Disposition:
-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, denouncing his rule. Although his primary motivation is love for his sister, his vehicle for moving forward with his plans is anger at their fate.
-Devotion to Duty: Ravus considers his primary duty to protect Lunafreya. As both the Oracle of their star and his sister, Lunafreya is the most important person to Ravus, and he is willing to sacrifice anything to keep her safe. He joins the Imperial Army, his enemy, and rises in their ranks to gain the power and position that will allow him to enact his plan. The first effort he makes is to take the Ring of Lucii, which obviously fails. Then, he uses his rank as Imperial High Commander to keep Lunafreya from being captured, and even plans to kill one of the 6 Astrals so that Luna cannot form a life-draining covenant with her. When he is finally forced to confront the fact that he can no longer protect Lunafreya from her duty, he encourages her to keep going, and when Lunafreya dies, he resolves to support Noctis in her stead, in spite of his personal feelings about the prince.
-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. For someone who so highly values loyalty and duty to be accused of disloyalty, forced to hold his tongue in his own defense to protect his sister, is a constant source of fury for him.
-(Lack of) Trust: 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. In the game, he functions as a foil for Noctis, who has formed strong bonds with his brothers-in-arms, and Ravus' isolation dooms him to failure. It is only when he begins to trust- first in Lunafreya's convictions, then in Ignis' abilities, and finally in Noctis' destiny- that Ravus is able to move forward and grow.
Under pressure: Ravus is competent and self-reliant to a flaw, but he also struggles with his anger and tends to be over-dramatic. When he faces challenges, he tends to keep his plans very close to the chest. However, he's willing to engage with the power structures in place in his world and do what is necessary to ensure he has the resources he needs for his goals. In this world, if intimacy is what is required of him to remain independent and potentially be able to provide for his sister (if she shows up), he will do it. Ravus powered through 12 years of serving in the Imperial Army even though they murdered his mother; he's capable of doing whatever it takes to get himself ahead.
When he becomes overwhelmed with anger, he tends to lash out violently. It's completely possible that he will get into fights or get himself arrested if someone knows how to push him the right way. His triggers for rage are mostly related to his sister's death or King Regis, so when interacting with characters outside of his canon, it is less likely that they will have the right fuel to fan those particular flames.
Condition upon arrival:
Ravus will be arriving shortly after losing his sister. Mentally, he is grieving, but is clinging to his promise to Lunafreya to keep himself going. He's technically allied with the Lucians now (though they may not be aware of that).
Physically, he is still injured from the various battles in Altissia (fighting his way through the city, getting sense beaten into him by Ignis, and being slammed into a stone pillar by Ardyn's magic). He was able to walk away, but is pretty beaten up and bruised.
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, and is a formidable boss when Ignis fights against him.
-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.
Inventory: -Alba Leonis: Ravus' saber, bestowed to him by the Nifleheim Emperor when he became an Imperial Officer.
-Tenebraen Raiment: his clothing, the most extra coat you could hope for
-Magitek prosthetic arm: a replacement for his left arm after it was burned by the Kings of Lucii's rejection. Gave him enhanced strength and an elemental lightning attack
Gembond: Amethyst
Gem Location: Left hand palm (integrated with his Magitek prosthetic)
