Character: Ain, typically from the Bluhen Route, this will be explained shortly
Canon: Elsword
CR: Haha okay. Buckle up this is an essay.
If you have paid attention to my ramblings in the Discord at any one moment you probably know some/most of this but: Elsword has a lot of canon-AUs, like, a lot even just for one character. I play Ain from the Bluhen route primarily, which is considered the canon-canon route in the game's main story. Bluhen route is basically "Ain decides he really likes humans and his human friends especially, says 'fuck it' to his mission given to him by God, and agrees to follow them into hell" and also "he's a healer because he loves them so much he wanted to protect them so he became their group doctor".
Also, he is obviously an angel but I think at this point we have largely covered that too. He is sweet but can be passive-aggressive and generally loves to fuck with people, he has a difficult time grasping emotions often, he has an anxiety disorder, and his definition of friendship is incredibly nebulous. Some of you have already gotten this but Ain very rarely registers negative CR, you can yell at him all you want but he'll sit there like :D we're friends! because his canon group of idiots are always arguing about something and this is just friendship to him. He... has only been around humans for 5 years he doesn't get it, okay.
Currently for Stix: He part-time works at the clinic alongside PV, but most of the time he can be found at the tailor shop which he runs with Isa. He now lives at the bunny bakery with Ezell & FB too, but his upgraded inn room is still used sometimes for more storage for his plants + his animals use it as their own room sometimes.
Plans: SO! AU EVENT!! Ain will be horizontally moving to the Opferung route which I will be playing on my Opferung journal andacht hooray! The key differences between Bluhen Ain and Opferung Ain are:
He is significantly more unhinged. Basically this route is the one where mom (God) stopped answering his calls, and instead of being like "eh okay I'll just love on humans then" Ain decided to go completely off the deep end and went insane, started blowing up parts of the planet to try to get God to talk to him again because "any attention works", and then started to hate humans instead.
That said, he does have a certain uh. Yandere route type of obsessiveness going on. I will have to jiggle him a little bit so he doesn't blow the setting up. Everyone must emotionally prepare for him to be constantly clinging onto one of his typically liked people, which I will carry over from existing CR.
This also means he might bite your character but I'll ask first before he starts sinking his teeth in lmao.
On the inverse Opferung is very much like "negative CR sticks" so @ Stan I'm so sorry Ain might be aggro @ you for a month
I think that's it lmao.
Not Seeking: n/a go nuts
