Archange Dujardin

✦ "A Wild Rose's Thorns". -- About

Archange has grown up knowing a carefree and indulgent life as a result of his former status as Fontaine nobility; he's quite breezy, generally taking life at his own pace and giving in to his wanderlust whenever he wants a change. He's overconfident in himself, his looks and personality, and is rather used to getting what he wants ( though that isn't to say he won't work hard to earn it if that's what's required ). While always trying to remain friendly and staying in everyone's good books wherever he can, Archange is often perceived as being sleazy and inappropriate for several reasons; his tendency to speak before actually thinking, his inability to read moods, his open and incessant flirting with people he finds attractive and the fact he doesn't hesitate to speak his mind with brutal honesty or ask for things like food or money without concern for others or his closeness with them. He hasn't quite figured out why people are generally turned off by him and often doesn't seem to be under the impression he's doing anything wrong. 

Archange severely lacks situational awareness and can be something of an airhead with delusions of grandeur, who becomes whiny when he wants attention or to be given something and isn't getting it. Truth be told, he can be incredibly foolish and careless at times, especially with things like money or personal effects. However, he's also sly with information and quite clever when it comes to technical things; he has an understanding for business when it comes to selling his treasure hauls and making a significant profit. His innate pushiness means that he's a great haggler and he can often get away with overcharging for artifacts and treasures. Any money he makes is either used to try and pay off the enormous amount of debts racked up from his time in Fontaine, or frittered away on things he wants, luxurious food or dates - Archange is a romantic at heart with a love for love itself, and if he likes someone he's happy to dote on them with money and gifts, which often makes him easy to walk all over.

Archange has a rather adventurous soul; he loves to see new things and enjoys a nomadic life as a Treasure Hoarder with nothing to tie him down as long as he stays on the move from those he owes massive amounts of money to. Life on the road keeps him at ease; the sight and feeling of new cultures and places is a welcome distraction from the terrible shakeup his life has taken since he was lost the hallmarks of his noble birth. He tries to remain optimistic at all times and can see the beauty in almost anything, as long as it doesn't pose even a slight inconvenience to him; though in conflicts, he has a tendency to run away from his problems rather than face them and is incredibly cowardly, opting instead to sneak around and use backhanded methods to get himself out of trouble.

His love of romance aside, Archange genuinely, desperately wants people to like him despite their tendency to push him away, believing himself unworthy of being truly loved - it's no wonder his Anemo powers manifest in the ability to charm. His reputation among Treasure Hoarders remains terrible due to his chronic record of stealing whole hauls, and finding ways to cover his tracks that result in his former teammates being hurt or killed while he runs off with the spoils of the operation to sell. But though he's easygoing and doesn't hold grudges easily himself, Archange proves to be incredibly vicious when he feels he is crossed and holds no mercy for those that hurt him deeply when he's so prone to giving his heart away.

Appearance

Archange is 5'9" ( 177 cm ) tall and has a slightly top-heavy figure with the lean musculature of a practised archer. Despite his outdoorsy ways, he's pale as though lacking in sunlight and the stress and tiredness of life clearly shows on his features and in his awkward, slouching posture. He has a mop of short dark hair with a naturally-wavy texture that tends to remain messy and unkept, dark, long-lashed eyes in a cool brown hue and even darker, bruiselike eyebags surrounding them that seem to lend him the appearance of a raccoon. Archange has a square face and a broad Roman nose, and a tendency to wear a rather goofy smile at any given time regardless of what the circumstance might be. In his right ear is a silver drop earring with a long cherry-red crystal in it - the last remaining family possession he has after everything else was seized from him, even despite its lack of real value - and in his left ear is a silver stud. Archange has a tattoo on his upper right arm of a snake wrapped around a sword, swathed in roses.

Due to his nomadic lifestyle meaning he doesn't carry belongings, Archange only has the clothes on his back to wear. An open white shirt, black leather pants with a brown belt and thigh holster to carry his quiver of arrows, and loose black boots. He also wears black suspenders and, over the top, a black and red tailcoat whose back is designed to resemble an angel's wings. He also wears a brown leather wristguard on his right wrist. Archange's Anemo vision hangs from a silver chain on his belt, and he's often adorned in silver chain jewellery.
