Biography:
Yuri was born and raised in the lower quarter of Zaphias, the Imperial Capital of Terca Lumireis. As a kid, he made friends with another boy there called Flynn Scifo. They had shared a lot of things when they were little, their first sword, food, and were constantly practicing fighting and having competitions, where Yuri would always lose.
When he was seventeen, he joined the Imperial Knights and was sent off to Shinzontania, with his friend Flynn Scifo. There, they both had been assigned to the Nylen Corps, with Hisca Aiheap as his supervisor. They aided Captain Nylen in protecting the town and going on missions to destroy monsters that were getting out of control. Though Yuri seemed to respect Nylen and what he was doing, he was very impulsive and tended to do things his own way, getting in trouble with practically everyone, mostly the guilds and his friend Flynn, whom they seemed to do nothing but argue.
After a shift change, Hisca invites them to a pub to eat, where the town's guild is currently eating. Yuri picks a fight with them once he realizes that they were abusing their work and not really helping the citizens. Melzohm, the leader of the guild, finally stepped in after Yuri and Flynn-who joined in afterwards-defeated practically everyone in the group. Melzohm has a quick word with Yuri who manages to slip out information about the knights, causing him to be forcefully dragged out of the bar by the other three knights. Yuri gets bandaged up from the fight by Hisca and Flynn and Yuri manage to have another argument about how Flynn moved away and Yuri knew his father, whom he liked and envied, since he never had parents. After a quick lecture by Nylen, Yuri is ordered to take care of the dogs, Lambert and his son (The cutest thing in existence) Repede.
After Flynn leaves to go to a gathering Hisca and Yuri hear of an attack by an aer monster close to the barrier. Yuri runs off to help, rescuing a girl that was in a carriage with the help of Lambert. The guilds lead off the rest of the monsters but Yuri follows them when Lambert and the other dogs go into the forest, Hisca, Melzohm and a few others follow as well. They meet with Lambert but he is controlled by the aer monster and Yuri freezes up for a moment before it goes for Hisca, where he charges at Lambert, killing him. He takes it upon himself after to take care of Repede, staying with him during the night in the stables, not leaving even after Nylen says so.
When Flynn arrives, they have an argument, not realizing what either their missions had gotten them and ended up in a fistfight to be handed over to Nylen once again. Yuri shouts out that they should help the town and fight, while Flynn insist they stay and wait for reinforcements.
They enter the castle, Yuri wishing to avenge Lambert as he joins the main force. They fight their way through, Yuri almost falling to his death, defeating a huge golem and running from a rock, and finally make it to the room where Nylen stops the machine that was causing the problem. This however triggered a self destruct system and Nylen got caught into it, falling. Yuri yells at him to grab a hold of an axe, trying to save him as best as he could but Nylen refused to move, showing the wound he received from the aer monster. Yuri refuses to give up and insists they can fix it, trying hard to save the captain but he orders them out, telling Yuri to save those he can, giving him his bodhi blastia. The castle explodes and they go back to the city.
At the funeral, Yuri asks Flynn if he really felt that the captain left anything behind, if his father really did leave anything behind, trying to show that the town was saved due to Nylen's efforts. He punches a noble for stating that Nylen was a fool, yelling at him for thinking like that. As they salute, Flynn explains it's not over and Yuri helps him get the evidence that is needed to put Garista away. Yuri helps fight him as he explains why he had like the machine stay on and Yuri uses Nylens blastia with Flynn to blind the strategist and Yuri kills him. At the end, Yuri quits the knights, bringing Repede with him, talking with Flynn as he leaves Shinzontania, he smiles as he tells Flynn what he's going to do, feelign bad that he's leaving most of it to Flynn. They part ways, friends again.
Not much is known what Yuri does for the next four years but he goes back to Zaphias and lives in the inn, helping to run errands, fight off the knights and in general, protect the lower quarter from anythign that he can. He winds up in jail a lot and seems to still be on good terms with Flynn
During the first part of the game, Yuri sets out to find a blastia core thief that had stolen from the lower quarter their aque blastia. Getting placed in jail for breaking into a nobles house he meets Raven in jail, where he tells the location of Aspio and helps Yuri escape by giving him a key. He meet sup with the princess Estelle as it looked like she as being kidnappped by guards and she mentions she's a friend of Flynn's and that she needs help finding him. Yuri agrees to help her out and find that Flynn is on a pilgrimage so they go off to find him, fighting a psycho named Zagi who mistakes him for Flynn as they leave.
