⁂ PLOT WITH ME Character: Ardyn Izunia Canon: FFXV Canon Point: The ten year gap in-between Chapter 13 & 14 Age: 2033, looks older than 30s though because of Canon Reasons and also acts like a grandpa Dragon Bond: Jhank Troth, a silver metallic dragon who is a stupid narc in his head that makes Ardyn feel bad about his shitty choices. THANKS, HE HATES IT. They're like an old married couple mentally who bicker about what's 'right' a lot of the time.
About Your Blorbo: Ardyn is, on a surface level, very theatrical and seemingly unbothered by a lot. The man doesn't appear to take much seriously and makes jokes or pokes fun at even dire circumstances. He can come across as creepy, suggestive but also civil, composed, and calm even in the face of hostility.
This is all just thinly veiled attempts to provoke others though since he's basically got some literal demonic sludge disease in his body that tells him to be an asshole. He also is just kind of an asshole sometimes without it needing to influence him, but still! He's a man who believes revenge is a dish best served cold over millennia but also wants an end to his exhausting, miserable existence once he gets it.
Game/Event Plan(s): Finally, some excitement.
↬ Ardyn will be poking his nose around the crash despite being told not to. He also might try and stir up some trouble and sow seeds of anxiety among locals and offworlders alike because why not!
↬ Once they're told what these things are, he'll volunteer for patrolling and keeping people safe. Like a good man! See! He's doing the right thing! (In reality, he wants to capture one of these little freaks and see what they're all about. This will not go well for him, but damn if he isn't going to try.)
↬ Due to his unique circumstances, one of the Intellect Devourers will overload and explode because of him having too many memory. This will cause one of those psconic waves and be the only chance people have to get any of his actual memories. I have ones I want to explore with him, but figure we can hash them out on a case-by-case basis rather than me just tl;dring about them here.
↬ After the explosion, his memory timeline is going to be a bit scrambled and he'll revert back to his DLC self in mannerisms and attitude for a little bit. He will hate this once he remembers everything again, but it might be a fun opportunity for cast or CR to see the man beneath the layers of fucked up monster.
Interested In: Ardyn is a villainous sort so that means he can be manipulative, cold, and calculating when trying to get what he wants. Obviously, the long-term is he gets better about this and isn't such a dick eventually.
Personally, I also like exploring the depths of depravity he can reach and some of the darker, more fucked up parts of him. I know that isn't for everyone though so either lmk or I'll check in if things start veering a potentially Bad Direction.
Anything else? Ardyn checking in with the FFXV cast now and again be like:
