[img]https://i.imgur.com/YQbP3Ea.png?1[/img] [color=E3891A]History:[/color] From his very earliest memory, Régis Proulx has had expectation set on him. There are many children that experience expectation. To become nobility, to become a scholar, or a healer, to carry on a legacy that has spanned thousands of years. Régis has always found seen that as a very noble thing. But as for his own legacy… he couldn't care less about it, for his family was bound in servitude. The ancient seat of the Proulx family is in service to the Agneaux fanily, for as far back as any could remember. To serve as their butlers and maids, and, more often than not, trusted friends. The two families have ancient ties, as much advisors as servants, but Régis saw no glamour in this task.

‘Where the Agneaux family goes, we follow.’ It was something his father told him many years ago, trying to instill upon him the importance of their family’s station. They weren’t [i]mere[/i] servants, per se. Historically the Proulx’s have taken great pride in their service. They grew alongside the Agneaux family, have been seated as close to nobility as a peasant family could aspire to, and been treated better than mere servants could hope to be. 

So why did Régis despise this fate? He has always felt some vague dissatisfaction with his lot in life. His childhood was spent in the servant’s quarters. It was a nice place, nicer than any servant’s quarters had a right to be, and he had the ‘privilege’, as his father called it, of growing up alongside Rose-Marie Bachelot de la Agneaux. The girl was his lord’s eldest daughter. Some would frown upon the budding friendship between a servant’s child and the young lady of a noble house, but not the Agneaux’s. No such animosity existed between their families, as they had always been close. Throughout his childhood Régis grew fond of Rose-Marie in spite of his dislike towards his reality. Slowly yet surely, they became close friends 

As Régis turned from child to adult his urge to strike out on his own grew. Caught somewhere between his duty and desire, he was fully expected to take up the mantle of his father. But privately… he hoped to leave, leave and go somewhere else, anywhere else. He saw no honor in becoming a servant, instead taken with the tales of knights and mages. He knew he was nowhere near becoming a hero, but he yearned to, and began making plans to leave. But plans rarely work out, do they? Whatever it was that he hoped to do, those plans were quickly torn apart by the death of his lord, the death of Rose-Marie’s father. By his passing his title went to her, and the reality of his position came crashing down on him. He couldn’t leave, he was to be her servant, her partner moreover. 

He… he had to stay, didn’t he? For the sake of his friend.

His resolve became even surer as he watched how readily Rose-Marie took to her duties. No longer was she the girl he once knew, but a true lord. He knew it wasn’t easy for her, and seeing how much she fought to become like her father... it felt impossible for him to leave. To Régis's despair wasn’t long after the death of his lord that his own died as well. It was illness, they said, incurable and fast-moving. He was gone within a fortnight, seemingly healthy one day and dead the next. Régis found little time for grief, for it wasn't long after that he was asked to take up his father's mantle. He already knew what he wanted- no, didn't want, but had to do. He became the one thing he told himself he wouldn’t be… a servant. 

[img]https://i.imgur.com/YQbP3Ea.png?1[/img] [color=E3891A]Brief Personality:[/color] Loyal, steadfast, and wholly too childish. Régis fancies himself a hero, but has little of the mettle required for the job. In truth he's far too scared of combat to become the knight he dreams of, a fact he himself is well aware of. He's an idealist who believes in the basic good of Humans, even when the world tries to prove him wrong. Among his friends he has a reputation of a bit of a joker, rarely working up the nerve to act serious, seeing himself as the natural foil to the all-to-serious Rose-Marie. Even though he won't admit it the only reason he's gone along with the Empire's plans is because of her, because, as much as he hates the idea, he'd follow her anywhere.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/YQbP3Ea.png?1[/img] [color=E3891A]Emotional Bond:[/color] Rose-Marie's a childhood friend and his mistress. But for Régis the 'friend' is what counts.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/joUeG8o.png?4[/img] [color=E3891A]Fighting Style:[/color] Make no mistake, Régis may have lofty ambitions, but he has little to no knowledge of how to hold a sword.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/joUeG8o.png?4[/img] [color=E3891A]Equipment:[/color] Régis doesn't have many possessions to speak of, with the notable exception of a lute- a hand-me-down from his father. Other than that, he has little with him besides his clothes and basic provisions. For their journey Rose-Marie was kind enough to grant him a sword, something he never imagined he'd have to use, alongside a horse. He feels he is woefully unprepared for whatever the Empire has planned for them, but... well... he doesn't have much choice, does he?

[img]https://i.imgur.com/joUeG8o.png?4[/img] [color=E3891A]Weaknesses:[/color] No combat experience and questionable nerve.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/YQbP3Ea.png?1[/img] [color=E3891A]Name:[/color] Deadly Tempo
[img]https://i.imgur.com/YQbP3Ea.png?1[/img] [color=E3891A]Function:[/color] Régis' voice begins to pick up speed, building up a powerful rapport with Rose-Marie's lance. Her attacks begin to pick up an unnatural speed, although he can't keep this up for longer than fifteen seconds, and the use of this power leaves him winded for fifteen seconds as well.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/YQbP3Ea.png?1[/img] [color=E3891A]Name:[/color] Soothing Aria
[img]https://i.imgur.com/YQbP3Ea.png?1[/img] [color=E3891A]Function:[/color] Régis belts out a beautiful solo- it's an extended piece that when finished rejuvenates Rose-Marie's wounds. This does not extend as far as life-threatening injuries, but will heal cuts and bruises and leaves his mistress feeling much more refreshed.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/YQbP3Ea.png?1[/img] [color=E3891A]Name:[/color] Adagio Bulwark
[img]https://i.imgur.com/YQbP3Ea.png?1[/img] [color=E3891A]Function:[/color] Régis begins a slow and dignified melody, resembling a war chant. While he sings Rose-Marie becomes able to take much more punishment, protected by sonal energy.
