CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Clamor Ventus
Canon: Elsword
Canon point: Liberator path; the end of Noah's Master Road questline
Age: Unknown; mentally and physically he's somewhere in his 20's, though if we're taking things literally then he's over 1,000.

History:

Clamor was a half-elf born during the pre-Nasod era of the Elrian Kingdom, enrolled at the prestigious Seven Tower as a scholar of magic. As a specialist in spirit-magic and automated magic devices, he was approached by The World's Most Suspicious Dark-Cloaked Cultist Bad Guy to design a weapon that could be infused with an artificial spirit—he would realize far too late that a real soul would also do, and that this was their original intention all along. After handing over the blueprints, he was promptly knocked out, murdered, and used as the first test subject. Luckily(?), he had tampered with the spell at the last minute in an attempt to dissuade them from using it, so he was spared the indignity of being used for evil and instead ended up sealing himself away. RIP.

Roughly 1,000 years later, Clamor would be found by a boy named Noah Ebalon in some ancient ruins, eventually leading to the seal on his consciousness finally being released. After sorting out his situation and getting to know his new partner, they realized that they both had a beef with the same shitty cult. They've been travelling together since, investigating the cult in order to stop them from ruining any more lives and (to a lesser degree) looking for a way to get Clamor back in a normal body again (though he's kind of given up on that himself, and really, half the reason he's here is because Noah is sixteen and should not be fighting evil cults without adult supervision!!).

Personality:

An idealist at heart, Clamor has always strived for the betterment of the world around him. He chose to work with magitech because he wanted to create things that could help people: simple devices that performed simple tasks, but would be incredibly useful to those who were less fortunate. He wants nothing more than to be able to help people, and he's proud of what he's managed to accomplish—until everything went horribly, horribly wrong, anyway.

He cares deeply for the needs of others, but it's difficult to say how he feels about himself. When asked about his family and upbringing, he shares that he had no siblings, and that his relationship with his family was... complicated. As a half-elf, Clamor is gifted with magic and shares many traits with his elven relatives, but one thing he didn't inherit was their longevity. He goes so far as to compare himself to a pet—in the eyes of the elves who can live for centuries, Clamor's life would be over in no time at all. Feeling that the difference in perspective created too large of a rift between them, he chose to remain in Seven Tower even after the rest of his elven clan chose to leave, saying that he wished to live with people who had the same "time" as him.

You'd think that would mean he had people he cared about at the Tower, but his classmates also treated him poorly, accusing his half-elven blood for being the only reason he was allowed to enrol while also scorning him for not being a "real" elf. He didn't seem to have any friends at all, really, preferring to spend his time buried in his research or helping out his professors. Still, he didn't let this attitude get to him, nor did he let it discourage him from pursuing his own goals. If anything, he saw it as another reason to push himself to greater heights. Having lived his life being looked down upon, he wanted nothing more than to be able to prove himself—that someone like him could still be useful, even if he wasn't a pure-blooded elf or Elrian.

It's this idealistic desire to be useful that brought about his downfall, though, and allowed his pride to become a double-edged sword. For a scholar who works tirelessly to reduce the burdens of others, he sure is reluctant to ask for help. Even upon realizing that his invention could be used for evil, he never tried to ask for outside help or advice—he did everything he could to prevent it from being misused, but he still made the idiot move of trusting that the person he was working for maybe had good intentions, tried to warn them about the potential flaws, and was somehow surprised when he got himself killed for his efforts. He's smart enough to recognize when something is suspicious or unrealistic, but he's still a bit naïve when it comes to approaching these types of things, and he gives way too much leeway for people to prove themselves.

He's an honest person, but he's also not above white lies. Especially when it comes to Noah, there are plenty of moments where he's lied or downplayed his own problems solely to keep his young friend from worrying. He'd much rather put up a cheerful, positive front to keep his companions' spirits up whenever possible. It's not entirely a front, either—he does genuinely think it's better to stay positive, and he prefers to focus on what he can do in the future rather than dwelling on mistakes of the past. Sort of, anyway. He doesn't always manage to follow his own advice, and he still feels a great deal of guilt for the damage his inventions have caused in the years he's been sealed away. He does want to make up for the damage he's caused, though, even if he can't undo what's already been done. He has a similar approach to his own unfortunate circumstances: he doesn't believe there's a way to return to his real body (he's dead, after all), and he has no desire to return to his original era or try to fix his past. Instead, he sees his new life as a second chance, as well as an opportunity to make up for those mistakes.

