Character Name: Linhardt von Hevring Arcana: The High Priestess Faction: Thorne
Anomalous Beasts: Linhardt is familiar with the Demonic Beast from Fodlan, but he's not going to be of much help if/when it shows up in Thorne as he shares the Arcana and will be... very much not There to help out.
He is also really, really interested in the dragon - and is slinging a ton of magic around so it probably notices. Observers will note Linhardt refuses to hurt the creature - he's complimenting it while it tries to set him on fire.
Interested Locations: EVERYWHERE. Portal all the places. (That he's allowed).
Activities: Generally, how Linhardt responds to the Anomalous Beasts is going to depend on the strength of Thorne's response + how well the other Summoned are coping with the threat. If needed or it would be helpful, Linhardt is available to heal the wounded so they can get up and back at it - he also would be assisting in the logistics of evacuating people if it would be helpful. Most of his attention would be focused on helping get innocent people out of harm's way and making sure everyone lives.
On the other hand, if things are going well and he's not needed, Linhardt wants to study all the monsters. Basically he's lurking in your battlefield and taking notes, but he can take care of himself so at least he's not getting in the way. He'll help you if you need healing, though.
More importantly, the creature from his world (the Demonic Beast) both shares his Arcana and is something that Linhardt is interested in studying. Which means the minute it shows up in Thorne, he is on that like white on rice. And that is not a good thing, because Linhardt has a lot of repressed emotion and Demonic Beasts are basically all aggression all the time. Linhardt is going batshit crazy so somebody will have to deal with that. Either that or a lot of things in Thorne are going to be on fire. Please either try to calm him down or, alternatively, restrain him/knock him out. He'll be pleased when he comes to his senses.
Unique Skills: Linhardt has several skills that make him useful in a support capacity: He is a very skilled healing mage, having the ability to deal with both injuries and poisons/venoms/status effects. He also has enough understanding of logistics to be very calm and very useful when it comes to evacuating people. He can also teleport objects, which is probably helpful when it comes to moving things out of the way of the people fleeing/hiding.
And sorry to the other Summoned in Thorne, but while Linhardt doesn't like using his battle magic, it's going to be on full display while the Demonic Beast drives him nuts:
- Lots of fire magic. And lots of wind magic. He both has the ability to directly cast fire/wind magic on others and use it to manipulate his surroundings.
- He can also absorb life energy from other people/creatures and use it to heal himself.
- And he can teleport so restraining him or physical contact might be difficult.
- Linhardt has also fought enough Demonic Beasts that he can coordinate with the creature and will be providing cover for it.
General plans: Linhardt is also an idiot who is going to yeet himself at some Rifts and get his ass kicked if anybody wants some levity in the midst of this nonsense.
