Player: Psi Contact:PsiYamaneko Anything Else?: I talk about video games a lot. I obsess over them. I play them. I make them for a living. Sometimes I talk about other stuff but I'm not very interesting, don't follow me!
(fandoms: Tales of, Suikoden, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Legend of Zelda, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Final Fantasy, niche western games too numerous to list)
Character: Vholran Igniseri Canon: Tales of Arise Canon Point: Post Canon
Crime: Tyranny
Background: An oppressive, domineering asshole who thinks he gets to rule the world. Hates everyone. Thinks humans don't deserve rights. He throws his weight around so you think he is a cruel warlord and that his megalomania isn't a trauma response but it's definitely a trauma response.
Abilities: Extremely acrobatic swordsman who was biohacked into a powerful elementalist that explodes when upset. Basically. He uses mostly water and ice magic.
Plans: Plans will crystalize more with time. Vholran is a character who has done awful things, like brutally rule over a slave nation, in canon but canon also tries to make it clear that he isn't purely evil. At this point in his life, he can't be fully redeemed but maybe he can find somewhat more productive ways to vent his anger. Tales of Arise does not do a deep exploration of his character but his premise is very interesting. I want to explore the character in ways the game maybe was going to do but did not in the version of it we ended up getting.
Vholran will probably not make friends easily but he can attempt to form alliances.
He is a very unpleasant man so please don't have your character provoke him if you don't want to deal with ic consequences. This isn't to say I intend to make him impossible to interact with. Usually, he is content to leave people alone as long as they aren't a threat to him. Since he has a very high opinion of himself people need to prove they are threats. I'm here to play a villain but not one that will be on an unending rampage and making the game annoying to play in.
Let me know if you'd like to use any TDM stuff as game canon.
???: Honestly it's a bit intimidating to play a character who was praised in canon as
"Worst Tales villain in recent memory. Full stop." "Mess of a character." "Discount Sephiroth."
and
"He ruined the game!"
...No, but seriously he isn't a well loved character in the fandom. If you've learned to appreciate what they were going for it can be hard to read the constant dragging of him but a lot of it is probably not unfair. He really is responsible for the weakest parts of the game.
Playing a character that most people hate for not fun reasons can be its own can of worms. But I really do think the character has potential. And I have never written him before in my life so bear with me as I get used to writing his voice etc.
NOTE: Vholran's character involves things like trauma, mental illness, slavery and body horror and also he is a villain. If you think you might not want to interact with him please use his Opt Out!
