Name: Prompto Argentum Door: Glass Half Full - Left Canon: Final Fantasy XV Canon Point: Right after Episode Prompto, after having destroyed Immortalis and being recaptured by Ardyn, held hostage in Zegnautus Keep, and just before the others arrive to rescue him. Age: 20 Appearance: pretty blond with bad fashion sense History: Prompto Story @ FF Wiki CR AU (Optional): N/A Personality: ☆ Kindness: Prompto is a very kind person - he's always the first to ask how his friends are doing, when the group argues he stands up for the underdog, when Ignis is blinded he's the one who most frequently helps him move safely through the world, he is the only one to help set up for dinners. While he never makes a big deal out of it, Prompto is a kind and gentle presence for the others in the group. He's also an upbeat one, generally keeping a good attitude and cheerful mood despite the hardship the group goes through - this helps cheer the others up and keeps them going, no matter how difficult things get. Prompto's kindness and goodwill are most obvious in how he treats Ignis after Ignis is blinded - Prompto goes out of his way to take care of Ignis, to guide him as they walk, and speaks to him in a gentle way without patronizing him. He defends Ignis's right to stay with the group despite this new disability, and makes sure to stick by him even in dungeons and dangerous situations. ☆ Insecurity: More than being just a vice, insecurity is one of Prompto's most prominent personality traits. Internally, his insecurity is something that defines him, something that motivates him in a lot of different ways - it is the root of his habit of being a people-pleaser, his need to prove himself useful. There are a lot of experiences in his past that contributed to this - his poor body image when he was a child, his knowledge that he came from the enemy nation of Niflheim from a young age, his discovery that he was a clone intended to be an MT (enemy magitek soldier) before his rescue from Niflheim. Prompto feels like a fake, like he has no worth, and is constantly afraid that the people he cares about care about him less than he cares about them. Frequently, Prompto observes things about the others that he finds admirable, but never really says anything positive about himself - he feels inferior to the others, Gladio the strong one, Ignis the smart one, and Noctis the royal. He feels like a tagalong, someone unwanted who's pushing his way into the group, and has a hard time believing it even when reassured otherwise by his friends. In fact, he is reassured multiple times by his friends that he's wanted and part of the group, but continues to struggle to believe it until quite late in the game. This trait is something that would continue to haunt him in the casino, as he struggles to make meaningful connections with others. ☆ Following: Prompto is not a leader by any stretch of the imagination, and throughout the game he simply goes along with what the others want to do. His opinion is rarely volunteered unless it's to complain about being out in nature and wanting to sleep somewhere nice, and even when it is, it's often ignored. The others simply don't take Prompto seriously, and he doesn't particularly mind that, preferring to go with the flow and do what the others want to do. Even when he does try to interfere with what the others are doing, it's met with disdain, including one time where Gladio simply pushed him out of the way by pressing his hand on Prompto's face. However, despite this kind of treatment, Prompto doesn't seem too upset by it, shrugging it off, because in the end it doesn't really matter all that much to him whether or not he's in charge. He's simply a follower by nature, ready to allow the others to take charge. ☆ Fakeness: What Prompto presents to the world is the image of a playful, cheerful, happy-go-lucky, wise-cracking guy, someone who's always upbeat and friendly, the comic relief of his group. He has a knack for cheering people up, for making people smile, and lightening the mood. However, that's just the facade he presents - internally, Prompto is an overthinker, insecure and clingy, self-hating, and prone to deep, dark thoughts. This side of himself is something he almost never shows, afraid that it'll make his friends lose faith in him, afraid that he'll no longer be what they want him to be. Because of this fake front, it's hard for people to get close to the real Prompto, to really understand where he's coming from. This side is something that only comes out when he's prompted and pushed a little, and he's only shown to open up to Noctis, his best friend, about these thoughts, at least until very late in the game. It's likely that he'll put up this facade in game as well, making it a little more difficult for people to really know him. Powers and Abilities: Prompto is a normal human being without any superhuman abilities, but he is very talented at using guns and machinery. ☆ Guns & Machinery: Prompto has excellent aim, and is a quick study when it comes to new types of weaponry, particularly guns and mechanical weapons such as saws, drills, etc. It is likely that he has the ability to tinker with mechanical weapons. ☆ Fighting: Prompto has received Crownsguard training and is excellent at stealth takedowns and use of a bladed weapon similar to a machete. ☆ Manifest Weapons: Because Noctis is present in the game, Prompto would have the ability to manifest weapons that he is not actively carrying on his person. Would be affected by whatever nerfs have been imposed on Noctis, and I'm willing to have this nerfed. ☆ Magic Flasks: Can use magic flasks with spells implanted in them by Noctis. The spells are elemental in nature and generally used for attacks or buffs/debuffs. Inventory: Just the clothes on his back - pants, tank top, vest with plaid "skirt" attachment, boots. Everything else of value would've been taken by Ardyn. Samples: TDM Log | TDM Top-Level | Network Post (Previous Game) |
