Character: Ralsei
Canon: Post-Deltarune. CRAU with Bardsong.
Age: 24
Background Information: Wiki. In Bardsong, Ralsei's learned to stand up for himself, and to not take shit from people. He spent a lot of time with kobold friends there, living with them for most of his time there. They taught him both how to look after himself for his own sake, and he taught them how to cook and sew. Over the course of events in Bardsong, he learned to be less naive, but also that sometimes, the power of just making an effort to be there for people, even if neither know of anything that can be done, would help. He's gotten a lot better at being his own advocate in his interactions with others, and not being a doormat.
Personality: Ralsei's core character trait is that he wants to help, and a lot of his habits and hobbies are built around that. He cooks, cleans, sews, and keeps a very tidy house. In spite of that, for himself he keeps his clothes more clearly home-made -- visible seams on his hat and robes (though both are made waterproof).
While not as true as it used to be -- his time in Bardsong was good for him -- that he spent most of his life alone means he's vulnerable to praise and an easy target to embarrass in any number of ways.
He is at his core an optimist and does his best to see the best in everyone, and believes that everyone has good in them... though he is less willing than he used to be to take vitriol in order to see that.
Despite being by nature a little shy, he doesn't suffer greatly from social anxiety -- he's happy to approach anyone that looks like they need help with anything, or even just for conversation. Neither does his ereserved nature preclude his participation in combat -- he's never been one to run from danger, if anyone needs help.
Abilities & Inventory: Canonically, he utilizes a resource called 'tension' -- built by narrowly dodging attacks -- to heal, block attacks (in a particular fight, anyway), and Pacify enemies, which renders them asleep if they are exhausted or otherwise less willing to continue fighting. I sometimes write these as being innate, and sometimes write them as requiring tension -- whichever seems appropriate to the scene.
As for his dreamotion abilities, I was considering plant-based ones. Vines, making flowers grow, etc. Might do something with his resemblance to Asriel there at some point, what with the flowers that he produces looking like Flowey -- minus the face, of course.
Suitability & Plans: I'd love to play Ralsei in Songerein to interact with the cast! It being lowkey and not heavily plot based is a plus, because interacting with other characters in various situations is really fun. Ralsei's character being so lonely as he is makes interacting with others' characters rather fun.
As far as how well he'll fit into Songerein goes, that's another reason that I chose to app him. From experience I can say that I don't really have any problem interacting with any kind of characters with him (his best friends in Bardsong were kobold OCs, he had... a time... with Harry from Disco Elysium, and enjoyed visiting with Knoll from Fire Emblem 8), and the setting itself suits him well -- given his experience with molding his own kingdom in the aftermath of chapter 1 of Deltarune, he has some idea of how dreamscapes work, though this will lead to problems for him when he makes the assumption that they work the same. Fun stuff!
Delightfully, I found that when Chapter 2 of Deltarune came out midway through me playing him in Bardsong, I had his character spot on in mannerisms and habits, which was quite a joy to me.
Test Drive Sample: I'm still responding to people (so please excuse the low post count!), but my top level is here, and I've got a couple other threads scattered about here and here.
Questions: None!.
