✦ personality .

Often descripted as alof, and withdrawn, Yvelont wasn't one for socializing even form a young age. He founds satisfaction in physical activities, and pushing himself to his limit. He has a rather perfectionist idea for both himself, and to those around him. At times it can cause friction with those he loves. Even if he comes from a place of good intentions. Because of the nature of war, Yvelont finds that he tends to hold people at arm's legnth, and struggles to connect to others around him, floundering a bit in conversation. Or at least he used to, within the past year due to gentle coaching, and patience, Yvelont's more cold demenor has started to thaw. A still quiet, and reserved man, he is starting to enjoy the little things in life.

✦ㅤㅤStoic EspressionㅤㅤWhile Yvelont is not expressionless,per say, he does tend to hold a more neutral expression while during casual conversations, and moments of idleness. It's only when a rise of emotions ( be it positive or negative ) does his facial expression starts to change. Though, he is quick with a frown at times.

✦ㅤㅤBlue EyesㅤㅤA striking pair of blue eyes that are contrasted ( and usually hidden by ) his raven colored hair. Though in recent moons, he has started to wear his hair back so his deep blue eyes are more noticeable now.

✦ Statistics .

✦ Combat Knowledge .

✦ㅤㅤRoleㅤㅤTank / DPS✦ㅤㅤStyleㅤㅤAggressive✦ㅤㅤWeaponㅤㅤGunblade / Lance

✦ Experience & Training .

Yvelont has been fighting from a relatively young age. He was first trained by his mother, Ufette Durendaire, in the way of the lance until a tutor was hired to help hone his skilled even further. He then joined the Durendaire milita at the age of 16, and was knighted as part of the Knights Dragoon at 22. Many years later, Yvelont wished to drop the lance, and picked up the gunblade to learn a new discipline. Though, he learns through more from self-teaching, Nemisae De Durael acts as a mentor of sorts.

✦ Signature Abilities .

✦ㅤㅤHigh JumpㅤㅤA signature move of the Knights Dragoon. Yve deploys it as much as he can, jumping several fulms into the air, and landing back down on his opponent with his land pointing down. Usually a very strong attack.

✦ㅤㅤAether charged CartridgesㅤㅤLike it says on the tin, the gunblade has a gun at the hilt that takes cartridges loaded with aether. Usually charged during off time ahead of scheduled battles. Used often; either paired with a swing of the blade, or as a long distance attack. Whichever works.

✦ Timeline .

✦ Childhood .

✦ㅤㅤLocationㅤㅤIshgard✦ㅤㅤAgeㅤㅤ~9 summers✦ㅤㅤOccupationㅤㅤChild

Born in the Durendaire Manor close to the Jewel Cozier, Yvelont was born on the 27th day of the 6th Umbral moon in the evening. He was given the namesake of his mother's brother who passed two years before he was born.2 years later, his younger sister, Clementine, was born. He was enthralled with her, constantly trying to help as best as a big brother could. Though, being so young there was not much a two year old could do, and there was only so interesting a baby could. During this time, Yvelont took to following his older brother, Ostrort, and his older cousin Carvallain. His brother quickly outgrew as he was nearly 6 years older than him, but his cousin ( who was only a year or two older ) was close with him. Thick as thieves, they were. Constantly following Ostrort, or playing at knights in the courtyear. Or, when they could manage to get away, run along the Jeweled Cozier chasing each other.As Yvelont grew older, and older, he took the stories that his mother told him of her time as a Knights Dragoon to heart. He loved the image of being a knight like that, and as soon as he turned 7 summer, he begged, and begged, and begged his parents to allow him to start training as soon as he could. At first, it was just his mother, and him doing training excerises to get used to the weapon in his hands.

✦ Of The Crimson Mirage .

✦ㅤㅤRarityㅤㅤCommon✦ㅤㅤUseㅤㅤFree to Use

Not too long after Yvelont's disownment, he started work as an adventurer. Solo work that matched his specialization was hard to come by, but after being approached by Kris Vaufon, he started working with an adventurer group by the name The Crimson Mirage. The group tends to work mostly in Coerthas, and the Black Shroud, but do venture out should the work call for such things. Yvelont can often be found running around doing odd jobs now, and again.

✦ About Me .

✦ㅤㅤNameㅤㅤMichael✦ㅤㅤAgeㅤㅤ31✦ㅤㅤPronounsㅤㅤThey / He✦ㅤㅤData CenterㅤㅤCrystal✦ㅤㅤWorld ServerㅤㅤBalmung✦ㅤㅤTimezoneㅤㅤEST

Hello !! I have been playing FFXIV now since a little before Endwalker, and have been rping within the game for the past 3~ish years, though I have been rping in general since my early teens. I prefer para rping over script rping.FFXIV isn't the only game I play as I have an interest in ( and take inspiration from ) FFXVI, Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 77, the Dragon Age Franchise, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. So while I do play this game often, I try to take breaks to either focus on other things, and I am not available all the time. But I am always happy to make time !!

✦ Seeking .

ㅤ➙ ㅤNew RP Partnersㅤ 🗸
ㅤ➙ ㅤShort-Term Scenesㅤ 🗸
ㅤ➙ ㅤLong-Term Plotsㅤ 🗸

Favorite Genres: Mostly into slice-of-life rps, but I am interested in some mystery, and fighting rps. Just trying to build a well rounded life for Yve, and interested in MOST rp genres.

✦ Approach .

ㅤ➙ ㅤTellsㅤ 🗸
ㅤ➙ ㅤWalk-Up RPㅤ 🗸
ㅤ➙ ㅤOOC Chattingㅤ 🗸

Policy: I generall only rp when the rp tag is on and/or I am at venues and/or we have a scene set up. Otherwise, anything happening in game will be considered ooc n me just playing the game.

✦ Rule I .

✦ㅤㅤAge of RP.ㅤ

I am not looking to rp with anyone under the age of 20. I would perfer others who are 25+, but 20 is the youngest I am willing to rp with. Just a preference of mine that I except to be respected. If you I find out you have lied about your age, I will cut communication.

✦ Rule II .

✦ㅤㅤIC does not equal OOC.ㅤ

Sometimes characters act in unsavory / problematic / destructive ways, or hold views that can be problematic. Keep in mind that does not mean I agree with my characters, and I will do that same for you.

✦ Rule III .

✦ㅤㅤNo Patience for Bigotry.ㅤ

While I do maintain that IC =/= OOC, I do still reserve the right to not talk to characters that make me uncomfortable, as well as end rp partnership over OOC conversations that make me uncomfortable. Basically as long as you aren't racist, homophobic, transpbic, etc, etc, etc, there should be nothing to worry about.

✦ Rule IV .

✦ㅤㅤAvailable Time.ㅤ

I am in the Eastern Timezone in the USA. Primarily available during the evening on weekdays ( except for Thurday, I have DnD during that time, and I would like time to wind down afterwards ) or the weekend for rp, but I can be reached through discord throughout the day when available.

✦ Rule V .

✦ㅤㅤShipping.ㅤ

At the moment, I am not interested in shipping Yvelont with anyone else seeing as he has one partner, and is courting another. This does not mean that it will be a flat out NO from me, it's just not something I am seeking. Either way, I tend to ship based off chemistry more than anything. If I feel like our characters have romantic chemistry, I will be open to the possibility to it.

✦ Rule VI .

✦ㅤㅤContact Info.ㅤ

You can pretty much contact me exclusively through discord under the user name whited0g. I cannot guarantee that I will answer you if we have not rped in the past as I prefer to have at least some IC foothold before talking OOC with others. Mostly so I have a frame of reference for what is to be expected in conversations.
