Ivan | Golden Sun | Reserved
Personal Journal:
Other Characters Played: N/A
Character Name: Ivan
Canon Golden Sun
Personality: Ivan has a few main personality traits which are worth mentioning. The first is that before he met Isaac and Garet, he had no friends whatsoever. This, combined with his ‘strange power’ of reading minds, made him more than a bit awkward, socially. The first impression that most people have of him was ‘that weird kid with the purple eyes’, as he was quiet, extremely polite, and also extremely creepy in being able to repeat thoughts out loud all the time. He learned to stop doing this once he meets up with the main party, though, and is now simply quiet and polite. Not that he doesn’t continue to abuse his Mind Read, but it’s done at the direction of the party leader, and generally, they keep the secrets they learn to themselves. He’s also better adapted to being around other people his own age. Because he found friendship so late in life, he deeply values his friends and is willing to sacrifice quite a lot for their sakes.
Ivan grows in other ways throughout his journey – He is initially somewhat reluctant to accept the strange powers that he possesses, dismayed that other people are constantly frightened of his ability to read their minds. When he learns, however, that there are others like himself, he becomes much more enthusiastic, and in combination with his strong sense of morality, nearly immediately decides that he needs to accompany Isaac and Garet on their journey. Even so, his speech near the beginning of the game is generally hesitant or doubtful, but as their journey progress, he becomes more confident in himself and in his abilities. Despite being the youngest of the characters, he often has some insight to offer into their current situation due to his gifts and his long habits in observing others.
Ivan is not easily angered and is generally of mild temperament. When he does become angry, however, he is very much capable of showing his wrath and doesn’t hesitate to call out those who are in the wrong. His anger doesn’t usually last, however. Immediately after defeating the man who had kidnapped his adoptive father for ransom money, his words are ones of concern, as he is afraid the man may have broken his leg. Despite his socially maladjusted upbringing, Ivan appears to have been instilled with great kindness by his adoptive parents.
Finally, it may be useful to note that Ivan eventually grows up into a scholar/inventor with know-how rivaling that of Kraden himself. He invents the Soarwing and is said to have studied extensively with Kraden long enough the events of the first two games. Though this personality trait isn’t clearly obvious in the games in which he appears, it is not unlikely that Ivan kept his interests in tinkering and inventing and research to himself, as he is a fairly private individual, despite his main skill being to violate the privacy of others.
I’ll be apping Ivan from before the beginning of the first game and allowing him to grow and develop throughout. This means that he’ll begin as the socially stunted, highly awkward young child first introduced to Isaac and Garet at the start of Golden Sun.
History: http://goldensun.wikia.com/wiki/Ivan
Setting Info: http://goldensun.wikia.com/wiki/Weyard
Abilities/Powers:
*Mind Read: Ivan can read the minds of others.
Reveal: Ivan can see through illusions and also find hidden objects.
*Precognition: Ivan can tell the future, though he never consciously awakens to this power.
*Various Wind and Electricity-based Psynergy: Ivan can call down tornadoes and lightning at will.
Stat-enhancement: Ivan can naturally boost attack and magic resistance.
With the power of Djinn, elemental spirits, Ivan can access a huge variety of spells and powers that would be far too long to list. Generally, in addition to complete mastery of Jupiter Psynergy (wind) he has a strong affinity for Mercury (water/ice) Psynergy and Mercury-based recovery spells as well. He can also access Mars (fire) and Venus (earth) Psynergy with some class-tweaking. In essence, it depends on what Djinn he has on him at any given time. On top of this, each Djinni, of which there are 72, has its own special ability. Finally, Djinni can also be used to summon powerful elemental spirits. I’ll be sticking primarily to the Jupiter and Mercury-based classes and Psynergy. If this is too vague, let me know. Asterisks indicate which abilities he has when he first enters the game; the reminder will be gained over time and experience.
Intended Guild: Order of Scholarly Research, due to his role off-screen in Dark Dawn as an inventer/scholar and his general sense of curiosity.
Notes/Other Info: I’ll be putting up a permissions post for Ivan’s Mind Read, as it will be essential when he first enters. He’ll be abusing it very liberally at the start of the game due to his canon point.
