Crime: Murder of women. He doesn't just kill them, he MURDERS THEM.

Okay, sorry, I had to lean into the meme a little. But more seriously: Dimitri has killed many in the name of war. He's killed even more in the name of his family. Worse, he seemed to enjoy the acts at some points to the worry of others. Despite the way he tries to come across as noble and put together, there is a darkness in him that can't be denied.

Background: here's a wiki link, bam. also, here's a an info post I made for funsies.

Personality:

• Serious/Uptight. Dimitri tends to approach everything with a certain sense of gravity. Due to his role as heir to throne and future king, he grew up scrutinized more than others around him might be. While he can be genuine and sincere to a fault, he oftentimes apologizes for speaking the truth as if he shouldn't. While he appreciates others being frank with him, he can get quite flustered (or, on the flipside, angry) when pushed about what he actually thinks and feels.


• Chivalrous. While he may not have the social graces he wishes he did at this age, Dimitri was still raised with the ideals and beliefs of chivalry. Being brought up in the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus meant that it was ingrained in him from an early age what a knight, or in his case a future king, should be. It was expected of him to hold a certain image of propriety and selflessness.


• Mental instability. Unfortunately, chivalry ended up being a double-edged sword that sliced him through. One noteworthy consequence of this is that he suffers from survivor's guilt after losing his family in the Tragedy as Duscur. He felt and still feels sometimes as though there were others far more deserving than him who should have lived. As a result of his guilt, he hallucinates the ghosts of his family members and claims they speak to him.


• Self-loathing. When he succumbed to his inner demons, Dimitri felt like a failure to his family, to his people, and to himself. The toxic, pervasive notion of the chivalrous man that he believed he fell short of has begun to lead him down a dark path of self-hatred. He has shown that he sometimes does not care for anything but bloodshed and vengeance; he is ashamed of the monster that he has become in some ways and kills to try and appease the cries of his late family. Dimitri has a low opinion of himself and can struggle with his sense of self-worth and feeling deserving of any good things.

(This also can be used in place of a traditional personality section.)

Abilities:

• Crest of Blaiddyd. The Faerghus royal family’s Crest, inherited from Blaiddyd of the 10 Elites. Occasionally doubles Atk and weapon uses for combat arts. The downside is that weapon durability goes down faster because of this so he breaks things easy.
  
• Great Lord. This is Dimitri's "class" but basically all that means he's good at using swords, lances, and has natural authority.
  
• Royal Lineage. In game, this will translate to him learning his powers just a little bit faster/easier!
  
• Charm. Those around him have a 10% chance of avoiding attacks better and their own attacks are more accurate.
  
• Lancefaire. He's good with that lance.
  
• Defiant Strength. Kind of what it says on the tin, when he's injured or struggling he'll get a sort of second wind of strength.
  
• General. He tends to have a natural command and can better lead/protect troops.
  
• Atrocity. A combart art (attack) unique to Dimitri and his relic weapon.

Inventory:

• Lance.. Just a regular steel lance instead of his super cool bone one for now, alas.
  
• Armor. He'll have come in wearing his trademark academy armor.

Notes: Dimitri suffers from ageusia, which means he can't taste things! No wonder he's so sad all the time, food is amazing and I'd be miserable too if I couldn't taste stuff.
