Appearance
Ignis has short, dark brown hair. It's short and layered. In the back, it's somewhat slicked down where as up front, his bangs are spiked upwards. Almost giving him a bit of a mullet kind of hairstyle. On the bridge of his nose, hears wears glasses to better help him see. He has pale blue eyes.
As far as attire, Ignis has a tendency to wear leather suite jackets, his style looking similar to Noctis in a way. Ignis is always seen dressed in a suite usually sporting a white undershirt that he buttons up. Other than the white undershirt, Ignis usually wears black. Footwear, he wears dark black dress shoes. Complexion wise, Ignis is void of any scarring. Out of his rag tag group of friends, he appears to be one of the more serious types. Never the one to really get involved in any rough housing.
Ignis is not very tall. Gladiolus easily stands over him in height. Ignis is 6 feet even and is at least 170 pounds.
Personality:
Ignis is a reserved person. He usually sticks to his close friends, Gladiolus and Noctis. He still has yet to get along with Prompto since the guy has an annoying habit of pushing his buttons. Despite the fact that Prompto annoys him, and sometimes even Gladiolus can annoy him, Ignis would die for either of them. He is paranoid of Prompto but as long as the blond remains true and loyal to Noctis and them, Ignis would help him out. Ignis is the type that would risk his life for the others. He is not one to back stab any of his friends.
Usually being the quiet one, Ignis is more observant of his surroundings. It's because of this that he's able to pick up on certain things that may take place before it happens. On top of it, he has an intellect that is not easily contended with. When he means he'd achieve something one hundred times fold rather than the suggested ten times fold, he means it. With his intelligence, it makes him a useful asset to the team.
Ignis has a hard time getting along with people like Prompto, as mentioned before. He's more mature than most and has a serious attitude most of the time. Ignis is the type you'd ask for advice on certain things. Ignis is not easily trusting of others and tends to be the one watching out for the group. Ignis is especially wary of someone turning around and stabbing them all in the back, hence why Ignis sticks close to his main group that he's a part of. He trusts no one else as easily as he does Noctis and Gladiolus. Prompto, Ignis trusts as far as he can throw him. Since Ignis can't toss him very far, that tells you just how far his trust goes. So far though, Prompto has proven his worth time and again. Ignis is just the paranoid type and has yet to get used to the blond's presence.
Ignis has a liking for class and style with a mixture of leather and dark colors thrown into the mix. Noctis and he share a similar taste when it comes to leather and dark colors. Almost always, Ignis feels the need to dress like a professional. Being Noctis's chauffeur, he has to look the part since it wouldn't do for a prince to have a casually dressed driver. He prides in his cars and if someone were to wreck them, he's not beyond shedding tears over them. Ignis does not trust Prompto with his cars or driving them in general, especially when he's in the car. Ignis prefers to drive the others around over someone else driving.
He has a low tolerance for those that are obnoxious. It's because of his low tolerance that it's like asking for a miracle for Prompto and Ignis to get along. Ignis can be considered the type to make snide comments and has a wide vocabulary when doing so. Sometimes, it's difficult to tell if he's complimenting you or insulting you to your face. Can be a little sarcastic at times.
Ignis is very loyal, as mentioned earlier. He would never betray his friends and is always on the look out for traitors. Where he threatens some of the group for getting on his nerves, it's all just bark and no bite. His friends get away with murder when it comes to annoying him but if someone else were to do it, they'd find a meaner side to Ignis. In battle, Ignis is calculating and quick to find a weak spot. He's able to attack multiple targets at once with his throwing knives and nodachi. Ignis always keeps on a cool head on his shoulders and doesn't let his anger get to him. With his brain, he's able to apprehend a number of people by himself and rightfully so considering he's a guardian to Noctis Caelum.
History:
Born and raised in the same city as Gladiolus and Noctis, it was only a matter of time before they got to know each other. Before meeting them, Ignis was a distant child. He never wanted to play with the other kids and chose to sit in a corner and read books all day or mess with any recent gadgetry he could get his hands on. Why was Ignis so distant? Well, intellectually, he was far more developed mentally than the average child. His intellect was so strong, he was thought to be a prodigy but it didn't help him socially. Playing video games, Ignis was introduced to driving for the first time. Ignis had a knack for driving games and always wanted to drive an actual car but was still to young to do so.
Ignis's mother was a stay at home mom and took care of Ignis most of his childhood while his father was always busy with his work. As a kid, he never knew what work his father's job entailed. Every time Ignis asked him, his father would say that he was some sort of guard but never went into any details about it. All Ignis knew was that his father would always need to take his sword to work every day along with him.
As any kid usually wanted to do, Ignis wished to aspire to be like his father. He always thought using a sword was rather cool. He was especially ecstatic when his father took him into the city to get his very own and began to train him how to use one. Ignis excelled rather quickly and after seeing things on television, Ignis wished to learn how to throw a knife.
During the times his father took him into the city, Ignis was introduced to two children. One of them, Ignis's father claimed to be the son of his boss. It was an awkward first meeting as the three looked at each other, not really sure what to do. Ignis was socially inept being so distant so he wasn't really sure how to interact with the other two. One of the other boys seemed as unsure how to interact and seemed to shy away under Ignis's curious gaze. It had been Gladiolus, the eldest of the three, to intiate things. Enticing them all to play a simple game of ball. Ignis was the last to join the group and ever since then, they hung out together through thick and thin whether the streets or what have you.
Gladiolus was the tough kid, always getting into a fight and Noctis, Ignis eventually discovered turned out to be the prince of their country. It didn't take long for Ignis to put two and two together about his father's job. In his eyes, that made his father all the cooler.
Unfortunately, since their country was at war with other countries, Ignis lost his father when he turned thirteen. His mother lasted until Ignis turned eighteen before succumbing to cancer. Being good friends with Noctis and Gladiolus, Ignis wanted to help out with the royal family and protect his friends. His intellect achieved him the role of strategist as well as one of Noctis's guardians and crystal guardian. Also having a knack for real driving too, Ignis also became a driver for Noctis.
As the years passed by, Ignis grew up with his best friends and the war between countries seemed to be coming to an end, finally. A peace treaty was to be signed and things would hopefully come to a close. Unfortunately, during the day that the actual treaty was to be signed, their country was under attack by Niflheim. Ignis and Gladiolus joined forces with Noctis to protect him with all the attempts made on their friend's life. Along the way, they encountered a blond gun user. Ignis didn't like him the moment he saw him with that gun considering guns were banned from their country. However, Noctis had seen something in him and had accepted him into their group. Naturally respecting Noctis's wishes, Ignis also accepted him as one of them but still has misgivings about Prompto now and then. He has, to this day, no idea that Prompto was a fugitive.
Now, the group prepares as their country is about to arrange a counterstrike, most probably led by Noctis and his father. Regardless, Ignis, Gladiolus and Prompto would be supporting Noctis every step of the way. There's no idea what lays in store now for them all.
