Character Name: Rebecca “Newt” Jorden Series: Alien Timeline: End of Aliens, just entering hypersleep Canon Resource Links: Aliens:The Movie Newt: The Character
Personality:
Despite only being seven years old, Newt is all about survival and her first rule of survival is to hide and get low. When offered a place to sleep, she sleeps under the bed because it's safer there. When put in chair with a security harness, she gets out of it, to get low in a corner, even though it's a moving vehicle. She's small and she knows she can get to places where others can't reach her, so she uses that to her advantage. She's smart and she's quick. You have to be a quick thinker when your movements are the difference between life and death. It was her idea to break the glass window when she and Ripley were trapped in the medical bay with facehuggers on the loose. She also has a good memory and moves around the ventilation shafts of the colony without getting lost. She even shows the marines a way to get out when they're trapped and surrounded by aliens and gives directions while inside the air vents.
Newt is an incredibly brave child. Not only did she witness the brutal death of her father but also her mother and brother and countless others as well. Despite this she kept going. She stayed one step ahead of the alien monsters and managed to survive all by herself. Building herself a little nest that she lived in, safe away from the monsters that couldn’t reach her in the small spaces. She still had to go out and get food and supplies, which would then bring her back into harms way but she always managed to survive those trips as well. She would also bring in random jewelry and some trinkets from her past life, like her school award plaque. Neither of these serve a purpose but the last one is most likely a treasured memory while the first items are just shiny things that she collects because they look nice.
Newt has had to slowly regain her faith in people being able to survive, after seeing her entire colony being murdered around her. For example, she tries to run away from the marines at first and is caught by Ripley. Ripley is also the one who brings her out of her shell, as at first she won’t even talk to the marine demanding answers from her and then she’ll only talk in whispers to Ripley. She’s also not willing to talk about her past at first. Snapping angrily that her family is dead and she wants to just get away from the marines and go back into hiding. She didn’t believe that the marines will be able to keep themselves safe, let alone her. She believed that she was safer on her own.
However it is Ripley out of all the people there that she grows to trust and open up to the most. In fact when rescued, she says she knew Ripley would come and get her, because the woman promised not to leave her. This is even after her own mother made the same promise and was killed despite it. So Ripley is the most important person to Newt, she's the one who reached out to her and gets her to open up. She talked to her about her own daughters death and treated Newt like a person and not just a witness to get information out of. By the end of the movie Newt even calls her mommy. She has the utmost trust in Ripley and firmly believes in her being able to save her.
As for other people, Newt likes people who take her seriously and don't just write her off as a kid. She likes being helpful and helps the marines with small tasks like moving things around the base they set up. She's slow to open up and trust in situations where she thinks the people are just going to be killed off because she has past experience with watching everyone she knows die. She starts to like the remaining marines though, and even learns their names and calls on one for help when she and Ripley are in trouble with a facehugger. The final two other survivors, Hicks and Bishop are very important to her by the end of the movie. They survived, even if hurt. Bishop even saved her life, despite being torn in half (he’s an android) by the alien queen.
Despite all everything that she's seen and been through, Newt still acts like a kid at times. She keeps a close hold of her dolls head when she's bored or scared and she'll talk to her doll as well. Especially when she's afraid, telling it that everything will be fine. And she does get scared when things go wrong, just like any child would. When she's captured by an alien, she screams because she’s terrified and knows what those things do. But when the mood lightens she giggles and flicks Ripley on the nose because she can. She doesn't like or take patronizing talk even when it's meant well. For example she tells Ripley that the reason Casey (her doll) has no bad dreams is because she's made of plastic and that’s all.
She's a tough kid that's been through hell and has a lot of mental scars from it. She has nightmares /"bad dreams" and is afraid to go to sleep at night, she even asks Ripley to stay with her because of her dreams. She's not nearly as feral as she was when she first found. She speaks to people and is more willing to open up and trust people, even after Burke betrayed them and tried to feed them to facehuggers. She hasn’t really had time to process the death of her family properly however, as she’s never had the chance to do anything but simply survive till now.
[There's a little girl looking at the screen. She's not sure what's going on so she's settled for looking serious. No she's not scared at all, you're imaging things.]
I'm looking for a spaceship. We must have crashed and I think some lady took me off it when I was asleep. Only she wouldn't tell me where she took my friends and then kicked me out of her house. So they might still be on the ship. Only, two of them are hurt really bad so I need to find them before anyone tries to take them out of their pods without Ripley there.
[There's a small pause]
Also my name's Newt, and it's not my birthday. I think there's something wrong with that lady and the weird machine she gave me. It says I'm ten, but I'm not....not yet.

