc that none had seen since he first arrived in Limsa. The brothers are very often seen adventuring together or undertaking missions for the Maelstrom or under the banner of their own free company, the Guiding Stars.
Arc is a renowned gambler, and will happily take anyone on in a game of Triple Triad or competitive Cactpot at the Golden Saucer.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring life, Alus will rarely ever tie his hair up in fear it will change his 'Prince Charming' image too much. Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer, however.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled, with a decent, healthy-looking amount of fat over them. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: Alus is one to chuckle and smile a lot in normal conversation-- Even when conversations get suddenly overtly serious, he can still be rather nonchalant and breathy for awhile, unwilling to do a 180 and spoil his personal positive atmosphere too quickly. His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, sometimes inquisition, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a small, welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant, but still expressive, just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has never been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as punching at the air or intensely fuming. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he meets with him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger, especially nervous around beautiful women. On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, however underneath it all he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: This can get Alus in a lot of trouble, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life. However, in contrast to his normal personality, this does not stop him from speaking out pessimistically about the potentially dangerous situation as it's happening to his party members, this is perhaps to make them prepare to take things more seriously.
: Alus likes to think of himself as a perfect gentleman, but as of late, he has acted much more casual and informal than usual, occasionally even whining openly about petty things such as the cold. This personality especially comes about while being accompanied by his brother, perhaps it is due to comfort.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halfs. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him, as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: In contrast, the few times he had tried a two-weapon fighting style used famously by thieves and assassins, he seemed to be having more fun in battle than he ever did, dancing wildly and beautifully as if he was on a dance floor more than a monster-infested field. He often feels conflicted about seeking out teachers of this style further, as not only is it often used by cold-blooded killers which he's greatly morally opposed to, his brother is ''very much'' disliking of the thieves' guild for personal reasons.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot.

: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidGood Stupid Good] - Tends to let the law slip a bit in favor of friendliness and happiness. He's not unashamed about it. Perhaps he's even a little spineless, even if he fully ''believes'' in the law.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam Large Ham] - Alus models himself off of old fairytales of heroic knights in shining armor and Prince Charmings, and tends to prattle off heroic guidelines of self-care.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouTalkTooMuch You Talk Too Much] - Alus tends to worry about not conveying his words properly, so he just speaks ''more'' to make his point as clear as possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoshdangItToHeck Goshdang It To Heck!] - Alus finds vulgarity and adult swearing to be some of the worst violations of being a gentleman.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Snakes] - Alus' intense dislike of slugs can sometimes hinder his missions.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WarriorPoet Warrior Poet] - Tends to overthink his morals.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloudCuckoolander Cloudcuckoolander] - Alus' seemingly random topics of speech can come off as baffling to some people. His way of thinking can be unpredictable to others.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGamblingAddict The Gambling Addict] (which is a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompressedVice Compressed Vice]) - Alus tends to get really worked up when a game of chance is presented to him, for instance at a carnival or faire. He tends to view most things in life also as a form of gambling, like goldsmithing, cooking, or even battle.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReluctantWarrior Reluctant Warrior] - 'Technically a pacifist'.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeclarationOfProtection Declaration of Protection] - Although mostly directed towards his brother (the only one he considers truly a close person to him) Alus always tends to put others' safety in battle before his own.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CannotTalkToWomen Cannot Talk To Women] - Alus grew up around mostly men, leaving him rather ignorant of women. He tends to look up to and even idolize women, making him very nervous to be around them.

: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bathos Bathos] - Arc and Alus' story tends to fluctuate between constant comic relief and deep philosophical discussion of life and death. It's a balance like the scales of Nald'Thal.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WideEyedIdealist Wide-Eyed Idealist] - This repeatedly becomes the downfall of Alus once he realizes things aren't that easy.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicNeutral Heroic Neutral] - Alus procrastinates on fighting, avoiding responsibility altogether some days.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConflictingLoyalty Conflicting Loyalty] - Alus' conflict with having to use violence in order to solve problems in war the fastest way possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmiteMeOMightySmiter Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!] - At the falling of his comrades in war, Alus asks Thal if the balance is truly tipped equally in the world.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnfitForGreatness Unfit For Greatness] - Alus set out the beginning of his journey to become a hero, but has realized that to achieve that he must hurt others, something he has a constant struggle with doing. Alus has extreme difficulty backing out of his high standing as a warrior in the military because his skills for killing are highly valued.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken].

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring life, Alus will rarely ever tie his hair up in fear it will change his 'Prince Charming' image too much. Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer, however.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled, with a decent, healthy-looking amount of fat over them. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: Alus is one to chuckle and smile a lot in normal conversation-- Even when conversations get suddenly overtly serious, he can still be rather nonchalant and breathy for awhile, unwilling to do a 180 and spoil his personal positive atmosphere too quickly. His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, sometimes inquisition, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a small, welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant, but still expressive, just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has never been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as punching at the air or intensely fuming. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he meets with him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger, especially nervous around beautiful women. On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, however underneath it all he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: This can get Alus in a lot of trouble, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life. However, in contrast to his normal personality, this does not stop him from speaking out pessimistically about the potentially dangerous situation as it's happening to his party members, this is perhaps to make them prepare to take things more seriously.
: Alus likes to think of himself as a perfect gentleman, but as of late, he has acted much more casual and informal than usual, occasionally even whining openly about petty things such as the cold. This personality especially comes about while being accompanied by his brother, perhaps it is due to comfort.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halfs. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him, as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: In contrast, the few times he had tried a two-weapon fighting style used famously by thieves and assassins, he seemed to be having more fun in battle than he ever did, dancing wildly and beautifully as if he was on a dance floor more than a monster-infested field. He often feels conflicted about seeking out teachers of this style further, as not only is it often used by cold-blooded killers which he's greatly morally opposed to, his brother is ''very much'' disliking of the thieves' guild for personal reasons.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">General</span></center></div> ===
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Alus, Arc and Gwenneg were seen traveling around a lot when the brothers were children. Older characters might have met Gwenneg at one point or another, before or after he adopted the children.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character has a criminal background, you might act nervous around Alus while he is wearing armor, as his appearance while wearing such is very obviously Paladin-like.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> In contrast, if you're an aspiring Paladin or Knight, you could geek out at Alus in his Paladin wear a little bit. He'll love the attention, and will probably strike a pose and tell you not to do drugs.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character is new at something, Alus will most definitely offer to help you learn about it, even if he is entirely unfamiliar with the subject. This is part of his self-sworn duty as a member of the «Guide» free company.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> While Alus is wearing off-duty clothing, bringing up the subject of fashion is almost definitely a conversation starter, unless your interest is just the flower hat. In which case, he'll probably give you one and be on his way.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Bringing up the subjects of floriography or tea. He loves discussing different meaning interpretations on the same flower, and he is currently in training to become an amateur tea master.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Challenging his moral views. He'll probably lecture you a whole lot, but he wants to hear your views too.

