Fandom: Tales of the Abyss

Permissions Post: Here.
Character Inventory:
-Dis is a gun
-An apple gel
Abilities: First and foremost, Guy is an excellent swordsman. He fights using the Sigmund style, a style that emphasizes speed over power, using his sword in his right hand and the sheath in his left as sort of a shield/blunt force trauma object. He’s very fast and agile and has excellent reflexes in and out of battle. His techniques are called ‘artes’ and come in physical and quasi-magical (‘arcane artes’), which are physical attacks combined with high concentrations of elemental fonons
Here is a list of all the artes that Guy is capable of learning.
The following list is the artes that he would likely know by his canon point.
Artes
Demon Fang
Cresent Strike
Tempest
Void Tempest
Center
Tiger Blade
Moonlight Demon
Guardian
Demonic Void
Demonic Tiger Blade
Arcane Artes
Infernal Torrent: Demon Fang + a source of fire
Frigid Moon: Crescent Strike + a source of water/dark magic
Focus: Center + source of dark magic
Dragon Tempest: Void Tempest + a source of wind
Wyrm Wrath: Tiger Blade + source of dark magic
Also, as a servant, Guy knows how to do basic household chores like cleaning and general upkeep, and is a decent enough cook. He’s as good at fixing and operating machinery as he is obsessed with the stuff, although he has to have some idea of what he’s dealing with does before he can actually do anything with it. He has training in maritime rescue, though how much is questionable as it’s not a skill he’s shown using to a great extent (read: ever).

Hidden Currents (Guy’s info is in the ‘Character Info’ section)
Personality Description: Guy is...sort of complicated. Not the layered kind of complicated with a mean outside and a squishy inside or the weird complicated, just...kind of complicated.
His personality as a child is more hinted at than explicitly shown, but according to Guy himself he was a very shy and quiet kid, teased fairly regularly for not being very ‘manly’. He’s fairly knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects as an adult, so it’s not too far of a stretch to assume that he was a reasonably intelligent child. Sometime after the massacre of his family, he becomes bitter and vengeful--towards Duke Fabre and his family primarily, as the Duke was the one that lead the attack on his estate. Of course, while he hates the Fabre clan, he can’t show outward hatred or hostility towards the members while he’s employed by them, regardless of how much he wants to, so he at least starts pretending he doesn’t hate them.
It’s hard to imagine the Guy that most people see as that same child—the unhappy, revenge-minded one--but inside, he mostly is. On the outside, he’s easygoing and cheerful, if slightly ditzy-seeming. He’s charismatic--enough that a decent portion of the Fabre household maids (as well as several other women) are attracted to him--polite, and humble.
Guy’s not a leader by any means, partly due to his occupation as a servant and partly due to the fact that he’s just not very commanding. Again, he was a reserved child, so it’s easier for him to follow rather than lead to begin with, and working several years as a servant strengthened that. He tends to default to the opinions of others, sometimes expressing dislike or skepticism for a plan or course of action, but doesn’t often try to take charge of anything. Guy also has trouble refusing most requests made of him. He might complain a little about the task if it’s time-consuming or out of his way, but if it’s within his abilities he’ll probably do it anyway.
A trait he developed by living in the Fabre household was a sort of ‘older brother’ attitude. Mostly towards Luke, who started out as an enemy, then became a sort-of friend. The original Luke, anyway. The replica Luke was both of those automatically, but also became a sort of son that Guy never wanted.
Since it was Guy’s duty to act as Luke’s playmate/friend/babysitter of sorts, the task of dealing with the ‘amnesic’ Luke fell primarily on him, forcing Guy to, as a teenager, essentially help raise a child who he really didn’t like in the first place.
But Guy ended up getting attached to Luke and protective of him the more time he spent with him. He doesn’t consider Luke a son, since they’re so close in age, but he does acknowledge that the relationship is sort of like that, even if Luke doesn’t. The protective attitude extends to the rest of the party Guy travels with, with the exception of Jade and the girls, who Guy cares for but keeps a safe distance from.
This is where we get into the subject of Guy’s severe gynophobia. He has no issue talking to or seeing women--he mentions several times that he ‘likes looking at women’--but if they get too close to him or try to touch him, he freaks out. Spectacularly. It’s revealed later that this fear stems from the death of his family, when he ended up buried in the corpses of his sister and most of the household’s female servants. That memory was suppressed and became an unexplainable phobia. To his dismay, a lot of women see his phobia as just nervousness, finding it adorable whenever he gets flustered around them.
Another quirk of Guy’s is his obsession--and skill with--machinery of all types. He loves fon technology especially; his bedroom is littered with bits and pieces of stuff he’s taken apart and put partially back together and he gets excited when he and the main party find ancient technology or travel to anywhere that’s associated with it, such as Belkend and Yulia City. He also has a strong desire to pilot the Albiore--his world’s answer to the airplane--though it’s unclear whether or not he actually has the skill to do so. However, he is shown begging one of the pilots, but the outcome is unknown.
As mentioned above, Guy is sort of ditzy-acting, apparently not taking a lot too seriously and frequently teasing his friends or joking around to diffuse tense situations. This isn’t entirely an act, but he usually knows or notices a lot more than he lets on. In order to avoid questions or to shrug off suspicion, he’s become very good at pretending not to know what’s going on, lying, or successfully changing the subject to something else entirely. However, if he knows something interesting that isn’t likely to cause some sort of problem, he’s more than happy to share it with the class.
However, he doesn’t particularly like being made to explain things. Jade does it as a form of teasing, either to poke fun at Guy’s knowledge base, or simply to continue his image of having the younger members of the party do things for him. Possibly both.
Also, while he usually acts cheerful and not-so-serious, he’s very capable of anger. And unfortunately, he’s the kind of person who suppresses anger and doesn’t make it too visible, so he sometimes appears to flip directly from ‘happy’ to ‘rage’ very quickly. Interestingly, he does tend to show when he’s upset more easily, becoming cold and quiet, passive-aggressive if forced to interact with people.
Third Person Sample: Action brackets? Action brackets!
First Person Sample: This is so cool. Is it a computer? It’s so small...
[Guy likes his tiny computer, yes he does. And there’s no real reason he’s sharing that with everyone, other than the fact that he has started recording and doesn’t know it yet. He’ll figure it out…]
Ahah...I didn’t know it was recording. [About now. Before, the camera was showing his feet, and now it shows his face, still looking excited] So I guess I’m not the only one who’s ended up here inexplicably, if there’s a pre-recorded message waiting for me. [He looks briefly concerned, possibly about said message, but the expression goes back to...well, neutral-content, at least.]
If anyone’s listening, any information on how exactly I got here, or where ‘here’ even is would be great. I haven’t seen all of Auldrant, but I don’t recall ever seeing a building like this anywhere in it. My name’s Guy, thanks in advance!
