ㅤa knightㅤ will abide cowardice, because fear is necessary. through only that may they push forward to allow courage. there is no failure, just knowledge gained and a life.

ㅤ❛ㅤ I could tell you that I function on justice , like the very many to claim to do what's 'right'. I would be lying to you. If the Fury's tongue was sharper than her spears and if her shadow extended beyond her, you can consider it my post. ㅤ❜ㅤ

⚔︎ rule 001.

⸺ manners. ⸺

  under no circumstances     do i tolerate folk being a dickhead. how i describe one as such would include the following: transphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, misandry, racism, ableist and any other forms of bigotry. those that treat others with kindness and respect will gain that in return. i don't deal with folk that don't, to either the mun or the character themselves.

⚔︎ rule 002.

⸺ communication. ⸺

  i am a very quiet individual     but will always, always communicate when i cannot or can do something. likewise, i will communicate whether something makes me uncomfortable or not. i, especially, expect the same out of those that want to roleplay with vincent. the moment you hit me with something that could have been solved from a talk, i will not be entertaining it.

⚔︎ rule 003.

⸺ conflict. ⸺

  i will generally not     put vincent in any form of conflict unless it is discussed ooc. it can be stressful for the mun if they aren't entirely ready to roleplay that sort of thing. any poking or prodding at vincent will be met with nonchalance or him plainly ignoring your character. if he is being intimidating, rest assured it will not go beyond said intimidation.

⚔︎ rule 004.

⸺ shipping. ⸺

  good luck. i mean that.     he is not easy to romance and that is intentional. he has a 'work comes first' attitude when it comes to relationships but he's not infallible. it's easier to get him in bed than it is to truly woo him. no, the helmet is not coming off during sex.

⚔︎ rule 005.

⸺ dos ⸺

  do feel free to do the following:     walk up and interact with vincent provided that he is alone. ask to interact if he is already engaged with another person. feel free to let the mun know what kind of roleplay that you're looking for.

⚔︎ rule 006.

⸺ don'ts / dni ⸺

  do not do the following or do not interact:     do not try to take his helmet off. i will find any reason and any justification to keep it on him; it's part of the mystery for a reason. don't force connection. don't interact if you're not a fan of prose bordering on purple. don't interact if you only want erp. don't interact if you want to befriend me for art, music, gposes or anything else that's remotely artistic.

❝ you are laid low and for what? if not honour, then what? proof? proof that you're still useful? did you prove anything to yourself? ❞

  PERSONALITY    vincent is deeply intense and from a first glance, seems entirely unapproachable. even from the first quiet, deep and smooth words he speaks, it will be brusque and it will be concise. to the point. the man is not friendly, nor is he even nice. but he believes in what is the 'better thing to do' in any given situation. logical and hiding more than he likes to give, the man can be an insanely loyal companion provided he softens to someone.

⚔︎ letter

everyone is gone. i don't know if this letter will get to you. but everyone is gone. i wanted to make sure that you could receive this, i don't know if you have. if you will. if it even all makes sense. but, if you do: you won't see me alive. that's a guarantee. and if you do receive this, then you were right. we should have listened to you instead of doubting. sometimes you can't see that the dagger's been to your neck the whole time. we couldn't see it. just the man it belonged to.there's a lot that i wish i could have said to you in the flesh, however much of it you have left. but 'sorry' hangs on my lips the most in whispers. sometimes i wanted to convey my appreciation for you. i know you wouldn't have believed it though. always humble. i can hear you now. 'there's no need for that.' maybe i need to have a death wish that you actually take a fucking compliment for once. that'd be nice.some of us will be here when you get back. i hope we're easy to bury. i hope he left us decent enough to have a proper burial. you'd think with as charming as his smile was, he'd have the decency to consider our own beauty, huh? i can't expect anything from a traitor, though. and i can't expect that you won't try to get some kind of revenge. you've always been that kind of person. one where justice prevails.it was a good idea, you know. keeping him at arms length. i don't think he knows where my incantations are. but you do. i hate to ask this of you, you know i do. but take them. he took roi's and tour's. he took cavalier's. fou ran. but he's relentless. i don't think fou would have made it too far. i could be surprised. you always said i was bad at predicting outcomes.- dame.

