Character info
Series/Fandom: Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles
Character's Name: Fai D. Flourite
Character's Sex: Male
Character's Age: Unknown but looks around 23. Real age of about 7 to 10 times that possibly.
Canon point: After the Epilogue, but just before his appearance in xxxHolic
Abilities:
Fai for starters is able easily detect magic, so if anyone has a magical ability, he is able to pick up on it. Though I am sure he will not know what type of magic it is exactly, he still can sense the magic as shown when he sensed where a fake wall was because there was someone with magic ability behind it.
He may not look like a fighter, but Fai has shown to be able to fight like a pro. Though unlike Kurogane who would fight with a sword, Fai has been shown tp mainly use long distance weapons like a bow and arrow and in one case used a stick to help hit bubbles that stung like acid if they hit you.
Not only can he detect magic, but he can use protection spells and any spells that harm people. This had been noted in a flashback when Fai mentioned the fact that any spell that was to help would always vanish from his mind once he learnt it, but any spells that harmed people he would still always remember. Fai has also learned spells that as he said uses a different kind of magic than his own. This was used when they were trying to escape after they taken a feather from a book, Fai used a spell that involved whistling to help them escape.
He also can change between worlds himself, even though he went with the others for reasons that changed throughout the manga, he can still do it himself if needed. Though he did mention that it can take a lot for the user when they do perform the spell, but it's not actually known if this was true or not.
Fai is a pretty powerful mage as shown in the D in his name, which in Celes meant he was the highest ranked mage from where he was from. The magic he has comes from his eyes, the left one will increase in power the more it is uses while the right one will decrease. He gave the right eye magic up in Nihon, in order to pay for an artificual arm for Kurogane, but he has since got his left one back, thus his magic has returned.
In the star setting his magic will be capped and his transporting ability will only be able to use between worlds.
Background:
BackgroundAppearance:
Fay in the final outfitPersonality:
General:
When he first came into the picture, Fai was someone who appeared to be a happy go lucky kind of guy, who was always smiling, always seemingly happy to the general annoyance of one of the traveling companions that he went around with. Though when he first met Kurogane, he never really called him by his actual name. Instead nicknames were created as he liked the reaction he got off the other man when he did call him by the nicknames instead of the real one.
With this happy go lucky side, it may seem like he is an idiot, but in fact he is very good at being able to observe someone and is able to determine if someone has had fighting experience in the past previously just by watching them fight, or at least if they had some type of training before. Though he rarely will show it himself, he is a very skilled fighter when it is necessary, but usually he gets someone else to fight or finds some way out of it and when he does fight, he would just not try very hard to fight for his own life unless there is someone he is close in danger, then he would get more involved. Although later and after some character development he has learned to appreciate himself a tiny bit.
Fai doesn't want to get close to anyone, so he uses the act as his way of not creating a bond between him and the person he is talking to or hanging around with because he doesn't want them to get hurt. This reasoning is because of his past and being known in his world as a twin of misfortune and that bad stuff would tend to happen because he was simply born a twin. Fai during his travels had not realized when he made that bond until someone pointed it out to him. So with him trying to avoid making a bond, he in fact ends up doing what he didn't want.
Fai may act silly, but he can have his mature side when talking about things, or generally when it is needed in one way or another, especially when talking about things that are serious or when a subject is brought up about himself.
When he was turned into a vampire after getting his eye ripped out, he started to become colder and more distant to most of his traveling mates, except for Sakura who he served like a loyal servant saying that he would do anything for her. He even started to call Kurogane by his name because he wanted to break the bond that he himself had made in the first place between them. This goes with the side of him that hides behind his smiles.
Fai does have a way with his words and actions in that he does express strong emotion, as he has shown on a couple of occasions when he has hit Kurogane when he was angry or annoyed, but usually this would not happen often. Fai may not want to or at least use to not want to, but he can get attached to people and then worry about their safety compared to his own. Officially from the point I have taken him from, he has shown now to generally care for his comrades and even helped them in the final battle.
Lastly by the end or the point he was taken from, Fai has started to instead of faking his actions and acting like he did originally, he is now generally starting to show that personality and is starting to be able to smile for real, instead of faking it like he used to. He also is starting to become more helpful and willingly helping the others since he now has no home to go to any more.
With Sakura:
With Clone!Sakura, at the start of the journey he treated her, much like he did with Clone!Syaoran and that he treated them much like a mother would treat their children, worrying about them and generally being caring. By Tokyo Arc and when the clone of Syaoran had taken his eye and left him for dead, this caused Fai to become much more closer to Sakura, and far more distant to the other traveling companions. The reason for this was because they were both suffering; Fai for having to live in this way; a way he didn't even ask for, more forced upon by Kurogane and Sakura with Syaoran leaving her to go and collect the feathers by himself, not taking her with him like she had wanted, but also because she had realized who she really was. Fai of course knew of Sakura's plans when they were in Infinity, but he never asked for more information about why. But during that time he agreed that he would help her like a loyal servant would to a princess, showing that through suffering they could understand each other more than the others.
