==Character==
===General===

'''Given name: ''Yvelont Navarre [Ee-vuh-lahnt Nuh-VAR]:''''' Yvelont was named for a heroic ancestor of his father's line, Ser Yvelont the Bear.

'''Aliases/Nicknames:''' The most common is "Yves," which is often used by friends and family members at home in Ishgard. Less common is "Yvel," used only in jest by an extremely small number of very close friends for its phonetic similarity to "Evil" - usually after beating them in some sport or game of chance.

'''Current residence:''' Varies.

'''Sexuality:''' Heterosexual

'''Religion:''' Halone, the Fury - He still holds to the tenets of his patron, but increasingly found himself questioning his beliefs as his faith in Ishgard's archbishop waned.

===Appearance===

'''Height:''' 6 fulms, 9 ilms - slightly above average for an Elezen male.

'''Weight:''' 220 ponz - possesses a larger frame than most Elezen. His overall musculature remains more along the lines of "lean and athletic" than of the bulky muscles common to Highlanders or Roegadyn. Despite his stature, he is deceptively light on his feet.

'''Other:''' A mane of dark brown hair frames a chiseled face with silvery-blue eyes. His head is usually covered by a bandana when ranging with the Twin Adders or otherwise at work. He carries himself with an easy confidence that's evident in his posture.

===Behavior===

'''Voice:''' Speaking in a rich baritone, his words are deliberately enunciated with a Northern accent.

'''Demeanor:''' Generally easygoing and friendly, but is often polite to a fault - particularly when nervous or speaking with someone he holds in high esteem, though this would likely not be obvious to someone who doesn't know him well.

'''Intelligence:''' Afforded an extensive education in Ishgard, he is well-spoken and possesses an impressive knowledge of woodslore and biology in particular. As an outsider, though, he can sometimes be a bit clueless about other city-states' customs and/or societal norms.

==Combat==
===General===

'''Style:''' Tends to use his reach to great advantage to wear his opponent down. However, he is a fairly well-rounded fighter and when forced to close distance, will incorporate his entire body into his arsenal, especially if wearing a suit of heavy plate.

'''Specialization:''' Favors two-handed weapons and polearms. He is also a capable brawler when forced into a bout of fisticuffs. Yvelont has neither the talent nor the inclination to use magick.

'''Strengths:''' Battles of attrition, all-out slugfests, and mid-range combat. When not encumbered by full plate the large elezen's footwork can be surprisingly quick, all but leaping across the battlefield to the attack.

'''Weaknesses:''' Ranged combatants such as thaumaturges or archers force him to attempt to close distance. A slippery, cunning opponent at extremely close range can exploit his slower movements for a deadly counterattack.

'''Armor:''' Mail or plate armor is always Yvelont's preference, only very rarely suiting up in hunting leathers when ranging.

'''Father: Arturioux Navarre - (Deceased)''' A lesser noble of Ishgard, anointed Knight of the realm, and a hard but fair man in matters of war and fatherhood. Arturioux took it upon himself to mold his two sons into Knights worthy of carrying the banners of House Fortemps. Perished in battle against the Dragons in the Coerthas Central Highlands.

'''Mother: Arillaine (Navarre) Devrieux -''' Although a loving mother in her sons' youth, her marriage to Arturioux was one of convenience. She remarried a mere moon after her required mourning period - something for which Yvelont never really forgave her.

'''Brother: Percevains Navarre - (Whereabouts Unknown)''' Yvelont's elder brother, who entered the Knighthood early and left under mysterious circumstance, branded a deserter.

===Friends and Acquaintances===

[[Kiht Jakkya]] - Yvelont's apprentice in the way of the spear, who has since grown in her own right as a lancer and taken on students of her own. Yvelont is immensely proud of his protege, considering her the younger sister he never had. The two have been through the hells and back, and Kiht is very likely Yvelont's closest friend.

[[R'shia Raha]] - A Seeker of the Sun Yvelont met in passing in Horizon, who then accompanied him back to Ul'dah whilst encouraging him to "just 'ave fun f'once in ya life." To his surprise, he's learned much about Miqo'te from her in the short time they've known each other, and is amused at her eagerness to teach him more.

[[Crisiet Liautroix]] - A fellow Ishgardian and lancer whose mannerisms remind Yvelont of his brother in many ways. A stout comrade in arms, Yvelont respects and feels a kinship towards him.

[[Ciel Wulfe]] - A Wildwood from Gridania with whom Yvelont fought at Carteneau. Hers is a comforting presence, even as she serves to remind him of the turbulent period five years ago.

[[Ruruwalu Vovowalu]] - A male Lalafell Yvelont met while in Ul'dah. While he wishes Ruru would conduct himself with more seriousness, he does sometimes find his antics amusing.

[[Bexy Amalaryssia]] - A particularly well-spoken Seeker of the Sun whom Yvelont has met only recently. She greatly intrigues him, apparently having had experiences similar to his own. It occurs to him that she is the only Miqo'te to whom he has felt compelled to address as "Lady," such is her bearing.

[[Mylene Wharf]] - A Midlander girl who tripped over Yvelont's longsword. The chance meeting has budded into an unlikely friendship with the much younger Hyur. Sensing her unworldliness, Yvelont is concerned for her well-being.

[[Tirisse Sunsinger]] - Met in passing in Ul'dah, Tirisse nevertheless left a positive impression with Yvelont. He admires her noble bearing as well as her care for Mylene. He would greatly welcome the opportunity to speak to her at length.

[[Erisande Marchand]] - Yvelont met Erisande at the Gridanian marketplace after breaking his axe during training with the Yellow Serpents. The two quickly fell in love, but recent events have necessitated a parting of ways.

[[Aelurian Anduin]] - A traveler from Limsa Lominsa, the two drinking buddies soon became training partners and fast friends.

===Enemies===

Considered a deserter since departing Coerthas' borders without leave, Yvelont has been branded a heretic by the Holy See of Ishgard due to his association with Percevains.

Sonata Arctica - "My Land" [http://youtu.be/W8Gqd0XPKsI]

Xanthochroid - "Land of Snow and Sorrow" (Original: Wintersun) [http://youtu.be/khw5Y3A9gSg]
==History/Timeline==

Yvelont was born into the Navarre family, a lesser house of Ishgard's nobility and vassal to House Fortemps. Despite its modest status, the house's lineage was a proud one, having produced a number of well-known knights over the centuries. Thus was Yvelont's destiny decided from birth. Besides his academic studies, Yvelont was given extensive training in swordsmanship, military strategy, and chocobo-handling alongside his elder brother, Percevains.

Although he threw himself into his physical training, he gained an ever-increasing love for the natural world. His aptitude for identifying and studying the flora of the land is what ultimately led him to a study of medicine. As part of his education, he soon served in the field as a doctor's assistant, and under different circumstances his path might have led to that of a chirurgeon. But the tragedy of Arturioux's death led him to fulfill his father's wishes and complete his training to become a full-fledged knight. Ishgard needed soldiers, and Yvelont had proven himself more than capable as a warrior. One full year later, he swore fealty to House, Nation, and the Archbishop before the altar of Halone alongside his brother and more who had proven themselves worthy. Soon, the young man found himself thrust into his nation's war against the dragons.

Time passed, and Yvelont participated in many battles against the dragonkind forces. The Ishgardian casualties were many. Traditional medicine was highly valued in Ishgard, where conjury was an outright rarity, and he found his time divided between the front lines and assisting with healing the wounded. Having seen the horrors of war from both of these perspectives, he soon began to question the point of it at all. Before he could ever give voice to his doubts, his brother went missing.

Percevains left without explanation, written or otherwise. There were witnesses who reported seeing him ride hard out of Whitebrim, heading south under the cover of darkness. Not long after, a draconian rosary was found in his quarters. He sought explanation from his superiors - even Lord Fortemps himself - but ultimately found only more questions.

