It might not be tonight, as I have to go to bed somewhat early to wake up for work tomorrow, but I’m thinking about making Ignis canon divergent — and, yes, while he’s already technicallly canon divergent, I mean... really canon divergent. I’ll be writing something up, seeing what I want to do with him.
Tentative starter call, might soft cap if necessary.
If we’ve a thread going from before that you would like to continue instead, reply/hit me up in IMs, if you don’t mind.

|| EDUCATION.
Education and appropriate socialisation were very much the priorities of young Ignis’ life. Just as many in the Scientia house before him, his uncle Augustus oversaw his enrolment in Lucis’ most prestigious educational institutes after the boy came into his care: the majority of his years he spent in attendance at the Summa Lucis, a private school for grades one through twelve with a curricular focus on the sciences and humanities, taught by both current and former field experts. He skipped grades eight and nine, due in part to private tutoring, which continued on into his college years at the age of sixteen. He would go on to eventually receive his Master’s in Public Administration from the Insomnian Chapter of the Aurelian Institute.
Most classmates of his later years, especially in university, would claim him a bright and energetic young man with an unrivalled passion for learning, though this wouldn’t have always seemed the case.
After the deaths of his parents at age three, Ignis became introverted, incredibly reserved and, even though he continued his schooling and tutoring at an accelerated rate, the panic disorder he developed severely impeded his ability to make friends and socialise with his peers, also not helped by the age gap between them after skipping grades.
And yet, surprisingly, the difficulties that arose at such an early age, preventing young Ignis from making many friends at all, are almost exactly what allowed the adviser to befriend his charge. Noctis was not overly-apologetic, nor was the young prince judgemental: he was one of few who Ignis felt himself allowed to be a child, and allowed to show his emotions. Many of these issues the adviser kept concealed from most, though the prince and the king were two of his pillars, the stability he needed in order to overcome.

Know that I loved you. Know that it was not enough.
Leigh Bardugo (via quotemadness)
|| PIECEMEAL HEADCANONS I (may expand upon later)
I. Ebony is most certainly an addiction Ignis formed in grad school. Back then regular coffee just wasn’t strong enough (and they hadn’t yet come out with any kind that was both strong enough and brew-at-home) so a friend made a recommendation and that was the end of it. It still tastes quite a lot like black coffee, but with allspice and some sugar mixed in to give a sort of sweet-yet-earthy taste. Once they released brew-at-home, he was able to drink nearly as much as he wanted, though the cans are still very much convenient for long trips, periods of time without access to a coffee machine, or time crunches at work.
II. Ignis refrained from wearing all black when he was younger, and photographs taken over the years show a steady progression from the young adviser wearing white and grey, to black and grey, to simply black for a few years, and finally to black with accents of purple, his favorite color.
III. Purple is Ignis’ favorite color because, as the ‘official’ color of House Scientia, nearly every memory of his mother he still possesses contains her wearing the color.
IV. Most of Ignis’ skills are either self-taught or learned from observation; Ignis is a mnemonist, and can sit and read for hours, practically absorbing information, memorizing it to be regurgitated later so that, eventually, it will be put to practical use and become a usable skill. In example, before he first began cooking for Noctis, Ignis essentially hounded the royal kitchen staff for recipes, used the Internet, got his hands on anything useful, and compiled it all. Recipe lists for various dishes became indicators of what do and don’t go together, basic guidelines he would follow once he started making up his own recipes.
V. Ignis was hesitant to inject any of his personal taste into his Crownsguard fatigues at first, namely because for a long time he was unaware of what his own tastes even were. He was rushed to get his act together when Regis asked him to consider how he would like his fatigues to look, as the boys would be going to get them tailored soon — it was an offhand comment of Noctis’ that basically clued him in on what his style is: simple but refined, sharp, with a touch of elegance. The leopard-print shirt was an accident, but a happy one.
VI. Ignis tends to take more after his uncle, Augustus, than his father. His parents were indeed well-educated but were essentially socialites, his father having retired very early after an administrative stint in the military (and with no other direct connection to the royals of Lucis, as his uncle had taken up the position.) Most of what Ignis remembers of his father relates to the man’s collections of various objects, from personal family heirlooms to historical pieces from various countries the world over. Ignis had first come to learn of Lucis and its royalty, along with the fact that his uncle serves as the chamberlain of said royalty, when his father spun the tale of how he’d come to possess the portrait of a past Lucian king.
VII. Ignis’ father is, in fact, one of few Scientia men who did not enter the direct service of a Lucian king. Despite hailing from a completely different continent, it is considered a rite of passage for men of the household to travel to Lucis and, should they prove themselves worthy and take their education seriously, serve the royal family in some way — from retainers to advisers to chamberlains, the Caelum and Scientia lines have a long and close history. Ignis’ own, older, cousin had in fact been chosen to begin his training and become Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum’s adviser, but the young boy was lost in the very same raid that killed Ignis’ parents.
VIII. Ignis was, initially, very conscious of his accent. Few in Insomnia had heard him speak those first years after he’d moved to live there — Noctis had poked fun at it, even, the first instance he’d heard Ignis talk, and his own uncle’s accent was not nearly as prominent as his own. Once he did begin to speak, though, he found that his accent only seemed to bolster the air of credibility and intelligence he wished so deeply to convey, and it did not take long for him to harbor an almost unnatural confidence because of it, a mesmerizing poise he adopts when speaking.
IX. Ignis has a particular fondness for the piano, as his mother played the instrument for him before he was old enough to speak — and it is, perhaps, the least developed skill in his arsenal. One of few things that can evoke such strong feelings in regards to his late parents, Ignis can hardly ever muster himself to practice long enough to develop any considerable amount of skill. He plays other instruments with ease, however, namely the viola.
X. Ignis views his relationship with Regis as being a rather odd one, as the man is the seat of utter authority in the lives on Insomnians — but, having known him from such a young age, Ignis can’t help but view him as a father figure of sorts, one who he has wanted nothing more than to impress and make proud. He thinks it unlikely that Regis would reciprocate such views, and refrains from mentioning it to others therefore.
Best piece of characterization I got from EI: Ignis would fucking fight Noctis to make him eat his vegetables.
