Madison is the daughter of Sharlayan refugees who fled to Ishgard when the research colony collapsed 20 years ago. Her parents, being academically and aetherically gifted, were able to make a decent living for themselves in the notoriously socially unaccepting landscape of Ishgard. She'd grow up in The Foundation but despite their middle class status, Madison would always find difficulties stemming from being born Hyuran. A recent arrival to the lower city states, Madison joined the Pathfinders as her first real employment. She works as a musician and performer in Neverfar's tavern.

'''Demeanor:''' Madison was raised in Ishgard, brought up to be a Lady as her family worked tirelessly to fit into their surroundings to avoid any suspicion or detection from the Holy See. Her manner of speaking and way she carries herself is refined, yet has been beginning to relax with all the time she has spent in Ul'dah and Limsa.  
  
 +
'''Nature:''' Madison can be regarded as a refined Lady only as far as her patience happens to extend. With a drop in the cadence of her voice or a twitch of her eye she can seemingly shift gears in a moment, becoming quite commanding or demanding depending on what she feels the situation calls for. She always has her intents set firmly in the greater good, even if it may come off naive to those around her.
  
 +
'''Religion:''' Madison is firmly pious, believing wholeheartidly in the goodness of the Twelve and the blessings they provide. In her mind, she owes them almost everything, right down to the magicks she wields and the aether she borrows from the heavens due to the nature of her Art. It's these thoughts in her mind as she casts, every spell beseeching them for their unique strengths to see her to her goals.

'''Common Appearance:''' Madison seems to fluctuate in her styles, soem days choosing to be seen in pants and boots and others in sandals and skirts. It doesnt take long to realize that her wardrobe is extensive. She wears light makeup, opting for a shade of pink on her lips and a nude eyeshadow. Her hair is often worn down but she will occasionally be seen with it tied back. Her hair is always long.

'''Scars & Markings:''' Madison seems to lack any overly noticable outward scars and she seems intent on keeping it that way. Her upbringing was very peaceful, the woman never seeing much combat until her days with the Pathfinders. Any wounds inflicted she will aetherically heal herself or have Himeko use her Astrology to heal as to ensure the lack or at least very dim scarring.

Madison's first and foremost strength is her aetheric prowess. She's never brought it up in conversation, but the more aetherically sensative may be able to tell that she boasts of pool of immense proportions. She is a learned Sharlayan Astrologian, having been tutored in the art from a young age. The spells she casts are practiced and proficent, seeming to be able to reverse the infliction of wounds in the way only an Astrologian can. She never much cared for the more offensive side of her art, yet since joining the Pathfinders she's had no choice but to bring these spells into play.

While she possesses the aetheric capability to branch into other magics, she seems focused on becoming the best Astrologian she can. She is unskilled in other magics, only able to lend assistance to other members Thaumiturgical casting by virtue of her large aetheric reserves.

: Madison is meekly framed and thus appears delicate. She was raised as a lady by her family and tends to carry herself as such except when in familiar company. She is a strawberry blonde with green eyes. She bears no scars or tokens from combat because she's never had to raise a hand against anyone or in defense. She is told she's beautiful but a lifetime of being treated as a secondary option or waved off like a fly leaves her utterly unaware and unsure of this. She prefers not to dwell on it and focuses on other aspects of her personality if the topic of physical form is brought up in conversation.
+
Madison's aetherical skill is met with an equally strong physical weakness. Years of tutulage and practice honing her magic has left her rather meekly framed. She was never taught or trained any forms of physical self defense and finds herself at a terrible disadvantage should an opponent manage to move in on her in close quarters. She is stubborn as well, oft times refusing offers to train her in an art of physical self defense. Deep down, she truly, perhaps foolheartidly, believes her Astrology to be the mastery of all techniques.  
  
−
: Madison has not the experience to say she understands true hardship, but she has traveled enough and seen enough of the Calamity's after effects to be sensitive to people's plights. She can sometimes be naive, always wanting to assume the best in people and will usually grant a benefit of the doubt before her trust is broken. Once it is done, however, she will put you through torment to earn it back. She understands poverty, hunger and loss from a very "academic" perspective and thusly tries to analyze people's behaviors to explain why they may act certain ways. For instance, she will attempt to rationalize with -why- a thief stole from her and discuss it rather then automatically resorting to anger or violence.
+
Very few may know that certain types of Thaumaturgy are toxic to her. She's been known to react very poorly to their casting, the effects on her being very physically gruesome.  
  
