CURRENT CHARACTERS: Courier Six.
CHARACTER
NAME: Haurchefant Greystone
CANON: Final Fantasy XIV
CANON POINT: Post-death.*
* In the canon, there is an implication of his spirit aiding beyond death in a scene during 3.3, saving another ally from being possessed by a terrible strong wyrm, and also when the protaganist and their party end up travelling the land where souls rest before being reincarnated, near the end of 6.0. For these scenes, Haurchefant has a vague feeling about the first one, yet the second is more his memories being used to summon a shield to protect others.
BACKGROUND: fandom wiki.
SUITABILITY: Haurchefant Greystone of House Fortemps is a man with many layers, many of those a reaction to his upbringing and setting. Being a bastard son of his noble house, he would have been expected to be quiet and out of the way - and yet, he is brash and enthusiastic. Unlike his countrymen, he is quite open to outsiders, and a beacon of light in a dark and pained city-state. Things were beginning to change, though, as the truth of his nations' past was coming to light. There was no time for Haurchefant to truly internalize this, however, because the Lord Commander - Aymeric - was captured! And they had to save him!
Haurchefant then gave his life to protect the Warrior of Light. He had no more time to process his own feelings, his grief and horror at the endless war caused by the Archbishops' lies, before his life was spent. He believed he would move on to serve in his Goddess' hallowed halls - if a bastard was even allowed there.
And yet, he wakes. And yet, he is now in a world which cares not for his past, nor the many he's killed in order to protect those he loves. What, then, is Haurchefant Greystone without being a Fortemps, and his grand sacrifice leaving him alive in the end? As for why a world of Pokemon, and this one in paticular, will be fascinating - well, for one, he will be having to learn who he is alongside a new form, with new abilities. He will also need to learn that dragons, in paticular, aren't the same. Even if he knows the War was a lie, he is still a knight. I also feel that a world that is kinder to Haurchefant will help him finally fully let go of some of his hangups. Also, I feel that having a character who is so loving to other Pokemon and the world will make for fun opportunities, both for CR and for the development of the world.
QUESTIONNAIRE:
a knight cannot ignore this. use short story as reference?
discussion about politics, and his role in them, and then a pivot to zeph and haurche seeing how he acts to others. he did not know zeph was enthralled, but still has bitterness inside. and yet, he loves so deeply.
concerning, and while he knows how to play the political game, he is Tired Of It. he will likely refuse, and damn the guild if they decide he cannot play by their rules. he was already basically away from his family, as a bastard. plus, he knows he has no home to return to - he's dead.
calamity discussion and those hard choices. he will offer to go with the team seeking food, hoping that they can do it fast enough so nobody has to die, knowing their deaths are in his hands either way.
POKEMON: galarian ponyta, for his family crest and dragonslayer with time. plus. uh. that One Event.
GUILD OPT-OUT: lum but lbr he doesnt suit them

QUESTIONNAIRE:
⟡ Your character is on an exploration quest when they find an injured Pokemon in need of help. This Pokemon appears to be in distress and is quite dangerous, posing a risk to your character even if they mean well, and putting your quest mission at risk. What do they do? What are some possibilities of how they work with teammates to address this, or do they go at it alone?
a knight cannot ignore this. use short story as reference?
⟡ Your character's worst enemy has recently appeared in game, and has joined the guild your character is part of. They both want to tackle the same quest, and your character's enemy suggests that they work together as a team to accomplish this goal. How does your character respond to this?
discussion about politics, and his role in them, and then a pivot to zeph and haurche seeing how he acts to others. he did not know zeph was enthralled, but still has bitterness inside. and yet, he loves so deeply.
⟡ The leader of your character's guild has just approached your character with an offer: they will provide your character with extra supplies, reputation points, and help them with any of their current struggles. In exchange, they ask for your character to do a favor for them that may harm the other guilds, and will not specify what the favor is in advance. It sounds shady, but it's the deal of a lifetime in your character's path to get back home, and refusing it may cause strife for your character within their current guild. What do they think of this offer? What do they ultimately decide to do?
concerning, and while he knows how to play the political game, he is Tired Of It. he will likely refuse, and damn the guild if they decide he cannot play by their rules. he was already basically away from his family, as a bastard. plus, he knows he has no home to return to - he's dead.
⟡ Due to shortages on supplies, the city is facing issues deciding where to cut corners during this rough time. Somehow, the responsibility has fallen on your character's shoulders, and they have to make a decision. If they send out an extra team of Pokemon, they will be able to gather more food, and through that, save the lives of dozens of starving Pokemon that were in dire need of nutrition. However, the only Pokemon available to scout for food are those working at the pokeclinic, and sending them out would mean certain death for at least two ill patients. What does your character decide to do? How do they feel about this choice, and how would they deal with the pushback that comes from either side?
