{Hero Archetypes: The More... something version}

The Fallen Hero You are the Fallen Hero, a tragic embodiment of betrayal, vengeance, or perhaps a heart-wrenching love story turned awry. Whether exposed to corrupting influences, manipulated by deal-makers, brainwashed, extorted, blackmailed, or witnessing the destruction of sacred bonds, your descent into darkness is marked by profound sorrow and loss. You might have turned for the sake of greed. Yet within, a lingering spark of hope remains, compelling you to reluctantly extend assistance to the newcomers. Motivated by the sincere desire to shield them from the same tragic fate you endured, you find yourself driven to guide and protect, despite the shadows of your own past.

#quiz #((*taps fingers together* I have;;; thoughts on this #so this isn't. quite accurate for Gylfie as she does have morals and does act for what is good #which is going against Vayne and fighting for all of Ivalice instead of continuing to blindly go with Archadia's expansion #because she knows Vayne will destroy Ivalice in his constant need for power and Archadia will devour herself before she's full #so Gylfie never fell in the sense of turning on what is right and following Vayne without question #or continuing to believe that it was the destiny of the Empire to conquer all #with that all said - I can see her having a corruption arc and I think that'd be fun to explore heh #but also this is accurate with how Gylfie sees *herself*#I really should write a post about this at some point lol #but Gylfie doesn't believe herself to be a good person whatsoever. She used to believe Archadia was the best of the best for *years*#and felt it appropriate for the Empire she loved so much to continue her expansion and that Rozarria was 100% the enemy #and... never thought twice about the smaller kingdoms caught in the warpath #her mother's criticism of Archadia slowly began to chip at that but she wasn't disillusioned until Nabudis because *that*#was something she absolutely couldn't get behind no matter how she felt about the Empire. it was a horrific and brutal act that greatly #disturbed her and really snapped her out of it #also Ffamran leaving did make her start to question things a bit but not quite enough #anyway my point is: Gylfie doesn't believe herself to be a good person. she believes herself to be a *product* of war #to be too much like her father to be a good person #and that she's done so much harm that there is no room for her to be good #with that said she doesn't necessarily see herself as a horrible person but. definitely not a good one #and ABSOLUTELY doesn't see herself as *any* kind of hero - she'd honestly just laugh if someone called her one #but she had been brainwashed essentially and she had witnessed destruction of sacred bonds #and she has acted selfishly and she has done horrible things in the name of the Empire #but she also tries so hard to do *right* despite it all. she *wants* Archadia to be better #she *wants* Ivalice to remain whole and she does what she can to see Vayne defeated and Archadia changed for the better #her goal of becoming Judge Magister changes from her believing it was her birthright to her wanting to be one to make sure Archadia #stays on track and continues to do better under Larsa's rule because she knows he'll make the Empire *better*#and she's willing to do whatever she can to protect him and protect Archadia's future #but with that she may have to do things that wouldn't necessarily be considered *good*
