BACKGROUND
PERSONALITY
+

loyal. empathic. generous. playful. light-hearted.

=

observant. clever. tactical. laidback.

-

manipulative. untrusting. cynical. self-destructive.

Sylvain often comes across as flamboyant, flirtatious and completely outrageous. Always ready with a wink, a bright grin, and probably a terrible pick-up line, he's jovial and friendly and not afraid to wander up and start a conversation with anyone. While he might come off as a little shallow at times, he's an incredibly good listener, a solid shoulder to cry or lean on, and surprisingly adept at picking up on subtle nuances in conversations. Overall, he's a laidback flirt who is just looking to have a good time with those around him, but is always there should someone need a friend.
Abilities
combat.
Sylvain has been training to be a knight and a warrior all his life and has a range of experience in various weapons, hand-to-hand, and battle strategy and tactics, as well as a surprising understanding of magic. He excels at combat in teams or acting as support with fellow soldiers and is versatile and quick to adapt to unexpected circumstances.

He's coming in classed as a Paladin, which is the FE tactical way of saying he's trained in moving swiftly over longer distances, isn't slowed down by difficult terrain, has extensive practice with lance (mastery level), sword, and riding, and is adept at evading both ranged attacks (from archers, etc) and magical/spell attacks. He's had training over the years in multiple classes/styles of fighting to give him a wide range of battle experience and knowledge.
spells.
Sylvain's experience and understanding of magic is rudimentary, at best, but he does have some low level training in both Faith (healing/white magic) and Reason (black/offensive magic).
▷ Faith Skills (Rank C)
    Heal. basic Faith spell that heals an adjacent ally
    Nosferatu. Faith spell that restores health equal to 50% of the damage the spell does to a foe.
    Physic. Faith spell that can restore health to a distant ally.
▷ Reason Skills (Rank C)
    Fire. basic black magic used to attack with flames; launches a fireball at a target and does light damage
    Bolganone. superior black magic used to attack with flames. When cast, this spell will forcefully open up a fissure into the surface of the earth, and trigger an eruption to occur, burning the selected enemy target.
crest.
Sylvain possesses a minor Crest of Gautier he inherited from his bloodline. Gautier was one of the original Ten Elites who first possessed a Crest in the war between Seiros and Nemesis and possessing a Crest is a requirement to inherit the title and seat of Margrave, due to the House's constant defense against the incursion of the northern warlike clans of Sreng, as a Crest is required to safely wield their ancient relic, the Lance of Ruin.

Sylvain's Crest also has the added effect of being able to increase his might/strength in a fight and the damage he creates when using certain attacks, although this isn't something he can control and seems to happen at random.

History: Sylvain's Wiki

Personality answers:
1. Who in your character's canon influenced the most growth in your character? What do they think about this character?
    It feels like cheating to say "Byleth" here but it's true. Byleth is the pivotal point for many of the storylines and character arcs, and in the route I'm bringing him from especially. He switched Houses for her, joining the Golden Deer instead of remaining with his childhood friends from the Blue Lions. Although his feelings for her at the beginning are... complicated, to say the least. In one of his earliest conversations with her, he expresses anger and resentment because she somehow managed to grow up her whole life without being crushed under the expectations that come with having a Crest. "You know what? I'm a bit jealous. The whole time you were growing up, you never knew you had a Crest. You were free. Nobody pretended to like you. I kind of hate you for that." He even goes so far as to threaten her over it, but then laughs the line off as a joke - as he does with so many of the things he says and really means, but doesn't really match up to the lighthearted persona he so frequently wears.