<center> '''IC''' </center>
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Alus is indeed single, but he has difficulty discerning the difference between a flirtatious personality and someone who is looking at him seriously. Be straightforward with him if you are actually interested. Love is something Alus takes very seriously and with great loyalty, though you can become the apple of his eye fairly easily if you make it clear to him that he has a chance to begin with.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who enjoy social player events, whether it's going to them or organizing them.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Any newbies who need a little guidance. Alus' free company as a policy of "No questions asked" for joining and leaving his group, so you should feel free to ask for his help or even temporarily, or permanently, join for their services.
<center> '''OOC'''</center>
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who enjoy roleplaying while also doing something else, like adventuring in the field, taking a leisurely walk, gaming at the gold saucer, etc. I find this just generally more conversational and enjoyable for both parties to have something to actively remark upon.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who RP at near-realtime. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a fast typist, but I'd really appreciate if you at least used some sort of short-hand. For example; using default emote descriptions instead of manually written out ones, saying only a few words at a time, not bothering with symbols like quote/on-quote, or even not using absolute proper grammar. I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot. This type of RP might be similar to the "Rapid-Fire" RP style.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who are casual enough that they don't mind merging the game's fourth wall into their RP universe. Telling me to believe something obviously not possible within the game's mechanics is kind of frustrating to me, but making fun of someone's typo as accidentally slurred speech is ''fantastic''.

=TV Tropes=
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Appearance</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFashionista The Fashionista] - One of Alus' major interests and passions is fashion, to the point that it can become self-destructive on his wallet.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LongHairedPrettyBoy Long-Haired Pretty Boy] - Self-explanatory.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WholesomeCrossdresser Wholesome Crossdresser] - Alus tried on a dress one day as a joke, but really liked how cute he looked in it. He becomes easily offended if someone accuses him of being Arc's girlfriend mistakenly.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FlowerMotifs Flower Motifs] - Alus' famed flower hat and flower-themed accessories. Alus also carries around fresh flowers in his bag to give away to strangers.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightIsGood Light Is Good] - Alus feels that pastel or brightly-colored clothing comes off as friendly and cheerful.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobleMaleRoguishMale Noble Male, Roguish Male] - Arc and Alus' contrast in appearance and personality captures this trope to a T.
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Personality</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SiblingYinYang Sibling Yin Yang] - Arc's wild, vulgar and pessimistic personality contrasts highly to Alus' polite, optimistic, and blindly trusting traits.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InTouchWithHisFeminineSide In Touch With His Feminine Side] - Alus' interests of tea making, floriography, poetry, fashion, and pacifism are all traditionally more feminine traits. His appearance can also be called feminine.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveYouAndEverybody Love You And Everybody] - Alus is overjoyed at the concept of platonic love of his friends and comrades, and is actually really picky of who he deems worthy of real romantic attention. This can be confusing to his acquaintances.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllLovingHero All-Loving Hero] - Just read the article.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HiddenDepths Hidden Depths] - On the surface, Alus comes off as bubbly, simple-minded and innocent, perhaps even stupid or slightly crazy to the more pessimistic mind. In truth, he makes a fantastic gritty philosophical discussion; he thinks every aspect of his morality and way of seeing life to the very last detail.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidGood Stupid Good] - Tends to let the law slip a bit in favor of friendliness and happiness. He's not unashamed about it. Perhaps he's even a little spineless, even if he fully ''believes'' in the law.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam Large Ham] - Alus models himself off of old fairytales of heroic knights in shining armor and Prince Charmings, and tends to prattle off heroic guidelines of self-care.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouTalkTooMuch You Talk Too Much] - Alus tends to worry about not conveying his words properly, so he just speaks ''more'' to make his point as clear as possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoshdangItToHeck Goshdang It To Heck!] - Alus finds vulgarity and adult swearing to be some of the worst violations of being a gentleman.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Snakes] - Alus' intense dislike of slugs can sometimes hinder his missions.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WarriorPoet Warrior Poet] - Tends to overthink his morals.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloudCuckoolander Cloudcuckoolander] - Alus' seemingly random topics of speech can come off as baffling to some people. His way of thinking can be unpredictable to others.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGamblingAddict The Gambling Addict] (which is a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompressedVice Compressed Vice]) - Alus tends to get really worked up when a game of chance is presented to him, for instance at a carnival or faire. He tends to view most things in life also as a form of gambling, like goldsmithing, cooking, or even battle.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReluctantWarrior Reluctant Warrior] - 'Technically a pacifist'.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeclarationOfProtection Declaration of Protection] - Although mostly directed towards his brother (the only one he considers truly a close person to him) Alus always tends to put others' safety in battle before his own.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CannotTalkToWomen Cannot Talk To Women] - Alus grew up around mostly men, leaving him rather ignorant of women. He tends to look up to and even idolize women, making him very nervous to be around them.
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Story</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bathos Bathos] - Arc and Alus' story tends to fluctuate between constant comic relief and deep philosophical discussion of life and death. It's a balance like the scales of Nald'Thal.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WideEyedIdealist Wide-Eyed Idealist] - This repeatedly becomes the downfall of Alus once he realizes things aren't that easy.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicNeutral Heroic Neutral] - Alus procrastinates on fighting, avoiding responsibility altogether some days.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConflictingLoyalty Conflicting Loyalty] - Alus' conflict with having to use violence in order to solve problems in war the fastest way possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmiteMeOMightySmiter Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!] - At the falling of his comrades in war, Alus asks Thal if the balance is truly tipped equally in the world.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnfitForGreatness Unfit For Greatness] - Alus set out the beginning of his journey to become a hero, but has realized that to achieve that he must hurt others, something he has a constant struggle with doing. Alus has extreme difficulty backing out of his high standing as a warrior in the military because his skills for killing are highly valued.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken].

