★ First Impressions
☆ VISUAL: Emil is a little on the short side, about 5'7"-- what you'd expect from a teenager. He's bleach-blonde with tan skin and bright green eyes, and he wears black and dark blue. He has a tendency to slouch and make himself smaller than he really is. Sometimes his voice deepens though, and then he has a ramrod-straight back and a glare on his face, and his body language is much more threatening. I should note that his eyes don't actually change to red when in Ratatosk Mode, it's just a player's visual cue.
☆ AURAL: Ratatosk Mode!Emil literally gives off a black aura when deeply angered and drawing on his power. Emil is capable of using magic, if you can sense that sort of thing. Also he's died and been resurrected before he found the Plane, and he's died on the Plane too.
☆ OLFACTORY: Emil probably smells like outside. They've been traveling around for months and he spends 100% of his time off the Plane with various kinds of monsters. He also cooks a lot for them, so I imagine he smells like food too, mostly sweet things like boiled carrots and cookies.
☆ DEMEANOUR: Emil is deeply troubled by the world around him, but he's determined at heart and hopeful. He's kind and always tries to help others, though he hides his troubles from his friends. He's a little wimpy but he is hard to forget, regardless. Emil gives off a bit of a nervous air and he fidgets a lot. As nice as he is, he has a tendency to lie. Ratatosk Mode is harsh and brash, but underneath all the yelling and caustic behavior he cares just as much about the world as Emil does.

☆ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Go for it. He'll be very embarrassed, though. Due to some trauma (a.k.a. being beaten by his uncle for six months) Emil is jumpy about contact he doesn't initiate himself, but if he trusts you, he'll be able to calm down. Ratatosk Mode: He'll shove people away. It might hurt, but he won't pull out the knife unless someone is trying to force him.
☆ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: WHY WOULD YOU EVER HIT EMIL. Nah, actually, it's fine. Just tell me if you're going to kill him. Remember that fighting triggers his other side, which is meaner. Ratatosk Mode: He is very hax and will try to hurt you back if you try.
☆ RELATIONSHIPS: Emil is in love with Marta. All three of him. However, he does get boycrushes on people in his life whom he looks up to (Richter, for example). Normally I'm okay with cross-canon ships, but I really can't see Emil falling in love with anyone but his reason for living, at least at this point. The fact that he's going down the "PERFECT" path of endings certainly adds to it, and two on-screen kisses in the game + confessions set it in stone for this canon. Feel free to crush on him though (I don't see why anyone would).
☆ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Emil has no psychic powers to speak of, but his head is a battlefield. Since he has an epic boss battle INSIDE OF HIS HEAD I can safely say that Ratatosk is aware of people poking around in there. It's very crowded, and anyone attempting to do the rearranging ought to be very careful or else they'll have all the powers of an old God lashing out at them and kicking them out. Peeking is fine. Here is what his mind currently looks like. In short: be careful what you do in there.
☆ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Emil can use magic spells/draw on mana, but he doesn't do this as Emil. Instead, he has sword techniques that gain elemental attributes depending on what he has equipped. Basically, he can use the power of the elements to give his sword moves more power, and occasionally do something like shoot rocks at an enemy. He also has access to Mystic Artes, which are powerful enough to kill someone who isn't prepared. For a complete list of stuff he can do, see here. His magic mainly revolves around making pacts with monsters and also manipulating the Centurions' Cores, so I think most people are exempt.
☆ MEDICAL INFORMATION: Emil is actually in very good health physically. It's surprising because he has a tendency to pass out/space out/be weird. Mentally he's a complete mess with retrograde amnesia/disassociative identity disorder/amnesia/depression among other things. He has a few notable scars he hides. The first is a star-shaped birthmark above his collarbone. The second is a bigger star-shaped scar that spans from above his belly button to just below his chest.
☆ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: His amnesia, killing people, lots of blood, his parents' death, unsolicited physical contact makes him flinch. Trying to hurt Emil or especially, ESPECIALLY Marta brings out the nasty personality and bloody showers with a chance of death.

☆ FOURTHWALLING: Since Emil is AU and from an obscure canon, chances are I'm gonna say no.

☆ ANYTHING ELSE? I encourage you to PM me about ANYTHING. :|b Emil especially is a complicated case and I will try to explain him to my best ability if you need help.
