His interest in exercise and martial activities was at first encouraged by his mother, but later his father, a notable clergyman within the Holy See, took steps to limit his exposure to the outside world. Tutors were brought into the manor regularly, schooling Allont in the aspects of society his father wanted him to see. He learnt about the Dragons and their great evils, as well as the importance of conformity. Despite these lessons, Allont would find some way or another to gain scraps of information from outside the vaulted gates. As his father wanted him to inherit an official position within the Holy See, this continued up until his early teens. Being locked away, Allont maintained a studious air on the surface, but often found time to practice with an old book of combat techniques from his late grandfather’s study. He would bring it late after the household had gone to bed, practicing gentle punches and tip-toed twirls so as not to incur the wrath of his parents. This practice continued until the age of 15, when he had finished his formal schooling. | His interest in exercise and martial activities was at first encouraged by his mother, but later his father, a notable clergyman within the Holy See, took steps to limit his exposure to the outside world.

Details
General Information Allont de Laupeois is a Wildwood Elezen hailing from Ishgard. He spent most of his early years fighting for the Holy See during the Dragonsong War, where he gained a fierce reputation for himself as a ruthless killer, often going above and beyond expectations. During this time, he was credited with claiming the head of Amoraskr, an infamous named Dragon responsible for the destruction of many expeditions. Rumours from those times claim that Allont and his team were honed to a high level, using suicidal tactics that would help them to claim two more famous kills, but they are not backed up by the archives of the Holy See. Known to be bloodthirsty to the point of sheer stupidity, he was looked down upon by most of his peers for being too foolhardy in combat, despite being a feared lancer on the battlefield and during duels. After sustaining a major injury to the helmet fighting in the field, he was retired to the rear to train future generations of Dragoons. However, his teaching methods were found to be both unstable. After many complaints, he was forced to bury his armour at the field of his valour, resigning his post in the Order of the Knight's Dragoon. He was considered a highly unpopular figure during the war. After the war, he was rotated back into the Temple Knights, although soon after he was granted a long leave of absence. He now travels Eorzea plying his trade as a lancer, and making enough gil to fund his personal pursuits in botany, and other peaceful affairs. Appearance

History . Disclaimer: I am fully aware there are a lot of powerful abilities to most dragoons that might seem silly to claim with any fairness in roleplay, especially so with my own. With Allont, I am trying something new by creating something of a legend behind the person through his backstory. Most of that legend will never appear in roleplay. I believe it to be a very interesting part of the character, which some might be able to use for RP. With just a cursory glance a lot of the backstory a lot within might seem like an excuse to play some sort of power fantasy. I would urge you to look past what you might see as shallow claims as I firmly believe Allont to be more than just his past history. I don't intend to play him for combat, nor do I intend to parade him around in an intrusive way. If you don't agree with anything I've written, please feel free to let me know. I am always open for self-improvement, even more so on the part of a character that I consider to have an unapolagetically strong background. Thank you for your understanding.
