Furvus Eques Chronicles: Lapsus Memoriae

 SLAM

SMASH

THUD

A body hit the snow-covered plains of Coerthas, a youthful green eye gazing upon a sword levelled at his neck.

“Wrong. Get up and do it again.”

A commanding voice, armored in more than one sense, compelling the youth stand up and hold the poor lump of wood he called a sword. The youth breathed heavily, staring down to the armored imposing figure daring him to attack.

 “Again. Strike.”

Hearing the command, the youth charged forward! From the right, from the right! He thought frantically to himself, determined to break the guard and –

 SLAM

SMASH

THUD

 He was again knocked into cold cushioning snow, a sharp pain upon his side, staring up again to a sword pointed at his neck.

“Wrong again. Have you forgotten our lesson?”

The armored voice chided him, scarlet eyes scrutinizing the youth from beneath visored shadows.

“’Tis not the first time today. Have you forgotten? The reason you are here?”

“I-“

The boy’s words caught in his throat.

Why am I here?

He asked himself, over and over, time seeming to slow to a stop – a lone green eye staring up against scrutinizing scarlets.

“Well? What is it? Why are you here?”

The armored figure demanded, setting their greatsword to the side, grabbing the youth by the collar – lifting the boy up easily to their imposing height.

“-Why- are you here child?”

The figure demanded answers, red eyes threatening a great number of things to the youth before roughly throwing them to the snow – armored greaves kicking the makeshift sword over.

“Remember your reason, then strike, only then will you pass this lesson.”

The armored figure readied their greatsword, holding a stance, daring the youth to strike again.

Remember…Remember…Remember…

The youth reached within his mind, struggling to bring forth the image, the memory, the face that started it all…

Remember…I need to remember. Or else…

The armored figure stared less than pleased, lifting their greatsword up.

..Why?

The youth conjured memories, and feelings – all of which he felt freshly and strongly. But, as he conjured up a face, remembered the face of his reason -blank, nothingness, a void, a -lapse- in his memory. He did not remember the face, the face of one dear and lost.

It was so long ago…

The youth cried, screamed in his mind, shame filling his soul. He remembered everything but the face - so lost in the annals of time.

I should remember, I need to remember…Why can’t I- Why?

Stolen, the memory, the face, the reason – leaving only emotions to fill the void. Anger and shame that overrided fear.

SLAM

SMASH

CLANG

The boy’s wooden sword finally hit armor, a telltale clang echoing along the lifeless plains of snow they inhabited.

“Good. You remembered.”

The armored voice chimed, gauntlets now settling on top of the boy’s head.

“I-I didn’t. I did not remember.”

The boy admitted, letting their head hang in shame, hands clenched into fists.

“I’ve forgotten it. Their face. It’s been so long, I…How could one forget something so important?”

The boy grit his teeth, shame filling his gaze as he pleaded the armored figure for answers.

“A lapse in memory. A face, a voice, a person, and youth, are all forgotten, their marks are ravaged and rend by time. But what remains are emotions. You will never forget what you felt – whether you wish to or not. Remember those feelings and your sword will strike true.”

The armored figure retracted their hand, stepping back away from the boy.

“Do not let a brief lapse in memory make you forget. ‘Tis the end our lesson today.”

The boy stood in the snow, standing and holding his sword, watching the armored figure join the shadows in the distance.

Lapsus Memoriae

A lapse in memory.

Nothing is safe from the lapse of time, for memories fade…

“People think intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is ‘You’re safe with me’ - that’s intimacy.”

Additional information ––– –

Smoking Habit: No

Drugs: No

Alcohol:  No, unless absolutely necessary

Chivalry: The knight holds himself to a standard of Chivalry firmly, displaying a willingness to willingness to help those who are defenseless as well as enacting justice upon those that are perceived as harming innocents.

A Knight’s Path: The knight thoroughly dedicates himself to his mission of protecting those from injustice, in particular those whom would abuse their positions of power to inflict suffering on others. Grant is almost never seen without his trusty greatsword by his side, ready to fight and defend others as needed.

