"To begin; We first must see the end."

✧

one.

OOC =/= IC
By no means what actions my character says or does will reflect my character; OOC (Out of Character). Thoughts feelings all that sort will always usually be IC (In Character) before anything unless otherwise discussed but most likely will be in 100%.

two.

+18: Mature Content
Be forewarned there will be mature content displayed on this account. while it won't be grotesque, there will be gore, violence, nudity to some capacity, and a good number of dark themes. (i.e. necromancy, macabre elements). If that is not your thing or within that age element.
Please leave this an account/ carrd post-haste.

✧

three.

Shipping
At the moment I'm no longer interested in shipping with other OC in any capacity save platonically. Istrault at the moment is currently married in the main verse and is not looking for any companionship. Do not plus or prod for this. If so i will unfollow and proceed to block you.
But should interesting for a platonic ship please understand these things will need to be discussed and how they fall parallel with the story.

four.

Racism/ Transphobia/ Homophobia
Giving a heads up I'm not wont to tolerate anything of the sort. If you have any racism, derogatory comments , slurs, or homophobic remarks that need to be said. Do so - far away from me. If done will promptly unfollow and block you from future interactions.

✧

five.

Lore
I try to keep my work quite lore-compliant to what is given. I will bend the lore to my liking but i will not break it. If your work is something i feel will not mesh with my current work please understand my decision is possibly based on this.

six.

Roleplay
My current style of RP ranges from the following; Novella, Multi-para, Paragraph. I don't do one-line roleplays.
I commonly do, and prefer, my RP's on discord but may do them in FFXIV depending my schedule.

personality. While his personality changes a significant degree through his story much of his core personality does not change. In his younger years of becoming an adventurer, he was cocky, confident, stubborn, inquisitive, sarcastic, determined, independent, quick wit and a dry sense of humour and could be strict (especially with old tomes and books). Possibly something he attained from his later grandsires and rebellious episodes within youth. Though he may come across as cocky and confident in his abilities, he still displays a caring and compassionate side and perhaps moments of insecurity about his own being.Within his mid-twenties between " A Realm Reborn" and "Heavesnword". Istrault unsurprisingly has become extremely bitter, sullen and depressed and focuses on vengeance after the events of _" Blood Moon Sacrifice". The only thing keeping him going is his furious vow to one day kill Wiltair, who he found out betrayed the band of Knives, despite knowing that his path of vengeance won't end well for him. Further, after being betrayed, Istrault became somewhat distrusting unsurprisingly, as he was wary of the Scions and former companions now considered outcasts initially but he soon warms up to them slowly. However he places his objectives depending if benefits his own concerns within that moment.He has shown callousness towards the title of "Warrior of Light". Something he finds foolish, considering the attitude those who call upon them often display and the dependency most form on their heroes. Perhaps most pivotal are said heroes only solemnly answer under the guidance of "Mother Crystal" and the gift that she bestows her chosen.this notion instead seems to entail responsibility that is charged without consent. Hence Istrault is quite reluctant and shirks these duties as Warrior of Light, being somewhat bitter under a pledge of answering the call of the star.

  SPECIAL ABILITIES:
— HEIGHTENED SENSES. Being a duskwight elezen his sight is somewhat on par with his cousins, The Wildwood Elezen. generations of calling shadowy caverns home have caused their skin to generally take on darker hues. For this selfsame reason, they possess an evolved sense of hearing—their ability to ascertain the source of a sound with unerring accuracy, unaffected by echoes or reverberations, often likened to that of a bat. This natural gift grants them an uncanny awareness, which many have put to exemplary use in the field of hand-to-hand combat.
— EXTRASENSORY PERCEPTION. A broad generalisation. While being able to detect and sense certain energies and precognition to some degree. Either by THE ECHO and AETHER SENSES. or through mastering various disciplines. The following fall under this category:
—   DRACONIC SENSES. Due to his Ishgardian heritage, the selfsame blood thought many others, and mastery as a Dragoon forming a strong connection with his inner dragon. He can sense and detect Dragonkin
—   VOIDSENT SENSES.   Marked by voidsent that have travelled through planar fractures his body has been marked by the void. Branded his presence and thus at times draws in lesser voidsent.
— ANIMAL HANDLING
— AGILITY / ACROBATICS