At once, Yvelont's mind was made up. Before a fortnight had passed, he gathered what few belongings he could carry with him and followed after. It would mean being branded a deserter and a heretic, he knew, but he required answers. Yvelont could not imagine his brother consciously betraying his people; such a thing was unthinkable. And so he rode, going by a scant few eyewitness accounts.

His trail led him to Gridania, where it went cold. Settling in with the rising surge of adventurers answering the call of the Order of the Twin Adders Grand Company, Yvelont soon decided to use the forest-shrouded city as a base of operations for his search. And so he waited, working various odd jobs to earn gil and drawing little attention to himself, knowing that the alternative would be to search blindly. When the combined threat that Dalamud and Garlemald posed became apparent, he enlisted at once with the Yellow Serpents reservists of Gridania's Order of the Twin Adder. Under his Grand Company's banner, he participated in the Battle of Carteneau and witnessed first-hand the Calamity.

He remembered falling as Bahamut emerged, but little else. When he awoke, he found himself in the familiar tangled trees of what he thought was the Black Shroud - but it, too, had changed. Somehow, he made his way back to Gridania, confused and weary, but soon learning how much time had passed. In time, he re-enlisted with the Grand Company to assist with the continuing threat of Ixali raids and Garlean incursions within the Twelveswood.

He remains uncertain of what the future may bring, but for now, this is the closest thing to a home that he has.

===Recent Events===

Shortly after meeting Erisande Marchand, heiress to House Marchand of Gridania and a well-known merchant, Yvelont began working for room and board as a woodsman and smith. The two elezen began talking more and more as the weeks passed, and soon confessed feelings for one another. Yvelont began serving as a bodyguard for Erisande during trips abroad to visit clients, the two becoming well-known faces to many merchants in Thanalan and La Noscea.

Having discovered Yvelont's past, Lady Erisande proposed a temporary relocation to Limsa Lominsa upon hearing tale of a man matching Percevains' description from a Maelstrom Officer traveling in the Shroud; the soldier claimed to have fought alongside him at Carteneau. Leaving House Marchand in the hands of the steward, Erisande accompanied Yvelont to Vylbrand via airship where they were met almost immediately by Aelurian Anduin, an old friend of Yvelont's from before the Calamity.

Aelurian secured work for Yvelont at Naldiq and Vyrmelli's, serving both as a means of making coin and of gathering information regarding Percevains. Some weeks passed before a stranger, an elderly hyur, asked for Yvelont by name, requesting a meeting at the lower decks. From him, Yvelont and Aelurian learned that Percevains could be found in Eastern La Noscea, offering to lead them there. The stranger professed he only requested the answer to one question as payment for the information: "What will you do when you meet him again?" Yvelont replied honestly: "I don't know." The Hyur merely nodded. "Perhaps you'll know when you see him. I cannot and will not influence you in this matter." He refused to answer any further questions, stating that he would remain in the city until evening should they wish to find him again at the Drowning Wench. Wasting little time, the two elezen made ready to depart, deciding not to tell Erisande of their journey out of concern for her safety.

Soon, they reached Raincatcher Gully and the small cottage where the Hyur claimed Percevains was staying. He led them inside, and Yvelont was shocked to see his brother, as pale as a ghost, lying on a small cot where an old Hyuran woman mopped at his brow with a wet towel. They had found him this way some few suns ago, the old couple informed Yvelont, feverish and rambling on about "those born of the dragon." During his increasingly few lucid moments, he claims to know nothing of the sort. The old woman was a conjurer, Fane-taught and powerful in her own right, but had been unable to nurse Percevains back to health. "I fear he is not long for this world," she told Yvelont quietly.

When Percevains' eyes found Yvelont, he knew him at once. He was sorry for leaving, he said, sorry for leading Yvelont astray by his actions. Knowing that he was, in fact, dying - Yvelont made his peace, told Percevains that he forgave him for all that had transpired in the past. "Brother." Percevains, with tears streaming freely down his cheeks for the first and last time that Yvelont had ever seen, gripped his arm with a surprising strength considering his weakened state. "Please believe--I am no heretic." His brother's grip faltered and Percevains fell back onto the bed. The old ones and Aelurian left, presumably to leave Yvelont to his grief, but all he could do was stare mutely at his brother's still form in disbelief. All of his tears had already been shed.

A pyre was soon built, as had been customary in their family, and Percevains' body burned to ashes. "Like dragonfire," Yvelont found himself thinking as he watched the flames rise high into the night sky.

'''Given name: ''Yvelont Navarre [Ee-vuh-lahnt Nuh-VAR]:''''' Yvelont was named for a heroic ancestor of his father's line, Ser Yvelont the Bear.

'''Aliases/Nicknames:''' The most common is "Yves," which is often used by friends and family members at home in Ishgard. Less common is "Yvel," used only in jest by an extremely small number of very close friends for its phonetic similarity to "Evil" - usually after beating them in some sport or game of chance.

'''Current residence:''' Varies.

'''Sexuality:''' Heterosexual

'''Religion:''' Halone, the Fury - He still holds to the tenets of his patron, but increasingly found himself questioning his beliefs as his faith in Ishgard's archbishop waned.

===Appearance===

'''Height:''' 6 fulms, 9 ilms - slightly above average for an Elezen male.

'''Weight:''' 220 ponz - possesses a larger frame than most Elezen. His overall musculature remains more along the lines of "lean and athletic" than of the bulky muscles common to Highlanders or Roegadyn. Despite his stature, he is deceptively light on his feet.

'''Other:''' A mane of dark brown hair frames a chiseled face with silvery-blue eyes. His head is usually covered by a bandana when ranging with the Twin Adders or otherwise at work. He carries himself with an easy confidence that's evident in his posture.

===Behavior===

'''Voice:''' Speaking in a rich baritone, his words are deliberately enunciated with a Northern accent.

'''Demeanor:''' Generally easygoing and friendly, but is often polite to a fault - particularly when nervous or speaking with someone he holds in high esteem, though this would likely not be obvious to someone who doesn't know him well.

'''Intelligence:''' Afforded an extensive education in Ishgard, he is well-spoken and possesses an impressive knowledge of woodslore and biology in particular. As an outsider, though, he can sometimes be a bit clueless about other city-states' customs and/or societal norms.

==Combat==
===General===

'''Style:''' Tends to use his reach to great advantage to wear his opponent down. However, he is a fairly well-rounded fighter and when forced to close distance, will incorporate his entire body into his arsenal, especially if wearing a suit of heavy plate.

'''Specialization:''' Favors two-handed weapons and polearms. He is also a capable brawler when forced into a bout of fisticuffs. Yvelont has neither the talent nor the inclination to use magick.

'''Strengths:''' Battles of attrition, all-out slugfests, and mid-range combat. When not encumbered by full plate the large elezen's footwork can be surprisingly quick, all but leaping across the battlefield to the attack.

'''Weaknesses:''' Ranged combatants such as thaumaturges or archers force him to attempt to close distance. A slippery, cunning opponent at extremely close range can exploit his slower movements for a deadly counterattack.

'''Armor:''' Mail or plate armor is always Yvelont's preference, only very rarely suiting up in hunting leathers when ranging.

Aelurian secured work for Yvelont at Naldiq and Vyrmelli's, serving both as a means of making coin and of gathering information regarding Percevains. Some weeks passed before a stranger, an elderly hyur, asked for Yvelont by name, requesting a meeting at the lower decks. From him, Yvelont and Aelurian learned that Percevains could be found in Eastern La Noscea, offering to lead them there. The stranger professed he only requested the answer to one question as payment for the information: "What will you do when you meet him again?" Yvelont replied honestly: "I don't know." The Hyur merely nodded. "Perhaps you'll know when you see him. I cannot and will not influence you in this matter." He refused to answer any further questions, stating that he would remain in the city until evening should they wish to find him again at the Drowning Wench. Wasting little time, the two elezen made ready to depart, deciding not to tell Erisande of their journey out of concern for her safety.

