ㅤthis carrd is not for rp.ㅤ

If they knew of Her boundless cruelties, of the heinous magic she weaved within me which now corrodes my soul, would they still revere Her then? Would they still whisper to their children that the Mother of this star guides them, even in sleep? Or would they know that She would no sooner pluck them from their cradles and force them to fight in Her name?

❝ While I walk on, the moon keeps pace beside me: a friend in the water. ❞ — Mizuta Masahide

BASICS

Call me Hal. I've been playing XIV for 6 years. This page is a constant WIP!
I'm most active on Bluesky. You can also find me on Tumblr.
WCIF friendly. Feel free to DM me for whatever you need. Note that some pictures were taken before the DT graphics update, so certain mods may not work anymore.
I do not RP. This carrd is a dumping ground for lore, pictures, and some writing should anyone want to know about my OCs.
You can read about Vrai, my other main OC, here.
Thanks for taking the time to look around ♡

ABOUT

26, Black, she/her
I like playing otome games, writing, reading classic novels, and looking at birds. When I'm not doing those things, I'm usually rollerskating or lifting weights at the gym. I love to work out.
I've been obsessed with Final Fantasy since I could hold my head up, but I like most RPGs in general.
If you've read this far, wow. Thanks. As a treat, you can find me at my 11 year old Personal Tumblr.

STATS

Like most au ra, Etienne cuts a striking figure in the city states of Eorzea. Tall, lean, and almost always sporting a face of indifference, rarely does his mask of impassivity slip to reveal what he’s truly thinking.Etienne carries himself with an almost otherworldly grace. His mannerisms have been hardened by years of travel, yet echoes of a noble upbringing remain in the way that he stands and conducts himself. Every movement he makes is purposeful in its intent; each expression controlled and calculated. Even those close to him are rendered flustered when his intense gaze lingers too long.

❝ When I was a child, I would cower beneath the covers during storms. Now, there's something liberating about being in the center of it all. ❞

The Warrior of Light has never been the boisterous sort, and his reticent nature has only amplified with age. Etienne favors listening rather than speaking, keeping his thoughts undisclosed rather than showing his hand. It's not out of malicious intent that Etienne keeps his silence in most instances, but it is instead a consequence of a strict and uncompromising upbringing. Indeed, Etienne holds his clan’s creed as his guiding philosophy: Words mean nothing to the strong, for it is only through action a warrior’s worth is found.Etienne has been taught since youth to hide all of his emotions behind a façade of detachment. His passions are instead made known through the clashing of steel against foe and ally alike. Decades of perfecting his martial abilities has instilled within him an unquestioning sense of confidence, and though he is not arrogant, he demands respect from those around him and gives it in kind. Etienne holds himself to the highest standard and expects the same of others, refraining from compromising his morals for the fleeting comfort of others. Those who speak in half-circles bore him, the machinations of politicians and rulers vex him. He follows a peculiar code of honor only he understands, and it has guided him through hundreds of battlefields across Etheirys and many more to come.Should one approach him however, they will find him to have a mellow but no-less courteous demeanor. The few words he does speak never veer toward unjust cruelty, and he only ever speaks the truth. To lie to him is to cast aside his trust entirely and be rendered insignificant in his eyes.Beneath his stoicism lies an air of wistfulness that always seems to follow him; the rare smiles he allows himself are laced with a deep-seated melancholia. While Etienne pretends to feel nothing, in truth it is the exact opposite. So intense are his emotions and feelings that they often render him overwhelmed. Because of his sensitive nature, every word Etienne utters is carefully unraveled from the tangle that is his heart and spoken with a weight which rivals that of the world. They are not to be taken lightly.

FACTS

Etienne hails from a now extinct clan known as Kaifu. He can date his heritage back over 500 years to a powerful onmyoji named Ume. Referred to as the "Shepherd of Azim," Ume was the leader of one of five influential families who led the raen's exodus from the Azim Steppe some 490 years ago. There is a leading theory amongst Eorzean historians that she was blessed with the Echo, just like Etienne...
While possessing exceptional martial prowess, Etienne is very lousy with magic. He’s learned over the years to use what little reserves of aether he has in devastating ways, often applying a powerful burst of elementally aligned magic the moment before his weapon meets its mark.
Etienne has a home in an undisclosed location in the Black Shroud. It was a gift from Kan-E-Senna, but he holds no fondness for Gridania or its unwelcoming inhabitants.
Has six pet korpokkurs named Momo, Koko, Mimi, Chiyo, Yuko, and Yuri. He is very bad at coming up with names.
Although he's blessed by Alexander, Etienne cannot alter the flow of time itself. Rather, he can perceive the flow of time differently, allowing him to move at speeds so fast it should be impossible.
Etienne's true name is considered classified information. Not even the Scions know it.
By all accounts, Etienne is technically a prince.