Character Name: Eridan Ampora Series: Homestuck Timeline: From the aftermath of 3x SHOWDOWN COMBO. Canon Resource Links:wwiki link
Personality: To put Eridan simply, he’s a raging selfish, hipster, wanna-be wizard, douchebag, prince with a genocide complex. But to go a little more in depth, he’s basically still that just with a little more foundation as to why. Being part of the troll race, which is highly violent and destructive, it’s natural for him to be a bit of an asshole. That of course, goes hand in hand with his blood, being the second richest hue in the hemospectrum(The system in which trolls use as a caste depending on blood color) making him royalty and he grew up as such; which by the way, he’ll remind you of repeatedly, because that’s what he is, royalty, don’t you forget it. But with being such, he’s also better than you, seeing as not only is he a troll AND royalty, but he’s also a sea dweller (which is a subspecies of troll that mutated, allowing them to live underwater). Basically, chances are, he’s better than you in some capacity if not all, and he’ll tell you as such, because he can’t let you forget the facts, you know the ones about him being better than you? Because that’s what he is. Better than you.
At first glance, he seems to be nothing more than a dramatic douchebag, which really basically IS what he is, seeing as through his love for Alternian history, wars, and the stories that follow such a genre, he’s crafted himself a dramatic and theatrical persona that follows suit to the epic stories of conquest and heart wrenching defeat and horrible betrayal and sweeping romance. With those tales, he’s molded himself a prideful, overly dramatic, and obnoxious identity. That coupled with his already ‘Holier than thou’ attitude makes for quite the charmer. Along with these most charming personality traits comes his interests, which having already covered his love for the glorious military history of Alternia and their captivating tales, comes his genocide complex, which one could easily imagine the idea spawned from these tales of glory and defeat, along with him being a vicious sea dweller. Trolls are violent as is, but as one climbs the rainbow ladder that makes up the hemospectrum, the higher you get, the more violent the troll. Eridan definitely reigns true on this fact, seeing as he’s sworn it as his destiny to kill all land dwellers! With such plans, he amassed a great deal of doomsday devices and weapons with the help of his then kismesis(Basically hategirlfriend), Vriska Serket.
Of course, he amassed these by his FLARPing sessions with her. FLARP being Fatal Live Action Role-Play. This is a pretty common thing for Troll kids to take part in, but it often ends in death and revenge cycles. Eridan, miraculously, avoided both in his time, perhaps because he killed anyone before they could start a revenge cycle or kill him, and also because he was more so in a partnership/rivalry with Vriska so it never quite got to that point between them at least. However, he was a very seasoned FLARPer and as notorious as Vriska, they defintiely swept the seas and divided the spoils among each other for a good while! Eridan killing lusii to keep Feferi’s own fed, while Vriska took the trolls for her own lusus. All the while Vriska giving him these dooms day devices to help him in his plot to KILL ALL LANDDWELLERS. Which always failed.
While Eridan may dramatically boast about his intent on killing all land dwellers, it’s made obvious by his then moirail(another quadrant in troll romance) Feferi, that she didn’t think he actually had the intent to kill them, seeing as he made friends with a few of them. This may be true, which evidence does point more towards her speculation being as such since at any moment he could have killed them all with minimal effort, since he kept her lusus fed in order to keep its voice down. Had her lusus even began to whisper, trolls would have started dropping dead like flies. But one could presume that maybe he was trying to preserve what he had with Feferi as well, since she definitely wasn’t for his plans. A point he’s actually pretty sore about.
Which ever it is, it’s pretty apparent that Eridan is rather dubious with how he holds himself, which of course makes him come off as a raging douche, which he is, surely I failed to mention that before. He often times judges people by their worth to him, trying to use them to whatever extent he can to achieve his goals and hardly valuing them as a person--he mainly does this, though, with those lower on the hemospectrum. He also holds very entitled views for things he does, and when he doesn’t get what he thinks he deserves, he bitches and moans and complains--mainly to Karkat. Much like he had done in the veil when Nepeta had rejected him after he saved her life by getting her into the game. Karkat, of course, calls him out on his shit after he refers to her as “the kitty cat shipper cave girl” instead of by name, which one could assume he might not even REMEMBER her name at all because of her lowblood status. Which, Eridan very maturely changes the subject instead of owning up to being the insensitive douche he is.
He also hardly cares if he’s not being as gentle as he should be, because fuck your feelings they don’t mean shit compared to his. Which is probably why his flushed feelings for his moirail went very unrequited, since he never once really thought about her feelings in their relationship, or really considered her feelings for much of anything other than not using her lusus to kill all land dwellers. He had wanted something more red with her, but ended up playing his cards wrong and getting into the pale quadrant with her. Which, instead of trying to define his feelings to her in a less dubious fashion, he continued their romance and hardly acted the part of a moirail should, which leaves no question as to why their relationship ended how it did. This of course, devastated Eridan and the dramatics went everywhere, because woe is he, how could she leave him?!
