Firion

Character Outline
Appearance:

Firion is a tall person, roughly 6'3", with silver hair. Currently, he wears it layered all around with a small portion at the nape of his neck grown out, when tied it becomes a rat tail. His eyes are golden brown and his skin is lightly tanned. He also has a colorful and beaded bandanna covering only so much of his head. He often wears jewelery, earrings rings and beads in his hair.

Personality:

To have a dream to fill the world with wild roses makes Firion perhaps one of the most passionate of the heroes in the Final Fantasy series. It also makes him seem a bit childish and even gullible at times (Lamia Queen, anyone?). However, his passion comes from the fact that his life has been filled with pain and suffering due to the war and turmoil caused by The Emperor and all he wants is a world free from it. His parents had died and so he came to live with Maria and Leon (who are siblings) and became friends with Guy, who had been raised by animals. And now, their parents are dead as well, leaving all four the only survivors (though Leon is separated and worked for the Emperor). Firion is a simple and earnest man. Everyone knows it as well as he.

But it's that simplicity, that earnestness, and that childlike dream that he holds so dear to his heart that allows him to touch the hearts of many. Even when he doesn't even realize he is doing it. All because of a Wild Rose, or rather, the Wild Rose Rebellion where his rose symbol came to fruition. His dream for a world at peace, to willingness to do whatever it takes allowed him to join the rebellion despite the Princess Hilda's reservations (she thought them mere children). It is also because of this connection that allows him to become such good friends with those around him. He cherishes his friends dearly and will do anything for them. It's why Guy is probably the closest to Firion than anyone else, because Firion just puts Guy's safety, happiness, everything before his own. Of course, it's easy to say that he does this to all his friends.

And it is also his bravery and strength that sets him apart from others. He will go where ever he must to help those in need and he will ensure his friends are safe. Adventurous and maybe a little silly, Firion's passion for seeing his dream come true holds no bounds. He will bravely fight for what he believes in, he will bravely fight for his friends, and he will never turn away a friend in need. His strength of heart to fight even in the more dire of situations, to never give up, truly sets him apart from others. He rarely doubted and never looked back. To be adventurous is to see what the future holds, isn't it? At least, that what Firion always thought.

However, despite being the seemingly poised, mature one, the mediator in some cases, he is inwardly a bit childish. Upon waking up in the Altair keep from his town getting burned down, he hardly thought of the consequences or the fact that he was young, he immediately wanted to get revenge and fight. Perhaps his dream is something he clings too heavily on. But, at this point, it's also all he has.

Firion needed to put his new found strength to the test, once he received the Ultima tome. Many friends have already died, he didn't want it to happen again. Of course, things never really went that way but by the end of the war, the Emperor was gone and Fynn restored. Firion was left much more mature than any eighteen year old should be. He had no family. But he had a place to call home. Leon may never return to them and despite what he had done, Firion would always forgive him. His life was finally at peace and his heart was still as big as ever, if wounded from the year's hardship on him. He's not the same simple man that he used to be.

But he believes with all his might on that childish, passionate dream of his and now, he could see it come to fruition. No one would die anymore due to conflict. Those who did would forever remind him of the scars of war and if anyone should try to start war anew, he would fight to bring peace once again.

Specific Strengths/Weaknesses:

As a Fae, Firion is weak to iron, however, he can resist the burn a bit longer than a pure fae. However, he still retains an aspect specific to himself. He can manipulate metal into being whatever he wanted. The most common form is a bow or a sword. He can create arrows out of energy. His weakness as a kuinishi is the same as the others. He can be killed like any normal human and too much magic can short him out and render him useless (but he has his fae magic to compensate). However, Firion is a formidable fighter, able to utilize all kinds of weapons that he creates with silver so actually killing him can be tough.

Character History
Firion was born between a kuinishi father and a fae mother in 820 B.C. This union, however, is looked down upon by both races. They decided to live on their own. His mother wasn't a Solitary Fae but she didn't mind leaving the Summer Court. They both taught him the arts unique to their races, though he hadn't fully mastered it all by the time the war happened. During the war, he lost both of his parents and was sent to the Summer Court in the house of Frionel, his mother's House.

For the next several hundred years, he would live there, treated nothing more than like an unwanted pet. No one really liked him there, they simply tolerated his presence. They fed him, clothed him, they gave him all the necessities he needed. Firion had yet to master how to gate in and out of places, so he wasn't sure how to leave the Fae Realm. But his presence, however, seemed to have not gone unnoticed.

One Solitary Fae named Kakei heard of him and decided that he didn't should have to be in the Summer Court despite his last name and took him to him home in Lucretia. There, Firion was able to master how to gate, gain more control over his kuinishi powers, and even master the many weapons he creates with silver.
