Felix Vincione

Introduction
Born to a noble family in Marcellus, Felix is a male Pegasus Rider who is currently on a journey of self-discovery with his partner Luna, his pegasus. The two are seeking adventure and freedom, two things their former life sorely lacked.

Appereance
Height: 5'9"

Build: Toned Muscle - He has enough muscle to competently wield his sword, but nothing that is noticeable through his armor.

Hair Color: Golden Blonde

Eye Color: Deep Blue

Felix is slightly smaller than the average man. This combined with his lack of recognizable muscle and strict bathing habits give him a more feminine appearance than other's of his age group. This is accentuated because of his soft facial features, and his golden blond ponytail that trails down to his shoulder blades. This is to keep his hair out of his deep blue eyes while flying. He typically wears an orange tunic with a blue belt, one of his remaining signs of his former wealth. While in battle, he typically wears a single piece of lightweight, leather armor over his torso.

Personality
Felix is a very idealistic individual. It is a quality that people around him first notice, and either perceive it as inspiring yet childish, or just annoying. He also holds a firm belief in justice, with a clear view of right and wrong, with little room for a gray area. This allows him to be relentless in a fight when he is certain that the other party is evil, but works against him when there is no clear good or bad.

As a combination of his noble training and his profession, Felix's fighting style is very elegant and artsy, sacrificing raw power for technique. He takes great pride in his art, and looks down upon those who use more direct fighting styles: specifically axes.

Felix is very outgoing and very ready to make friends. This is most evident with his mount Luna, who has been his best friend since early childhood. They have an inseparable bond, and are both pained to be apart from the other for extended periods of time.

Because of his noble upbringing, Felix has an intense curiosity as to how the other half lives. While he is aware of basic survival abilities amongst commoners, the eccentricities of their lives intrigue him. The only aspect that he refuses to adopt when amongst regular people is their lax practice of bathing. Personal hygiene is very important to him, which tends to enforce people's view of his feminine nature.

Prior to Skylessia II
The Vincione family was one of small prominence in the empire. They had been the governing body of a small township ever since one of the earlier Prince's had gifted it to him for some deed long forgotten. Needless to say, the current government's turn away from internal affairs left them to rule like kings. So needless to say, the birth of the Mayor's son was cause for celebration across the township. The young boy brought joy to his parents' eyes.

As he grew, he was lavished with gifts, and given anything he desired. This created the awkward situation on his 7th birthday when he asked for a mount. His father was overcome with pride at his son's choice to become a knight, and quickly pulled some governmental strings to allow his son to search through the stables for a companion. The young boy was lead through the stables to examine all the weanlings. While his father talked with a stableman over which of the newborns had the strongest traits, Felix grew curious and explored.

As he looked through the groups of horses one in particular stood out. Through the crowd of horse legs and foals stood a glorious white weanling, seeming to shine compared to those around it. He approached with care, weaving in and out through the various equine bodies. As he stood before the beautiful, white beast, their eyes locked and it flared it's nostrils, stamping it's hoof.

A cry was heard over the business of the stable, instantly obtaining the attention of his father, the stableman, and the armed guard who was supposed to be watching him. They all shared an equal look of horror of the death of his son, the horse responsible, and his career respectively. Their look of horror remained when they say the source of the cry: a young boy laughing as a pegasus weanling licked his face and nuzzled against him. It didn't matter why a pegasus had chosen a male, what matters was that it happened. The stableman agreed. There was no separating the two after the pegasus had chosen, their bond was a bond for life.

Lord Vincione quickly paid the man a price much too high for a bonded pegasus, mostly as a bribe to keep quiet and quickly smuggled his son and the beast away. Once they arrived at the castle, he ordered all his servants to build an elaborate, covered stable with high ceiling and no windows, and hid away the pair. And so life went for the next 3 years. Felix had been forced to practice swordsmanship, which he took up with great enthusiasm, as he did most things in life. His father hoped that his son would take to the sword, and forget the white monstrosity that was kept in the courtyard, but this was to no avail. His son took to both, very quickly learning to ride his companion, and was slowly beginning to learn the basics preparations for flight.

Felix's father knew that he couldn't keep his son inside a barn forever; the pegasus's wings were slowly developing, and would be flight worthy within the year. In an effort to appease his son, he allowed the pair out into the courtyard only during the dead of night. The pegasus was ecstatic, aside from the occasion grazing trips she had been taken on, this was the first time she had been out under the open sky in her life. It was certainly the first outing she had with her partner, and galloped around the courtyard happily. The two of them were so consumed in their happiness that neither of them realized that the two of them had taken flight until they were already far above the castle grounds.

As the two flew, Felix felt at peace. Like he and pegasus were the only two in the world. As this thought crossed his mind: he had read in a storybook awhile ago that it was tradition to pick a name for a pegasus upon their first flight. He tried desperately to think of something, but the image of the full moon kept invading his thought process. In the end, only one name came to mind: Luna. The pegasus seemed to enjoy her name greatly, and the two flew free in the night sky, their bond stronger than ever.

The two returned to the barn, and Felix left to his room to sleep. Little did they know, they're midnight flight had not gone unnoticed. Some members of the town had seen what they came to call "A beautiful maiden, riding a horse made of moonlight." In all fairness, these "witnesses" were also just leaving the local tavern after a night's worth of drinking. This, however, did not dissuade the public from sneaking up to the castle's walls to catch a glimpse of their "maiden". The following night, however, their perceptions were shattered. Their so called maiden was really the Lord's son, sole heir to the castle. This new's soon became talk of the town, and eventually reached the king.

Lord Vicinone didn't leave his room for three days after that. His dark secret had been revealed, and didn't have the heart to tell him something was wrong with him. So he took the mockery, the slander, and the hatred. Year upon year, he took all these blows to his character, all to avoid telling his son that he was a freak. Felix noticed that his father had grown more secluded, but was too pleased with his newfound freedom to fly with Luna in the daytime. This continued for many years, until one day, he greeted his father as he went down the hall into his chambers. He never saw his father again.

As the Lord's body was buried, Felix's uncle made quick work of consoling his grieving mother. In a matter of time, they were wed, and the council soon began a long debate. Felix was now 17 years old, and could easily be the next Lord. However, his uncle made the case against his "eccentricity" being proof that he was in no way fit to rule. They debated long and hard and eventually put the matter on hold, giving Felix's uncle temporary Lordship until Felix was 18 to judge his worthiness. This decision proved useless as Felix's uncle banished him the next day, sending the nearly grown boy out into the world with only his clothes, his sword, and his partner.

During Skylessia II
Shortly after leaving home, Felix wandered into a town festival creating the events of Midnight Maize Quest. The events left him shaken, and made him wish to get away. He quickly made way for a port city, with the goal of taking any boat to any destination. This opens up to the events of Job at Sea, where Felix sets off for the New Continent.

Relations
Luna is a mare that is slightly shorter than her partner at a shoulder height of 5'6". Her coat is pure white, with a flawless ivory mane that somehow manages to be free to snarls. Luna enjoys flying in the rain and splashing in puddles, so cleaniness is never much of a big issue for. She shares her partner's care-free attitude towards life, and would enjoy nothing more than to gallop through the meadows with him on her back. In battle, she is partial to charge forward without thinking, unless Felix tells her otherwise. The two share a very strong bond, which neither of them find odd, despite it's rarity.