This is another important point about Eridan though, as much as he whines and complains and throws around dramatics like a monkey does its own shit, there is a distinct difference between him dramatically whining and him being legitimately sad. He doesn’t so much like to show off his actual, genuine emotions, in fact a good deal of them need to be dragged out of him, where as he’s ready and willing to throw around his fake tears and wibble lips and scarf chewing and running off in a dramatic fashion and making a huge tool out of himself to everyone around him. Which, most people just get tired of, especially when he does this display when someone rejects him. Oh did I not mention how he throws himself at someone if they show the vaguest sense of interest at him? Yeah he does that too.
He wasn’t always such a desperate tool, really only getting to that apex of his personality through losing nearly EVERYTHING. As the twelve of them entered the game, one could argue that this hipstery fool lost more than anyone. For most, they escaped the tyranny of their own homeworld, where as Eridan lost all footing his homeworld gave him. Not to mention, he lost two quadrants almost simultaneously! That’s a HUGE shot to anyone’s ego, and Eridan didn’t take it well. But, then again, what 13 year old child would? And things only got worse for him in the game. He basically exiled himself to his own planet, where he killed angels, and felt utterly victimized by everyone’s “negligence” towards him, and then when they went to claim their victory BAM, they get stuck on a meteor waiting to die. However, while everyone else was busy worrying about important things, Eridan’s flirting with humans, so he really doesn’t help himself at all. He's the master of self sabotage.
Eridan is definitely something of an acquired taste he requires someone to acquire some taste, it takes a certain kind of person to deal with him on a day to day basis, especially when he really brings a lot of his own woes onto himself with his ridiculous attitude and bullheadedness and then tries to play the victim when he fucks up. He’s very dramatic in every way possible, even when showing general gratitude he throws in his own flare of dramatics. An example of which is when Kanaya made him his science stick, he definitely pulled out his wibble lip in thanking her there. Which by the way, this SCIENCE stick is powered by science, not magic, cuz magic is fake and science isn’t ok? Good.
Who cares if he is really into magic, despite him recognizing it’s fiction, this thing is powered by science and nothing else! (Except, chances are, it IS magic.) His fascination with what he so eagerly writes off as fiction is painfully apparent, with how it lead him to hassle Rose later on in the veil. Accusing her of such fraudulent acts, while in the same conversation he tries to solicit her for a black relationship and even demanding she shares with him her secrets of witchcraft--this of course ended in bitter rejection and Eridan losing his computer on account of her using her fakey fake fictional magic to explode it in his face. So in short, Eridan is a bit of a hypocrite. Okay, he’s a huge hypocrite, but fuck that noise because if it benefits him it hardly matters a damn bit, right? Right.
He relentlessly antagonizes people in hopes of getting a kismesis and then tries to swoon people into a matespritship, it hardly works--in fact doesn’t at all, but he’s trying. Trying to get people to like/hate him and trying to do what HE thinks is right, but he goes about it in all the wrong ways, that it pushes everyone away and makes himself miserable. He’s excessively difficult about near everything, and extremely stubborn, he had spent a great deal of the game killing angels on his own planet, despite Karkat trying to convince him to stop. Eridan was so set on being right about this, that he stayed there the whole time (Till he left to try and duel Sollux), but later bitches that no one would visit him on his planet, despite how he made the place a war zone. He is such the victim in this, as you can see.
Eventually, through an instance of his stubbornness and thinking he’s right about a solution to their horrible situation in the veil (Of course not without some egging on by a certain double-horned, bipolar, mustard-blooded troll) he demonstrates how thoughtless and vicious he can be by throwing a tantrum and with it he KINDA guarantees their species’ extinction via destroying the one thing they need to reproduce. Of course not before killing the girl he loved and one he regarded as a friend right after blinding the troll who stole "his" girl from him, and then absconding to go and duel some more. This all because he thought he knew how to save Feferi and himself, what with them being trapped on a meteor with the other 10 trolls waiting for death, but his plan was pretty stupid and not so well thought out, so of course it ended disastrously.
As much as Eridan isn’t completely heartless, he’s too wrapped in his own emotions and ideals to really think and consider other people as much as he should, or really even think about his actions before he does them. He’s an extremely impulsive and entitled jerk, who IS trying, but just doing it entirely wrong. He’s definitely misguided with his ideals and with troll society being what it was, but it hardly excuses him being the vicious dickbag he is.

Character Name: Panty Anarchy Series: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt Timeline: Ep. 11, pre-shitstorm with the Demon Sisters/Brief/etc Canon Resource Links:Wiki
Personality: Firstly, Panty's a real-life Angel.
Now that that's out of the way... she's a really fucking awful angel. Like "booted out of heaven for misbehaving" sort of awful. When people think of an "Angel", usually it's some mix of pious, saintly, messenger-of-God, give the shirt off their own back to clothe the poor kind of stuff with a halo and wings stapled on. PANTY IS NONE OF THOSE THINGS.
She's loud, arrogant, crude, a shameless nymphomaniac, and has pretty much zero moral compass to speak of. Garterbelt serves as both the Anarchy sisters' boss and handler, making sure they're pointed in the right direction and cleaning up after them; both Panty and Stocking have a tendency to leave a trail of destruction in their wake during their ghost hunts, and care very little about the lives they're endangering in the process. In one episode, the Demon sisters take Brief hostage and threaten to kill him if the angels don't surrender, to which they respond with a resounding "we literally don't give a shit, go right ahead". Scanty and Kneesocks are appropriately horrified.
You know it's bad when literal Demons are telling you you're doing your angelic duties wrong.
In terms of relationship dynamics, Panty is The Brawn™ of the two sisters. What she lacks in finesse she more than makes up for in firepower and charisma - charging in with guns blazing (quite literally) to soften up the competition so Stocking can mop up stragglers is the usual strategy, and without her sister's support and smarts to temper her wild streak, Panty frequently finds herself ass-deep in trouble of her own making. Alone, they're pretty damn strong. Together, they're practically untouchable.
Panty's strength, ironically, is a double-edged sword. Her "I don't give a shit" attitude pairs well with her preference of busting into dangerous situations head-on; enemy ghosts are commonly frustrated or stymied by having their trickery or traps entirely ignored, forcing them to face the Anarchy sisters in a contest of sheer power. Seeing as their only serious competition is a pair of equally powerful Demons... yeah. The ghosts always lose.
On the other hand......... she's kinda dense. Really dense. Stocking often has to dumb down explanations for Panty to understand the finer points of a situation or to get exactly what insults either Scanty or Kneesocks are throwing at them, and she lacks a significant amount of foresight and/or common sense. Perfect example: they have a runaway ghost at their mercy, and Panty stops Stocking from killing it right away since it has a piece of her clothing (shit's expensive, obviously she doesn't want her sword swinging maniac of a sister to accidentally slice and dice a pair of perfectly good underwear)....... and it gets away. And turns into an even bigger iteration, which causes yet more havoc. Good job.
...did I mention she turns underwear into guns and then shoots stuff with them? Yeah. That's a thing.
TL;DR: The World's Worst Angel, thirsty basic ho, total asshole with a bombshell body and a bad attitude. Also has a peculiar fondness for fatally spicy foods (She'd eat Carolina Reaper peppers like popcorn tbh) but that's really just useless trivia.

Harry Mason | Silent Hill | Reserved | Reapp from Route
Player Name: Katie E-mail: themadmaiden@gmail.com Preferred Contact:themadmaiden Timezone: AST Current Characters in Victory Road: Newt (Aliens)
Character Name: Harry Mason Series: Silent Hill Timeline: Right after his death in Silent Hill 3 and three years at route_29 Canon Resource Links: Silent Hill 1 Silent Hill 3 Harry Mason
Personality:
Harry Mason is a devoted father and he will do anything for his daughter. In the first Silent Hill game, he took on an entire town of monsters and killed a god just so get could find his daughter again. After leaving the town with his child, now a baby again, he went and raised her by himself. They were almost caught by the cult from Silent Hill but Harry killed the person who found them, in self defence. In short there is almost nothing Harry will not do to keep his daughter safe. He also worries a great deal about her safety thanks to the cult and just general fatherly over protectiveness. Heather has described him as a worry-wart and when she was a teenager he gave her a stun-gun to protect herself. So yeah, he is a worry-wart. But then again, he's had good reasons to worry.
Harry is also quite a logical person. When in Silent Hill he keeps careful records of his time there, also recording all the places he goes on the maps he finds of the area. This way he doesn’t get lost as much and he knows where to search next when he's going through the town. He’s clever as well because there are many puzzles scattered across the town and Harry had to solve them before being able to continue onward. And some of these puzzles are quite difficult and weird. Some involved finding different keys, some involved rhymes and pianos and some involved chemicals. So he's smart and also a good writer, being able to make a living off of it before and after his "adventures" in Silent Hill.
Harry went from a man sure that the world was a logical and sane place, if a dangerous one; to someone that was suddenly aware that cults were not always making up what they preached and that the supernatural was quite real. This change comes as he goes through Silent Hill the first time, starting to accept more and more that reality isn't what he thinks it is and that his daughter isn't what he thinks she is either. Watching Lisa realize she's actually dead and having to kill Cybil who has a parasite on her, are things the push him into fully believing that what's happening can't be explained away by normal methods.
Harry also harbors a lot of guilt for his actions in Silent Hill, even after all these years. Most notably for not being able to do anything to save Lisa and Cybil. He views the fact that he ran from Lisa, as a cowardly one and that he killed Cybil as something he can never fully forgive himself for. He understands that they were both things he could do nothing for, or had to do but he still wishes there were something he could have done. Part of him still blames himself.
While Harry trusts his daughter to do the right thing, when he was given the baby at the end of Silent Hill 1 he wasn't so sure. In his notes in Silent Hill 3, he confesses he almost killed the baby or simply abandoned her, because he was so afraid that it was really just Alessa, who he blamed at the time for taking his daughter Cheryl away. However he didn't give in to that fear and learned to love Heather just as much as he had Cheryl. However he still holds his thoughts and actions he almost did, against himself, writing in his notes to Heather, that he was a terrible person to have thought such a thing about her.
These thoughts of guilt he keeps close to himself and only his daughter really knows about them. He's had years of keeping everything about Silent Hill hidden from everyone, his daughter included. She only found out about his story through his notes and talking to him when he appeared in route. Being in route has helped him come to terms with his guilt somewhat, because he's met Lisa and Cybil here and was able to talk to them. Also just through time with the secret of Silent Hill out in the open between him and his daughter as well as Henry Townshend knowing about the town. This has helped as he no longer has to keep the whole thing locked inside him.
Harry’s not the best when it comes to social situations. He’s a friendly man; however he cut himself off from the world when his wife died which was years ago. His profession as an author gives him another reason to stay away from people, working from home. That’s why in Silent Hill his conversations are rather awkward and slightly one tracked. He’s honest and a good man. He was just not as in touch with the world as he was before his wife died. He was quite content to just look after his daughter and quietly write. Though he was willing to take her on a trip when she requested to go to a place called Silent Hill. The social isolation got even worse after Silent Hill and after the whole, on the run from the cult thing happened and Harry became even more isolated. He changed their names, dyed his daughters hair and kept them moving. Mostly keeping to himself socially, worried that if he made too many connections that would lead to them being found by the cult.
However after being at route for three years, he's gotten better at opening up and talking to people. He's not the best but he can start conversations casually now and make posts, make jokes, make friends. It took a while but he's not as paranoid about the cult, the fact that they essentially caught and killed him, helped with that as his worst fear already came true. Speaking to his daughter to find out that they didn't succeed in using her to end the world helped a lot as well and just made him feel better about not being able to be there for his daughter. Which he does still feel bad for, but he now blames the cult for that, more then himself, for once.

[Harry Mason is very tired. Also he's pretty sure he's supposed to be dead....again. He smiles a bit though.]
Well apparently there's no rest for the wicked. Or ...authors for that matter. I don't know how long it's been, it seems different here but if feels like I just left. Though that might just be from the point in time I left my world from.
[The death part. He was dead, apparently it didn't stick....again.]
Now this is a familiar question. But has anyone seen a little girl....okay I'm teasing. My name's Harry Mason. I'm wondering if my daughter Heather is still here. Her and a man named Henry Townshend. We travelled together when I was last here.
[And Henry is also family.]
So if you guys are here...uh..I'm somehow back in the starting town with a new pokemon and all my stuff is gone. I'm not really sure how that happened.

Player Name: Nobi E-mail: nobistdick@gmail.com Preferred Contact: NobiNibo @ Plurk dot com Timezone: EST Current Characters in Victory Road: Ignis Scientia, Yuri Plisetsky, Credence Barebone Character Name: Saruhiko Fushimi Series: K-Project Timeline: End of Season 1 Canon Resource:Beware, for it is long and full of spoilers.