With his brother Fai:
With his brother, Fai was very close to him because all they really had in that world was each other since others thought of them as cursed and the cause of a lot of misfortune. So Fai was close to his brother, even when they were told that one should kill the other, they didn't. Instead they held hands and ended up being taken to the tower for what should have been forever. When Fai was worried for Yuui, the same could be said for Yuui to Fai as shown when he would go as far as to use dead people's bodies to try and climb up.
Fai had been affected more than his brother, especially when the King killed himself in front of him, this was the start of the whole thing as seeing him down there, the way he was, that's not what his brother wanted. Fai's motives started the moment his brother died and was told that he could bring him back again if he did what the man wanted. This gave Fai a drive to want to live for now, for the moment his brother could possibly come back, although at the same time his way of thinking shows that he really doesn't try and live his life like he should, because of his brother and his past. Overall because of his past and the way Fai had been treated by others, especially with the death of his brother had caused Fai to actually believe that if people do get close to him, that bad things will happen. This was sunk in more when Ashura ended up killing the people of Celes and he blamed himself for what happened.
With Kurogane:
At the beginning Fai used his happy demeanor to annoy him, mainly because he loved to get a reaction out of him, but from time to time Fai would show a different side whenever Kurogane would bring up a subject he didn't want to talk about. It was one that was more serious and he would drop the act, if only for a brief moment before reverting back to his act. It has been noted that Kurogane was the only one who could see behind the fake smiles and the act, which was something that Fai didn't want anyone else to see at all, but he still rather enjoyed annoying the poor man.
When Fai had lost his eye, he had been ready to accept death, knowing that if he did the magic in his eye would go from the clone, but because of Kurogane making his wish and thus turning him into a vampire, Fai resented him for that. This also caused Fai to cut the bond that had been created. Fai had realized he'd crossed that line and became distant, even calling him by his real name to try and break it. Although after the Celes Arc and when they ended up in Nihon, Fai had learn to not throw away his life so easily, something he had learned from Kurogane. From that point on Fai had shown to actually start up with his old personality and reverted back to the nicknames once again, thus the bond they had before seemingly had returned.
Motives:
Fai's fake personality was really created when Ashura had taken him in and taught him something; that if you smile, even when you don't feel like it, it makes others feel better in a sense that a smile shows you're okay. Fai from then on would always put on a smile, fake it, to hide how he really was feeling underneath it all and no one really noticed the difference. Fai dwells on his past and that's what really makes him do what he does during the journey with the others, but it changes nearer the end and especially after the Cele's incident that he changed from being someone who did everything for this goal of possibly saving his brother, to someone who has learnt not only to take better care of ones self, but also to really not stay in the past and think of the present.
Samples
Action/Journal Sample:
What can you build with a couple pieces of wood, nails and a hammer?RP Sample:
Where had he landed? Where have the others gone? How did Mokona even know of this place? After all he didn't recognize it from their travels and that's all the places Mokona can go to. He had so many questions and very little number of answers. Standing in the middle of the street, Fai paused, quietly studying the area he was in. It appeared to be pretty busy, people going about thier lives and also there were some sort of creature roaming the streets.
They reminded him of Mokona in a way, except they were much larger and Mokona was a tiny bit cuter. It has taken him a couple of moments before he turned his head and noticed one of the Moogles standing right behind him, holding what appeared to be an odd little contraption and a key, but a key to where? Fai had no idea yet. Kneeling down to its level, he smiled, finally he could ask a question, any question and hope he got an answer.
"Hello, can you tell me where I am, please?"
Fai was unsure if this creature could understand the words coming from his mouth since Mokona wasn't here to translate his language to others, but his question was answered when the thing actually replied back to him.
"You're in Traverse Town, Kupo! You have come here because your world has been taken by darkness, Kupo!"
This surprised Fai. Last he checked he wasn't in a world; besides his home world, or worlds had been destroyed long before now, by his own hand to say the least. But hearing that many worlds are being taken by darkness had made him wonder, maybe the worlds they could travel to had the same problem, so he landed here instead, but that didn't explain about where his friends could be if not with him. During this thinking period the Moogle had once again tried to get his attention, "Mister, Kupo! I need to give you these, Kupo!"
Fai continued to kneel there, hands open as the Moogle gave what it needed to. The communicator and the key. "Thank you for this, I'm sure it will be very helpful." Fai smiled as the Moogle had gone away again. As he stood up, he glanced around before a smile passed by his face.
"Well, I best go find out where this key is from and to find out more about this Traverse Town."
He stretched his arms above his head for a moment, before starting to walk towards a perfectly lit street, hoping to either find his traveling companions or any information that there was about this place.
Notes:
Considering the fact that I can't find that many icons of Fai in his new appearance most of his icons will have his short hair, but really he has long hair.
Also can capping of powers be shown in one way or another? Like when Fai had that tattoo that he got from Ashura? Or is it just something you can sense or won't know until you try?
