Emet-Selch

Player: Chips
Contact: DM to this journal or my other character [personal profile] strengthofwill

Character: Emet-Selch
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: 5.0 Shadowbringers - the nebulous time around the Warrior of Light's departure from Eulmore to their fleeing to Il Mheg

Crime: "Mass genocide and failure to treat other living persons with respect."

Background/Personality: Emet-Selch is the main antagonist of the Shadowbringers expansion. Known to most as an 'Ascian', he is considered a paragon amongst others of his kind, along with two others. His current guise, however, is that of the first emperor of the Garlean Empire - Solus zos Galvus. First impressions paint him as a grumpy, dour man who acts a lot older than he looks. But get to know him better and maybe you'll see that he cares more than he lets on.

Abilities: He is functionally a god to most "normal, human" characters. He can create things out of seemingly nothing and is an incredibly strong mage. At least, he was before the nerf by Expiation. Also, weirdly enough, wields a greatsword and gunblade with skill (probably a lot of other weapons too but why learn something new?).

Plans:
I currently have this network post up for him, asking for mages and non-magical characters to help him test out something. I'm not entirely sure he will succeed but the idea is to create either a battery or stored spells that people can save and activate without needing to draw upon whatever native magicks they have. Since aether is an XIV-specific magic, I imagine the battery idea will fail BUT hopefully his attempt to store spells for anyone to use counts as contributing to his 'rehabilitation'.
