Despite his initial friendliness and charismatic air, he is quick to temper and his reputation as a juggernaut where spite is concerned should make anyone double-think crossing him. In recent times, the weight of being a Patriarch has tempered his fiery spirit to a smoldering stoicism though most know that spark lays beneath, waiting to burst free. ◍ Religion: Regardless of his love for the party, the du Poncaire has a moderate respect for religion as he was culturally conditioned to be a Dogmatic Unionist. He tries to be observant of the Creed's benefits to society while disbelieving, yet many can judge that oftentimes his debaucherous nature wins over. Spoiler: <!> Learn IC <!> Unbeknownst to most, through a series of events Florian has found himself as Pride's Herald and while it does not make him any less atheist, he believes in Pride's dogma as a life philosophy rather than a religion. APPERANCE INFORMATION ◍ Appearance: Florian's care for his appearance is discernible with a mere glance, always sporting well-combed golden curls and pressed Leutz-Vixe attire. He stands at a moderate height of 5'10 6'2, hosting hazel eyes and a fair, but warm skin tone. ◍ Mutations/Scars/Etc.: Adding to his generally untouched appearance, Florian does not have many scars. The only one of any note is a large claw mark across his chest that he endured from a bear attack and unremarkable scars sustained from the Sendrassian War. Unsurprisingly, he is sprinkled in tattoos and piercings; the most notable one being a golden ring through his left brow. ╞═════════════════════❖═════════════════════╡ OVID "Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying one and for all ...

Florian would be the second child of three, his siblings being Emeric and Lucrece. ◍ ADOLESCENCE: At the ripe age of twelve, Florian's mother passed of a sudden and mysterious illness, leaving him with his siblings and widowed father. Incapable of re-connecting with his children after the loss, Florian's father sent him and his siblings away to an academy of general education, including basic diplomacy, statesmanship and etiquette. As he grew less and less interested in his studies, Florian discovered the world of fencing and instantly fell in love with the simple yet elegant sport. ◍ EARLY ADULTHOOD: He became a professional fencer independent of his status and competed all of the over the world with great success, yet Lucien had different plans for him. Emeric, his older brother, was deemed unsuitable of inheriting Lucien's titles due to ignorance and backwards ideology of their age so Florian was forced to take his place. To preen him for the life of a respectable Leutz nobleman, he was enrolled into both the Regalian Marshal Academy and the Kalemburg Ordner Akadamie back-to-back. He graduated from both schools with distinctions in theory and combat. However, miraculously, also with demerits in disobedience. ◍ REGALIA: Around his mid-twenties, Florian was summoned to Regalia by his then-matriarch, Amelina Peirgarten. He saw this as a call to his bright future and a rather convenient method of escaping his father's oppressive expectations, and so he went. After a couple of years of setting down his roots, he would leave House Peirgarten as his own methods in regards to politicking were far too controversial and threatened their untouchable legacy. As a living, breathing tribute to his late mother, he established House du Poncaire in the wake of his severance and claimed Ivenna as their home once more. Florian met his wife, Fabienne Cadieux du Lierre, in the city and their futures were interlaced in holy matrimony, for better or for worse. ╞═════════════════════❖═════════════════════╡ SILIUS ITALICUS "He took his way to the abode of sacred Loyalty, seeking to discover her hidden purpose ...

@kirishark The only thing I would request is you elaborate in the life story where, how and whom they obtained their mutation from. Complete that in blue and it'll all be dandy.
@kirishark I love the reason for his mutation. Really creative! Everything else is in order so, approved!
@BillyTheScruffy Small edit! Aged Florian down by five years and re-shuffled his points to accommodate. Tiny change to his backstory as well, his mother is Ithanian and he's been given the d'Ithanie language as a mother tongue.
Apologies for the delay. Been a wee bit busy. If you'd like in future, feel free to change the tag to Needs Reviewer if I don't reply in a couple days. Approved!
Approved? I don't know if you wanted this re-reviewed as you never tagged but nothing is fundamentally wrong with the application.
