hello! iuchar’s tentatively back [: he never truly left my brain smh and with it i know it’s been quite some time and some new faces have come in, so i have a decent amount to cover even if this isn’t his first rodeo. first, the general muse introduction for those who do not know of him yet:
the second son of house dozel, a prestigious family that serves as a vassal family to the emperor of grannvale. house dozel rules over its own duchy but in recent years has also been given the authority to rule over the nation of isaach as a consequence of isaach losing in the war iuchar’s grandfather had taken part in.
iuchar’s father is a tyrant, subjugating the people of isaach, but iuchar himself alongside his younger brother iucharba are sympathetic to the isaachian people’s plights. they are noticeably also the most successful in finding ways to disobey imperial orders to conduct child hunts, both brothers trying their best to fight against the very oppression their own father and suzerain keep trying to push. despite this agreement in moral priorities, the two brothers are not on very good terms, leading to them fighting one another to the death.
in toa verse, iuchar was the one to die but his life was saved in secret by lord seliph, his game’s protagonist. out of respect to the victory of his brother and knowing his brother’s hatred of him would never allow him to coexist with him, iuchar sailed to fódlan as a casualty of war, seeking asylum.
despite having a heart of gold, iuchar has a horrible personality. he is infamously callous to men he hates and overly sweet to most women. he is an incorrigible skirtchaser, a people pusher, and his poetic speech tends to sound vacuous and overly sappy.
in my interpretation, this is all a mask for his true self: someone very introspective and who wants to do good, but he is stubborn and prideful, believing only his perspective is correct. he is cautious and believes the world is a big game of deceit and that you have to play by those rules in order to get anything done, putting him at odds with his younger brother’s brash and straightforward personality, one he considers naïve and foolish— one unable to save anyone because it shall lead to death before it can even be remotely helpful.
tldr; he’s a fuckboy with a heart of gold who likes flowers and speaks in a poetic/antiquated way. his arrogance and inability to show his true self, a much more melancholic character, got him killed by his brother in a duel to the death over differences in methodology and also because they simp for the same girl oop
as for those who already know him, specifically how he’s been in toa, let’s get down to business:
all of the events on this blog are still canon to iuchar. i’m not wiping any of it or going on a clean slate. his relationships with characters will be continued unless a particular mun doesn’t wish to keep that.
because of this, iuchar retains his memories from the lore event unlocked and thus is aware of a decent amount of what happens in fe4 albeit in an alternate timeline where he was the one recruited. this shouldn’t come up too much i don’t think but figured it was worth mentioning.
i’m open to resuming threads from before i dropped iuchar if anyone wishes to, though i’ll also be looking for new threads as well!
in toa canon, iuchar has spent the last six months being entirely in the abyss. the only people who have seen him in this past half-year are fellow abyssians and ashen wolves consequently.
however, i’m willing to have muses who have interacted with iuchar prior potentially get to know/find out a bit of what he’s been doing in the interim. this will be through letters penned by him, and i’ll be reblogging a meme relevant to that in case anyone’s interested. the meme is also open to others, though those responses might be set in AUs instead.
aaaand that should be it! that’s a lot, i know. welcome back mister red flag !!!!
