Chaotic Good General Information The youngest of the two children born to Alexandre and Fabienne Torchier, Oleandre comes from a home that values scholarly pursuits, traditional Ishgardian values, and patronage of the arts. From a young age Oleandre clashed with his father but was incredibly close to his mother. This formula would continue throughout his life, though his mother would die young during childbirth with his beloved sister, Genevre. Oleandre was sent to the prestigious Scholasticate at a very young age at the behest of his father who held tenure in its hallowed halls. The better part of his formative years were spent studying mathematics and science. During his years at school he discovered his love for wine: both drinking and crafting it, a passion that he would hone throughout the remainder of his adult life. Shortly before commencement, Oleandre was called home and given the news that the small family was expecting a second child, and it was during this trip that his life would be changed forever by the death of his mother whom he loved above all others. Oleandre completed his studies and began to work both as a lecturer, and to grow his personal business, Torchier Vineyards which he still maintains on a very small scale. During this time he spent much of his time traveling throughout the southern states lecturing children of wealthier households that could afford to provide their children private tutelage. It was during this time that Oleandre discovered his love of writing. He wrote hundreds of letters, all either to his sister of his best friend, Dacian whom he had met at school. After the historic Battle of Carteneau, Oleandre returned home to the Shroud to find his sister quite changed. She spoked in mysteries, cared little for her hygiene and often disappeared for suns at a time. He found, too late, that she had been experimenting with forbidden magicks. As a hearer, she knew the danger of this, but Oleandre could not sway her from this path. She now wanders the Shroud, a mere shade of her former self, broken by the wrathful elementals. Alexandre passed away soon after, heartbroken at the loss of his only daughter, leaving Oleandre a sizeable fortune and a missive to usher the fledgling Performing Arts Center that he had began into existence. Thus was Palazzo Aldenard founded. Oleandre prays he will be fit to the task of honoring his late-father. ❝ Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something. ❞ Appearance Hair & Eyes Chestnut hair and honey-colored eyes Physique & Markings Long, lithe body, slight musculature Hygiene & Attire Impeccably groomed and dressed, always one to impress Personality Psychological Profile INTJ - Oleandre is a generally kind and magnanimous person. He tends to be introverted excepting where business is involved, when he turns the charm up. Voice Smooth and debonair Philosophy & Mannerisms Oleandre has a strong moral compass derived not from any philosophical or theological learning, but from his own experiences. He is unwavering in his dedication to what he thinks is right, highly opinionated, and terribly headstrong.

RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask. ■ I will play . ■ Ask about . ■ I won't play . RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
