Character

General

Mathis Isterre is a Wildwood Elezen, born to a pair of farmers outside Limsa Lominsa. His family sent him away to train as a squire/knight at a young age, and he ended up in Ishgard, working with the war effort for many years. During this time, he met Miziutte Zuiremand, and after a time, the two fell in love and he proposed to her. However, before they had a chance to be wed, they ran into trouble on an assignment in the highlands. Due to an accident, Mathis was mauled by a Biast and died. The next thing he knew, he awoke, over a year later, scarred, pale, but some semblance of alive. He does not know how it happened, and didn't recall enough of his life prior to his death to try and pick up where he left off. All he recalled at first was Miziutte and his own name, but in time, he began to remember more. Somebody recommended he push towards Ul Dah, to the refugee camps, and there he resided for several weeks, trying to get back on his feet. The scarring from the mauling left his sword arm stiff, and he took up the bow to attempt and get reestablished into combat.

Appearance

Mathis has a very pale complexion, paler still since his resurrection. His hair is a light gray, fading to white as he ages, with blue eyes. Prior to his resurrection, they were grey. Mathis is lean but toned, having lost some muscle over the time he spent dead, but is attempting to rebuild his prior strength. His face and body have many scars, including an enormous scar on his chest from the Biast mauling.

Personality

Mathis has a knack for using his words to weasel out of situations unsavory, and into ones of a more enjoyable sort. He's not above lying or misleading people to his own ends, however, he does have a small bit of morality, he won't ever coerce people into carnal situations, or harm children. It just bothers him on a deep level. Additionally, after his resurrection, he finds himself much less keen to risk danger in combat, making him a very cautious fighter. In social matters, he is very willing to attempt something stupid if he thinks it will allow him to meet his goals.

For a time, he was engaged to Miziutte Zuiremand, but died before marrying. He's aware that she is alive, and keeps tabs on her to a degree, but refuses to strike up contact again, and hopes to keep her ignorant of his existence.