Personality: Fushimi is a realist. There are no heroes, only your own merit and unfortunately the world has hardly lived up to his expectations. Most find him depressing to be around. Lazy and disinterested in most things Fushimi has a laundry list of things he dislikes and will tell you them as well. Anti-social to a fault he also will be glad to make it known that he doesn’t like people either. Back home, coworkers are low on his list of interesting things and he preferred to avoid social events. With enough badgering he will attend such frivolities but often there’s complaints on the tip of his tongue. He would much prefer staying by himself, focusing on video games and programming, anything to focus his mind on and feel as if he’s accomplishing a task. At least, as long as it’s challenging enough. Friends are not something he makes easily and he has enough barbed walls of steel up to make it difficult for those who want to try. He has a jealous streak a mile wide and when the one friend he had in the past seemed to move on he began petty antics to gain even negative attention. Resentment can run rampant as well and he will take it out on those he deems as thieves of his time spent with those he cares about. Still, once a friendly connection has been forged he may extend a helping hand. A part of him still craves that positive connection he once had. He has a twisted side to him as well, bordering sadistic. He’s willing to act in a cut-throat manner to achieve his goals and if he wishes to particularly get a rise out of an opponent he will play up a more gleefully psychotic personality that he draws from someone in his past. Fushimi generally appears unafraid of anyone and is quick to prove that fear is nothing to him. Unfortunately, there are people he fears despite attempts to bury it deep. His sensitivity also shows in other ways. Though awkward and seemingly disinterested he is open to indulging in the whims of children. Children and animals as well both seem to enjoy his presence as if to spite him for being anti-social in the first place. Pokémon Information Affiliation: Team Rocket Starter: Scraggy, Type: Null (Alternate if it’s a no go - Froakie) Type: Null - Reasoning -- So Fushimi lives in a world where you can join a clan and gain that clan’s “aura”. He’s thus far been one of the only 2 notable person to have multiple auras, amassing 3 separate auras by the end of the series (And being the only one to do so). I feel this is pretty fitting to a Type: Null who after evolving can also utilize multiple types through item usage. Outside of that, as Null is a research project by Silph Co. and Fushimi is interested in puzzles of the world he could study it as well. Password: Atomic Fireball

Character Name: Roxas Series: Kingdom Hearts Timeline: Post Dream Drop Distance Canon Resource Links:Roxas's fandom wiki entry. If there is something specific you want explained about Kingdom Hearts I promise to do my best to explain it.
Personality: Given that he is Sora's nobody, a lot of what makes Roxas who he is comes from Sora. It shouldn't be surprising, at all, that he's just about as naive as they come. He's a child forced to do an adult's job, and he sometimes just isn't sure how to handle the seriousness of what is happening around him. Then again, given he's part of Organiztion XIII, most of the time he just has no idea what's going on anyway. He looks at everything like it's a new adventure with new things to learn and has a childlike wonder towards most of it. Every world he goes to is just as fascinating to him as the last. He looks to the older members of the organization to teach him how to function, especially since he has no memories of his own, and takes bits and pieces of all their personalities in order to become the person he is now.
One thing that also carried over from Sora is how ridiculously loyal Roxas can be. He'll do pretty much anything that is asked of him, without question, wanting to prove that he's not useless and that he has a place within the organization. At least, that's how he started. While he began with a devotion to the organization as a whole, it evolved into a devotion to his close friends and companions. He feels a drive to help and protect them, no matter the nature of the threat, even if it's from something else that holds his loyalty to a lesser degree such as the leaders of the Organization. Along with this loyalty comes an eagerness to please and make everyone happy. He's usually the first to jump at a chance to do something if it means making others happy and is like an adorable puppy that will run off wagging his tail without really thinking things through completely.
With the good always comes the bad. There are a small handful of dark traits which Roxas has found himself with that seem to be more his than Sora's. He's very temperamental, which is strange for someone that supposedly doesn't have a heart. Most of the organization members simply 'ghost' emotions, while Roxas seems to actually experience them. Even with as happy go lucky as he is, Roxas is very quick to anger. His anger melds more with frustration a lot of the time, growing into something of a determined rage. Much of this often spawns from being unaware or unable to comprehend the depth of events unfolding around him, or his own nature. Sometimes his anger and confusion leads him to brash decisions and sends him down unorthodox paths. Unlike Sora, Roxas finds himself actually hating some individuals and holding grudges. Thankfully, time spent chilling in Sora's heart has calmed his temperament some, and given him some insight into the way the world looks.
Even with his ever-onward attitude, Roxas does find road blocks in life in the form of insecurities. He doesn't know who to trust or what to believe at times, and that makes him fumble quite a bit. He finds himself unsure of whether or not he's actually a real person and that makes it hard for him to move forward sometimes. It's these insecurities and doubts that make him bitter and resentful, hating the organization for what they made him into and what they were using him for, and even making him hate Sora for a time. Roxas is able to accept what he is and what his purpose is wholeheartedly. He knows, deep down, that being a part of Sora is what he's meant to be and he goes willingly, allowing himself to rest and finally feel whole, even if he's not his own person anymore.

Character Name: Alphinaud Leveilleur Series: Final Fantasy XIV Timeline: Post 4.0 Canon Resource Links:wiki
Personality: Alphinaud is smart and he knows it, and because of it he has a huge ego. His intentions are however good, as he wants to be the protector of Eorzea (fantasy Europe) that his grandfather was. Between being among the youngest admitted and graduating from the Studium (fantasy Harvard) and having a prestigious family, he is very confident in his abilities. This has often led him terribly astray, as others have used his influence and organizational abilities to harm others and incite violent rebellions.
