Lucien Chevalier
Lucien was rather lucky for a lowborn. His parents came to be employed under House Fortemps. His father, Matthieu, served in the Fortemps military as a lancer, though he now spends the rest of his days molding metal at the forge. His mother, Aimée, occupied a more domestic mindset as a maid servant and seamstress. In doing so, they allowed Lucien to mature comfortably and receive a proper education. He was kind-hearted and well-mannered during his youth, although there were oft times he'd land himself in trouble for "doing the right thing." Lucien, aggravated when those in the wrong were not punished for their misdeeds, merely thought it just that he do the deed himself. He valued his independence; a hard-won victory by his own hands would always outshine a victory won through reliance on others. As Aimée always put it, her son clearly preferred to "march to the beat of his own drum."
When Lucien became of age to enlist, Matthieu urged his son to pick up the lance as there was no greater sense of honor than to protect and serve. Lucien resisted two-fold. If he were to take orders, they'd be from himself, and not always would one find themselves with the luxury of wielding a weapon. Most of his efforts were placed into the knowledge of pugilism instead. His philosophy being one of, "The field of battle is a cruel mistress, and one must needs be prepared to utilize thyself as a weapon of your own should you be disarmed." Along with this skillset, Lucien then proceeded to study common herbs for the purpose of producing remedies and poultices. He later realized the necessity for becoming proficient with a spear after a near-death confrontation with a wyvern. Although he and his group made it out alive, Lucien was still left with grievous wounds. As such, he finally begun Lancer training as a means to ensure a bit of distance between himself and his enemy. With the gates of Ishgard open and the war against the dragons ever raging, he's taken up the career choice of adventurer. He yearns to make a difference; to bring peace and tranquility not only to his family and friends, but to Ishgard--his home.
