Canon: Darker Than Black
The Devices and Desires of Our Own Hearts: Canon? Fulfilling his potential as a contractor to the utmost of his ability. Playing his role better than anyone. Post-canon? Having his own story instead of being a bit part in someone else's.
A Little Background Noise: November pretty much had everything he wanted! Until he realized that his role and potential culminated in dying to prove the validity of someone else's power. Then he went and did it anyway, because to do anything else would be to turn his back on his nature as a contractor and the role he'd chosen for himself. He isn't happy about that, but he's satisfied with the choice he made and does not regret it. In the City, he is going to feel increasingly frustrated with, ultimately, how little he can do to prove himself and uphold his pride and professionalism. He appreciates the chance to live again and, as things stand, is quite pleased with the City for giving it to him, but in time he's going to start seeking a way out to ( ... )

Canon: Magic Knight Rayearth - Anime (the manga is a little different)
The Devices and Desires of Our Own Hearts: Eagle is dying from a unique incurable illness. His stated wish is to capture the Pillar System of Cephiro so that the system can be analyzed and duplicated on his planet Autozam… in order to save his home from the pollution and over industrialization that threatens to destroy that planet.
However… part 2 of this wish… the part that he never mentions to anyone save for the one time he told Geo right before Eagle’s final battle… is that Eagle wants to die in battle as the warrior he is. Eagle absolutely does not want to die a needless death, a death caused by his illness, he wants to do something important with the end of his life. As Eagle puts it in the anime, “to shape Autozam’s future with my own hands…”
Since he is dying already Eagle is more than prepared to give his life in the pursuit of his one true wish.
A Little Background Noise: See above… I think that explains most of it. Though ( ... )

Canon: Battle Royale (novel)
The Devices and Desires of Our Own Hearts: I'm mainly putting Kazuo up here for you because of the fact that he literally has no desires. Seems impossible, I know, but he doesn't.
A Little Background Noise: He is 100% incapable of feeling emotions. Therefore, he can't comprehend what having a desire is let alone actually having one.
Denouement: I just thought it might be interesting for you character to see someone with no wishes or desires. If you'd like to do plot with that, I'm open to it.

Canon: Suikoden II
The Devices and Desires of Our Own Hearts:
think both of them just want a happy ending, living together, not having to fight etc. etc. Except...
A Little Background Noise:
They've got the halves of the True Rune of the Beginning on their right hands. In their world, the True Runes are infamous for being drivers of fate and destiny; they start wars, screw up people's lives, influence people, and just run things behind the scenes. The runes on Riou and Jowy's hands want to be reunited; reunited as in "get their bearers to fight to the death so the loser has no choice but to give up his rune to the winner".
A joyful tidbit is the fact that these things actually suck the life force out of their bearers whenever they use it. It's probably to make sure it doesn't quite end up in a drawn out battle of attrition... True Runes love making things screwed up like that.
Denouement: A plot would actually be wonderful! And considering that Riou and Jowy have no reason to fight in the city, it ( ... )

Canon: Suikoden (the first and second games)
The Devices and Desires of Our Own Hearts: After thinking of this for a while, I've decided it would be to no longer be under the curse of his rune.
A Little Background Noise: Tyr's rune is called the "Soul Eater", and its proper name is "the Rune of Life and Death", and that pretty much describes it in a few words. It lets Tyr live forever (in that he won't age or catch ill) while it also sort of... messes with fate to somehow cause the people he cares about to die, including his father, sort-of father, best friend, and women he admired, so the rune can take their souls and gain power.
So... He really would like for that stuff to go away and not happen again. The problem is that while he could give the rune away and no longer be affected, he also would never willingly do so (and the rune zaps the woman who tries to take it from him). Dilemma.
Denouement: I wouldn't mind some plot or cat-and-mouse. I think messing around first would be best, though. o/
