Juste was born a light-grey skinned half-duskwight, half-hyur of House Fantome, an Ishgardian clan whose ancestry is said to reach back to Gelmorra. He is shorter than many of his kind and sports long, light-blond hair. His frame is well built from years of sword and martial arts training.
Personality & Mannerisms
Juste is a quiet and reserved duskwight, often not speaking unless spoken to first. He prefers to plan his actions out carefully before acting rashly. That being said, he is quick to conjure a solution of issues that arise around him, and solve them quickly. The elezen rarely seeks the attention of others, especially strangers as he would prefer to be stand-offish first; his patience could be mistaken for zoning out or falling asleep. This being said, he is never to busy to chat with a friend or an intrigued stranger, out of politeness or actual desire, who is to say. In public, he dons a false persona of a simple adventurer looking for miscellaneous work in Eorzea. Juste pretends to suffer from allowing strangers to walk all over him, often not responding after being insulted or ignoring being shoved or kicked around. Juste also boasts a higher standard of proper etiquette, referring to women as "milady" and men as "ser." In fact, he places most people far above himself, greeting strangers with utmost respect. This is, of course, if they introduce themselves to Juste first. In this way, new people often view Juste into being more vulnerable than he is and don't see him as a threat. To people who know Juste as a friend, the elezen will feel obliged to be himself. It is not uncanny to hear the man laugh or smile, and he will offer expressions of happiness around those he cares for.
Combat Art
Fighting Style
"You always look like you want to kill me Juste. Now would be a good reason to."
" I assure you, tis not my intent..." ~Artorias Mason and Juste Fantome
- Blade: Juste has been taught to wield a sword ever since he was a boy. It was mandatory for children of the Fantome blood to be proficient with at least one sword art until the weapon becomes as natural as part of the body. Juste is well practiced in short-sword, long-sword, and heavy two-handed greatswords, the latter being vital to wield the Fantome's family sword, Aunzeriuth, the blade carried down from generation to generation. Until his father Rovin hands the sword over, Juste is familiar with his long sword, Segura, named after the ancestor of his bloodline.
- Black Magic: Juste's Aether Eye allows the young elezen to cast spells at a quick rate and would last much longer before finding himself in need of aether. In addition, the Eye amplifies his magic, causing them to be much more devastating and destructive then would seem possible at his age. Alongside other martial arts, it was magic that came most natural to him, and he would say that such magics are his favorite method of fighting. This was one of the first signs that Juste would prove to take Rovin's place as head of the family and take upon the Aunzeriuth sword.
- Archery: Before the plains of Coerthas became conquered by ice and snow, Juste would found solace from his noble duties in hunting and tracking in the wild. During which, he taught himself to use a bow and arrow. While he takes some pride in being proficient at aimed shots at large targets, Juste is not among the first pick for a combat archer.

History/Timeline
"So it ends now, Aunzeriuth, with this blade, I cast you into the Void forever, that your power will be shattered. I smite thee for the sake of Light...!"
"Before thy sword falls, Atticus, phantom, I would beseech thee. It needeth not end with me."
"What bile do you offer me now, Consumer? Riches? Glory? Do not mock my honour-!"
"Nay, Segura. I offer power. Mine own power... and a new beginning." -Atticus Segura and Aunzeriuth
Bloodlines
So it was in that Era long ago that the elezen dark knight Atticus, of the Segura bloodline, in the final battle, cast down the Void Lord Aunzeriuth and raise his sword over his head in attempt to destroy the demon forever. In that hour, Aunzeriuth would beg that his power would be spared and not scattered across the realm for eternity. That amazing power that he had spent an equal eternity gathering. No one expected Atticus to agree and forever bound his blood to the void-being, sealing the demon in his sword, which had now transformed to host the entity of Aunzeriuth. This new blood that flowed through Atticus both excited and terrified the mortal who was reminded by his honor that great power went hand in hand with an even greater responsibility. The elezen would go off alone and train himself to wield this new power of darkness without losing himself in it. To mark his binding to the demon blade, his left eye turned crimson and he swore that only his new bloodline, which he would name Fantome, be the guardians of this power and have a duty to the realm to slay the servants of evil with it.
Rovin, the Butcher
A century or so later, the sword had been passed down again and again through the Fantome clan which was presently counted under the High Houses of Ishgard, namely, House Durendaire. While the head of the family bore the greatsword Aunzeriuth, other members of the family continued to fight back the Horde with black magics as well as steel. Rovin Fantome, the current head of the family, was an asset against the Dravanian horde that would incessantly assault the Holy See. An arrogant warrior, Rovin would often toss himself into the fray without back-up and unleash devastating strikes in the Dravanian advances. With each moon, Rovin grew more and more powerful, up to the day he would bestow the blade and power of Aunzeriuth to his eldest son, D'Andre Fantome. An anomaly occurred, and Rovin saw himself becoming a slave to the power and his face became twisted. When it was time to surrender the sword, he dug it into D'Andre's chest and killed half of the family when they attempted to stop him. Rovin fled Ishgard, leaving a trail of innocent and temple knight blood in his path, swearing that no one but him would ever wield the power of his bloodline.
Exile (2.2)
Before the High Inquisitor would cast judgement on his family, Rovin's second son, Juste Fantome offered up his own life in exchange for the survival of the family that remained. He pledged to leave Ishgard and bring back his father in chains to be rightfully brought to justice. Agreeing to the request, the elezen was banished from Ishgard until the day he could drag his father back to the Steps of Faith.
Character Connections
Juste does not call many his allies, yet one with powerful magics does seem to get around, for better or worse~
- While House Fantome was by no means very famous, there are a few Ishgardians that may recount of it's existence.
- People who pay attention to the little things will have noticed his name popping up numerous times in Maelstrom reports.
- Inquisitors of Ishgard who cared about such things will have heard of House Fantome and their unorthodox fight against the heretics.