Soon, they reached Raincatcher Gully and the small cottage where the Hyur claimed Percevains was staying. He led them inside, and Yvelont was shocked to see his brother, as pale as a ghost, lying on a small cot where an old Hyuran woman mopped at his brow with a wet towel. They had found him this way some few suns ago, the old couple informed Yvelont, feverish and rambling on about "those born of the dragon." During his increasingly few lucid moments, he claims to know nothing of the sort. The old woman was a conjurer, Fane-taught and powerful in her own right, but had been unable to nurse Percevains back to health. "I fear he is not long for this world," she told Yvelont quietly.

When Percevains' eyes found Yvelont, he knew him at once. He was sorry for leaving, he said, sorry for leading Yvelont astray by his actions. Knowing that he was, in fact, dying - Yvelont made his peace, told Percevains that he forgave him for all that had transpired in the past. "Brother." Percevains, with tears streaming freely down his cheeks for the first and last time that Yvelont had ever seen, gripped his arm with a surprising strength considering his weakened state. "Please believe--I am no heretic." His brother's grip faltered and Percevains fell back onto the bed. The old ones and Aelurian left, presumably to leave Yvelont to his grief, but all he could do was stare mutely at his brother's still form in disbelief. All of his tears had already been shed.

A pyre was soon built, as had been customary in their family, and Percevains' body burned to ashes. "Like dragonfire," Yvelont found himself thinking as he watched the flames rise high into the night sky.

==Character==
===General===

'''Given name: ''Yvelont Navarre [Ee-vuh-lahnt Nuh-VAR]:''''' Yvelont was named for a heroic ancestor of his father's line, Ser Yvelont the Bear.

'''Aliases/Nicknames:''' The most common is "Yves," which is often used by friends and family members at home in Ishgard. Less common is "Yvel," used only in jest by an extremely small number of very close friends for its phonetic similarity to "Evil" - usually after beating them in some sport or game of chance.

'''Current residence:''' Varies.

'''Sexuality:''' Heterosexual

'''Religion:''' Halone, the Fury - He still holds to the tenets of his patron, but increasingly found himself questioning his beliefs as his faith in Ishgard's archbishop waned.

===Appearance===

'''Height:''' 6 fulms, 9 ilms - slightly above average for an Elezen male.

'''Weight:''' 220 ponz - possesses a larger frame than most Elezen. His overall musculature remains more along the lines of "lean and athletic" than of the bulky muscles common to Highlanders or Roegadyn. Despite his stature, he is deceptively light on his feet.

'''Other:''' A mane of dark brown hair frames a chiseled face with silvery-blue eyes. His head is usually covered by a bandana when ranging with the Twin Adders or otherwise at work. He carries himself with an easy confidence that's evident in his posture.

===Behavior===

'''Voice:''' Speaking in a rich baritone, his words are deliberately enunciated with a Northern accent.

'''Demeanor:''' Generally easygoing and friendly, but is often polite to a fault - particularly when nervous or speaking with someone he holds in high esteem, though this would likely not be obvious to someone who doesn't know him well.

'''Intelligence:''' Afforded an extensive education in Ishgard, he is well-spoken and possesses an impressive knowledge of woodslore and biology in particular. As an outsider, though, he can sometimes be a bit clueless about other city-states' customs and/or societal norms.

==Combat==
===General===

'''Style:''' Tends to use his reach to great advantage to wear his opponent down. However, he is a fairly well-rounded fighter and when forced to close distance, will incorporate his entire body into his arsenal, especially if wearing a suit of heavy plate.

'''Specialization:''' Favors two-handed weapons and polearms. He is also a capable brawler when forced into a bout of fisticuffs. Yvelont has neither the talent nor the inclination to use magick.

'''Strengths:''' Battles of attrition, all-out slugfests, and mid-range combat. When not encumbered by full plate the large elezen's footwork can be surprisingly quick, all but leaping across the battlefield to the attack.

'''Weaknesses:''' Ranged combatants such as thaumaturges or archers force him to attempt to close distance. A slippery, cunning opponent at extremely close range can exploit his slower movements for a deadly counterattack.

'''Armor:''' Mail or plate armor is always Yvelont's preference, only very rarely suiting up in hunting leathers when ranging.

'''Father: Arturioux Navarre - (Deceased)''' A lesser noble of Ishgard, anointed Knight of the realm, and a hard but fair man in matters of war and fatherhood. Arturioux took it upon himself to mold his two sons into Knights worthy of carrying the banners of House Fortemps. Perished in battle against the Dragons in the Coerthas Central Highlands.

'''Mother: Arillaine (Navarre) Devrieux -''' Although a loving mother in her sons' youth, her marriage to Arturioux was one of convenience. She remarried a mere moon after her required mourning period - something for which Yvelont never really forgave her.

'''Brother: Percevains Navarre - (Whereabouts Unknown)''' Yvelont's elder brother, who entered the Knighthood early and left under mysterious circumstance, branded a deserter.

===Friends and Acquaintances===

[[Kiht Jakkya]] - Yvelont's apprentice in the way of the spear, who has since grown in her own right as a lancer and taken on students of her own. Yvelont is immensely proud of his protege, considering her the younger sister he never had. The two have been through the hells and back, and Kiht is very likely Yvelont's closest friend.

[[R'shia Raha]] - A Seeker of the Sun Yvelont met in passing in Horizon, who then accompanied him back to Ul'dah whilst encouraging him to "just 'ave fun f'once in ya life." To his surprise, he's learned much about Miqo'te from her in the short time they've known each other, and is amused at her eagerness to teach him more.

[[Crisiet Liautroix]] - A fellow Ishgardian and lancer whose mannerisms remind Yvelont of his brother in many ways. A stout comrade in arms, Yvelont respects and feels a kinship towards him.

[[Ciel Wulfe]] - A Wildwood from Gridania with whom Yvelont fought at Carteneau. Hers is a comforting presence, even as she serves to remind him of the turbulent period five years ago.

[[Ruruwalu Vovowalu]] - A male Lalafell Yvelont met while in Ul'dah. While he wishes Ruru would conduct himself with more seriousness, he does sometimes find his antics amusing.

[[Bexy Amalaryssia]] - A particularly well-spoken Seeker of the Sun whom Yvelont has met only recently. She greatly intrigues him, apparently having had experiences similar to his own. It occurs to him that she is the only Miqo'te to whom he has felt compelled to address as "Lady," such is her bearing.

[[Mylene Wharf]] - A Midlander girl who tripped over Yvelont's longsword. The chance meeting has budded into an unlikely friendship with the much younger Hyur. Sensing her unworldliness, Yvelont is concerned for her well-being.

[[Tirisse Sunsinger]] - Met in passing in Ul'dah, Tirisse nevertheless left a positive impression with Yvelont. He admires her noble bearing as well as her care for Mylene. He would greatly welcome the opportunity to speak to her at length.

[[Erisande Marchand]] - Yvelont met Erisande at the Gridanian marketplace after breaking his axe during training with the Yellow Serpents. The two quickly fell in love, but recent events have necessitated a parting of ways.

[[Aelurian Anduin]] - A traveler from Limsa Lominsa, the two drinking buddies soon became training partners and fast friends.

===Enemies===

Considered a deserter since departing Coerthas' borders without leave, Yvelont has been branded a heretic by the Holy See of Ishgard due to his association with Percevains.

Sonata Arctica - "My Land" [http://youtu.be/W8Gqd0XPKsI]

Xanthochroid - "Land of Snow and Sorrow" (Original: Wintersun) [http://youtu.be/khw5Y3A9gSg]
==History/Timeline==

Yvelont was born into the Navarre family, a lesser house of Ishgard's nobility and vassal to House Fortemps. Despite its modest status, the house's lineage was a proud one, having produced a number of well-known knights over the centuries. Thus was Yvelont's destiny decided from birth. Besides his academic studies, Yvelont was given extensive training in swordsmanship, military strategy, and chocobo-handling alongside his elder brother, Percevains.