Yuri gives Estellise the nickname Estelle as they head offf to Halure with Repede (who is still adorable), stopping along the way at Deidon Hold to help out people that were going to be trampled by monsters, almost getting hired by the guild Fortunes Market and then going through a supposed cursed woods where Estelle faints from a blastia. Almost exiting the woods they come across Karol and Yuri lets him follow them to Halure. There, Yuri decides to heal the tree with the help of Karol when they hear it's dying and they go back to defeat an eggebear. They also hear knights following Yuri but he deviates them away from their trail for a moment. Estelle fixes the tree and Yuri notices people watching them so he gets them to leave and head for Aspio to get the blastia thief.
At Aspio, the group break in through a side entrance and Yuri goes to Mordio's place, breaking into there as well. When he meets Rita he demands that she hands over the aqe blastia, not trusting her. Not knowing what was going on, Rita gets Yuri adn the others to follow her to the supposed real culprits, where Flynn might be as well. Yuri gains information on the core thieves and kinda apologizes to Rita for accusing her, she joins with them and Yuri decides to go to Halure, then to Nor to get to Torim for the core thieves. Going through Ehmead Hill they come across the ocean, Yuri realizing that he did live in a small world and that catching up to Flynn wasn't going to be easy.
They arrived at Nor where Yuri knocks some sense into a couple, hearing that their son was taken. He follows some red eyes and fight them, being aided by Flynn who yells at him soon after for being a wanted criminal now. Yuri shrugs him off and lets Estelle drag him off. When they meet the two again, Yuri and Flynn fight slightly, moreso when Sodia shows up and Yuri decides to get the horn of a monster to help out the family, getting into another argument with Flynn as he leaves. He gives the horn to the family and they break into Ragous palace when they hear it might be causing the werid weather, so that Yuri can let Flynn come in to investigate by causing a disturbance. Yuri finds out what Ragous been up to and they chase him out of his house to his ship, where they fight Barbos and Zagi. Yuri rescues Ioder when he hears his cry for help as the ship is on fire and sinks. As Ragou gets away in Torim harbour, Flynn and Yuri have another fight where Yuri leaves after knowing that nothing has changed since he has left the knights.
Yuri decides to go to Caer Bocram, hearing that the core theives might've gone there but no such luck and they get arrested by Cumore and wind up in Heliord. There, Yuri is interrogated before being let go from his crimes by Alexei. Karol asks Yuri if he wants to join a guild and he thinks it's a good idea. He then gets suckered into escorting Estelle to Dahngrest and Keiv Moc.
At Dahngrest, Yuri meets Flynn there and bails him out of jail when he has been fasley accused of trying to kill the Don, and he takes his place in jail. The Don springs him and tells him to find the person who really wrote that note
He follows Barbos with the help of the dragon rider but he manages to apprehend them and Yuri gets thrown in a dungeon, finding out the dragon rider is a girl, called Judy and she helps him spring out by causing a riot. They join forces to go to the top of the tower again and meet up with everyone else. Getting to the top, they fight Barbos, telling Yuri that he may be great but he will make terrible enemies and he looks forward to seeing in hell. Yuri tries to save him from falling and they leave when he dies. They hear Ragou has been arrested but Yuri becomes angry when he hears that they are doing nothing really to punish him. He goes to see Flynn and they talk, finding out that he's Captain now and nothign can be done about Ragou. Yuri leaves Flynn, and kills Ragou in the dead of night, throwing him in the water.
Yuri wakes up to the townbeing under attacked by a large monster and gets Estelle to continue her journey, pissin off Flynn before he hands over the aque blastia. The group runs off to Heliord, deciding to make the guild right there, Estelle giving the name Brave Vesperia and Yuri gives the title Boss to Karol. Then they go to Heliord where they find out that Cumore is mistreating peopel so he could build the town and they intervene, fighting Yeager and running away when Flynn shows up.
They go to Torim, find a ship, go through an haunted ship and wind up in Nordopolica where they can' deliver Don's letter to Belius and a man named Regaey asks for their help. Yuri enters the coliseum to find out they've been had when Flynn is there to fight. Exchanging information, they fight against Zagi and then chase after Regaey when they steal the box from the haunted ship. They go through the Wesand of Cados, and go to Mantaic, where they find that the citizens there were being mistreated by Cumore, being sent out to find Phaeroh, the monster Estelle wants to find. Yuri promises to two children that they will find their parents and set out for the desert, finding a ctrangemonster and collasping from the heat after they defeat it.
