defend the meek, punish the wicked @ishgardianjustice - Tumblr Blog

Dark Knight - if it posts twice, that’s fine too. :D for @lyraciilee whom tumblr is being a pain in tagging!

Based on a thread on Reddit, sans the modded skin (which was made to be pitch black to ensure that only his eyes would be seen under the helm) and guesswork on the hairstyle, this is how Fray looks like under the armor. I’ve made a few guesses myself before but none came close to this. I have to say that this isn’t the face you’d expect under that armor. He looks so young. As I’ve mentioned to someone, you’d expect this face on a mage, a healer, and not a warrior running on the powers of darkness.

That said, my headcanon is that he was a conjurer/priest prior to becoming a dark knight and -- well, I have some stuff about that to be posted later. :D ))

Thank you, reddit, for giving me the chance to know what Fray’s face actually looks like under that helmet. Stay tuned. ))

Send me “HC” + a word and I’ll write a headcanon about it.

“HC” + loss

from here

When it comes to people, Fray had lost his family (his mother died in childbirth, with the baby stillborn; his father was lost to sickness shortly after the Calamity) and whatever few friends he had prior turning into a dark knight. He feels loss keenly, but he copes by finding solace in ideals and causes. By throwing himself into a cause, he has a distraction from the pain and remains productive. In a way, Fray doesn’t face personal loss head-on, preferring to let time blunt its effects. He justifies this by saying that he has more important things to do than brood and grieve.

Given his dedication (and his tendency to let them consume his life), when he realizes their flaws and fails to reconcile them with reality, he is left embittered and, for a time, unable to act. When he lost his faith on the institution of the Holy See, Fray eventually finds meaning again by embracing the creed of the dark knight. While he says that the experience opened his eyes to the truth of Ishgardian society, the personal bent to his disdain for the Holy See indicates a deeper, lasting hurt.

“I will not yield. You cannot stop me!”

The end of the vigil should be in service of those who cannot defend themselves. Not --

-- not like this.

The darkness gathers, and for the first time in a long, long while, he lets go. And for the first time in a long, long while, the darkside does not contradict, does not rebel.

“You give me no choice. Very well -- expect no mercy.”

Perhaps after this, he still has enough left of himself for regrets.

The first thing she felt was the biting cold against her cheeks. It soon made her skin grow numb and burn in her chest as it filled her lungs. The sight before her was a striking picture. There was a litter of dead Archaeornis on the ground, all nearly ripped to shreds. She drove her greatsword into the snow, leaning against it as she placed a gloved hand against her face.

“Shit. It happened again…” The Dark Knight murmured, head beginning to throb. She could not recall why she had left Ishgard, or why of all places she had come out to the frozen wasteland of Coerthas Western Highlands.

This was not the first time she had lost herself.

The darkside stirs in the presence of blood, stark crimson in the barren whiteness of Coerthas.

He trudges through the snow, misted breath rising. Upon the first subtle signs, Fray decided to keep a closer eye upon her. When she disappeared from Ishgard, he knew he had to look. At the very least he is thankful that the cautious part of her prevailed, choosing to unleash her fury upon the beasts prowling the snowfields. A dark knight’s wrath is a demon left unchecked

And lo, a demon’s handiwork it is. The remnants of dead cloudkin paint a grisly picture. He looks at its weary artist and sees a woman losing her hold. Never a favorable sign. “Lucky that I elected to follow, isn’t it? I suppose the Convictors and the heretics are thankful of you for lessening the creatures after their flesh.” In a more serious tone, he adds, “What is the last thing you remember?”