Although he threw himself into his physical training, he gained an ever-increasing love for the natural world. His aptitude for identifying and studying the flora of the land is what ultimately led him to a study of medicine. As part of his education, he soon served in the field as a doctor's assistant, and under different circumstances his path might have led to that of a chirurgeon. But the tragedy of Arturioux's death led him to fulfill his father's wishes and complete his training to become a full-fledged knight. Ishgard needed soldiers, and Yvelont had proven himself more than capable as a warrior. One full year later, he swore fealty to House, Nation, and the Archbishop before the altar of Halone alongside his brother and more who had proven themselves worthy. Soon, the young man found himself thrust into his nation's war against the dragons.

Time passed, and Yvelont participated in many battles against the dragonkind forces. The Ishgardian casualties were many. Traditional medicine was highly valued in Ishgard, where conjury was an outright rarity, and he found his time divided between the front lines and assisting with healing the wounded. Having seen the horrors of war from both of these perspectives, he soon began to question the point of it at all. Before he could ever give voice to his doubts, his brother went missing.

Percevains left without explanation, written or otherwise. There were witnesses who reported seeing him ride hard out of Whitebrim, heading south under the cover of darkness. Not long after, a draconian rosary was found in his quarters. He sought explanation from his superiors - even Lord Fortemps himself - but ultimately found only more questions.

At once, Yvelont's mind was made up. Before a fortnight had passed, he gathered what few belongings he could carry with him and followed after. It would mean being branded a deserter and a heretic, he knew, but he required answers. Yvelont could not imagine his brother consciously betraying his people; such a thing was unthinkable. And so he rode, going by a scant few eyewitness accounts.

His trail led him to Gridania, where it went cold. Settling in with the rising surge of adventurers answering the call of the Order of the Twin Adders Grand Company, Yvelont soon decided to use the forest-shrouded city as a base of operations for his search. And so he waited, working various odd jobs to earn gil and drawing little attention to himself, knowing that the alternative would be to search blindly. When the combined threat that Dalamud and Garlemald posed became apparent, he enlisted at once with the Yellow Serpents reservists of Gridania's Order of the Twin Adder. Under his Grand Company's banner, he participated in the Battle of Carteneau and witnessed first-hand the Calamity.

He remembered falling as Bahamut emerged, but little else. When he awoke, he found himself in the familiar tangled trees of what he thought was the Black Shroud - but it, too, had changed. Somehow, he made his way back to Gridania, confused and weary, but soon learning how much time had passed. In time, he re-enlisted with the Grand Company to assist with the continuing threat of Ixali raids and Garlean incursions within the Twelveswood.

He remains uncertain of what the future may bring, but for now, this is the closest thing to a home that he has.

===Recent Events===

Shortly after meeting Erisande Marchand, heiress to House Marchand of Gridania and a well-known merchant, Yvelont began working for room and board as a woodsman and smith. The two elezen began talking more and more as the weeks passed, and soon confessed feelings for one another. Yvelont began serving as a bodyguard for Erisande during trips abroad to visit clients, the two becoming well-known faces to many merchants in Thanalan and La Noscea.

Having discovered Yvelont's past, Lady Erisande proposed a temporary relocation to Limsa Lominsa upon hearing tale of a man matching Percevains' description from a Maelstrom Officer traveling in the Shroud; the soldier claimed to have fought alongside him at Carteneau. Leaving House Marchand in the hands of the steward, Erisande accompanied Yvelont to Vylbrand via airship where they were met almost immediately by Aelurian Anduin, an old friend of Yvelont's from before the Calamity.

Aelurian secured work for Yvelont at Naldiq and Vyrmelli's, serving both as a means of making coin and of gathering information regarding Percevains. Some weeks passed before a stranger, an elderly hyur, asked for Yvelont by name, requesting a meeting at the lower decks. From him, Yvelont and Aelurian learned that Percevains could be found in Eastern La Noscea, offering to lead them there. The stranger professed he only requested the answer to one question as payment for the information: "What will you do when you meet him again?" Yvelont replied honestly: "I don't know." The Hyur merely nodded. "Perhaps you'll know when you see him. I cannot and will not influence you in this matter." He refused to answer any further questions, stating that he would remain in the city until evening should they wish to find him again at the Drowning Wench. Wasting little time, the two elezen made ready to depart, deciding not to tell Erisande of their journey out of concern for her safety.

Soon, they reached Raincatcher Gully and the small cottage where the Hyur claimed Percevains was staying. He led them inside, and Yvelont was shocked to see his brother, as pale as a ghost, lying on a small cot where an old Hyuran woman mopped at his brow with a wet towel. They had found him this way some few suns ago, the old couple informed Yvelont, feverish and rambling on about "those born of the dragon." During his increasingly few lucid moments, he claims to know nothing of the sort. The old woman was a conjurer, Fane-taught and powerful in her own right, but had been unable to nurse Percevains back to health. "I fear he is not long for this world," she told Yvelont quietly.

When Percevains' eyes found Yvelont, he knew him at once. He was sorry for leaving, he said, sorry for leading Yvelont astray by his actions. Knowing that he was, in fact, dying - Yvelont made his peace, told Percevains that he forgave him for all that had transpired in the past. "Brother." Percevains, with tears streaming freely down his cheeks for the first and last time that Yvelont had ever seen, gripped his arm with a surprising strength considering his weakened state. "Please believe--I am no heretic." His brother's grip faltered and Percevains fell back onto the bed. The old ones and Aelurian left, presumably to leave Yvelont to his grief, but all he could do was stare mutely at his brother's still form in disbelief. All of his tears had already been shed.

A pyre was soon built, as had been customary in their family, and Percevains' body burned to ashes. "Like dragonfire," Yvelont found himself thinking as he watched the flames rise high into the night sky.

Traditional medicine was highly valued in Ishgard, where conjury was an outright rarity, and he found his time divided between the front lines and assisting with healing the wounded. Having seen the horrors of war from both of these perspectives, he soon began to question the point of it at all. Before he could ever give voice to his doubts, his brother went missing.

Percevains left without explanation, written or otherwise. There were witnesses who reported seeing him ride hard out of Whitebrim, heading south under the cover of darkness. Not long after, a draconian rosary was found in his quarters. He sought explanation from his superiors - even Lord Fortemps himself - but ultimately found only more questions.

At once, Yvelont's mind was made up. Before a fortnight had passed, he gathered what few belongings he could carry with him and followed after. It would mean being branded a deserter and a heretic, he knew, but he required answers. Yvelont could not imagine his brother consciously betraying his people; such a thing was unthinkable. And so he rode, going by a scant few eyewitness accounts.

His trail led him to Gridania, where it went cold. Settling in with the rising surge of adventurers answering the call of the Order of the Twin Adders Grand Company, Yvelont soon decided to use the forest-shrouded city as a base of operations for his search. And so he waited, working various odd jobs to earn gil and drawing little attention to himself, knowing that the alternative would be to search blindly. When the combined threat that Dalamud and Garlemald posed became apparent, he enlisted at once with the Yellow Serpents reservists of Gridania's Order of the Twin Adder. Under his Grand Company's banner, he participated in the Battle of Carteneau and witnessed first-hand the Calamity.

He remembered falling as Bahamut emerged, but little else. When he awoke, he found himself in the familiar tangled trees of what he thought was the Black Shroud - but it, too, had changed. Somehow, he made his way back to Gridania, confused and weary, but soon learning how much time had passed. In time, he re-enlisted with the Grand Company to assist with the continuing threat of Ixali raids and Garlean incursions within the Twelveswood.

He remains uncertain of what the future may bring, but for now, this is the closest thing to a home that he has.

