thesmellypocket 1841 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Ser François d’Ibelinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5sVElgdtAg Nicknames:Due to his love of religious images, he is known as “L’Iconodule.” Most people address him as “Ser François” or simply “Sir.” Originally from house de Argon, he took up the new name “d’Ibelin”, after his maternal grandfather. Age:23 Gender:Male Race:Heartlander (Auverginian) Appearance Height:A man noted for his highly impressive height (especially for his lowborn background), he stands at 6 foot 4 inches. Weight: 161 pounds. Body Type: Once scrawny and weak, over years of training he has bulked up a lot. He is the epitome of an Auverginian knight:-Large, tall, eloquent. Clothing: Being recently knighted, he has a plain blue surcoat over heavy mail. Under this he has an old and trusty gambeson, which has saved his life many times. He wears an old kettle helm, seemingly inappropriate for a knight and more of a commoner’s helmet. Scars: Francois has considerable scarring on his right arm from his leprosy, which he suffered from around the age of 12. However, the disease has long since passed. Usually, the scarring is concealed. Further, he has a large scar from where a gash was on his right arm. It was gained in a battle against the necrolytes. Finally, he was a scar on his left leg, which was clearly caused by some sort of polearm during the Adrian War. Personality, Morality and Traits Religion: The Church of the Canon Religious Head: The High Pontiff of the Canon Alignment: Lawful good Personality: A pious young knight, fiercely loyal to the Savoyards and trying with every fibre in him to adhere to the code of chivalry and the virtues of the church. He almost always blames himself for a failure, even if it is not his fault. The condition of leprosy humbled him, to some degree. Once haughty and proud, he always has to bite himself back and practically kick himself for acting in such a way. He respects his fellow fighting man; if they fight honourably, he is a rather chivalrous opponent. However, should the enemy disengage from such strict principles, he is the definition of wroth; he shall show no mercy towards them. He is also a very trusting person. Easily manipulated and falling for tricks, he always assumes people’s good intentions which can make him sociable and gregarious, but at the same time can cause serious problems. He used to be brave to a fault, but now he has become more and more cautious. He has lost his ability to charge headlong into almost certain death, preferring, as the code dictates, to use his weapons as the last resort. Areas of Interest Military Strategy-Francois, as a squire to a Lord Marshall, absorbed many lessons of war. He studied many notable works of strategy, including “The Art of Strategy” and “The Art of Siege Warfare.” Nobility and Virtue- François has been educated in the Code of Chivalry, and traditional Godly values. He is terrified of the idea of “absolutism”, since he sees it as a usurpation of the rights of the nobles. François has had the idea of Feudal Monarchy drilled into him, and naturally opposes anything that gets in the way of the ideal he would like to see for Oren. Law- François believes in good justice for all in the realm, and opposes any arbitrary authority which can override laws easily. He has studied several works of law, and has an ingrained knowledge of the Liber ex Justitia, therefore meaning he is a supporter of Savoyard legal principles, such as innocent until proven guilty. Chronicles- François records his story in The Annuls, an ongoing, partially published work and already his most noteworthy. https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/136963-the-annuls-by-francois-dibelin/ Inventory and Fighting Style Possessions- Francois has a heater shield, with the Golden Cross of Ibelin painted onto it. Further, he was an arming sword in an elaborate scabbard, and also has many items of the arts of peace-a lute and lyra. He usually carries some basic food and a canteen for water. Fighting Style- Savoyard foot knight. Trained Weapons- Ibelin is trained in the typical knightly weapons. He is, for the most part, a foot knight, trained with the poleaxe and similar weapons, as well as arming sword and shield. He does, however, have basic skills with a lance or spear. Favoured Weapons- Arming sword and poleaxe or heater shield. Missile Weapons- Ibelin is completely inefficient with bows, though he can use crossbows to a basic degree. He is also skilled with throwing weapons. Edited December 6, 2015 by thesmellypocket 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
