A very different Cid than what Cloud is used to. No less a gearhead though. Guy is pretty down to earth but at the same time seems to have a sense of humor. Easy to get along with.

Now here is a man that Cloud isn't really sure he knows what to make of. He has a really mean streak and some pretty strong opinions. At the same time? Emet-Selch seems like he genuinely just wants to take a nap. A very long nap. Sometimes he thinks that he can relate to the guy and other time it just blows his mind the things that come out of his mouth.

They've been around one another pretty much since day one. Nimona is a sweet person with a lot of emotions and thoughts, if you can get passed her need for violence and chaos. They're working on that. More than anything he wants to make sure that she knows what it is like to have a family, to know that there are people who will always be there for her no matter what. And she does call him dad.

Things with Tifa are a little more complicated that what he would like. She is from a different point in time than he is and... Some of their memories don't exactly match. That has created a small rift and neither of them know entirely how to breach it. They are trying. Tifa is Tifa, no matter what though and Cloud considers her to be one of his closest friends. At the moment he hasn't told her anything about what is going to happen and he won't. Not unless she asks.

Zack is probably the first real friend that Cloud has had in which he can truly be himself around. It goes without saying that Cloud owes him a lot. Wouldn't be the person that he is today without Zack. So he thinks very highly of him. Hopes that he can live up to those expectations and be worthy of the legacy that the guy had left him with. Right now he is grateful for the time that he gets to have with him in the game setting. It's a chance to have his friend back. Make more memories.

This is Aerith's third time in Escordvi.

Cloud still feels a lot of complicated things towards Aerith. He really still hasn't gotten the opportunity to sort them out. The guilt that he's had over her death has ebbed a lot over the years and he's interested in getting to know her as Cloud rather than someone who isn't really genuinely Cloud. Maybe if he can he can unpack the emotions that he has.

There's something about Vincent's presence that always is easy to be around. Cloud thinks of them as similar in personality and disposition. It's comfortable being around Vincent, likely because there's no need to fill the silence. Vincent is much like a stray cat - coming and going as he pleases. Yet you can always count on him to be there and be straight with you.

IC INFORMATION

Name: Freminet
Canon: Genshin Impact
Age: 17ish
Gender: M
Species: Human
Appearance: Here!
Canon point: 5.7 Update

History: Here
CRAU details: N/A

Personality answers:

1. What is your character most afraid of?

Freminet is afraid of being truly alone. Or rather, he is afraid of not having a family. He stated during his event quest that he understands what being alone is like and would want ¨miracles¨ to happen as he did not wish for anyone to be alone. When he was young, he was alone with his mother as his father abandoned his family. Due to this, he would do almost anything to make sure that she stayed safe. So much so, that he learned how to fix machines in order to see her smile.

This is also true as he is dependent on his Fatui family. For most of his life, everything he did was for their sake. He would do anything for them as he does not know what to do if he was without them. He was willing to kill people for the sake of protecting his family. After all, this was the only thing he knew as he was scared of what would happen should he be alone. Not only that, he has said that he finds people to be scary to talk to. His shy personality can make it somewhat challenging to befriend people at times.

2. Who in your character's canon influenced the most growth in your character? What do they think about this character?

That would be his siblings and “Father”. His siblings, Lyney and Lynette, are the two that he is closest with in his family. Freminet looked up to them greatly but ,at the same time, he believes that he is not good enough. Compared to them, he is shy and quiet who would work from the shadows. However, since his siblings are so outgoing and appear to be great at everything, he finds himself almost envying them as Freminet could never be that kind of person. Sadly, he never really spoke up to them about this (despite his siblings knowing it) and believes that it would be better to stay quiet. Even then, he loves them dearly to the point where he would do anything to protect them. So much so that he would fight against his own “Father” as Lyney stood his ground. This is also true when Freminet thought that he wasn’t a brother to them until Lyney mentioned that he was. From that interaction, he knew that he had to protect them no matter what.

Speaking of “Father”, he also greatly looked up to her too. Arlecchino is the “Father” of the Fatui family and it is clear that he would never go against her word. If it weren’t for her, his life would be different. Considering she always challenges him to think for himself and to not hold back. While their interactions in canon might have been short, she was the one who told him about the truth of his mother's death. For all his life, he thought that his mother abandoned him due to their debt. However, once she told him the truth, that is when he realized she is nothing like the former leader of the Fatui family. This made him trust her more.

3. What would your character say is their best trait? What is truly their best trait?

For Freminet, he wouldn’t know what to say since he does not think highly of himself or say he is good at following orders. He stated he was simply a diver from Fontaine despite how challenging it could be. He often doubts himself. He is shy, awkward, and isn’t good with people. Due to this, he thinks of himself as someone who is much better at following orders. He did say that it was easier to do that than not knowing what to do. Not only that, he is used to doing missions based on what Father wants and for the sake of his family. To the point where he would murder someone if he had to.

However, I would say how kind he is. During his story quest, which talked about “loneliness syndrome” Freminet went out of his way to make sure the person he was helping would be happy. After all, he knew what it was like due to his own upbringing and tried to find a way to comfort them in the best way possible. Since the person had a child who died, Freminet made them a penguin based on fairy tales to ensure they come to terms with their child’s death as gently as possible. He also went out of his way to make some mechanical penguins for the sake of cheering some children.

4. What would it take to truly upset your character, enough that they would act upon their feelings? Are they the sort to forgive?

Freminet is usually someone who rarely gets mad due to his kind nature. During the entire Fontaine quest, he was never seen to be upset and was embarrassed he was late in getting items on time. Even during a fight with his Father, he apologized for attacking her. He also apologized for making Lyney and Lynette upset when he got himself into trouble as he almost died. That said, the thing that would probably upset him the most is to threaten his family. Almost everything he does is for his family and he loves them dearly. He would do anything for them and should someone threaten to destroy them, he probably would get upset. It would be rare for him to act upon it due to his quiet attitude. He would think about the situation before acting on it as he would much rather find a calmer solution to a problem instead of going straight to violence. If anything, it would be his siblings or his Father to act on his behalf rather than himself.

However, Freminet is someone who would forgive but it depends on the situation. For instance, the former leader of the Fatui family, Crucabena, has done some terrible things to him. It was enough where she told Freminet to stop crying as she used him to fight against his siblings. Despite his short time with her, it still left a lasting impression on him where he has confidence issues. While he never said anything, it might be safe to say he does not forgive her but would much rather not think about it. However, he was quick to forgive Wriothesley for setting him up. Since he never met any real harm to Freminet as he simply wanted to get an invitation to talk with Father, Freminet didn’t think much of it.

Inventory:
-Clothes on his back
-Some Mora
-His Cyro Vision
-His Claymore
-Pers, his mechanical penguin

Powers/Abilities:

-Diving: He is an excellent diver and is well known for it. He would often go into the seas for missions and just for his own amusement should he feel like it. Due to his diving skills, he can hold his breath for long periods of time. With his Vision, he doesn't need his helmet to dive underwater.
-Repairman: He can fix just about anything regarding machines. Clockwork penguins, electrical grids, washing machines. You name it. Just ask Lynette.
-Fatui Training: He is a lot stronger than the average 17 year old. He can deal with spying, gathering information, etc. He can withstand various harsh conditions and can kill if he has to.
-Cryo Abilities: He has the ability to do various ice damage. With Pers by his side, he can do damage based on Pers timer. Depending on Pers Timer, he does heavy ice damage around his enemies and unleash various frost. He can use Flowing Eddies, Pressurized Floe, and Shadowhunter's Ambush.

Samples: Here & Here

Player Goals: Given his job requires to do some ¨clean up duty¨ and being a part of the Fatui, I want to explore the concept of him thinking that he is a monster. He knows what he is doing back home is not the right thing to do but he does it for the sake of his family. I want to explore how he will cope with these feelings and how he would feel without his family around He is heavily dependent on them and without them in this setting, he would learn how to be more confident on his own.

