This gained him a notorious reptuation both for being a liability as well as a maniac. Despite the reputation, the kill records were impressive enough to grant him a squad. Headed by Allont, this squad soon became synonymous with the same suicidal tactics used by him and was known for its above average mortality rate. Although the squad went on to gain the same notorious reputation, by the end of the war its elite members had gained the nickname ''"The Bloody Six"'' partially due to their small size and high mortality rate, but also due to their high kill rate. After sustaining near fatal injuries on what should have been a routine operation, Allont was pulled from combat and evaluated as being a danger to his own soldiers. Despite this, the Holy See was not willing to get rid of him. And so, Allont was retired to the rear to help train the future generations of Dragoons. His methods were considered both harsh and ineffective, but with time his techniques began to mellow out. He was considered a highly unpopular figure amongst his peers and to those who served alongside him during the war. Since then he has served faithfully under the new Republic of Ishgard. He now has years of training under his belt and is qualified to instruct new members in the ways of the Knights-Dragoon. |

He was personally responsible for recruiting most of the squad. He felt a great bond with most of them. Although he initially found Allont's personal combat skills to be awe inspiring, as the war continued he slowly began to understand the flaws and shortfalls of the man, especially in his complete lack of responsibility for those under him. He eventually became distrustful and even insubordinate later in the war. Ultimately his concerns about Allont were proven to be true. Whilst Allont was leading many men to their deaths in suicidal battles against harsh odds, Auvreaux was petitioning the Holy See for aid. Sadly, the war needed as many eager soldiers as possible and so nothing was done. At that point, the damage had already been done. His skill in the air was never on the level of the other members of the squad but he was considered a keystone of the squad due to his supportive, father-like nature. After the war, despite the negative reputation that followed him due to his membership in the infamous squad, he managed to secure himself a place in the new Ishgardian House of Lords where he currently serves faithfully.</div> | ||

Although Auvreaux escaped, Etienne fought to the last, ensuring that no enemies could follow them back across the pass. His body was later recovered by the very same patrol and returned to Ishgard, where he was buried with full honours.

The Griffin of Banepool, Tempered by Peace

[edit]
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. Whatever rumours still remain from those times claim that Allont and his team were honed to an elite level, using suicidal tactics that would lead them to claim two more named kills, but these are not logged in the records 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 stupid in combat, despite being a whirlwind of terror in the firmament and a bloodthirsty maniac at the end of a spear. This gained him a notorious reptuation both for being a liability as well as a maniac. Despite the reputation, the kill records were impressive enough to grant him a squad. Headed by Allont, this squad soon became synonymous with the same suicidal tactics used by him and was known for its above average mortality rate. Although the squad went on to gain the same notorious reputation, by the end of the war its elite members had gained the nickname "The Bloody Six" partially due to their small size and high mortality rate, but also due to their high kill rate. After sustaining near fatal injuries on what should have been a routine operation, Allont was pulled from combat and evaluated as being a danger to his own soldiers. Despite this, the Holy See was not willing to get rid of him. And so, Allont was retired to the rear to help train the future generations of Dragoons. His methods were considered both harsh and ineffective, but with time his techniques began to mellow out. He was considered a highly unpopular figure amongst his peers and to those who served alongside him during the war. Since then he has served faithfully under the new Republic of Ishgard. He now has years of training under his belt and is qualified to instruct new members in the ways of the Knights-Dragoon.
However, he now mostly handles scouting missions or surveying work for the Order, like many veterans of the war. Appearance

History . Disclaimer: I am fully aware there are a lot of powerful abilities that come with dragoons that might seem silly to claim with any fairness in roleplay, especially so with Allont as I have tried to build a powerful, notorious legend around him. Granted, I have attempted to keep it solidly within the lore (we all know the Azure Dragoon is Ishgard's greatest warrior, or so the SE lore team has told us) but at times the writing may come across as self serving, or as bragging. To those concerned about the power of the character, or what you might see as lack of depth: I do not intend to use this character to powergame. I believe the backstory to be a very interesting part of the character, which some might be able to use for RP. After all, we're all here to make stories together, and I have no intention of showing off and being the biggest boy in the sandbox, so to speak. 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, but I would urge you to look past what you see as I firmly believe I can roleplay Allont as a multifaceted character who is more than just his past history or how powerful he might have been in combat once. I don't intend to play him to one up people, 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 apologetically strong background. Thank you for your understanding.
Also yeah I guess he's got a lot of wangst and edginess. I suppose it comes with the character concept. A lot of the stuff I write for Allont makes me cringe a little, but again it's about pushing the boat out from what I usually do!