===Recent Events===

Shortly after meeting Erisande Marchand, heiress to House Marchand of Gridania and a well-known merchant, Yvelont began working for room and board as a woodsman and smith. The two elezen began talking more and more as the weeks passed, and soon confessed feelings for one another. Yvelont began serving as a bodyguard for Erisande during trips abroad to visit clients, the two becoming well-known faces to many merchants in Thanalan and La Noscea.

Having discovered Yvelont's past, Lady Erisande proposed a temporary relocation to Limsa Lominsa upon hearing tale of a man matching Percevains' description from a Maelstrom Officer traveling in the Shroud; the soldier claimed to have fought alongside him at Carteneau. Leaving House Marchand in the hands of the steward, Erisande accompanied Yvelont to Vylbrand via airship where they were met almost immediately by Aelurian Anduin, an old friend of Yvelont's from before the Calamity.

Aelurian secured work for Yvelont at Naldiq and Vyrmelli's, serving both as a means of making coin and of gathering information regarding Percevains. Some weeks passed before a stranger, an elderly hyur, asked for Yvelont by name, requesting a meeting at the lower decks. From him, Yvelont and Aelurian learned that Percevains could be found in Eastern La Noscea, offering to lead them there. The stranger professed he only requested the answer to one question as payment for the information: "What will you do when you meet him again?" Yvelont replied honestly: "I don't know." The Hyur merely nodded. "Perhaps you'll know when you see him. I cannot and will not influence you in this matter." He refused to answer any further questions, stating that he would remain in the city until evening should they wish to find him again at the Drowning Wench. Wasting little time, the two elezen made ready to depart, deciding not to tell Erisande of their journey out of concern for her safety.

Soon, they reached Raincatcher Gully and the small cottage where the Hyur claimed Percevains was staying. He led them inside, and Yvelont was shocked to see his brother, as pale as a ghost, lying on a small cot where an old Hyuran woman mopped at his brow with a wet towel. They had found him this way some few suns ago, the old couple informed Yvelont, feverish and rambling on about "those born of the dragon." During his increasingly few lucid moments, he claims to know nothing of the sort. The old woman was a conjurer, Fane-taught and powerful in her own right, but had been unable to nurse Percevains back to health. "I fear he is not long for this world," she told Yvelont quietly.

When Percevains' eyes found Yvelont, he knew him at once. He was sorry for leaving, he said, sorry for leading Yvelont astray by his actions. Knowing that he was, in fact, dying - Yvelont made his peace, told Percevains that he forgave him for all that had transpired in the past. "Brother." Percevains, with tears streaming freely down his cheeks for the first and last time that Yvelont had ever seen, gripped his arm with a surprising strength considering his weakened state. "Please believe--I am no heretic." His brother's grip faltered and Percevains fell back onto the bed. The old ones and Aelurian left, presumably to leave Yvelont to his grief, but all he could do was stare mutely at his brother's still form in disbelief. All of his tears had already been shed.

A pyre was soon built, as had been customary in their family, and Percevains' body burned to ashes. "Like dragonfire," Yvelont found himself thinking as he watched the flames rise high into the night sky.

==Character==
===General===

'''Given name: ''Yvelont Navarre [Ee-vuh-lahnt Nuh-VAR]:''''' Yvelont was named for a heroic ancestor of his father's line, Ser Yvelont the Bear.

'''Aliases/Nicknames:''' The most common is "Yves," which is often used by friends and family members at home in Ishgard. Less common is "Yvel," used only in jest by an extremely small number of very close friends for its phonetic similarity to "Evil" - usually after beating them in some sport or game of chance.

'''Current residence:''' Varies.

'''Sexuality:''' Heterosexual

'''Religion:''' Halone, the Fury - He still holds to the tenets of his patron, but increasingly found himself questioning his beliefs as his faith in Ishgard's archbishop waned.

===Appearance===

'''Height:''' 6 fulms, 9 ilms - slightly above average for an Elezen male.

'''Weight:''' 220 ponz - possesses a larger frame than most Elezen. His overall musculature remains more along the lines of "lean and athletic" than of the bulky muscles common to Highlanders or Roegadyn. Despite his stature, he is deceptively light on his feet.

'''Other:''' A mane of dark brown hair frames a chiseled face with silvery-blue eyes. His head is usually covered by a bandana when ranging with the Twin Adders or otherwise at work. He carries himself with an easy confidence that's evident in his posture.

===Behavior===

'''Voice:''' Speaking in a rich baritone, his words are deliberately enunciated with a Northern accent.

'''Demeanor:''' Generally easygoing and friendly, but is often polite to a fault - particularly when nervous or speaking with someone he holds in high esteem, though this would likely not be obvious to someone who doesn't know him well.

'''Intelligence:''' Afforded an extensive education in Ishgard, he is well-spoken and possesses an impressive knowledge of woodslore and biology in particular. As an outsider, though, he can sometimes be a bit clueless about other city-states' customs and/or societal norms.

==Combat==
===General===

'''Style:''' Tends to use his reach to great advantage to wear his opponent down. However, he is a fairly well-rounded fighter and when forced to close distance, will incorporate his entire body into his arsenal, especially if wearing a suit of heavy plate.

'''Specialization:''' Favors two-handed weapons and polearms. He is also a capable brawler when forced into a bout of fisticuffs. Yvelont has neither the talent nor the inclination to use magick.

'''Strengths:''' Battles of attrition, all-out slugfests, and mid-range combat. When not encumbered by full plate the large elezen's footwork can be surprisingly quick, all but leaping across the battlefield to the attack.

'''Weaknesses:''' Ranged combatants such as thaumaturges or archers force him to attempt to close distance. A slippery, cunning opponent at extremely close range can exploit his slower movements for a deadly counterattack.

'''Armor:''' Mail or plate armor is always Yvelont's preference, only very rarely suiting up in hunting leathers when ranging.

'''Father: Arturioux Navarre - (Deceased)''' A lesser noble of Ishgard, anointed Knight of the realm, and a hard but fair man in matters of war and fatherhood. Arturioux took it upon himself to mold his two sons into Knights worthy of carrying the banners of House Fortemps. Perished in battle against the Dragons in the Coerthas Central Highlands.

'''Mother: Arillaine (Navarre) Devrieux -''' Although a loving mother in her sons' youth, her marriage to Arturioux was one of convenience. She remarried a mere moon after her required mourning period - something for which Yvelont never really forgave her.

'''Brother: Percevains Navarre - (Whereabouts Unknown)''' Yvelont's elder brother, who entered the Knighthood early and left under mysterious circumstance, branded a deserter.

===Friends and Acquaintances===

[[Kiht Jakkya]] - Yvelont's apprentice in the way of the spear, who has since grown in her own right as a lancer and taken on students of her own. Yvelont is immensely proud of his protege, considering her the younger sister he never had. The two have been through the hells and back, and Kiht is very likely Yvelont's closest friend.

[[R'shia Raha]] - A Seeker of the Sun Yvelont met in passing in Horizon, who then accompanied him back to Ul'dah whilst encouraging him to "just 'ave fun f'once in ya life." To his surprise, he's learned much about Miqo'te from her in the short time they've known each other, and is amused at her eagerness to teach him more.

[[Crisiet Liautroix]] - A fellow Ishgardian and lancer whose mannerisms remind Yvelont of his brother in many ways. A stout comrade in arms, Yvelont respects and feels a kinship towards him.

[[Ciel Wulfe]] - A Wildwood from Gridania with whom Yvelont fought at Carteneau. Hers is a comforting presence, even as she serves to remind him of the turbulent period five years ago.

[[Ruruwalu Vovowalu]] - A male Lalafell Yvelont met while in Ul'dah. While he wishes Ruru would conduct himself with more seriousness, he does sometimes find his antics amusing.

[[Bexy Amalaryssia]] - A particularly well-spoken Seeker of the Sun whom Yvelont has met only recently. She greatly intrigues him, apparently having had experiences similar to his own. It occurs to him that she is the only Miqo'te to whom he has felt compelled to address as "Lady," such is her bearing.

