In-Character Information
Name: Yarne
Game/Series: Fire Emblem: Awakening
Canon Point: Immediately after heading back to the past.
Age & Grade Level: 16, Freshman
Personality: If you had to use one word to describe Yarne, then basically anyone who's met him would know what to use. "Cowardly." "Panicky", "Anxious", and "Paranoid" would be close second, though. Yarne is very powerful, boasting the ability to assume the form of a large rabbit-like creature to dispatch foes, but despite that, he can't help but envision the absolute worst case scenario, no matter what. What if he gets slaughtered by a huge pack of Risen in the next battle? What if an archer picks him off the second he comes out from the patch of trees he's hiding in? What if it's cold out, starts raining, gets his fur wet and saps all the heat away and he freezes to death?
Of course, there's quite a bit of pressure on him that helps contribute to this attitude of his. In his time, he's the last of his kind. If something were to happen to him, then his entire race would come to an end, so he feels the need to take special care with his own safety. Yarne will almost always choose to avoid trouble however he can despite the cowardly labels it may earn him, even if it's a trouble that his overactive imagination has concocted from seemingly nothing.
That's not to say he's entirely without courage, though. He may be a total craven when it's his own life on the line, but if someone else is in danger? He'd risk his own neck without a second thought to help them. Running away to save himself is one thing, but if someone were to get themselves killed because of his own cowardice, he's not sure if he could ever live with it. He's also well aware of just how pathetic he can be at times, and he's definitely not proud of it.
His constant fretting can make him a bit self centered at times. Unless someone's life is in danger, he's always worrying about how something would affect him before it affects others. He's a good person at heart, though, and once he's sure someone isn't harboring a secret desire to kill him and harvest his pelt, he makes a loyal friend.
Backstory: The world that Yarne comes from is a dark, bleak one, that hasn't known anything other than war for a long, long time, starting with the assassination of Exalt Emmeryn, of the Halidom of Ylisse.
In his time, there was no one there to protect her. The crown prince, Chrom, was gravely wounded before the battle had even begun, and the only warning they received came too late, in the form of the last remaining Taguel, Panne. She had been told of the plot by a certain Plegian dark mage, who, 2 years later, she would find herself falling in love with. Unfortunately, it was too little too late. She did her best to stop the assassins, but there was nothing she could do. The deed was done. The Exalt was dead, and war with Plegia was unavoidable. In another reality, her death might have been moving. It might have stirred the Plegian people, encouraged them to lay down their arms rather than fight. Here, that was not the case, and the war was long and bloody. The Ylisseans were outnumbered and outpowered, and were it not for the brilliant mind of a former Plegian tactician who had become Chrom's closest friend, they might have been defeated.
Soon after that war ended, came the news of the land's impending conquest by Walhart, and another war started. Again, victory would have been impossible if not for the Plegian tactician. Even sooner after that war ended, though, Validar made his move.
Validar, the man who'd been behind Emmeryn's assassination, and had planned for almost every event since. The man who was the head of the Grimleal, a cult dedicated to the revival of the dark dragon Grima. The man who was the father of Chrom's tactician, and exhibited a strange control over him. The tactician delivered the Fire Emblem straight into Validar's hands. Chrom and his Sheperds went to stop him, before he used it to resurrect the dark dragon, and they very nearly succeeded, were it not for one thing. Chrom was betrayed by his closest friend, forced to murder the young lord by his own father.
After that, Grima was resurrected, and his undead minions began to sweep across the land. Were the dragon at it's full strength, it's unsure if humanity could survive for long. But after thousands of years of slumber, the beast's power had waned, and it would take a great many sacrifices for it to regain its strength. So, humanity lingered, fighting back in vain against the seemingly endless tides of Risen. Unfortunately, Panne was not one of them. Soon after giving birth to her child, she was killed in battle, before her son even had a chance to know who she was. The boy's father did his best to raise him alone when he could while still fighting. He even proved to be a surprisingly good parent. That didn't last, though, and before long he was killed as well, and the boy was left an orphan.
That's how Yarne grew up. Alone, the last of his race, and absolutely terrified of ending up like his parents. He knew that, as a Taguel, he had great power, but he knew his mother had as well, and it hadn't helped her. He wanted to put his strength to use, to try and stop his inevitable extinction, and the extinction of life in general, but he was too afraid to do anything on his own. So, he ended up with one of the last true forces fighting back. The descendants of Chrom's Shepherds. That, and surrounding himself with powerful allies helped to make him feel a lot safer in such a hostile world.
Their efforts weren't enough, though. Grima's army was endless, and his power grew with every day. The one hope they had to fight back against Grima, the Awakening, was impossible for Lucina, Chrom's heir, to actually accomplish. So, another plan was devised. One to make sure that Grima never came into being in the first place. They'd go to the past, and they'd change history. Leaving their ruined world behind, they'd go to a new one, and try and change things.
...That was the plan, but when Yarne passed through the portal into the past, a minor dimensional shift had him ending up at Smash Academy instead. After getting past his initial terror at suddenly ending up in such an unfamiliar, possibly hostile place, he learned the nature of where he was. A large school, that in addition to more scholarly pursuits, also teaches fighting techniques, that he could leave whenever he wanted, and return to the exact moment in time he was originally supposed to arrive in. So... Why not just stick around a bit? Relax a little, do some learning and training, so he's better prepared? Great idea, right?
...It's certainly not that he's scared to go back and have to fight in wars or anything.
Anything Else?:
Birthday: March 14th
If you missed it in the backstory, his father is Henry!
He's a Taguel, a bunnylike species who use something called a beaststone to take a more bestial form, that resembles a giant rabbit, and is far more deadly than you'd think something like that would be.
He's also got big floppy ears, and exceptional senses, especially hearing.
In-Character 1st person sample: So, uh... Hi, everyone? My name's Yarne, and... you know, I'm sure that most of the people that would come to a school that teaches fighting would probably be like, bloodthirsty bandits or something, so uh... I'm totally uh, a giant tough monster!! So don't even think of messing with me, got it?? Because uh, I'll totally beat you up! And stuff!
Oh god, maybe coming here was a bad idea...
In-Character 3rd person sample: How had it come to this?
Yarne didn't think it would ever happen. He was always so careful, so cautious, so unnaturally paranoid. But here he was. It had finally happened.
He'd closed a door on one of his ears.
Not only that, it was stuck so close to the base of the ear that he couldn't risk turning to the side to try to open the door again without risking tearing his ear right off, and then he'd surely bleed to death, or if he somehow survived that, it'd impair his hearing for the rest of his life and someday soon he wouldn't hear someone coming to kill him because they'd be coming from his bad side and that would be it, he'd be dead. No more Taguel. He'd call for help, but what if someone sees him totally helpless like this and thinks it'd be a perfect opportunity to finish him off??? No, the only option is to sit here forever, and ever, and ever.
Several minutes of frenzied panicking later, he'd remember he could just reach behind himself to open the door again without tearing his ear off, and swear to never mention such an embarrassing incident ever again.
