Character

General

A Duskwight born into a clan of bandits, Javert occupies his time finding ways to simply get by living. He was raised to raid and plunder, and the Elezen boasts the skill with a bow to honor his upbringing. However, Javert is far removed from those who raised him and presently keeps to himself as he wanders Eorzea's city-states. Despite his desire for independence, the Elezen does hold a position in the Twin Adders that he tends to ignore.

Appearance

Tall and toned, Javert may have been an imposing figure if not for his people's naturally lithe frames. Years of wandering, fighting to survive and drawing a bow have hardened the Elezen's muscles. Additionally, Javert's body is littered with a number of scars and bruises, the most visible of which can be seen on his face. His eyes are a cold, sea-green.

The Duskwight's skin is notably grey, perhaps a rarity in some parts. Perhaps even rarer are the freckles adorning Javert's face and shoulders; the dark dots are hard to spot due to the tone of his skin.

Personality

Quiet, reserved and unwilling to let others get too close, Javert is a loner through and through. If he does happen to speak, it will often be of the things he doesn't take a liking to. Few have managed to put up with the Elezen's negative disposition, and that's exactly what Javert prefers. He does not like being attached to people, places or things. He prefers to be his own person, not held down by the rules or expectations of others.

History/Timeline

Javert Delacroix is a Duskwight Elezen born deep in the forests of the Black Shroud. Raised in a family of bandits that found shelter in a cave, Javert was brought up learning how to fight, kill, and hunt for himself as well as the family. His grandfather, a veteran of the Autumn War, saw fit to make sure the young Duskwight learned the ways of the bards of old. In addition to his expert mastery of a bow, Javert learned to perform songs that could change the tide of a skirmish, at the cost of his aether.

While the budding Elezen was out on a lone hunt, his family's hideaway was raided by Gridanian forces and his family killed.

For the next several years, Javert wandered alone. The solitude wore on his mind. In desperation, the lone Duskwight traveled to the city-state's capitol to find work and any sort of social interaction. It was then that he begrudgingly joined the Order of the Twin Adder, under threat of execution.

Though he still kept to himself, the occasional chat or job helped Javert stay strong through the years, until he found a free company willing to put up with his odd nature. Under the guidance of his company mates, the once-wild Duskwight learned to behave himself somewhat better in public. Furter, he was taught numerous necessary life-skills, including reading. His domestication, coupled with seemingly good behavior, lifted the black mark hanging over Javert's head with the Adders.

Combat

Javert was raised a bandit. As such, if he were in the heat of battle he'd prefer to not be seen. Rather, the elezen is at home a good half a malm away from those who would do him harm, opting to pick them off with his bow or a firearm.

Should any attackers get close, they'd find the Elezen is proficient enough using his fists and a blade to put up a fight.

In dire situations, Javert's willing to perform an ancient bardsong, one that could bolster the resolution of his allies, or bring fear to the hearts of his enemies.