Yuri wakes up in Yormgen and tafter a meeting with Duke, go back to Mantaic where they find Cumore abusing the citizens still. Yuri, resolved to put an end to it, wakes Cumore up in the middle of the night to kill him and watches him fall to his death in a sandpit. Flynn shows up, saying that they needed to talk and they once again, have a heated argument where it looks like Flynn tries to use force on him before it's interuppted by Sodia. Estelle comes out from the bushes after hearing everything and accepts what he's done, knowing that she might be killed if she deserved it by his hand.
Back to Nordopolica where they meet Belius and immediately have to fight her when Estelle uses her powers, killing her they receive her apatheia. While Estelle is distraught by having helped kill her, Yuri runs over and slices his arm which she heals right away. He states her power is to heal and that it save him, getting her act togther, they flee to the boats as the knights swarm the city. Flynn gets in their way and wants them to hand over the apatheia they just received. Yuri yells at him, saying he's blindly following orders, and becoming like Ragou and Cumore. Flynn asks if Yuri would kill him if he was like that, revealing to everyone that Yuri had killed Ragou and Cumore. He says he would and before Flynn makes a move, Yuri gives him a look and they flee to their boat, in which Judy runs off after destorying the blastia that moved the ship. Yuri confronts everyone there, sayin ghe holds no regrets, Karol is confused while Raven is rather accepting, Rita doesn't care and Estelle already knew so things move on as they go back to see the Don to give the apatheia to him.
Reaching Dahngrest to find no Don, they find out that he left to the Manor of the Wicked and follow suit. Once there, they realize Don went to confront Yeager and almost killed him before he escaped. Yuri gives him the apatheia and tries to ask questions about it before they have to leave again. And arriving back at Dahngrest, they find out that the Don is goign to kill himself to make things even among the guilds. He asks for a second and Yuri agrees to it, cutting off the Don's head, before going with Rita and Estelle to the meeting room. When tings calm down, Yuri searches for Karol, telling him to stand up and stop crying over the things he can't do, to have more resolve and that he was going to find Judy , even if he wasn't coming. When they leave, Karol dos come back and Yuri welcomes him back, making sure to keep with Karol's wishes.
Reaching Mt. Temza, they discover an old Krytian city, finding Judy in the process. Yuri states based on her actions whether or not he will rain justice on her, surprising everyone. He believes that 'if the arm is infected, you caught it off', no matter who it was. Though, once Ba;ul evolves and takes them to see Phaeroh, he casts that aside and believes that they can help Estelle from not harming the world. That it's their responsibility to see things through and manages to convince Phaeroh to give them time to fix it. Saying to go to Myorzo for more information on what is going on.
Myorzo Yuri finds ot what the Child of the Full Moon is and Estelle runs off. As they dicuss what to do, Raven leaves as well. When they both aren't to be found, Yuri and the others head for the source where Ba'ul said they landed, finding Duke and Alexei there in yormgen. Yuri tries to fight but Yeager and his goons get in the way and Flynn shows up. When Alexei leaves along with Yeager, Yuri yells at Flynn for being blind from Alexeis real intentions and for not rescuing Estelle. He promises to get Estelle back, telling Flynn to get Ioder. For now, they head to where Alexei was going, the Shrine of Baction.
When they reach the Shrine of Baction, they find out that Raven is Schwann and they fight. Yuri delivers a blow to Raven revealing his blastia heart. As Raven tries to accept his death, Yuri shakes him and demands he snaps out of it. Raven does and helps them escape, getting trapped in the shrine all the while. As Karol and Rita mourn, Yuri pushes them onward, saying that Estelle need rescuing, he shrugs off Judy's comment of doing a job nobody wants and leave to follow the Heracles. ...Finding Raven there alive and well. Raven tells Yuri to end it and h merely punches Raven, declaring his life belongs to Brave Vesperia, forgiving him for what he's done. They fight Zagi in the control room where they find out a canon is going to fire at Zaphias. Sodia shows up, exclaiming that Yuri isn't right for the Captain and to back off, Yuri shurgs it off as well and uses Dein Nomos that Duke gave him to disipate the aer and to stop the canon, unfortunately it hits someplace else but Zaphias is safe.