    But as he gets to know her, and what's more, she actually sees past his bullshit to the him he always tries to hide, he starts realizing that his method of keeping everyone at arms length for his own safety isn't actually keeping him all that safe, or making him happy. He's miserable, because of his own choices, and because he thought he had no other options. But Byleth's arrival opens possibilities he hadn't known existed and, allied as she is with Claude and his own radical ideas and plans for Fodlan, he might have a future to look forward to that isn't completely ruled and defined by a broken system he hates.
4. What does your character think about physical appearances? Are they the sort to meticulously primp themselves, or could they not care less?
    Sylvain learned from a very young age that his looks, his body, was a weapon to be honed and wielded, just like his lance. Although he knew his real draw was his Crest and his position as the heir of Gautier, his looks and charms were an extra line of defense to protect himself from all the hungry and ambitious people who vied for him for their own reasons. Wanting to possess him, or use him to lift themselves to a better position in life. Seeing himself as basically a stud whose entire existence was there to continue the Gautier's precious bloodline, it gives him a very jaded and cynical outlook on people and their motivations for wanting to be close to him. And considering he most often wears the mask of a shallow, flirtatious playboy, his looks become just one more tool in his toolbox. He's perfected the art of that casual roguish charm, always ready with an easy smile and a playful wink, or just mussed enough that he might have just tumbled out of someone's bed (which he possibly had).
8. What would it take to truly upset your character, enough that they would act upon their feelings? Are they the sort to forgive?
    Sylvain will actually suffer through a lot of misfortune, malice, and vicious gossip aimed at him without flinching much. He laughs most of it off and just rolls with it, even when his friends occasionally get mad on his behalf. Or get mad at him, for landing himself in some stupid mess in the first place. He never admits it, but I play him as someone who thinks he must deserve some of it at least. He carries a lot of guilt and terrible self esteem, and while he knows he's a terrible person to the people who pursue him, his motive has always been "use them before they can use me" and he doesn't seen any other way out of his unwanted fate.

    What will make him upset is anything negative or cruel aimed at one of his friends, or someone he believes is innocent. He has a deep sense of loyalty and justice (about everyone else except himself) and he will not hesitate in leaping to their defense. One of the best examples of this is his friendship with Dedue, whose people, the Duscar, are hated and blamed for the slaughter of Faerghus' former king. Sylvain doesn't see how that's possible however, and is one of the only few shown to question the accepted story and the racism that comes with it. He refuses to let people talk badly about Dedue or his people and gets upset when he hears anything of the sort. He's a staunch defender of the other man and his unwavering loyalty to their prince, Dimitri.
10. What would be your character's lowest, darkest moment they've lived through? How did they respond to their troubles and face their demons?
    Picking just one for him is pretty hard, actually. But most of them revolve around his family - especially his father, who's strict expectations he can never seem to live up to, and his older half-brother, who hates him for the sheer fact that he was born with a Crest, thereby disinheriting him without even trying. Sylvain was five the first time Miklan tried to kill him, and there were countless attempts throughout Sylvain's childhood. It's glossed over a lot, but there are a few hints as to how bad it got, although Sylvain laughs it off, as he does so many of the things that cause deep pain for him. The rumors that he was a "clumsy child" seem pretty at odds with the young man we come to know later on.

    So there's little love lost between Sylvain and his brother (and the complications of the fact that their father didn't put a stop to it for years) but despite that he didn't hold a grudge. In fact, he confesses, "Even as a little kid, I understood why he was like that. My mere existence stole everything from him." But when Miklan's hatred finally has him stealing the Gautier relic, the Lance of Ruin, and raiding innocent villages at the head of a band of bandits, Sylvain knows he can't just avoid the confrontation. The battle is terrible and what's worse, when Miklan tries to wield the Relic weapon without the protection of a Crest, it transforms him into a hideous demonic beast, his humanity destroyed in an instant and leaving only a monster behind. Sylvain is forced to slay his brother, ending the lifelong rivalry he never wanted, with no chance to find another outcome. He knows he did the right thing, the only path left to him, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel guilt over it, and over the fact that part of him might be a little relieved his brother is finally gone for good.