[[Mylene Wharf]] - A Midlander girl who tripped over Yvelont's longsword. The chance meeting has budded into an unlikely friendship with the much younger Hyur. Sensing her unworldliness, Yvelont is concerned for her well-being.

[[Tirisse Sunsinger]] - Met in passing in Ul'dah, Tirisse nevertheless left a positive impression with Yvelont. He admires her noble bearing as well as her care for Mylene. He would greatly welcome the opportunity to speak to her at length.

[[Erisande Marchand]] - Yvelont met Erisande at the Gridanian marketplace after breaking his axe during training with the Yellow Serpents. The two quickly fell in love, but recent events have necessitated a parting of ways.

[[Aelurian Anduin]] - A traveler from Limsa Lominsa, the two drinking buddies soon became training partners and fast friends.

===Enemies===

Considered a deserter since departing Coerthas' borders without leave, Yvelont has been branded a heretic by the Holy See of Ishgard due to his association with Percevains.

::* "He's one of the 'venturers in the Yellow Serpents, him. Can't say I well trust all these outsiders comin' of late." - Suspicious Carpenter

::* "That one's always quick to buy any traveler a drink for news. Seems like he's looking for someone. I hope he finds him alive and well." - Good-natured Conjurer
::* "He claims to be a simple doctor, but I've seen him fight. We were attacked by an ixali raiding party en route to Quarrymill, and he was like a meteor crashing into their ranks. I don't know where he learned to wield that lance of his, but that's not the sort of ability that comes naturally - nor is it even taught at the Wailing Barracks." - Veteran Wailer

Xanthochroid - "Land of Snow and Sorrow" (Original: Wintersun) [http://youtu.be/khw5Y3A9gSg]
==History/Timeline==

Yvelont was born into the Navarre family, a lesser house of Ishgard's nobility and vassal to House Fortemps. Despite its modest status, the house's lineage was a proud one, having produced a number of well-known knights over the centuries. Thus was Yvelont's destiny decided from birth. Besides his academic studies, Yvelont was given extensive training in swordsmanship, military strategy, and chocobo-handling alongside his elder brother, Percevains.

Although he threw himself into his physical training, he gained an ever-increasing love for the natural world. His aptitude for identifying and studying the flora of the land is what ultimately led him to a study of medicine. As part of his education, he soon served in the field as a doctor's assistant, and under different circumstances his path might have led to that of a chirurgeon. But the tragedy of Arturioux's death led him to fulfill his father's wishes and complete his training to become a full-fledged knight. Ishgard needed soldiers, and Yvelont had proven himself more than capable as a warrior. One full year later, he swore fealty to House, Nation, and the Archbishop before the altar of Halone alongside his brother and more who had proven themselves worthy. Soon, the young man found himself thrust into his nation's war against the dragons.

Time passed, and Yvelont participated in many battles against the dragonkind forces. The Ishgardian casualties were many. Traditional medicine was highly valued in Ishgard, where conjury was an outright rarity, and he found his time divided between the front lines and assisting with healing the wounded. Having seen the horrors of war from both of these perspectives, he soon began to question the point of it at all. Before he could ever give voice to his doubts, his brother went missing.

Percevains left without explanation, written or otherwise. There were witnesses who reported seeing him ride hard out of Whitebrim, heading south under the cover of darkness. Not long after, a draconian rosary was found in his quarters. He sought explanation from his superiors - even Lord Fortemps himself - but ultimately found only more questions.

At once, Yvelont's mind was made up. Before a fortnight had passed, he gathered what few belongings he could carry with him and followed after. It would mean being branded a deserter and a heretic, he knew, but he required answers. Yvelont could not imagine his brother consciously betraying his people; such a thing was unthinkable. And so he rode, going by a scant few eyewitness accounts.

His trail led him to Gridania, where it went cold. Settling in with the rising surge of adventurers answering the call of the Order of the Twin Adders Grand Company, Yvelont soon decided to use the forest-shrouded city as a base of operations for his search. And so he waited, working various odd jobs to earn gil and drawing little attention to himself, knowing that the alternative would be to search blindly. When the combined threat that Dalamud and Garlemald posed became apparent, he enlisted at once with the Yellow Serpents reservists of Gridania's Order of the Twin Adder. Under his Grand Company's banner, he participated in the Battle of Carteneau and witnessed first-hand the Calamity.

He remembered falling as Bahamut emerged, but little else. When he awoke, he found himself in the familiar tangled trees of what he thought was the Black Shroud - but it, too, had changed. Somehow, he made his way back to Gridania, confused and weary, but soon learning how much time had passed. In time, he re-enlisted with the Grand Company to assist with the continuing threat of Ixali raids and Garlean incursions within the Twelveswood.

He remains uncertain of what the future may bring, but for now, this is the closest thing to a home that he has.

Sonata Arctica - "My Land" [http://youtu.be/W8Gqd0XPKsI]

Xanthochroid - "Land of Snow and Sorrow" (Original: Wintersun) [http://youtu.be/khw5Y3A9gSg]
==History/Timeline==

Yvelont was born into the Navarre family, a lesser house of Ishgard's nobility and vassal to House Fortemps. Despite its modest status, the house's lineage was a proud one, having produced a number of well-known knights over the centuries. Thus was Yvelont's destiny decided from birth. Besides his academic studies, Yvelont was given extensive training in swordsmanship, military strategy, and chocobo-handling alongside his elder brother, Percevains.

Although he threw himself into his physical training, he gained an ever-increasing love for the natural world. His aptitude for identifying and studying the flora of the land is what ultimately led him to a study of medicine. As part of his education, he soon served in the field as a doctor's assistant, and under different circumstances his path might have led to that of a chirurgeon. But the tragedy of Arturioux's death led him to fulfill his father's wishes and complete his training to become a full-fledged knight. Ishgard needed soldiers, and Yvelont had proven himself more than capable as a warrior. One full year later, he swore fealty to House, Nation, and the Archbishop before the altar of Halone alongside his brother and more who had proven themselves worthy. Soon, the young man found himself thrust into his nation's war against the dragons.

Time passed, and Yvelont participated in many battles against the dragonkind forces. The Ishgardian casualties were many. Traditional medicine was highly valued in Ishgard, where conjury was an outright rarity, and he found his time divided between the front lines and assisting with healing the wounded. Having seen the horrors of war from both of these perspectives, he soon began to question the point of it at all. Before he could ever give voice to his doubts, his brother went missing.

Percevains left without explanation, written or otherwise. There were witnesses who reported seeing him ride hard out of Whitebrim, heading south under the cover of darkness. Not long after, a draconian rosary was found in his quarters. He sought explanation from his superiors - even Lord Fortemps himself - but ultimately found only more questions.

At once, Yvelont's mind was made up. Before a fortnight had passed, he gathered what few belongings he could carry with him and followed after. It would mean being branded a deserter and a heretic, he knew, but he required answers. Yvelont could not imagine his brother consciously betraying his people; such a thing was unthinkable. And so he rode, going by a scant few eyewitness accounts.

His trail led him to Gridania, where it went cold. Settling in with the rising surge of adventurers answering the call of the Order of the Twin Adders Grand Company, Yvelont soon decided to use the forest-shrouded city as a base of operations for his search. And so he waited, working various odd jobs to earn gil and drawing little attention to himself, knowing that the alternative would be to search blindly. When the combined threat that Dalamud and Garlemald posed became apparent, he enlisted at once with the Yellow Serpents reservists of Gridania's Order of the Twin Adder. Under his Grand Company's banner, he participated in the Battle of Carteneau and witnessed first-hand the Calamity.

