Lucien Xavalien

The Silver Dragoon

Personality
Lucien is a quiet pillar of strength stoic, thoughtful, and profoundly introspective. Years of hardship and war have made him deeply empathetic to others' suffering, though he rarely shows it openly. He carries himself with calm authority, exuding the kind of quiet respect that doesn't need to be demanded. His sense of humor is dry and rare, but warm when it surfaces, usually around those he's come to trust.Lucien is extremely loyal, almost to a fault, and still bears the invisible weight of survivor’s guilt. While he may no longer fight on the frontlines, his discipline and sense of duty haven't waned only shifted into a new form: that of a mentor and protector of the next generation. He believes in redemption through action and legacy, rather than words.He tends to keep others at arm’s length emotionally, not out of coldness, but out of fear of getting too close and losing them, as he did his comrades. Yet those who break through his walls find a soul deeply caring and fiercely protective.Interests
Historical Study of Ishgardian Warfare: Lucien has a keen interest in the history of his homeland's military traditions. He often studies old records of knight orders and battles not for glory, but to learn from past mistakes and triumphs alike.Dragoon Technique Theory: Though no longer able to fight at full capacity, Lucien continues to analyze the form, flow, and philosophy behind Dragoon combat.Tales of the Knights and Lost Orders: He has a quiet love for stories of noble sacrifice and lost legacies particularly those surrounding forgotten heroes or fallen orders like the Winter Legion. These tales remind him that even those who fall are not truly lost if remembered.Mentorship & Leadership Development: Lucien is passionate about training others. Not just physically, but morally instilling in them discipline, compassion, and a sense of purpose that transcends simple battle prowess.Hobbies
Falconry: A calm and solitary activity that suits Lucien's reserved nature. He has bonded with a hawk named Aurex, who was once used to carry messages during his time in the Temple Knights.Writing Letters (Never Sent): Lucien keeps a small, leather-bound book filled with letters to the friends he’s lost. Some are apologies, some are updates, and some are just expressions of things he couldn’t say in life. It's a form of quiet catharsis.
Chess & Strategy Games: A lover of quiet mental challenges, Lucien finds solace in playing chess or engaging in tactical war games with fellow veterans. He never gloats when he wins, and he never belittles when he loses.

Lucien Xavalien

The Silver Dragoon

Lucien's life has been defined by resilience, duty, and a sense of profound loss that shaped his every step.Born a twin alongside his sister Lucianne, Lucien's early years were marked by the absence of his father, who tragically passed away during their birth. His mother, a strong and loving figure, had to raise the two children alone. The loss of their father left a lingering sadness in their lives, but Lucien, ever the protector, took it upon himself to be a steadfast figure for Lucianne. His devotion to his sister was as deep as his loyalty to his nation, and from a young age, he understood the weight of responsibility.Lucien's path in life led him to the Temple Knights, where his unwavering discipline and sense of duty earned him respect. He served with distinction, guarding the temple and the faith it represented. His training was rigorous, and he became known for his vigilance and dedication. However, despite his strength and resolve, his ambitions pushed him further. The chance to become a Dragoon was something Lucien could not ignore, even though he knew the training would be grueling.The trials of Dragoon training nearly broke him, and he was forced to push past his physical and mental limits to succeed. His perseverance paid off, though, as he became a full-fledged Dragoon, a symbol of his strength and unwavering spirit. Yet, the toll on his body was immense, and his connection to his lance became not just a weapon but a symbol of the sacrifices he had made.Years passed, and Lucien was assigned to the Winter Legion, an elite group of warriors. Together, they fought through brutal conditions, facing threats with bravery and honor. But their fate was sealed when they were ambushed by a vicious band of bandits. The Winter Legion was wiped out, their numbers decimated in a savage and unexpected attack. Lucien was left for dead on the battlefield, his body broken and bloodied, the last of his comrades either fallen or lost to the winds of time.Miraculously, Lucien was discovered by fellow Temple Knights, who nursed him back to health. When he finally recovered, his body was scarred, and his spirit was tempered by loss and the harsh reality of the world. Yet he refused to let those losses define him. In his recovery, he sought to pass on his knowledge and experience to a new generation, finding a pupil in Lisoux. In Lisoux, Lucien saw potential someone who, with the right guidance, could become a warrior as honorable as those who had fallen before.To Lisoux, Lucien passed on not only his martial knowledge but his soulstone, a symbol of the weight of his journey. He hoped that in doing so, Lisoux could carry forward the legacy of the Winter Legion and the Temple Knights, ensuring that the sacrifices made were never forgotten. Despite the shadows of his past, Lucien’s spirit remains unbroken, and his duty continues as he trains the next generation of warriors to stand strong in the face of adversity.