He tries to always put out this calm, professional demeanor. He is not easily rattled by opponents, but his sister and close friends can break his cool facade when they choose to tease him. In spite of his prestige and wading in of all the diplomacy he does, he is a pretty simple teenage boy. He is spurred on by hormones, the desire for a brother that approves of him, and to be useful and important. He has his silly weaknesses, such as his fear of ghosts and inability to swim. He’s totally a nerd, though he idolizes rugged masculinity. Even if those possessing those qualities like to tease him for his physical shortcomings, general femininity, and survival wilderness ignorance.
We learn that Alphinaud is an extremely adept artist for his age, and that he honed his talents in order to impress girls at the Studium. As much as he likes to impress women, he is often enough mistaken for one or teased for acting like one. He and his sister look remarkably alike, and when not in her company, NPC acquaintances constantly mistake him for her. The man he shares a brotherly relationship with whom he idolizes teases him for “mewling like a maiden” as he cries at his bedside when he thinks the man might die.
In spite of often being the youngest person in the room, he asserts himself as an adult and is often respected as one. He earns his place easily. When he sets out to do something, he goes in to succeed at peril of dying if he fails. When all thought that his brother-figure would die at the hands of an evil dragon’s influence, he alone said that he would snatch him from the jaws of death.
Alphinaud parries verbal blows and keeps up with conversations, often at pace or with fuller comprehension than anyone else listening. He is often relied upon as the strategist and the guy to do the talking.

Character Name: Sidurgu Orl Series: Final Fantasy XIV Timeline: End of the 70 questline Canon Resource Links:Wiki link
Original Character Background: N/A
Personality: To start things off, Sidurgu is a pretty complicated guy. Having come from the land of Othard—the Azime Steppe in particular, which is rampant with Xaela Au Ra who war between each other—he's never really been in an environment that's been at all peaceful. However, he wasn't there for long, before his clan fled to Eorzea, which only lead to more bloodshed and strife, permanently scarring the boy emotionally.
It's from there he developed into the standoffish (almost cruel) man he is. He doesn't hesitate to kill off those he perceives as a threat to him and his, and has no qualms with killing people who conflict with his sense of justice. However, that isn't to say he's just some rampant murderer, he kills with a cause! He protects the weak from those of higher social standing, who otherwise reap no consequences for their actions. He's the justice they so deserve, but at the cost of being an outcast, and hated by not only his enemies, but those he even serves and protects.
Thus is the way of being a dark knight.
That being said, he isn't exactly the most selfless person either. Having taken on a charge named Rielle, he saved her from certain death at the hands of the Temple Knights with the aid of his long time companion Fray; his deeds weren't exactly based entirely out of the goodness of his heart. Though he often claims his violence and killing is for Rielle's sake, the girl picks up there's something more too it. Which, there certainly is.
For all he's sworn an oath to protect Rielle, it really comes down to the fact he's using her as his own means of redemption and vengeance against the Temple Knights. That isn't to say he doesn't want to help her, or that he doesn't care to some degree: he does. It's just that his vengeance against those who have wronged him often tints every endeavor. While he abhors the injustices that the Temple Knights often dish out to the undeserving, it's that same injustice that he once faced that fuels him, drives him to protect the weak, to play the protector that he once had, that he would have died if he had been without.
Due to being raised as a young vigilante, and having a life filled with bloodshed (as well as being an outcast), Sidurgu really isn't the best with social situations. He's rather socially stunted, and as such he comes across as very cold and aloof towards most. Maybe even downright rude, which may or may not be intentional. He's a very crass man, says what he means, and not much more. He's short and to the point, because he has no interest in doing any sort of small talk. He can speak rather formally at times, and he knows general etiquette when it comes to addressing those of higher standing, but for the most part he doesn't fall back on this much. Especially not with random people.
Along with his social skills being rather subpar, he's also very likely to get pissed off if things don't go his way. He has very little emotional restraint, and is actually quite sensitive despite his intimidating outward presence. He yells quite a lot when something upsets him, and knows little in the ways of holding back. Even saying somewhat cruel things to those he regards fondly if he's upset enough, even guilt tripping them if he feels it necessary.
When he found out that Rielle's mother was at the cause of their misery, he berated her for not telling him, saying he had a right to know because he bled for her, and Fray died for her! Despite the fact she had never asked for any of this, he imposed his protection on her, and while she's grateful for his aid... his guilt tripping wasn't really appropriate, or called for in the least, but little did he honestly regret it. Nor show much remorse for it.
This sort of impulsiveness with his emotions also leads to his own recklessness. With how he rushes into battle and danger, with reckless abandon, it's almost like he's suicidal in some ways. Perhaps he is, or perhaps his emotions run so high that he can't think of self preservation, and instead is too focused on taking down his enemy. Lashing out, attacking, and killing. His emotions pretty much rule him, whether they be his anger, or his sorrow, but he seems to overly rely on anger as his fall back. It's likely easier that way, and does well to keep up his tough dark knight image.
