As an Ishgardian Elezen, he is fairly pale with dark scraggly hair and deep blue eyes. He stands at just under seven fulms tall and his muscled form weighs roughly two hundred ponze. A stray claw from a Dravanian scars the left side of his face, recently seen to occasionally glow a dark red during battle. Multiple scars from dragons, arrow punctures and blades are scattered throughout his torso, arms and legs. He is often seen wearing heavy plate and leather armour covered in repaired areas of damage. Or elegant outfits befitting one of the Ishgardian Nobility. Upon his person or being brandished in his hands is a rather large, well kept family claymore "Missletainn" or a simple knight's blade.
History
Born as the only son to a minor house within the Ishgardian Nobility, Valtemont Ashkevron spent most of his early years training as a Knight alongside his father. Participating in the Dragonsong war as most did, though rarely engaging in legendary battles of notability. His family were mostly known for their support of the unfortunate souls within the Brume, his mother and sisters often seen there providing charity work.The war soon started to weigh on Valtemont, even more so after a botched attack on a camp of heretics left himself grievously wounded and his father killed. Which then was compounded upon when one of the Heavens Ward accused his mother and sisters of heresy. His wounds kept word of their trial from him as well as preventing his intervention even if he had known. He returned to an empty home.With the severity of his wound granting him leave from duty, Valtemont silently left Coerthas and headed out into the world. Travelling mostly alone for several years with nothing but the goal of setting right whatever injustice he came across. He was often seen in any number of locales across Eorzea, taking on quests or keeping to his family tradition of charitable aid.When word of Nidhogg's downfall had reached his ears, Valtemont returned to the city of his birth. Driven by a twinge of guilt due to thoughts that he had abandoned his duty as an Ishgardian. The sudden influx of turmoil within the City State during the very end of the Dragonsong War exemplifying that guilt. Driven to redeem himself, he then spent all of his efforts in supporting the Temple Knights and the Commander ever since. Reclaiming his place as a member of the House of Lords to help ensure a better Ishgard, just as his parents had wanted.
Personality
In an effort to keep his past behind him, he often keeps a kindly smile upon his face. Maintaining his family's charitable nature and helpful disposition. However he can often become sour when certain parts of his past is referenced. And so he keeps that mostly to himself, hiding behind awkward jokes and small flirts or by simply keeping his grumpy resting face as unpleasant as possible to keep such questions from happening in the first place. Such grumpiness has started to lessen over recent months however. He has a strong sense of personal honour and a very loyal side to him, which he makes good use of keeping those who are close to him safe.
Relationships and Friends
These are the people that he considers to be important to him.-Ruby Kurosawa (Friend): A Bartending chaos Miqo'te whose antics have managed to endear him to the lovely lady. He enjoys the softness of her ears and the comfort of her purrs. Along with her willingness to simply just jump into his lap for seemingly no reason.-Midna Astraeus (Friend): An old friend who he met back during the end of the Dragonsong War. A good soul he feels he can trust, especially if there's a job of dangerous proportions.
RP Hooks
Valtemont is cordial and friendly in most cases, though so much time alone has left him rather inept in starting conversation. Years of wandering as many lands as he could has led him to be spotted in any random locale. However, these are some places or situations one might find him in most. All are free to walk up to him.-The Holy See of Ishgard and the surrounding lands of Coerthas, either helping old family friends or simply enjoying his homeland.
-Any of the main city states, buying supplies or getting repairs.
-Anyone who happens to be affiliated or had dealings with the Temple Knights long before the end of the Dragonsong War or shortly after, might have run into him once or twice.
-Citizens of the Brume if they are old enough possibly could remember the charitable deeds his family had done.
-Those with keen aether sense might find his well looks rather strange if he's in an emotional state.
Contact and OOC
Well hello there, I am often known as Sullin or Sully. And if you really know me, The Mighty Sullin the Kneeslayer! Valtemont here is open to pretty much all forms of RP as long as it doesn't get TOO dark or gross. I do tend to want to stick decently to the established in game lore, however some bending isn't a problem. Here to have fun after all. I have several years of RP experience and I am no stranger to either on the fly improv or a fully put together campaign. Walk ups are generally accepted if I'm hanging around usual RP areas, even if I don't have the tag on (As I tend to forget it's a thing...) Either way, I hope to enjoy the company of many great new friends. Feel free to add me on any of the below if you're interested in RP. I also use Mare, ask for my code!
