General Information Isaac currently serves as the Captain of the martial branch for the Free Company the Verdant Enclave, an alchemical and magical research group based out of the Shroud and led by Lihli Nherusa. With a background in military service for Ala Mhigo and a strong desire to help the two work together in their respective roles to have the Enclave serve both as a business and as a charitable organization that answers the pleas of people in need of help. Duties at the Enclave keep him busy with both training and coordinating the newly hired Wardens to ensure their safety and effectiveness in the field. Working with more veteran members and focusing on family over strict military practices, Isaac believes that the bonds of friendship will ensure people do what's right. Unfortunate for the eternally busy man he also serves as a logistic coordinator and supplier for the Enclave, and often travels to other City-States to conduct trade deals or check on product: tasks that keep him from ever sitting idle for too long which is something Isaac will not voice complaint about. ❝ What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh. ❞ Appearance Initial Impression At first glance Isaac is an imposing figure typical for most Ala Mhigan men. Broad, well muscled, and with a clear background that puts his physique to work and it's topped off with a natural look on his face that is far from inviting. This belies the truth of his jovial nature, and the man finds it easy to smile. Slipping easily into a grin at any given moment that rests perfectly on his face, Isaac comes across as larger than life at times with exaggerated movements and excitement coming through in clear physicality. Breaking up the landscape of tan and brown that makes up his frame are the sharp teal eyes that sport an intense look when turned onto any individual, and a dusting of stone brown hair atop his head offers a contrast for his naturally tan skin. Coupled with the lingering scars across his face that are clear marks of at least one dangerous moment in his life with the sharper lines of his face, Isaac presents a cut figure that can easily command attention. Presentation & Attire While Isaac can have silly moments and act in an exaggerated manner the man prefers professional presentation. In business and work settings that are away from casual encounters he is nothing but a reserved and stoic presentation. This is where his physique shines as the well tailored outfits he prefers give him a presence to be respected and considered. The man leverages this aggressively when it comes to conducting trade deals and negotiation, and is unrelenting in the way he projects himself as a dominating force. Personality Mentality Isaac has been party to both tragic moments in history and his own personal suffering and this has left him with a hardened mindset when it comes to making himself vulnerable. This is not to say the man is made of stone or cold hearted, quite the opposite, but Isaac is protective of himself and those he deigns worth his investment. Isaac also firmly believes in being the best a person can be, pushing others to continue to better themselves and always attempting to serve as a positive force in the lives of those he encounters. By training and creating a safe place for people to recovery from their own hardships through the services of the Enclave Isaac feels he is actualizing the driving principles behind his mentality. Voice Isaac speaks with a baritone that has presence and smoothness behind his speech. Current Voice Actor that represents him: Troy Baker as Yuri from Tales of Vesperia (Recommended to me by Lihli Nherusa!)

History Gyr Abania Early Years Isaac lived with his family in the surrounding area of Gyr Abania, hunting and fighting with his tribe and surviving the unforgiving terrain of his homeland with the tenacity befitting any Ala Mhigan native. As he grew older the man wanted for more, and tales of Ala Mhigos past glory was ever present on his mind. With the idea that his future lay in the city at the heart of his homeland he could only bide his time until he was old enough to steal away to the city and enlist in the royal guard. Ala Mhigo Recent History Accepted into the Royal Army and serving diligently, Isaac unquestioning fought for home and glory on the fields of battle wherever he was directed. It was here the man gained much of his experience and training in both the aetheric arts and martial combat. Narrowly avoiding being deployed for the Autumn War, Isaac instead remained at the border threatened by encroaching Empire forces. Cutting his teeth and honing his skill in skirmishes across the line that kept Ala Mhigo safe, eventually the downfall of the Ruin King and invasion of Garlemald saw the Ala Mhigan man go dark for several years before turning up in Eorzea. Just what happened in that time? Current Day Surviving turned into luck as Isaac met Lihli Nherusa at the inception of her alchemy company, The Verdant Enclave. Lost and without a purpose, and unwilling to submit to the suffering that his people endured in Ul'dah, Isaac committed himself to his friendship with Lihli and the vision she had for the Enclave. Through unrelenting dedication and unwavering devotion the pair have grown from their humble beginnings to lead a successful business and charity. Serving as the head of security, acquisitions and logistics Isaac ranks as the Captain of the Wardens within the Enclave.

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. Character Lore Adherence Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. Anything that has had to be changed because of lore shifting will be noted below. ■ No changes. Character Concept This character was inspired from a few sources. Sin-eater concepts like Wolverine helped to create the base while Isaac's fighting style with a blade is reminiscent of Wrath/Pride from Full Metal Alchemist. The goal with this character is to create a foil for many with a kind-hearted but stern individual, who can almost be seen as fatherly or sage-like. I could list off dozens of different influences but I hope that after seeing the effort I've put into this Wiki and his idea you'll be interested in getting to know him. Thank you!
