Disposition:
•Tends to keep information to himself if he thinks it will cause someone distress.
•Generally quiet and soft spoken. May be considered the “leader” of his siblings, and while they follow his overarching plan, they decline to his face(multiple times) any requests regarding the soul override system and their safety. Though part of this is also tired to his sense of duty.
•strong sense of duty. Instilled in him by Gaius, he cannot bring himself to flee a bad situation, because he knows that would merely mean that others would take his place. His siblings feel similarly, hence him not pushing aside the matter of their well being when they go off to battle. If they are strong enough to withstand it then it is their duty to do so.
•self sacrificing. Tied to his sense of duty, and value of strength, if he can endure something so that another does not have to, then he will. He’s seen being punished for his siblings’ failures, without retaliating. Also arranged it so he’s absorbed into the diamond weapon to protect his sister.
•Good self control. he tends to be very controlled with his feelings, hiding them if he needs to, such as seeing his father after the Ruby weapon incident. Despite their goals allying, he knew they couldn’t leave others to suffer as he and his siblings were + had to ensure the weapons weren’t used for their original intent. The only time he does seem to go haywire is after his soul is in command of the diamond weapon, at which point he is a giant robot and impervious to most forms of attack. If one is to let loose, that seems as good of a time as any.
•A bit stiff. unsurprising given who raised him. He’s serious, curt, disciplined , and doesn’t seem one for jokes. The terrible state of his life may play a part in that, but even as a child he seemed to gravitate towards being rather serious and thoughtful.
•Idolizes his father- He has wholeheartedly adopted Gaius' outlook from early in the game, and doesn't see it as flawed. Part of his end goal remains the subjugation of Eorzea, with the idea that he can better the lives of those who are conquered after.
•Nurturing- He's the eldest of five siblings, and it's said he took the role very very seriously. Between protecting them growing up, as well as helping them grow more confident, he helped the shyer ones come out of their shells.
•He's 21- He's at that ripe age where he thinks he knows a lot more than he actually does. No doubting that he's smart, but still young and stubborn. The tragedy of this questline is that it did not have to end like it did, both parties had the same goals in the end. But Alfonse and his siblings thought their way was the only way, and thua refused help, leading to their demise.

Suitability: Alfonse is likely to be very testy and resilient at first, given what he's coming from in canon, but he is ever a helpful person and will likely go about burying himself in that initially. He will be interested in learning more about his gem powers, given how magic is a very foreign beast to him, and one he's interested in learning... in hopes of being less useless outside of a robot.

Synchrony will be something he initially resists, but transformation cycles will hopefully be the nudge he needs to get out of his shell, even if it's just little things. He's been through a lot, and the nudge to reach out to others and develop bonds will do him a lot of good.

Condition upon arrival:
Initially wounded from prolonged torture, it was threaded that the worst of his injuries were healed. All that remains are some damaged scales, nothing he'll need medical treatment for.

Abilities:

Soldier: Come with some basic combat and survival skills, however given his age and rank he's not likely to be incredibly impressive with it, outside of an Au Ra's natural inclination towards raw strength.

Mechpilot: Capable of piloting a state of the art battlemech

engineering: Likely capable of doing basic field repairs on war mechs. Upon becoming the core of the diamond weapon he gains a knowledge of the prototype weapons his siblings piloted. He likely maintains a rudimentary knowledge on how the weapons worked, nowhere near enough to build one, but he could probably improve some household appliances if he got bored enough.

Gunbreaker: Gunbreaker but worse. Given he was both raised and surrounded by people incapable of wielding magic, he uses the "Garlean model" gunblade, meaning instead of being charged by Aether, it requires cerulium(High Fantasy Explosive Gasoline) cartridges to fire, meaning he cannot charge them himself.

Inventory:
Garlean-style standard issue gunblade
Clothes on his back
Cartridges of ammo for aforementioned gunblade (15)

Gembond: Ruby
Gem Location: forehead

Notes: I play a WoL here, but given that Alfonse saw the WoL once in a very superficial exchange (the WoL existed from 20 feet away while Alfonse talked with his father), and the WoL did essentially kill him and his siblings, Alfonse will have no desire to interact with him, so there's no worry of overlap between characters.
