CHARACTER NAME: Ignis Scientia
AGE: 22
CANON Final fantasy XV
CANON POINT Cape Caem, before setting sail to Altissia
HISTORY: Wiki
PERSONALITY:

Ignis Scientia is a confident, well mannered, proper gentleman who dresses sharply and always appears to be in control of himself and any situation he finds himself to be in. He keeps a level head and a cool temperament. He is extremely analytical and likes to plan his actions before taking them, not being one for vagueness or leaping before looking, usually being one for insisting on having as much information as possible before making a move. As such, he can seem dull and uptight at times.

That is the perfect initial image Ignis portrays. Spending more than just a few hours in his presence reveals more about his personality. Ignis is a man prone to sarcasm and making jokes, especially puns. He enjoys explaining things, chiding people for behaviors he doesn't approve of, and really, just likes to hear himself talk sometimes. He is a patient person with a high tolerance for the ridiculous situations he often finds himself in and the more rowdy and mischievous company often he keeps. Ignis is polite, but he has trouble reading people and interacting with them casually and can often come off as stiff or he may unintentionally say something hurtful without realizing it. Once he relaxes around a person, he can be much more fun to be around and enjoys matching wits with people and playing games with them. He is prone to becoming rather smug if he wins or is proven right.

Having been trained from a young age to be the chamberlain to the prince of his country, Ignis is a highly intelligent and capable individual who can seemingly do everything from household tasks like cooking and cleaning to navigating the world of politics, sometimes appearing more like a servant than a man of noble birth and high standing. Despite the less than glorious nature of his job, he takes an immense amount of pride in the work he does and he becomes jealous or offended if someone else is praised over him for doing the same thing.

Ignis is also a workaholic and often insists on doing things not only himself, but doing them for other people as well. He believes that not only will he get the job done faster and better, but it's also a roundabout way for him to express fondness to the people he cares about. He usually considers himself to be "on-the-job" most of the time (taking care of an adult prince who lacks basic life skills demands it) and even his hobbies have an element of work to them. His interest in cooking began as part of his many duties and eventually evolved into a passion.

He is unwilling to accept help most of the time and overworks himself, which is likely the cause of his addiction to coffee, especially the type that comes in a can. Due to the demands that were placed on him from childhood and how much his job as a combination advisor/bodyguard/caretaker became part of his identity, Ignis is a perfectionist and struggles when he can't perform or when something goes wrong. He wants to be relied on, not to be the person who does the relying. He can be bossy and it's not uncommon for him to bark out orders on what he believes should be done. In extreme situations, he'll do whatever it takes to fulfill his duties, even if it means making desperate, harmful, or just plain stupid decisions.

Ignis' steadfast confidence is directly tied to his belief in his own abilities and when one goes down, the other does as well. He can overthink situations and stress himself out. When he's upset or frustrated, his carefully controlled demeanor cracks and he lets uglier emotions like bitterness and anger show through, often in the form of pettiness, minor hostility, and passive-aggressiveness.

Despite his faults and various difficulties when it comes to being a human being, Ignis is unfailingly loyal and affectionate towards his friends, even if they can get on his nerves sometimes and he feels the need to lecture them for poor life decisions (something he himself is not immune to). In particular, his prince, Noctis, always comes first and this is something that can be taken to the extreme at times. Ignis is prone to fussing over and mothering the people he cares about. He worries about his friends frequently and will always place their needs above his own, often trying to hide his own problems and feelings. He isn't always successful.

Basically, he's a guy who just kind of tries way too hard and would be a lot more functional if he didn't.

CANON POWERS:

The Armiger: As a royal retainer, Ignis has been given the ability to manifest weapons and items directly into his hands provided it is stored in the Armiger, which is best described as a magical inventory space. They can appear directly in his hands and be put back in regardless of location.

Elemental Infusion: He also has the ability to infuse his weapons with elemental magic: fire, ice, and electricity. Aside from doing elemental damage, they give him minor improvements in physical ability such as allowing him to attack in a radius around himself (ice) or making short, lightning fast dashes (electricity). What's special about fire? Nothing, really. Fire burns. That's it. You're being stabbed with fire and that's enough.

Weapons training: Proficiency in using dual daggers and lances as weapons. His fighting style is highly reliant on speed, agility, and unnecessary acrobatics to deal high damage. He performs best when he's calm and focused.

Combat training: Being a member of his canon's equivalent of the armed forces, Ignis is trained in battle tactics. In particular, he's focused on strategy: managing his allies and searching for weaknesses in the enemy. Sounds more impressive than it really is.

Minor High Jumps: Able to jump higher than a normal human while using a lance for aerial assaults. The jump height is roughly twenty feet high (Or: a little over 3 Gladiolus Amicitias stacked on top of each other).

Knowledge of Poisons: Has enough knowledge of poisons to employ them in battle, usually by coating his weapons with them. Has not poisoned anybody's food to date.

Culinary Expertise: Ignis' ability to cook rivals that of professional chefs and is able to improvise meals and able to ~~steal~~ "reverse engineer" recipes of many foods that he eats. However, he has not figured out how to make stubborn princes eat vegetables.

Top Tier Mothering: Being the combination chamberlain/caretaker of a lazy, spoiled prince from a young age, Ignis is a master in the domestic arts like cleaning and sewing and taking care of grown men who should really be able to do some of these things themselves.

OTHER: He can actually see decently without his glasses, they exist mainly to correct only a minor imperfection.

CRAU INFO: N/A
MAGIC ABILITY: Animal shapeshifting. It must be an animal that he knows and can envision in his mind. This ability is restricted to medium sized animals or smaller (any attempts to become anything larger than say, a horse will create a scaled down version) and the animals will have no special abilities, only their natural talents. All animal forms will still retain his glasses because of rule of funny.
ANY WEAPONS/MAGICAL ITEMS?: His Spelldaggers, a pair of twin daggers wielded one in each hand. They enhance the power of any elemental magic infused into them, but without being infused, they're just a pair of fancy stabby knives. Because he will lose access to the Armiger ability, he will have to carry them around on his person. If having both daggers violates the one weapon rule, then just one is fine.
ANY PETS?: None
