[Personality]
From how he was raised, Emil never had the chance to truly speak up for himself and always ended up following what others said as a way to avoid conflict. Although he may still apologize every now and then, it's not nearly as much as he used to. Through his stay in Somarium as well as the time spent back home though, he's learned this is no way to live through life. He has his own thoughts of what's right and wrong as well as responsibility. Though he may still flinch a little at conflict he's learned to stand his ground for what he believes in. The saying that Richter taught him about courage is something he takes to heart, fully believing in it.
He is still a very kind soul. He doesn’t like hurting others and dislikes violence. If he had his choice then he would prefer trying to talk someone out of what they're doing or at least learn the reasons why. Only then would he resort to fighting if there was no other way. Emil used to be your typical scaredy-cat but through his adventures has slowly learn to face up to his fears and insecurities, seeing that sometimes if you meet the problem halfway, things tend to work out much like how he was able to face his uncle and aunt making up with them both. Thanks to that he also gained true friends through his journey's and learned to open up more to them about things. Having known what it was like to have no friends, he values them all the more not wanting to lose or betray them if possible.
Living in Luin, he was the outcast of all outcasts. Everyone pretty much ignored him or mocked him. Because of this, his social skills are slim to none making him a bit socially awkward. Even with all of his adventures, his social skills are still a bit lacking as he’s easily embarrassed and often ends up either saying the wrong or too honest thing or flailing and not knowing what to say at all. Even with the awkwardness, his pure honesty is something that still carries through what he says. Most of the time it's his honesty that helps others get through things and what helped Marta.
If there’s one thing that’s definitely grown, it’s his determination. His search for identity was answered with him being the Summon Spirit Ratatosk, but also with memories of what he did just before turning into a core. The action that killed Aster, Richters best friend; Using Marta as a diversion to keep himself safe; The anger towards mankind. In his mind he's the only one that can atone for what he, his other self have done. Emil went as far as sealing his other self, locking him up by force in order to protect his friends and the world, despite feeling very guilty over doing so. He didn't think anyone deserved that, even Ratatosk. It was wrong. But, he made plans to use himself as a lock to the Ginnungagap as his way of atoning and taking responsibility.
There's not much that can make Emil mad as he generally is good at keeping his cool despite most of the chaos around and involving himself. Still if someone had to name a something it would be harming those important to him. He's willing to go to great length's to protect them. What hurts him most is that he knows the conflicts between what he feels is his responsibility and how he will potentially hurt all of his friends by doing so, knowing it's wrong but feeling there's no other way to keep them safe overall. Even before that decision, he dealt with the slowly growing fear of hurting someone he cares about or going too far in his Ratatosk-Mode. For the longest time this was a fear he actually kept to himself, not wanting to burden or trouble the others when he himself didn't really know what was going on. Though as mentioned before he's more open to his friends, but will still keep something from them if it's really important. As an honest person he's not that good at lying, but knows how to keep something to himself.
[Specialties/Abilities] Emil has tons of artes he can use being Ratatosk as well as from training, one of his abilities is to make pacts with monsters.
[Affection] SORRY HE'S TAKEN-- no but seriously he'll just flail a bit if he doesn't know you well but otherwise is fine with
[Fighting] Won't fight if he doesn't have to but feel free to if the situation calls for it. Just contact me for near death or dying incidents /o/
[Other Permissions] I'm pretty flexible but let me know what you have in mind before hand.
[Other Facts] He actually transform into his coreform when he's taken critical damage to recharge. Destroying that is what really kills him
