Character Info
Character's Name: Henry
Character's Canon: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Character's Age: Unstated, but I estimate 17-ish
Canon Point: After the Lucina reveal but before any other kids are recruited
Background/History: here's his wiki page!
Strengths:
Willpower: His sunny disposition is nigh-unflappable, and he's pretty near impossible to disturb or intimidate or upset. He's usually the one doing those things, actually. He even suggests this is why his curses are so effective in his support conversations with Sully; if the person he's trying to curse has a stronger will than him, the curse won't work. And generally they almost always work. This could also extend to his own durability as a fighter--he's very hard to kill.
Sincerity: According to him, he's never told a lie in his life (aside from his jokes), and his genuine desire to help people out is his major saving grace in the face of all the creepy shit he likes to get up to (see the next bit). This is probably also part of what gives him so much skill in magic (according to Tharja). This is also why he can be so blunt. He's also insistent that his off-putting cheer and morbid sense of humor isn't an affectation in the slightest, for better or worse. He really is just like that; simultaneously a creepy weirdo and a pure soul.
Compassion: Henry can actually be very thoughtful and compassionate, despite impressions--even if he doesn't necessarily go about it the right way, he'll go out of his way to do favors or try to cheer up people he cares about without being asked. He asks Cordelia to go shopping with him to snap her out of her depression, he conjures illusions for Nowi to play with, he casts spells to help Lissa sleep, he offers Maribelle the guarantee of a painless death (look, he meant well). And when these things don't work the way he intended them to, he changes tacks immediately, because his goal really is to help his friends, not to show off his magic. He genuinely cares about being helpful! And according to the epilogues, he makes a "surprisingly good" father.
Weaknesses:
Lack of empathy: Henry was apparently abandoned by his parents in the woods as a child and only survived due to being taken in by the local wildlife. As a result he relates more easily to animals than people, which seems to be reciprocated, and has difficulty understanding other people's priorities. In particular, he comes off as very amoral by most standards, and doesn't seem to understand the value of human life. He also has difficulty socializing and expressing himself--he actually has to be taught how to frown--and often missteps in trying to cheer up his friends due to misunderstanding why they're feeling the way they are. By missteps, I mean he casually offers to commit mass murder on their behalf.
Fear of abandonment: Being abandoned by his parents has given him something of a complex as an adult, and he's displayed very clingy behavior on a number of occasions. When Panne deigns to give him the time of day he apparently takes that as permission to literally follow her around forever and reacts with childlike panic when she's understandably put off by this. He's also exhibited an impulse for reacting with extreme violence when people he cares about are hurt. As in: if a friend of his is killed, he will go on a bloody warpath.
Recklessness: Henry does not fear death and apparently desires a particularly grisly one when it has to happen. In addition, he takes some enjoyment from killing, so this means he tends to wade right into a battle without considering how squishy he is. In fact, he's completely failed to notice being seriously injured on occasion. Oddly enough, though, he does not enjoy pain, and prefers to avoid it as much as possible (as well as spare those he cares about if he can). This may or may not be due to trauma from the orphanage/magic school/whatever that he was dumped at.
Powers/Abilities: Henry is a dark mage, meaning he can cast non-elemental curses and hexes and the like. These are just as spoopy as they sound, and frequently require some sort of animal sacrifice or a body part from the intended target--which can be a strand of hair, but Henry has made jokes ("jokes") about needing internal organs or limbs as well, and other spells have required him to kill birds. How magic works isn't really well-defined because it's meant just as a category of combat in a tactics game, but outside of battle (i.e. in support conversations) Henry has accomplished things like switching bodies or temporarily reversing time. He's also particularly skilled at deflecting curses placed on him. I'll be using my own best judgment in determining his limits on a case by case basis in-game, but please let me know if anything needs to be clarified.
Other Noteworthy Traits: He apparently has some "nerve damage" that gives him a high level of pain tolerance to the point where he may not notice if he is grievously injured. Also, he can apparently communicate with animals and plants. It's not entirely clear whether this is actually true or he's just nutty.
Weapons & Other Special Inventory: He'll have a magic tome on his person, and while he doesn't explicitly have pet crows they do tend to follow him around and it would be neat if one or two came with him for funsies!
Color: Blood red or something close to it would be perfect, as he has a fascination with the macabre. Very dark or very light blue would also work since they can be associated with concepts like loneliness or purity (and his eyes have been drawn as a very light blue).
Sample: here!
[ OPTIONAL ] World Aspect: Risen could be fun! They're essentially zombies, and they exist because of Grima's reign of terror in the Days of Future Past bad end alternate future, but it'd probably be easy to make them fit the town.
