Character: Val de Foncé (Valentine Nicasius Maxence Mérovée Olivier de Foncé) Occupation/Role: scholar, demolitions expert, designer of siege engines and other structures, zoologist, renaissance man about town. adventurer. A/R/N/M: 27/human/Orlesian/not a mage (so sad)
Elevator Pitch: The disinherited son of the Mérovée de Foncé, Comte de Falaise sur la Mont, Val has spent the better part of his life studying and planning adventures with his friends for strictly academic purposes. He loves Orlesian wine, Orlesian women, and Orlesian song. The first one can have no exceptions, the last two, maybe some exceptions. His specialties are demolitions, destructive construction, aqueducts, rare creatures, casual cheerful racism, joke-telling, and kissing.
Where They've Been: He's been everywhere, man. Specifically tho: he grew up on his family holdings of la Mont south of Val Royeaux. At 12 he was furnished with an apartment and staff in Val Royeaux so he could study at the University. At 16 he started "slumming" in Val Royeaux, aka, he dressed himself and ate all his meals at high end taverns and lived with his friends. Then he and his friends traveled everywhere doing fieldwork. Most recently, they have fled Par Vollen.
Typical Day: TBD, since he's new, but in general Val will be found: requisitioning parts of the library. Working hard, or hardly working. Hanging out having loud debates in Orlesian in the tavern and drawing in helpless hapless bystanders to weigh in on the issue. Planning adventures. Collecting artifacts. Working on explosives. Exploding things. You know, scholarly stuff.
Plot Interests: Mostly just settling in right now but if you want someone to sneer at you, here he is.
CR Interests:
- PRIOR CR. He's Orlesian nobility even if he's been disinherited for seven years now. the de Foncé family is known for its collection of fantastic mansions, its killer parties in the suburbs of Val Royeaux, its trained horses, and its fortune in precious gemstones, especially sapphires. Val, meanwhile, is known for laziness, explosions, womanizing, cleverness, and his predilection for setting off on Thedas-trotting adventures to avoid work. and to get cool stuff. - SCHOLARS. He doesn't act it, but Val is very clever, and likes other clever people. Please don't get offended if he's a little snotty about how clever he is. - APPRECIATORS. People to impress. People to laugh at his jokes. - MAGES. Val loves mages. Loves 'em. He's not always respectful or sensitive, but he is genuine. - QUNARI. Val also loves black powder, which he has been trying to replicate or mimic since age 14. He isn't (surprise!) very respectful, but he is deeply interested in this innovation, even if he's keeping it on the DL. - NEGATIVE CR. Val is a little more offensive than his friends, in that he hardly cares who he offends or how. He enjoys a good fight. He enjoys being better than people. He's pretty sure elves are servants, but in a here-hold-my-coat-you-walking-hatstand kind of way.
AU Your Character Into Modern Thedas: Posh playboy career student with a house in every zip code. Summers in exotic places. Has been spear fishing.