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring life, Alus will rarely ever tie his hair up in fear it will change his 'Prince Charming' image too much. Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer, however.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled, with a decent, healthy-looking amount of fat over them. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: Alus is one to chuckle and smile a lot in normal conversation-- Even when conversations get suddenly overtly serious, he can still be rather nonchalant and breathy for awhile, unwilling to do a 180 and spoil his personal positive atmosphere too quickly. His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, sometimes inquisition, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a small, welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant, but still expressive, just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has never been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as punching at the air or intensely fuming. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he meets with him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger, especially nervous around beautiful women. On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, however underneath it all he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: This can get Alus in a lot of trouble, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life. However, in contrast to his normal personality, this does not stop him from speaking out pessimistically about the potentially dangerous situation as it's happening to his party members, this is perhaps to make them prepare to take things more seriously.
: Alus likes to think of himself as a perfect gentleman, but as of late, he has acted much more casual and informal than usual, occasionally even whining openly about petty things such as the cold. This personality especially comes about while being accompanied by his brother, perhaps it is due to comfort.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halfs. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him, as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: In contrast, the few times he had tried a two-weapon fighting style used famously by thieves and assassins, he seemed to be having more fun in battle than he ever did, dancing wildly and beautifully as if he was on a dance floor more than a monster-infested field. He often feels conflicted about seeking out teachers of this style further, as not only is it often used by cold-blooded killers which he's greatly morally opposed to, his brother is ''very much'' disliking of the thieves' guild for personal reasons.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot.

: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeclarationOfProtection Declaration of Protection] - Although mostly directed towards his brother (the only one he considers truly a close person to him) Alus always tends to put others' safety in battle before his own.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CannotTalkToWomen Cannot Talk To Women] - Alus grew up around mostly men, leaving him rather ignorant of women. He tends to look up to and even idolize women, making him very nervous to be around them.

Alus has extreme difficulty backing out of his high standing as a warrior in the military because his skills for killing are highly valued.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken].

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring life, Alus will rarely ever tie his hair up in fear it will change his 'Prince Charming' image too much. Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer, however.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled, with a decent, healthy-looking amount of fat over them. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: Alus is one to chuckle and smile a lot in normal conversation-- Even when conversations get suddenly overtly serious, he can still be rather nonchalant and breathy for awhile, unwilling to do a 180 and spoil his personal positive atmosphere too quickly. His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, sometimes inquisition, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a small, welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant, but still expressive, just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has never been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as punching at the air or intensely fuming. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he meets with him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger, especially nervous around a beautiful woman. On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, however underneath it all he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: This can get Alus in a lot of trouble, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life. However, in contrast to his normal personality, this does not stop him from speaking out pessimistically about the potentially dangerous situation as it's happening to his party members, this is perhaps to make them prepare to take things more seriously.
: Alus likes to think of himself as a perfect gentleman, but as of late, he has acted much more casual and informal than usual, occasionally even whining openly about petty things such as the cold. This personality especially comes about while being accompanied by his brother, perhaps it is due to comfort.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halfs. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him, as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: In contrast, the few times he had tried a two-weapon fighting style used famously by thieves and assassins, he seemed to be having more fun in battle than he ever did, dancing wildly and beautifully as if he was on a dance floor more than a monster-infested field. He often feels conflicted about seeking out teachers of this style further, as not only is it often used by cold-blooded killers which he's greatly morally opposed to, his brother is ''very much'' disliking of the thieves' guild for personal reasons.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">General</span></center></div> ===
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Alus, Arc and Gwenneg were seen traveling around a lot when the brothers were children. Older characters might have met Gwenneg at one point or another, before or after he adopted the children.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character has a criminal background, you might act nervous around Alus while he is wearing armor, as his appearance while wearing such is very obviously Paladin-like.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> In contrast, if you're an aspiring Paladin or Knight, you could geek out at Alus in his Paladin wear a little bit. He'll love the attention, and will probably strike a pose and tell you not to do drugs.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character is new at something, Alus will most definitely offer to help you learn about it, even if he is entirely unfamiliar with the subject. This is part of his self-sworn duty as a member of the «Guide» free company.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> While Alus is wearing off-duty clothing, bringing up the subject of fashion is almost definitely a conversation starter, unless your interest is just the flower hat. In which case, he'll probably give you one and be on his way.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Bringing up the subjects of floriography or tea. He loves discussing different meaning interpretations on the same flower, and he is currently in training to become an amateur tea master.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Challenging his moral views. He'll probably lecture you a whole lot, but he wants to hear your views too.

<center> '''IC''' </center>
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Alus is indeed single, but he has difficulty discerning the difference between a flirtatious personality and someone who is looking at him seriously. Be straightforward with him if you are actually interested. Love is something Alus takes very seriously and with great loyalty, though you can become the apple of his eye fairly easily if you make it clear to him that he has a chance to begin with.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who enjoy social player events, whether it's going to them or organizing them.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Any newbies who need a little guidance. Alus' free company as a policy of "No questions asked" for joining and leaving his group, so you should feel free to ask for his help or even temporarily, or permanently, join for their services.
<center> '''OOC'''</center>
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who enjoy roleplaying while also doing something else, like adventuring in the field, taking a leisurely walk, gaming at the gold saucer, etc. I find this just generally more conversational and enjoyable for both parties to have something to actively remark upon.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who RP at near-realtime. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a fast typist, but I'd really appreciate if you at least used some sort of short-hand. For example; using default emote descriptions instead of manually written out ones, saying only a few words at a time, not bothering with symbols like quote/on-quote, or even not using absolute proper grammar. I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot. This type of RP might be similar to the "Rapid-Fire" RP style.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who are casual enough that they don't mind merging the game's fourth wall into their RP universe. Telling me to believe something obviously not possible within the game's mechanics is kind of frustrating to me, but making fun of someone's typo as accidentally slurred speech is ''fantastic''.

