HISTORY
FAMILY: First born son of two Riders. Non-blood 'brother' ties with Noctis, Prompto and Gladio.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
BIRTHPLACE: Minor hold beholden to High Reaches
HISTORY: Ignis' Father had been close to the Minor hold beholden to High Reaches Regis. At a young age Noctis and Ignis had been raised close enough as friend, and further grew to brotherhood. Ignis had always fallen to feel like the older sibling, taking care of Noctis in part. Ignis always had a knack for cooking, and often would make baked sweets for Noctis as a reward for when Noctis actually ate his vegetables.
At the age of sixteen, Ignis' father had urged him to travel to Telgar Weyr to become a candidate. He had lived with Telgar Weyr for a year alongside his friend Gladio. They had waited for over a year. When him and Gladio visited the sand for the egg touching, Ignis had a unique experience and a jolt of energy that seemed to push through him.
Ignis couldn't help but write to his brothers back home, and hearing that the hatching was approaching, he had a surprise visit from his friends who would watch with anticipation from the stands. Perhaps it was a moment of inspiration which would spark the idea of becoming a candidate in the future for his brothers.
When the hatching took place, Ignis had his eyes on the egg he remembered giving him the odd feeling. When the dragon had hatched, he watched as the tiny brown came right for him. There was no hesitation, and the moment the two had locked eyes Ignis felt that same sensation, though this seemed to drive him over the edge. That energetic jolt, and a sensation of clarity. He'd felt like he'd become complete, unknowing that he even had a feeling of there being something missing in his life. He knelt down and reached his hand outward. The dragon's tiny head would nuzzle speaking his first words. "Come. There is much to be done, my bonded, but do remember to rest now and then." Proceeding to do the necessary needs to take care of his new bonded was all Ignis would do.
With luck, it would seem his friend Gladio had also impressed within this clutch. Congradulations were given by their visiting friends from the stands. Gladio and Ignis would spent their time in Telgar Weyr until their dragons had come of age to travel. When Ignis heard word that Noctis and Prompto had left for High Reaches Weyr to become candidates themselves? Ignis thought move to High Reaches Weyr himself to see how their friends fared in waiting. He had managed to apply for the transfer and make his home in High Reachers Weyr without any setbacks.
As a strategist by nature, he spends a lot of time studying old threadfall patterns when there isn't much to. As there are no tasks at hand, he still wishes to learn as much as he can in preparations for when he does take flight into battle. When he isn't busying himself with his work, he still makes sure to attend to his friends, keeping them on schedule and making sure that their diets are perfectly balanced.
