Chaotic Good General Information . ❝ Quote. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Crimson Red White Tanned Lithe Soft&Elegant Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Strong&Relaxed Ambidextrous Many Small Tattoo on wrist Elegant&Refined. Hair & Eyes Soft and white as fresh snow, he's grateful he doesn't need to do much to keep his hair well-maintained. While he personally does not have any inclination towards styling his hair in a special manner, he does enjoy keeping it long if only because cutting it is a hassle. His hair was once a darker shade- nearly black but due to shock at hearing his former lover had been murdered by his vengeful wife- turned it white with shock overnight. Currently his hair has been cut haphazardly, and short. His eyes are a brilliant red and thoughtful- though there is a certain weariness that can be seen in them. Physique & Markings Strong and lithe- the Duke retains the physique of being a Dragoon though he has long since retired. His body however bears the many scars of his repeated attempts at death. There is hardly a piece of skin on his body that has not been marred in some manner by his attempts- resulting in a heavily scarred body that he tends to keep covered as much as possible with his clothing though he's not particularly shy about his appearance- he simply does not wish to cause disgust in others at the sight of it. His hands in particular are scarred, and sensitive- and these he nearly always keeps covered no matter the circumstance. After a recent encounter with his revived wife- Antoinette- he returned with an even more mangled body. His right eye had been stabbed- resulting in his need to wear an eyepatch until it's determined how well his curse has managed to heal the damage. As well new stab wounds he received as 'punishment'- Antoinette also hastily and crudely carved an extravagant letter 'A' in his chest- to serve as a warning to his current lover. Hygiene & Attire Always well-kept and maintained, the Duke makes sure to have exceptional hygiene due partially to his noble upbringing but also due to his propensity to be mortally injured often and not wishing to disrupt others by smelling of blood and otherwise unpleasant odors that may come from his attempts at death. He often smells of cinnamon and chocolate thanks to his constant baking of treats for his family, though someone with a discerning nose maybe be able detect a hint of blood and just... something a bit off due to his curse though it's not overly offensive and usually well masked. His attire likewise is always well-maintained and he prefers an elegant, refined look. Tight, yet easy to move in. Typically he prefers for intricate and extravagant looks though he has recently toned things down to give off a more typical "family man" look. He does however own an extensive amount of clothing due to his immortality and age- he always tries to keep up with the latest fashions and trends so as not to appear a total weirdo wearing outdated clothing, and he refuses to get rid of anything in the off chance it comes back into style. Personality Psychological Profile The Duke, despite coming across to most as a well put together man who simply loves making friends- is actually always balancing on the line between sanity and insanity. Beneath his friendly exterior lies a world of issues stemming from his immortal life, even without going into the problems that arose from his heavily abusive marriage prior to being cursed. He's prone to suicidal urges, and if he's pushed too hard, he's likely to leave society until he can get himself and his urges under control which often means trying to find any way possible that he might finally find his peace and his death. Having loved and lost many over the course of his some thousand year odd life, he has a tendency to become nervous and distraught when he finds himself in a relationship, fearing the eventuality of his loved one's death, once more leaving him alone once more. His children's death in particular is a scar that has never been able to heal and for many centuries he refused to have any children of his own- though it was not that hard considering his preference for male partners. It's only been recently, in his relationship with Dracyn Navarre who had twins from his prior marriage, that the Duke has taken steps in overcoming his fears and the damage on his psyche to be the father (that he truly enjoys being) towards Josette and Westley. While he is open about most of his issues, as a way to explain to those who may grow close to him his tendency to be distant when a friendship grows, he often attempts to brush off his issues as not that serious, and tries to remain light-hearted so as not to upset others. Very few ever see him in the depths of his insanity, as he's deeply ashamed of how he acts when he is despairing. Voice His voice is soft, though slightly gravelly due to injuries to his throat. He tends to still retain a bit of an elegant accent, that comes from his Ishgardian upbringing. While most would assume it's a modern day Ishgardian accent- someone who studies accents and language would likely pick up it's an older accent, that differs slightly from then most typical Ishgardians. It's faded over the centuries he's been alive, but there are still tinges of it left. Philosophy & Mannerisms .

He can be injured, and due to the nature of his curse he cannot be healed as readily as others- curative spells and normal potions do not work on him. He can be injured to the point where he needs to retreat, though admittedly his pain tolerance is pretty high and he can keep fighting, but he's smart enough to know when enough is enough.

RP Info Location & Probability Places where the character is very likely to be seen ■ Limsa Lominsa: High- he lives in the Mists with his partner, Dracyn Navarre and has a small restaurant nearby as well. ■ Ishgard: Unlikely - While he has visited Ishgard more often in recent times, much of it is for business and he keeps a low profile so as to avoid any unwanted attention. Affiliations Most of these aren’t public, and would have to be asked after! ■ City-State, Region or Organization: Affiliation reason/purpose. IC Inventory The following items are things that this individual carries on their person at all times. These are noted for pickpockets, and those watching him closely. This information is meant to be a prompt for insight and is not to be meta-gamed, though feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in RP (pickpocketing, a search, etc) with use of a simple /tell. ■ Coinpurse: A simple coin purse made of soft leather emrboidered with the letter L, containing gil and a few trinkets. ■ Notecard: A small rectangular card that reads "If found dead- please contact Dracyn Navarre in Limsa Lominsa Immediately." ■ Wedding Ring: Typically always worn, unless he is cooking or in a situation it might get lost, in which case he puts it carefully into a pocket on his person. 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 . Mature or dark themes are almost a given considering Duke's character and past. I'm perfectly fine with playing darker themes and because Duke is immortal- I am fine with serious injuries inflicted and even death under the condition you know that he will not stay dead for long. He can be beaten in a fight, and severely injured and even killed for a bit- but he is immortal. ■ Ask about . Established connections or friendships. As an immortal who's wandered a LONG time, it's usually quite easy to have pre-established friendships or business connections. If you've an idea for how your character and Duke may have met, let me know so I can make sure it makes sense. :) ■ I won't play . Romantic prospects. Duke is happily married, and not looking for any romantic partners. RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. ■ List item.

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.