IC INFORMATION

Name: Sylvain Gautier
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Age: 25
Gender: male
Species: human
Appearance: armored casual. Sylvain has a thick muscular build from a lifetime spent honing himself for both seduction and war. Stands about 6'1 and has vibrant red hair, a staple of his bloodline that makes him stand out. His eyes are brown/amber and he has a smattering of freckles across the bridge of his nose and cheeks.
Scars:
    ▶ Stab wound in his side where he took a spear in defense of a friend.
    ▶ Jagged line down over his ribs from a blade.
    ▶ Rake of a wyvern's claw down the back of his left shoulder.
    ▶ Several other smaller various scars scattered all over his body, as well as several small arrow punctures.
Canon point: Sylvain will be coming in from Verdant Wind (the Golden Deer route) somewhere around Chapter 17, just before the Battle of Gronder.

History: Sylvain's Wiki

Personality answers:
1. Who in your character's canon influenced the most growth in your character? What do they think about this character?
    It feels like cheating to say "Byleth" here but it's true. Byleth is the pivotal point for many of the storylines and character arcs, and in the route I'm bringing him from especially. He switched Houses for her, joining the Golden Deer instead of remaining with his childhood friends from the Blue Lions. Although his feelings for her at the beginning are... complicated, to say the least. In one of his earliest conversations with her, he expresses anger and resentment because she somehow managed to grow up her whole life without being crushed under the expectations that come with having a Crest. "You know what? I'm a bit jealous. The whole time you were growing up, you never knew you had a Crest. You were free. Nobody pretended to like you. I kind of hate you for that." He even goes so far as to threaten her over it, but then laughs the line off as a joke - as he does with so many of the things he says and really means, but doesn't really match up to the lighthearted persona he so frequently wears.

    But as he gets to know her, and what's more, she actually sees past his bullshit to the him he always tries to hide, he starts realizing that his method of keeping everyone at arms length for his own safety isn't actually keeping him all that safe, or making him happy. He's miserable, because of his own choices, and because he thought he had no other options. But Byleth's arrival opens possibilities he hadn't known existed and, allied as she is with Claude and his own radical ideas and plans for Fodlan, he might have a future to look forward to that isn't completely ruled and defined by a broken system he hates.
4. What does your character think about physical appearances? Are they the sort to meticulously primp themselves, or could they not care less?
    Sylvain learned from a very young age that his looks, his body, was a weapon to be honed and wielded, just like his lance. Although he knew his real draw was his Crest and his position as the heir of Gautier, his looks and charms were an extra line of defense to protect himself from all the hungry and ambitious people who vied for him for their own reasons. Wanting to possess him, or use him to lift themselves to a better position in life. Seeing himself as basically a stud whose entire existence was there to continue the Gautier's precious bloodline, it gives him a very jaded and cynical outlook on people and their motivations for wanting to be close to him. And considering he most often wears the mask of a shallow, flirtatious playboy, his looks become just one more tool in his toolbox. He's perfected the art of that casual roguish charm, always ready with an easy smile and a playful wink, or just mussed enough that he might have just tumbled out of someone's bed (which he possibly had).
8. What would it take to truly upset your character, enough that they would act upon their feelings? Are they the sort to forgive?
    Sylvain will actually suffer through a lot of misfortune, malice, and vicious gossip aimed at him without flinching much. He laughs most of it off and just rolls with it, even when his friends occasionally get mad on his behalf. Or get mad at him, for landing himself in some stupid mess in the first place. He never admits it, but I play him as someone who thinks he must deserve some of it at least. He carries a lot of guilt and terrible self esteem, and while he knows he's a terrible person to the people who pursue him, his motive has always been "use them before they can use me" and he doesn't seen any other way out of his unwanted fate.

    What will make him upset is anything negative or cruel aimed at one of his friends, or someone he believes is innocent. He has a deep sense of loyalty and justice (about everyone else except himself) and he will not hesitate in leaping to their defense. One of the best examples of this is his friendship with Dedue, whose people, the Duscar, are hated and blamed for the slaughter of Faerghus' former king. Sylvain doesn't see how that's possible however, and is one of the only few shown to question the accepted story and the racism that comes with it. He refuses to let people talk badly about Dedue or his people and gets upset when he hears anything of the sort. He's a staunch defender of the other man and his unwavering loyalty to their prince, Dimitri.
10. What would be your character's lowest, darkest moment they've lived through? How did they respond to their troubles and face their demons?
    Picking just one for him is pretty hard, actually. But most of them revolve around his family - especially his father, who's strict expectations he can never seem to live up to, and his older half-brother, who hates him for the sheer fact that he was born with a Crest, thereby disinheriting him without even trying. Sylvain was five the first time Miklan tried to kill him, and there were countless attempts throughout Sylvain's childhood. It's glossed over a lot, but there are a few hints as to how bad it got, although Sylvain laughs it off, as he does so many of the things that cause deep pain for him. The rumors that he was a "clumsy child" seem pretty at odds with the young man we come to know later on.