Fractured and expressionless: For one reason or another, Grant acts very much in a stoic and expressionless manner, almost as though he feels lost or unsure of how to act. Though he is polite to others, he has trouble connecting on a personal level to others and may very well seem detached though he is quite capable of emotions and empathy.

((OOC: Hello there! I’m looking for contacts of various types for Grant, whether that would be friends, allies, those he helps, enemies, and more! I am mainly looking to develop his character through interactions with others and plots that happen around him.))

RP Hooks ––– –

Coerthas: Those who were lost traveling in the blizzards of Coerthas may have found themselves helped by the Knight, with Grant having occasionally patrolled the snowy regions of Coerthas, helping defend others against the wild beasts as well as guiding them back to relative safety whether that is Ishgard or the Black Shroud.

Ishgard: Grant would most typically be seen around the Brume in Ishgard, patrolling the area at night whilst wandering about as though searching for something. He has impeded the temple knights on occasion (intervening when he believes they are being unjust) and thus has a shaky reputation with the authorities of Ishgard. And despite his composure and politeness befitting a knight, he seems quite familiar with the workings and life of the Brume…And it being very apparent he had grown up in the snowy city-state. Perhaps an old friend or acquaintance could recognize him?

A Just Path: Where there is conflict, the knight seems to stray not too far behind, wandering where he can to offer his help and protect the innocent around him. His cooperation can be earned easily for any cause he deems just.

Bakery: He has recently recently newly opened moogle-themed bakery in the Mists (Ward 8 Plot 39) for the purpose of funding his travels. The bakery is open for business and manned by a sole employee so far: a ‘moogle’ butler. The butler would probably appreciate some more employees and coworkers. Those interested are directed to inquire at the ‘Forgotten Moogle’ bakery.

It was a routine day and travel to Ishgard, the Hyur making his way out of the brume, decked in his usual armor and a cloak that covered and shrouded his face, both to ward off the cold and to hide his identity among the streets of Ishgard.

He was about to make his way to the Gates of Judgment when a Miqo’te had bumped into him, prompting him to arch a brow before nodding. “My apologies, miss.” He exclaimed politely, giving a bow. “And yes..Of course. Follow me, I shall direct you to the Forgotten Knight.” He exclaimed, gesturing for the Miqo’te to follow as he seemed to direct them both to the Brume path towards the Forgotten Knight.

@grantffxiv​ (Shay starter for you!)

“Brrrr, this place is s-s-s-so cold! I need a warm drink and a warm inn. Wh-Why did we have to go somewhere so chilly!” cried the Miqo’te as she huddled around herself. She was sniffling and not looking where she was going when she bumped into someone.

“Oh, sorry sir. Say, can you tell-tell me where the inn is? And maybe a weaving shop? I need a coat.” she whimpered. This cat from the desert was definitely not used to the winter.

❌ What kind of things would end any relationship for them? Is there a history behind why these things bother them? Could they ever take someone back despite this? If so or if not, why?

Dishonesty and betrayal. Given that he holds himself strict to a form of knightly code, honesty and chivalry are his highest values and thus those whom go against it tend to earn Grant’s distrust and perhaps ire, especially if they endeavour to harm an innocent. As for would they take someone back? It would depend. But generally speaking, if they show signs of remorse and atonement, he will gladly assist and take them back with open arms.

Reblog this is you're 10000% with being approached with plot ideas at random!

Of course, this doesn’t mean you have to say yes, but a lot of times we don’t know we’d be interested in a thread idea unless it’s brought to our attention!

[grantffxiv]

🍒 What kind of things do they expect from their relationships? Does this differ between platonic relationships and romantic ones? Is your OC “demanding” or a door mat? What kinds of things do people expect from them in a relationship?

Grant gives respect, honesty and loyalty into whatever relationships he might have. And inwardly he wishes for the same from others but does not necessarily expect the same treatment. This does not differ whether it is platonic or romantic. Grant is far from ‘demanding’ where he’d probably be more of a doormat to whomever he’s in a relationship with. As for what kind of things people expect from him? He can only assume it’s his loyalty and faithfulness.
