CHARACTER INFO

Character Name: Ravus Nox Fleuret
Age: 28
Canon: Final Fantasy XV

World Description: Wiki Link (Eos)

History: Wiki Link (Ravus)

Death: Killed by Ardyn while disguised as Noctis. He is later revived as a daemon and killed again by the party, but I am going to use his death as a human as the entry point into the game.

What are your plans for this character in-game? Ravus in canon is a solitary character, serving as a foil for Noctis, who always has his team of friends to help him. Ravus gets killed off when he starts to work with the team, so my plan is to explore him actually being able to have allies and work toward a common goal. He's going to be pissed that after everything his family has done to try to save the light on Eos, he is stuck in an afterlife full of darkness. From the TDM, Ravus is thinking a way to go would be to see if it is possible to lure the world eaters away from civilization by using decoy groups to lure them away.

What aspects of this game and/or its setting are you most interested in having this character engage with? Coming from a world that is slowly losing its light, I am definitely interested in having Ravus engage with the mystery of the eternal night here. He considers it his duty to help save the world, even if this one isn't his.

How does your character generally get along with other people? Ravus is a loner in recovery. He spent his the past 12 years working alone to try to position himself in such a way that he would be able to save his sister, and only enters an alliance with Ignis as a last-ditch effort to save her. He begins to open up to working with the Lucians before his death. In most interactions, Ravus is kind of stiff and formal, but it's a learning process. He hates asking for help, but he's going to have to if he wants to survive here.

What is your character's mental state upon entering the game?
Ravus has been living with the knowledge that his sister (and Noctis, but that's less important) would die for Eos, and he has been fighting it for his whole life with increasing desperation. When Lunafreya dies, he resolves to do what he can to aid Noctis in her stead, but he isn't super concerned with keeping himself alive in the process. He walks into the Imperial Capital with the knowledge that he probably won't walk back out. Upon waking up in Beacon, he's going to be frustrated and depressed that his sister is still struggling, even in the afterlife. Any promised reward for their toil was a lie. He won't let his feelings keep him from acting, though. He's got plenty of experience working through the pain.

Skills/Abilities:
-Sword Fighting: Ravus uses both his saber and later King Regis's sword in battle. He is shown taking down magitek armor with his blade when he teams up with Ignis.
-Magitek Weaponry: He is only shown using the magitek in his prosthetic arm, but presumably as an Imperial Officer, Ravus has received training in its use.
-Last Rites (Technique): A powerful attack that uses electricity from his Magitek arm in a thunder attack.
-Imperial Command: Ravus is an officer in the army and is able to command both Magitek Infantry and the lower ranking officers in the army.
-Eos Lore: As a member of the Oracle's family and a former prince of Tenebrae, Ravus has been thoroughly educated in the legends, prophecies, and history of Eos.

Flaws/Weaknesses:
-Trust Issues: At 16, Ravus feels that he was abandoned by King Regis and Lucis. From that point onward, he has given up looking on help from anyone other than himself. He tried to usurp Noctis' destiny by taking the Ring of the Lucii because he refuses to believe Noctis can succeed. Rather than working with the Lucians against the empire, Ravus plays his own long game and tries to singlehandedly save Lunafreya's life.
-Anger: Ravus' driving emotion is anger. His desire for revenge against King Regis leads him to join the Imperial Army, and he flies into a rage at an unconscious Noctis when his sister dies. He antagonizes the Emperor shortly before his death. Although his primary motivation is love for his sister, his vehicle for moving forward with his plans is anger at their fate.
-Pride: Ravus is stiff and formal, always trying to uphold the decorum of the line of the Oracle. He sacrifices his reputation by allowing the world to believe he has betrayed his sister and allied with the Empire, and it is apparent how heavily this weighs on him when he lashes out at Noctis for pointing out how he serves the emperor.
-Missing Arm: Ravus badly burns his left arm trying to wear the Ring of the Lucii. This results in his arm being amputated and replaced with a magitek prosthetic. This arm is severed by Ardyn as Ravus is killed. He will be coming in with it mostly missing.
-Lunafreya: Not a flaw, but Ravus' most important weakness. He would sacrifice anything to save his sister, and when faced with losing her, he was driven into a rage.

Personality: In spite of all his flaws, Ravus is a tragic character who really is trying to save his sister and find a way for her to be happy. He is motivated by his duty, first to his family, then to the rest of the world. He is the type of person who cares about results, not about the methods used to get there. He was willing to sacrifice his relationship with Lunafreya to ensure her safety and let his people think he was a traitor because it put him in a better position to protect his homeland.

Ravus' loyalty is hard won, but enduring, and his grudges have similar strength. Ravus doesn't believe in doing anything half-heartedly. He is overly dramatic, and has an extreme temper, but overall, he has a good heart and ends up dying in service to his world.

Items:
-Tenebraen Raiment (his default outfit with the Fleuret emblem; someone ripped and scorched from a magical blast)
-Magitek Prosthetic Arm, just the shoulder (left arm, chopped off by Ardyn)