−
: She never had a difficult time making friends but she could sometimes be withdrawn. A bit of an introvert, she can come across melancholy, especially when upset or angered. If her temper is roused then a bit of groveling or an apology is usually required to get back into her good graces. The girl can hold a grudge and it's not one of her more attractive qualities. Madison can also be prone to spouts of jealously. She can be possessive and result to passive aggressiveness should the situation escalate. Due to her experience and age, Madison can sometimes handle situations poorly. She is not vindictive and never means any real harm but her words can still damage more than she knows. She has a temper and try as she might it can oft flare depending on the situation. She will make an attempt to excuse herself to calm down but if her escape path is blocked than she can become physical.

: Madison is aware that she is very lucky in her circumstances and as a result does not shine attention on it. She will often shy away from personal subjects about her background unless she feels she can trust whomever she speaking to. It's been her general experience that once someone knows her background they stop listening to her when she talks. Nothing will upset and infuriate her more quickly than insults being lodged her way over her upbringing. While she can normally deflect these fairly well from strangers, when they come from someone close they cut her deep.
+
Among the spells she favors are Aetherical Shields and Benefic spells for defense and healing. Offensively, she will attempt to pin an opponent with Gravity spells. If forced to actually strike then she will attack with Malefic blasts of unaspected aether, occasionally drawing upon the elements of her cards to imbue her spells with specific attributes.
  
−
: Madison was recruited into the Pathfinders as a non-combatant, however, her studies as an astrologian didn't leave her with a lack of being able to defend herself. She was taught offensive and defensive combat patterns and maneuvers with an array of offensive spells at her disposal. However, Madison is an objector - reluctant to fight offensively unless truly provoked and forced to defend herself or others she cares for. If someone she loved were endangered she would draw a weapon...and hate herself for it later.

It was his foremost concern to use these skills to provide for his wife and his daughter when they realized that Madeline's profession would be wholly unwelcome in Ishgard. When not working and when he's allowed to let his hair down he can be a bit of a prankster, playing tricks on his wife and daughter in good nature.

He was the foremost proponent of Madison's early years being taught music and the ways of being an Ishgardian Lady. It was his hopes that with these she'd be able to find a suitable husband and want for nothing. He should have known after so many years being married to Madeline that fate had different ideas.</div>

| <div style="font-size:12px; font-family:Georgia"> Madison's mother is an accomplished Sharlayan Astrologian and also Madison's mentor. Currently unknown to Madison, her mother had graduated with top honors from the Old World, holding commendations from various scholisticates and astrolocums. It would seem her mother has a bit of a history to hide, her father never speaking of any of it and Madeline never discussing the subject. What could drive a Sharlayan couple to take up residence in Ishgard anyhow..?
  
−
:: As a child, Madison was lucky to have parents who held valuable education and trade skills. As a result, there was sufficient money for her to receive a proper education. Born under the sign of the Spinner, she began to show signs from an early age that she had inherited her mother's talents for Astrology and seeing into the wheels of fate. However, the traditional Sharlayan version of Astrology was akin to heresy in her younger years and Madison began learning the Ishgardian version. However, he mother did her best to guide her along the path and teach her the "proper" way of the craft.
+
You'd never think any of this to speak to the woman though. She is bright eyed, always wearing a smile with a twinkle that makes you think that she always knows more than she's letting on. She has a tendancy to sometimes speak in what could be considered riddles, as if she might be referring to something else entirely.  
  
−
:: The girl had to be exceedingly careful about not revealing this to anyone as it could have had her whole family executed. During the period she grew up, the inquisitors were fervent - yet to be revealed for the Zealots and Dravanians they were. Even those of the High Houses were not safe from accusation or wrath. There were days when someone she knew just wouldn't be at the observatory anymore. They'd been forced to jump to their death at Witchdrop in Coetheras.

Madison remembers her mother being displeased with the prospect of keeping her Art hidden whilst simotaniously pushing for their move to Ishgard. She's always been a strong force behind Madison, encouraging her daughter to do what she felt made sense for herself despite the urgings around her.<br>[[File:Madismother.png|thumbnail]]</div>

| <div style="font-size:12px; font-family:Georgia"> Despite growing up in Ishgard, where manservants are common, Madison often wonders how the elderly Elezen puts up with Reinhold. Then she remembers she's putting up with him as well and then she smiles. She thinks well of him, but knows that he has a big mouth and sometimes censoring herself when discussing sensative material around him. Despite all that, she cares for his well being, hating to see a man of his age working as hard as he does.</div>

:: The second part of her education was intended to facilitate her marriage to a highborn gentleman. Madison is classically trained in music and adept at the art. Among her fluent instruments are the violin, cello, harp, harpsichord, piano and her voice. Her parents disallowed horns or percussion instruments, however, as these were deemed too masculine.

:: As she grew, it was highly encouraged that she grow into a proper lady and she made this her focus as much as her studies in her early years. She would often see the women in the Pillars walk about in fine dress and furs and emulate them - wanting to be just like them. However, one painful truth eluded her at her tender age. The majority of them were Elezen.

:: The fact that she was descended from Hyuran immigrants would become a major factor in her adolescence. Try as she might, none of the efforts she ever made were good enough and she constantly felt like an outsider in a society that subtly did not want her. The way she bloomed with age only made matters worse. Through showcasing her musical talents and her outward features she did occasionally catch the eye of gentleman that would have made well and proper matches. She took a shine to one particular gentleman only to have him crush her with the proposition of him making her his mistress while he searched for an Elezen wife. Madison's spirit in her society and what she'd been trained to be broke after that. She ceased going to the social events and gatherings her parents insisted she did. She holed herself up in her room with her Astronomy and her music.

:: Once the Dravanians reared their head again and Ishgard opened the gates to seek help from outsiders, Madison saw a chance for her to escape and see things she'd only dreamed of before. Her parents, while loving, were reluctant to the idea but in the end they gave her some gil and watched as she packed her bags and left home, eager to see the world abroad.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Eddard Holt]] - Madison was never able to hide how she felt about Eddard, even when they'd first met. Where most people see a bristly, growly man prone to irritation, Madison maintains she always saw a glimmer of something else. He initially rejected her affections, prompting the girl to moving on and into a relationship that would lead to her engagement and hiatus from the company as she decended into dangerous circumstances. Throughout the ordeal, her relationship with Eddard grew stronger, not weaker, and eventually she found herself unable to keep anything from the man. After months of ups and downs, upon Madison's return to the company, the two's affections ignited into something neither had the desire to hide or deny anymore. They're currently happily together with Madison developing strong protective tendencies over him due to the hostilities with Eorzea Unexplored and her own negative past experiences.

The three have been in an arguement ever since about Shay's insistance regarding the battles he claims to have been in. Madison did her best to remain impartial on the subject, not siding one way or another but the situation heated until it broke out in violence one evening. After that Shay revealed things to her that caused her to question the man's sanity and she distanced herself. She still cares for Shay and worries for him, wondering where he got off to after they parted ways. His absence was not lost on her.

The fact that she was descended from Hyuran immigrants would become a major factor in her adolescence. Try as she might, none of the efforts she ever made were good enough and she constantly felt like an outsider in a society that subtly did not want her. The way she bloomed with age only made matters worse. Through showcasing her musical talents and her outward features she did occasionally catch the eye of gentleman that would have made well and proper matches. She took a shine to one particular gentleman only to have him crush her with the proposition of him making her his mistress while he searched for an Elezen wife. Madison's spirit in her society and what she'd been trained to be broke after that. She ceased going to the social events and gatherings her parents insisted she did. She holed herself up in her room with her Astronomy and her music.

She crossed paths with him and Forgotten Treant at the same time in Ul'dah. The way he spoke and carried himself drew her to him instantly, like a moth to a flame. It took all the courage the girl had to spark conversation with him. A conversation that he was, to her surprise, very willing to have. The days after they met were wrought with strife, with the two seldom having a moment alone due to Ausaux's business engagements. However, as time went on the initial spark between them grew into something far more. The two found themselves engaged for a brief time until another one of Ausaux's business trips took him away. As weeks went by without contact Madison began to fear for the worst...until an assassin claiming to represent House Grimand appeared one night in her quarters. With the assistance of Eddard and Shay, Madison killed the man herself but his final words will always remain with her. She chooses to avoid speaking of Ausaux; a mixture of confusion, betrayal and anger evident on her face.