Inventory: 1) his armor/clothes (shown in appearance images), 2) his lance (the Lance of Ruin), 3) a tea set with a tin of bergamot tea, 4) a small carved horse figurine

    Sylvain's Crest also has the added effect of being able to increase his might/strength in a fight and the damage he creates when using certain attacks, although this isn't something he can control and seems to happen at random.
Samples: Here & here
Player Goals: Sylvain comes from a game where there's a lot of possibility in the characters but it's sometimes not explored or executed very well. His story is one that hit me very strongly in wanting to explore his mindset and motivations, because he's very much a character trapped by his position in life. It's been a delight to take him out of the mire that is his situation and letting him explore and learn who he really is, without being wholly defined by his name, his Crest, and people's perceptions of him. This game in particular drew my attention with the transformation aspect, the different effects that brought along with it, and the possibility of the imprinted bonds with other characters, since he shares so little of himself in his canon.
Soul Choice: I'd like to make him a Carnivora, I think I'd like to lean into the fox/kitsune theme for him!

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Sylvain Gautier
Canon: Fire Emblem Three Houses. Original canonpoint is just before the battle of Gronder, Blue Lions route. He is also a CRAU from Golden Peacock.
Age: he's 27 now.

Background Information:
    Sylvain's Wiki
      Everyone has their own reason to fight. At least I'm honest about mine.
    Background
      Sylvain is the youngest son and heir of the Margrave of Gautier, the northernmost territory in the Kingdom of Faerghus. Despite having an older half-brother, Sylvain is named the heir of their lineage because he was born with the birthright of a Crest, something that sets certain bloodlines apart as descendants of Heroes of legend and allows them to wield the heirloom Relic weapons passed down through the generations. Usurping his elder brother at birth and being his father's favored son sowed a great deal of animosity in his older brother, leaving Sylvain growing up with a dangerous threat at his back, one that nearly cost him his young life on several occasions.

      Growing up seeing the imbalance and unfairness of the system in place - and being forced into a role he never asked for and quite frankly wanted no part of - has Sylvain growing very jaded and cynical from a very young age. Especially because he's so sought after and seen as a commodity to be won and bartered because of his Crest. Lacking any real choice or say in his fate, the young noble becomes an expert at playing the ambitious games of courtly flirtations and quickly grows tired of constantly be used as a pawn. So he decides that if he's going to be pursued and coveted like a prized stud, he's going to play them all at their own game, and if he uses them before they can use him, he's less likely to get trampled and broken. Only he becomes far too good at being the careless shallow playboy until that's all his identity is, and by the time he encounters Byleth, the protagonist of his game, he's in so deep he doesn't see a way - or a reason - to stop.

      His time in the Academy can be a very eye-opening experience for him (depending on what route he ends up on) and while he can't do much to change his terrible reputation (and isn't so keen to do that without considerable guidance and character growth), he does start to question his own actions and the way he's perceived by others around him. Especially the people who become important to him. It's enough to make him want to start changing those perceptions, even if being more will raise people's expectations of him, something that's always gone terribly for him in the past. He believes, ultimately, he will always disappoint those around him because he can never be what they want.

      And then war breaks out and his prince goes missing and is presumed dead. The Empire invades Faerghus and it's only Sylvain and his best friend Felix who manage to rouse a resistance force, using the cold and often-inhospitable terrain in northern Faerghus to keep the Empire from successfully conquering the entire kingdom. Using all the battle tactics and fighting skills instilled in them at the Academy, they manage to hold off the Empire for five long years until Dimitri once more reappears, as does Byleth, and it counts as a turning point in the war, as the forces of Faerghus finally start gathering and fighting back.

      Sylvain is right there on the front lines, supporting his prince and defending his friends from their enemies. The Battle of Gronder, where he is taken from in canon, is a massive three-way battle between all three countries within Fodlan and is set to have them facing off against old friends and allies alike. It's not a battle Sylvain wanted to fight and hoped there would be some other way to negotiate with their old friends in the Alliance and the Empire, but that wasn't to be.
    CRAU
      Luckily for Sylvain, he got kidnapped before the dawn of that battle arose, and he found himself captive in a strange, gilded resort instead. Golden Peacock is a sex game set inside a modern casino where all the characters are assigned to a suit of cards that manifested effects in different ways. As a Diamond, most of those effects were focused on physical changes and influences, whether they be sensual or transformative (as opposed to the mental, emotional, or soul effects of the other suits). They were also given Ranks, similar to levels of prestige or influence within the casino. And while Sylvain started out as a lowly Four, the games at the resort were very familiar to him and not so different than the ones he'd played back home for most of his life, if in a far different setting. It wasn't long before he found himself accumulating influence to start moving up the ranks.

