AELEUS IS AMAZING AND I'M SAD I'LL NEVER GET TO...
I love that you love him so much! It’s wonderful that there’s cute fanart of him and how awkward he is after years and years of not having any fanstuff of him because of extremely limited character development.
THATS THE BEST THING LIKE,
there is! there is development there! you just have to look and piece it together yourself so just like his puzzles he plays with in manga’s canon, it’s a bit of a fight to get there LIKE
CANONICALLY, FOR WHAT WE KNOW:
Aeleus [pre-fall]: - Ansem’s favorite pupil - was a pupil in general, not just a guard - the last to fall [the ‘stoic’ one being the hardest to have fall to darkness] - body placed between Ienzo and where the threat would’ve been - doubled as a groundskeeper in RG
Lexaeus: - Only Trusts Zexion - willing to help those lower than him [Roxas] though he lacks the heart to really take caution with it [re: the backhand]. It was an attempt tHELP him, he didn’t just whack him around for hte fuck of it; it was to make sure he knew how to limitbreak. It was to ASSIST. - died when he charged ahead to try to eliminate a threat before it got to Zexion - fucking apologized as he died to Zexion for not being strong enough - is able to shut Vexen up by saying “Don’t” - is envious of Riku’s connection to the darkness because it gave him the strength he desired (to protect? idk this part is me wingin it, not straight out canon)
Aeleus [recompletion]: - sticks to Ienzo like glue - has face journeys rather than speaks [his shy side coming out] - STILL super struggles with the light/dark aspect of everything, and finds beauty/comfort in both so he’s emotionally torn between the two
THERE IS SO MUCH FUCKING THERE
BUT DUE TO LIMITATIONS OF BEING A SIDE CHARACTER, ITS NOT FOCUSED ON. AND HOLY SHIT THERE IS JUST. SO MUCH THERE? HE’s designed with a samurai mentality which adds it’s own category of AAAAAAAAA to it all and im!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I M !!!!
