♧ – Does your muse have any regrets about a battle or incident they had to fight in? Has it changed them?

(Lance most definitely has. The Steel Vigil left it’s scars both physically and mentally. He regrets that they lost the Vigil and their commander. He know he was still too young to have made a strong difference in that fight. Doesn’t mean it haunts him any less. He still returns to the ruined Vigil once a year to pray to Halone for those lost that day. That loss made him work harder and remain true and loyal to Haillenarte despite his family. Even went as far as to explore the ruins of The Palace of the Dead when he heard rumors of his commander’s ghost having been sighted down there.)

(For Alex that would have been his fight against his former mentor. He regrets not making sure the man was actually dead before he fled. Years later it led to him being tortured for two days and nearly killed. It’s made him more paranoid and more serious. Any time he flexes that hand his mentor scarred, it’s him reliving at least some part of that memory.)

(Mari has had one fight only really. She’s managed to live most of her life in relative peace beyond that. She originally fled Dravania to escape the war. The old woman she took shelter with in Coerthas was a former dragoon. The woman taught her to fight. However there was a group of knights that later hunted the old woman down and accused her of being a heretic. Mari was told to run, not quite being ready to face a group of skilled knights. But remembering the old woman telling her it was better to love then to hate. So Mari regrets being unable to help the old woman but those interactions with that woman kept her from hating and nursing a grudge.)

♤ – Given a chance to learn and use a combat ability or magic they don’t possess, what would your muse choose?

(If Alex had to choose, probably magic. He’s already skilled with daggers and a polearm. Already knows poisons. He has no real skills with magic though. Never had anyone to teach him and it’s not exactly something you can learn alone. Not for him at least. He’d enjoy knowing a little fire magic.)

image

(Healing or Holy magic. Lance, like Alex, knows various weapons but has no training with aether for spells. Lance actually has a smaller personal aether pool. A counter balance to the fact that he’s physically strong and durable. He would like to know at least some healing magic to at least be better able to protect and save those he cares about.)

image

(Close fighting combat abilities. He has zero interest in magic but he does regret never learning how to deal with close range dangers. After a few mishaps, he’s realized how vulnerable that makes him.)

♠ – What is your muse’s weapon of choice? Is it magical or mundane in nature? 

“Physical weapons. Usually a sword and shield. Though I have been trying my hand with other weapons as well. It gives me the advantage of better knowing what other weapons are capable of in a fight. I have been studying with a katana lately specifically. After a trip to Kugane with my wife, we thought the training of the samurai there might be beneficial to help me with a problem I have.”

image

✓ – Has your muse ever lost anyone they cared about on the battlefield? Do they feel responsible? 

(No not really. He’s never really been on a battlefield -yet- with someone he’s cared about. Before he started finding reasons to care, he was more of a solitary fighter. A sort of assassin or hired hitman. The closest he’s been was the day he betrayed Lance on a scouting mission in an effort to protect the knight. He knows he’s responsible and doesn’t ever deny it. He was protecting the first person who ever showed any signs of caring about him. So to him it was worth it.)

(For Lance he has. He’s been serving the Haillenarte family for years now. Ever since he was old enough to take a position in the field. He first served Lord Chlodebaimt de Haillenarte at the Steel Vigil. So he was there when it fell to Nidhogg’s horde. He still feels bad about the fact that the young Haillenarte lord sacrificed himself to try and save some of the knights from a doomed fight. He had come to care about Chlodebaimt in the short time serving under him. He had been a good commander. Giving Lance his reason to keep being a knight and his sense honor.)

(None of the other kids have really been on a battlefield or they have and haven’t lost anyone. Thanks @delicatelygloriouspenguin )

♥ – Is there an opponent they’ve fought they’ve grown particularly attached to, love or hate?

“Well if we’re talking about fist fights then I guess you could say Ilan and Ulan. Fighting them is always a good time. If we’re talking about fights were no one is going to die but still get good and bloody, then Anata hands down. We beat each other bloody but I can always expect a good challenge. But I don’t think you mean something like the Gin Mill fights or my spars with Anata. If we’re talking life or death matches… Lancefer.”

(Lance and Alex used to fight in bar brawls back to back. Then Lance went to kill him for entirely good reasons, leaving the scar on Alex’s face. He does care about his old friend and is still attached to him. Nearly getting himself killed twice for Lance.)

“I don’t… Particularly like Nathaniel but… He is a good opponent to fight. Raiden on the other hand I do like and he is a challenge worthy of facing. It gives me something to strive for. Someone worth trying to defeat.”

Shield (For Lance), with Tsirae. Ishgardian bros :D

The skies looked overcast, a promise of snow. Not that it was anything different for Coerthas.

The wyvern was likely a remanent of Nidhogg’s horde. The shift had been light on knights for duty tonight. After all things had been quiet since the end of the dragonsong war. Of course Lance just had to be the lucky one to be on duty when someone called out a warning about the presence of a wyvern.

Lance wasn’t one to back down from a wyvern. No matter the scars still left from the Steel Vigil. He swallowed that pain and went forth to meet the foe outside of Skyfire. He was a knight of Ishgard and would not stand by while a wyvern attacked.

Sword and shield drawn and ready to face down the threat as he approached. Rolling to avoid the clawed talons that came at it. Turning to find someone else had run into the fight as well. The armor wasn’t exactly the first thing he could place to one of the Houses. Definitely not while in battle. The sword had met the incoming jaws that had been going for Lance while he was moving to his feet. It was looking at the man’s face that Lance realized he knew this armored man.

“Tsirae! Left!” Lance called out, hoping for the knight to shift left. Giving Lance the opening to lunge with his sword towards the wyvern’s exposed belly. Between the two of them the wyvern wouldn’t stand a chance. They might not work together with serving different houses but there was a certain amount of understanding between knights usually. Especially knights from Ishgard. It helped that Lance trusted Tsirae.
