Darious Nouvelle

Darious Nouvelle

Appearance

Darious is a tall and broad-shouldered Asgardian with sun-kissed skin, short platinum-blonde hair streaked with faint silver, and bright blue eyes that radiate conviction. His armor of silver and blue gleams with golden trim and bears the crest of House Nouvelle on the chestplate. A blue cloak rests across one shoulder, and his bearing is that of a man forged by both war and love.

Personality

Disciplined, just, and deeply paternal, Darious balances strength with empathy. He embodies the Asgardian ideal of honor but tempers it with compassion, leading with respect rather than dominance. Though stern in demeanor, his affection for his children—particularly Gus—shows through quiet gestures rather than words. He values humility, hard work, and the courage to stand one's ground even in failure.

History

The Silver Wing Commander

Father and Mentor

After retirement, Darious focused his energy on family, mentoring his children and helping them find balance between strength and compassion. Though his household often erupts in playful chaos, his presence commands respect—a living reminder that true nobility lies in restraint as much as in valor.

Synopsis

He is often called the 'Quiet Shield of House Nouvelle,' a father whose steady hand has guided both armies and hearts.

Trivia

Collects old Asgardian medals and war banners, keeping them polished in his study.

Refuses to raise his voice—his children say that his silence is scarier than shouting.

Once trained under Odin's personal command during the Dawnfront Campaign, earning a commendation for tactical brilliance.

Secretly keeps a journal of every Nouvelle family victory, whether on the battlefield or at the dinner table.

His morning routine never changes: sunrise meditation, blade maintenance, and breakfast with Lysandra.

Known for his piercing gaze that can silence an entire war council — Nyla calls it 'Dad's divine judgment beam.'

He once sparred with Gus for training purposes and let him win — Gus still doesn't know.

When Nyla was younger, he pretended not to notice her pranks just to see how creative she'd get.

Believes that laughter is a vital part of discipline, though he rarely shows it; Lysandra swears she's seen him smirk mid-chaos.

Keeps a single chestnut on his desk as a 'reminder of patience,' after Nyla's spell once turned Gus during a strategy meeting.

Velena often says her father's lectures last longer than divine sermons; Darious replies, 'Then you'll remember them forever.'

Polishes his armor every week, even in retirement — claiming that rust is 'a metaphor for neglect.'

Still maintains his Silver Wing insignia, though he now wears it on the inside of his cloak near his heart.

Is often the tiebreaker in family debates. His final word is law, but he always ends with, 'Now, who's setting the table?'

Was once offered command of the entire Silver Wing Legion but declined, stating, 'Command without family is conquest without soul.'

Despite his strict nature, he once built a wooden training sword for Gus when he was five — the boy still keeps it hidden away.

Every year, he and Lysandra visit the memorial of fallen Silver Wing soldiers, laying one white feather for each name remembered.

He taught Thalia her first sword stance and Velena her first battle hymn — and he remembers both perfectly.

Believes the greatest weapon is restraint; his personal motto: 'Strike last, and never in anger.'
