Javert Delacroix
Contents
Character
General
A duskwight born into a clan of bandits, Javert occupies his time finding ways to simply get by living. He was raised to raid and plunder, and the elezen boasts the skill with a bow to honor his upbringing. However, Javert is far removed from those who raised him and presently keeps to himself as he wanders Eorzea's city-states. Despite his desire for independence, the elezen does hold a position in the Twin Adders.
Appearance
Tall and toned, Javert may have been an imposing figure if not for his people's naturally lithe frames. Years of wandering, fighting to survive and drawing a bow have hardened the elezen's muscles and body. True to his lonely nature, Javert's body is littered with a number of scars and bruises, the most visible of which can be seen on his face.
The duskwight's skin is notably grey, perhaps a rarity in some parts. Perhaps even rarer are the freckles adorning Javert's face and shoulders; the dark dots are hard to spot due to the tone of his skin.
Personality
Quiet, reserved and unwilling to let others get too close, Javert is a loner through and through. If he does happen to speak, it will often be of the things he doesn't take a liking to. Few have managed to put up with the elezen's negative disposition, and that's exactly what Javert prefers. He does not like being attached to people, places or things. He prefers to be his own man, not held down by the rules or expectations of others.
Combat
General
Javert was raised a bandit. As such, if he were in the heat of battle he'd prefer to not be seen. Rather, the elezen is at home a good half a malm away from those who would do him harm, opting to pick them off with his bow.
Should any attackers get close, they'd find the elezen is proficient enough using his fists and daggers to put up a fight.

History/Timeline
Javert Delacroix is a duskwight elezen born deep in the forests of the Black Shroud. Raised in a family of bandits, Javert was brought up learning how to fight, kill and hunt for himself as well as the family. While the budding elezen was out on a lone hunt, his family's hideaway was raided by Gridanian forces and his family was all killed.
For the next few years, Javert wandered alone. The solitude wore on his mind. In desperation, the lone duskwight traveled to the city-state's capitol to find work and any sort of social interaction. It was then that he begrudgingly joined the Order of the Twin Adder.
Though he still kept to himself, the occasional chat or job helped Javert through the years.
Recently, Javert has sought the life of a mercenary. He has established a small number of connections for what may lead to future jobs.
