Thanks for taking a look!01. 21+ only, 25+ preferred02. IC =/= OOC03. Due to the antagonistic and toxic nature of this character, OOC communication is a must. This character is meant to infringe on boundaries and actively make everything he touches worse. He does not have your character's best interests at heart. There is no redeeming or fixing him; Cyrille sucks. I'm more than happy for him to suffer IC consequences with further discussion.04. I, the writer, want to respect your boundaries! And I will go over anything objectionable before it gets sprung -- at any point, do feel free to stop and ask questions in the middle of a scene. While Cyrille is mostly behaved in public spaces, continued interaction with him will require some brainstorming in how you want the outcome to look like for your character.05. I am on a rotating shift schedule for work. In a 6 week period I'll have 3 weeks in a row where I'll have flexibility, though I'm fine with scheduling things on my days off too. This can mean 2-4 weeks between in-game sessions if schedules don't line up; I know this can be a turn-off for some. However, Discord RP is always welcome!06. Interested in writing, but not with this character? Feel free to take a look at some of my other OCs. :>

Choose joy.

A phrase oft repeated to the impoverished child lucky enough to find an orphanage. You cannot wait for it, you choose it despite everything else. He subsisted on these kindnesses, and, aching to share it with others, found himself bound for the Scholasticate.So eager was he — so full of inquiries — that the Inquisition made theirs. His heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes—The boy learned the price of exacting joy — broken on the Fury’s Hoplon, forged and molded into Her Spear. He learned how to question; he learned how to listen. He subsisted on these answers, and, aching to share them with others, found himself keen on displaying his art. He was a painter, each stroke he made an underline of the very best he saw in others. For what is joy without sorrow?More than the man’s love for the Fury was his love for his fellow man, for loving them was like loving himself. He told them all the same thing he had been told when he was a child, even when they begged him to stop, when they cursed his name, and screamed at him their grief:“Choose joy.”

Laugh, and the World Laughs With You ㅤ—ㅤ
With the fall of the Holy See and the supposed dismantling of the Inquisition, Cyrille has found a new name for his calling: cultural attaché. From the seediest bars in the Brume to the most exclusive galas in the Pillars, and to likewise places beyond Ishgard’s borders, Cyrille brings a joie de vivre everywhere he goes.Hedonism comes naturally to the man whose upbringing was defined by unmet wants and needs. A careful eye for studying others has developed in him a sense of critical appraisal for craftsmanship and a palate reserved for the finest libations.

Whose limits will be reached first — yours, or his?Weep, and You Weep Alone ㅤ—ㅤ
The parts of the Inquisition that remain aim to maintain the profits of the Holy See — and the noble houses backing them — in their best interests.Cyrille is familiar with the criminal organizations that underscore the real machinations of society. Understanding his place as both cog and wrench, Cyrille is more than happy to cause chaos that can be traced back to whomever you wish in exchange for further influence and novelty.The Full Measure of All Your Pleasure ㅤ—ㅤ
For those truly desiring to know the man, one need not look further than to cross blades with him. Cyrille is a champion of the House Nicollier school of fencing, and his best friend is its primary instructor, Aldric de Nicollier.The use of aether to amplify one’s strength and motion is a major proponent of this style of fencing, one that Cyrille has interest in pursuing further. Are you versed in the ways of red magic, or the fine control of aether in general? Do you wish to challenge Cyrille to a duel, or demand recompense for his past and continued atrocities?Be forewarned: Cyrille enjoys playing with his food. The survival of a first bout typically guarantees a second, and all bets will be off.Succeed and Give, and It Helps You Live ㅤ—ㅤ
