He is the twin brother to Arc Beauregard and adopted son to the late Gwenneg Beauregard, a traveling Wildwood Elezen merchant, of which Alus' surname is derived. He and his brother owe their allegiance to the Grand Company Maelstrom, of which they've received well renown in the extended military program. Physical Description Appearance Clothing Alus' fondness of childish fairy tales has inspired a look one might compare to a dancer playing a "Prince Charming" in a play. His preference for light, thin, white clothing also aids him in his preferred adventuring region of the desert Thanalan. Additionally, while outside during a sunny daytime or light rain storm, Alus will very often wear a Coronal Straw Hat to avoid facial sunburning or wet hair. His off-duty clothing could be described to like formal pajamas; casual with a high similarity to under-garments with thin and soft fabric, but also very discreet, modest, and suit-like, though still very flashy in color; he certainly stands out in the average crowd. During his more serious adventuring bells, Alus wears very different equipment; a full suit of heavy white tanking armor. He holds the image of "A White Knight in Shining Armor" very highly, but large shock impact always comes first; Something bright, shiny, and bulky is what he prefers to equip himself with. Physical With an excellent posture (and subtle aid of heels), Alus stands taller than most of his Miqo'te brethren at 5 Fulm and 9 Ilm (5'9"/175cm). Like his twin, Alus has complete heterochromia of a yellow left eye and reddish-purple right eye, and shares the same outer-cheek tattoos with a minor made-up color variation. And like Arc, Alus likes a little extra facial decoration-- But instead of tribal tattoos, he prefers a colorful and soft-looking makeup. Despite his obvious obsession with a clean and beautiful image, Alus' long golden hair is not unfamiliar to it's large share of split ends, his clothes and skin also often covered in sand. Regardless of his dirty adventuring life, Alus will rarely ever tie his hair up in fear it will change his 'Prince Charming' image too much. Alus is still noticeably more well-groomed than the average adventurer, however. Although Alus' face has nearly nonexistent evidence of scarring or bruises, his body is another story. Alus often feels uncomfortable wearing clothing that reveal a lot of skin not only modesty's sake, but for self-consciousness of his large bruises and scars. Voice Alus' voice is very deep, loud, and clear, but often cracks when he is not on his guard (e.g. laughing). When speaking in a more quiet or relaxed state, Alus' voice is very soft, reassuring and sweet-sounding. In most situations he speaks in an elegant and polite manner, reminiscent of his Elezen "heritage". With friends, he may speak in a very casual and silly way, whilst when his brother is doing something he disapproves of, his voice will become baritone and stone cold, devoid of any elegance or comedy.

Personality

Personality

Alus' personality could be described first and foremost as friendly and approachable, despite still being somewhat introverted and distant. He has a strong sense of justice and loyalty to common legal laws and traditional morals. On the outside he appears as the eternal optimist-- Even his enemies he wishes no true ill-will towards, and believes that anyone has the ability to be a better person, and that anyone absolutely deserve a second chance. However, Alus' thoughts on pacifism are often melancholy and somewhat pessimistic; He wishes that the life he leads could exist without any bloodshed, lamenting over his current path in life with the military Maelstrom. With the help of his brother he often manages to once again convince himself that bloodshed is necessary for an overall greater peace, but his heart wavers on the matter of pacifism quite often. It is difficult for him to accept that death is just how the world works. Overall, Alus seems to be less and less willing to kill as the moons pass, guiltily procrastinating with common hobbies.

Alus is certainly not one to never get angry or impatient with others, but his outlook on negative social situations always end up the same after some contemplation; The past cannot be helped. Knowing what he knows now, he will work to better work around these peoples' difficult personalities to bring the best out of them next time.

He has an unwavering platonic love for all in the world (besides slugs), and believes that love allows everything and everyone to be perceived as beautiful in their own way.

