Blake Aurelius
A stranger in unfamiliar lands, Blake (pyr) Aurelius finds himself without a cause to fight for, nor a master or mistress he could serve. Thus, the former manservant spends his waking days pondering his past, his present, and his future... and the future of his homeland.
At a glance, little about the man hints at his Garlean blood. Black hair highlighted with purple stripes and a pair of emerald green eyes do little to suggest where he hails from. However, his minute knowledge of Eorzea, as well as his reluctance to speak of his past may serve to out him... in time.

Appearance
Blake appears to be a man well into his prime, with fair skin and emerald green eyes that inspire a sense of calm. A somewhat strange feature, considering his polite and sophisticated nature, is his black hair, with purple highlights running through it. Upon closer inspection, one can see that it has recently been dyed, with the faintest hint of platinum blonde hair at the base of his head. His toned body is in excellent shape, with minimal signs of scars and bruising. The most obvious scar runs across his right cheek. Thankfully, it only improves his charm somewhat.
While his sophisticated, mild-mannered nature might be betrayed by his unusual hairstyle and its colouring, his wardrobe does the opposite. Containing three nigh-identical sets of butler's attire, as well as a set of more casual clothing he can afford to get caked in dirt. Several pairs of shoes and boots can be found in his arsenal as well, be it for sunny days or torrents of rain.
Behaviour
Combat
Fencing. During his youth, he practiced fencing as a hobby, and proved himself to be a natural with a rapier. He proved himself skilled on several occasions, besting his opponents during contests, be they formal or for sport. Several pureblooded Garleans were his opponents, but few of them were capable of defeating him. Most of them were fought to a stalemate, for the sake of not wounding their pride too much. Indeed, Blake knew when to hold back and when to humbly accept defeat.
He has rarely had a chance to display his skill with a rapier in proper life-or-death combat, though the crystal adorned on the pommel of his blade hints at... magical capabilities.
Sword & Shield. His skill with fencing proved helpful when he learned how to wield a longsword and a shield, as was demanded of all who would serve the military. He proved as skilled with the longsword as he was with the rapier, and would often surprise opponents with powerful thrusts and lunges.
Tricks of the Trade. Sometime during his service, or perhaps sometime after abandoning his station in Doma, he jury-rigged a fallen officer's arm-cannon and took it for himself. It allowed him to reach distant foes, but it was less powerful than it once was.