=TV Tropes=
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Appearance</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFashionista The Fashionista] - One of Alus' major interests and passions is fashion, to the point that it can become self-destructive on his wallet.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LongHairedPrettyBoy Long-Haired Pretty Boy] - Self-explanatory.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WholesomeCrossdresser Wholesome Crossdresser] - Alus tried on a dress one day as a joke, but really liked how cute he looked in it. He becomes easily offended if someone accuses him of being Arc's girlfriend mistakenly.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FlowerMotifs Flower Motifs] - Alus' famed flower hat and flower-themed accessories. Alus also carries around fresh flowers in his bag to give away to strangers.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightIsGood Light Is Good] - Alus feels that pastel or brightly-colored clothing comes off as friendly and cheerful.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NobleMaleRoguishMale Noble Male, Roguish Male] - Arc and Alus' contrast in appearance and personality captures this trope to a T.
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Personality</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SiblingYinYang Sibling Yin Yang] - Arc's wild, vulgar and pessimistic personality contrasts highly to Alus' polite, optimistic, and blindly trusting traits.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InTouchWithHisFeminineSide In Touch With His Feminine Side] - Alus' interests of tea making, floriography, poetry, fashion, and pacifism are all traditionally more feminine traits. His appearance can also be called feminine.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveYouAndEverybody Love You And Everybody] - Alus is overjoyed at the concept of platonic love of his friends and comrades, and is actually really picky of who he deems worthy of real romantic attention. This can be confusing to his acquaintances.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllLovingHero All-Loving Hero] - Just read the article.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HiddenDepths Hidden Depths] - On the surface, Alus comes off as bubbly, simple-minded and innocent, perhaps even stupid or slightly crazy to the more pessimistic mind. In truth, he makes a fantastic gritty philosophical discussion; he thinks every aspect of his morality and way of seeing life to the very last detail.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidGood Stupid Good] - Tends to let the law slip a bit in favor of friendliness and happiness. He's not unashamed about it. Perhaps he's even a little spineless, even if he fully ''believes'' in the law.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LargeHam Large Ham] - Alus models himself off of old fairytales of heroic knights in shining armor and Prince Charmings, and tends to prattle off heroic guidelines of self-care.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouTalkTooMuch You Talk Too Much] - Alus tends to worry about not conveying his words properly, so he just speaks ''more'' to make his point as clear as possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GoshdangItToHeck Goshdang It To Heck!] - Alus finds vulgarity and adult swearing to be some of the worst violations of being a gentleman.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why Did It Have To Be Snakes] - Alus' intense dislike of slugs can sometimes hinder his missions.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WarriorPoet Warrior Poet] - Tends to overthink his morals.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CloudCuckoolander Cloudcuckoolander] - Alus' seemingly random topics of speech can come off as baffling to some people. His way of thinking can be unpredictable to others.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheGamblingAddict The Gambling Addict] (which is a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompressedVice Compressed Vice]) - Alus tends to get really worked up when a game of chance is presented to him, for instance at a carnival or faire. He tends to view most things in life also as a form of gambling, like goldsmithing, cooking, or even battle.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReluctantWarrior Reluctant Warrior] - 'Technically a pacifist'.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeclarationOfProtection Declaration of Protection] - Although mostly directed towards his brother (the only one he considers truly a close person to him) Alus always tends to put others' safety in battle before his own.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CannotTalkToWomen Cannot Talk To Women] - Alus grew up around mostly men, leaving him rather ignorant of women. He tends to look up to and even idolize women, making him very nervous to be around them.
===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">Story</span></center></div> ===
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Bathos Bathos] - Arc and Alus' story tends to fluctuate between constant comic relief and deep philosophical discussion of life and death. It's a balance like the scales of Nald'Thal.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WideEyedIdealist Wide-Eyed Idealist] - This repeatedly becomes the downfall of Alus once he realizes things aren't that easy.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicNeutral Heroic Neutral] - Alus procrastinates on fighting, avoiding responsibility altogether some days.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConflictingLoyalty Conflicting Loyalty] - Alus' conflict with having to use violence in order to solve problems in war the fastest way possible.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmiteMeOMightySmiter Smite Me, O Mighty Smiter!] - At the falling of his comrades in war, Alus asks Thal if the balance is truly tipped equally in the world.
: [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnfitForGreatness Unfit For Greatness] - Alus set out the beginning of his journey to become a hero, but has realized that to achieve that he must hurt others, something he has a constant struggle with doing. Alus has extreme difficulty backing out of his high standing as a warrior in the military because his skills for killing are highly valued.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken].

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

'''Template:'''
<br>
<br> I used a combination of templates provided on the main page.
<br> Most of this combination was by [[Xavarian Mystrife]],
<br> who used some of [[Bancroft Gairn]]'s code with the tables
<br> and [[Unnamed Mercenary]]'s code for the tabs (which seemed to have broke, whoops!)
<br> Slightly modified by [[Qaratolui Noyakir]],
<br> And further heavily modified by myself, DodoKing!

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring life, Alus will rarely ever tie his hair up in fear it will change his 'Prince Charming' image too much. Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer, however.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled, with a decent, healthy-looking amount of fat over them. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: Alus is one to chuckle and smile a lot in normal conversation-- Even when conversations get suddenly overtly serious, he can still be rather nonchalant and breathy for awhile, unwilling to do a 180 and spoil his personal positive atmosphere too quickly. His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, sometimes inquisition, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a small, welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant, but still expressive, just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has never been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as punching at the air or intensely fuming. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he sees him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger. On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, however underneath it all he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: This can get Alus in a lot of trouble, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life. However, in contrast to his normal personality, this does not stop him from speaking out pessimistically about the potentially dangerous situation as it's happening to his party members, this is perhaps to make them prepare to take things more seriously.
: Alus likes to think of himself as a perfect gentleman, but as of late, he has acted much more casual and informal than usual, occasionally even whining openly about petty things such as the cold. This personality especially comes about while being accompanied by his brother, perhaps it is due to comfort.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halfs. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him, as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: In contrast, the few times he had tried a two-weapon fighting style used famously by thieves and assassins, he seemed to be having more fun in battle than he ever did, dancing wildly and beautifully as if he was on a dance floor more than a monster-infested field. He often feels conflicted about seeking out teachers of this style further, as not only is it often used by cold-blooded killers which he's greatly morally opposed to, his brother is ''very much'' disliking of the thieves' guild for personal reasons.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken].

