Name: Van Giroux
Age: 25
Role: Older Brother
Magical Ability: He can manipulate and control shadows, as if they were sheets of cloth. He has the capability to wrap an individual and restrain them if he pleases. This power is stronger during the night, or any area where there is a majority of darkness, but in the day, or any area where light is substantial it is weaker and harder for Van to control. He can morph his strands of shadows into any simple shape he chooses, such as a tentacle, or blade. Another variation of his power is his ability to sink into any nearby shadows, as well as seep out. The same weaknesses apply to this ability as well, if there is light nearby, then it will take more concentration, and if it is not present, then he will be able to conceal others with him as well.
Appearance: His structure is quite average. He is a height of 5’11, and a weight of 193 pounds. He is only so muscular, as he does not engage in too many physical activities. His hair is black and wavy, and his eyes are a dreary grey. He also has a small scar on his chest, angled just over his heart. He does not speak of it.
Preferred Attire: His clothes are all clean cut, and produced from the finest linen. He usually wears a black aristocratic suit. His boots are black, and often reveal a quaint shine in their leather, so as to make it seem obvious that they are polished on a weekly basis. He wears black pants, which hems neatly cover the top of his boots. The majority of his pants are curtained by a long black tunic –though it could more likely be described as an extravagant overcoat- with exquisite gold lining on the trim. The end of the tunic stops mid-way at his knees. Under the tunic he wears a silk, white shirt, which cuffs are slightly exposed out of the sleeves of his tunic. During the winter, or cold nights, he will sport a fur cloak, which lolls over his shoulders and arms. The end of it hangs, at the back of his knees. This majestic attire makes it obvious that he is a man bent on keeping up his self image.
To keep himself looking presentable, he will keep his tunic tightly buttoned. This also conceals the mysterious necklace laying about his neck. The only one who knows of its origin is his younger brother.
Personality: In basic terms he could be described as cold and analytical, just as one would expect of an administrator of shadows, though there is more than meets the eye to, Van Giroux. This Noble of France is a man of strict words and he does not waste time in harbouring his half-decent morale. If he feels that a person needs to hear a harsh truth, he will be the one to throw it in their face. He is also not prone to doing any favours either, whatever the task may be. Van will only assist when he feels it is truly necessary. Aside from that, Van Giroux is often a quiet and calm individual.
Likes: Good etiquette, handsomely dressed individuals, the dark or at least dim lighting, and opera.
Dislikes: Blue eyes, people with an improper lifestyle, un-dependable people.
Hobbies: Using his abilities on a daily basis.
Fears: The death of a loved one.
Weaknesses: The light where he only has limited use of his magic.
Life Goal: To live a peaceful life without hindrance, and to help Cryille Bonnaire find his sister’s murderer.