Now the group is off to Zaphias to rescue Estelle! But as they reach the Sword Stair with Ba'ul, and Yuri tries to jump over and get her away from Alexei, Alexei uses her power to blow Yuri away as well as the rest of the group. Not before Estelle tells Yuri to kill her. They collaspe near Nor, badly wounded so they walk over to the harbour to rest. Yuri wanders out, finding that Ehmead Hill has exploded from the Heracles laser and they need to cross some ice floats to get to Zaphias. When everyone is feeling better, they go to the Blade Drifts of Zopheir, realizing that a moster in the water is following them. They find an aer krene and the monster uses it to trap the group. Yuri shove Karol out before he gets too trapped. As Karol stays there, Yuri yells at him to run away, to not fight and to not die but Karol refuses to listen and fights, getting the monster to stop using the aer krene. Yuri and the rest come to Karols aid and kill the monster, getting out of Zopheir and to Halure so Karol can rest from the fever he had gotten.
Hearing nothing but bad news about Zaphias and the condition it's in, Yuri leaves everyone and decides to go there to deal with Estelle by himself. He falls asleep in the Quoi Woods only to be hammered, fireballed and yelled awake by everyone, Repede having gotten them to get Yuri out of his funk. They tell Yuri not to do this alone and he gives in, telling them it mgiht turn serious and Estelle might not be able to get saved. They understand and they're off to Zaphias.
Yuri looks woried over the lower quarter, having not seen anyone from there in any of the refugees, but tries his best to hide it and focus on the task at hand. Luckily and to Yuri's relief, they are in the castle walls where the Schwann brigade helped save them. After a quick recovery they head to the Sword Stair once again to face off against Alexei and save Estelle. Once there, they see that Alexei rewrote Estelle's formula, makign her a puppet and she attacks Yuri, they fight her before Alexei leaves once again, putting more power into the formula. Estelle tells Yuri to kill her again and he agrees, fighting her solo, still trying to get her to snap out of it. Eventually she does and Yuri welcomes her back. After the whole ordeal, Estelle's formula is stablized and Yuri hangs out with each party member, talking to them a bit before deciding to go to Zaude, a dungeon that Alexei had risen. He talks to Flynn for a bit, hearing his promotion and discussing things further with him before being yelled at by Sodia and leaving.
They get to Zaude and meet up with Flynn there and decide they should both take out Alexei together. They talk, Flynn deflecting a laser beam that Yuri was going to get hit by and the group land on the rising platform and fight Alexei. At the end though, Alexei completes the formula and the Adephagos appears, surprising everyone including Alexei. Yuri kills Alexei as the apatheia falls down, resulting in him being separated by the others. He mumbled to himself before turning around and getting stabbed ay Sodia...And he falls off of Zaude. (insert rage here)
He wakes up in his own room, saved by Duke. He explains the situation on the Child of the Full Moon problem and takes Dein Nomos from him. As Yuri tries to get up and follows the man he meets with Estlle and Repede who are happy to find out that he's alive. They have a hear warming reunion and Estelle fixes him up more before they head out the next day to get everyone. Judy acts normal but she does seem realived that he's back. Rita yells at Yuri saying that he looked all over for him but, she was happy to see him again. Karol also yells at him for being gone for so long while Raven cries, both happy that Yuri made it out alive.
Yuri doesn't do much afterwards besides helping with creating the spirits and coming up with the idea to use every core in the world to help defeat the Adephagos. They clash with the Hunting Blades and Khorma but Yuri manages to hold off the guild and talk to Khorma, allowing her to become a spirit. They meet up with Duke again to find out that he is their enemy and that he wishes to destory the Adephagos by destorying humanity. Once they have all four spirits, they hear from Sodia that Flynn is being attacked. Yuri wishes to go alone and save his friend but he's talked into letting the others come along, realizing he should let them help with problems and not be a lone wolf so much. They manage to find Flynn in the middle of the fight and Yuri tells him of their plan to take out all the mosters, getting Flynn to come along like the god old days and they fight their way through the thick of it, joking around adn taunting each other of course until Yuri places the prototype of the Adephagos killler in the middle of the group, destroying all the monster in the area.
The people there decide to make a town for al the people and Yuri wants Flynn to bring Ioder so that they can discuss the furture of the planet there, bringing along Harry - The Don's grandson - and Natz - The leader of Palestralle now - to let them know the blastia will no longer be used. Once gathered they discuss and yuri leaves the meeting, Flynn following wondering ahy Yuri wasn't trying to take credit for anything that he's done to help the world. They get into a bit of an argument, Yuri not wanting the credit because he doesn't want it, and they decide to have a duel before the group goes to defeat Duke and the Adephagos.