He remembered falling as Bahamut emerged, but little else. When he awoke, he found himself in the familiar tangled trees of what he thought was the Black Shroud - but it, too, had changed. Somehow, he made his way back to Gridania, confused and weary, but soon learning how much time had passed. In time, he re-enlisted with the Grand Company to assist with the continuing threat of Ixali raids and Garlean incursions within the Twelveswood.

He remains uncertain of what the future may bring, but for now, this is the closest thing to a home that he has.

===Recent Events===

Shortly after meeting Erisande Marchand, heiress to House Marchand of Gridania and a well-known merchant, Yvelont began working for room and board as a woodsman and smith. The two elezen began talking more and more as the weeks passed, and soon confessed feelings for one another. Yvelont began serving as a bodyguard for Erisande during trips abroad to visit clients, the two becoming well-known faces to many merchants in Thanalan and La Noscea.

Having discovered Yvelont's past, Lady Erisande proposed a temporary relocation to Limsa Lominsa upon hearing tale of a man matching Percevains' description from a Maelstrom Officer traveling in the Shroud; the soldier claimed to have fought alongside him at Carteneau. Leaving House Marchand in the hands of the steward, Erisande accompanied Yvelont to Vylbrand via airship where they were met almost immediately by Aelurian Anduin, an old friend of Yvelont's from before the Calamity.

Aelurian secured work for Yvelont at Naldiq and Vyrmelli's, serving both as a means of making coin and of gathering information regarding Percevains. Some weeks passed before a stranger, an elderly hyur, asked for Yvelont by name, requesting a meeting at the lower decks. From him, Yvelont and Aelurian learned that Percevains could be found in Eastern La Noscea, offering to lead them there. The stranger professed he only requested the answer to one question as payment for the information: "What will you do when you meet him again?" Yvelont replied honestly: "I don't know." The Hyur merely nodded. "Perhaps you'll know when you see him. I cannot and will not influence you in this matter." He refused to answer any further questions, stating that he would remain in the city until evening should they wish to find him again at the Drowning Wench. Wasting little time, the two elezen made ready to depart, deciding not to tell Erisande of their journey out of concern for her safety.

Soon, they reached Raincatcher Gully and the small cottage where the Hyur claimed Percevains was staying. He led them inside, and Yvelont was shocked to see his brother, as pale as a ghost, lying on a small cot where an old Hyuran woman mopped at his brow with a wet towel. They had found him this way some few suns ago, the old couple informed Yvelont, feverish and rambling on about "those born of the dragon." During his increasingly few lucid moments, he claims to know nothing of the sort. The old woman was a conjurer, Fane-taught and powerful in her own right, but had been unable to nurse Percevains back to health. "I fear he is not long for this world," she told Yvelont quietly.

When Percevains' eyes found Yvelont, he knew him at once. He was sorry for leaving, he said, sorry for leading Yvelont astray by his actions. Knowing that he was, in fact, dying - Yvelont made his peace, told Percevains that he forgave him for all that had transpired in the past. "Brother." Percevains, with tears streaming freely down his cheeks for the first and last time that Yvelont had ever seen, gripped his arm with a surprising strength considering his weakened state. "Please believe--I am no heretic." His brother's grip faltered and Percevains fell back onto the bed. The old ones and Aelurian left, presumably to leave Yvelont to his grief, but all he could do was stare mutely at his brother's still form in disbelief. All of his tears had already been shed.

A pyre was soon built, as had been customary in their family, and Percevains' body burned to ashes. "Like dragonfire," Yvelont found himself thinking as he watched the flames rise high into the night sky.

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General===
R'Shia (Ruh SHEE-ah), sired by Raha Nunh and born in the deserts of Thanalan to the Raptor tribe. Their clan is smaller and much more crude in terms of technology, and generally-speaking their way of life. Though many of their kin advanced with with the world in how they shaped their homes, their weapons, this partiuclar clan chose to remain more primal and wild as they wished to stay with their roots thinking that straying would make them weak, especially when it came to hunting.

Since leaving the tribe, she is proud to say she is one of the Raptors, but would much prefer people just called her Shia without the 'Ruh' at the start.

===Appearance===
Tanned, almost-golden complexion with a red tint. Her body is slender and lithe, yet naturally muscular with an athletic build and strong, powerful calves to show she can chase and run after prey no matter the distance. Striking, ice-blue eyes that make her appear forever disinterested and bored. The most notable thing about her (and even Shia loves it) is her extremely long lioness tail

===Behavior===
Flirty, and usually speaking with a honeyed-voice laced with purrings, Shia will talk to anybody and anything, and if you are unable to keep her attention she will very easily grow disinterested as she always looks for the next-best-thing, enjoying the thrill of the 'hunt' to find her next bed-warmer whether male or female.

Thanks to her traditional, and more primal upbringing, her voice is one of the most naturally rasping, grumbling-sounding of miqo'te - but she uses it to her advantage as her prey always seem to be enchanted by her rumbling purrs and rolled 'R's.

==Combat==
===General===
If you still hadn't learned to walk, swim, hunt and track by the time you were six, you were useless to the tribe.

Through intense training, Shia had to learn to survive within the clan and to prove herself - there were many unhappy childhoods in this Raptor clan, but the byproduct is that all their huntresses are some of the most fearsome, strongest and independent miqo'te found - which may be why Shia holds herself with much confidence and sees no shame in being brutally honest with her thoughts, opinions... and her body.

===Acquantinces===

[[R'khiro Tia]] - It is never quite sure what these two are, and many people think they are sibling-lovers thanks to their striking resemblance but they are far from that - siblings that is. R'khiro ran away with R'Shia from their clan because he didn't want her taken by the Nunh. Upon reaching the cities they both decided that they should live a full and experienced life with 'fun' being their philosphy. Shia affectionately calls him 'Khi-Khi', or 'Rucky' when he's being naughty. Sometimes she thinks that he loves her and the notion terrifies her.

[[Yvelont Navarre]] - The two met when Shia found herself in Horizon, watching the local miqo'te girl dance. The elezan thought she had dishonest intentions, but she tried - casually - to convince him otherwise, even attempting with some effort on her part to get to know him thanks to the interest he showed in her as a person - she thinks - and he kept her interest due to him being the first elezan she has ever spoken to. Shia won his attention easily with her radiant confidence. Yvelont is the first man she hasn't grown bored of and able to tolerate for more than a bell, and she encouraged him to "just 'ave fun f'once in ya life" - and to start with her.

===Enemies===
Shia wishes to only make lovers, not enemies.

Just ran. As far as they could, as long as their legs could carry them.

Hiding themselves, they visited Limsa for a very short moment of time but for reasons unknown they went to Ul'dah where the two miqo'te have been constantly teasing all the patrons of the Quicksand.

WARNING. HIDEOUSLY UNDER-CONSTRUCTION AND RIFE WITH SPOILERS AND RAW INFORMATION. AND BAD WRITING.

===Information===
Elyscia Rose is a country bumpkin, and a very inept and inexperienced girl who often keeps to herself. Raised by a Hyur family in a little, close-minded, Hyur-only community.

When she finally left her village the people she met along her journeys, in the small towns and big cities, were perplexed to find just how naive and ignorant she was to everything outside of the safe little countryside community she refused to call 'home'.

:'''Elyscia Rose:''' Eh-Lie-Sea-Ah or E-lie-shah (depending on how vocally cat-like your Miqo'te is)

<table style="position:center;" width="75%">
<tr>

:'''Height:''' 5 fulms 2 ilms

:'''Body:''' Not one to remain static, Elyscia constantly found activities for herself and was a well-active farm-girl; she'd spend most of her days making use of her miqo'te grace and power by climbing-up trees, and poking pugil fish with a stick before running away from them. Elyscia had been malnourished, though not visibly obvious anymore, she remains skinny lithe and petite, looking healthier than she did before as her face is fuller to show her youthful appearance. Typical of Seeker of the Sun skintones she has a rose-tinted complexion, and isn't prone to tanning easily.