      Along the way, he learned a lot about himself. For the first time in his life, no one gave a damn about who he was, or the fact that he was the Heir of Gautier, which was the single most impactful change he'd experienced in his entire life. It was freeing, and that freedom was far more addicting than anything else the resort could have offered him. He could finally start figuring who Sylvain was, when you separated him from his Crest, and that's a journey he's still in the early stages of. He embraced this with everything in him and this place became a haven for him, despite the fact that he'd been brought there without a choice in the matter. And while the events often stripped choice in varied ways, he would still take that over the cage he'd been trapped in back home.

      This freedom also had turning over a new page in his life, not having to constantly hide behind the mask of the shallow playboy for sheer defense and survival. Though he still embraced a lot of the pleasures and even hedonism of the resort, he finally started letting his walls down with certain close companions, letting himself form real, emotional connections and even relationships, something he'd always sworn off in his life back home. Such things were far too dangerous to allow to blossom and grow.

      While he is still absolutely a playful flirt with a tendency for innuendo at the most inappropriate moments possible, he's also finally allowed himself to become more, and to let people see behind the walls he's always kept so carefully erect. (heh. see?) While it might sound a little cliche to say he finally let himself become a real person and not just a caricature of himself, that is still the simplest way of phrasing it. And while he still has a long way to go when it comes to leaving behind his bad habits, his toxic cynicism, and his self-destructive and self-sabotaging ways, he's at least started along his journey, helped especially by those he became close to in that world, who had the patience to put up with him while he started to figure this out.

      He still finds it hilarious that he had the most constructive character growth and freedom in his entire life... while captive in a sex casino.

Personality:
    1) Tell us about who your character is and what someone’s first impression would be upon meeting them.
      Much of this was covered above but this has changed from canon after his time in Peacock. He's more likely to assess who he's approaching and adapt accordingly, rather than instantly fall back on old masks that only showed a two-dimensional version of him. A shallow playboy who had no interest in commitment or anything real. While he's more than willing to flirt and tease his way through conversations, it holds less of the malice and manipulation it once did. And he's more inclined to let his own personality and intelligence show - something he'd kept hidden from even his closest friends back home. When he smiles, it's more likely to reach his eyes and be real, not a show he's putting on for someone's benefit.

      For those who put effort into his character growth in later chapters of the game, this side sometimes comes out more visibly there, but with his in-game growth, he's arriving in a better place than he ever manages to reach in canon.
    2) What is a driving force your character has? What goals do they have, what motivates them, etc?
      At one point, Sylvain's honest answer would have been 'spite'. Growing up, knowing he wasn't going to get a say in his future, being pursued like a prize to be won, Sylvain tosses out any idea of 'goals' or motivations. This pissed off his friends, who were very driven and couldn't stand that he didn't care about anything. He worked hard to make sure everyone underestimated him so no one would have expectations, because that made problems for him down the road and he didn't want to deal with their anger or disappointment. Along with that, he had no expectations for himself. he floated aimlessly, at least until Byleth showed up and started showing him that maybe his life choices needed some readjusting.

      Maturity and war handled the rest, because in the years after the Academy, he was too busy trying to survive to worry about what came after. And honestly? He wasn't expecting to survive the war, so it was probably a moot point anyway.

