Aurelius stands behind barriers and magic as a Scholar.
Garlemald taught him they do not always reach far enough.
So he harnessed something else.
One for the man he is.
One for the moments that need someone he'd rather not be.

Felt inspired by the recent 'Eorzea Academy' AU that's going around lately. Testing out Ellipsus cause I like the look!

Technically #VerdantQuill since it's this duo but not REALLY ship-hinted. 😂

- Year 3
- Staff have given up on asking how Aurelius is in classes he’s not enrolled in.
They moved from "Who are you?" to "Aurelius, since you're already here, can you do the handouts?"
- Attendance mysteriously spikes whenever he’s scheduled to present.

📚 Aurelius would continue his quests as usual, probably speaking to Nugget, his Carbuncle on the way.
“Ah! 'Tis thee. I’ve collected a handful of curiosities in your absence! I was beginning to suspect I’d have to narrate both sides of our conversations. A tragic fate, truly."

*ahem*
Here we have:
• Casra de Cielvert, the voice of blunt reason
• my WoL, Aurelius Recueil being 'chaotic/problematic'
• Windaura Skai being gentle,
and
• Yeletelle de Cielvert (Casra's sister) fitting in two categories

📚 Aurelius likes physical touch. Affection wasn't abundant growing up; a hand on someone's shoulder and leaning into a hug, to him, are simply other ways to show warmth.
Life often takes enough already, so he sees no reason to hold kindness back.

A thought flutters like a page half-read, longing to leap from the elezen's lips.
Words that never reach air.
They remain stillborn, cradled gently by the silence, like a book softly closed at dusk—
with nary a soul privy to the ache that lies within his aether.

I felt it'd be nice to have an OC design with gold tresses/highlights in their hair (but nothing too wild colour wise)
Aurelius— aureus (Latin) 'golden'
And Recueil 'to gather/collection' (French) due to French surnames in Ishgard.
Aurelius Recueil!
Fitting for my bookworm WoL. 🙂↕️💙

Aurelius felt his aether slipping out of rhythm. His spells cast too easily, his fatigue delayed. He became hypervigilant, afraid that overexertion might break something in him.
Terrified the Light might taint his Carbuncle, he stopped summoning them during his time on the First.
Younger Aurelius when he was in the Arcanists' Guild! 📖
Yes, he is wearing those tiny red ribbons on his gloves.

Timeline notes — #VerdantQuill
When Aurelius was 13, he collapsed half-frozen in a medic’s flowerbed in the Shroud.
Casra was 20, a junior Twin Adder medic.
Aurelius stayed a few weeks to recover.
Later, he wandered Eorzea, joining the Arcanists’ Guild at 17.

//Yes. Aurelius fears emotional numbness more than failure.
The Reaper’s work demands clean endings; he strives to ensure his heart does not grow as sharp as his scythe.
Improvement for him, is refusing to harden and continuously choosing to ache and remain kind in small ways.
#aurelius_lore
//Aurelius would be a Galarian Ponyta that eventually evolves into a Galarian Rapidash (character growth!)
It stores energy in its mane, a bit like aetherflow. It also has healing powers in its horn and is very good at reading people's hearts. It's also cute and whimsical.
#aurelius_lore
Aurelius never knew his parents. The librarians who raised him were purged by the Holy See when he was 13. He chose not to harden.
Casra survived Carteneau, obeying orders to abandon the dying. He’s spent years trying to be fast enough to never face that choice again.

“An academic on deck?”
“I simply wished to smell the salt.”
#GPOSERS | #FFXIV | #Elezen | #aurelius_lore
Aurelius doesn't know his origins. He was left at the gates of Foundation, raised within Ishgard’s walls.
He's "technically" Ishgardian, by nurture if not by blood.
His parents met in Mor Dhona.
A foundling of crossroads and broken stone.
Mor Dhonan.
But he does not know this.
#aurelius_lore
📚 Aurelius loves out loud. He tells you, you matter, in ways that feel like an epic he wrote just for you.
“You have the kind of quiet strength that makes even the stars pause to listen.”
He will gift, say it reminded him of you. He'll offer his coat, and most of all
He will stay.

In case my WoL/OC stuff gets scattered, if you're interested you can check out this list to see all
the... happenings. 😂
It's where I post in-character nonsense and sometimes serious lore tidbits. Thank you and enjoy!

I saw this wonderful battle quote template floating around and filled it in as my WoL/OC, Aurelius! 💙
