Name: Guy Cecil
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Age: 21
Canon:The planet Auldrant is really keeping Score -- or is maybe kept by it; as an ancient prophecy that predicts a future of prosperity for all, the Score has a firm hold on nearly everyone in the world: Religion looks to it as a symbol, governments consult it to decide policy or orchestrate warfare, and your average citizen uses it like a daily horoscope -- the most-dependent of cases even checking it for what they should have for dinner. Unfortunately, the Score's not all sunshine and rainbows, and between those who'd kill to keep to the Score and those who'd kill to get rid of it, the world's pretty down-beat. Enter the protagonist: Luke fon Fabre, a spoiled, self-centered noble who's desperately out of tune with the world around him. Altruism really isn't his forte, until a rather traumatic brush with the Score's prophecy leaves Luke questioning his identity and right to exist. Fortunately, over the course of the story Luke learns to be the change he wants to see in the world: friendly, full of hope, and most importantly, alive; existing free from the strains of the Score.
Luke's not the only one with a Score to settle, so to speak; Guy Cecil is Luke's servant, but also one of his closest friends, and as such he's a little put-upon and a lot patient -- he sort of has to be, to put up with an attitude like Luke's. Guy's friendly, reliable, and generally easy-going, but that certainly doesn't make him a push-over; he may give in on a petty argument, but will stick to his guns -- or rather, his sword -- when it's important. Cheerful nature aside, Guy's own tragic backstory has left him with a tragically hilarious, paralyzing fear of women... which gets him into a fair bit of trouble, since Guy is handsome, polite, and charming -- at least until said women come into arm's reach. He really does love women! Just... from a distance.

You know, miss, I can't say this is exactly what I was expecting, when you asked for my help rescuing your friends. You told me a bunch of guerrillas had kidnapped some hot chicks... I certainly didn't expect to find actual apes and some fire-breathing ducks! I ...don't think that's what most people mean when they talk about hot chicks, either -- here I was, all ready to give you a talk about referring to people with a little more respect, once this was all over... but it looks like it's not necessary anyway, if your little friends here were all you meant. I'm actually sort of relieved; no harm, no fowl, as they say!
Oh, please don't think I was complaining, miss. I'm glad I was able to help you get your friends back. Though, it almost looked like you didn't need my help at all -- you're definitely very striking yourself, if that blow you gave that kidnapper is any indication! I'm sure nobody could blame you for just losing your head like that; kidnapping is a serious crime, and anyone would be upset if their friends went missing. You've really put yourself back together nicely too -- I'm actually surprised to hear you don't have any experience with fighting.
Anyway, now that all your ducks are in a row, let's get you back to your cabin; I'd be happy to escort you, just in case those gorillas come back. I know they say the best defense is to be offensive, but I think they were taking that a little too far. Someone with such an air of grace and dignity like yourself should be treated accordingly, after all. Me, I'm just a servant, and even I can see that. I'm just happy to have been your temporary knight in shining armor.
...A-Ah, no, miss, don't feel like you need to give me a favor -- Like I said, it was just temporary knighthood; a kiss really isn't necessary. I don't need a proper thanks. A-And you definitely shouldn't do anything improper to thank me, either! So if you could please just-- just stay over there! I don't need to be rewarded! I-In fact, it wasn't even me who rescued them, honest, y-you've-- you've got the wrong guy!
--What do you mean, I don't have to worry, you were a trap all along? That's not comforting at all!