Dreadwyrm Dive. A dragoon jump- involves the user adding rotation to the spear by using immense torque behind the user's jump to generate a drill/boring action upon landing. While the immense force/power generated is significant control of the jump is vital. The ability went through its first use in Heavenwards (where he could use it once per day) and later on expounded upon in Shadowbringers ( upon learning different disciplines) can use it on land or aerial.Phantom Drop. MNK/ NIN/ DRG ability - An Izuna Drop is a move used mostly used by Ninjas. This move consists of either both fighters being in the air or one fighter knocking the other up into the air. After that one fighter grabs onto the other and continues to drop head first (Both fighters are going down head first) while spinning. The move ends with the fighter on the receiving end getting major head injuries and the giver getting away unharmed even though he/she was also going down head first. It was branched from the Dreadwyms Dive; utilising the DRG leaping ability and aerial combat, the Monk's and Ninja's dexterity and knowledge of the human body.
Often this ability is paired with either "Wind Resonance" or "Fire Resonance".Pressure-point-striking. A defining abilities was his mastery of pressure-point-striking martial arts, otherwise known as "chi-blocking". With his extensive knowledge of the human body and chakra later on through Stormblood ( the prerequisite being the one-ilm-punch ). He could strike sequences of pressure points, immobilizing her enemies to various degrees. He had the ability to paralyze a single body part or an opponent's entire body. This technique allowed him to block certain chi paths in benders to compromise their abilities. This made him especially dangerous to DoW who relied solely on their magicks and possessed no secondary fighting skills.Resonance. detail any specific ability notes here. ex, ninjutsu skills, league of legends champion abilities, etc., etc. whatever you wanna do!

Lore : Before A Realm Reborn.

1547 — Istrault Sirois is born on the Southern Continent of Meracydia That same year the following happened: —Year 26 of the First Emperor's Reign (Garlean Calendar).
Rather than cutting across Othard in pursuit of Nagxia, the Empire reaches south towards the Skatay Range and leverages their improved resources to claim the great Kingdom of Dalmasca, a major hub of international trade.— Garlemald's agile new airships sail effortlessly over the natural defenses of the northern mountain range and seize several major cities within the kingdom.
— Withdrawing to their last bastion at Nalbina Fortress, the Dalmascans rally around Prince Rasler and erect a barrier capable of withstanding the aerial assault. However, after six months under siege by Noah van Gabranth of the IVth Legion and the loss of over seventy thousand lives, the millennium-spanning rule of the royal line of B'nargin collapses.— Dalmasca is divided into two regions: The desert south of the Skatay Range was dubbed Dalmasca Superior, with Rabanastre to serve as the seat of the provincial government, whereas the Golmore Jungle and Greylic's Bend were named Dalmasca Inferior, with Lea Monde as its capital. Together, they would comprise the Diocese of Dalmasca, the Garlean Empire's foothold in the Far East.The Lambs of Dalamud also managed to break the barriers on the Amdapor Keep that was raised by the Elementals to prevent any from entering the ruins and obtaining knowledge of forbidden magicks. They used the Keep as their stronghold, and the knowledge within to attempt to bring back their god via magicks and blood rituals. Again, the Warrior of Light ended their plans by storming the ruins and slaying the Voidsent they had called upon. Since this the few remaining Lambs of Dalamud have gone into hiding, and there has been relatively little activity or movement from the cult.In contemporary Eorzean religious traditions, Menphina is known as the Keeper of the Twin Moons, and the arts often refer to the greater moon was a physical manifestation of the goddess herself. Thus was lesser moon which orbited Her styled as either her daughter, her lantern, or, most commonly, her loyal hound.
When Nael van Darnus activated Dalamud and initiated its descent, it took on an ominous red glow that resulted in laypeople spreading many a rumor as to its cause. One particularly prevalent example was that Menphina's hound was bathed in the blood of those who would do his mistress harm, and that soon we too would all be bathed in that blood.With most of the of-age men fighting on the front lines against the Empire, little was to stop the rise of aggressive religious sects and doomsday cults, one particularly dangerous example being the Lambs of Dalamud. They claimed the lesser moon was an entity in and of itself, and that by spilling sacrificial blood would the Hound be lured back to usher in the Seventh (and final) Umbral Era.For this reason, they kidnapped the vulnerable from cities and hamlets and used them to lure adventurers to their rescue, massacring both in the end. Using the blood of their victims as fuel for magick, they wielded powerful thaumaturgy, channel spirits, and summon voidsent to ever increase the slaughter. Even if they themselves were slain in the process, they believed that the Hound was far more pleased with the blood of those slain in His service than the nonbelievers they offered Him, and that He would remember the scent of those that died to return Him to the corporeal realm - descending to the Gates of the Seventh Hell to return their spirits of Eorzea where they would serve him in the final era and inherit Eorzea as their own.The Lambs of Dalamud have since declared that the Satellite's destruction at the Battle of Cartenau was the work of heretics preventing their deity's return and have vowed to avenge Him, continuing their bloodshed in His name. They often take up residence in the realm's forgotten ruins, such as The Tam-Tara Deepcroft and Amdapor Keep, making use of the strong aetheric presences there.

Lore : A Realm Reborn.