Rielle had even once called him out on this behavior, about how he seemed to be seeking new and exciting ways to kill himself. That he'd throw himself into deadly situations, just so she could heal him up, put him back together, merely for him to do it all over again. That he held little regard for what that sort of thing did to her. To which he went silent, because she was absolutely right, and he probably knew throwing a fit wouldn't dissuade her from her stance on the topic, nor prove otherwise regardless.
Despite his emotional sensitivity and tendencies to throw tantrums, he can be surprisingly calm when confronted about his bullshit, if given the time to blow off some steam, that is. During their quest to figure out better means to control the Dark Arts, the Warrior of Light, Rielle, and himself had visited the moogles of Moghome for their supposed knowledge over such. Soon upon arrival, Rielle claimed that she was tired of this charade they have been doing, that there had to be something else that Sidurgu was putting his life on the line for other than for her own safety, which of course he implored that it was for her sake. Rielle was not convinced.
The visit did, however, end in a scheme where the moogles pretended they took Rielle away forever. After quite the trouncing from Sidurgu and the Warrior of Light (however not without Sidurgu yelling and even actually crying for them to give Rielle back to him), the moogles then questioned him on why he even cared for Rielle. Why he wanted her back, to which he answered he swore an oath to her, that he was duty bound. The moogles then broke into song about how duty and honor were inferior to the true power behind the dark arts: love. Sidurgu, of course, wasn't buying it.
Once Rielle showed up to the embarrassing scene, she called him out on how what he was doing was for his own vengeance. Accusing him that it was for himself, his master, and Fray, not for her. With no proper way to deny it or rebuff it, and with Rielle's on the mark accusation hitting home, he calmly admitted to it. Even apologized to her. Offering that he would stand in for her against her mother, but after that, if she so wished to be rid of him, he would respect that.
Though he might be hot-headed, standoffish and often times selfish or cruel, under it all he does absolutely care. Perhaps, he cares too much, with how sensitive he is. He wants to help those in need, protect those who need it, and carry that burden himself. However, he can easily fall inline with pursuing his own vengeance, his own means of coping with what wrongs had befell him in the past. Using other people's plights to fuel his own thirst for revenge. To put it plainly, he has a lot of baggage, so much so, not even an airport has shit on this guy's baggage claim.
Despite that, he is trying. Trying to help those he can, in the only way he knows how. The only way he's been giving the chance to. While it does little to actually help his own suffering, it's a sacrifice he's willing to take to deliver what justice he can to those who deserve it. To give what "mercy" to those who shed none for others deserve.

The first thing that is noticeable to Sidurgu is that it isn't cold anymore. Or, rather, not as cold as Ishgard is.
The second being how heavy his armor is. Third being that his horns are no longer there, but instead two fleshy slabs on either side of his head take their place. This, of course, throws off his balance, and while he attempts to make sense of the world around him, and what's happened; being 6'10 in a suit of armor made for someone with far more strength than the average human has—even someone not so average—made everything that much worse.
To put it simply: he is not having a good time. In fact, one could be as bold to say the time he is having is a bad one. And he's pissed.
So pissed, he listened to exactly nothing anyone had to say or explain, and as he struggles to stay on his feet without his horns or tail to assist him in his balance and spacial recognition, the armor only weighed him down further, he finds himself only more annoyed at this entire situation. Despite the struggle, and annoyance, he can only find himself fretting over Rielle. She is no where to be seen, and here he is, no longer an Au Ra (even if he kept the size and shape of one), disoriented and lost. He feels helpless and confused, which only fuels his anger.
In hindsight, it was probably a mistake to not listen to the hyurs that attempted to assist him, that tried to inform him as they could, that gave him the supplies he has, as well as a ball that has some sort of creature in it. Finding himself a good few yalms from the small town, he looks to the red and white ball in his bag, finding security under a tree—or so he mistakenly assumes. Just as he's about to release the mysterious creature from its confines, a brown beastkin of some sort drops down upon him! Both frightening it, and himself. The former scurrying some few feet away.
Instinctively he reaches for a greatsword that isn't there, and he curses his rotten luck. The sentret, clearly sick of this tall human's hesitance, lunges forward to tackle him—getting caught in the middle of the attack by a purple looking bat. Noibat, Sidurgu will learn it's called. Fortunately for him, it released itself just in time.
As it defends him from the wild pokèmon, it looks back for his command, making no attack without it. Onward Sidurgu stares, a bit baffled by the scene he's gotten himself into, but knowing that hesitance will only cost him and his new companion.
"Show it no mercy, beat that shitehead into submission!" He growls out the order, and while he'd prefer to be the one doing the pummeling, he supposes he can let this little monster carry his fury instead. He might yet get used to this.