They get up there, defeating Zagi along the way for the last time, and meet with Duke. Yuri tries to talk him out of this stupid plan but Duke refuses to listen, setting up for a fight. They defeat him and Yuri lectures Duke about how his friend Elucifer would not want this and about how there was a better way. He then goes over to the group, getting the power to destory the Adephagos.
When Duke adds his power to the Vesperia No. 2, it's supppose to make enough power to destory the Adephagos but it ends up getting Yuri here to Atlas. When the power goes and The Adephagos is destroyed, Yuri won't be there when the power dissipates.
Pulled From: Half way using Vesperia No. 2 during the attack on the Adephagos, when Duke adds his power.
Personality: Yuri normally comes off as a sarcastic, cynical young man who appears to not care for much of the world. He is very laid back about many things and is calm and rational in almost every situation. In reality, he is a very caring person and has been seen as an older brother to many people. He doesn't hesitate to help those in need, especially if they are suffering in front of him, no matter who may be causing the suffering. Because of his life in the 'slums' of the capital city Zaphias, and having witnessed many nobles abusing their power there, Yuri holds a strong dislike and distrust for them. Those he does meet some on a personal level who seem to be trustworthy, he speaks to them as if they are normal people, no matter their rank. Even an Imperial candiate is treated like just a person, with none of the formalities normally equated to them.
Yuri has a strong sense of justice, he believes people should be punished for their deeds, whether or not they are of any rank. To people who have made others suffer, and have not been punished by the system, Yuri takes it upon himself to see that they are punished, even if it means staining his own hands. He sees no shame in becoming a traitor or a murderer if it means protecting the innocent. Though he worries that in doing so, he becomes like the people he hates. He will do what it takes to keep his beliefs.
He enjoys teasing people, and has a habit of doing it in serious situations, in part to relax those around him. He also enjoys fighting immensely. His childhood friend, Flynn Scifo has said that the only time you can see Yuri truly happy is when he is engaged in battle. During other times though, he has a very casual attitude around him that gives him the appeance that he doesn't care or isn't interested.
He loves sweets, and has a weakness for cat ears. He also seems to understand his dog companion Repede, though he never gives a straight answer when questioned. He treats everyone in the party as if they were his family. He gives them advice, support and tends to tease them when he wants to. Yuri teases Karol the most, calling him 'Captain' or 'Boss' whenever he can while making fun of his coward moves but also encouraging him and protecting him to boost up the younger ones confidence, making sure he's alright. Estelle he treats like a little sister almost, showing her the world and letting her make choices for herself, even if it might not be the best one. He protects her as well, With Flynn, he is more open towards his best friend and teases him more often then he usually does with the other party members.
Another thing strange about Yuri is that no matter how much work he does, he is never comfortable with thanks or any showing of appreciation. He gets flustered slightly and tries to veer the subject away from that. He feels like he shouldn't be thanked for anything that he has done, going so far as to let Flynn take all of the credit for the workings of himself and Brave Vesperia as they free the world from the Adephagos.
Future Plans: He probably would be reluctant to join Ad Libitum because he is already in the guild Brave Vesperia. But, he will still help the guild if anyone asks him for help and join temporily until probably a later date or when Karol shows up and says what will happen to their guild here. If he does, he'll probably follow Flynn or Karol to whatever branch there in.
Roleplay Sample:
1st Person:
Come on it's gotta work!
That's...a pretty big tree. This certainly wasn't on top of Tarqaron two seconds ago. Did something go wrong with Vesperia No 2? Great, if Rita did this, I'm sure I'm
Flynn? Repede? Estelle? ...Duke? Huh, looks like no one else made it through to fairyland...
...Halure's tree has got nothing on this one, where the hell did I go anyways?
Well, standing around and staring at that behemoth isn't going to help any, may as well see where I ended up and how to get back home. Hopefully things had worked out with the Adephagos before I ended up here...
Sigh, I really am cursed.

Yuri wakes up to the townbeing under attacked by a large monster and gets Estelle to continue her journey, pissin off Flynn before he hands over the aque blastia. The group runs off to Heliord, deciding to make the guild right there, Estelle giving the name Brave Vesperia and Yuri gives the title Boss to Karol. Then they go to Heliord where they find out that Cumore is mistreating peopel so he could build the town and they intervene, fighting Yeager and running away when Flynn shows up.
