Character: Dio Eraclea
Series: Last Exile
Character Age: 19
Canon: Last Exile starts in an hourglass world called Prester, where people take to the skies in small vehicles called Vanships. Prester is governed and ruled by the aristocratic Guild and its less than sane queen, Maestro Delphine, neither of whom give a damn for those who live on the ground, and are able to clip their metaphorical wings at any time they please. Following a war and the activation of the mysterious immigration spaceship, Exile, the Guild is beaten and the people of Prester return to their home planet of Earth. And then more war happens, because those who never left Earth aren't very happy with those who did.

As part of the Guild, Dio was raised spoiled and privileged; despite that, all he wishes is to be free to soar the skies, and he's a much happier person when around the common folk and their common lives than he is with the Guild. He fears his older sister Delphine, and the life that she will force upon him when he comes of age. He can be a bit eccentric, laughing and treating many things like a child's game, and showing little concern for the personal space of others. He tries to capture the attention of the protagonist after he becomes enamored with his flying skills, following him onto a battleship and showing off his own piloting capabilities (as Dio can be a bit competitive, too). Despite the facepalm that he invokes with his overly carefree, childish actions, Dio's actually a skilled pilot and practiced in the ways of war. But as he says himself, he doesn't really care about all that, and prefers to sing birthday songs to himself, hang around (and on) his friends, and fly freely in a peaceful sky with both his head and his hands in the clouds.

Sample Post:

I've been invited to a really interesting thing! It's called the putting the camp back in Camp Fuck You Die experience. This place looked so boring from above when I first flew over, but now that I've been taught all about how to go camping, it sounds really fun! There are usually trees and rivers and bears instead of wheat and corn and cows made out of metal, so there are probably things we have to do differently. But, there'll still be tents and campfires and exploring - I bet there are tons of interesting things to see in those fields, too!

But going in without any protection is a bad idea, that's why I have to pick a couple of things up that I've been asked to bring along, first. I hear that you can get some really bad bites from the things literally crawling around out there, so ZOM-B-GONE repellent is very important to have! Even though the ones that I've seen crawling are really slow because they don't have any legs. They should really be asking for new legs instead of brains, because they'll never get brains unless they're able to move faster! But without brains, I guess they can't think of that themselves... Anyway! The most important thing I need is a sleeping bag, and there's a special 'spoon friendly' type we've been told to get just for this occasion. I'm not sure how they're different from normal sleeping bags, but it's going to be an interactive partner project when we learn how to sleep in them properly tonight! Even sleeping sounds like it'll be a fun thing to do!

There, everything's ready! Now I just need to find my way to the camping area with this map. It's the final task before you've proven yourself fit for this experience! First, move away from all of the cabins and past the silo, and make sure you have your handy whistle ready just in case of-- eeh, what's that word? Marcy...lesta...tion? I've never heard of that before, but I'm sure I can take whatever it is if it tries to sneak up on me! We're going to need a fire to cook and keep warm when it gets dark, so I should pick up as many sticks as I can on the way. Like they said, you can't get hot until you rub your sticks together for long enough. I hear it gets cold here at night, so I hope that spoon friendly means that the sleeping bags are extra warm! Hey, you sing songs around campfires, too, don't you? I've never done that before, maybe we can even make some up tonight. A song about the large, purple beasts that have been abducting people at night! They're climbing in your windows~ they're snatching your people up!

Ah--! I think I've found the campsite! And nobody else is here yet, that means I'm the first-place winner! I bet I can impress everyone and make them feel like slow-pokes if I'm all set up and camping before they even get here. Let's see... make sure the area is clear, hold onto the rod, then...

Hmm, maybe I'll save this part for when everyone else gets here. I'm pitching a really big tent, so the more hands I have to keep it up, the better!