Alus is not completely blindly optimistic, however. He has the ability to detect a trap or a lie from an acquaintance as easily as anybody else, but simply chooses to let the liar act out their plans fully before stopping it, making sure he never punishes a suspicious person who is actually truthful. This can get Alus in a lot of trouble, but he accepts it as his sworn duty, and insists he truly does not mind this way of life.

Religious Beliefs

Alus is a very religious person when it comes to Nald and Thal, and shows little or no interest to the other 11 dieties of The Twelve. For several moons Alus trained under the teachings of Thal's funeral preparation in memory of his fallen friends in war. Although Alus feels less associated with Nald than he does with Thal, he feels he is blessed by both halfs. As of late, Alus has been spotted praying at statues of Nald or Thal nearly every sun.

Commonly Known History

Childhood

Alus and Arc were constantly accompanied by the travelling merchant Gwenneg Beauregard, who named him as his children. Outsiders viewed the family's relationship as close and happy, though still sometimes felt badly for Gwenneg's sole responsibility over two rowdy kids. Gwenneg never once complained; he was a man who smiled big and brightly nearly all of the time, he had a corny sense of humor and passion for telling fantastic fictional stories of princes and dragons, of which the children absolutely adored.

Teenage Years

After the disappearance of Gwenneg Beauregard due to the Calamity, the brothers effectively disappeared from view. It is unknown whether they were then taken care of another set of adopted parents, or who those parents might have been. At some point it would seem the brothers seperated completely, in which time their personalities and appearances changed radically than when they were together.

Current Time

Arc and Alus are now closer as they had ever been, and with that, their personalities and visual interests have started to subtly merge again. Alus tends to show up to a lot of local parties as both a guest and a volunteer helper. Arc very rarely shows up with him for unknown reasons. Alus is a locally reknowned and appreciated goldsmith in Ul'Dah, though he is still considered average in the ranks of the highest-level goldsmiths. He can often be seen playing games in the Gold Saucer, praying to statues of Nald and Thal, and crafting in his spare time. He enjoys taking long walks without any destination in mind, of which he might occasionally be seen in usual places while wearing casual wear. Alus is a registered sultansworn Paladin, and acts as an off-duty policeman, obliged to take in those he witnesses to act illegally but not actively always on patrol or duty to do so.

RP Hooks

RP Hooks and Potential Connections

General ■ Alus, Arc and Gwenneg were seen traveling around a lot when the brothers were children. Older characters might have met Gwenneg at one point or another, before or after he adopted the children. ■ If your character has a criminal background, you might act nervous around Alus while he is wearing armor, as his appearance while wearing such is very obviously Paladin-like. ■ If your character is new at something, Alus will most definitely offer to help you learn about it, even if he is entirely unfamiliar with the subject. This is part of his self-sworn duty as a member of the <Guide> free company. ■ While Alus is wearing off-duty clothing, bringing up the subject of fashion is almost definitely a conversation starter, unless your interest is just the flower hat. In which case, he'll probably give you one and be on his way. ■ Bringing up the subjects of floriography or tea. He loves discussing different meaning interpretations on the same flower, and he is currently in training to become an amateur tea master. ■ Challenging his moral views. He'll probably lecture you a whole lot, but he wants to hear your views too.

Currently Looking For IC ■ Alus is indeed single, but he has difficulty discerning the difference between a flirtatious personality and someone who is looking at him seriously. Be straightforward with him if you are actually interested. ■ People who enjoy parties, whether it's going to them or organizing them. ■ Any newbies who need a little guidance. Alus' free company as a policy of "No questions asked" for joining and leaving his group, so you should feel free to ask for his help or even temporarily, or permanently, join for their services. OOC ■ People who don't take RP too seriously. I feel very sad when it seems that I'm only getting to know the mask of the character, and not the person writing it. I like people who project their true feelings through their character. ■ Folks who are happy just doing non-violent things in the game. As forementioned, Alus enjoys talking walks to nowhere.