When was of nineteen summers, he recalled how the sky seemed more depressing in the shroud. The air seemed stagnant and the sky at times took on an eerie sensation the air during the final days.The sky is now broken by the hideous star that strangely glinted no matter on the flats of Cartenaeu which rallied with allied forces and the imposing Garlean ranks and their strange magitek machinery. Adventurers he, wholly new and familiar, had made a trek from Mor Dhona to the fields. Istrault remained behind in the shrouds, for the strange instances monsters were seen in various numbers and would invade the city and its outskirts prompting some concern for his relatives. He recalled any fugitive monsters alongside the remaining Twin Adder Soldiers.He recalled only fragments from those finale hours; the ashen earth trembling beneath him, recalled the explosion that erupted over the shroud. The cries of the dread wyrm echoed everywhere whilst the fires crept over the lands in their devastation.The infinitely vivid sky was unwholesomely blotted out, and the scented air felt stagnant and keenly smelled of ash mixing with the curious concentration of aether in the air. The ever-encroaching sensation of trepidation slowly came unto realisation once he loftily peered upon the hideous amalgamation that dreaded star-spawn had accumulated at its elevation.Before it could cast the world into nebulous oblivion, all sense of direction had vanished for the elezen if his corporal and mental form was sent further into some uncertain point in time.

After ARR and running to Ishgard he had to toil, his name at times he noticed cause many to raise ttheir brows some mostly elderly looked at the young Elezen somewhat protruded.Some remarked how similar it sounded and commonly wondered a mispronunciation. As on day he would receive an inaccurate order.
Months were spent in tha city and upon being welcome to House Fortemps as wards, the news quickly reached the obscure house Sirreau.Who later in the weeks requested audience with Alphinaud Leveilleur, Tatatru Tara and Istrault Sirois.
During his time in Ishgard he crossed a mysterious family whose named linked to House Sirreau.Accused of fraud and attempting to besmirch the family name upon a brief scuffle with someone in the commonplace, the Matriarch of House Sirreau, Otrinne de Sirreau demanded explanation else a trial would be coerced in grounds of falsehood and should itbe pressed it would castt a pall of doubt on House Fortemp.This resulted in a heated exchange with the Matriarch who seemed convinced that they were nothing more than liars- who wished to the familys name. Not until Istrault seemed ready to quit this place where they reminded of the bold accusation aganist them.
They were trapped Istrault, being outsiders to most gave not much leverage, and Otrinne demanded for such transgressions require to admit there falsehood.Meeting Lady Iceheart had somewhat proved to him their fates were to blindly served to mother crystal. He felt it was foolish to partake in such gifts, even when he joined Alphunaid, Iceheart, and Estenien.Thought he opposed her idaels and stance, he can to fall in love with the woman and determinatio to rejoin the yoke of Dragon and Man.
Thought earlier indifferent upon the stance or neither dragon or man.Ties that an outsider such as he felt not bind to. He felt the matter was professional and took no interest in relationship of the war only the outcome.
Thought the secrets of his family's blood ties did not run truly of Wildwood blood as they say they are, but in fact, duskwight blood is mixed in with few others elements that he is woefully unaware.This made clear by the dragons he encountered in Anyx Trine.
It is something perhaps that they are not known as greatly as the Fortemps and others likewise
although I'm sure he had some idea he had cousins somewhere in the world - under a different name. After the dragonsong war, he long since departed from the Ishgard since his family members fled the city before the final battle.
To be chosen by the light they say, May the Mother Crystal guide thee. Folly
Upon the of the Dragonsong War, every had celebrated - whilist Istrault took to paying respects. In time he cane to join lances with the Convictors and serve.

When the Ala Mhigan resistance finally rose up to the their opessors he took time away. He had taken to the Pugulist guild and latter left to learn the path of the monk. Setting down his lance for he realize the disharmony he has with his inner dragon. This is at a time Istrault is at peak of his turmoil.He did some but for not long as word later arrived that the Scions would be providing succour in the endeavours to wrest control of the Gy Albania from the Garlean Empire. Despite his efforts he wasn't happy to see the Scions at all, somewhat jaded, he has over the months engaged in tournaments and brawls in Ul'dah to keep himself occupied.He set aside his lance and favour his fist and legs to improve his martial prowess. Though he did not like the seedy, clandestine nature of the city Ul'dah he respects that the arts the city obtained remained strong and unchanged during the immutable course of history.Thought warfare became a strong interest as he battle, greater threats the idea of liberating Gyr Albania seemed to be somewhat his main concern as Istrault seemed to more focused on combat. Though he has many tasks including some support in Ishgard assisting in overlooking any anals detailing the en masse of the large. Some information depicted their immediate abscond to the farthest region of the east.
Crossing paths with the Zenos yae Galvus was perhaps an interesting point. A porint that reminded him the thrill of the battle.Though the struggles of Gyr Albania are known he it is inevitable he must be involved with the war and liberation of the country.
