Such a Gentleman! Being able to survive explosions, resist zombification, , poison, magic, Stabs, slashes, earthquakes and even the force of a meteor! How one survives such attacks? Only a Manderville knows! [hider=Proof of Endurance] https://youtu.be/NjkW6oehhv0?t=6m28s [/hider] (Hildibrand is pretty much a highly protective character, he can attack but he sucks at it, primarily for defending others, a tanky build is his main forte, very low attack, high defense and mobility) [/hider] [b]Weaknesses and Limitations: [/b] Rather dimwitted: While he may be an investigator, he is rather stupid when it comes to anything involving detective work, and thus, puts his intelligence into question. Thus, he finds himself the butt of the joke at times, falling into simple traps and falling for the most ridiculous of disguises. Weak at fighting/combat: Indeed, with an endurance of steel, Hildibrand WOULD be a powerful fighter... if he could fight worth his salt. He cannot, and indeed, is terrible at the sort. He's a Gentleman, not a fighter! But he WILL try! [b]Personality:[/b] Hildibrands personally can be summarized as a slapstick dimwit, who's stupidity can be instantaneously recognized by even some of the less brightest of people, offering his services for cases already solved and when investigating cases, he is completely incompetent. That isn't to say he isn't a good man, in fact, hildibrand is an incredibly noble, kind and honest gentleman, who seeks only to protect those who are less fortunate than himself and who have no hope, somehow, this buffoon of a "detective" with his clumsy nature, witless words and comical attitude gets the job done every time, some say luck, some say it's just the powers of a Manderville Man! Always seeking to protect a lady or innocents anywhere he goes, he will put himself in harms way selflessly to preserve the lives of those he seeks to protect, while asking hardly anything in return, a strong sense of justice radiates off his magnificent, beautiful being, his teeth shine with the truth of man, his eyes gaze with that... of a Manderville Man! Doing whatever a Manerville can! From the corners of Coerthas to Thanalan, He is A Mander-Mander-Manderville Man! [b]Backstory: [/b] Much of Hildabrands backstory is shrouded in a veil... of MYSTERY! Born between the loving father Godbert Manderville and mother Julyan, two extraordinary beings, with power so strong they were mistaken for beings of another planet, their genes passed down managed to strengthen Hildibrand to become the pain taking machine he is today, while missing out on both his mothers brains and his fathers ungodly strength, he was left with a durable form, and with it, since he was born into an incredibly rich and prosperous family in the most richest city on Eorzea, he wanted to bring justice to those who could never receive it. Being rich only gave you so much, But Hildibrand threw his royal and noble title away, and decided to become a simple Gentleman, and inspector, a fighter for JUSTICE! Hildibrands story would take him on exciting adventures, fighting alongside the Heroes of Light to stop a plot to zombify the entirety of Ul'dahn, he fought alongside the Hero of Light against foes such as Typhoon, Ultros and Gilgamesh, the arms thief of many weapons! ... And arms! Near the end of his wonderful journey, and by accident, his words unlocked the power behind the Treaty Blade, and with its power, Manderville Hildibrand SHOT like a bullet to the sky! Vanishing before the stars where he landed in the snowy lands of Ishgard! What happens now? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON - HILDIBRAND: AGENT OF INQUIRY! [b]Entry Point:[/b] Happily strolling through the streets of Ishgard in FF XIV. [/hider][/center]
