hey Jas, happy STSunday lmao

Yilvar is such an interesting and complex character to me, i love him and deeply torment him

like, this man has four different elemental resonances through his life. that's three shifts. most people shift once at most. he's born with a fire resonance, shifts to water at five years old (one of the youngest shifts ever recorded), then to earth when his mother dies and he becomes the new figurehead and the shift into light takes from age nineteen to twenty

he's not a natural leader, neither of the political nor of the military kind. he really... was not made to lead a rebellion, and he struggles a lot with learning to be in that position and what to do, what to prioritize, what to say

it's a lot of rotten work, and he is deeply overwhelmed by it. especially because he "inherited" the revolution from his parents, and people expect him to lead like they did. but his parents were a knight of the First Order (his mother) and Zere's chief advisor on international politics (his father). Yilvar was born on the run, with little to no money, being taught to hide, run and cause a ruckus, and that getting caught means death. he wasn't taught diplomacy, he wasn't taught military strategy, he definitely wasn't taught how to interact with nobles and generals and political leaders. he learned all of that by sneaking into meetings he wasn't supposed to be in, by running out on the battlefield and copying what other team leaders were doing, and by surviving long enough to figure it out

what he's good at is connecting with the general public on an emotional level, and that's why he's used as a figurehead by the leaders of the kireis

he does get to a point where he's legitimately a decent strategist and diplomat. he's better in the field and out in a crowd, but he can work a war room or a diplomatic meeting. the other leaders just won't let him and don't generally listen to him, because they don't want him, they want his parents. which is why you get to the scene in An Oath On Bloodied Diamonds, where he snaps at the military leaders and goes "fuck all of you all, swear this fucking oath, i will do this one thing to prove myself to you and when i come back you do what i fucking tell you"

(fun fact: at the end of the piece, where the sword "grows hotter in his hand, sparking with lighter mana", you have the exact moment his resonance starts to shift into light :3 )

and then he actually comes back with the scepter of Ljus — which is an actually really powerful artefact, it's literally the old scepter of Ljus, Livi of Light also known as The Oracle of the Sky, so, y'know? — and starts to actually lead the rebellion, but this time in his style rather than trying to do what his parents would have done

which means a lot less "fair" fighting and a lot more hit and run tactics, bombs, sabotage, cooperating with civilian uprisings, working with assasins, bounty hunters and pirates, stealing supply lines and developing more and more technologically and magically advanced weapons. and using the scepter. the scepter can do some really funky things

so yeah, he's a people-person, incredibly stubborn and sneaky and chaotic, a little more violent than most people are comfortable with, and a practical learner with a lot of mistakes and grief on his back

as for if he wasn't the figure-head of the revolution, it's hard to say. he's influenced by the revolution just about as much as he influences the revolution is by him. which is a lot

he probably wouldn't have as many trust issues, and he'd be less jaded (he likes to call himself an optimist. he is not one. he could have been, in another life). more empathetic too. he naturally is, but he had to tune that down because he was literally too empathetic to lead the revolution. it was good as a publicity stunt as a figurehead but he was literally going insane with grief. even as is, after toning it down, after the war he has no children of his own and adopts, like seven or eight orphans. which is one of the reasons the Akarai family line is a fucking mess

he'd probably be a little less violent, but i can't see him any less prone to trickery, explosions or talking his way into the public's graces. if this version of him were a d&d character, he'd be a bard-artificer multiclass with a noble background. feel free to make assumptions based on that

I remember what you did to your oc bro ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ

Oh that one drawing !

that's actually an alternative timeline roleplayed with friends on Discord of my multiverse, where one of the characters ((Threat)) goes batshit and become a yandere ((this is kinda cringe ik but idk, I wanted to test that possibility in a roleplay))--

....

and god if you knew how i actually unintentionally developed some of them ((especially Revenge, aka Threat's victim love interest :3✨))

-how many alternate/hypothetical non canon ideas i have for them

Basic lore: The small crew of a local arcade all die in an unknown accident. Despite this tragic synopsis, the story is more on the humorous side of things, as all the characters are sent to a joint purgatory where they get to: Keep Working Customer Service!