      Now, though, this is very much going to be his journey. I said earlier that he's starting to figure out who Sylvain is, outside of all the bullshit he wallowed in all his life. He doesn't actually know the answer to this question yet, but I'm looking forward to him figuring it out.
    3) What are their flaws as a character? What is something they've messed up, or have done that they regret?
      Unfortunately, he is full of regrets. He regrets most of his choices growing up, even if he doesn't see a viable alternative. It's an odd internal conflict because while he will be the first person to admit he treated people terribly and made terrible life choices, he can't imagine any different outcome than the path he walked. He can't see how he wouldn't have been shaped and molded into exactly the same person even if he'd tried to do things differently.

      As for his biggest flaws:
      • 1. Cynicism. For much of his life, Sylvain was exposed to some of the worst traits in humanity. Between the murderous hatred of his brother and his father's greedy ambitions for an heir, he was shaped by the grim understanding that people wanted him, not for who he was or what he could do, but because he was one of the "lucky" few born with a Crest. That idea was enforced after adolescence, when he was pursued by females who thought landing the Heir of Gautier would be their meal ticket. It shaped his outlook in that he didn't need to push himself beyond the bare minimum because the only thing important about him was his Crest. "He" was inconsequential. It gave him a jaded outlook, expecting everyone to have ulterior motives, whether it be friendship or anything more. "These girls don't love me. They only love the potential rewards of loving me." He also says, "Now women smile at me for the same reason my parents adored me and my brother wanted me dead."

        It's also his reasoning behind keeping people at arm's length and not letting them see/know the real him. He never lets himself get attached and made sure to keep anyone else from getting attached to him, sabotaging short-term relationships or one-night stands before anyone could get ideas of more. Using them before they could use him, hurting them before he could get hurt. This is shown in his social links with fellow students, in that he has the largest number of social interactions in the game, but the fewest that deepen past surface level.
      • 2. Deceit/Manipulation. Sylvain is a master of wearing many masks to hide who he truly is, never letting anyone peer beneath the surface. It's a defense mechanism because he has a lot of ugly reactions and thoughts he stifles. A lot of anger at the unfairness of how things are that he doesn't see any way to change. The feeling of being trapped in a situation he didn't want and never chose, but unable to get free of. But he hides all of that behind a grin and easy laughter, always having a joke or an outrageous suggestion or a string of flirtatious lines to distract from the truth of him. He makes himself appear shallow because then no one looks too closely and picks up on how damaged he actually is.

        He's worn those masks so long and so well that even his closest friends believe it to be real and don't realize there's more happening under the surface. And he's done it so long that even those who do know him well aren't sure when he's being genuine or offering empty flattery. He's done this himself, and seems resigned to the fact that he's not going to change people's opinions about him. He strings people along, plays his own games of mental chess with those he doesn't trust. Because at least if he's controlling the pieces, he can't be turned into a pawn himself. Even if he believes that will still be his inevitable - and unavoidable - fate one day.
      • 3. Envy. As a result of both of the previous vices, it's also resulted in this one, directed at those that have avoided falling into the same trap. It's shown in his conversations with Byleth. "You know what? I'm jealous. The whole time you were growing up, you never knew you had a Crest. You were free. Nobody pretended to like you. I kind of hate you for that." He even goes so far as to threaten them over it, but then laughs it off as a joke. But his reality makes him feel trapped and he's envious of those who escaped sharing his fate, who don't have to question every interaction they have with suspicion and doubt. "Those of us with Crests have been envied and desired but never for who we are. I understand the value of my blood. Believe me, I hate how much I understand it. I know better than to dream of being free from this burden. If I thought I could have escaped, I would have tried. I'd leave behind House Gautier and the life of a nobleman and anybody who knew I had a Crest."


Abilities:
    Combat
      Sylvain has been training to be a knight and a warrior all his life and has a range of experience in various weapons, hand-to-hand, and battle strategy and tactics, as well as a surprising understanding of magic. He excels at combat in teams or acting as support with fellow soldiers and is versatile and quick to adapt to unexpected circumstances.