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring life, Alus will rarely ever tie his hair up in fear it will change his 'Prince Charming' image too much. Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer, however.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled, with a decent, healthy-looking amount of fat over them. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: Alus is one to chuckle and smile a lot in normal conversation-- Even when conversations get suddenly overtly serious, he can still be rather nonchalant and breathy for awhile, unwilling to do a 180 and spoil his personal positive atmosphere too quickly. His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, sometimes inquisition, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a small, welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant, but still expressive, just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has never been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as punching at the air or intensely fuming. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he sees him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger. On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, however underneath it all he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: Alus is not completely blindly optimistic, however. He has the ability to detect a trap or a lie from an acquaintance as easily as anybody else, but simply chooses to let the liar act out their plans fully before stopping it, making sure he never punishes a suspicious person who is actually truthful. This can get Alus in a lot of trouble, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life. However, in contrast to his normal personality, this does not stop him from speaking out pessimistically about the potentially dangerous situation as it's happening to his party members, this is perhaps to make them prepare to take things more seriously.
: Alus likes to think of himself as a perfect gentleman, but as of late, he has acted much more casual and informal than usual, occasionally even whining openly about petty things such as the cold. This personality especially comes about while being accompanied by his brother, perhaps it is due to comfort.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halfs. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him, as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: In contrast, the few times he had tried a two-weapon fighting style used famously by thieves and assassins, he seemed to be having more fun in battle than he ever did, dancing wildly and beautifully as if he was on a dance floor more than a monster-infested field. He often feels conflicted about seeking out teachers of this style further, as not only is it often used by cold-blooded killers which he's greatly morally opposed to, his brother is ''very much'' disliking of the thieves' guild for personal reasons.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Alus, Arc and Gwenneg were seen traveling around a lot when the brothers were children. Older characters might have met Gwenneg at one point or another, before or after he adopted the children.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character has a criminal background, you might act nervous around Alus while he is wearing armor, as his appearance while wearing such is very obviously Paladin-like.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> In contrast, if you're an aspiring Paladin or Knight, you could geek out at Alus in his Paladin wear a little bit. He'll love the attention, and will probably strike a pose and tell you not to do drugs.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character is new at something, Alus will most definitely offer to help you learn about it, even if he is entirely unfamiliar with the subject. This is part of his self-sworn duty as a member of the «Guide» free company.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> While Alus is wearing off-duty clothing, bringing up the subject of fashion is almost definitely a conversation starter, unless your interest is just the flower hat. In which case, he'll probably give you one and be on his way.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Bringing up the subjects of floriography or tea. He loves discussing different meaning interpretations on the same flower, and he is currently in training to become an amateur tea master.

Be straightforward with him if you are actually interested. Love is something Alus takes very seriously and with great loyalty, though you can become the apple of his eye fairly easily if you make it clear to him that he has a chance to begin with.

: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who enjoy roleplaying while also doing something else, like adventuring in the field, taking a leisurely walk, gaming at the gold saucer, etc. I find this just generally more conversational and enjoyable for both parties to have something to actively remark upon.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who RP at near-realtime. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a fast typist, but I'd really appreciate if you at least used some sort of short-hand. For example; using default emote descriptions instead of manually written out ones, saying only a few words at a time, not bothering with symbols like quote/on-quote, or even not using absolute proper grammar. I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot. This type of RP might be similar to the "Rapid-Fire" RP style.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who are casual enough that they don't mind merging the game's fourth wall into their RP universe. Telling me to believe something obviously not possible within the game's mechanics is kind of frustrating to me, but making fun of someone's typo as accidentally slurred speech is ''fantastic''.

Alus has extreme difficulty backing out of his high standing as a warrior in the military because his skills for killing are highly valued.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken].

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring life, Alus will rarely ever tie his hair up in fear it will change his 'Prince Charming' image too much. Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer, however.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled, with a decent, healthy-looking amount of fat over them. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: Alus is one to chuckle and smile a lot in normal conversation-- Even when conversations get suddenly overtly serious, he can still be rather nonchalant and breathy for awhile, unwilling to do a 180 and spoil his personal positive atmosphere too quickly. His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, sometimes inquisition, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a small, welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant, but still expressive, just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has never been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as punching at the air or intensely fuming. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he sees him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger. On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, however underneath it all he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: Alus is not completely blindly optimistic, however. He has the ability to detect a trap or a lie from an acquaintance as easily as anybody else, but simply chooses to let the liar act out their plans fully before stopping it, making sure he never punishes a suspicious person who is actually truthful. This can get Alus in a lot of trouble, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life. However, in contrast to his normal personality, this does not stop him from speaking out pessimistically about the potentially dangerous situation as it's happening to his party members, this is perhaps to make them prepare to take things more seriously.
: Alus likes to think of himself as a perfect gentleman, but as of late, he has acted much more casual and informal than usual, occasionally even whining openly about petty things such as the cold. This personality especially comes about while being accompanied by his brother, perhaps it is due to comfort.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halfs. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him, as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: In contrast, the few times he had tried a two-weapon fighting style used famously by thieves and assassins, he seemed to be having more fun in battle than he ever did, dancing wildly and beautifully as if he was on a dance floor more than a monster-infested field. He often feels conflicted about seeking out teachers of this style further, as not only is it often used by cold-blooded killers which he's greatly morally opposed to, his brother is ''very much'' disliking of the thieves' guild for personal reasons.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Alus, Arc and Gwenneg were seen traveling around a lot when the brothers were children. Older characters might have met Gwenneg at one point or another, before or after he adopted the children.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character has a criminal background, you might act nervous around Alus while he is wearing armor, as his appearance while wearing such is very obviously Paladin-like.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> In contrast, if you're an aspiring Paladin or Knight, you could geek out at Alus in his Paladin wear a little bit. He'll love the attention, and will probably strike a pose and tell you not to do drugs.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character is new at something, Alus will most definitely offer to help you learn about it, even if he is entirely unfamiliar with the subject. This is part of his self-sworn duty as a member of the «Guide» free company.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> While Alus is wearing off-duty clothing, bringing up the subject of fashion is almost definitely a conversation starter, unless your interest is just the flower hat. In which case, he'll probably give you one and be on his way.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Bringing up the subjects of floriography or tea. He loves discussing different meaning interpretations on the same flower, and he is currently in training to become an amateur tea master.

