[Background]
Larsa was born in Old Valendia, in the Kingdom of Arcadia, fourth and youngest son to the Emperor Gramis. He’d never have the chance to meet his two eldest brothers, as they were killed by his third in a fratricide ordered by Gramis himself, and carried out by his third son, Vayne. Vayne Solidor was to be Larsa’s role model while he grew, his protector, and his teacher in many ways. But, having been born into House Solidor; the lineage of rulers of the most powerful Kingdom in all Ivalice-Arcades; it was unlikely at best that this close bond would last unruffled by political strife.
At the age of twelve, Larsa begins to become aware that not all is right with the Arcadian Empire. After the war it staged with the city-kingdoms of Nalbina and Dalmasca; wars crafted by Vayne himself when Larsa was ten; his own country shows no signs of releasing power, nor aiming for peace. Determined to find out the truth behind what his beloved elder brother is up to, Larsa escapes his cortege in the sky city of Bhujerba, taking on the alias Lamont and teaming up with a Sky Pirate to enter the Bhujerban Magicite mines. He enters with his own agenda-find out what Nethicite is, what his brother is up to, and how to create peace and restore order to a war-torn country.
It isn’t long before Larsa’s ruse is found out, and he is returned to the hands of the Empire. Unbeknownst to him, his elderly, sickly father is being pressed by the Arcadian senate to choose Larsa-not Vayne-as heir to the Arcadian throne. Gramis prefers Larsa due to his peaceful nature, and the Senate prefers him for his young age and therefore the ease in which they could puppet him. When Vayne finds out, he sends his father the way of his brothers before him-murders him and takes the throne for himself. To avoid being puppeteered by the senate, he imprisons them for the murder of the Emperor. Of all of this, Larsa only finds out that his father has died and is devastated by the loss.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Vayne, Larsa has teamed up with the de-throned and supposedly dead heir to the Dalmascan throne, Lady Ashe, in order to restore her. He has also promised safekeeping to a girl; Penelo; that he rescued from his own guards after her kidnapping-giving him an intimate connection to Lady Ashe and her party.
It is to this end that he helps Penelo, Ashe, et all escape the Arcadian air ship they are imprisoned on, and gives Penelo powerful Nethicite to keep with her to keep her safe.
After this, when he next meets Asch, he begs her go to meet Al-Cid with him; a member of the ruling family of Rozzaria with whom he helps to hold talks and restore peace. After this, he is taken back to Vayne by Judge Gabranth, a high soldier of the Arcadian Empire. He returns to try to talk sense into his brother and avoid war-only to be ignored. His brother instead shows him the destructive force of his new war ship, which horrifies Larsa. Finally giving up on his brother, he draws his own sword against Vayne and fights him. Larsa is knocked out, and at Vayne’s order, Judge Gabaranth moves in to protect him. When Larsa wakes, it is he who uses the Nethicite to save Gabranth and end his brother’s onslaught.
When Vayne dies, Larsa gives the order for worldwide peace, and is instated as the next Emperor. He does create peace and is supported largely by the world’s leaders, including Lady Ashe, whom he re-instates. Gabranth’s brother, Basch, stays on after Gabranth’s death to become Larsa’s personal guard, and Larsa keeps in touch with Penelo through letters.
[Personality]
Larsa is incredibly intelligent and politically savvy. Despite his young age, he understands mature concepts and thinks in a highly advanced manner. He both acts and reacts to situations in ways far beyond his years. He has an incredible ability to string words together into heartfelt and clever speeches, a talent that makes him both persuasive and easily admired. At the same time, Larsa is incredibly humble, and is not beyond begging for help or prostrating himself in order to get a desired result. He is also incredibly giving, as he sees it to be his duty as a Lord to personally protect those who need it, and put others before himself.
Despite all of this, Larsa it must be said can be a bit of an imp. If he feels a result of greater good can be obtained, he is certainly not beyond lying, stealing, or running away. Another personality flaw would be naivety coupled with unrelenting optimism. He believes in the good of people almost to a fault-it is only after ample proof that he will finally take an ill opinion of someone, especially if it is of a friend or ally.
Larsa is most of all hopeful and driven. He absolutely hates violence of any type, and wants to live up to his family’s supposed ideals of honor, peace, and kindness at all times. Any chance to purport on those traits he will take, no matter the cost.
Larsa is soft spoken, critical, and very open about both his feelings and sometimes his plans. He trusts people and likes being liked. In some ways, one might forget he is still a child; but it can be easily reminded by the fact that he will heedlessly go running into danger without thought of very real consequences, at times.
[Specialties/Abilities]
A deft politician, flowery speaker, and very much apt at fencing. He can also perform various base types of ‘magik’.
[Affection]
Again- Larsa is only thirteen. Affection/Orientation almost will not matter for him at all. The only exceptions to this are as follows:
1. If Larsa develops a kiddie!crush on your character. Larsa does have a crush in his own canon on a girl named Penelo, which he will still have when he starts out in Som. However! If you want to plot to make Larsa have a kiddie!crush on one of your characters, let me know, and we can talk. Gender doesn’t matter too much, but again remember- it’s just a crush.
2. If your character develops a crush on Larsa, maybe let me know ooc. If he finds out IC, he will probably do his utmost not to hurt the person, and to seem worthy of their affections. This may lead to it being a two-sided crush; but again, as he is 13, all affection for him will be classified as ‘Hand Holding!sexual.’
The short answer: Feel free to like Larsa, and Larsa may even like you back! But it will be a slow process that is all about first love and cutesy emotional connection 100%.
[Fighting]
Fight: Sure.
Injure: Sure.
Kill: If your character would really be heartless enough to kill a child, then I guess go for it. Just let me know ahead of time so I can give the okay.
Larsa’s Fighting Ability: He is a great fencer and very fast, with quite a bit of healing magik. Therefore, he is very difficult to harm. On the other hand, he is not very strong, and would have difficulty harming anyone else.
Would Larsa Start a Fight?: Gosh no. He’s the shining advocate of peace and non-violence. The only time he would begin a fight is if he felt it was absolutely necessary, for some truly greater good.

Can telepathic characters read your character's mind?: Sure.
How much can fourth wall breakers say? In other words, how intrusive can another character be toward yours?: Ask ahead of time! In general I’m okay with it I think, but just double check before doing anything please.
[Other Facts]
Larsa has a never-ending fount of hi-potions. I have no idea where he keeps them. Maybe up his poofy sleeves.
