Her Many Faces

Vicomtesse Jeannette Castelleaux

"Ever Skyward."After her father's recent death, the new Vicomtesse Castelleaux has been shrouded in ill rumor, yet accepted for her valourous and charitable acts.Serving on the House of Lords, the Vicomtesse is a staunch support of the city's Restoration movements.

Dame Jeannette Castelle, the Unyielding

Valour. Chivalry. Tenacity.House Castelle is a Knightly house. Jeannette was born to be a knight, and takes the moniker of tenacity and an oath to chivalry to heart, no matter how much she may falter.

Jeanne Castelle, "Voidhunter"

Void-tainted. Witch. Corrupted.Recently, Jeanne has been referring to herself by a queer occupation-- voidhunter. Despite the prejeduce and hostility she faces, the woman is quite open about her state.As even to the eye of the common man, it is quite clear that the Vicomtesse has been touched by the Void.

Rumors (Hooks)

Of the many masks worn by the Elezen, one could hear plenty of who she is, and meet her in a myriad of ways.These are far from conclusive, as well! Such a diverse woman with many masks can be found in plenty of situations.

The Noblewoman...

- Is likely known by all who recognize the names of minor nobility in Ishgard! House Castelleaux has fallen on hard times since the Calamity, yet its name carries has a legacy behind it.- Is semi-actively involved in Ishgardian politics. It'd be of no surprise that this young, recently inherited viscountess works against her traditionalist peers in the Republic's House of Lords.- Is the active patron of an orphanage in the city, Saint Gilleaneaux's Respite! Despite credit for its construction being given to her father, Jeanne is well known by every orphan and matron, as if she owned the place.- Might be spoken of by the various gossip circles of Ishgardian high society. Patricide. Dabbling with dark magicks. Those markings on her skin. Rumors travel like wildfire. Some, even, call on the Inquisition to investigate the Noblewoman, yet rumors are just that. Rumors.

The Knight...

- Involves herself in the searches of prestige through acts of errantry when she can. Despite being made busy by her aforementioned duties, Jeanne could be found scouring the star to protect the innocent.- Serves her liege lords of House Fortemps, despite her status as Viscountess. It is far from an obligation-- more a volunteer of service with the time she has.- Might be a familiar face and name to those who served in the Temple Knights! She served for years before the Dragonsong War's end.- Might be a recognizable name for those that served in Ishgard's Inquisition near the end of the Dragonsong War. She might even have a record...

The Hunter...

- Might be involved in an investigation regarding voidsent, void cultists, or artifacts of the Fifth Astral Era. Those who sought assistance in eradicating such things might find an all too eager Elezen at their doorsteps.- Might have been seen traveling between the Yafaemi Saltmoor and Mor Dhona before. She frequents these areas surprisingly common!- Has a myriad of oddities on her visage that could be spotted by the common eye. Aside from the purplish, engraved scarring that's marked her all over her skin, the Vicomtesse had mismatched irises that looked like shattered stars, one a bloodish red, and the other her usual celeste. It doesn't take an aetherologist to recognize that the woman has been touched by the Void.- Might be caught doing the basic fundamental practice of black magic; drawing ambient aether from the star. She, herself, has no remarkable reserves of aether for spellcasting!

Hi there! Name's Steph, I'm a mid-20s trans woman who's trying to make her way in the world.Roleplaying is one of my greatest joys, and Jeanne has become my baby by which I can experience such joy. Both Jeanne and I are trans women, and Jeanne is an avenue through which I can explore my own identity.I enjoy all kinds of RP! ERP is iffy, as I'm usually turned off by the types that I perceive are wanting ERP for the sake of the horny. Other than that...I love communication among persons who RP together. Not sure about a theme? Not sure how to approach? Please, don't be afraid to ask! At worst, be sure to not come out the gates with the heaviest questions. I do enjoy it when I can know the player a little bit before I write with them.Scheduling's the toughest part of RP. We all know that, sadly. As for me... I work until 5 PM EST Monday-Friday, and need to be in bed on weeknights by 10 PM EST. There are some times in this period, too, where I am not be available! It's best to ask. ^^Obviously, if you've got a mind to be bigoted against any group of people for any reason, you can fuck off! :)

Warning! Proceeding ahead might reveal information relating to Jeanne that is better engaged within roleplay. Proceed with caution!

"...I don't want to be hurt anymore."

For all the pain. All the suffering. She bottled it in. Decades, upon decades of torment-- feeding something within.

For a woman who wears her corruption so openly, one would think that the Vicomtesse, at least, had nothing to hide. Yet things, as they were, are never as they seem.At one point, the woman thought she had turned. That she was, by all rights, a voidsent itself. Yet fortune would favor her aether and keep her from tipping over-- and though she seeks healing, she nevertheless teeters near that point of no return.Like a Voidsent, Jeanne craves aether. Like a Spoken, she has a preference for its taste. Like the golden apple, all other things taste bland by comparison to those greatest of feasts.Blood.

Corruption. Mutation. Bloodlust.Of all the things that made the Elezen tread the line between noble and beast... Surely, there could be naught else that troubled her addled mind.

Dynamis.Akasa.A force by many names.For all the history of Etheirys, scholars both ancient and modern had only scratched the surface in comprehending this inexplicable force. Some thought it divine intervention. Others, a mere trick. To this day, even with the Final Days bringing to light some truth on this power, none have been able to understand it.Or so it is thought.To those rare few, they feel it. To those rare few yet, they control it. It is a force that works with no explanation and no logic, and one by which its connection to Dynamis may never be seen.To they, it is the Darkness within all. Their Darkside.

Jeanne Castelle has always been an emotional woman. With so much trauma, pain, and experience wrought upon her many years of life, the Elezen was a woman wracked by the waves of emotion. It would only be natural, then, that these emotional sparks tapped at the Darkness nestled within her.As emotions drive Jeanne Castelle, so too do they drive the Darkness within. Hatred. Anger. Despair. Love. Jeanne struggled to control them all, and wield the powers they wrought.Yet, with the corruptive powers of the Void at her fingertips, aided with an arsenal of Black Magic, Jeanne never felt right calling herself a Dark Knight. To pay homage to the one that brought her here, she took on a new moniker.

Few will ever hear the tale of Nathalie Greystone. As a bastard to a noble family, she was bound to die, and fade into obscurity.Yet for those few that meet the esteemed sibling of Jeanne Castelle, they may one day gleam the truth.They may one day experience the love between soulmates and siblings.Till death do they part.
