Silvaire Komione


"Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes."

Male, Elezen, 34 years old

BIOGRAPHYHailing from Ishgard, Silvaire came from a lesser noble family, House Rontremont, that is pledged to House Dzemael. Rather than becoming a knight, his father had high hopes that his son would become an architect like others in Dzemael. No expense was spared on tutors, though Silvaire had little interest in his studies. He wasn't a stupid child by any means, but he simply had other plans for his life. However, he complied with his father's wishes and pursued the occupation.Being an architect did allow him to witness the state of places like the Brume. Seeing how other Ishgardian citizens fared stirred something in Silvaire. In his teenage years, he became outspoken in his opinions, which were that the noble houses—both high and low—needed to do more and give back to society. It didn't take him long to set his sights on the Orthodox Church, accusing them of being self-serving and lazy in their efforts as well. Though his language against the nobility was tolerated and overlooked—others called him a delusional product from House Rontremont—, his opinions on the church were not accepted.He was "politely" asked to either practice silence and master it, join the church as a means of reformation, or leave Ishgard entirely. Not wanting to comply with the other options, Silvaire packed his belongings.

.

Before leaving his home, his father gave him a stern and very serious warning to never return or attempt to contact House Rontremont. Silvaire agreed and headed to Eorzea to make some sense of his new life.Once there, he made Limsa Lominsa his home and joined the Adventurer's Guild in an attempt to help others as he had not been able to in Ishgard. However, his tasks proved menial, and his time as an adventurer did not last long.As an adult, he moved to Ul'dah and offered his services as a retainer.

PERSONALITY· ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── ·

Quiet and unassuming, Silvaire is used to being overlooked after his fall from social grace. While he strives to be kind, years of isolation and loneliness have impacted him. Shown a shred of care, it’s something he will cling to and reciprocate with more enthusiasm than necessary, which causes him to appear rather desperate. He’s easy to manipulate in the wrong company—until he grows tired of this mistreatment—, and for good company, his actions can certainly drive them away. It’s something he’s aware of (though it does take him a moment to realize exactly what he’s doing) and he tries to keep his emotions managed. However, this desire to find a place where he belongs, or at least feels as if he isn’t an active burden, is strong.It’s no mystery that he’s unhappy. Even if he smiles, there’s a somber air about him. Working and burying himself in tomes is an escape, and he feels that the more he engages in these hobbies of his, the easier it’ll be to conceal his brewing and turbulent (sometimes violent) emotions. For now, these efforts at escapism work.He is a good man, all things considered, but one that is haunted by his past and the shame associated with it.

HOOKS


ISHGARDSilvaire was exiled from Ishgard back in his teenage years. While talk of what he's done is probably not still spoken of, the older of Ishgardian society may have heard of how he became a labeled "heretic". Perhaps he was a peer at some point? Maybe a vaguely familiar face seen at a few functions or at church? If the emblem of House Rontremont is recognizable to someone, then the ring that Silvaire bears is a certain giveaway to his heritage. Either way, those who have some Ishgardian association are free to know him.He has recently returned to Ishgard.RETAINERSilvaire is now a retainer for hire. If you wish to have him under your service, you are free to do so. (Send me a message beforehand and we can properly plan).

OOC


i'm a 21+ roleplayer and would prefer to rp with others who are 21+ since i am a fan of more mature topics and content. character death, for Silvaire in particular, is not something i'm looking for, however i am never opposed to him being injured, tortured, ect. as long as there is a logical reason for it and some character development to be had, i'm completely fine with these things. (as long as they're discussed beforehand too!) it's hard to really psyche me out of a mature rp/some violence. i'm new to in game rping, so please have some patience while i learn the ropes. discord rps are something i'm also interested in as it works better for my schedule. if you would like to set up a discord based rp, please send me a tell and i'll disclose my discord username to you. romance isn't of high importance or priority to me. with that being said, it isn't impossible to romance my characters. though i don't want it to be the main focus of why we rp, so i hope you can respect this. i believe wholeheartedly in forming realistic connections, and a romance should feel natural just like in real life. if romance does happen, fantastic. ERP with strangers is a no-go and OOC for Silvaire, unless we've discussed something beforehand.