⚔︎ hound

there are stories crawling around about the legion of ash. some say they're boogeymen meant to follow the sins of the inquisition. some say they're archbishop thordan's secret dragonkillers. others will simply say that they don't exist. that they've never existed. because if they did, then the war would have been over eons ago. innocent people wouldn't have had to have been killed by baseless accusations. still, these things happened.heretics still had a presence, they still ran rampant. commonfolk still died. so they can't be real. but that's what would have been said if the people that said it had been fools. i know because i've met one. where's there's one, the rest of them are there. they're never alone, always in a pack, like wolves.i met a woman who called herself dame. she had the most beautiful smile and a voice like honey asking me if i had noticed anything odd about inquisitor marieaux — and i had to admit that i did. for if it wasn't the honeyed voice, it would have been the eerie hues behind her boring a hole into my head. if charm didn't work, intimidation would have.that said, i never saw inquisitor marieaux from that point on. i didn't think to ask anyone and i think if i were to try to find out now, i'd find nothing on the situation. so, if you ever do come across a sharp tongued woman, bear in mind that her hound might be seated just beyond her.

⚔︎ runic arts

rune fencing is an art originally found in the remote areas of gyr abania and thus, the practice is an off-shoot of what hydaelyn knows as 'red magic'. the magic has a more versatile skillset, though is unique to the user depending on the spells they discover themselves through practice. rune fencers will write spells on their skin in ink in different configurations and essentially make their own spells to use in battle or to aid another.when the spells are confirmed and mastered, then they are carved into the skin and made permanent, locking that particular spell in as the user's possession. these spells may be taken provided that some of the former owner's aether is placed within a crystal and used as a conduit. there are cases in which the aether of another may be intrinsically bound to another and the crystals are not needed, however, and are laced within the carving of the runes themselves, the aether concentrated within that area. this is a rare case and is not the majority. that said, the positioning of the runes are usually a secret to most but the user. the general area is considered to be an 'open secret'.these rune fencers first came to ishgard centuries ago, wanting to help with the dragonsong war. they were not welcome with open arms, but they were begrudgingly accepted after their skills were demonstrated against an attack on the main city. since then, they have been utilized in different areas of the holy see, though have been kept in a perpetual 'boogeyman' status because of their grand utility.

⚔︎ bonds

† † † † † †

dame.

fellow ashen templar

silver-tongued. honeyed words. vincent has not enough words to describe this woman and even if he did, she would have wanted him to speak from the heart and directly to her face. he has no more opportunities to do so. and he never got to say that he loved her.

fou.

fellow ashen templar.

paranoid. good-natured and passionate. vincent is searching for the name he knows as fou. it's only a matter of time before he's found by someone else. someone that vincent doesn't want to find the man.

pion

betrayer. scorned. despised.

ruiner. he of annihilation, he has taken everything. everything. vincent will not retrieve it back, but best believe that those spells will belong in the rightful hands and pion — in the ground.

Kallias

father. reconnected.

ever wild and free. play by no rules but his own. a good man, an honest man. interest shifts in him like the tide — and his crooked grin and magic, inherited. vincent takes after him the most and frequently do they bicker about things that don't matter anymore. a good-natured relationship.

lady veilsong

mother. matriarch. oppressive.

a woman who knows nothing but an iron fist and control by any means possible. a strategic genius, fond curator of the esoteric. vincent is loved by her provided he acts the role of a perfect son. and to her, he is, even if his ocean blues resemble a mirthless melody.

⚔︎ strange magic

⸺ rare ⸺

one might notice how the man doesn't necessarily cast in a standard way. it's easy to think that he's a red mage, but he doesn't have a focus at all. just a long sword and something else. he might speak to your character about magic provided it's odd or reminds him a touch of his own.

most ishgardian knights and the inquisition knows about the legion of ash, though they are known mostly as a ghost tale told to inquisitors to take their duties seriously. the rumours say that an ashen templar is never alone. they hunt in packs like wolves. they are disbanded now, recently, but the legends remain.

⚔︎ sparring man

⸺ common ⸺

vincent frequently partakes in fight clubs or sparring in general if only to hone his skills. if you see him around or have watched him fight, you might want to test your skills against him and see how you fare. he doesn't mind a bit of sparring when the mood hits just right.

throughout the world, one might find the man in a pack with his wolves. he standardly has a white wolf, eir and a black wolf, kari. the easiest way for vincent to trust one is through his wolves, though mind, it'll always depend on which wolf.
