Character Name: Claude von Riegan
Age: 18
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Canon point: Less than a year into the timeskip
History: Link to his wiki page
Personality: The five words to describe Claude is that he is Charming, Clever, Insensitive, Ambitious, and Hubristic. Claude’s entire goal and mode of operation is largely informed by both the prejudice that he faced in his childhood and his natural charisma and smarts. Due to the aforementioned childhood experiences, he has a single-minded focus on taking over the world, hence ambitious and hubristic. Despite the eccentric character of his fellow classmates, he’s more than able to corral and command them, and even get them all to like him, including those who started off distrustful, hence charming. However, he’s incredibly pushy when it comes to other people’s secrets, and he also tends to not really respect their desires, under the assumption that he just knows better, hence insensitive. And it’s not easy to hide things from him, as he’s incredibly perceptive, ferreting out that there’s more to his classmates behaviors than just their personality, and is able to, in each route of the game, find a scenario in which he achieves some measure of victory, even in the event of his death, hence clever.
Suitability: Claude is incredibly practical when it comes to his plans. He doesn’t know anything about this world, apparently there are things after his life, and also this changes absolutely everything in regard to his dreams of world domination. He’d stick around with the ADI because they seem to be his best bet, both for personal safety, and figuring out more about these entities.
Powers/Abilities: Claude has magic flowing in his blood, in the form of a minor Crest of Riegan. This grants him incredible senses and accuracy, as well as a significantly longer lifespan. In terms of skills, he’s terrific with a bow even without using his Crest, he’s similarly skilled with an axe, knows his way around a sword and riding various flying creatures, and he’s also an expert poisoner and notably good at sneaking around.
Entity Affinity: The Eye. Claude is physically incapable of leaving well enough alone, and, in practically all of his in-game interactions with other characters, digs into their personal lives and continuously attempts to unearth their secrets. In his route in the game, he makes it clear that if someone won’t share information willingly, he’ll simply find some other way to learn it.
Inventory: Claude would come with the clothes on his back, a variety of poisons, and the magical bow Failnaught. Given that basically none of the Relics actually have anything interesting about them in the game aside from being incredibly powerful magical weapons, I think that it could maybe grant knowledge of the immediate future (some cross between spidey sense and combat precognition, basically), at the risk of going too deep and overwhelming the user with visions of suffering and other eldritch truths.
