#anselmthehunter

"You? Clearly. Sellie?" His voice falters for a moment, staring at the demonic rabbit in thought.

O u t O f C r o a k s :: I’d definitely have to think about it. My muse is a bit cautious around yours because of the manner in which they met. But, Frosk also warms up super easy to people who consistently show him kindness. It shouldn't be a problem. :)

"Um." He just shied away from Anselm. Frosk was pretty sure Anselm was a very nice person, but — he still associated Anselm with that uncomfortable day in the village. When he looked at the hunter something just tightened in his stomach as he recalled the fear and heartbreak. Even if it wasn’t Anselm’s fault, or his doing…

☻ :: Mood Headcanon

Frosk’s default mood is that of involved curiosity. He has a very proactive kind of personality and he’s generally motivated to learn new things, reach out to other people, and discover new sights and locations. Despite this, there’s an element of something timid to him as well. He stutters occasionally in social situations and often finds himself unsure around other people. He’s more than eager to accept new cultural standards at the drop of a hat but his fear is that he’ll incite temper or annoyance over misunderstandings. For the longest time he was also pretty much a “homebody” and refused to leave his forest (out of professed loyalty to the forest deity, or so he claims).

There’s also the very fact that Frosk is very dedicated in both purpose and spirit to "doing the right thing". He can’t really explain why he feels this compulsion towards higher virtue, he only knows that he believes very deeply in both honor and compassion, concepts he holds higher above himself as something to put faith in. Frosk is very quick to forgive, will desperately try to reason with most people he ends up in a fight with, and will pull out all the stops if he thinks for even half a second that he could save and redeem at least one person everyone else considers a lost cause.

In general, Frosk is very mellow and gentle, which is contrasted by peels of enthusiasm and a genuine appreciation for good company (despite feeling awkward at the idea of “socializing with others correctly”). He very rarely feels any sort of anger, instead defaulting to pity and sorrow whence others lash out at him.

 ☯:: Genderbent Headcanon

This one threw me for a bit of a loop and I’m not entirely sure what to say about this that won’t sound like I didn’t devote much thought to it. It’s the fact that this particular topic very much hinges on sexuality and gender identity, one of which Frosk sorely lacks awareness of.

The short of it is this; I really feel as though, if Frosk were female instead of male, he would not be all that much different from the individual he is now.

Frosk has a very summary gender identity. To put it quite bluntly, he is aware that there are two different types of people; one of them is male, the other is female. Aside from minor differences in appearance (girls tend to have long hair, girls have a different body shape, et cetera), he is unaware of what it is that makes males and females so different. He only knows that he is male because others have referred to him as a “he” in the past, and so he identifies himself as male without any further, more complicated thought devoted to the subject. It very literally is a, "I am what they tell me I am," attitude. If Frosk were female, his personality and outlook on his gender identity would be exactly the same.

However. That being said, if I had initially conceived Frosk as a female character instead of a male character his story and concept would be a bit different. I probably would have made him a priestess or a spellcaster of some sort, and his backstory of “died and was reborn” would likely be changed slightly to fit his gender as well; conquering armies tend to rape women and take them as slaves or unwilling wives. Hence, a tiny princess Frosk would’ve suffered a fate worse than death instead mere death. I envision that, if this was the case, Frosk’s mother would have actually smothered her daughter to spare her that fate, only to lay the body to rest in the forest — you know what happens from there.

 ☄:: AU Headcanon

I actually already have several AUs of Frosk thoroughly thought out; I’ve roleplayed him at a Team Fortress 2 forum in the past and I also conceived an AU version him for Final Fantasy VI’s setting. In The TF2 setting he’s the hilarious results of a science experiment gone awry, and he goes on to become “demofrog”. 

Now, in the Final Fantasy VI setting he’s an esper, and his personality is quite different. He’s far more serious and far less naive as he’d be one of the very last espers alive, the survivor of a genocide perpetrated by Kefka and subsequently the apocalypse. He was charged with the care of esper younglings and, during the chaos surrounding the events at Thamasa, he stayed behind to take the younglings somewhere safe until the fighting blew over. When the party runs into him (hypothetically) following the apocolypse he’s hiding out in the forest on the continent north of the Veldt where he looks after and protects a few orphaned esper young he managed to save. He still wields a spear, carries with him several magicite shards (including one of a giant tree-esque esper) and is capable of casting primarily white magic. His profile and spell list is as follows ——>
