Details
General Information Allont de Laupeois is a Wildwood Elezen hailing from Ishgard. He spent most of his early years fighting for the Holy See during the Dragonsong War, where he gained a fierce reputation for himself as a ruthless killer, often going above and beyond expectations. During this time, he was credited with claiming the head of Amoraskr, an infamous named Dragon responsible for the destruction of many expeditions. Rumours from those times claim that Allont and his team were honed to a high level, using suicidal tactics that would help them to claim two more famous kills, but they are not backed up by the archives of the Holy See. Known to be bloodthirsty to the point of sheer stupidity, he was looked down upon by most of his peers for being too foolhardy in combat, despite being a feared lancer on the battlefield and during duels. After sustaining a major injury to the helmet fighting in the field, he was retired to the rear to train future generations of Dragoons. However, his teaching methods were found to be both unstable. After many complaints, he was forced to bury his armour at the field of his valour, resigning his post in the Order of the Knight's Dragoon. He was considered a highly unpopular figure during the war. After the war, he was rotated back into the Temple Knights, although soon after he was granted a long leave of absence. He now travels Eorzea plying his trade as a lancer, and making enough gil to fund his personal pursuits in botany, and other peaceful affairs. Appearance

History . Disclaimer: I am fully aware there are a lot of powerful abilities to most dragoons that might seem silly to claim with any fairness in roleplay, especially so with my own. With Allont, I am trying something new by creating something of a legend behind the person through his backstory. Most of that legend will never appear in roleplay. I believe it to be a very interesting part of the character, which some might be able to use for RP. With just a cursory glance a lot of the backstory a lot within might seem like an excuse to play some sort of power fantasy. I would urge you to look past what you might see as shallow claims as I firmly believe Allont to be more than just his past history. I don't intend to play him for combat, nor do I intend to parade him around in an intrusive way. If you don't agree with anything I've written, please feel free to let me know. I am always open for self-improvement, even more so on the part of a character that I consider to have an unapolagetically strong background. Thank you for your understanding.
