Other Characters: Nero, Ayato, Arno
Character Name: Argenti (that's my third A in my roster someone please tell me to find new muses)
Canon: Honkai Star Rail
Canon History: He's so stupid I'm sorry
Canon Personality:
🌹 Exceptionally golden retriever dog-coded.
- Like, energetic and loud and has no qualms of being seen as odd or annoying.
- He speaks elegantly and tends to ramble because he's very passionate as a person.
- Is definitely the type that needs to be told to stop talking or to shut up at some point.
🌹 His entire schpeal deals with Beauty in all forms.
- He will call you beautiful, he will call your houseplants beautiful, he will call your actions, your views on certain subjects, the way you move and how you speak and how your cat shows love to you (oh my god shut UP, Argenti)- all of those, he'll consider beautiful, and mean all of it.
- Argenti does not refer to Beauty as an appearance sort of deal, but rather the age-old classical approach of Beauty as an idea.
🌹 Honest in literally everything he says and does, and does not hide secrets (that we know of).
🌹 Devoted to the cause of the Knights of Beauty and their search for Idrila.
🌹 Loyal to those he decides are his friends-
- And yes, most people are his friends, regardless of them having a say.
- Basically, GET FRIENDED, IDIOT.
🌹 Despite his overly-excited and friendly nature, Argenti is headstrong in following the Knight of Beauty's Code of Chivalry.
- He cannot stand for people being hurt for someone else's gain or selfish reasons.
- He refuses to let people deter him if he feels he must act on something as a knight should.
- If someone is in danger, he will do what he must in order to save them.
- The way he acts on certain things is based on his vigorous training as a Knight of Beauty, which allowed him to destroy his own weaknesses, greed, and distractions.
🌹 If asked, he would gladly state he would choose to die as a knight in order to keep his honor and make sure Beauty is kept alive in the universe.
🌹 One of his biggest things is his need to see Idrila.
- Since Idrila is dead, Argenti can only ever see and hear them when he hangs on the edge of consciousness and close to death.
- This means he'll purposely go and fight as a knight in impossible and incredibly dangerous situations, so he can have the potential to see Idrila's face and hear them fully.
AU Name: Pasquale Argento
AU Age: 25
AU Birthday: September 1st
Faction: POKEGO
AU History: 🌹 Pasquale was born to a normal middle-class family in Vernazza, Italy. He was a boy with a lot of dreams and also kind of a nerd, enjoying television, anime, and video games as a collective hobby. His parents raised him with morals and standards in the hopes of him turning into a wise and smart young man. He had one sibling, his brother, and the two of them were both menaces as well as the best of friends.
🌹 As time went on, he began to imagine himself as an actor of sorts, either on stage or as a voice behind animation or games. Listening to other voice actors and actors talk about their experiences was exhilarating to him, oftentimes imagining himself taking the role of the hero, a knight, someone who would protect others.
🌹 Naturally, Vernazza, while beautiful, was not exactly a town he knew he wanted to live in forever. With a blessing from his parents, Pasquale ventured to Rome to live with his grandparents for some time. He was mostly focused on going to middle school and high school there- and while in high school, he got the opportunity to go to America on a study abroad trip for acting.
🌹 While in America, he met Noctis Cameron at a convention and the two hit it off spectacularly. Pasquale actually yelled across the vendor hall when he recognized Noctis's cosplay. The two exchanged usernames and proceeded to become good friends over the years, talking with each other up until Noctis came back to Kaisou.
🌹 About a month or so later, he then met Opal Rivera, taking a fondness to them easily. Opal reminded Pasquale of his brother, and while he tried to not be as Italian as possible at the guy, it was harder than he thought it might be. Opal, at least, seemed to take Pasquale's whole friendship stuff pretty easy.
🌹 After returning back to Rome, Pasquale graduated high school with high grades, planning to enroll in one of Rome's better universities to pursue his dream of acting and stage direction. On school breaks, his grandparents encouraged him to volunteer in local theaters, which gave Pasquale experience and a feeling of what it meant to be on stage. Wanting to be far more familiar with how things were both on and off stage, he postponed enrolling for a year and got involved in the art of theater in Rome. The entire experience was a fantastic learning lesson for him on what to work on and expect when moving forward as an actor.
🌹 Unfortunately, everything changed when he was 19. The summer before he started university, Pasquale was out late at night with a bunch of friends, enjoying the summer breeze and the memories he was making. Unbeknownst to them, a drunk driver swerved the corner too quickly on the road they were on, hitting Pasquale and severely injuring him. The driver never once stopped, instead just sped away while his friends screamed for help.
🌹 He was rushed to the hospital, where he was deemed in critical condition. Hooked up to life support and barely conscious, Pasquale would remain in this state for almost two months, trying to hold on. Knowing his chance of survival was slim, the doctors did not expect him to live.
