Artorias D'Argent

Ma'am, I would be deeply honored to have my character drawn.

Name: Artorias Rivendare Race: Hyur (Garlean Empire origin) Class: Lancer/Dragoon Age: 28 Height: 6'1 Weight/Build: Artorias has a medium but defined build due to his years of soldiering for the Empire. Hair: He carries a mane of shoulder length platinum blonde hair with the bangs reaching down to his cheeks. A few rogue strands tend to curl along his jawline. Eyes: Deep sea green. Personality: During his time with the Empire, Artorias often kept a serious and professional air around him. He rarely allowed circumstances to control his actions and instead did what needed to be done to accomplish his tasks. After leaving the Empire the Lancer took on more of a quiet and reserved demeanor often keeping to himself for fear of being discovered for his previous affiliations. At times though he has shown a fiery attitude in response to the teasing he receives from his work partner, especially when he gets into an argument with her. When it comes to combat, Artorias does retain his seriousness and professionalism and tends to take the lead if situation calls for it. More often than not however, he is happy to keep the silent soldier facade and just destroy whatever targets come his way. Pic reference: Considering the fact that this game doesn't have the hairstyle I desire for male Hyur, the closest thing I can think of is Kain Highwind from Final Fantasy IV and Dissidia. 4mTzC5_xAC0

WOW!! Thank you so much for this info, it will help a LOT and I am pretty sure at which point my character defects to the enemy side.

Hmm I could probably find a way to work off that. We shall see.

I will keep that in mind, thanks for letting me know. I am still researching all of this so any input from all of you lore junkies would be helpful before I make the first draft. I would like to be as accurate as possible in order to make this concept work.

Thanks for the quick reply, and yes the Abyss walking was awesome. Anyway for the character history I'm having it that he was born and raised in the Empire with the belief that they were doing a good thing and that the beast races were a threat to the world and that they were nothing but uncivilized bloodthirsty barbarians. Hence him turning the other way when it came to committing acts of genocide. In time though he does get to see the other side of things and eventually turns against the empire when Bahamut is released and pretty much wipes out everyone. At least that is the game plan for this character. As for the names well, I'm pretty much going with the name Artorias Rivendare (I love this last name) but we shall see how it goes. Thanks for the link too, I will be putting it to good use

Like the title says, is there any detail about the Garlean Empire aside from what's on the site? I'm basically looking to see what raced belong to them, are they even Hyur(human), what is the life like for an ordinary citizen, when do they get enlisted in the military and etc... I know they're very technologically advanced, they've invaded twice and released Bahamut. The reason I'm asking is because I'm creating my Dragoon as an ex-Empire character who defected after seeing the carnage the release of Bahamut has wrought. I don't want to write something that would clash with the lore for the Empire either so I'm trying to get as much info as I can. Please and thank you.

Hmm...well I must say Hyur Male - Dragoon. Why? Because I'm totally inspired by Kain Highwind from FF IV As for RP background, I've been toying with the concept of having him being a defector from the Garlean Empire(something he keeps as a secret for obvious reasons) who tries to start a new life as a merc after he saw the Empire's true colors. Though I have much research to do on the lore yet to see if this concept is even possible.