Be straightforward with him if you are actually interested. Love is something Alus takes very seriously and with great loyalty, though you can become the apple of his eye fairly easily if you make it clear to him that he has a chance to begin with.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who enjoy social player events, whether it's going to them or organizing them.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Any newbies who need a little guidance. Alus' free company as a policy of "No questions asked" for joining and leaving his group, so you should feel free to ask for his help or even temporarily, or permanently, join for their services.

: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who enjoy roleplaying while also doing something else, like adventuring in the field, taking a leisurely walk, gaming at the gold saucer, etc. I find this just generally more conversational and enjoyable for both parties to have something to actively remark upon.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who RP at near-realtime. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a fast typist, but I'd really appreciate if you at least used some sort of short-hand. For example; using default emote descriptions instead of manually written out ones, saying only a few words at a time, not bothering with symbols like quote/on-quote, or even not using absolute proper grammar. I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot. This type of RP might be similar to the "Rapid-Fire" RP style.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who are casual enough that they don't mind merging the game's fourth wall into their RP universe. Telling me to believe something obviously not possible within the game's mechanics is kind of frustrating to me, but making fun of someone's typo as accidentally slurred speech is ''fantastic''.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007.

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring life, Alus will rarely ever tie his hair up in fear it will change his 'Prince Charming' image too much. Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer, however.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled, with a decent, healthy-looking amount of fat over them. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: Alus is one to chuckle and smile a lot in normal conversation-- Even when conversations get suddenly overtly serious, he can still be rather nonchalant and breathy for awhile, unwilling to do a 180 and spoil his personal positive atmosphere too quickly. His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, sometimes inquisition, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a small, welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant, but still expressive, just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has never been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as punching at the air or intensely fuming. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he sees him.

=Personality=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Personality'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger. On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, however underneath it all he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: Alus is not completely blindly optimistic, however. He has the ability to detect a trap or a lie from an acquaintance as easily as anybody else, but simply chooses to let the liar act out their plans fully before stopping it, making sure he never punishes a suspicious person who is actually truthful. This can get Alus in a lot of trouble, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life. However, in contrast to his normal personality, this does not stop him from speaking out pessimistically about the potentially dangerous situation as it's happening to his party members, this is perhaps to make them prepare to take things more seriously.
: Alus likes to think of himself as a perfect gentleman, but as of late, he has acted much more casual and informal than usual, occasionally even whining openly about petty things such as the cold. This personality especially comes about while being accompanied by his brother, perhaps it is due to comfort.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halfs. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him, as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: In contrast, the few times he had tried a two-weapon fighting style used famously by thieves and assassins, he seemed to be having more fun in battle than he ever did, dancing wildly and beautifully as if he was on a dance floor more than a monster-infested field. He often feels conflicted about seeking out teachers of this style further, as not only is it often used by cold-blooded killers which he's greatly morally opposed to, his brother is ''very much'' disliking of the thieves' guild for personal reasons.

<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Alus, Arc and Gwenneg were seen traveling around a lot when the brothers were children. Older characters might have met Gwenneg at one point or another, before or after he adopted the children.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character has a criminal background, you might act nervous around Alus while he is wearing armor, as his appearance while wearing such is very obviously Paladin-like.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> In contrast, if you're an aspiring Paladin or Knight, you could geek out at Alus in his Paladin wear a little bit. He'll love the attention, and will probably strike a pose and tell you not to do drugs.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character is new at something, Alus will most definitely offer to help you learn about it, even if he is entirely unfamiliar with the subject. This is part of his self-sworn duty as a member of the «Guide» free company.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> While Alus is wearing off-duty clothing, bringing up the subject of fashion is almost definitely a conversation starter, unless your interest is just the flower hat. In which case, he'll probably give you one and be on his way.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Bringing up the subjects of floriography or tea. He loves discussing different meaning interpretations on the same flower, and he is currently in training to become an amateur tea master.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Challenging his moral views. He'll probably lecture you a whole lot, but he wants to hear your views too.

: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Alus is indeed single, but he has difficulty discerning the difference between a flirtatious personality and someone who is looking at him seriously. Be straightforward with him if you are actually interested. Love is something Alus takes very seriously and with great loyalty, though you can become the apple of his eye fairly easily if you make it clear to him that he has a chance to begin with.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who enjoy social player events, whether it's going to them or organizing them.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Any newbies who need a little guidance. Alus' free company as a policy of "No questions asked" for joining and leaving his group, so you should feel free to ask for his help or even temporarily, or permanently, join for their services.
<center> '''OOC'''</center>
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who enjoy roleplaying while also doing something else, like adventuring in the field, taking a leisurely walk, gaming at the gold saucer, etc. I find this just generally more conversational and enjoyable for both parties to have something to actively remark upon.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who RP at near-realtime. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a fast typist, but I'd really appreciate if you at least used some sort of short-hand. For example; using default emote descriptions instead of manually written out ones, saying only a few words at a time, not bothering with symbols like quote/on-quote, or even not using absolute proper grammar. I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot. This type of RP might be similar to the "Rapid-Fire" RP style.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who are casual enough that they don't mind merging the game's fourth wall into their RP universe. Telling me to believe something obviously not possible within the game's mechanics is kind of frustrating to me, but making fun of someone's typo as accidentally slurred speech is ''fantastic''.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met. Alus' PC comments, "I've known him for 8 years. He was there for me when my real family often wasn't. As far as I care, he's my real brother."
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken], which also somewhat served as an inspiration for Alus' desire to be a prince despite not having the birthright.

