CURRENT CHARACTERS: N/A
CHARACTER INFO.
NAME: Fai D. Flourite/Yuui
CANON: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
AGE: Unknown, but looks physically 23
APPEARANCE: Easy enough.
CANON POINT:
BACKGROUND: Weet~woo!
PERSONALITY: Fai is highly energetic, yet also enigmatic at the same time. He gives a front that seems to be happy-go-lucky and well intending, and above all very carefree, approaching many things with humour. He gets along very well with Mokona and cheers him on frequently. He often teases Kurogane, calling him ridiculous nicknames such as "Kuro-rin" and "Kuro-tan". However, Fai has been shown to be as perceptive and as skilled fighter as Kurogane. He doesn't like to rely on his magic, due to a curse to kill the mage stronger than him, and his markings were in place to keep his magic from growing. He even tells white lies, saying things like he can't whistle, or that the first feather they found was likely attached to Syaoran out of Syaoran's "instinct to save the girl" (but Fai actually had it all along), often to keep others distant or protected. When drinking, he shares a personality trait with Sakura of meowing and being generally hyper and rambunctious. But, he also seems to have an intense awareness during it, causing him to be asked later if his drunk behaviour was real or an act, and he confirms it to be a real behaviour.
Under the mask of good cheer, Fai is emotionally distant, refusing to allow anyone to become too close to him. But, he also worries about his companions and would go as far as breaking his own personal vows to ensure their safety, as he becomes attached to them - a detail Kurogane calls him out on. If anyone tries to harm Sakura or Syaoran, it triggers him into a rage. Additionally, he appears to carry a deep emotional burden, and tends to value his own life very little, to the point where he feels he doesn't deserve to live at all. In battle, Fai doesn't bother to fight very hard for his life, and will only do so if someone he cares for is in danger. In at least one circumstance, he told the others to leave him behind. Especially if the situation felt hopeless for him, he would be very quick to give up his own life. Though he hides his unhappiness well, Kurogane is able to see through the disguise. When he confronts him about it, Fai usually gives very dark and enigmatic answers. His past is a profound motivating factor for his actions and is something Fai cannot seem to overcome; instead he masks it all with a smile.
Fai's behavior changes significantly after he becomes a vampire and is forced to regularly drink Kurogane's blood to survive. Fai seems to resent Kurogane for saving him, becoming much colder and very solemn around everyone, and begins addressing Kurogane by his real name in order to try to kill the bond between them. He confesses to Yuuko that he had 'crossed the line' that he had drawn for himself and had become too close to Kurogane.
However, after the events in Celes, where Kurogane saves Fai a second time at a personal sacrifice to himself, Fai steadily seems to return to his previous behaviours at the beginning of the series, as he once again addresses Kurogane with strange nicknames, and he seems to give a real smile now.
ABILITIES:
Fai is a powerful mage that uses all sorts of variations of magic.
Casting Spells - Unlike previous magic-using characters created by Clamp, Fai's magic is "written" out as he casts it, either by using a magical staff or his hand, rather than summoning a magic circle like Yuuko Ichihara, Clow Reed, and Sakura Kinomoto.
Level of Power - The extent of Fai's power is only alluded to throughout most of the series as he refused to use it. However, he was the strongest magician in Celes prior to its destruction, and as a child, was as strong as his country's king when his magic was combined with that of his twin brother's. He is also able to fight toe-to-toe against Kurogane and Ashura while using only half his magic, as the other half of his magic was stolen by the clone of Syaoran. Also, upon meeting Seishiro in the beginning of the series, Fai's curse, which forced him to kill those with magic stronger than his own, did not activate. Therefore it's possible that he was stronger than Seishiro in terms of magic (before his magic was halved, then completely taken away). There also seems to be an emotional element to his magic; the stronger his emotions are, the more powerful his spells. In an emotional breakdown after he discovers that he stabbed (and presumably killed) Sakura, his magical energy alone destroys the surrounding area.
Origin - The source of Fai's magical powers are his blue eyes. Since his powers are directly connected to his eyes, a loss of vision leads directly to a loss of magic. His powers are effectively halved when the clone Syaoran gouges out his left eye and consumes it in Tokyo. Now, the clone Syaoran possesses half of Fai's magical powers. Fai's powers will disappear when he dies, regardless of who is in possession of his eyes. Additionally, according to Seishiro, the magic of Fai's right eye diminishes the more it is used, while that of his left eye grows stronger.
Forms
Intuition - Though sworn off magic, Fai is able to sense magic passively, such as detecting barriers. For example, he detects the source of power in the castle in Hanshin, and in the Central Library of Rekord. He is also able to detect magic within people, so he knew the Syaoran he met at Yuuko’s shop was a clone and that Seishiro also possessed magical powers. Fai writes off these instances of detection as ‘intuition’ and common knowledge for anyone with a basic understanding of magic.
Seals - In addition to various forms of offensive magic, Fai has aptitude with seals, having sealed Ashura under-water as seen at the beginning of the series.
Barriers - Fai is able to create protective barriers by whistling, as demonstrated in the group's escape from Rekord country. He later claims that magic using sound is not the type of magic that he typically uses.
Inter-dimensoinal travel: Fai’s magic allows him to travel to another world more than one time. Fai claims in the beginning that he is able to do it only once.
Elongated Life Span - Fai's magic is powerful enough to slow his aging process; however, according to his behavior there are no reasons to suggest that Fai is much older than he looks. He was supposed to die if he were to lose all his magic as his life itself depends on it but later he was spared from this effect due to vampire blood.
Teleportation - He is able to teleport to dimensions on his own. Though for most of the series, he pretends that he could only do so once. Fai has also used magic to magically seal Kurogane's sword Souhi into his left hand, saying that if Mokona is not around or if they are separated, he could take it out of his hand in the same fashion as the real Syaoran.
Hand-to-Hand Combat - In addition to magical powers, Fai is also a strong and agile fighter able to knock back multiple opponents in battle just as easily as a Syaoran and Kurogane.
After recieving Kamui and Kurogane's blood, he becomes a vampire with Kurogane being his prey, as he drank his blood he can only consume it, and presumbaly also Kamui's; this grants Fai many powers to compensate the loss of his magical powers, such as an impressive regenerative power and the growth of sharp claws which can cut stone and steel. However vampires are not immortal, this means that if something ever happens to Kurogane, he wouldn't be able to drink any other blood and eventually die.
