First Impressions
BUILDFairly broad shouldered, with a good deal of practical muscle from a combination of archery and wyvern-riding, though he's more wiry than bulky. Powerful shoulders and thighs. DRESSConsistently wears suits in Kaisou, usually in lighter grays with brightly colored buttonups underneath, with a preference for yellow tones. Wears a silver earring in his left ear. Dresses to emphasize his shoulders and deemphasize his hips. Tends to wear shoes with thick soles to look slightly taller. DEMEANOURStands with good but not rigid posture. Gestures a lot while speaking. Usually smiling, though the perceptive may notice it's rarely genuine. SOUND:OLFACTORY:Not heavily scented, but favors some kind of subtle incense-like cologne and aftershave, and rose- or spice-scented soaps. Keeps very clean.
Abilities
THE CREST OF RIEGANA hereditary magical ability from his mother's side of the family. After dealing damage to another person or creature, Claude may sometimes recover from his own injuries near-instantaneously. It's essentially a healing factor that only activates when he hurts others. When it activates, a glowing, crescent moon-like symbol appears. ARCHERY EXPERTCapable of ridiculous trick shots, including hitting targets while backflipping or standing on the saddle of a moving horse or wyvern, and other similarly unnecessary stunts. WYVERN RIDERAssuming a properly trained mount, Claude can perform all sorts of aerial stunts on wyvernback, including aileron rolls, loop de loops, and other tricks. TACTICAL MASTERMINDKnown for his keen mind for strategy back in Fódlan, Claude has a sometimes uncanny understanding of others and how they're likely to react in a given situation. While this was of great use to him as a wartime leader, he also uses this insight to needle secrets out of those around him for the sake of it.
Inventory
FAILNAUGHTThe Heroes' Relic of House Riegan. Though currently depowered, at full strength it allows those who can wield it to fire arrows with incredible force and precision as well as dodge any blow directed at them for limited periods of time. Those who can't wield it, due to not bearing the Crest of Riegan, risk being turned into lizard-like monstrosities if they try. ARISTOCRATIC REGALIAThe clothes on his back when he arrived in Kaisou. More than a little on the ostentatious side, they were designed for a combination of impressing his importance upon those he met as Duke Riegan and the leader of the Leicester Alliance as well as keeping him moderately protected from the elements while on wyvernback. Very warm, kind of uncomfortable. HOUSEPLANTSA small but growing collection of poisonous or otherwise interesting plants, for use in alchemical experiments.