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys singing, but sounds terrible according to his brother.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.

<br> Most of this combination was by [[Xavarian Mystrife]],

'''Alus''' ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English IPA]:''æluːs'') '''Beauregard''' is a locally renowned Ul'dahn [[goldsmith]], free [[Paladin]], and wandering healer. He is the twin brother to [[Arc Beauregard]] and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood [[Elezen]] merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received some well renown in the extended military program.

=Physical Description=
== <center><div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FF6EAF; font-size:16px; color:#fff">'''Appearance'''</div></center> ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
==Clothing==
: Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert [[Thanalan]]. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a [http://xivdb.com/?item/7534/Coronal-Straw-Hat Coronal Straw Hat] to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd.
: During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with.
==Physical==
: With an excellent posture <strike>(and subtle aid of heels)</strike>, Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum complete heterochromia] of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup.
: Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring life, Alus will rarely ever tie his hair up in fear it will change his 'Prince Charming' image too much. Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer, however.
: Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and scars.
: Alus' legs are long and elegant, but his upper-thighs, stomach, chest, and shoulders are all very buff and well barreled, with a decent, healthy-looking amount of fat over them. His body is specifically built to endure blows to his stomach and chest area, and withstand carrying heavy armor.
==Voice==
: Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.
(VA Headcanon: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hideyuki_Tanaka Hideyuki Tanaka].)
==Expression==
: Alus is one to chuckle and smile a lot in normal conversation-- Even when conversations get suddenly overtly serious, he can still be rather nonchalant and breathy for awhile, unwilling to do a 180 and spoil his personal positive atmosphere too quickly. His genuine smiles are always exaggerated, big and goofy, and always open, showing off his beautiful healthy white teeth; he is not one for subtlety when it comes to showing enthusiasm. The rare times a closed smile might appear on his face is perhaps in a silent polite panic, or even in intense anger; Alus somehow manages to never show a traditionally 'angry'-looking face to others, only one that resembles a forced or fake smile with an intense and vaguely threatening aura, in which times he tends to say strange things that are so vaguely passive-aggressive that it's difficult to tell if they were mean-spirited in nature to begin with. Besides these, Alus commonly shows expressions of irritation and suspicion rather regularly, sometimes inquisition, all serious looks that feel a bit stone-cold. When Alus is alone, he is shown to often have a look of sadness, melancholy and sometimes irritation the most. As soon as he notices someone is looking at him, however, he will light right up with a small, welcoming and polite smile.
: His body language is well-reserved, polite, and elegant, but still expressive, just not as loud or exaggerated as others may express themselves. He tends to be careful that he never invades someone elses' personal space in his glee or distraught, and if he does, he feels deeply regretful shortly afterwards. Most of his motions are slow and careful, smooth; like a ballet dancer or a ghostly butler. Yet he seems to entirely loose sight of his close proximity when wrapped up in his enthusiasm for finishing a battle or completing a difficult task, often bumping and/or crashing into other people, objects, or even walls and low ceilings in his absolute jumping joys. These situations arrive very often.
: He has never been seen acting out in physical motions of anger, such as punching at the air or intensely fuming. He has, however, been well-known for participating in limp slapping fights with his brother nearly every time he sees him.

: Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being introverted and distant. He can show a very casual and goofy personality to acquaintances, cracking jokes or any other mannerisms that will make a person open up and smile, but he seems to have difficulty starting or keeping up a conversation with a stranger. On the surface, he is simple-minded and queer, content with speaking flowery poetry none other than that of the wind, however underneath it all he has a very serious personality when it comes to emotions and self-betterment, which usually comes as an unexpected surprise to new friends.
: He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. He appears to be the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies. Arc seems less inclined to fight beastmen as well, now, making things even more difficult.
: Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will aim to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.
: He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world ''(excluding only slugs)'', and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way. This has probably fueled his obsession with fashion, music, art, and floriography; beauty equals love, and love equals happiness; which is Alus' personal philosophy.
: Alus is not completely blindly optimistic, however. He has the ability to detect a trap or a lie from an acquaintance as easily as anybody else, but simply chooses to let the liar act out their plans fully before stopping it, making sure he never punishes a suspicious person who is actually truthful. This can get Alus in a lot of trouble, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life. However, in contrast to his normal personality, this does not stop him from speaking out pessimistically about the potentially dangerous situation as it's happening to his party members, this is perhaps to make them prepare to take things more seriously.
: Alus likes to think of himself as a perfect gentleman, but as of late, he has acted much more casual and informal than usual, occasionally even whining openly about petty things such as the cold. This personality especially comes about while being accompanied by his brother, perhaps it is due to comfort.
: Although he has gotten better as of late, he has a tendency to ramble on or talk a lot if he is not stopped. From subjects of comedic nonsense to deep philosophical discussion, Alus could talk for hours-- Even if he's not talking to anyone at all.

==Religious Beliefs==
<big>"''Well, what say you, Nald? Should I come by to check up on you once in awhile?''"</big> -''Alus, upon visiting Nald's Reflection''
: Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other eleven deities of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halfs. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun.
: However, Alus' behavior towards his deity could occasionally be seen as blasphemous. He seems to regard them as not much more than common equals to normal humans, though omnicorporeal and highly powerful. This might anger or irritate Nald'thal, though Alus' belief in his mutual "friendship" with the deity hardly ever wavers. He will lecture even the great Nald'thal when he believes the world has been imbalanced, and for the most part, he believes he is at least heard. He has both desecrated in anger and lovingly and carefully cleaned and kempt places of worship for Nald and Thal, fully devoting himself to the somehow realistic friendship of these invisible all-powerful beings. Regardless of his lack of god-fearing, Alus devotes his loyalty completely and utterly to Nald'thal, looking to the teaching of their churches for nearly all of his answers, even for small day-to-day things like love advice.