      He's coming in classed as a Paladin, which is the FE tactical way of saying he's trained in moving swiftly over longer distances, isn't slowed down by difficult terrain, has extensive practice with lance (mastery level), sword, and riding, and is adept at evading both ranged attacks (from archers, etc) and magical/spell attacks. He's had training over the years in multiple classes/styles of fighting to give him a wide range of battle experience and knowledge.
    Magic
      Sylvain's experience and understanding of magic is rudimentary, at best, but he does have some low level training in both Faith (healing/white magic) and Reason (black/offensive magic).

      Faith Skills (Rank C)
    • Heal. basic Faith spell that heals an adjacent ally
    • Nosferatu. Faith spell that restores health equal to 50% of the damage the spell does to a foe.
    • Physic. Faith spell that can restore health to a distant ally.
    • Reason Skills (Rank C)
    • Fire. basic black magic used to attack with flames; launches a fireball at a target and does light damage
    • Bolganone. superior black magic used to attack with flames. When cast, this spell will forcefully open up a fissure into the surface of the earth, and trigger an eruption to occur, burning the selected enemy target.
    Crest of Gautier
      Sylvain possesses a minor Crest of Gautier he inherited from his bloodline. Gautier was one of the original Ten Elites who first possessed a Crest in the war between Seiros and Nemesis and possessing a Crest is a requirement to inherit the title and seat of Margrave, due to the House's constant defense against the incursion of the northern warlike clans of Sreng, as a Crest is required to safely wield their ancient relic, the Lance of Ruin.

      Sylvain's Crest also has the added effect of being able to increase his might/strength in a fight and the damage he creates when using certain attacks, although this isn't something he can control and seems to happen at random.
Inventory:
    Because Sylvain is a CRAU he'll be coming in with no inventory whatsoever. His previous game, Golden Peacock, had all characters arriving naked and with none of their possessions from home, so he won't have anything on him to be taken along with him, outside of the personal items he gained in his time there.



ARMADA SELECTION

Paladins would be my first choice for him. While Sylvain can fit in either, as a knight of Faerghus, he already comes very Paladin-coded (plus Paladin is already one of his two main specializations in his canon build). Ironically, if given the choice, he would have probably picked Corsair, mostly because he has a fondness for breaking rules, but that doesn't change the fact that his knightly virtues (the ones he lets himself have, at any rate) are very deeply ingrained in him.

On the OOC side of things, since I was chucking Varric at the Corsairs, I wanted a little balance between them.

Wriothesley
» » » armwriostle
Among the first people Sylvain met in the resort, he and Wriothesley arrived with the same rank and designation and have moved up the ranks together ever since. One of the few people to break completely through his walls, Sylvain thinks of him as his best friend. With a lot of benefits.
AFFECTION

STRENGTH
Olivine
» » » massochism
Olivine was someone Sylvain felt protective of from the very start and he took the priest under his wing with the worry that he might be too gentle for the games this place liked to play. But there was more to Olivine than he lets show and the pair of them have had plenty of time to grow close throughout their time together here.
AFFECTION
TRUST
SUPPORT
STRENGTH
Kaveh
» » » indigently
Sylvain met Kaveh when he was mourning the loss of a close friend. Bonding over that, the blond quickly became someone Sylvain felt protective of, becoming fast friends and also worrying about Kaveh's adaptation to the games in this place. Anyone who got flustered that easily was definitely in over their head.
AFFECTION
TRUST
SUPPORT
STRENGTH
Baizhu
» » » snakelace
A healer Sylvain has way too much fun throwing off this game, the pair of them have a playful relationship which often tangents off into the pair trying to out-distract one another. So far, Sylvain is pretty sure he's winning.
AFFECTION

STRENGTH
Dropped
Basch

The partner who had the deepest impact on Sylvain in his time here, they became close on day one and were inseperable from then on, until both became statues for an extended period of time. When Sylvain returned, Basch did not.
AFFECTION
TRUST
SUPPORT
STRENGTH
Eiden

