NAME: Voyager AGE: Almost 50 years old, on the timeline of present-day Earth. HEIGHT: 4'2" / 127cm WEIGHT: 57lbs / 26kg CANON: Fate/Requiem, supplemented by Fate/Grand Order CANONPOINT: Flexible! FIRST IMPRESSIONS VISUAL: While his true body is a man-made aluminum alloy space probe, Voyager's materialization as a Servant was heavily influenced by the sentimentalities of Erice Utsumi. As such, he currently strongly emulates the image of The Little Prince, as depicted by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in the eponymous children's book: a young boy shy of ten years old with the small stature to match, angelic pale facial features, a head of fluffy golden hair, and very bright blue eyes. Normally he's initially found wearing a loose white tunic with a gold belt and a round star-crested chest logo, thin gold boots that seem to taper into a triangle shape reminiscent of horse-riding spurs at the heels, and--most prominently--a long shining gold-foil scarf that's perpetually fluttering in an intangible breeze behind him. On days when he's feeling well, Voyager is prone to carrying a gentle warm glow about him everywhere he goes, like he's being constantly bathed in a midday sunbeam streaming through an invisible window. Additionally, sometimes it's just his scarf that's floating, and other times his whole body's floating too, just a few inches off the ground as he drifts from place to place. SOUND: His voice is a match to his current Servant appearance, high and boyish. His speech patterns are generally fairly slow and deliberate, a cadence that can either worsen or quicken depending on how alert he might currently be to the goings-on about him. The more focused and motivated he is, however, the more clear and decisive he'll become. SCENT: Nothing in particular, to normal noses. The more sensitive sort, though, could readily note that he doesn't smell human at all. Instead, under the layer of ozone-like magical energy that currently constitutes his Servant body, there's a distinct impression of heated metal mingling with the acrid traces of deep-space stardust. DEMEANOR: Despite his origin being chronologically old enough to qualify for adulthood in humans, Voyager is generally considered to be relatively very young and strangely formative by the standards of Heroic Spirit Servants. There's a distinct impression of genuine guileless innocence; he will approach new faces with open curiosity, and is for the most part friendly and (fairly) polite once that curiosity's more settled. His interest is easily caught by sights and sounds he considers novel. He enjoys sweet desserts and fun games and affectionate company, as any child would. His neutral state often seems a bit detached and almost dreamy, however--fairly aware of the world around him, and yet constantly just a bit distracted, like he can't quite stop thinking about something else far away. On notable occasions, however, this detachment is liable to fade in favor of a surprisingly lucid intensity. There are also some distinctly unchildlike tics that gradually grow more evident over time. Voyager is prone to wanting to analyze those novelties he finds with a slow and patient intensity not generally found in a human boy of his apparent age, being fully willing and able to sit still in one place for hours at a time observing or listening to subjects of interest. He also seems especially unusually versed in the details of space as it is known within the vicinity of Earth and its solar system. His physical status as a Servant, with all the additional senses and abilities this entails, have him liable to exhibit an unnatural awareness of certain unnatural things as well. IC PERMISSIONS PHYSICAL AFFECTION: He generally won't mind it too much even from strangers; he's observed that headpats, hand-holding and hugs seem to be things that a lot of people want to do when they meet him for some reason. Still, he won't be shy to express some displeasure if there's more poking and prodding going on than he wants to deal with at a given time. PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: He'd think that's not very nice of you :( Though he's starting to grow more versed in standing up for his friends and himself if needs must. Those expecting to be throwing hands with a normal child may end up surprised by what he's actually packing in terms of power; let's discuss! MENTAL INFORMATION: Kinda weird! A surface-level sweep imparts fairly child-like sensibilities, couched in the dreamy detachment that he's often outwardly exhibiting as well. Digging in deeper, though, would unearth a constant peripheral awareness of something distant-and-growing-ever-more-distant. He also seems to perceive the world around him through a practically machine-like lens of steady observation, with a curiosity that's etched like a standing command. The relayed shape of his thoughts and memories, especially relating to sounds and sights, also possess an eidetic quality