🌹 While he was there, Pasquale teetered at death's door. At one critical moment in his mind, he remembers hearing a voice; soft, gentle, one he didn't know, yet recognized all the same. It called out to him, words barely audible, and he reached out, wanting to find where the voice came from. As he looked up, the vaguest form of someone came across his vision, hands forming to reach for him, smiling all the while.
🌹 Just as he was about to place his hand in theirs, wanting to know who this figure was, his memories came to him in full force- and he jolted awake in the hospital bed. The doctors had managed to pull him out of critical condition through a risky operation, and as the nurses ran to get the doctors to tell them he had awoken, the procedure was a success.
But for Pasquale, there was a deep sense of déjà vu, despite this life never having a brush with death. After all, he was no longer just Pasquale Argento, but also Argenti, a Knight of Beauty ever seeking the call of Idrila.
🌹 The doctors monitored him for three weeks afterwards, noting how not only did the procedure work beautifully, but Pasquale seemed to be making an almost miraculous recovery. They had expected him to never walk again and constantly be in need of an oxygen tank- yet within the first week he was beginning to take steps across the floor, and by the second week he could breathe for periods at a time without the need of extra oxygen. His organs seemed to heal themselves without much assistance at all, to the astonishment of those who took care of him.
Pasquale's parents proclaimed it was a miracle from God that he managed to recover so well, but he knew otherwise. As a Knight of Beauty in his past life, he had trained to become something exceptional, gifted with power, and this was simply par for the course for those who kept to the Code of Chivalry. This knowledge sat with him and made him incredibly unsettled as the third week seemed to pass slowly.
🌹 At the end of the week, there was a tension in the air that he seemed to pick up on. His parents were back home, waiting to hear when they could come pick up Pasquale after his discharge, but something felt wrong. One of the doctors noted that Pasquale seemed to be aware about it, and helped him to move out of his room quickly. Before he could ask questions, the doctor revealed himself to be a member of POKEGO, and told him he needed to leave the hospital as fast as he could. A Black Order member was coming for him, and he did not want to stay and find out what that meant. Pasquale was lead past the rooms, past the hospital's storage and inventory, and to the local fire exit as his escape. He didn't question much of what he was told- something seemed to tell him he could trust this man enough to do as he said. Without another word, he left, disappearing into the streets of Rome like a ghost.
🌹 Despite wanting to return home to his parents, he felt there was a risk if he did so. Not knowing where else to go, he wandered, staying in a homeless shelter for a few nights. Pasquale tried to stay out of view, keeping to himself and away from others, only choosing to finally leave when he felt he'd overstayed his welcome. This turned out to be a good idea, as he was found soon after by the same doctor who had helped him escape from the Black Order. Pasquale was surprised to see him, but the man pointed out that his partner, a Growlithe, helped to find him rather easily.
With that out of the way, the doctor explained POKEGO and all it entailed, and Pasquale didn't hesitate to immediately agree to join.
🌹 Being with POKEGO allowed Pasquale to contact his family, who were all extremely worried about him having suddenly gone missing. He explained that he was going to get assistance going through college and they were thrilled, Pasquale purposely not mentioning the whole other part of POKEGO and what had happened.
🌹 He went to college and chose instead to take a degree in botany rather than acting, which became a minor instead. While his love for theater and being a voice actor didn't lessen by any means, he knew it would be easier to keep himself out of view with a more mundane career. Once he graduated, he was under the tutelage of a mentor who gave him a Florges as a partner, and the two hit it off immediately.
A year later, Pasquale passed the final tests for POKEGO's certification and took on the name Professor Floribunda (to this day, some professors argue with him that floribunda roses are not viable as a name, but he enjoys reminding them that said species can be bred as both a bush as well as a tree).
🌹 After talking with Noctis for years on end, last November he was simply told that his friend's father had died, and then communication barely exceeded more than a few sentences at a time since. Worried for one of his close friends, Pasquale asked to be transferred to Kaisou in order to assist the professors there as well as find Noctis and see if he's well.
AU Personality Differences:
🌹 Most of the time, he just goes by Argenti. His close friends call him Pasquale still, but he's more or less embraced who he used to be- and "arg3ntii" was his online handle for a few years anyway.
🌹 While his manner of speaking and writing has changed and become far more flowery (haha), it's not as extreme as it would be in his past life. Argenti now is a mix of formal eloquence and common slang thrown into a blender full of modern day talk.
🌹 He's less gung-ho about the whole "throw himself at dangerous things to get close to death so he can hear Idrila." Unless the situation actually calls for him to be that focused and certain in his actions, he'll be more cautious.
