IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Asbel Lhant Age: 18 Canon: Tales of Graces Canon Point: Post Main Arc Species: Human Gender: Male, both physically and mentally. Orientation: Asbel is... oblivious? Throughout the main arc Asbel, aside from the many hints and jabs Cheria tries to conduct, never quite catches on. There are hints here and there regarding of flustered emotions, but those same actions can be seen with both Richard and Sophie. It is not until the Future Arc where it is implied that both Cheria and Asbel have a child together. Yet until that point, nothing is set in complete stone. So it may go either way. History:Wiki link get! Appearance:Image here.
On the surface, Asbel seems at first to fit the stereotypical role of an upright protagonist; one who is chivalrous and strong, yet is humble enough to give his time and protect those around him. So while all of these treats will match up, there lies a more deeper personality than what on the inside.
As a child, Asbel grew up in a wealthy and upright family as the successor to the Lord of Lhant. This caused the boy to become rebellious to his father and lead to leaving or doing things without permission simply because he opposed the plans for his future. Instead of becoming the heir to Lhant, he instead insisted on becoming a knight. That way he would be able to protect his friends and those he cared about. Though noble reasoning, it didn't stop him from acting against those trying to protect him from the constant disobeying. Because of this he involved both his younger brother Hubert and Cheria into all of his mischief (often times even sneaking out his room) leaving a sense of "my way or no way" mentally. He wasn't the type to listen, and often huffed of complained about unsatisfactory situations- most of which were not for his benefit. It was not until he came in contact with Sophie that his personality slowly began to morph into a different direction. With Sophie now accompany them as a new friend, his dedication to protect those he loved only became stronger, and in the end chose the path of a knight while giving up his rights to Lhant.
From there Asbel was able to train under Malik and brought up in the ways of chivalry. Asbel then became a much calmer person; not as quick to lash out at someone for a foul comment or confrontation. It also came along with a new set of manners by addressing people properly or thanking excessively. The boy is far more soft spoken then his former self, enabling him to get his point across without making too much of a fuss. He also is quicker to become embarrassed, often seen flushed about uncomfortable situations and upon being complimented. However some of his old antics still remain. For once the boy makes up his mind, there is little anyone can do to stop that. He is stubborn in his ideals and remains committed with a certain task at hand. He's not afraid to voice his opinion or step in when the time is right. If he feels that something must be done a certain way, than you can be sure that is the path he will most likely take, yet not without the counsel of his friends first (yet even then he will most likely do this own thing... hence being stubborn).
Asbel truly admires his friends and often times claims that he could do nothing without them. He treasures those he is close to, and offers his help and support to them and even someone in passing. Yet because of the people he stays with, he is able to grow stronger on a more personal level, and allows their influence to mold himself into a better person.
Though through all his knightly-like composure and good manners, this male is still quite childish. His actions lean more towards the carefree style of life, and often times can be seen trying to coordinate various victory poses for his teammates. Asbel is also one to trust very easily; taking someone's word rather than sneaking around to try to find their true motive. He is certainly not one to judge, and finds the genuine side of people rather than their faults. Not only that, but his overall thought process when it comes to protecting those around him. Malik himself claims that his ideals are too out of reach considering Asbel would like to "save everyone". Yet it is because of those ideals that makes his desire for protecting those around him grow even more.
Speaking of protecting people, that's the name of this game when it comes to this protagonist. All throughout his life he has wished to protect others, and he be sure to let those around him know just that. He pushes himself to become strong for others, and truly believes that by doing this he will help everyone he comes in contact with. Even in the case where Sophie's real identity had been discovered and her true purpose revealed, Asbel still continued to want to protect her despite Sophie claiming she had to kill herself in order to get rid of Lambda. Asbel refused to accept this proposal and instead searched for another way to protect Sophie in order to let her live. Yet his need to protect others can sometimes cloud his emotions and thoughts from anything else. Usually rash decisions are made and doesn't think about the actions he takes before he does them.
Asbel is, in every sense of the word, oblivious. Not only in his relationship to Cheria whom, many times through the game, tries to showcase her love toward the male... only to be brushes aside, but sometimes even the understanding of serious situations. Asbel may not catch on as quickly as the rest of his teammates to something going on, or even a motive for another person's doing. He's not an analyzer and therefore will leave it up to his brother to figure it out or stutters while trying to answer a difficult question. Yet aside from his natural flaws, Asbel still upholds the faith to trust that his brother will make the right decision just as he did in the past. He even admits he is not a smart as Hubert, yet is willing to work through his obvious flaws to make a medium between the two. Such as using his brute over smarts.
