BIOGRAPHY

Florin was what every Ishgardian dreams of: a first born son, after a few losses before. Healthy and whole, he grew up well and often heard his parents speaking of wanting a big family. Their family home in the Pillars, Emerald Manor, could easily accommodate many children. Alas, that was not what the Fury had written. Rosette struggled to carry children to term, and Florin had a solitary childhood that was devoid of most terrible events. His parents were a love match through and through and were very happy, even if their home was more empty than they would have liked it.He had no great love for socializing and was notably somewhat of a wallflower at balls and galas, the Season was always difficult for him. He found some comfort in his cousin, Marcel. The two were often seen in tandem for Marcel’s more outgoing nature balanced out Florin’s predisposition to blend into the wallpaper.At the selfsame moment of the Calamity, Rosette gave birth to Florin’s younger sister, Elyna. Florin recalled seeing the windows ice over as his mother fell silent, and would never wake again.In the modern day, Florin is slowly working to take over the land ownership business from his father completely. He is happily married to the love of his life, the Lady Yvette de Colombe (née Deslauriers) and they plan to have many children.

TRIVIA

RULES

ㅤI.ㅤ this character is intended for low-power, lore-abiding roleplay. i am not interested in interactions with the [character], such as the warrior of light, the khagan, et cetera. no 'main characters,' and no npcs. EXCEPTION is during public events or venues, but i am not seeking long-term connections with these characters. casual interactions are totally fine!ㅤII.ㅤ i prefer in-game roleplay when possible. as such, most of my roleplay will take place on weekends and evenings, eastern standard time zone. i do have discord, but prefer that as a scheduling toolㅤIII.ㅤ florin is not particularly suited to dark / edgy themes. political drama and slice of life are the best genres for him. he is not the one to be involved in a dark knight or murder sort of plot.ㅤIV. ㅤ there is precisely a single circumstance under which florin may find himself in an additional romantic entanglement and i strongly doubt it applies off the bat. the answer is no. no shipping, no aus, none of that. platonic relationships only.ㅤV.ㅤ if you prove you cannot communicate efficiently (stating when you are uncomfortable in a scene, asking for what you want out of roleplay, telling me if you are going to be late / absent for a while, et cetera) i am not interested in being roleplay partners. i will respect you, your character, and your time. i expect you to do the same.ㅤVI.ㅤi am an extremely selective roleplayer and tend to keep to people i already know. this isn't anything against you. i have been in the community for 4+ years and had very bad experiences. asking won't hurt, but it's nothing personal if i decline.
