This is the entire reason Lobeaux was chosen to be fostered over any of his elder siblings, as tradition demanded. Had he failed in all of his studies and military career, Gwenaël would have gone against his family's demands to offer his son work on the Bérenger family estate. |

This doesn't mean that they will ever be friends, Gwenaël did sleep with Boniface's wife after all, but they won't go after one another's throats nowadays. The same cannot always be said about Anaïs and Gwenaël, metaphorically speaking they still attempt to rip one another apart. They harbor a cold animosity towards one another. Marius, the oldest Lounent boy, was often ill during the winters as a child and if the bargaining chip of a lifetime hadn't been conceived then it's likely that he'd have died young.

As the child was born to a married woman, Gwenaël cannot claim his son without putting more than just himself at risk for ridicule and shame. Being a secondborn son also plays a major part in this decision. Bérenger made due by keeping Lobeaux throughout the winters of Coerthas and dealing with the heartache of sending him back to the Lounent family farm during the summers. </div> | ||

[edit]
Lobeaux is a young veteran of the Dragonsong War and a semi-retired Dragoon originally from Western Coerthas. He was entirely loyal to his homeland and the beliefs that he was raised with to the point of naïvety until he was kidnapped and experimented on by Garleans. Though he managed to escape and destroy the facility he was held in, he ran through the wilds of Coerthas while half feral, on the verge of giving in completely to the dragon within. He avoided people to prevent hurting them and was unable to be contained until a run in with one Esredes Rosemond. The run in with the former heretic leader has lead to Lobeaux questioning what he's known and becoming less naïve and trusting of his government.
Lobeaux's skin is best described as a pale white with a rosy pink undertone and the ability to tan after burning. His hair is kept short and in shaggy layers falling just barely to his chin and when not being kept back by a helmet or hat, his bangs will fall over his right eye. His eyes are set apart evenly and are average sized but seem narrowed from sleepiness. He has a long, angular, somewhat narrow face that shows off sharp cheekbones and a pointy nose with naturally pink lips, the bottom more full than the top. His ears are short, just slightly longer than a Hyur’s and he has been mistaken for a tall, lank Hyur because of this but they’re still pointed enough to be distinctly Elezen if one is paying attention. A slightly rounded chin finishes off his facial features.
His skin is fairly free of deep scars and flaws thanks to training, skill, and more recently, the Echo. However until he left Coerthas, his skin was somewhat dry thanks to the harsh climate. Having lived in the Shroud and now having the free time and money to spend on more expensive things like high quality soaps and lotions, he’s softening that roughness away. Hands strong enough to hold the shaft of a spear with ease are complemented by long, elegant fingers perfect for playing instruments. Bodywise, Lobeaux is thin and even considered skinny thanks to his own physical exertions and the toll placed upon him by Hydaelyn's Blessing. Before leaving Ishgard he was unhealthily boney. Afterwards he managed to gain not only weight but even more muscle. He's not a tall Elezen male. In fact he's shorter than many female Elezen. He stands at 6'4" and is the shortest and slightest among his peers. Aspects That Stand Out:
