    How would your character respond to experiencing Fear?

    Joachim is as stubborn as a mule when it comes to things he fears. Even before he's caught up in it he'll try his best to avoid it. Though, whenever he's caught in an awkward spot, he'll face it without as much as a flinch. This is the method he's been used to for at least half of his life, and he doesn't plan on changing it a bit. This does mean that he will make awful decisions under the burden of fear. These decisions are often at the cost of himself and others, which at times is intentional.

    How would your character respond to experiencing Stress?


    The first move that Joachim makes whenever he's experiencing stress is to use substances to smother it. This is where his habitual use of tabbacca has stemmed from along with the use of other substances. In the cases where he can't use them he'll lash out at the cause of the stress. This may also include bystanders who have no relation to the stress. This is all an attempt to quickly make his way out of a stressful situation rather than face it directly. The only chance he may have of solving his issues is if he goes to a more knowledgeable friend that can assist him.

    How would your character express feeling Happy?


    Oof

    How does your character view Law and Authorities?


    Being raised in a New Regalian household Joachim follows to the strict rules of society with an eye for the details. He'll rarely, if ever, stray from these social norms & laws. It would have to take an exceptional situation to push his boundaries. He deeply respects authorities. This means that he tries to vie for their attention any chance he has. If he's to make himself known to these individuals then he believes he has succeeded in some manner. If he can't do so then he at least believes he'll be out of the spotlight of trouble.

    How does your character feel about Races other than their own?


    Joachim does hold an air of superiority whenever it comes to the other races. Though, this racial prejudice he holds is not as drastic as others of his culture. He's especially loose with his treatment of the other races and sees their strengths and weaknesses in regards to society. The only races he'd find himself secluded from would be the Kathar and the Haat-Maraya, but this is mostly because of their innate nature of destruction and chaos. Otherwise, the other races in the Empire can find their place in the amicable part of his heart.

    How does your character feel about Religion for themselves, and other faiths?


    Joachim is as invested in religion as other members of the Regalian peerage, and so he has built up a layer of respect for the institutions of the Empire. He does so mostly out of respect to the law and what accomplishments have been made by the men of Unionism. As for the other faiths he does not hold a particular outlook unless these faiths support extremely unpopular practices. These faiths are most often related to Void Worship or the Slizzar faith.

    How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world?


    Oof

    How does your character feel towards their family?


    Oof

    What is your character's biggest insecurity?


    Oof

    What is your character the most proud of about themselves?

    A lot of Joachim's pride stems from his education as both a knight and a tactician. His life has been centered around those two aspects for so long that he doesn't see himself without them. Both of these aspects of his life also contribute to what he can do for both the empire and his family. Instead of being useless he can actually make a difference in the outcome because of this, and so he holds himself in high regard because of this.

    What motivates your character to move forward and better their life?


    Oof

    What is your character's biggest fear?


    The primary fear that he has is that his efforts will not be recognized by his peers. If his ambitions were fruitless and seen as trivial then there would be no point in making any difference in the realm.

    Outer Perception:

    Joachim’s commitment and honesty are the most notable of his traits. His commitment stems from his teachings in the Lion Pelt Order. Anyone can notice that he sticks to his words, does what he must do, and doesn’t complain or argue about a job that he wishes to do well. As for his honesty, it is not meant to out-right offend, despite truth’s tendency to offend. To those he offers advice or word to they’ll get a slap to the face if need be, but his code twists his words so that he doesn’t leave them without any positivity. This also means he won’t ever bad-mouth someone, and he’ll leave it to others to do so. In cases outside of his job he’s a merry man, which is a bit unusual for the someone who was trained beside the Leutz-Vixe. He can be totally relaxed, carefree, and outright joyful in many situations. Though, he still upholds his duty to his employer or liege above all else.

    Inner Perception:

    Joachim holds himself to his code, his fellow knights, and his friends & family. His joy in life derives from serving them the best way he can, and by making plenty of coin along with it. This is why he believes he can’t break his code in fear of being completely lost. It is what drives him after all. A portion of his personality that is tucked away is his jealousy for those with a reputation. The fact that he’s a part of a relatively minor Order in Regalia means that he doesn’t hold much to his name, and it’s unsettling that he spent so much time to go on without much merit to his work. There’s also the fact those close to him easily over-shadow his deeds because of their presence in the community. This is where he tries to place himself on top, his pride for his own work keeping him ambitious compared to others of his Order. His goal is to make something of himself, and he’s willing to do what he must to do so.

    Friends & Family:

    To be a relative of this man is difficult. He’ll out-right tease his relatives with banter that comes close to breaking his knightly code. If anyone were to ever ask him why he does this he’d simply play it off as playing rough with his family for their betterment. Though, he’ll take some of his family’s problems into his own hands and will get the job done, that’s for sure. How the family member intended it to be done may not be the exact way he does it however. As for his friends these statements are relatively similar, but he doesn’t do anything for free. His relative’s get the benefit of free-services whilst his friends suffer a small bill of other coin, favor, or gifts.

    Moral Compass:

    Coin is the focus of any Lion Pelt, and this does not exclude Joachim. He’ll do plenty for the right amount, but his code limits him on the technicalities of his work. There is no secrecy to what he does, and he’ll let the whole world know what he’s doing. If his fight is without honor then he’ll level the playing field. And to those that are seen as dispicable to his order he’ll provide ample justice. In fact, the only chances he’ll break his code of coin is whenever justice is on the line. Of course if he were ever to break his own code then it would never be able to reach the light of day, and he’d do whatever he must to keep his compromising secrets from reaching the ears of his peers.

    Life Story (Required)

    Birth & Childhood |


    Born on the 26th of July, 281 AC in Duerrstein of Calemberg. Joachim was brought into the world at the hands of his relatives and the multitude of hired wet nurses. As for his father, Gunther von Duerr, he did receive plenty of praise during his early years as the young von Duerr did as other young boys did. He enjoyed his father’s study of war, even from an early age, and often stuck to his office & workshop as he worked on military tactics and siege weaponry. Though his mother, Yvea du Gaul-von Duerr, left an imprint on him with her culture. The fairy-tales, the stories of heroes of old, and stories of her life back at home left him in awe for the Leutz-Vixe people. During his early years of childhood he'd focus heavily on learning her language along with his father's.


    Adulescene |

    At about the age of ten Gunther started to introduce him to possible occupations he could use to make a name for himself. Joachim was more so interested in being an office in a Regalian levy at the time, serving as a tactician for artillery and siege units. Though, it only took a few years before he had crossed paths with a man of the knightly Order of Lion Pelt. Yvea's influence on him so far added to the man's bigger than life image. The armor, the lion head, and the sheer pride the man held was enough for him to add a knight’s education under his belt. Once he reached the age of fourteen he was sent off to the Order’s academy with his family’s money backing his education.

    Once he was sent to Brissiaud for his education he was slapped in the face by the darker culture the people their held. The one thing that connected him to many of the other lads that found their dreams in that keep was military. Joachim was able to share his love for artillery to the others despite the Order’s propensity to ignore battlefield combat. He served as a squire to Arlotto du Juncker, one of the older knights of the Order, and kept with them over the next ten years of his education.

    Early Adulthood and Present |

    Joachim graduated at the age of twenty-four, and as soon as he did he was sent back home to serve as a bodyguard for the locally powerful merchants of the land. Sadly, for him, he was stuck on plenty of ship-rides over the next year of his life. This is where his hatred for sailors grew, and his love for the land blossomed. Though, this would change once his employer died of food poisoning, or that was what Joachim had heard at the time. He was finally free to meet with his relatives in Regalia to find service in a far more prestigious land.
