Character Played By: Gordon Bothe
Name: Ansel Roux
Title:N/A
Age: 18
Race (Lineage Origin): D'Angeline
Gender: Male
Height: 6'4"
Home Province/Country: Camlach
Appearance: The first thing smost people notice about Ansel are his striking features, his blue eyes, which contain a penetrating stare, matched perfectly by his red hair. Many would almost describe him as pretty. There is an ironic sense of regality from the coach driver that appears when one looks at him. He is tall, strong, and flawless in skin. His rich red hair is straight or slightly curly depending on his mood. His jaw line is perfect. He wears rich tones in his outfits and is almost never seen without a scarf of some sort.
Personality: Ansel’s personality can be summed up in a series, or a set of layers of varying loyalty. His ultimate loyalty is to Elua, the Law, and the Crown. After that is his loyalty to whomever his master may be, then it is his loyalty to his companions, weather they be friends or romantic interests. To these people he is kind, trustworthy, a master of keeping secrets (which makes him invaluable as a coach driver in Elua), and loving. He does, however, have both a moral and emotional snapping point at which all bonds of loyalty break and the person becomes his enemy. This happens if trust is broken, or his master does something unlawful and he is aware of it.
Ansel has a close love of animals, particularly horses. He will also gladly engage in an archery or fist match.
History (At least 2 detailed Paragraphs): Ansel was born to two loving parents: devout, farmers. They had one daughter, Garland, who was a year younger than Ansel. Both children were taught to be hard workers, developing a strong set of morals. Ansel would also often follow his father into hunting and he developed quite the skill with the crossbow. His father had been a soldier for five years and was able to teach him. Ansel also started a club for some of the kids. They were sworn to protect one another and keep all their deeds secret. They would go around having light-hearted fun and doing some good for others. There was a time when Ansel wanted to become a cassieline. However, one crazy night in the hayloft at the age of fourteen with a neighbor girl ended that quite quickly.
That next year a drought hit that section of Camlach and the farm was laid waste. Some people moved to other areas, including the city of Elua. This is what Ansel’s father decided to do. He knew quite a few people there and there would be lodging until they could settle in. With his love of horses and code of secrecy Ansel made the perfect coach driver. Until last year he had worked for a Kushieline noble lady until he reported some of her less than honest dealings. He was fired at once and is searching for a new position again so he can continue to support both parents and sister.
There have also been some rumors of various criminals being found tied up on certain mornings, all claiming to have been confronted by a man with exceptional crossbow skills. But what does that have to do with anything? ;-)