A friend from Olivine's world, Eiden and Sylvain hit it off like a house on fire. Definitely far too much alike, these two tended to be the instigators in their little group of friends.
AFFECTION
TRUST
SUPPORT
STRENGTH
Felix
» » » putupyourdukes
His best friend from home, Sylvain was startled to find him here - and very concerned, because Felix had never had any interest in the games Sylvain had such an affinity for, and he could only worry how he would fare in a world so focusedon exactly that.
AFFECTION
TRUST
SUPPORT
STRENGTH
Reign
» » » eaudevamp
A vampire with a surprisingly shy and quiet personality, Reign was another one of the friends Sylvain took under his wing to look after. Reign was a delight to introduce to so many of the pleasures he's never gotten to experience before.
AFFECTION
TRUST
SUPPORT
STRENGTH
Seimei

A kitsune with a tendency for mischief and trickery, Seimei was a dangerous combination when paired with Sylvain. The two of them were always on the lookout for some new bit of fun and chaos they could cause.

TRUST
SUPPORT
STRENGTH
Hilda
» » » theidlemaiden
Another friend from home, even though they'd never gotten very close back there. Sylvain wasn't too worried about Hilda, since she was far more clever than she let on to most people, but he kept an eye on her anyway.
AFFECTION

STRENGTH
Rinne

A redheaded idol, Sylvain became friends with him despite not understanding half the references out of his mouth. And because he had some strange ideas about what he could play with or not, also became Sylvain's fiance for a short while.

CHARACTER APPEARANCE
Notable features:
▷ Has a thick muscular build (example: 1, 2, 3, 4) from a lifetime spent honing himself for both seduction and war.
▷ Very aware of his appearance but manages that casual attraction of looking like he never spends all that much time on it, while absolutely playing to all his assets. Tends to go for comfort above style. (Wardrobe Samples)
▷ Has thick red hair - a telltale attribute shared by his family - and in the resort, he's let it grow out a little longer than normal, enough to gather back in a little ponytail or manbun.
▷ His eyes are brown/amber and he has a smattering of freckles across the bridge of his nose and cheeks.
▷ Scars:
    ▶ Stab wound in his side where he took a spear in defense of a friend.
    ▶ Jagged line down over his ribs from a blade.
    ▶ Rake of a wyvern's claw down the back of his left shoulder.
    ▶ Several other smaller various scars scattered all over his body, as well as several small arrow punctures.
Additions since arriving at the resort:
▷ Diamond Suit Tattoo: a spear with a diamond-shaped head, located on his right pec.
▷ Pierced ears. He favors a mix of both gold and silver earrings for them. Most commonly seen wearing these.
▷ Pierced nipples. Tends to stick to plain gold hoops unless otherwise stated.
▷ Tattoos:
    ▶ Inner right forearm, pair of foxes curled up together, one red fox and one desert fox. Basch has a matching one on his left arm.

Details
My Self-Summary

Back home, I'm a noble, the son of a Margrave, but for most of my life I've been a knight and a soldier. I'm mostly just looking for a good time and people who are open-minded enough to enjoy it with me, maybe try out some new things. There's a lot here I've never gotten to experience and I'm interested in changing that.



Outside of that, I'm a connoisseur of fine food and fine teas. I enjoy cooking, gardening, horseback riding, chess, and discussing a wide variety of topics, whether it's art, fiction, theoretical ideals, or more esoteric topics.

My Future Plans

Enjoying myself to the fullest here. Making conections and meeting new people. Experiencing all this place has to offer and finding those interested in exploring it with me.

My Talents

Varied and many. I had a robust interest in pursuing pleasures of all sorts back home and I hope to keep expanding that knowledge and skillset here.

Favorite Books, Movies, Music, and Food

I enjoy books on a variety of topics, but I've never seen a movie. Plays and operas are far more common in my world and a comparible form of entertainment. I like a wide variety of dishes and have a fondness for trying new dishes from distant places. I have a fondness for spices and rich flavors.

My Ideal Partner

I'm very adaptable and tend to adjust to whoever I'm with, making this a very broad category, since I have a varied taste in companions as well, depending on my mood. I find people interesting and like as many varieties here as I do in my favorite dishes.