They go to Torim, find a ship, go through an haunted ship and wind up in Nordopolica where they can' deliver Don's letter to Belius and a man named Regaey asks for their help. Yuri enters the coliseum to find out they've been had when Flynn is there to fight. Exchanging information, they fight against Zagi and then chase after Regaey when they steal the box from the haunted ship. They go through the Wesand of Cados, and go to Mantaic, where they find that the citizens there were being mistreated by Cumore, being sent out to find Phaeroh, the monster Estelle wants to find. Yuri promises to two children that they will find their parents and set out for the desert, finding a ctrangemonster and collasping from the heat after they defeat it.
Yuri wakes up in Yormgen and tafter a meeting with Duke, go back to Mantaic where they find Cumore abusing the citizens still. Yuri, resolved to put an end to it, wakes Cumore up in the middle of the night to kill him and watches him fall to his death in a sandpit. Flynn shows up, saying that they needed to talk and they once again, have a heated argument where it looks like Flynn tries to use force on him before it's interuppted by Sodia. Estelle comes out from the bushes after hearing everything and accepts what he's done, knowing that she might be killed if she deserved it by his hand.
Back to Nordopolica where they meet Belius and immediately have to fight her when Estelle uses her powers, killing her they receive her apatheia. While Estelle is distraught by having helped kill her, Yuri runs over and slices his arm which she heals right away. He states her power is to heal and that it save him, getting her act togther, they flee to the boats as the knights swarm the city. Flynn gets in their way and wants them to hand over the apatheia they just received. Yuri yells at him, saying he's blindly following orders, and becoming like Ragou and Cumore. Flynn asks if Yuri would kill him if he was like that, revealing to everyone that Yuri had killed Ragou and Cumore. He says he would and before Flynn makes a move, Yuri gives him a look and they flee to their boat, in which Judy runs off after destorying the blastia that moved the ship. Yuri confronts everyone there, sayin ghe holds no regrets, Karol is confused while Raven is rather accepting, Rita doesn't care and Estelle already knew so things move on as they go back to see the Don to give the apatheia to him.
Reaching Dahngrest to find no Don, they find out that he left to the Manor of the Wicked and follow suit. Once there, they realize Don went to confront Yeager and almost killed him before he escaped. Yuri gives him the apatheia and tries to ask questions about it before they have to leave again. And arriving back at Dahngrest, they find out that the Don is goign to kill himself to make things even among the guilds. He asks for a second and Yuri agrees to it, cutting off the Don's head, before going with Rita and Estelle to the meeting room. When tings calm down, Yuri searches for Karol, telling him to stand up and stop crying over the things he can't do, to have more resolve and that he was going to find Judy , even if he wasn't coming. When they leave, Karol dos come back and Yuri welcomes him back, making sure to keep with Karol's wishes.
Reaching Mt. Temza, they discover an old Krytian city, finding Judy in the process. Yuri states based on her actions whether or not he will rain justice on her, surprising everyone. He believes that 'if the arm is infected, you caught it off', no matter who it was. Though, once Ba;ul evolves and takes them to see Phaeroh, he casts that aside and believes that they can help Estelle from not harming the world. That it's their responsibility to see things through and manages to convince Phaeroh to give them time to fix it. Saying to go to Myorzo for more information on what is going on.
Myorzo Yuri finds ot what the Child of the Full Moon is and Estelle runs off. As they dicuss what to do, Raven leaves as well. When they both aren't to be found, Yuri and the others head for the source where Ba'ul said they landed, finding Duke and Alexei there in yormgen. Yuri tries to fight but Yeager and his goons get in the way and Flynn shows up. When Alexei leaves along with Yeager, Yuri yells at Flynn for being blind from Alexeis real intentions and for not rescuing Estelle. He promises to get Estelle back, telling Flynn to get Ioder. For now, they head to where Alexei was going, the Shrine of Baction.
When they reach the Shrine of Baction, they find out that Raven is Schwann and they fight. Yuri delivers a blow to Raven revealing his blastia heart. As Raven tries to accept his death, Yuri shakes him and demands he snaps out of it. Raven does and helps them escape, getting trapped in the shrine all the while. As Karol and Rita mourn, Yuri pushes them onward, saying that Estelle need rescuing, he shrugs off Judy's comment of doing a job nobody wants and leave to follow the Heracles. ...Finding Raven there alive and well. Raven tells Yuri to end it and h merely punches Raven, declaring his life belongs to Brave Vesperia, forgiving him for what he's done. They fight Zagi in the control room where they find out a canon is going to fire at Zaphias. Sodia shows up, exclaiming that Yuri isn't right for the Captain and to back off, Yuri shurgs it off as well and uses Dein Nomos that Duke gave him to disipate the aer and to stop the canon, unfortunately it hits someplace else but Zaphias is safe.
Now the group is off to Zaphias to rescue Estelle! But as they reach the Sword Stair with Ba'ul, and Yuri tries to jump over and get her away from Alexei, Alexei uses her power to blow Yuri away as well as the rest of the group. Not before Estelle tells Yuri to kill her. They collaspe near Nor, badly wounded so they walk over to the harbour to rest. Yuri wanders out, finding that Ehmead Hill has exploded from the Heracles laser and they need to cross some ice floats to get to Zaphias. When everyone is feeling better, they go to the Blade Drifts of Zopheir, realizing that a moster in the water is following them. They find an aer krene and the monster uses it to trap the group. Yuri shove Karol out before he gets too trapped. As Karol stays there, Yuri yells at him to run away, to not fight and to not die but Karol refuses to listen and fights, getting the monster to stop using the aer krene. Yuri and the rest come to Karols aid and kill the monster, getting out of Zopheir and to Halure so Karol can rest from the fever he had gotten.
Hearing nothing but bad news about Zaphias and the condition it's in, Yuri leaves everyone and decides to go there to deal with Estelle by himself. He falls asleep in the Quoi Woods only to be hammered, fireballed and yelled awake by everyone, Repede having gotten them to get Yuri out of his funk. They tell Yuri not to do this alone and he gives in, telling them it mgiht turn serious and Estelle might not be able to get saved. They understand and they're off to Zaphias.
Yuri looks woried over the lower quarter, having not seen anyone from there in any of the refugees, but tries his best to hide it and focus on the task at hand. Luckily and to Yuri's relief, they are in the castle walls where the Schwann brigade helped save them. After a quick recovery they head to the Sword Stair once again to face off against Alexei and save Estelle. Once there, they see that Alexei rewrote Estelle's formula, makign her a puppet and she attacks Yuri, they fight her before Alexei leaves once again, putting more power into the formula. Estelle tells Yuri to kill her again and he agrees, fighting her solo, still trying to get her to snap out of it. Eventually she does and Yuri welcomes her back. After the whole ordeal, Estelle's formula is stablized and Yuri hangs out with each party member, talking to them a bit before deciding to go to Zaude, a dungeon that Alexei had risen. He talks to Flynn for a bit, hearing his promotion and discussing things further with him before being yelled at by Sodia and leaving.
They get to Zaude and meet up with Flynn there and decide they should both take out Alexei together. They talk, Flynn deflecting a laser beam that Yuri was going to get hit by and the group land on the rising platform and fight Alexei. At the end though, Alexei completes the formula and the Adephagos appears, surprising everyone including Alexei. Yuri kills Alexei as the apatheia falls down, resulting in him being separated by the others. He mumbled to himself before turning around and getting stabbed ay Sodia...And he falls off of Zaude. (insert rage here)
He wakes up in his own room, saved by Duke. He explains the situation on the Child of the Full Moon problem and takes Dein Nomos from him. As Yuri tries to get up and follows the man he meets with Estlle and Repede who are happy to find out that he's alive. They have a hear warming reunion and Estelle fixes him up more before they head out the next day to get everyone. Judy acts normal but she does seem realived that he's back. Rita yells at Yuri saying that he looked all over for him but, she was happy to see him again. Karol also yells at him for being gone for so long while Raven cries, both happy that Yuri made it out alive.
Yuri doesn't do much afterwards besides helping with creating the spirits and coming up with the idea to use every core in the world to help defeat the Adephagos. They clash with the Hunting Blades and Khorma but Yuri manages to hold off the guild and talk to Khorma, allowing her to become a spirit. They meet up with Duke again to find out that he is their enemy and that he wishes to destory the Adephagos by destorying humanity. Once they have all four spirits, they hear from Sodia that Flynn is being attacked. Yuri wishes to go alone and save his friend but he's talked into letting the others come along, realizing he should let them help with problems and not be a lone wolf so much. They manage to find Flynn in the middle of the fight and Yuri tells him of their plan to take out all the mosters, getting Flynn to come along like the god old days and they fight their way through the thick of it, joking around adn taunting each other of course until Yuri places the prototype of the Adephagos killler in the middle of the group, destroying all the monster in the area.
