Appearance

Physical Description

Lysander serves in the kingdom military as a knight and general, and therefore has experience with training the body and spirit. He is well-built, but more an ectomorph in the sense he is slimmer than the average soldier under his command. Despite it, he keeps himself active, often on his feet around his garrison and home. This keeps him slim, and training comes easily, keeping a fair tone to his muscles. He can hold himself up in a battle, but is far more suited to politics than fighting on the frontlines.

Facial Features

He is very proud of his facial hair, and keeps his beard and mustache trimmed well either from his or Gwendolyn's assistance. He keeps the edges thicker, such as around his jawline, and the rest faded.
 
In the wintertimes, he often grows out his beard an inch or two depending on the severity. He enjoys the more rugged appearance, but trims it down excessively as soon as spring rolls around due to the time it takes to keep it maintained properly.

Identifying Characteristics

His dark brown is longer on the top than it is on the sides. He is also particular with his facial hair as mentioned above, and can usually stand out from its design in itself.

Apparel & Accessories

Lysander is a big fan of suits and formal attire. Even when lounging, dress shirts and slacks are his favorite choices. Though his most common selections are navy and crimson, he is known to dabble in forest greens or dark greys depending on the occassion. If he is attending anything with his wife, however, he will match her regardless of what his own color preference is.
 
He wears little in terms of accessories, but always adorns his wedding ring and very rarely takes it off, save for the evenings. He prefers to stand out as he is, and simply go as he is rather than live up to the expectation of other nobility and wearing worthless decorations.

Mentality

Education

Lysander grew up in a militial family, and therefore received much of his training under the supervision of a militial officer. Because of this training, he went straight into the military when he became of age, and underwent their education program. Much of his knowledge came from this, and all his retained information came from this system.
 
When he was discharged from the army, he found himself unable to make a proper way in society with his lack of societal training. So he went to higher education, training in the way of nobility to understand their behaviors. It was where he learned more about leadership and got a foot in the door for noble interactions and alliances. Because of his silver tongue, he was able to move up the ranks quickly, and use his education to the maximum.

Employment

Lys currently works as General of the Guard under Duchess Abi'Laark.
 
Previously, he had worked up to Sr. Sergeant, commanding up to 25 soldiers in making their way around the southern empire.

Failures & Embarrassments

He considers being discharged from the army his greatest failure, even if it was not up to him. He struggles with it even years later, reliving the moments and unable to let them go.

Intellectual Characteristics

Lysander was born into confidence with a smooth tongue. Always eager to please those he meets with, he parries conversation easily with strangers and knows how to make acquaintances, and more important allies, without much pushback, making his garrison one of the most successful bases in Maintebeau. Whispers pass about his quick wit and thinking, and he is approached often about how to keep control of soldiers and their many responsibilities. Lysander enjoys this quite a bit, the attention and conversation a thrill and something to look forward to on dreary days. It also means he has stories to share with his wife, who has helped him grow over the years into the man that is admired by many today.