closer-parallel to robotic peers than not--though he does still seem to experience genuinely human-like emotions. MAGICAL INFORMATION: Kid is a bundle of pure magic! So anyone sensitive to such energies is quite free to notice the fountain of it emanating from his person. Voyager is a Servant, a spirit body given form through the anchoring magic of a summoning, and his general existence is even more strangely-interpreted than the standard Servant's. Heroic Spirit Servants are commonly the recorded souls of humans who achieved deeds of great impact in history; conversely, Voyager is an abstract concept of humanity's outreach to the stars that's gained a will and sentience of its own once given shape. Humanity's hopes and dreams, poured into a space probe they threw into the endless cosmos, have been laid upon the backbone of The Little Prince's concepts to give him the shape he has now. To those of the Fate-verse who could interpret such, his Saint Graph is of the unique "Voyager" class, though there are distinct component elements that could lend to the "Foreigner" class a bit alarmingly easily. Similarly notable to Fate-verse eyes that could perceive it: his body seems to actually somehow carry properties of the Rhongomyniad, though for the moment it seems like an aspect that he's only very passively utilizing. MEDICAL INFORMATION: Though Voyager appears human, his actual constitution is more Ether and magical energy than flesh and blood. Despite still being able to experience pain, he's somewhat capable of withstanding injuries that would be fatal for a human; however, he could still be killed by sufficiently powerful damage inflicted to his Spiritual Core. A Servant's head and heart are generally linked directly to said Spirital Core, making them very vulnerable points. Normally, upon death, Servants disintegrate into the spiritron particles that comprise their being and do not leave bodies behind. Such catastrophic circumstances aside, however, his current body still seems functional in most other human ways: he can see, hear, smell, taste, and feel--and finds great novelty in testing these senses, most of them being nonexistent as a space probe. Though he enjoys food, he doesn't actually need to eat, and thanks to his inherent "Independent Navigation" class skill he's able to maintain his form without the active supplement of a contracted Master's magical energy for quite some time. He's generally running a bit unusually hot, which often renders him pleasantly warm to the touch. OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Has a very knee-jerk aversion to snakes, both as an idea and on sight. OOC PERMISSIONS BACKTAGGING: Yes please! THREADHOPPING: Give me a heads-up, but generally ok! FOURTHWALLING: Characters are free to eventually realize he is a sentient manifestation of That exact Voyager space probe, and question him accordingly about it; he doesn't mind talking about himself! Alternatively, he could be mistaken for The Little Prince as well, though he wouldn't accept that identity as entirely his own; he's had the book read to him before, however, and would be amenable to discussing its contents. Would rather pass on actual canon puncturing a la "you're a character in a light novel/gacha mobage game" etc SHIPPING: Would prefer not. Let's keep it to friendships and found family. DO NOT WANT: As a personal preference I have a hard time with highly detailed gore. Gorey concepts are fine, so long as the written details are rather more vague than not. (Statements to the point a la "He was stabbed in the eye" are generally ok, but a lovingly prose description of the fine details of the eye-stabbing would be a no-go for me.) For interactions with Voyager specifically, I do not want to engage him in anything discussing sexual topics in general, implied or otherwise. So let's not, please! ANYTHING ELSE? Header pic is official art by NOCO! Wrt Requiem and FGO both, I'm only canon familiar up to their most recent English translations: end of volume 2 chapter 11 of Requiem, and up to the most recent Lostbelt and event in FGO NA. In the case of FGO, I'd prefer to avoid overt future Lostbelt spoilers where at all possible! I'll generally rp Voyager as being manifested with memories of both his summonings in Requiem and FGO, for given scenes! This means that he'll be able to recognize both characters in Requiem and various characters in FGO. I'm generally willing to be pretty flexible about interactions that might have transpired in FGO's Chaldea between Voyager and other Servants, so Voyager could sit anywhere on the spectrum of 'conversationally familiar' to 'has only seen them sometimes in passing' wrt any other Servants that he hasn't had canon encounters with yet. Feel free to hit me up ooc and discuss ideas if you'd like! Additionally, if for any reason you'd prefer not to thread with Voyager in general, an opt-out can be dropped in my HMD post here. It will be screened and adhered to, no questions asked!
