heeeeeyyyyyy there drift fleet, this is ezra, who is already here with that tiny skull-wearing oc named emblica (amarant), bringing in another character! this here is henry, the most cheerful war-loving dark mage you will ever meet, and he is from fire emblem: awakening (also known as chess with eugenics).
i'm bringing him pre-recruitment, and!!! probably more important, i do play from the japanese version, where his characterization is a lot less punny (and also more...consistent........), so if you're wondering where all the jokes about blood and gore have gone, uh.
a brief summary of changes, for those who are canon-familiar and are like "wait what is going on here" (warning for mentions of parental neglect and violence towards children, nothing surprising/unknown if you've played the game):
- his childhood is pretty much the same; neglected by parents, grew up with a wolf, accidentally killed a bunch of people, but instead of ~wizard school~ or mage camp, his parents stuck him in an institution kind of like an orphanage where children who misbehaved were basically tortured. this is where his insensitivity to pain comes from; he basically got so used to it that things don't really hurt as much.
- he's much less punny and...he definitely isn't so much "oh boy killing i love killing," but he is still more or less...bizarrely optimistic about things and lacking in a really defined moral code. not really enjoying killing, just that he legitimately does not have any issues regarding it. enemies are enemies, allies are just other people, innocent villagers are just...there, who cares, animals make pretty convenient sacrifices for curses.
- where the localization decides to make the point that he is actually cheerful and anyone who thinks that he's just avoiding actually dealing with issues by smiling and acting happy all the time is absolutely wrong, it...is actually the case. he is actually capable of feelings! like sad feelings if someone he actually connects with dies (or seems to be dead)!
- those are probably the biggest changes; the rest is primarily tonal changes. really, he's mostly just bizarrely innocent, in a way. he is basically a really dangerous puppy.
iiiii will intro him properly when i am not at work so for now please enjoy this video!
EDIT oh right shit here is his permissions post and here is my plurk if anyone wants to plot/chat/etc