    So there's little love lost between Sylvain and his brother (and the complications of the fact that their father didn't put a stop to it for years) but despite that he didn't hold a grudge. In fact, he confesses, "Even as a little kid, I understood why he was like that. My mere existence stole everything from him." But when Miklan's hatred finally has him stealing the Gautier relic, the Lance of Ruin, and raiding innocent villages at the head of a band of bandits, Sylvain knows he can't just avoid the confrontation. The battle is terrible and what's worse, when Miklan tries to wield the Relic weapon without the protection of a Crest, it transforms him into a hideous demonic beast, his humanity destroyed in an instant and leaving only a monster behind. Sylvain is forced to slay his brother, ending the lifelong rivalry he never wanted, with no chance to find another outcome. He knows he did the right thing, the only path left to him, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel guilt over it, and over the fact that part of him might be a little relieved his brother is finally gone for good.

Inventory: 1) his armor/clothes (shown in appearance images), 2) his lance (the Lance of Ruin), 3) a tea set with a tin of bergamot tea, 4) a small carved horse figurine

Powers/Abilities:
Combat:
    Sylvain has been training to be a knight and a warrior all his life and has a range of experience in various weapons, hand-to-hand, and battle strategy and tactics, as well as a surprising understanding of magic. He excels at combat in teams or acting as support with fellow soldiers and is versatile and quick to adapt to unexpected circumstances.

    He's coming in classed as a Paladin, which is the FE tactical way of saying he's trained in moving swiftly over longer distances, isn't slowed down by difficult terrain, has extensive practice with lance (mastery level), sword, and riding, and is adept at evading both ranged attacks (from archers, etc) and magical/spell attacks. He's had training over the years in multiple classes/styles of fighting to give him a wide range of battle experience and knowledge.
Magic:
    Sylvain's experience and understanding of magic is rudimentary, at best, but he does have some low level training in both Faith (healing/white magic) and Reason (black/offensive magic).
    ▷ Faith Skills (Rank C)
      Heal. basic Faith spell that heals an adjacent ally
      Nosferatu. Faith spell that restores health equal to 50% of the damage the spell does to a foe.
      Physic. Faith spell that can restore health to a distant ally.
    ▷ Reason Skills (Rank C)
      Fire. basic black magic used to attack with flames; launches a fireball at a target and does light damage
      Bolganone. superior black magic used to attack with flames. When cast, this spell will forcefully open up a fissure into the surface of the earth, and trigger an eruption to occur, burning the selected enemy target.
Crest:
    Sylvain possesses a minor Crest of Gautier he inherited from his bloodline. Gautier was one of the original Ten Elites who first possessed a Crest in the war between Seiros and Nemesis and possessing a Crest is a requirement to inherit the title and seat of Margrave, due to the House's constant defense against the incursion of the northern warlike clans of Sreng, as a Crest is required to safely wield their ancient relic, the Lance of Ruin.

    Sylvain's Crest also has the added effect of being able to increase his might/strength in a fight and the damage he creates when using certain attacks, although this isn't something he can control and seems to happen at random.
Samples: Here & here
Player Goals: Sylvain comes from a game where there's a lot of possibility in the characters but it's sometimes not explored or executed very well. His story is one that hit me very strongly in wanting to explore his mindset and motivations, because he's very much a character trapped by his position in life. It's been a delight to take him out of the mire that is his situation and letting him explore and learn who he really is, without being wholly defined by his name, his Crest, and people's perceptions of him. This game in particular drew my attention with the transformation aspect, the different effects that brought along with it, and the possibility of the imprinted bonds with other characters, since he shares so little of himself in his canon.
Soul Choice: I'd like to make him a Carnivora, I think I'd like to lean into the fox/kitsune theme for him!