:'''Face:''' Though a simple countryside bumpkin with not much impressive about her, Elyscia's notable features are her firey-red hair, and her stunning, bright, rich green and wide eyes, filled with an ever-curious, almost child-like expression.

:'''Attire:''' <i>"Green.. Did'ja choose it 'cause o' me eyes?"</i> A green tabard is her signature wear, and one of her most treasured and sentimentally-valued items, as it was the very first thing someone had bought her something.

===Character and Outward Appearances and Personality===
This category is spoiler-free and details everything you would first notice about Elyscia Rose upon meeting her. This is from her physique, to quirks, mannerisms, and the way she speaks.
:[[File:Ely.png|200 px|left|]]

:'''Voice:''' Miqo'te genetically speak with a slight hissing/spitting sound, which is present in Elyscia's voice, but barely so as she grew-up in a hyur-community ad her voice imitated their ways of speaking.
Her accent makes her voice inadvertently whimsical as her country dialect is very tonal. It's hard to pinpoint exactly how she chooses which words to say higher or lower, but the pattern seems to be; low/normal tone, then every third word said in a higher-tone - of course it varies depending on what's being said. Her colourful vocalbulary is full of profanities that would impress a pirate, and though rather tomboyish sounding at times, her voice is somewhat dulcet. As she has spent most of her time in the city and with a learned man who never swears, she has been less prone to using profanities - until she speaks to her sister.

:'''Demeanour:''' Towards new people, Elyscia will be sceptical and cautious which may be misinterpreted as being shy (though she is still quite shy), and she will perhaps be even rude and blunt to others but that is more due to the fact she has not learned city etiquette and manners. There are certain races she will be considerably wary of, but she tries her best not to show it and even going as far as to giving them a chance - depending on her mood. It is peculiar and not quite understood why she's fond of Lalafells

:'''Quirks:''' Elyscia constantly has her tail coiled around her somewhere; either draping around her waist or hips, thigh, 'glued' to the back of her leg, or she would even hold it in her hand never allowing it 'loose' or swaying around freely.

<table style="position:center;" width="75%">

===Relationships===

[[K'laka Tia]] - Many titles were used by Elyscia to name this male miqo'te: 'Babysitter', 'mister,' 'aldgoat,' 'teacher,' and now 'partner.'
[[File:Lkll.png|right]]
He appeared out of nowhere and offered to help her stand on her own two feet, getting her bearings around the despicable dog-eat-dog world which is Ul'Dahn life. It was discovered much later that Momodi convinced K'laka to lend a hand to Elyscia because of their similar struggles in life, and due to a debt he owed to Momodi herself and the Guild, forcing the miqo'te man to take her as a charge and ward relationship.
However, they both could not stand each other: he would call her an insufferable whelp amoungst many other names, and she would call him a Godsdamned aldgoat as well as a multitude of swears. They both would insult each other; far too stubborn and with senseless pride to ever let-up, boiling each other's blood and even becoming almost physically aggressive towards one another. The heat finally simmered when Elyscia showed an interest in learning to read and write where they both discovered that they enjoyed one another's company immensely when they're not arguing.

Eventually, they developed feelings for each other which was revealed during a particularly stressful period of their lifes

K'laka is Elyscia's first love, and she hopes he will be her last and only. Though their lives are currently suffering through a particularly dramatic, hard, and stressful point, their relationship grows stronger and the two always seems to come out on-top, as with every event they realise how they can't imagine their future without the other, and are falling deeper and deeper in-love.

[[Sarah Sparrow]] - Estranged for most of their life, Elyscia reunited with her older sister upon fate. Despite them being different races entirely, they will often argue with others that they look alike by usually pointing out their red hair.

The sisters were best friends when they were children, but around the age of six, Sarah one day would refuse to talk or even acknowledge her - even going as far as to join-in with the other children and pick-on the young miqo'te, and would be one of the reasons for Elyscia's withdrawn personality.
The last time Sarah acknowledged Elyscia was during a particular event when they were teenagers that lead to Sarah leaving the village for good; something that confused the girl so much that it would stew and turn into hatred and anger; Elyscia could never forgive her and she grew bitter.

Sarah is one of Elyscia's sources of confidence and comfort; when she's around her sister she can clutch around her arm or hand and feel brave enough to talk to other hyurs or people in-general where normally she would never do so, and where she can be herself. Though they are generally on friendly terms, the sister's are stressed when it comes to Elyscia's love - K'laka - as Sarah hates him, and in-turn he hates Sarah.

As much as Elyscia loves her sister, she stills finds it hard to trust her completely.

===PC Rumors===
If your character was asked by a stranger what they think or know of about Elyscia Rose, what would they say?

::*[[Pyralis Targaryen]]: The fiesty miqo'te Elyscia? She talks like a pirate and lives in a tree. Thus, I named her the "pirate tree".
::*[[K'laka Tia]]: "... And what business is my partner to you? Get out of my sight before I remove you personally!"
::*[[Warren Castille]] "I know her, yes. Awful shy. She seems more willing to talk to Victory than to me."

==Character==
===General===
Shia, sired by Raha Nunh and born in the wilds of Thanalan to the Raptor tribe. Their clan is smaller and much more crude in terms of 'technology'; Though many of their kin advanced with with the world in how they shaped their homes, their weapons, this partiuclar clan chose to remain more primal and wild as they wished to stay with their roots thinking that straying would make them weak, especially when it came to hunting.

===Appearance===
Tanned, almost-golden complexion. Her body is slender and lithe. The most notable thing about
Bronzed silt-colored skin, strong hazel eyes. Slightly muscular, but not overtly. Quite small for a Highlander, but sturdy. Windblown white locks, cut at a stop behind her head.

===Behavior===
From a distance, Galena looks bright but intimidating, but in person is anything but intimidating. She carries herself as a learned noble military daughter should, but does so to protect a caring heart and a mental disposition to protect those around her.

==Combat==
===General===
Galena was learned in the ways of the Paladin prior to the climax of Carteneau. However, proving her intelligence in battle, and having a sharp mind when it came to tactics lead her into the upper echelon of the Limsan military. Galena began her studies of the military generals known as "Scholars" soon after.

Galena is skilled with a blade, but masterful with her mind. Her strategies saved lives, but more importantly, spared lives.

==Relationships==
===Family===

Galena was born to Sangridr Brynhildr (Mother), and Eirik Brynhildr (Father). A noble female bloodline intertwined to a charismatic Paladin commandant. None is known as to the fates of her father and mother, and she had no siblings.

===Acquantinces===
[[Yvelont Navarre]] - The two met when Shia found herself in Horizon, watching the local miqo'te girl dance. Yveloant is the first elezan, and the first

===Enemies===
[Saved]

==History==

After the fall of Ala Mhigo, Galena was stowed onto a merchant skiff headed for the tradewinds to Limsa Lominsa. There, she found a welcoming albeit precautious home among the Limsan seafarers. She was not openly persecuted for the sins of her ancestors 100-or-so years ago, but was held at arms length. She began her life as an indentured worker to a prominent merchant in the Limsa Lominsan merchant fleet. There, she discovered a potent charisma and honed her body to attempt to equal her mind.

After a time, Galena was selected to serve in the military of Limsa Lominsa, which she openly accepted.(Anything beats indenturist work.) Galena fought under the banner of the Maelstrom and attempted to whittle away back to her home, Ala Mhigo, with the Maelstrom at her side. Prior to the events of Carteneau, Galena held a staunch defense against the onslaught from the Garlean forces. She lead, and bled, with some of the bravest Eorzea has ever known. What happened after is burned into the annals of history as a scar among the people of Eorzea, the loss of so many...

Post-calamity, Galena has never faltered in her studies, nor the way of the blade; she fights still under the Maelstrom banner, but as a general. Her scholary exploits have earned the eyes and ears of many. She most recently has joined swords with a Free Company hailing from the desert land of Ul'dah, to further the prosperity the alliance attempts to protect.