Like most men, as stereotypical as this may sound, have a hard time expressing what exactly they feel. This is no excuse when it come to Asbel himself. During times of great sadness of something that upsets him, he will usually hide his emotions and replace it with rage. He tends to be loud when upset, and even lashes out on occasions if such boundaries are overstepped. At one point Cheria even recognizes the boy's anger and informs Sophie, whom Asbel was currently upset over at that time, stating, "Men are... bad at feelings. Sometimes getting angry is all they really know." Yet these feelings are usually sort lived and Asbel is able to understand his rash feelings and apologize.
Although those hard male emotions can get in the way, Asbel is actually very sympathetic. Towards the end of the game where the antagonize is established, the male instantly assumes that Lambda is just some big 'ol bad guy trying to destroy their world. Yet after peeking into his past and seeing the hardships Lambda had to face, he becomes sorry for him. Even in that situation with Richard stealing the eleth from their world, Asbel still saw the man as a friend and tried to save him despite all the harm he had caused to him and his friends. Asbel and able to forgive both of them despite their prior doings and have a heart to even the worst of kinds.
Overall Asbel is a kind, compassionate boy with a heard of gold. He tries, pushes himself too hard, yet in the end perseveres in his ideals and faithfulness for humanity.
Abilites:
Asbel has the ability of Artes which are skills throughout the Tales universe that enables someone to use certain hidden and strong techniques during battle. For basic artes Asbel has the sheathed blade artes which usually consist of kicking or even using his sheath as a weapon in battle, and drawn blade burst for when it is unsheathed. Mystic Artes are also another form, but in a much stronger sense which deals powerful blows from his sword that basis skills could not be obtained before.
Physically with the help of these artes Asbel is a quick fighter; using his sword with quick and agile movements to defeat an enemy. This compensates for his lack of book smarts with brute strength, and is able to use this to his advantage instead of something that requires a lot of prior knowledge.
Yet aside from the physical, Asbel as the ability of his words to persuade or get his point across. He may not be very talented when it comes to the domestic side of life, but while learning to be a knight some form of independent training may have been established. However, none of that is to say for certain. There is only derp.
Other:
Asbel has two different eyes which doesn't appear until the end of the Main Arc- one violet and the other blue. This is because when trying to protect his friend Sophie from sacrificing herself in order to defeat Lambda, the boy allowed Lambda to "look through his eyes" as the enemy sleeps dormant within him. Because Lambda has no proper form and can possess those he comes in contact with (usually those with a low will), Asbel let himself become the vessel while promising to always keep his guard up from Lambda as to not have him be fully taken over and in turn help destroy his world. Spiffy, huh? He also likes curry!
Aside from arriving in this world, claiming a new responsibility and being stripped from his friends, Asbel was surprisingly taking things well. That was, until a greater foe would come to match his intelligence of the unknown and force the male into a situation he was uncertain whether he could overcome— driving a car.
The male has examined it on all sides; poking and prodding the wheels and even tapping against the glass to peek inside. It didn't look dangerous, and from his deduction concluded that it was indeed for transportation. How it worked however... well, that was a different story.
"If only Pascal or Hubert were here. They'd know what to do about this..." His tone was drained, quickly passing a hand through this hair as he stood, perplexed near the driver's side. He couldn't recall anything like this where he had come from. Wagons, perhaps. Those had wheels certainly, but this was way too high-tech. Maybe it was made by the Americans? This did seem to be up their alley with how difficult and complex it seemed to be. Yet without the help of his friends to answer any of his rising questions, the boy was forced to push mattered into his own hands. "This is suppose to be for me, right?"
Asbel had already attempted to open the door by pulling on the suppose lever sticking out from the vehicle. Yet, much to his dismay, the car still refused to open. Maybe there was... a different way? So with that thought he began his own private investigation by tracing it back to his arrival. The car has a lock on it, right? And locks need keys to open them!
Yet upon using those keys to finally attempt to unlock the door, a strange noise began to erupt from inside— lights flashing and blinking rapidly in front of it. What... what was going on? The noise forced the male to sputter back, staring wide eyed at the mess he had caused. He wasn't going to get in trouble with the neighbors, was he?
"A-an alarm!? Hey, no one told me about that!" Maybe... he should just walk from now on.
