Ah, wait is that where you press to... oh, it looks like it's recording now. Oh well~! This is Fai D Flourite's answering thingie, and since I am not responding right now you will have to assume that I'm frightfully busy... well, or asleep. Or out. This thing is very small and easy to forget. Anyway, do leave a message, and I will get back to you as soon as I can!
SCORCHED INFO
Character name: Fai D Flourite.
Fandom: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
Timeline: After they leave Recort/Lecourt, pre-Tokyo. Volume 14.
Character's age: He is mentioned to already have lived many times more than a character that is probably around 20-30, so it’s safe to say he’s a couple of hundred years old.
Powers, skills, pets and equipment: Fai’s magic powers are not described in great detail, but he appears to be able to create protective spheres/shields, levitate, and attack with great magical force. He can also detect magic, spells and other kinds of powers. The only notable limitation to them seems to be that he cannot do healing magic. In The Sphere, obviously his ability to travel between dimensions would have to be nulled. He will arrive there from mid-travel, being transported between dimensions by someone else, and will essentially be dropped out of thin air in Anatole. As his powers are very clearly stated to be magic, they will be fucked with pretty badly by the mist. At this canon point, he will however not use magic at all unless circumstances force him to.
His magic is stated to be in the blue of his eyes, and if his eyes are compromised his magic might also be. However if his magic would be removed completely, he would die.
The only possessions he will have on him will be his Recort/Lecourt outfit, minus the hat.
Canon history: http://tsubasa.wikia.com/wiki/Fai_… (Background section and part of the Story section.)
Personality: Fai appears at first to be very agreeable, cheerful, nonchalant, and quite often rather annoying. And in a way, that is exactly what he is. Both this persona and the cold and distant one he displays when called out on his faked smiles and evasive ways seem to be parts of his personality that he enhances in order to not let people get too close. From what you see of his personality both before and after he actually needs to keep up such a façade, he actually is a very merry, playful person, even if that is not all there is to him.
Anyone who spends even a short amount of times with Fai will notice that despite his carefree demeanor, he is very perceptive, and very sensitive to the emotions of the people around him – as long as they do not pertain to him in person, where he seems to have a huge blind spot. He is highly intelligent and possesses a deep wisdom and understanding which he usually masks by acting as if he’s merely making wild guesses without substance.
Due to a very painful past fraught with loss and guilt, he has troubles letting people get too close, and sees it as his obligation to keep people at arm’s length lest he hurt them. He believes he is always going to be the cause of unhappiness in others, and it is very obvious that he hates himself for it, and regards his own life as not worth very much at all. He only really seems to care about the outcome of any fight if someone else’s fate hinges on it.
Despite his best efforts, Fai is a very affectionate person, and seems to attach himself to others very strongly and care very deeply for those that manage to get under his skin. He also genuinely seems to be concerned with the troubles of strangers, and he will unselfishly lend them a hand without being too concerned with what kind of discomfort this might bring him. However, Fai doesn’t see himself as kind (“I have never been kindhearted. All I’ve ever been is selfish”) and it is true that he is quite capable of lying repeatedly to his friends and through omission and passivity put them in harm’s way if that means achieving what he truly desires. He seems to think that the fact that he cares about the people he deceives only makes him a worse person, and it could be argued that he has a point.
Since Fai has been a very lonely person all of his life, it is not strange that he is extremely protective – sometimes unhealthily so – about the people he cares about, and seems to suffer from rather severe abandonment issues, having great troubles letting go and letting others take care of themselves. His habit of distancing himself from others can be seen as an extension of this: He doesn’t believe that other people are capable of judging what is best for them, and so he makes the choice for them.
If someone gets too close, he will do this by either trying simply to deflect the question or change the subject completely, or on rare occasions when caught off guard, by revealing a small slice of the truth before quickly clamming up again, possibly in an attempt to confuse and deter further probing. At the point when he feels that he has become too important to someone, he will try to drive them off by becoming cold and heavily passive-aggressive, and by trying to do as much emotional harm as possible in an attempt to drive the person off. For their own good, of course.
He has two motivations at this point in cannon. The first is to evade his step-father Ashura, who wants Fai to kill him to escape a curse – even though Ashura has committed countless murders to try to force Fai’s hand, he cannot bring himself to hurt the first person except his twin who ever showed him kindness, the person that up to the murders had always taken care of and helped him. The second is trying to bring his dead twin back to life, not only because he loved him deeply and he for a very long time was the only person in his life that didn’t hate him, but because he believes he’s directly responsible for his death. Because of this, he is quite prepared to do almost anything, including seeing his own friends suffer… but only to a certain point.
At this point in canon, he is still in denial about how much he really cares about his friends – and about his capability to care at all – although he is very quickly nearing his breaking point. If someone manages to get close enough to him they might serve as a stresser the same way Kurogane does later in canon. Until then, he is going to keep up the smiling, unbothered act for as long as he can.
