    • Age:
      • 134
    • Gender:
      • Male

      • Nelfin { Betrayed Isldar }
    • Main Ambition:
      • To acquire Humanum.

    • Zodiac: Aquarius
    • Sexuality: Strictly heterosexual.
    • Position: Fiske is the Director of Medicine for the Alchimia Order, as well one of two Lesser Vigils leading the Azure Order. He lives in a town house near the Imperial Palace, one of the few luxuries he allows himself. While his partner, Anneke, and his friends visit on occasion, Fiske is most often alone in his semi-lavish house with his cat. He has lived in Regalia for roughly sixty years, as he found it much more accommodating that his residence in Holzskagger. He practices medicine here, and takes part in military conflict as a doctor for the Empire whenever necessary.
    • Family: Fiske was born to Sa'yallas and Llen'nel Tao'salloja deep within Ellador, in the Isldar homeland. He has four siblings, as his father passed shortly after the last one was born. He has only met one, Imrae, and is vaguely aware of the others through Imrae. Fiske knows almost nothing about his extended family. He considers the Haavens to be family, as well as Alistair Caheles and a few others. Others are close, but not so close as the aforementioned.
    • Secondary Ambitions:Progress the Alchimia Order.
      • Find a suitable partner to bear a suitable heir.
      • Educate the general populace on basic medicine.
      • Become a medical professor for high nobility or the Theron's Hand Academy.

    Head
    In contrast to the rest of his body, Fiske has soft eyes that conform to no particular shape on either side of long-bridged nose with a slight upturn at it's apex. His ears are large and pointed, as most Isldar's, and he has a forehead that is a smidgen smaller than most. His expression widely depends on what he's doing. Normally he holds a neutral expression, one deep in thought when working, and when he's around friends and loved ones he has a more relaxed and cheerful appearance. He has no freckles, but does have scars. The entirety of his right leg is completely covered in scars, and there are several on his back and chest from the Siege of the Bastion. His hair is a very dark black with bits of grey peaking through, and rests in a curly mass on his head. Fiske's natural hair color is a dull salt & pepper that he dies black purely for purposes of vanity.​

    First Paragraph:

    Fiske comes off to most everyone as a callous and arrogant individual whose entire existence stands to belittle people and condemn them to some preconceived state of existence that only he understands. This, however, is entirely untrue. Fiske operates on a system where he offers up harsh criticism first in most initial and continued interactions until he grows comfortable with a person's ability. Fiske's general personality and behavior to others is entirely based on the value he assigns a person. A number of factors go into determining this, such as race, skills, personality, demeanor, and general appearance. While the criticism he offers can be both discouraging and malign, he will almost always follow up with some kind of proposed solution or positive critique afterwards to ensure that whoever the Isldar is interacting with isn't discouraged from interacting with him. He is naturally a social creature and enjoys speaking in a professional and personal manner, but despite his apparent charisma he often comes off as an unpleasant person to those who are not patient enough to endure his harsh openers. Fiske is direct and to the point in almost every instance, and is not interested in being toyed with through the course of conversations.
    Second Paragraph:

    Fiske recognizes the natural affinity he has for certain things and is not afraid to openly discuss his successes on any front, but he is also greatly annoyed by outright arrogance and will never brag on anything he doesn't believe he can accurately deliver on. While the Isldar oozes confidence he is not without drawbacks. As he has gotten along well enough on his own throughout his life he has a hard time taking and accepting any form of criticism and will often times disregard it unless it comes from someone who has a high personal value to him. He is almost ignorant to the fact that he can make mistakes, and if often blindsided when he does.
    Third Paragraph:

    Those willing to endure a constant berrage of belittling and hang onto the sincere compliments Fiske can give are exposed to a side of the Isldar that few truly get to experience. Around those close to him the unusual air of confidence quickly fades and Fiske finds himself treading much more carefully around those who are close to him. He commonly fumbles with sentences that would normally flow out of his mouth, and can even be very affectionate to certain individuals. He was always very close to his family as a child and continues to keep contact with the family members he know has escaped Ellador and the Isldar Homeland. The family unit he formed with the Sewards was a functional one that he simply wound up outliving, and while he was treated as a servant he was still shown some degree of proper affection from them. To his friends Fiske is fiercely loyal and is is more than willing to offer them a hand up in any way he can, though not to the degree of potentially being taken advantage of. Lovers are something the Isldar has little experience with, only have three across the entire span of his life. He is often very nervous around those romantically involved with him, as he is somewhat afraid of the idea of intimacy.
    Fourth Paragraph:

    Because of his long standing work as a doctor, Fiske is inherently a creature driven to do good. He believes that the medical profession is one of the most noble ones and revels in his ability to help the injured and even save lives. Though he is not without his vices. The Isldar's idea of morality and justice has been bent and twisted by the clashing ideologies of Unionism and Dragon Worship. He has established his own sort of moral code where people are assigned worth based on their contributions to society as a whole. Fiske follows a general utilitarian philosophy as he believes that acting for the betterment of then society you live in is the only effective way to increase your self worth. Doctors, government officials, those in leadership roles, and others are assigned a high worth in the eyes of the Physician because of how they benefit those around them. A bit of hypocrisy, really, as Fiske often refuses to act for the betterment of individuals he has assigned with a low societal value.
    Fifth Paragraph:

    As he only practiced Isldarin Dragon Worship for around thirty years of his life, the Isldar willingly converted to Unionism when he was enslaved by the Unionist Seward family. Throughout his life he has engaged deeply in the practices and customs of Unionism and has a very large grasp on the religion as a whole.

    Poor Dietary Habits

    Something that has greatly contributed to his negligible physicality, the Isldar has very unpredictable eating habits. Though he will often eat something for breakfast because he has the most time available there, the rest of the day is very either hit or miss. Most of the time he winds up completely skipping lunch and having only a glass of wine for dinner. This doesn't fall into a category of bodily neglect, however, usually he simply does not have time to cook anything for himself. Despite his time working as a servant, Fiske is also dreadfully awful at cooking.

    Review time!
    • Gaunt, Vampirism, Race and Religion should be removed as talents/weaknesses due them sort of being copouts. As in, it's inferred already that an Isldar Dragon Worshipper is going to have a rough time.
    • The personality expansion section should be put inside of a spoiler as the template requires. As should the likes/dislikes and relationship sections.
    • Age of entering, leaving and level graduated from an intellect school should all be stated in the life story.
    • Why didn't his family come back for him/re-enslave him at any point? Did they all forget?
    • I don't think this is important to his race, and should be removed.
    Make all edits in a different color and tag me once done!

    Looks good! I just noticed for his expert level mentioning in the life story that 'an' should be 'and'. Fix that and any other little typos you see and you should be good to go!

    I made some major edits, including:
    1. Removal of Vampirism.
    2. Adjusting the ages that things happened
    3. Overall date and event adjustment in the life story.
    4. Medical experience time adjustment.
    5. Complete personality change.
    6. Adjustment of body type.
    These changes should all be reflected in blue, though some categories just have their titles highlighted if the whole thing was changed. Sorry for the change of heart.

    @Rochelle_ ,

    Highlighted the full edits in blue, and redid the formatting to be better suited for reading. Also put the optional things in spoilers and other house cleaning things.

    Yeehaw Review time!
    • Wouldn’t you think that the Medicinal Oath is a copout weakness due to all Doctors needing to have it? As you only need one weakness I would reccomend leaving this out.

    Though there is more substantial reasoning behind it I don't believe it's necessary to be mentioned at this juncture. Weakness removed.
