To match his hair are a pair of deep brown eyes. Having spent much of his time at Fort Stag, Sacha is a bit more tan than much of his noble peerage. Sacha has a relatively lithe frame hardened by time with the Order. Dotted about his body are a number of scars, but the most prominent of them is a large burn scar etched into the skin at his shoulder. Sacha isn't particularly tall. Neither is his posture all that intimidating especially when compared to other hardier members of the Order. Despite his current station, Sacha still takes pride in his appearance. He prefers to remain clean shaven for most visible parts of his body, including his face and chest.

His inquisitive nature, and willingness to eschew convention and tradition for the sake of practicality has gotten him into trouble more often than not. He himself is a relatively open book, and becomes interested in the more reclusive people he meets. Most would argue a life of privilege has afforded Sacha his sense of entitlement to know things, and that's like true in part. However, it is Sacha's response to his own trauma that makes him so eager to overwhelm others with a premature sense of closeness. Detachment is something that makes Sacha deeply uncomfortable because of feelings of loneliness and abandonment. Sacha has felt an outsider much of his life despite a genuinely charming nature. Years of trauma from a fog-poisoned father have made him fearful of loss and mortality. Even still, having lived his life as a nobleman he's had access to opportunities that most others in Carthus could only dream of. Sacha himself was particularly gifted as a child, or at least his tutors proclaimed him to be. Likely they only sought to win the graces of his noble family. To his credit Sacha is intelligent and articulate. Though he could never see it, its often left him naïve to the plights of others and even judgmental. There is a part of him that feels a sense of superiority, but another part that feels entirely inadequate. His experiences within the Order have been harrowing in their own right. To see the depths of despair suffered by his countrymen has left him with a constant dread and guilt for having lived easier. Still, Sacha desires to afford his people with material good through working in the Order. He has a strong sense of justice though some of his prejudices and axioms in that matter are rooted in the authority he's been able to wield given his status in life. Sacha is still stripping away those layers of privilege and naivety though not always actively and with intention. [b][color=9e0039]Habits:[/color][/b][list][*]Thinks Aloud [*]Talks over others [*]Furrows brows often [*]Pinches bridge of nose[/list] [b][color=9e0039]Hobbies:[/color][/b] Sacha enjoys gambling- particularly card and dice games. He is particularly experienced with Quartermage. He also enjoys board games such as chess.

This is doubly true for nobility who are expected to be made of hardier stuff than Vicellan citizenry or even nobles in other kingdoms. Sacha has been trained in sword combat as well as archery, though is better with the latter. [*] [b][color=9e0039]Firearms:[/color][/b] Not many in Ithea have the means and determination needed to learn how to use firearms. The technology is still in its infancy. Sacha, though, has been mentored by Knight's Lieutenant Fredrich Lurch in firearm use. He's adapted to his pistol comparatively quickly and has become more proficient with it than with both his sword and archery prowess. [*] [b][color=9e0039]Horseback Riding:[/color][/b] Sacha has never been an equestrian. His horse-riding abilities are subpar compared to most others. Still he has managed to make due after years of training, but usually prefers someone else take the reigns. [*] [b][color=9e0039]Partial Magic Immunity:[/color][/b] Sacha was born mute, a rarity in many parts of Ithea. Humans with no inherent connection to Ithea's magic possess partial immunity to it. Neither his blood nor body would be sufficient for most any ritual or blood magic spells. He is completely immune to any patron bindings through adjuration magic, and is more resistant than some to illusion spells. Still fire burns, wounds can mend, and many spells may compel, fool, or otherwise affect Sacha. [*] [b][color=9e0039]Vexillology & Heraldry:[/color][/b] Nobles throughout Carthus are taught from a young age the important honorifics and names of address as to prepare them for a life of diplomacy. Most Vicellan nobles memorize the noble houses (names, mottos, coat of arms, etc.) of their country, regardless of how large or small. Sacha was no different in this regard. This alongside a natural proclivity for conversation has made him skilled in navigating aristocratic life. As a teenager, Sacha took particular interest in some of the more hermetic origins of nobility and other such institutions in Vicelles. [*] [b][color=9e0039]Trapping & Hunting:[/color][/b] As with many of the seasoned members of the Order, Sacha is knowledgeable in the trapping and hunting of animals. This skill is particularly noteworthy in Vicelles where hunters have more to contend with than simple animals. Sacha possesses some knowledge of the creatures that stalk to fogs, and how best to deal with a number of them. Still, larger and more dangerous prey are still out of Sacha's depth. [/list] [h3][b][i][color=9e0039][center]Magic[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [center] As previously mentioned, Sacha is a muted human. Being born muted doesn't carry with it the same psychological and physical ailments that forced muting does. Instead, those born muted have no ability to cast magic. At first glance, this is not much different from the average person in Ithea. Those born with enough magic to become mages are relatively rare, and most others couldn't cast even the simplest of spells. However, those born muted are incapable of performing blood magic or rituals with their own blood. Neither may they hear the calls of patrons from beyond through adjuration magic. Muted beings cannot use magical devices where a part of their body is required in its use. While they may wield enchanted weapons or armor- they cannot wear the face of another through glamours. They cannot channel magic through objects, nor can they alone undo or unbind spells and rituals.

[/list] [h3][b][i][color=9e0039][center]History[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [b][color=9e0039]History:[/color][/b] Sacha du Forestier was born to Duchess Emile Forestier du Decarte and Duke Vincent du Forestier. Sacha's birth had been quite controversial as rumors suggested that the duchess had miscarried. Despite doubts, Sacha was born on the 18th of Summerhill. Sacha would grow up spending most of his time with tutors, servants and cousins. His mother was never mean or particularly nasty to him, but was cold. Certainly more distant to Sacha than to his older siblings, Lyra and Joseph. Meanwhile, the Duke was mostly bed-ridden. He'd suffered from a number of injuries having fought in the War alongside the Astorians and Dwarves. So too did the nobleman suffer from a mind poisoned by the fog. On good days he was delirious and paranoid. On his worst days he was cruel and prone to fits of violence. The halls of Moonspire Keep filled with the wallows of a haunted man whose frights were dogged in sleep and in-waking. Eager to prove himself Sacha was steadfast in his studies and training. He was no genius, but dedicated. One of Sacha's fondest memories was hearing war stories from local knights, and on rarer an occasion his father. Many of the war heroes still eager to fight joined the efforts at Fort Stag. Sacha would watch as their soldiers would come to the city seeking council with his father. He dreamed of joining the Order himself, but would be severely scolded by his father at the mere suggestion of it. Sacha grew older, more handsome and more rebellious. As the younger son of the Duke, Sacha was promised away to a daughter in a minor house. His dreams of serving in the Order were only exacerbated by the bore of marriage and politics. It wouldn't be until the passing of his father and succession of the duchy to his brother that Sacha would pledge himself to the Order. When no one seemed to care to stop him, Sacha knew that was where he belonged. [/hider]