==Battle Tendency==
: Although Alus is first and foremost a Paladin, his preferred class is actually Conjury. During important field missions he will more often than not leave a trail of sleeping monsters to finish his mission with the least amount of bloodshed possible. This often comes back to bite him, as the monsters are more often than not still angry at him after they've woken up, making risks of being ambushed by a huge crowd of monsters at once very commonplace for Alus. This can sometimes be too overwhelming for him and he will abandon the mission entirely just to take a break; but only during solo play. When he is with a party, he will do everything in his power to protect everyone until the very end, even voluntarily provoking monsters with nothing more to protect him than cloth when he knows it'll help his party stay alive a little longer. Still, he will continue doing things the hard way for his own stubborn moral values, though is a little more lenient on these things when a party is supporting him. While not doing missions, Alus very much enjoys simply following strange adventurers around and helping heal them on their missions. He lives for the rush of healing 20+ adventurers during a field boss battle.
: As a Paladin, Alus is masterful with his brother by his side. The amount of monsters attacking him at once while he is still able to look out for his companions' health ''and'' heal them is sometimes ludicrous. Alus' ears tend to close during these times, however, and his personality becomes serious and stressed out, every battle becomes a matter of complete and absolute importance to him-- He uses his full power and full arrange of accumulated techniques in nearly every battle, regardless of how seemingly easy it seems, making him very emotionally tired out by the end of it.
: In contrast, the few times he had tried a two-weapon fighting style used famously by thieves and assassins, he seemed to be having more fun in battle than he ever did, dancing wildly and beautifully as if he was on a dance floor more than a monster-infested field. He often feels conflicted about seeking out teachers of this style further, as not only is it often used by cold-blooded killers which he's greatly morally opposed to, his brother is ''very much'' disliking of the thieves' guild for personal reasons.

==Childhood==
Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the traveling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named them as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

==Teenage Years==
After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers separated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

===<div style="padding:6px 50px; background: #800080; font-size:14px; color:#E3E3ED"><center><span class="mw-headline">General</span></center></div> ===
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Alus, Arc and Gwenneg were seen traveling around a lot when the brothers were children. Older characters might have met Gwenneg at one point or another, before or after he adopted the children.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character has a criminal background, you might act nervous around Alus while he is wearing armor, as his appearance while wearing such is very obviously Paladin-like.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> In contrast, if you're an aspiring Paladin or Knight, you could geek out at Alus in his Paladin wear a little bit. He'll love the attention, and will probably strike a pose and tell you not to do drugs.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> If your character is new at something, Alus will most definitely offer to help you learn about it, even if he is entirely unfamiliar with the subject. This is part of his self-sworn duty as a member of the «Guide» free company.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> While Alus is wearing off-duty clothing, bringing up the subject of fashion is almost definitely a conversation starter, unless your interest is just the flower hat. In which case, he'll probably give you one and be on his way.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Bringing up the subjects of floriography or tea. He loves discussing different meaning interpretations on the same flower, and he is currently in training to become an amateur tea master.
: <font style="color:#800080;" size="3">■</font> Challenging his moral views. He'll probably lecture you a whole lot, but he wants to hear your views too.

: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Alus is indeed single, but he has difficulty discerning the difference between a flirtatious personality and someone who is looking at him seriously. Be straightforward with him if you are actually interested. Love is something Alus takes very seriously and with great loyalty, though you can become the apple of his eye fairly easily if you make it clear to him that he has a chance to begin with.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who enjoy social player events, whether it's going to them or organizing them.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Any newbies who need a little guidance. Alus' free company as a policy of "No questions asked" for joining and leaving his group, so you should feel free to ask for his help or even temporarily, or permanently, join for their services.
<center> '''OOC'''</center>
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who enjoy roleplaying while also doing something else, like adventuring in the field, taking a leisurely walk, gaming at the gold saucer, etc. I find this just generally more conversational and enjoyable for both parties to have something to actively remark upon.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> Folks who RP at near-realtime. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to be a fast typist, but I'd really appreciate if you at least used some sort of short-hand. For example; using default emote descriptions instead of manually written out ones, saying only a few words at a time, not bothering with symbols like quote/on-quote, or even not using absolute proper grammar. I feel like this style of RP is a lot more realistic, even if it's a lot less formal. That's not to say I'm against para-RP, it's just that it's slow pacing just tends to knock me off guard a lot. This type of RP might be similar to the "Rapid-Fire" RP style.
: <font style="color:#C71585;" size="3">■</font> People who are casual enough that they don't mind merging the game's fourth wall into their RP universe. Telling me to believe something obviously not possible within the game's mechanics is kind of frustrating to me, but making fun of someone's typo as accidentally slurred speech is ''fantastic''.

<br>
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus and Arc's names come from the [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_III Final Fantasy III] remake. [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Alus_Restor Alus Restor], prince of [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Saronia Saronia], and [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Arc Arc], one of the four Light Warriors, were considered to be close friends in the game.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The players behind Alus and Arc are not blood related 'in real life', in fact they've never physically met. Alus' PC comments, "I've known him for 8 years. He was there for me when my real family often wasn't. As far as I care, he's my real brother."
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Although the characters of Alus and Arc Beauregard were created recently in 2.0, the players behind the characters have been playing Final Fantasy XIV on and off since 2010. Before that, they had been playing [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XI Final Fantasy XI] on and off since roughly 2004, of which they first met in back in 2007. They were notoriously casual players, however, and never got far in the actual story quests of either games.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The initial inspiration for Alus' personality was based off of Judge Harold T. Stone from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Court Night Court].
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus often references [http://dothack.wikia.com/wiki/Piros_the_3rd Piros the 3rd] from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack//G.U. .hack//G.U.] games, including the phrase ''"May the stars shine upon you until the end of your journey!"''
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> The names of Alus' two mounts, Erminia and Marion, are a reference to the 1986 manga [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sword_of_Paros Paros no Ken], which also somewhat served as an inspiration for Alus' desire to be a prince despite not having the birthright.

: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus can't remember native Miqo'te names.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys singing, but sounds terrible according to his brother.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus enjoys crossdressing 'for the fun of it', but does not openly publicly admit it to avoid ridicule.
: <font style="color:#F000001;" size="3">■</font> Alus is supposedly a faster runner than Arc, but looses in a race regardless due to Arc's ridiculously skilled jumping ability.