To those he's friendly with, he can bit a bit of a tease and quite sarcastic. He's very long-winded and prone to lectures if you get him on a topic he's passionate about, or if he feels that the knowledge would be useful to the other person. He's also a huge nag, maybe even a bit of an overbearing guardian at times, though considering his existence as a weapon means that he's glued to Noah's side at all times it's somewhat understandable that he'd be more aware of his partner's needs. He does have a lot of patience as well, though, and doesn't mind offering his help or encouragement whenever a problem comes their way. Obviously, he's pretty good with kids.

Powers/abilities:

Clamor is a scholar of magic, specializing in spirit-based magic and magitech devices. He's very skilled at his craft, though he prefers more mundane and practical inventions—for example, a self-sweeping broom or a lamp that lights itself when approached. He's shown some talent for other types of generic magic as well, such as breaking/creating protective spells, magical cryptography, extremely basic elemental attacks, etc... but really, he's very much a non-combatant. He has plenty of magical knowledge, just don't expect him to be much help in a fight.

Ironically, his soul has been trapped in a magic sickle of his own design (whoops!). In his current form he can speak telepathically to anyone touching his weapon-body and move around by floating, albeit very slowly. He can still perform magic, though it's more difficult for him to pull off complicated spells. An alternate timeline implies that overexerting himself would risk shattering his form, effectively killing him if the damage is too severe, so. Bad idea.

His weapon form is bound to his current partner and wielder, Noah Ebalon. Fun perks of this bond include: being able to speak without direct contact, being affected by Noah's weird time travel magic (which mostly just means that Clamor can remember things between timehops, so I won't get into it any more than that), and any spell that targets Noah's mind will generally have an effect on Clamor as well (ie. an illusion targeting Noah will also pull in Clamor).

He also functions as a very large, pointy object with which to stab things.

All that aside, and as funny as it would be to leave him like that, I'll be humanizing (half-elfinizing?) him on arrival.

Questions:
✽ What does your character consider to be their top three strengths?

Intelligence, level-headedness, and morality.

✽ What do others consider to be your character's greatest weakness?

He tends to try and take on everything by himself rather than turn to others for help, especially when those others happen to be younger than him. A mix of pride and selflessness—he doesn't want to burden others with his problems, and he also wants to be able to prove he can fix his own mistakes.

✽ What are your character's three greatest fears?

1. Having one of his creations be used to hurt others (oops).
2. Not himself dying, since he already did that once and tbh he's kinda over it, but definitely having someone else he cares about die.
3. Being stuck in a state where he's conscious but unable to communicate or interact with others. It's like dying, but it never ends!!

✽ What would your character choose for a last meal?

i'm gonna be real i've got no idea since he never really talks about his tastes and doesn't currently have a mouth in canon. He says he's not picky though, so like... probably something with a lot of flavour? He did literally die in canon and welp, can't taste anything now that he's a big ol' sickle, probably regretting not trying more stuff while he could. On the bright side, it doesn't have to be healthy if it's a last meal!

✽ Has your character ever killed? If so, how did that affect them? If not, how would it affect them?

haHA absolutely not, he's no fighter despite having been turned into a literal weapon. He comments on how fighting monsters is a pretty stressful experience for him (though to be fair, they are a lot closer when he's the thing being swung around to kill them) and he's basically never been in a serious fight prior to joining up with Noah. As for if he could kill someone... he's way too gentle and already feels guilty for indirect harm he's caused, so there's pretty much no way he could intentionally Do A Murder. If something did cause him to kill a person anyway, he'd be wracked with guilt and probably freak out about it immediately.

✽ If your character was given one selfish wish (eg. must be applied to themselves and not affect others), what would it be?

Well. Getting his real body back, for sure, though the whole "can't be for someone else" clause would be a huge deciding factor. He's absolutely the type to try and put others' needs before his own.
