Lucetta De Laurent

The church told her she was gifted – a modern Saint Reinette. A true Messenger of The Fury. The visions? A terrible, terrible burden for a girl so young. But as it is often said, through The Holy See and Halone, all things are possible. Lucetta de Laurent, baptized, clean and clear-faced, a virgin warrior in the service of Her justice.It did not take long until she became a Dragoon, the relatively young woman showing a hardness that terrified even the most pious knights of Ishgard. In the face of the Wyrms, of men and women flayed like animals in their beds, of heretics twisting the flesh of men, Lucetta's face never changed.Eyes like blades. The Holy See has seen it – their wicked magic fails in her presence. For in the emptiness of the Dragoon, they see their unmaking, and the eternal fires of Hell. And like a true child of Halone, she never lingers over the scene of her successes, never takes trophies or cites a single passage from scripture.“Slay them,” they commanded, “Slay him. Slay her. Slay them all.”And so she did, in silence and obedience.

Roleplay Hooks

[Common: Reputation]
Lucetta's reputation precedes her- She is mocked as often as she is admired. Her devotion to Halone cannot be denied, but the source of her fury is up for debate. Is she a madwoman still shackled by the lies of the church, or is her "gift" but another name for the Echo carried by a blessed few?
[Common: Religious]
Pious to a fault, Lucetta still remains devoted to her faith. She is among those who believe there is still a future for the church in Ishgard despite their rueful past.
[Common: Noble House]
House Laurent is a lesser noble house who has sworn fealty to House Hallienarte. Their past fortunes were bartered with precious stones, but the Calamity has forced them to find riches in other trades. With The Firmament open to all, they've earned a reputation for procuring rare materials and other fine components.
[Common: Errant Knight]
Bound for decades to Ishgard, Lucetta has finally broadened her horizons beyond its iron gates. She is still growing used to outside customs, yet she endeavors to learn all she can.
[Uncommon: Battle Scarred]
A Dragoon does not reach her age without a great deal of scars. Lucetta's encounters with dragons have left her with a myriad of health issues, leading her to seek treatment for her chronic ailments.
[Uncommon: Clerical Aspirations]
Lucetta was not always known for her martial prowess. She once sought to become a clergywoman in service to the church, and thus spent her early years as a student in the Scholasticate.
[Uncommon: Falconer]
Falconry is a personal pastime of hers, and she keeps various birds under her care. Though she rarely speaks of her hobbies, she can occasionally be spotted flying her pets in the wilds.
[Rare: Pressing Arrangements]
Battle scars and age- Admirable on a knight, yet distasteful on a bachelorette. Each year weighs heavier than the last on the heir of House Laurent, for the continuation of her bloodline depends on her. Death or marriage: These are the only acceptable ends for Lucetta de Laurent.

Hello! I'm Kaz, a veteran roleplayer finding my way through FFXIV. My interests include knights, dragons, and talking robots. As a disabled writer I rely on OOC communication, so don't hesitate to tell me about how you feel about our RP. The more I know, the better I can make sure we're both having fun!Lucetta is an unreliable narrator. Does she really have the Echo, or does she belong in a hospital? If something seems fishy, it's because it ICly is!

I'm an LGBT/POC friendly writer, and I'd like my partners to be so as well!
Open to RP both in-game and on Discord, but I'm easier to reach on the latter.
Long-term plots are my thing, but I love making connections through short term RP.
Open to dark and mature themes.
Not opposed to romance, but Lucetta is an unorthodox bachelor to pursue!

No minors please! All of my writing partners must be 21+ IC and OOC.
No lore-breaking RP. Headcanons, lore bending and unlikely concepts are fine- the WoL is still canon!
