Alaister Vaillant

Work in progress!

[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION Alaister de Vaillant is the bastard- and only- child of Baron Alain de Vaillant. Born of a private love between the Baron and his assistant, Alaister received a noble upbringing and a knight’s training; tempered by the discrimination he faced from the more traditionalist and purist noble houses. Fortunately, House Vaillant are mid-tier nobility bound in service to House Haillenarte, and thusly no strangers to the foul rumours and conspiratorial whispers that plague the Pillars. He joined the knightly Order of the Silverwing during the Dragonsong War, where he also earned his knighthood for exemplary service. Sadly, near a decade later Alaister finds himself the order’s sole surviving member; its knights having waned over time due to losses incurred from their active role in the war. Unknown to most however is how he came upon the soul of the paladin, which he had in his possession upon his return to Ishgard once the truce with Hraesvelgr’s brood came into effect. A couple of months after his return to Ishgard, something happened involving a collision between House Vaillant and their long time allies, House Vieron that saw Alaister exiled from Ishgard. The exact events are unknown and rumours are surely abound, but what is known is that a year later the exile was lifted after Alaister returned with proof that the Baron de Vieron has his hand in several conspiracies. As a result, Alaister challenged the Baron to a trial by combat, where he would either die a traitor or slay the Baron and see his exile lifted. Despite his victory in the bout and death of the Baron, rumours and whispers still follow Alaister everywhere. But for now, he’s taken to making himself a stalwart supporter of the new parliament, the corruption of the Holy See being seen by him as a contributing factor to his exile. In the process, he’s begun considering the prospect of rebuilding the Silverwing Knights. APPEARANCE Alaister cuts a rather striking figure with his storm blue eyes and snow white hair, traits inherited from his mother and father respectively alongside the fair skin shared by both. His sharp jaw, high cheekbones and slightly pointed chin could only possibly come from his elezen heritage and works to create a handsome visage marred only by the scar across his cheek. Being a tall- particularly for a midlander- with a slim, athletic build, Alaister certainly looks the part of a knight. The definition in his muscle could only come from years of combat, as could the many pale, long healed scars that dot his body. Typically Alaister wears formal or militaristic attire in his house colours of blue and white, and normally carries his longsword even with more casual clothes. Often the crest of the Silverwing Knights can also be seen on his person, displaying a rearing silver pegasus on a black and white chequered shield. His hair is kept at roughly the same neck length, combed and groomed to stay out of his face. Meanwhile, his facial hair is kept shaved except for a small scruff at the end of his chin. Cleanliness and presentation are clearly both things he considers important, which can be noted in the fact he routinely has a faint scent of fresh berries about him. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Pointed ears - He tries to hide them with his hair, but his mixed heritage is easy to see. ■ Cheek scar - A prominent scar on his right cheek that displays the toils of war. ■ Kind eyes - Alaister's eyes carry a deep warmth and kindness behind their hardness.

Artwork Screenshots ಌ OOC NOTES ಌ OOC INFORMATION Player Note Hey! Thanks for visiting my page, I'm always open to RPing with anyone really and am actively looking to expand the number of friends and acquaintances Alaister has. Walks ups and whispers are always welcome, so drop me a message if you'd like to do something with our characters. I'm especially looking for fellow Ishgardians for Alaister to have a history with, or just to encounter and get to know! Hope to see you in-game. Personal RP Limits I'm really not shy about anything when it comes to roleplay, so there's really no point putting an 'I will play'! Instead I'll just list a few things that I won't do without a good plot to go with it! Though character death will always be a no go unless I decide I'd like to retire the character. ■ I won't play: ERP, permanent maiming, death. Disclaimer Little Tidbits. ■ I like trains? CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks Still figuring it out. ■ Coming soon. ■ Coming soon. ■ Coming soon. Character Lore Adherence I try to keep to the lore where possible, but I'm perfectly happy to bend it considerably. After all, the world created for the game is a fairly crazy one which leaves room for a lot of equally crazy things to happen. That said, I'll always stick to what is considered solid fact. For example; House Vaillant will always be mid-tier nobility subservient to House Haillenarte because the position of the four high houses is set in stone.
