Character: Serph.
Series:
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga.
Character Age: Physically around 17-20 years old.
Canon: Basically, Digital Devil Saga takes places in the Junkyard, a battlefield where it always rains, animals and plants are non-existent, and six emotionless tribes fight against each others with the goal of reaching Nirvana, something which was shaken up a bit when they all spontaneously became demon cannibals and developed emotions. A nice, G-rated setting, right?
Serph is the leader of the Embryon Tribe. He’s a silent protagonist but shows his emotions clearly, is extremely protective of his comrades and kind of a dork sometimes. He has two different dialogue choices, the serious one (always very thoughtful, almost philosophical) and the retard one (for example, when one of his comrades worries that a portrait in a castle looks like someone they know, he forgets the portrait but remembers how cute a nearby statue of a fairy was). Despite Serph being silent, everyone seems to understand him from just a glance. And although he has a slight dislike towards violence and is occasionally reluctant to hurt others, he'll certainly do whatever's necessary and shows no hesitation in devouring others for food. His loyalty to his comrades always comes first though, and Serph is slowly developing a romantic relationship with a girl called Sera. It's not physical yet, which is probably a good thing since Junkyard cannibals seem to get sex and devouring people confused a lot.
In short; he will eat when he needs to eat and that means all of you are on the menu. Except if you get on his good side, then you’re his comrade and you will be safe for life. Or you get your money back.

. . . ?
The sky is blue. Is this Nirvana? I don’t see any rain, and it doesn’t feel like the Junkyard either. The view is nice, and it’s greener. So different from the Junkyard! I have to focus on finding my comrades right now. No luck yet… I’m worried that they aren’t here after all, but I have a few hours left before I must start worrying about the hunger. I still must try. I’m their leader; they might be in trouble if they’re here. What if Heat’s overeaten and can’t move? Is Sera here too? Has she gotten kidnapped again? I can’t fail them now!
I quite like this place though. Especially that large amount of water over there; it seems like a beach without the sand. If there were enough time… but it’d better to come back here once I find my comrades and then play here with everyone. Some of them might yell at me if they find out I was goofing off after all. Still, I wonder where I am. What a ‘camp’ is, exactly? By the name alone it doesn’t sounds like a bad thing, even if I don’t know what it is. My problems seem to be lesser now though, since I see some buildings not far away from here… I should go and get an explanation or clues about my comrades’ whereabouts. I can always trade any of my belongings in exchange of information.
What are those… purple creatures? Animals? They certainly look like better food than the half-dead creatures I saw earlier (I had to interrupt them while they were busy chewing on someone, and for some reason they got upset and attacked me. I’d only wanted to ask what a ‘camp’ is, however. A shame I had to eat them before finding out). So if they attack me too while I’m passing through, it also should be safe to eat them. They’re large but overall look harmless compared to what I’m used to fighting against. At least they’re fast despite their weak appearance, not like the former ones.
Except… this is not an attack, is it? Is it a hug, like Sera's given me before? Perhaps it’s a greeting. Yes, it is; now more are trying to hug me as well. Should I embrace them back? I don’t wish to upset them. But it is really necessary to touch my legs and chest like that? I understand; you’re using this as a form of intimacy and trust between members of your tribe. And what is that transparent-plastic thing? For protection? It’s not necessary, I can protect myself… If you insist I can keep them.
... I'm hungry. They don't seem to want to stop touching me, and my hunger is only growing stronger due to it. I'll revise my plans... I can look for my comrades after this.
Right now, I must eat.
