In-Character Information

Name: Innes
Game/Series: Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones (Fire Emblem 8)
Teacher/Student/Other: Student
Canon Point: End game, Eirika+Innes A support ending, during the reconstruction and before he attempts to best Ephraim. (I can’t see him leaving after marrying Eirkia, so it has to be before) He's been sent to Smash to become more refined and work on his poor communication skills.
Age: 18 (estimated age as per support conversations)
Grade Level/Class Taught/Job: College freshman
Dorm or Living Arrangement: Surprise me.

Personality:
Innes has to be best. Always. His arrogance isn’t unfounded, however. Innes is an excellent archer, besting even the best archers when he was still a kid. His skill is unparalleled. He’s also an excellent strategist, able to think quickly and efficiently about complex situations. It’s given him a bit of a complex and started a heated rivalry between him and Ephraim (it’s friendly, but heated). He wants to be best at everything and wants to be right about everything. It frustrates him when he’s told he’s wrong (like when Eirika pointed out that he couldn’t protect her from the front as she was close-range and he was long-range) sometimes to a point where he might “…” at things.

Innes is Mr. Serious to a point where he comes across as humorless and austere. He doesn’t seem to have much in the sense of humor. It’s not that he doesn’t understand the jokes, they’re just useless nonsense. While his intentions are actually very good, his words come across as harsh and uncompromising, generally to the point of being a total douche. He tells Tana (his sister) to get off the battlefield and go home. He declares he’ll protect Eirika, without as much giving her a choice in the matter. He’s very forceful with his words, and his interpersonal skills generally suck. He takes a long time to warm up to someone (if he ever does). For the most part, he just seems like an angry douchebag.

Innes is also a very dedicated (perhaps even stubborn) person. When attacked in Carcino, he claims he doesn’t know the meaning of surrender and that he’d crawl back to Frelia if he had to. (Even his death quote was along the same lines). Despite his poor interpersonal skills, Innes is also very dedicated to his own army and allies. He’d give his life to protect them, though he does his best to avoid putting everyone in that sort of situation. When someone does manage to get close to him, Innes softens up, showing that more caring dedication he has towards his allies and friends. Unfortunately that’s often met with his poor communication skills, and he doesn’t quite come across as sincere as he’d probably like. He's got a good heart; it's just damn near impossible to see it.


Backstory:
Innes was born eldest to King Hayden of Frelia and is the heir to the throne. Some point after that, his sister Tana was born.

When Innes and Tana were quite young, Tana had been playing with the crown and lost it. Innes found out and went searching for it. When he found it, he claimed he’d taken it to see how it looked on him.

Not too long later, when Innes was somewhere around 8 or 10, a foreign archer came to Frelia and Innes demanded to challenge him. So the two had a contest, and were evenly matched. Innes began wearing the foreigner down, much to the foreigner’s frustration. So for the last target, the foreigner placed the target at a nearly impossible distance. The foreigner shot the arrow straight, barely hitting the target. Innes shot upwards towards the sky, landing the arrow on the target almost perfectly. Win: Innes.

Though it is unknown when, Innes develops a rivalry with Ephraim.

Fast forward to present time, Year of the Stone 803. Renais was suddenly sieged by their long-time ally, Grado. Eirika was forced to flee to Frelia for help. After a short stay, she left to find her brother. When she and Ephraim are reunited, the two ask for help from neighboring kingdoms. Enter Innes. As a plan to quickly warn and enlist the help of allies, the three split up, sending Innes off towards Carcino, where he and his army are viciously attacked by a band of mercenaries. Eirika arrives just in time to help out and rescue Innes’s army.

Anything Else?:

In-Character 1st person sample:

[ It hadn’t been long since Innes’s arrival in the strange land. He hasn’t quite been adjusting well to much of anything, save being best at his class. He’s a master archer, tactician, and prince. He expects nothing less than being best.

Socially, however, he was a complete failure, and as evidenced by the sharp frown drawn across his features, he’s once again having issues with his roommate. ]

This is nonsense. How could one continue to live this way? It's clearly obvious that food does not belong on the floor, and yet this roommate of mine hardly understands this. Obviously someone needs to go to common sense class.

These Hands, they hardly care that this roommate of mine hardly understands this is not a dumping ground, it is a living area. Multiple requests have fallen on deaf ears. Clearly there is a lack of concern in this land, unbecoming of leaders.

[ Innes omitted the reason why he’d been sent here. It was hardly necessary for these people to know of his father’s rather unusual reasoning. It was his father’s wish and far be it from the prince to go against his father’s request. ]

I will be taking over the archery field. All others should step aside or get out. Don’t even bother challenging me in a contest for the control of the field as once again, you will lose. I am the best archer and there is no way you can deny this.


In-Character 3rd person sample: He needed refinement. Well at least that’s what they told him before sending him off to this odd school. Innes frowned sharply. It was nonsense. He was quite well refined and perfectly ready to ascend to the throne, but apparently his father saw otherwise. It was all just nonsense, but as the respectful prince he was, he conceded to his father’s rather frustrating wishes.

This place, this Final Destination City, it was all so foreign to him. The buildings were rather unimpressive. The people dressed strangely. And those horseless chariots? What nonsense was that?

With the help of an uncomfortably friendly local, Innes found his way to the dorm room. He carried little with himself: two bows, arrows, some tools for maintaining his equipment, and some clothing. The rest he could purchase within the city as need be.

Innes was not fond of the idea of sharing a room with someone. It wasn’t the small space that bothered him – traveling required him to take up residence in a tent – but this wasn’t a tent, this was a room. He liked his space. He wasn’t particularly good at meeting new people either. His ability to socially communicate was rather pathetic to a point not even his own sister understood his intentions. A new person wouldn’t even begin to understand him. He’d simply have to push this other person away and hope he or she left him alone. With his luck, that probably wasn’t going to happen.

Regardless, he surveyed the room. It wasn’t exactly much to take in. Small, currently quiet, with a fair amount of light shining in from a small window. The roommate seemed to be well settled in and rather messy. There wasn’t much of a floor to speak of, as it was covered with papers, homework, and dirty laundry. Innes frowned sharply. Was there no one caring for the tidiness of this room? Innes could live in some bad conditions but this was pushing it.

This was going to be a trying experience...
