Jacques Lamont

Brume-Born, Ruin-Delving Adventurer,

  hook 001.    ARTIFACTS
Rumor has it that this certain Elezen has made himself well-known enough to be able to track, locate, or find any sort of missing, stolen, or misplaced artifacts or relics. He can often be seen conversing with specific fences throughout different cities, discussing his latest finds.  hook 002.    FOGWEED HABIT
Known for his keen eye and razor-sharp instincts, this individual has a bad habit: fogweed. A strain of herbage that works similarly to the real-worlds marijuana. While it calms his nerves and sharpens his focus, it’s also earned him a reputation for being reckless and unpredictable at times. The thick foggy scent follows him wherever he goes, marking his presence.  hook 003.    SWORDSMAN WITH SUNGLASSES
This swordsman stands out, not just for his skill with a blade, but for his peculiar habit of always donning sunglasses, even indoors or at night. His mysterious air and cool demeanor have made him a figure of intrigue, as has the curious design of his sword, which seems to bear marks of a well-known blacksmith originating from Ishgard.

  hook 004.    FAMILIAR BRUME RAT
In an unlikely scenario, it is very well possible that you and yours have grown up in and around Ishgard with their towering city and brutal weather. Despite all of this, you might recognize this specific character from your earlier years. How did he end up dragging himself out of the jobless, helpless area of the brume and find himself a hard-working adventerous sort?

  hook 005.    DIRTY WORK, CLEAN CONSCIENCE
Jacques had been known to take on jobs of the morally grey scale. Whilst he often finds himself delving into ruins and caves for forgotten treasures, there is a chance that he is involved with dealing with darker folk to help reclaim something lost to them, that.. they may not originally owned. For the right price, of course..

  hook 006.    DOING WRONG FOR THE RIGHT REASONS
He’s the type who doesn’t shy away from making tough decisions. You’ve probably heard about how he solved a local dispute or quelled unrest, but what you might not know is the questionable methods he used to get the job done. Calm and collected, he handles even the most chaotic situations with an air of relaxed confidence, rarely rattled when things go awry. He believes the ends justify the means, but what happens when those choices catch up to him? Perhaps you’ve seen firsthand the consequences of his actions—or maybe you’re curious to see what line he’ll cross next.

  PERSONALITY    Often, the Elezen is scene baring a cool, relaxed manner likely due to his horrid smoking vices. He might seem a bit straightforward or brash at first, though all-in-all he can befriend any and all, so long as they tend towards a friendly nature.

  APPEARANCE   Jacques has a rugged yet composed appearance, with long blond hair, a short beard, and a calm, determined expression. Dressed in dark armor with a fur collar, countless silvered buckles, and carries a large sword.

  biography   - Much more to be found out in character -The basic rundown
Born unto two not very well off parents, Jacques was raised in the impoverished district of the Brume, in Ishgard, where survival was often a matter of luck and perseverance. With no steady home and few opportunities, the young elezen learned to fend for himself, scavenging and doing odd jobs just to get by. His life took an unexpected turn when a disgraced knight, seeing potential in his resilience, took him under their wing for a few years of informal training.Though Jacques showed promise, his path to knighthood faltered, and the dream slipped away after a failed trial and a slip in etiquette due to his Brume-Rat tendencies. Despite this, he retained many of the knight's skills—swordsmanship, discipline, and a strong sense of adaptability. With no other path open, he set off into the world as an adventurer, putting his hard-earned abilities to use in ways that often straddled the lines of morality.

Ruin delving is not just about preserving the past—it's about turning ancient relics into a fortune for those bold enough to claim them.
