Profile
His design has been changed so much during the years, that I think now it's about time I make a new toyhouse with just his accurate pics. I may add old pics of him later on, but for now, just Lys' new look~
Full Name: Lysander te'Nausuri Ildenehrek Pentecoste
Full Title: Montessori Du'Ourossi Lysander te'Nausuri Ildenehrek Pentecoste du'Aurose
(meaning- Montessori: ruler or overlord of a territory under the protection of a Supreme Warden, comparable to king with a lot of spiritual ties, literally, to the landmass they oversee. Montessori Du'Ourossi: ruler of the land of Ourossi. Lysander te'Nausuri; Lysander, "the natural", Ildenehrek; son of Ildefonz. Pentecoste du'Aurose; Pentecoste of the province of Aurose) yeah its ridiculous but all the nobles names are ridiculous.
Honorifics: Honorifics are the titles that apply to an individual, the higher ranked an individual is the more of a variety of title those below them typically would address them, Lys is an individual whose titles can range from 'sir' to 'Great Master' with many varieties even to 'King', 'My Lord', 'Your Highness' since the Gryf world has had many different kind of leader before the territories settled down millennia prior. Lysander is on the lower end of needing to be addressed formally, it's expected when in the needed settings for formality reasons, but often will request just to be called by name or simply 'sir', if someone deems the formality personally needed.
Nicknames: (Very, very dependent on who is saying it, the shorter a nickname the more informal) Lys (Agwé), Lysa (Evangelista and Anastasia), Lysan (Hilduara, Muiris Nizarut, 'old man' , and Julian sometimes)
Warden: Supreme Warden Cindacordra; the Aurosian Wex
Personality/some Backstory: Lysander had an interesting upbringing, before his illness (which hit him at about age 11) he was sometimes cruel but generally uninterested in basically anyone he saw as lower than him, and since he was to be the heir of his house his domineering father (Ildefonz) was basically the only Gryf he respected or paid any mind. Even his mother (Hilduara) and older sister (Evangelista) often got overlooked by him.
Through his recovery, which took until about age 19 (the worst years were ages 11-14), to now at age 27, he is a much more thoughtful individual, very close to his sister who was the main source of social interaction through his illness. Thanks to her guidance he has become a sensitive individual, yes he can hold his own when it comes to the battle of the minds and personalities, but he is vastly more mindful than he ever could have been if the illness never left him bed-bound. The beginning of his reign as Montessori Du'Ourossi (age 23, after his fathers passing) was filled with rumors of incompetence and of him being a curse to the family. Yet his standing has only seemed to flourish as he has shown his ability to lead. He can be a bit of a flirt and dominant, he's very well aware of how feminine and 'pretty' he looks, not shying away from the contrast between being small/feminine and a fantastic lead. He is 5'6", short for a high ranked individual as most nobles average around 6', his sister is 6'2". But this is actually the average height for Gale Gryf in general.
Pentecoste Family Colors: Ruby Red, Black, and Sea-Kissed Copper (oxidized copper)
Pentecoste Family Symbol: The Aurose (Aurose is also the name of the capitol city of Ourossi), basically a very large, deep-red rose that become darker in the center, almost black. This flower is native to his homeland and Aurose tea, oil, and perfume are rare and of high quality, often selling for exorbitant prices to collectors and those of higher standing.
Clothing: The clothing choice of his world is that of a mix of Fantasy and Victorian styles, pairing robes with button ups and even armor on occasion for common articles of clothing. Feel free to make new outfits :) He often wears his family colors but is privy to other colors as well. He's a bit of a fashionista and enjoys adding some feminine flair (he likes wearing heels to boost his height, but can wear flat shoes too).
Weapon of choice: Swardish Rope - A slightly elastic rope made in a large circle, masters are known to be able to fight without moving much of their body, only using their wrists to fling the rope using its elasticity. This is a good weapon for Lysander as his illness has permanently made it difficult for him to move around a lot, he is very limited in his flexibility and fighting stamina. Swardish Rope is a weapon originated by Sward Gryf (Earth Gryf), and is not commonly used in Galeic territories. It is a weapon designed to end a fight as quickly as possible with little injury, binding a foe. Depending on how unlucky (or how much they flail around when fighting) an opponent might be, they can end up in very weird positions once restrained.
Wings: His wings do not allow flight, in fact they cannot even be extended far without considerable pain. They also are heavily tattered, growing in like that. Weather or not he is wearing wing wraps he is still often wearing some sort of binding to make sure his wings do not accidentally twitch and cramp up. That would be very unseemly for one of his status.
Wing Wraps: These are used to cover his wings which are permanently damaged from his childhood illness. Even though he basically holds a title comparable to a 'King' (Montessori Du'Ourossi) it is expected of him to hide his wings while in the presence of a more high-society crowd and even often when he is in view of the general public.
Tail: Unlike most other Galeic Gryf the Pentecoste family has been known for their symbolic trait Of the Wexish Tail. The tail that supposedly mimics that of the Supreme Wex, Cindacordra, much longer than a normal Gale Gryfs' (Gales typically have more lion-esque tails) though quite thin (the Wex's tail is very fluffy). It is prehensile and can be used for somewhat complex tasks, Lys and his sister are both accustomed to using their tails as a super long third arm, without much thought.
Magic: Lysander is a 5th tier fire magic user, basically the lowest level of magic (this does not bother him in the slightest and is common in his family to be non-magical or 5th tier fire users). The most that he can do is small ignitions, he typically just uses this to light his smoking pipes. He can also make things he touches and focuses on very hot. As a Gale Gryf (Wind Gryf) this is uncommon enough since the majority of Gale's (~85% of magic users) have the affinity of wind magic.
A little hard to see, but he has a small freckle under his left eye
