Sorey l Tales of Zestiria l Paladin

PLAYER INFO

Player: Caprica
Contact: PM, or I am over on Plurk @ caprican or Discord @ angelolatry


CHARACTER INFO

Character: Sorey
Canon: Tales of Zestiria, canon point being that he is taken from earlier on when he passes out with the fight against Heldalf and is taken back to Rose and the gang's ruins base.
Armada: Paladin

About: Sorey is the most sheltered and oblivious seventeen year old who was raised among seraphim (elemental spirits) who basically leaves his village and goes on a journey to try support relations between the seraphim and the humans and to save his world from Malevolence (like a negative energy that can corrupt sort of deal). His bff is a water seraphim named Mikleo and it is honestly a miracle Sorey has survived in this game as long as he has without his water bff. Mikleo grounds him and is basically 99% of Sorey's impulse control with how reckless he can be.

His thing is that he can armatize or basically ala fusion in Dragonball, with the seraphim in his party to help him fight and make use of and control their different elements.

I have his app and more info in his journal if anyone is curious and has yet to get through Zestiria.

Abilities:

Shepherd:

As the Shepherd, I'm going to try umbrella this since it covers a few things:

Armatization - being able to channel the seraphs in the party and use this to their advantage in combat. Combining into one (the seraphs using Sorey's body as a vessel) and thus granting Sorey access to their Seraphic Artes (using their particular element that seraphim is attuned to, out of fire, water, earth or wind) in combat along with their particular Divine Weapon. This does take time initially for him to adjust to in willing it to finish however, but he does eventually come able to revert back to himself at will.

Resonance - Ability to see and hear seraphim, potentially other supernatural beings most other normal humans cannot usually sense, due to his having been brought up among seraphim back home at Elysia. Think of it as like some sort of spiritual sense. Along with this is his ability to sense Malevolence, which is sort of like a dark energy that makes him feel ill, tight in the chest. It's basically a big part of his whole 'purity' thing, really. His resonance is what allows him to become the Shepherd, basically, because he can see and hear Lailah in order to make a pact with her. This pact is what allows him to thus be able to purify the hellions. He can manage animal or plant based hellions fine, but humanized hellions, according to expanded information in the anime, means Sorey takes on their Malevolence.

Pacts - Sorey can make a pact with another human with resonance to take them on as a Squire. A Squire can essentially also assist in purifying hellions and help the Shepherd on their journey, basically. Acting as a support to them along the way and assisting them in carrying out their duties to deal with the hellions. If the Squire has a high enough resonance, such as Rose in the game, they can also then armatize with the seraphim once they have made their pact and been given a True Name by the Shepherd. In Sorey and Rose's case, if something happens to the Shepherd, the Squire can thus make a pact to take on their role in turn too.

--

- History/Ruins Knowledge - Sorey is really keen on this sort of stuff and grew up wanting to explore ruins and learn about history so this is kind of his Thing. He and Mikleo are all about geeking out over ruins together. So he will easily pick up on this sort of thing in Incensed's setting and all.

- Fighting/Hunting ability - Sorey has a sword and can use a bow when hunting as well, so he can fight/defend himself or go hunting for meat for example if he has to with these basic survival skills.


PLANS

General: Sorey is part of Cid's crew and is the biggest history nerd so is always up for exploring (maybe finding ruins!!!!) and helping out in general. He is the kind that can't really say no. He is also trying to learn more in general about things with this world and learning about and meeting everyone to work together. Because that helps in not being as clueless and sheltered a country bumpkin.
MANTA Board: Books? Sorey is there. Unfortunately these ones have been bitten???
And if there are ruins even underwater, well. Sorey is prob gonna check those out?? If I remember??

Event: Prob top level or if not then I will tag around. Sorey might not be keen for the romance aspect because lol he is Mikleo-less if that were to ever apply to him at all and otherwise has zero interest in that sort of thing. But he might at least check out the resort and help out working there or something??? Maybe help with the weddings as a Tribute to be kidnapped??

Etc.:
