Character Information

Name: Ignis Scientia
Canon: Final Fantasy XV
Canon Point: Right after Ignis puts on the One True Ring Ring of Lucii and fights Ardyn
Age: 22
History: Ignis's History
Personality: Ignis is the melancholic one of the four temperaments of the quartet that he is a part of. This means that he is the analytical and wise one of the group, speaking carefully and with purpose. He has a cool and collected disposition that cannot be shaken easily. He helps to round off the group with a clear mind and powerful brain.

Ignis is a tactician. He can analyze any situation and come up with the best possible solutions to the task at hand. He can guide battles to the path with the least amount of resistance. He's helped find the weaknesses of enemies and advised his party of which of their strengths to use against them. He has advised which tactics would work best in certain situations. For example, stealth vs. charging in or utilizing the environment to their advantage. Whether or not he's always listened to is another thing entirely, but he is always willing to make sure that everyone knows their options before allowing the others to choose the path that they would like to take.

Ignis is not pushy in his advice. He understands that ultimately, it's the other person's decision. He will let things slide as long as there is no harm done. But if something goes awry when it didn't need to be based on a poor decision, you had best believe that someone will hear about it. This goes along with his sort of maternal like nature. He tends to nag a little bit when it comes to his friends taking care of themselves-- Noctis in particular. He wants to make sure that everyone is at their best at all times not only because of their high position in the Kingdom, but for their well-being. It's how he shows that he cares, though he is teased for being too "mom-like" at times for this. But he takes the heaved sighs, eye rolls, and groans gracefully.

While he may seem nothing but serious with his sternly set face, he has a sort of wit that makes him a little less stuffy than he can be. Puns and sarcasm aren't strangers to his repertoire of banter. He even has a joke or two up his sleeve and knows when he can appropriately make light of a situation with a witty comment. It makes his company more likable than if he were as stony as he appears.

Ignis is collected most of the time, even while his friends are biting each other's heads off or losing their cool, but like anyone, that cool can reach a boiling point. When Ignis is finally pushed to that edge, there is a passionate flame that ignites inside of him to put that situation to a definite end. This is shown when he so desperately tries to save Noctis when it seemed like his life would surely be over and again when his friends were fighting all around him when they needed to be united.

Loyal to his King and to his friends, Ignis would never turn his back on those he cherishes. Even in the face of great danger and even death, Ignis would never abandon his friends in their time of need. This is where he can use both his heart and his head to overcome fierce battles.

When it comes to his friends indulgences, he rarely contests. A good example is with Prompto. Prompto is full of whimsy and excitement and far be it from him to stifle that excitement. Sometimes he will attempt to reign it in with a comment or a pointed sigh, but he doesn't see much point in fighting it. He knows that they all deserve a bit of enjoyment now and again and knows that it is probably impossible for Prompto to be all business all the time. So why not? Besides, Prompto is his friend with a lot of heart. It would be a shame for him to lose it through being held back.

Someone he can be more business oriented with is Gladiolus. Since both he and Gladiolus have always been associated with the Palace ever since they were younger, they have an understanding of the importance of Noctis's position. They both know the rules and understand the politics. Gladiolus is focused more on the physical protection of Noctis while Ignis is more of an adviser, but together they make a fierce team. With Ignis and Gladiolus paired together, they are powerful. Ignis has the utmost respect for Gladiolus and finds his survival knowledge to be useful even if his constant open shirt fashion is less than practical--or modest for that manner.

Ignis and Noctis have a lot of history. They both go way back to the days of childhood. A lot of what Ignis does is inspired by Noctis. His cooking, for example, was inspired by Noctis when he smiled when he first cooked something for him. Everything he does, it's either for the well being of his Kingdom, his comrades, or Noctis. He mothered him while he was living outside of the palace by cleaning up after him and making sure he was eating properly and doing his homework. He learned everything about the Kingdom so that he could properly advise Noctis when he needed it. He even lost his eyesight in a desperate attempt to save his life.

With people in general, he is as polite as he needs to be. His interactions have necessity. Gladiolus is the one that is smooth with people while he is content letting the others do the talking while he observes the conversation. That's not to say he's stand offish, however. Though his demeanor may make it hard for people to approach him.

Ignis may seem cool, but he has a warm heart. His care for his friends shines through for everything he does for them. He goes above and beyond to see that they are safe and in a good place. He knows that they would do the same for him in a heartbeat.

Writing Sample

Sample:
[Ignis had holed himself up in his room at the temple he was living at. There were papers spread out all over a desk along with a book. He had a few devices along with a slate and stylus. While his head was trained down at the papers, his fingers were doing all of the work. As his fingertips grazed over the studded dots of Japanese braille that made up simple words, his mind decoded each character.

He hadn't asked for help. Who could help him? He didn't have any personal resources, so he had to utilize the resources he had access to. There were libraries around the cities of Tokyo. With the use of oral and aural devices, civilian guidance, and careful planning, he was able to make his way to libraries that had books on braille. He was able to come across assistive technology to help him create text and decode this printed language that was unfamiliar to him.

He had an important job to do. As a shinki, his god needed him to be of use. How could he be useful in his current state? He had to use his lack of sight to his advantage or else he will be shelved. In order to make his blindness his strength, he had to overcome the basics. So that is what he set out to do.

There were many nights he spent well into the early hours of the morning only to catch a few hours of sleep then move out to wander about the temple to memorize it still and fulfill his duty to his god.]

One...teaspoon of...cinnamon.

[He spoke aloud as his fingers brushed against the raised paper.]

This should be a fairly simple undertaking. It would certainly be a good start to working my way into the kitchen.

[He continued to brush his fingers over a recipe for no-bake oatmeal raisin cookie bites.

That required a new skill set, however. Effectively fumbling around a room full of sharp objects and complicated appliances that can reach dangerous temperatures. There is no better way to learn by doing sometimes.

There was a firm "bloody hell" as a bowl full of oats was accidentally flipped onto the floor by a searching hand. There was a hissed "blast" as the blade of the food processor dug into his thumb. And of course a muttered "damn" couldn't be missed when his toe very nicely found the leg of the table that he had miscalculated having moved after his mixing of the ingredients shifted the table.

But after a painful process, he had made something. Whether or not they looked presentable, he wasn't sure. They were supposed to be spherical and they felt spherical to him. They certainly tasted like they were no-bake oatmeal bites whatever those were really supposed to taste like. They were quite edible.]

Well then, that wasn't too bad for my first venture into domestic duties. My second venture, however...

[He pushes some spilled oats with his toe. There was probably blood somewhere on the floor and counter as well.]
Other

Anything Else?: Nope!
