CHARACTER INFORMATION-
Canon Character and Series: Agrias Oaks, Final Fantasy Tactics
In-Game Name: Agrias Oaks
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Position & Ship: Quartermaster First Mate, the Silvana
Appearance: Blonde haired and hazel eyed, everything about Agrias screams "knight." She keeps her long hair braided tightly behind her neck, stands tall, and constantly wears a serious expression. Having been raised her entire life to be a knight, Agrias values functionality over asthetics, so she never uses cosmetics (with the exception of formal events) and wears comfortable clothes that make working on an airship easier. She owns armor and a set of leather clothes from her days as a knight, but she rarely, if ever, wears them anymore. Such protection is usually not needed, especially on a ship like the Silvana.
Personality: Agrias is nothing if not loyal. Like the old knight stereotype, she is devoted to her superiors (and when assigned one, her charge) and thinks nothing of putting her life on the line in order to serve and protect. A former leader of a band of knights, she also has no issues with taking leadership, able to rattle off orders and organize entire groups of people with relative ease. Many people who meet her would describe Agrias as a sensible, commanding young woman.
She can, however, be aggressive if provoked. Agrias will not stand for rudeness or insults, whether they're directed at her, her charge, her group, or to knights in general. She is also religious, as her training as a Holy Knight might suggest. Agrias always attempts to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, but will not hesitate to raise her sword should she have to.
While she is quite at home on the battlefield and as a bodyguard, Agrias somewhat falters in real life. Having devoted her entire life to chivalry, she finds "normal" people, especially women, perplexing and childish. She does not like having attention drawn to herself in a social setting, and has little interest in things most women her age would be, such as fashion, gossip, or dating. Agrias avoids large gatherings if possible. She is so determined to avoid them that it's gotten to the point that she does not tell her own birthdate to anyone other than her closest friends.
Though, sometimes, these "closest friends" of hers like to let the secrets she tells them slip once in a while.
Abilities/Weapons: Despite looking like an average woman, Agrias wields swords and heavy knight swords with ease. While also decent enough at using other weapons such as bows, guns, or katanas, Agrias is not as skilled with those weapons and vastly prefers the traditional sword over any other weapon.
Agrias also has a set of skills exclusive to the Holy Knight called the Holy Sword. These skills call upon magic (though the priests and knights she trained with believed it was divine power) to strike the enemy for damage and attempt to cripple them. The one she uses most often is called Stasis Sword, which attempts to temporarily paralyze the enemy. Others can leave an opponent disoriented or attempt to hinder their magical powers. These techniques do not always hit, and even if they do, they will not always have the hindering effects.
How well can your character hack?: Agrias can hack up to medium difficulty, but will not do so unless she feels there is a reason to.
Weaknesses: Agrias did not have a normal upbringing. As a result, she is extremely uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations and can only rely on what she has been taught. She also tends to forget that an airship crew is not a platoon of knights and thus she should not treat them as such. Also, because she is so deeply rooted in the knight's way of life, she has difficulty understanding different points of view and sometimes comes off as old fashioned.
Agrias literately lives and dies by the sword. It is her livelihood, take that, and she is rendered near useless. Her Holy Sword magic requires a sword in order to be used, and she has not been trained in traditional magic, so she cannot cast any magic spells. For this reason, she carries a sword on her at all times.
History: From the moment she was born, Agrias' life was already decided.
The Oaks family is a clan of knights under the service of Atkascha family - an Eraelian family of nobles. They have a heavy tradition of service to the Atkashas, and Agrias is no exception. When she was but a child, she was taught all the basic principles of chivalry. Her dream was to be a knight in service, and everything she did as a young girl was for this long term goal Her family was proud, and they started training her for her future. At eighteen, Agrias was sent to the Bellicus academy. In a day and age where old fashioned chivalry was becoming less and less relevant, a formal miliatary training allowed the Oaks family to "keep up with the times," so to speak.
When Agrias returned home at twenty-one, she was immediately sent away again, this time to the Saint Konoe monastary in the small, remote Eraelian town of Leslia. That was where her training would begin. Agrias had always shown great potential, even as a child, and because of this, the family elected to have Agrias undergo specialized training - so that she may be come a holy knight. While at Saint Konoe, Agrias was subject to grinding daily routines, both physical and mental. Not only was she being trained to be a knight, she was also being rigorously taught in religion. One cannot become a holy knight if one's faith is weak. Even for a strong, religious woman like Agrias, it was a struggle to impress her instructors and to just survive to the end of the day. The priests were especially tough on her due to her lineage as an Oaks. Still, Agrias met all expectations and she returned home once again, this time a fully qualified holy knight at twenty-four.
Having achieved her lifelong dream, the next step was for Agrias to begin her work as a knight. For a year, she did her duties, guarding the Atkascha family. It was a relatively peaceful time, and the days went by with little incident. Suddenly, the patriarch of the Atkascha family died, and power was left to his wife. The supposed heir to the Atkascha family was to be his adopted daughter, but soon before he died, his wife had bore him a son. Now the question of who inherits the Atkascha family is being disputed, even in the present. For now, the matriarch holds power, which she has no qualms in abusing. Becuase the matriarch insists her son is to be the heir, and Agrias believed the adopted daughter was the rightful successor, she was dismissed. As a result, Agrias became a knight without a master to serve. Angry, Agrias left Eraelia. However, she never stopped worrying about the Atkascha's adopted daughter. Guarding that daughter was one of her duties, and she genuinely fears for the daughter's life.
To survive all on her own, Agrias worked odd jobs and occasionally offered up her services as a bodyguard or a mercenary. These, however, were not the same as being a knight, and eventually, Agrias stopped doing those kinds of jobs in order to hold onto what chivalry she had left. Unfortunately, by doing that, she lost a sizable amount of income.
The solution to her troubles came to her in the form of the Silvana. It was one of the few ships that came to her town on a regular basis back when it was a mere courier ship, and she had gotten to know the captain and first mate a bit from casual conversation. It was a good, well run ship with a strong reputation, which Agrias liked. Most importantly, it would provide her with an income and room and board without having her sacrifice her morals. But just to be sure that she was making the right decision, Agrias spent a few days getting to know the ship and its crew a little bit better. In the end she finally decided to sign on.
