⁂ PLOT WITH ME Character: Avan de Zinuar III Canon: Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai Canon Point: Before the start of the prequel manga Age: 16 Dragon Bond: Yarrow Laurel, the steel dragon, was a detective in life, known most of all for his ability to read people and their intentions. His hobby was people watching and making conversation with new folks of all walks of life. The more he learned of the people in the world, the better he would be at his job. Not to mention the company was usually lovely. His affable demeanor allowed many to trust him quickly and won him countless life-long friends. His personal motto was 'the answer to everything can be found through observation'.
About Your Blorbo: Avan is a super-genius prodigy whose family history has taught him that dang, people really don't like super-genius prodigies! So he hides his true strength behind a thick layer of silly clownery. He's just a kind-hearted nerd who wants to make people smile and feel at ease, and definitely not secretly an extremely powerful swordsman and spellcaster!!!
Game/Event Plan(s): Oh boy memshare!!! For someone who avoids sharing personal information like Avan does this is a nightmare and for me this is delicious. Memories on offer: -Avan's parents died when he was very young and he was raised by his grandfather. I'm picturing a vignette of widdle babbu Avan coming home from bug hunting only to find strangers in house talking very seriously with his grandfather before he's ushered away. He'll hate having to elaborate on the exact nature of the bad news those people were delivering, it'd be great. -His grandfather also died a few years ago, which can be used as a great jumping-off point for digging into Avan's generational trauma by digging into how Grandpa Zinuar didn't really have any friends and what that meant for Avan. -I can come up with so many silly little scenes for Avan's past few years as a knight of Carl. Avan getting a bag of slimes dumped on him by his best friend, Avan getting scolded for skipping sword training to go hang out in the castle kitchens, Avan getting scolded for attending sword training but only because the princess he's in love with is also going to be training that day, general cute shit with said princess, etc, etc -Hey wanna see Avan magically explode himself? Talk to Holly about that because Popp saw it and hasn't told Avan about it for Obvious Reasons. Avan's figured out that he's dead by Popp's canonpoint and would get Comically Huffy about it if he found out that somebody else learned the truth before Popp came clean with him about it. The nerve, tbh. BT
As for the combat side of things, the presented threat is serious enough that Avan might actually... sneak out of his cabin in the middle of the night to go ID-hunting by himself in secret, despite the warnings to the contrary. Interested In: One of Avan's favorite things about being in CoB is getting to learn about the fancy technology other people have that are completely alien to his native medieval-fantasy-styled world. He eats that shit up.

EDIT: I wrote out some of the memories pre-emptively because the hyperfocus hit, all 4 of these are free game for anyone who wants to catch them.

Anything else? The bagful of slimes is canon.
