Neutral Good General Information Grant is a traveling and self proclaimed knight of the 'people' that seeks to protect innocents from injustices wherever they may occur within the realm. He strictly upholds a personal code, often being single minded in its fulfilment thus he often appears as stoic and standoff-ish to most, rarely speaking or initiating conversation unless talked to first. When he does speak however, he most certainly attempts to shift the conversation away from himself, and more towards any possible problem the current conversation partner may have. Nevertheless, he does not hesitate in immediately moving to the defense of those he deems as 'innocent' and under attack, such as a random mugging of a traveler by bandits or a targetted assassination or murder of an individual. It matters not what the circumstances or the situation, should he see something he deems as 'injustice' he will immediately move to act. He is also very quick to offer to people services as a hired security, typically for free, citing it as his simple 'duty.' Overall he is a man that is dedicated to his duty as a protector of the defenseless, and thus should there be anyone in need, he will not hesitate to lend a hand to fulfill his mission: to ensure of future of hopes even if his own may end in despair. ❝ Quote. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Right: Green. Left: Red(Fake) Black Slightly tanned Athletic/Muscular Eorzean with a clear Ishgardian accent. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWXxO6bHX6I&t=100s) Laterality Scars Markings Ambidextrous Two across his face. Numerous on his body None Hair & Eyes A full head of somewhat messy and unkempt jet black hair adorns his head, reaching about the beginning of his back as it is neatly tied up into a small tailing at the back of his head. His natural eye color is a dark green as shown by his right eye whic his his only properly functioning eye. His left 'eye' however is not an eye at all and close observers will be able to notice that it is in fact a Soul Crystal that was lodged onto the empty socket, bearing the marking of a Dark Knight. Physique & Markings As befitting a man whom calls himself a knight and wields a blade, Grant possessed a toned and athletic physique that he usually shrouds under layers of protective clothing. He possesses numerous scars, each telling a story of a battle survived, hidden under his clothes. Hygiene & Attire The man appears to be meticulous to say the least as he keeps his form clean and organized as much as he can. His weapons as well as his attire are well maintained with no sign of rust. Grant usually dresses in longcoats that obscure his form or otherwise makes him appear larger than he actually is. He dresses in contrasting black and white colors, never having them mix yet both seem to be present in some way in his clothing choices. He wears a layer of chainmail armor underneath his clothes to act as a guard to any unsuspecting attackers. Personality Psychological Profile At a glance a very distant and rather blank individual. He is seemingly expressionless, rarely breaking from his stoic composure as his face retains a neutral expression at almost all times. Yet there seems to be more than meets the eye with the supposedly stoic knight as his expression seems to quiver and twitch at times, giving a slight indication as to how he is truly feeling under the expressionless mask. He is for the most part courteous and polite to those whom he meets and talks to. However, all pretense of politeness and courtesy is dropped as soon as anyone attempts to delve deep or otherwise show interest in the man himself, often acting rude and at times brash in an attempt to dissuade the person from thinking of him as more than simply a knight. He appears to act in an almost schizophrenic manner, having moments or periods of strange behaviour which is showcased by his strange fascination with moogles and appears to be suffering from delusions of grandeur as well as despair which is demonstrated by his firm belief in being a 'blade' as well as fervent denial of any personal happiness. He often uses references to his vague 'duties' of which only he seems to be aware to justify his lack of sociability. Voice He speaks in a neutral and composed tone that while polite appears to be very indifferent, showing little to no emotion or investment. Philosophy & Mannerisms He firmly believes in the idelogies of being a 'knight.' One that does not seem to follow a traditional description but one of his own. In his view a 'knight' is someone whom dedicates himself to the protection of 'innocents' as well as the slaying of 'injustice' that roams and plagues the world. In his view the 'knights' serve as a 'blade' of the people rather than a shield and so he fervently roams the land, searching for those in need of help, seeking to rend oppression wherever he might encounter it, regardless of the law or someone's social standings. If he sees another oppressing or otherwise depriving free will from another, he will move to summarily execute them as per his 'duties.' That said, he acts polite and courteous to those he deems 'innocent.' Yet, there is a clear sense of inferiority where he acts as though he is below most people or otherwise does not deserve the same rights as most, demonstrated by how he often implores others to seek happiness yet fervently denies such notions towards himself. Preferences Likes ● Moogles ● Tea ● Silence ● Blades ● Traveling ● Fireplaces ● Thoughtful people ● Motives and passion Dislikes ● Cold places ● Loud noises and people ● Nosey people ● Greed and corruption. ● Slavery and oppression ● Nutkin Skills ● Strong enough to wield a greatsword with one hand. ● Appears to be a competent bartender, being able to swiftly complete orders while ensuring quality. ● Juggling as well as twirling knives.

History . Disclaimer: . Sixth Astral Era Childhood To be determined...All that is known about this so called knight is that he is from Ishgard..

NPC Richter Delacroix ♠ ♥ ( NPC ) - Father A knight of some renown that resided in Ishgard, Grant grew up respecting and following in this man's footsteps and strived to earn his approval. However certain events from the past has completely estranged the father and son to the point that Grant actively denies that he has a father as well as strictly refusing to divulge what had occured. Nevertheless the knight still seems to show what is a trace of fear at the mention of his father, his name alone elicitting caution and panic within the normally composed knight. This fear seems to stem from a traumatic event involving his father as well as the indifferent and as well as abusive treatment he had received from his father for being a supposed 'bastard' of the family. Elissara De Clarent ( ♥ ✖ ♥ ) ( NPC ) - Teacher An older Elezen Dark Knight that had taken the young Grant onto her wing at a moment of despair, setting him upon the path that he walks now. He had learned everything that he knows about combat and survival from this woman, and through her teachings, the ability and will to temper the abyss onto his blade. Grant feels a great deal of respect towards his teacher and remembers her fondly. Though he will not admit it, deep down he considers her the mother that he never had and sorely desires her guidance once more in these perilous times. Frank Yaeger ( ♥ ♥) ( NPC ) - The Wolf's Claw, Brother The older half brother of Grant Yaeger, and a Dragoon in service of Ishgard. He was a constant presence in Grant's childhood, and though their father had instilled in both of them the discipline to become a knight, it is this man that fueled the ideals that made them strive to protect others. In their youth, Frank had often protected him from others that had bullied as well as from their father's wrath, earning his ire in the process. He remained the sole source of guidance for a young and confused Grant, often inspiring him to struggle past their hardships as well as to persist. However their time together came to an end however as one day, he was sent on a mission far into the cold reaches of Coerthas to halt a supposedly impending threat of dragons...Grant never saw his brother after that, leaving the young squire feeling abandoned, confused, and alone. Grant greatly adored and cherished the time with his brother and remembers him fondly and it would seem that a promise that the two brothers had made is the main factor for the Knight's current desire to fight for others.
