Character: Kor Meteor
Canon: Tales of Hearts R, canon point: before arriving on Minera, CRAU from Aefenglom
Age: 16
Background Information: Convenient Wiki Link
As for the CRAU, Kor's arc within Aefenglom consisted of him forming several tight magical bonds with close friends of his, as well as learning how to use magic, something he had no prior experience with, all for the sake of helping save a world suffering from a debilitating disease. This ultimately culminated in him attempting to find a way to use his magic to help healing the broken and fractured hearts of his friends, a concept he'll be continuing to explore as part of his arc within Songerein.
Personality: "The occupation aptitude analyzer has finally found one match. 'Hero.'" This single statement from Kunzite summarizes Kor to a T. He has a strong, kind heart that always reaches out to others. A kindness that doesn't differentiate between friend or foe, he's just genuinely a good person for the sake of it. Operating by the philosophy of "Always stop to help those in trouble." instilled into him by his grandfather, he never thinks twice about stepping in to help out, even if he doesn't really have a place in whatever conflict it is. Doing so has certainly earned him a place in the hearts of many people, and it's also almost gotten him killed a fair number of times. But despite how many setbacks he suffers, he never gives up. He always stands up again and keeps going.
"After all, Kor Meteor doesn't just try, he DOES." This sentence right here is Kor's catchphrase, uttered by him multiple times throughout the game, and it exemplifies his manner of living perfectly. He's filled to the brim with confidence, and believes he can do anything he sets his mind to. And to be fair to him, he usually does. Perhaps not right away on his first attempt, but due to his unyielding spirit, he'll keep trying until he pulls off whatever it is he's trying to do, whether it's recovering a shard of Kohaku's shattered Spiria, defeating a Xerom, or even saving the world. There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and honestly? Kor toes that line very closely, especially earlier on in the game. He believes in himself to the point that some people may even believe him to be full of himself. That is a trait he grows out of over time, though. Whereas earlier on he believes in himself, as he grows and forges bonds with his friends, he learns that a truly strong Spiria comes not from himself, but from the bonds he forges with his friends. At the beginning of the game, he knew no one. He was raised in a small town by only his grandfather, with no one his own age in the village. But thanks to his chance encounter with Kohaku, everything changed. He set out on a journey, forged a number of bonds with people, and as a result, became one of the strongest Somatics on the face of the planet. He became humbled about himself, and enlightened about the true nature of the world, of Somas and Spirias, and of himself and who he really is.
Of course, nobody's without flaws, and good lord does he have quite a few.
First and foremost, Kor is far too trusting. While it's true that his simplistic naivete and trusting heart is ultimately what draws his friends to stick with him through thick and thin, they also criticize him frequently for being far too accepting of what others tell him. Short of Incarose, who murders his grandfather, there isn't a single person on the face of the planet Kor doesn't end up implicitly trusting and believing in. Not the shady merchant, nor the guy who drugs them and hands them over to the army, nor even the main antagonist. And while it's not a bad thing to try and believe in the goodness of people, the logical reaction to someone you thought was your friend backstabbing you and kidnapping your girlfriend should NOT be to believe they're still a good person and that you need to convince them to come back to you.
On that note, he's also just... Okay, he's stupid. It's not even a case of idiot savant like many other protags seem to demonstrate, where they aren't terribly bright but do show hidden bouts of genius. Kor is just out and out dumb. Like was previously, he was raised in a small village his whole life, and he was never allowed to venture out into the outside world. There's so much of the world that he just plain doesn't understand. It's pretty telling of his ignorance that he's utterly astounded by a giant wall, when most of the party doesn't even bat an eyelash at it. He also has a habit of saying things and not realizing how bad they actually are. Case in point? He thought his grandfather being called a misogynist was a good thing because it meant he really enjoyed miso, not... well, you know. Plus there's him using "boneless chicken avocado shrinkage disaster" as an insult against someone because he heard it used in a bar fight once despite not knowing what it's supposed to mean.
On a final note, he was always taught that having a strong Spiria means not wavering due to emotions. That said? He's really emotional. Anytime Kohaku, or any of his friends, is in danger he's driven into a fit of uncontrollable anger, and a number of events drive him to tears, be they happy tears or sad tears, leaving the rest of the party exasperated at their crybaby of a leader. And when he's not either of those, he's almost always in a consistent state of excited happiness. He's like a puppy almost. Basically, there's no off or dimmer switch to his emotions, he goes full-force on them. Yet, despite how strongly he feels his emotions, he never lets them control him, having taken the idea of nurturing a "strong Spiria" to heart as his grandfather taught him.
Abilities & Inventory:
Abilities:
Swordsmanship: Trained by his grandfather, Kor is an expert swordsman, fighting with a classic gladiator-style sword and sword fighting style. He's fast, and strong, with honed reflexes that allow him to hold his own in a fight.
Somatic: His true talents come in the form of his usage of his Soma. Besides enhancing his physical attributes to well above average, it also allows him to perform a number of Artes in battle, ranging from multi-hit sword attacks and shield strikes, to lightning blasts and flame waves. As far as elements go, he skews towards fire, lightning, and light.
Spiria Link: His Soma also grants him some unique abilities through his usage and mastery of it. The first of which is the Spiria Link, which, as the name implies, allows him to 'link Spirias', (in his case, his to someone else). In doing so, he's able to venture inside their Spiria (his world's version of the metaphysical form of the heart), journey towards their core, witness memories and feelings, and most importantly, help them combat and overcome the root of their inner issues.
Somatic Bond: The second of which is the ability to form Somatic Bonds. This is the process by which two Spirias form a mutual connection with one another due to the immense trust and understanding they have for one another. This creates a sort of sixth sense between the two, allowing them to understand each others' feelings regardless of their distance from one another, and creating the sensation of a connection between them. From a gameplay perspective, it also enhances their ability to work together and even allows them to enhance each others' personal skills with their own.
Inventory:
Soma ("Asteria"): unique accessory from his world capable of creating a weapon.
Sorcerer's Ring: a ring capable of channelling and projecting small bursts of energy
Diary: it's a diary.
Suitability & Plans: Kor is a natural empath, and his abilities have an innate connection to emotions. Therefore, I'll think it'll be interesting to explore his character in a world where he feels simultaneously experienced and yet also out of his depth, understanding the importance of emotions but not how they might impact this world.
As far as plans, my two main goals are for him to build and strengthen his bonds with his friends here, and to try to use his abilities to improve Songerein, whether it's in a big way or small.
