Malakai’s Lore:
Malakai was born into an Ishgardian noble house where love was measured in expectations.
His father viewed him as an heir first and a son second, tracking his growth through cold “progress reports” that documented discipline, skill, and composure. (1/7)

#Malakai_Lore
Ishgardian training does not begin with the lance.
Before that, Malakai was taught how to fight when it was taken from him— how to break a hold, how to rise after being thrown, and how to end a fight quickly without flourish. (1/3)
#Malakai_Lore
Malakai plays the piano in his spare time.
Not for practice. Not as a discipline.
It is just because he enjoys it.
It is unfamiliar, at first—
Doing something without a purpose.
But he finds he does not mind it.
And perhaps that is reason enough.
#Malakai_Lore
Malakai isn’t outwardly dangerous, but he’s definitely someone you shouldn’t try your luck with.
Between dragoon training and survival combat, he can handle himself even without his lance— (1/2)
#Malakai_Lore
Malakai does not shy from physical touch, but neither does he give it lightly. In a household where restraint was expected, such gestures were rare—save for the quiet kindness of his mother. Discipline shaped the rest. +
#Malakai_Lore
Malakai bought the journal in the Jeweled Crozier before leaving Ishgard, intending to use it to write down memories from his travels.
Instead, the pages slowly filled with flowers.
The first he pressed simply because he wanted to remember where he had found it. (1/3)

#Malakai_Lore
Malakai was raised to believe that discipline, self-refinement, and correcting his failures are forms of improvement expected of him rather than something pursued out of personal desire. (1/3)
#Malakai_Lore
Malakai has a hidden sweet tooth!
When he was a child, his father would not allow him to indulge often, so he learned to hide small treats in his room.
As an adult, he still does. It was not out of rebellion. Just more of a habit.
He will absolutely deny it if asked though! 👀

Here is the GPOSE idea I came up with! This is a brief discussion between a Young Malakai and his father Geraud Vanhreil!
As you can see, Malakai is not pleased to hear “his” duty that his father had put up on him. 🥲
#GPOSERS | #Elezen | #Malakai_Lore
Beneath Malakai’s serious demeanor, there is a hint of content whenever he comes across any animals such as cats and or dogs, whether strays or not.
When he is in public and sees them, he would scout his surroundings to make sure no one is around before he pets and plays with them.

Malakai’s Draconic Traits
During an intense Dragoon training under Ser Alberic in Coerthas, the prolonged exposure and the use of his Drachen armor imbued with potent draconic aether, resonated with his own aetheric signature.
