App
Character: Roy
Series: Suikoden V
Age: 16
Canon: Suikoden V is the epic tale of a kind and just prince who gathers an army of 108 destined warriors to save his Queendom of Falena from dictatorship, while at the same time dealing with his fate as the bearer of a powerful yet potentially dangerous True Rune. The Prince's name is Freyjadour Falenas, and this is his app.
Just kidding! This app isn't about the real Prince of Falena. It's about Roy, a downtrodden street bandit who bears an uncanny physical resemblance to him. Bitter over the fact that he shares the Prince's appearance but not his luck in life, Roy accepted a noble's offer to help ruin the Prince's name for fun and profit-- by robbing and terrorizing a peaceful mountain village while disguised as the real Prince. But after a confrontational duel that ended in his defeat, he agreed to turn over and join the Prince's army, using his looks to act as a decoy for the enemy.
Just because he's on the Prince's side now doesn't mean he's over his petty grudge, though. When off-duty, he makes the best of it by continuing to impersonate the Prince as a practical joke, having switched from plundering villages to more benign activities like gambling away large sums of money and intruding on the girls' baths in the castle. (Hey, it's a start!) But even when playing the part, his own cocky, rude, over-the-top attitude shows through, making him about as far from the real Prince as possible. Not to mention he likes to use (and misuse) ridiculously flowery language, failing to notice that nobody, not even royalty, talks like that anymore. Yet somehow Roy still manages to fool most people . . . at least until being caught off-guard causes him to slip his act.

How're my favorite lil' swampy green neighbors today~? That's right, everyone, the Prince of Falena has arrived! Come give yer liberator a royal welcome, would ya?
Heh, not bad, not bad at all for a start! But I can do better. This is all new territory I'm dealin' with, so I gotta make my entrance extra memorable. Here goes!
Verily, wretched souls, thou hast heardeth me true! I, the valiant Prince Freyjadour Falenas, hath nobly come to free thee from thine life of poverty and oppression! Camp Fucketh Thou Perish-- damn, should that've been Fucketh Thee Perish?-- shall soon be no more in the clutches of yon cruel dictatress!
. . . HA HA HA! They bought it all! My whole act, every last bit of it! Just listen to 'em, singin' my praises. Braaaains, braaaaains~ Damn right I got brains! Ya think I'm a genius now, just wait till after I reveal my master plan.
Wait a sec. Somethin' feels off here . . . oh, I know! Ha ha, I'm so good I fooled myself into forgettin'! I ain't the one with the master plan! C'mon, why would I be? I'm just the fake, the decoy, the one they sent to distract everyone while the real Prince pulls off the real plan . . . uhh, whatever it is. Speakin' of, ain't it about time he showed up? Hmph, he's prolly still on the other side of that river back there, afraid to wade through an' get his feet muddy. Or dyed green an' purple. Whatever. If ya ask me, all that makes him is a real pansy.
Y'know, as long as I'm waitin', I think I could get used to this little swamp. I got off to a good start here. For once, I got the people's respect. Maybe here, I can be real royalty! Or at least treated like it, ya know? Yeah, yeah, just for a while! A day, a week, however long it takes the Prince to get his spoiled, lazy ass over here. That oughta be plenty of time to have some fun~
Ahem. Hear me, peons! There is to be a royal fortress built upon yonder lake! Hence, thine new ruler commands thee to tread forth into yonder-er forest and harvest for me its finest materials!
. . . Ugh, what the hell's all this?! Ain't trees supposed to die when ya cut 'em down?! Cuz this one's so not-dead it's movin' a-and why's it grabbin' at-- I mean, uh . . . What be this strange wildlife invading my royal space?! Remove it from mine presence at once and bringeth me a more obedient oak or pine or whatever ya got around h-HEY! WHY AREN'T YA LISTE-- I mean . . . D-didst thou not hearest me?! Comply at once, or thine head shall surely roll!
--Whaddaya mean, yer used to it?!
