Player Name: Zorn
Player Pronouns: he/him
Player Contact: zornsable
Player intro: Just some dude who draws sometimes and likes villains way too much.

Character Name: Barnabas Tharmr
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI
Vibes: Barnabas definitely has some dark and foreboding vibes, a little wretched if I'm to be honest. He's aloof and quiet, soft spoken and reserved, and has a Norwegian accent! Though he isn't one to talk over much. Certainly the brooding, aloof, mysterious type, and if I were to liken him to a Western character archetype, he'd be the Samurai Cowboy. Look, his sword is called Zantetsuken, he rides the only horse that exists in his world, they knew what they were doing when they designed him.
Memories: Barnabas mostly remembers how to train animals and ride horses (but I'm mean so he doesn't remember what horses are called), he also remembers his combat skills, that he's immortal, a man named Cidolfus and some vague things about him, and that he's a king through conquest and not lineage.
Initial Plans: It's inconvenient, that's for certain. However, Barnabas isn't exactly in tune with his emotions, so he won't feel much about this situation. He will be trying to figure out what this all means, and why he's here though! He's definitely a guy who tries to solve problems and unravel mysteries. Big picture type things, less so interpersonal...
Anything else?:

[sighsheavily]

he also remembers NOT BEING POLITE TO LADIES

[odinpusrex]

HEY—

Okay, he isn't really polite to anyone? But I will have you know his is the only nation who has women holding military positions and stuff. Certainly that makes up for his lack of manners...??? #Feminist

[livingarmor]

This dude sounds fascinating and I need to know more about the One Horse??? That is his??? that's phenomenal

[odinpusrex]

LAIOS MY BOY.

Ok so basically you know how Final Fantasy has chocobos? Well, since that's their mounts, they don't really have horses. At all. Except for him. He magically created his own horse which has 6 legs... His name is Sleipnir, since he embodies Odin (just Final Fantasy nonsense). Anyway, I think him and Laios will be interesting, especially since they kinda share an interest in monsters, and Barnabas keeps interesting pets.

[livingarmor]

Wow 10/10 commitment to the cowboy vibe, had to make a whole horse about it, you love to see it

Truly can't wait to see how they vibe with each other considering that, I'm imagining something along the lines of a slightly chiller version of this

[odinpusrex]

When you need a specific vibe, but the animal doesn't exist, so you make it exist. I respect his game.

Oh god, yeah that's pretty much. It. Both weirdos who aren't the best with people and prefer monsters, certainly nothing can go wrong.

Hi, and welcome to the game!

[odinpusrex]

Hello and thanks!! Happy to be here.

[andreadallover]

I'm dying, I don't final fantasy so I had no idea about the horse thing when I tagged him

[odinpusrex]

THAT'S SO FUNNY!! When you tagged me I was sitting there like... do they know? Are they aware they just tagged a final fantasy Horseboy??? This is so delightful.

[andreadallover]

lmao I HAD NO CLUE I just thought it'd be hilarious to tag a king with mr. "partly responsible for a revolutionary movement" here

[odinpusrex]

When you accidentally do something way funnier.

Honestly it works, cuz Barnabas is a king that opposes the established order of the realm and is seen as a villain by most the other monarchs because of his own revolutionary war. Little do they know he's a villain for a way more legit reason, but still!

[andreadallover]

smh, other monarchs being right for the wrong reasons

młynar's whole thing at this point in his life is like...

młynar: don't let the fact that I fucking hate the capitalist oligarchy that viciously exploits the people distract you from the fact that I ALSO fucking hate the institution of the aristocracy which viciously exploits the people
someone else: młynar you're a noble
młynar: and I suck. your point?

[odinpusrex]

LMFAO that's entirely legit, mlynar.

Meanwhile, Barnabas wasn't born into royalty, he became a king through conquest. Just a traumatized religious villager with a fragment of a higher being's power freshly awoken in him going on a 16 year conquest spurred by the bloody aftermath of religious persecution, nbd. What's a little war and absolute monarchy for the sake of changing the world, right? Just ignore that he was replacing one system of oppression with a new one.

[andreadallover]

I feel like there might have been some flaws in your logic there Barnabus...

I'm excited to see how these two end up interacting! especially if Barnabus remembers the horse, lmao

[odinpusrex]

Look, when you got "god" in your brain, logic isn't really what matters.

I am too! Barnabas doesn't fully remember that he created a horse, but he knows he likes them and can ride them...

[andreadallover]

wow Barnabus at least buy a horse dinner first

[odinpusrex]

He always takes very well care of his horses, don't you worry!
