Appearance

Braxis is a tall highlander standing 6'7ft tall, his hair is usually down to his shoulders but it kept together in a tight, light brown man bun. The skin that covers him is a light, fair shade only a tad darker than most pale citizens of Ishgard. He is has his fair share of scars ranging from the few slash marks on his face, to the various burn and claw marks that cover his chest and back. When he is spotted traveling between his two homes of Limsa and Ishgard he can be found in plate armor styled to be similar to Ishgardian made armor, a halberd or some sort of poleaxe at his side accompanied with a sword of sorts resting by his side.

History

A bastard child of a noble lord of Ishgard, and a once wealthy merchant's daughter from Limsa. Born into this world out of wedlock during a harsh winter, although with parents who took equal care for the young hyur. Before he could walk his father was recalled to Ishgard to do a knights and dragoons duties to defend his homeland. Making a promise to return he would never be able to keep.

The years went by as the mother slowly sought ways to ease her sorrow and inner turmoils over the lost of her husband. Who rumor had fell to the dravanian hordes. Seeking the pleasures of drink and flesh, which slowly over the years brought the family into a poor state and added three half siblings for Braxis. Since he was a child nearing his tenth name day he worked, stole and did what he had too to keep his family alive and fed. This path slowly, and with a few beat downs lead him to be a sailor of the ship, The Sea’s Wrath.

Many years passed and the man had barely reached the age of seventeen before any change came to his life. A task to deliver odd boxes from one point to another. Which lead part of the crew onto land into the lands of Coerthas. Quickly upon entering they were jumped by hostile and bloodthirsty dragonkin, slaughtering the crew except for a few. This included the young adult that was Braxis at the time. The survivors only saved by a stray dragoon, Alexander Greywulf.

Upon meeting one another, and during his healing. Braxis and Alexander realized of their similarities and shared their names, soon learning they were family. A debt of service, a world and family unknown to him. The Highlander stayed with his new family, giving farewell to his former crew.

Over fifteen years would pass with his time in Ishgard. Earning several feats such as becoming a full fledge knight and dragoon of The Holy See. Slaying many dragons, traitors and other threats to Ishgard underneath his spear and sword. Although recent events now lead the dragoon on a hunt that has lead him all over the world now. Returning to Isghard with his current partners fate always leading towards the frozen lands of Coerthas. Waiting for his next chapter to open.

Personality

Braxis is a calm and quiet man from far away. But upon approching and speaking to him, you would find a honorable knight of Ishgard. Bound by duty and justice to his homelands, family and ones he cares for. He is known for being reckless and stubborn for when he faces challenges on the battlefield. The heat of battle turning him into an animal of the battlefield, spilling blood and harm for the fun of it more then his sake of duty if it overwhelms him.

Yet off the field he is extremely protective and caring of his friends and family. Time after time again he has put himself in danger or taken the blame instead of them to protect them. This devout of The Fury faces all of his obstacles so far with a grin and determination.

Affiliations and Known Associates

Zanzan Yanzan- A young Lalafell I met at the Drunken Moogle. He had enough food to fill the table too earn himself a bill of ten thousand gil. I quickly befriended him and a mute Miqo'te after the trio of us had started a burping contest in the pub and quickly all shared in the Lalafell's feast. We shared food and stories, I hope to run into this friendly bugger in Limsa or Coerthas if he took my advice.

Io Saar – A mute Miqo'te I ran into along with Zanzan at the time. Saw her choking back a drink that seemed to be lacking alcohol, she forced it down as if she was drinking sludge. Once she got her alcoholic drink she let loose a loud burp, for the hell of it I did the same, then Zanzan the next bellowing burping contest. I was then invited to join the two at their table and shared food and tale with them. She is now my pupil in the art of being a Dragoon. She has shown promise in the physical and material skills needed to be one of us. Now she faces her final tests and must contain the magic that we use, or succumb to the madness it offers. I pray to The Fury she makes it.

Isranne Montagneaux – A fellow soul from Ishgard and Arms Master of the crew I serve. I remember wandering the Casino and ran into her and some other people from the Pearl. I was kindly invited by her to join in on their fun and merriment, amgonst it all we talked and she informed me about their group and vessel The Pearl, two days later I took that offer and joined the crew. She seems familiar, perhaps she served under the same House before I left Ishgard?

Quill Sureshot – "The second oldest in the family right behind myself. Quill has a strong stomach, there is rarely a time when she is sober truth be told. She be a brash and blunt lass, but family none the less besides it gets us all in some interesting scenes that usually having her, myself or Asmaria deckin' some pervy lad or lass in the throat.

Asmaria Bloodfury – "The youngest out of the four of us, she be hooligan of the family. Always getting in trouble with some sort and Fury be damned Quill is always by her side most of the time helping making the scene worse. Out of all of my siblings she is the one I keep an eye on the most, she be my little sister after all. All who mess with her will answer to me after she is done kicking their rear"

Llaine Tetheros – "" A lass I met at the bar in Limsa once, funny how it all started with a simple drink and sharing tales of our battles as Knights. Upon our first meeting she volunteered to join a quest of sorts to find and recover a lost pupil of mine who we thought at the time was mad. The way she selflessly acted, and how she fight caught my eye. I returned helped her and her company with a mission for research. We continued to drink, and fight with one another. Growing to know one another and leading us closer together. Now we share a room and call each other lovers. I'm a lucky old wolf to call this bloody miracle of a woman my love.

Other Notes

Religion

Braxis is a zealot of the gods, but his main deity is The Fury, Halone.

Quirks

Braxis has a unnatural love for combat. Either it be a fight, battle or a spar to sharpen's ones edge. When he is challenged with any of them, or almost any challenge he never declines.

Equipment

The man can mostly be found around in the citys in plate armor of Ishgardian design. Always with a sword or polearm of sorts strapped to his side or back. When he knows he is going into a dangerous situation or a battle worthy of praise. He dawns his steel blue drachan mail and spear, keeping a short sword and three throwing spears with him at all times. When he is home relaxing or in a place he can lower his guard, he wears more casual and comfy clothing with only a single blade or polearm on him. Well that and his lucky boot dagger hidden away.