Madison is the daughter of Sharlayan refugees who fled to Ishgard when the research colony collapsed 20 years ago. Her parents, being academically and aetherically gifted, were able to make a decent living for themselves in the notoriously socially unaccepting landscape of Ishgard. She'd grow up in The Foundation but despite their middle class status, Madison would always find difficulties stemming from being born Hyuran. A recent arrival to the lower city states, Madison joined the Pathfinders as her first real employment. She works as a musician and performer in Neverfar's tavern.


Appearance & Personality

Appearance & Personality

Nature & Demeanor

Nature & Demeanor

Demeanor: Madison was raised in Ishgard, brought up to be a Lady as her family worked tirelessly to fit into their surroundings to avoid any suspicion or detection from the Holy See. Her manner of speaking and way she carries herself is refined, yet has been beginning to relax with all the time she has spent in Ul'dah and Limsa.

Nature: Madison can be regarded as a refined Lady only as far as her patience happens to extend. With a drop in the cadence of her voice or a twitch of her eye she can seemingly shift gears in a moment, becoming quite commanding or demanding depending on what she feels the situation calls for. She always has her intents set firmly in the greater good, even if it may come off naive to those around her.

Religion: Madison is firmly pious, believing wholeheartidly in the goodness of the Twelve and the blessings they provide. In her mind, she owes them almost everything, right down to the magicks she wields and the aether she borrows from the heavens due to the nature of her Art. It's these thoughts in her mind as she casts, every spell beseeching them for their unique strengths to see her to her goals.

Notable Features

Notable Features

Common Appearance: Madison seems to fluctuate in her styles, soem days choosing to be seen in pants and boots and others in sandals and skirts. It doesnt take long to realize that her wardrobe is extensive. She wears light makeup, opting for a shade of pink on her lips and a nude eyeshadow. Her hair is often worn down but she will occasionally be seen with it tied back. Her hair is always long.

Scars & Markings: Madison seems to lack any overly noticable outward scars and she seems intent on keeping it that way. Her upbringing was very peaceful, the woman never seeing much combat until her days with the Pathfinders. Any wounds inflicted she will aetherically heal herself or have Himeko use her Astrology to heal as to ensure the lack or at least very dim scarring.

Voice: Madison speaks with an Ishgardian accent, furthering the impression of her proper upbringing. Her accent has been known to thicken when she becomes emotional or angered. Voiceclaim here.

Clothing: All of the clothing. Madison can seem to be a bit spoiled in this department. She is fastedious in her appearance, sometimes causing her to be a hinderance on outdoor excursions.

Abilities

Strengths

Strengths

Madison's first and foremost strength is her aetheric prowess. She's never brought it up in conversation, but the more aetherically sensative may be able to tell that she boasts of pool of immense proportions. She is a learned Sharlayan Astrologian, having been tutored in the art from a young age. The spells she casts are practiced and proficent, seeming to be able to reverse the infliction of wounds in the way only an Astrologian can. She never much cared for the more offensive side of her art, yet since joining the Pathfinders she's had no choice but to bring these spells into play.

While she possesses the aetheric capability to branch into other magics, she seems focused on becoming the best Astrologian she can. She is unskilled in other magics, only able to lend assistance to other members Thaumiturgical casting by virtue of her large aetheric reserves.

Weaknesses

Weaknesses

Madison's aetherical skill is met with an equally strong physical weakness. Years of tutulage and practice honing her magic has left her rather meekly framed. She was never taught or trained any forms of physical self defense and finds herself at a terrible disadvantage should an opponent manage to move in on her in close quarters. She is stubborn as well, oft times refusing offers to train her in an art of physical self defense. Deep down, she truly, perhaps foolheartidly, believes her Astrology to be the mastery of all techniques.

Very few may know that certain types of Thaumaturgy are toxic to her. She's been known to react very poorly to their casting, the effects on her being very physically gruesome.

Combat

Combat

Among the spells she favors are Aetherical Shields and Benefic spells for defense and healing. Offensively, she will attempt to pin an opponent with Gravity spells. If forced to actually strike then she will attack with Malefic blasts of unaspected aether, occasionally drawing upon the elements of her cards to imbue her spells with specific attributes.

