IC INFO:
Character name: Flynn Scifo
Fandom: Tales of Vesperia
Age: 21
Appearance: An image to cover anything I may miss!
Flynn is pretty much the epitome of a 'proper knight' in appearance. His first impression is one of a clean and well-groomed young man, with honest, bright blue eyes and short blond hair kept trimmed and tidy, though it does have the bad habit of sticking up in the back. He stands at about 5'11", with a lean but likely muscular build and good posture thanks to his years spent in service of the military. All we ever see Flynn wear is his military uniform, which consists of silver armor and a tunic in shades of blue and white with accents in black and gold. Plus an awesome cape. Despite the almost clunky appearance of the armor, Flynn moves very easily and comfortably in it.
Canon point: Post-game.
Cause of Death: Assassination by an unknown force.
Abilities:
- Swordsmanship: Self-explanatory. Taught to him by knights and employs both a sword and shield.
- Sword artes: Special sword techniques known as 'artes' that add an extra kick to a normal attacks.
- Light artes: Magic spells of a light-element variety.
- Healing artes: One very basic healing spell, capable of healing a single person's mild injuries.
Background: Flynn's background is touched on fairly lightly in canon, but there's not much to it anyway. What is revealed is that he grew up spending most of his time in the Lower Quarters of the capital city of Zaphias, comparable to a big city's slums in terms of living conditions, alongside his best friend Yuri Lowell. The two were said to be inseparable as children and did nearly everything together; despite the differences in their attitudes and methods, they shared a very strong interest in changing the world around them for the better. After experiencing the rough life of the citizens in the Lower Quarter, the two decided to join the Imperial Knights in the hopes of being able to accomplish their goals.
Things... didn't quite work out from there. Changing the world turned out to be harder than they both realized and witnessing the corruption taking place around them without any direct means to stop them proved to be too frustrating for Yuri. He quit the knights shortly after, but Flynn insisted upon staying with them. He continued his service within the knights, intent on changing the system from within, and began the long climb up through the ranks to reach a position where he could truly change things for the better.
Personality: Essentially, Flynn is a Good Guy. He follows the law, works hard, and lends a hand to those in need. He has a humbleness to him and an unwavering loyalty and belief in his friends, even when they’re off wrecking who knows what kind of havoc. He’s also very serious about his job and ideals, and his passion and dedication to serving the empire and its people as an Imperial Knight are second to none. When presented with a goal to reach that will help the people, he won't rest until he's seen it through to the end.
Flynn's enforcement of the law can be overly strict at times; even in the face of corruption and injustice, Flynn will err toward the side of the law and follow regulations, however unfair or unjust they may be. He is also fully willing to enforce the law no matter what the extenuating circumstances are; "a crime is a crime," after all. But in spite of his repeated exposures to the corrupt sides of the law, he remains an idealist and focuses himself on addressing the problems of the world from the inside out. If the law is unfair, then he believes that the law itself is what needs to be fixed, and to do that it must be addressed at its core.
Though Flynn’s dedication to his job takes up most of his time and thoughts, he hasn’t completely turned into a stiff workaholic. While he keeps up a professional and formal air around him whenever on duty, he’s still quite capable of relaxing himself off the clock: bantering with his friends and engaging in a friendly match or two come easily to him. He worries about his friends, particularly Yuri who has a tendency to get into mischief, and does what he can to help them; though he never breaks the law to assist them at several points in the storyline, he does bend it a little here and there to help.

1st Person Sample:
Please excuse me for the interruption, but I request your immediate attention.
I understand that we have all been brought here in order to play a game in which the reward is a... return to our previous lives. It is my understanding that a total of 52 different tags must be collected by each person in order to win and return, and the common method to receive tags is from one another through aggressive means. However, I don’t believe that to be our only method.
What I propose a peaceful exchange of tags between those interested; the number of tags within play undoubtedly outnumber the number of tags required to leave, so by exchanging tags between ourselves we have available a peaceful option in order to receive tags you do not already have.
Please contact me if you’re interested in setting up an exchange and I will do my best to accommodate you. I thank you for your time.

IC Character Survey:
1. Do you have any nicknames, street names, titles, or aliases?
I currently hold the title of Commandant of the Imperial Knights. Other than that, though, I don't believe I have any others.
2. What is your full birth name?
Flynn Scifo.
3. Where do you live?
At the moment, I reside in the capital city of Zaphias.
4. Give a two or three word description of yourself.
An Imperial Knight.
5. What do you perceive as your greatest strength?
I find my strength in the support of the people around me.
6. What do you perceive as your greatest weakness?
I have been told that I take things too seriously at times.
7. Do you have any dreams or ambitions? What are they? If not, why?
For the world and the people in it to one day be able to live peacefully and equally.
8. How would you like to be remembered after your death?
I don’t need to be remembered specifically, but I would hope the deeds I have done would not be soon forgotten.
9. If your features were to be destroyed beyond recognition, is there any other way of identifying your body?
What sort of question... By my armor and blade, perhaps? Though they are standard for all knights, so perhaps not...
10. Do you, or did you, have any role models?
Not any singular person in particular, but I have always thought the teachings and standards of the Imperial Knights to be inspiring.
11. How do you generally treat others?
With respect and courtesy.
12. Do you trust easily (perhaps too easily) or not?
I would like to believe that every person is trustworthy, but it is true that sometimes that trust can be misplaced.
13. Do you act differently than you feel (concealing your true thoughts)?
No, it’s much better to be honest with your feelings.
14. What habits would you find most annoying in friends?
It's difficult to pick just one... but I would say the habit of recklessly charging into things without a second thought for the consequences.
15. How do others typically react to you? Why, in your opinion, do they act that way?
In salutes, typically, which are recognized as the standard greeting between knights. I couldn’t really say about outside of the knights though...
16. Do you like food mild or heavily spiced?
Hmm... Heavily spiced food would mean it tastes better because there's more flavor to it, wouldn't it? But I don't have very much of a preference either way.
17. Are there any specific foodstuffs that you find disgusting or refuse to eat?
Not at all. It would be bad practice to waste food, so long as it’s edible.
18. If you have a favorite scent, what is it?
A scent? Well... Fresh air is always nice, I suppose...
19. Do you believe in god(s) or not?
I don't have any particular reason to, nor do I have any reason not to.
20. Can you kill?
If the circumstances call for it, yes.