The people there decide to make a town for al the people and Yuri wants Flynn to bring Ioder so that they can discuss the furture of the planet there, bringing along Harry - The Don's grandson - and Natz - The leader of Palestralle now - to let them know the blastia will no longer be used. Once gathered they discuss and yuri leaves the meeting, Flynn following wondering ahy Yuri wasn't trying to take credit for anything that he's done to help the world. They get into a bit of an argument, Yuri not wanting the credit because he doesn't want it, and they decide to have a duel before the group goes to defeat Duke and the Adephagos.
They get up there, defeating Zagi along the way for the last time, and meet with Duke. Yuri tries to talk him out of this stupid plan but Duke refuses to listen, setting up for a fight. They defeat him and Yuri lectures Duke about how his friend Elucifer would not want this and about how there was a better way. He then goes over to the group, getting the power to destory the Adephagos.
When Duke adds his power to the Vesperia No. 2, it's supppose to make enough power to destory the Adephagos but it ends up getting Yuri here to Atlas. When the power goes and The Adephagos is destroyed, Yuri won't be there when the power dissipates.
Pulled From: Half way using Vesperia No. 2 during the attack on the Adephagos, when Duke adds his power.
Personality: Yuri normally comes off as a sarcastic, cynical young man who appears to not care for much of the world. He is very laid back about many things and is calm and rational in almost every situation. In reality, he is a very caring person and has been seen as an older brother to many people. He doesn't hesitate to help those in need, especially if they are suffering in front of him, no matter who may be causing the suffering. Because of his life in the 'slums' of the capital city Zaphias, and having witnessed many nobles abusing their power there, Yuri holds a strong dislike and distrust for them. Those he does meet some on a personal level who seem to be trustworthy, he speaks to them as if they are normal people, no matter their rank. Even an Imperial candiate is treated like just a person, with none of the formalities normally equated to them.
Yuri has a strong sense of justice, he believes people should be punished for their deeds, whether or not they are of any rank. To people who have made others suffer, and have not been punished by the system, Yuri takes it upon himself to see that they are punished, even if it means staining his own hands. He sees no shame in becoming a traitor or a murderer if it means protecting the innocent. Though he worries that in doing so, he becomes like the people he hates. He will do what it takes to keep his beliefs.
He enjoys teasing people, and has a habit of doing it in serious situations, in part to relax those around him. He also enjoys fighting immensely. His childhood friend, Flynn Scifo has said that the only time you can see Yuri truly happy is when he is engaged in battle. During other times though, he has a very casual attitude around him that gives him the appeance that he doesn't care or isn't interested.
He loves sweets, and has a weakness for cat ears. He also seems to understand his dog companion Repede, though he never gives a straight answer when questioned. He treats everyone in the party as if they were his family. He gives them advice, support and tends to tease them when he wants to. Yuri teases Karol the most, calling him 'Captain' or 'Boss' whenever he can while making fun of his coward moves but also encouraging him and protecting him to boost up the younger ones confidence, making sure he's alright. Estelle he treats like a little sister almost, showing her the world and letting her make choices for herself, even if it might not be the best one. He protects her as well, With Flynn, he is more open towards his best friend and teases him more often then he usually does with the other party members.
Another thing strange about Yuri is that no matter how much work he does, he is never comfortable with thanks or any showing of appreciation. He gets flustered slightly and tries to veer the subject away from that. He feels like he shouldn't be thanked for anything that he has done, going so far as to let Flynn take all of the credit for the workings of himself and Brave Vesperia as they free the world from the Adephagos.
Future Plans: He probably would be reluctant to join Ad Libitum because he is already in the guild Brave Vesperia. But, he will still help the guild if anyone asks him for help and join temporily until probably a later date or when Karol shows up and says what will happen to their guild here. If he does, he'll probably follow Flynn or Karol to whatever branch there in.
Roleplay Sample:
1st Person:
Come on it's gotta work!
That's...a pretty big tree. This certainly wasn't on top of Tarqaron two seconds ago. Did something go wrong with Vesperia No 2? Great, if Rita did this, I'm sure I'm
Flynn? Repede? Estelle? ...Duke? Huh, looks like no one else made it through to fairyland...
...Halure's tree has got nothing on this one, where the hell did I go anyways?
Well, standing around and staring at that behemoth isn't going to help any, may as well see where I ended up and how to get back home. Hopefully things had worked out with the Adephagos before I ended up here...
Sigh, I really am cursed.
