Background
Narcisse Derinloire was born into a House of relative wealth, but not necessarily power or influence. His parents were of the 'former' House Derinloire, having reclaimed the land and titles from the previous Heads of House who had been some of the most loathed individuals in all of Ishgard in the noble sphere. When most of them had perished in flames, nothing of value had been lost as far as the city was concerned. Now with Marquis and Arsene, who had escaped the blaze, and Marquis's wife and children, they've started fresh with a newly built manor and reopened the family mines.Narcisse is (currently) the youngest Derinloire child out of five, and they all possess strong innate magical talent and received training from Marquis in how to harness and use it to some extent as children to learn control. Where the others had talent with thaumaturgy, Narcisse seemed to excel instead with healing magicks, despite neither of his parents having that particular talent, though of a sort different than the norm: Astrology.When Narcisse turned twelve, he was given a personal manservant as a companion, Botan, who was a retrained former courtesan from Kugane that Arsene had rescued. Botan felt he owed Arsene a debt, and while Arsene wanted to give Botan his freedom, opted to oblige and give him more 'acceptable' work as a manservant. Botan was an excellent pick -less than savory background aside- due to his protective nature, his skill with a blade, and already subservient demeanor. He took to the role like a fish to water and has served Narcisse faithfully since.At sixteen summers, things began to change for the worst for Narcisse. He had fully come into his personality, which had proven to be a point of great contention between him and his parents due to his growing narcissism, acting out and disinclination towards doing anything of consequence. He was obsessed with his appearance, mirrors, and looking 'perfect' at all times. Things had their place, and must be in their places, and things had to always be spotless in his spaces with textured items that were deemed 'agreeable' to his fingers and skin. Botan enabled him to some degree, though Narcisse's mother finally took him aside to talk to him, and asked Botan to help keep him in line, as his father was very close to sending the lad to the mines to teach him some humility. His mother hatched a plan instead to send him on a trip abroad with Botan and a carriage with the bare necessities, thinking that maybe it would teach more lessons than hard labor might.And so, his journey began with Botan at his side, traveling Eorzea and beyond.
Roleplay
21+, all RP!Disclaimer: The Derinloire Family deals with dark and taboo subject matter. If you have triggers or topics you would not like discussed, please let me know ahead of time.-------------------------------------Lower Ishgardian Nobility: (Current) youngest child of House Derinloire, a House with a troubled past and trash reputation. They're working on building it back up under current leadership, but it's slow going. Other Ishgardians, especially nobles, would be aware of their past. Message me for more info.Vain: Narcisse is obsessed with his appearance, spending hours meticulously putting together his daily look, and then further preening throughout the day to keep it the way he likes it. It extends to his manservant, Botan, as well, as he likes it when they match.Flirty: Like a fair few of his family members (and just being Elezen in general), he is flirtatious, friendly, and unlike most, extroverted. He loves being the center of attention, but there may be more to him than readily meets the eye, and meeting his gaze may spell trouble. (contesting /random rolls, message me to discuss if you choose this option.)Raen?: Has a diminutive Raen named Botan as his manservant that's often by his side. He's fiercely protective of his charge.Tactile, but Averse: Has a compulsion to touch things, seeking to know their textures, but is just as easily repulsed by them, and often rejects the touch of others if he does not know them. Wears elegant claw caps to mitigate direct contact, and they do not come off, though he tends to play with them and his jewelry when he moves his hands.Soft-spoken, Yet Speaks Volumes: Soft, low, lilting voice, akin to singing, though often sounds sarcastic or bored. Possesses a calming quality.Romancing Things: Sure? Just remember he's polyamorous.