Relations (NPC)

Relations (NPC)
Name (♥) - Liam Brookstone
Madison's father truly has a bit of a quirky personality. He can be a serious man when focused intently on his mastery of alchemy and his successful business. It was his foremost concern to use these skills to provide for his wife and his daughter when they realized that Madeline's profession would be wholly unwelcome in Ishgard. When not working and when he's allowed to let his hair down he can be a bit of a prankster, playing tricks on his wife and daughter in good nature. He loves his daughter dearly, his want for the best for her sometimes pushing Madsion in directions she feels might not fit her. He was the foremost proponent of Madison's early years being taught music and the ways of being an Ishgardian Lady. It was his hopes that with these she'd be able to find a suitable husband and want for nothing. He should have known after so many years being married to Madeline that fate had different ideas.
Name (♥) - Emilie Allemand
Madison's mother is an accomplished Sharlayan Astrologian and also Madison's mentor. Currently unknown to Madison, her mother had graduated with top honors from the Old World, holding commendations from various scholisticates and astrolocums. It would seem her mother has a bit of a history to hide, her father never speaking of any of it and Madeline never discussing the subject. What could drive a Sharlayan couple to take up residence in Ishgard anyhow..?

You'd never think any of this to speak to the woman though. She is bright eyed, always wearing a smile with a twinkle that makes you think that she always knows more than she's letting on. She has a tendancy to sometimes speak in what could be considered riddles, as if she might be referring to something else entirely.

Madison remembers her mother being displeased with the prospect of keeping her Art hidden whilst simotaniously pushing for their move to Ishgard. She's always been a strong force behind Madison, encouraging her daughter to do what she felt made sense for herself despite the urgings around her.

Name (●) - Ebraux Pidame
Despite growing up in Ishgard, where manservants are common, Madison often wonders how the elderly Elezen puts up with Reinhold. Then she remembers she's putting up with him as well and then she smiles. She thinks well of him, but knows that he has a big mouth and sometimes censoring herself when discussing sensative material around him. Despite all that, she cares for his well being, hating to see a man of his age working as hard as he does.

History
This Section is a WIP


As a child, Madison was lucky to have parents who held valuable education and trade skills. As a result, there was sufficient money for her to receive a proper education. Born under the sign of the Spinner, she began to show signs from an early age that she had inherited her mother's talents for Astrology and seeing into the wheels of fate. However, the traditional Sharlayan version of Astrology was akin to heresy in her younger years and Madison began learning the Ishgardian version. However, he mother did her best to guide her along the path and teach her the "proper" way of the craft.

The girl had to be exceedingly careful about not revealing this to anyone as it could have had her whole family executed.

There were days when someone she knew just wouldn't be at the observatory anymore. They'd been forced to jump to their death at Witchdrop in Coetheras.

The second part of her education was intended to facilitate her marriage to a highborn gentleman. Madison is classically trained in music and adept at the art.

Try as she might, none of the efforts she ever made were good enough and she constantly felt like an outsider in a society that subtly did not want her. The way she bloomed with age only made matters worse. Through showcasing her musical talents and her outward features she did occasionally catch the eye of gentleman that would have made well and proper matches. She took a shine to one particular gentleman only to have him crush her with the proposition of him making her his mistress while he searched for an Elezen wife. Madison's spirit in her society and what she'd been trained to be broke after that. She ceased going to the social events and gatherings her parents insisted she did. She holed herself up in her room with her Astronomy and her music.

Once the Dravanians reared their head again and Ishgard opened the gates to seek help from outsiders, Madison saw a chance for her to escape and see things she'd only dreamed of before. Her parents, while loving, were reluctant to the idea but in the end they gave her some gil and watched as she packed her bags and left home, eager to see the world abroad.

I created Madison to be a very "normal" character and while I do not shy away from placing her in extraordinary circumstances, Madison herself was never intended to be exceptionally powerful or remarkable. As of this time, she will always just be a woman. The character has, however, grown very much beyond what I originally intended. Her aetheric abilities are currently growing and expanding. Mature themes in RP is fine and keeps it interesting. I have no issues with violence, sexuality, drug use, crime, etc. If I trust the people involved I will roleplay out almost anything - even things I usually limit out. Approach me with your idea and I'll likely be on board. However, please ask before your characters perform any actions that will affect my character or a physical or emotional level. I reserve the right to ignore actions that will cause affects to my character that I do not want to roleplay. I.E. Disfigurement, Kidnapping, Sexual Assault, Death. Please be aware that Madison's actions or feelings do not reflect on you as a person. I appreciate IC/OOC separation. I am very very strict about the lore and adhere to it and will not engage in lorebendy plots with strangers.
