Character: Freyjadour Falenas
Series: Suikoden V
Character age: 16
Canon: In the fair land of Falena lived a Queen, her husband and their children, Princess Lymsleia and Prince Freyjadour. All was happy in this wonderful land, until someone decided to stage a coup while they were trying to choose a husband for the 10 year old Princess and all hell broke loose. Our hero, Prince Freyjadour, is deemed a "rebel" in this civil war, all because he wanted to set things right again.
The Prince is the typical Suikoden Hero - unofficially named (except in the novels) and silent. The game does a wonderful job of portraying what he does say, often through the use of his bodyguard, Lyon, but he "speaks" with dialogue selections far more than most other Suikoden heroes. He is deceptively good at understanding court intrigue and the way people might use him as a pawn, but he has a youthful vigor and is sometimes overzealous and unbelieving of the things that he wouldn't have been exposed to inside the Palace walls. The Prince is polite, choosing his words in situations carefully, which helps to make him a good ambassador. He's usually quite honest and modest, but he realizes the value of a little lie in public situations. The major trait he picked up from his father is his determination. Once he's made up his mind to do something, he doesn't like backing down. And one thing above all else: Prince Freyjadour cares for all his followers, but especially his family, placing their well-being far above his own.
Sample post:
Ah, hello, everyone! My name is Freyjadour Falenas, and I come on behalf of the Queendom of Falena - no, the Queen herself. She wishes to extend her condolences at the death of Lady Elizabeth's fiance. As a token of Her appreciation and good will, Her Majesty has asked that I stay here for a time, as part of... an exchange program. She'd like me to learn more about this place and for me to teach everyone a little about Falena too. I'm sure camp will prove to be most interesting, and I do think that everyone should try to learn a little more about their neighboring lands - I have lots of stories I can tell you about Falena, I'm sure!
The prospect of all this is quite exciting. Is this what all summer camps are like? I suppose the closest thing I can relate it to was the summers we spent in the mansion down by the river. Mother even hired a motivational speaker that time... though I don't believe my sister particularly approved of a man telling her what she ought to do. Oh, I apologize, I'm off track. What I really wanted to comment on is the name of this camp - is Fuck You Die a place around here? Perhaps the lake? That's how I decided on the name for my temporary headquarters, but this name seems... a little more personal than that. Maybe she named it for her fiance...
I've never managed to find my way here before, so it was very considerate for Lady Elizabeth send someone to greet me. He was holding up a sign, just waiting for me on the way in! It almost looked like he wasn't sure what my name was, but the sentiment was there, and I very much appreciate it. I'm not sure what kind of a name Hero is supposed to be. Hero of what, I wonder? I'm glad I didn't bring much with me, as I don't know if he would've been able to help carry any of it. I'm actually quite glad to see that he has his limitations, as Her Majesty would also be happy to know that you use employment equity principles here. No one should be discriminated against based on their physical limitations, and they say that with the loss of one sense or ability, your others become stronger, so my guide must have amazing toes given that most of his fingers... well. You know.
Oh, Her Majesty wanted me to mention one more thing - one of the reasons why she felt such a kinship with Lady Elizabeth, and why she has sent me here. I'm afraid that with all the excitement, I almost lost track myself! Both Falena and Camp are both ruled by women! While I'm not entirely certain about Camp, Falena's royal line has succession that follows the women's side, and typically, the eldest daughter inherits the throne. I suppose Camp Fuck You Die hasn't had any need to decide on rules of inheritance here, as it seems a mostly peaceful place, and I can't imagine why anyone would desire to hurt the Lady Director, but it's still something that Her Majesty wanted mentioned. To tell you the truth, the fact that Falena is this way makes things much easier for someone like me. The only possible way for me to ever rule Falena would be for me to be a woman! -- Wait, what do you mean, camp can fix that?
