The basics.

[beforetheglasses]

This is Jade. He's from Tales of the Abyss; quite a fun game.

However, this is not how he appears in-game, but it is referenced numerous times.

This is Jade when he was young, and since his exact times are supposed to be a bit spotty, a wonderful timeline was complied and posted here(Use it if you've ever wanted a much more definite order of events for the canon, even the small anecdote about Saphir being released from prison!).

Personality: Many are used to Jade's snark with an ever present smile. This will not happen sadly with a younger version. If you want just the snark; he'll be happy to deliver however!

If you want a smile; beware. When this young Jade smiles; trouble is afoot. He has already invented and used Fonic Sight on himself, making him quite the prodigy with Fonic Artes, not that he wasn't already. Expect him to use at least a couple of the spells he could late in-game already.

Artes:

Strike:
Thunder Lance: "Thunder Lance!"
FOF-Lightning Tempest: "Feel lightning! Lightning Tempest!"

Fonic:

Low:
Energy Blast: "O mighty explosion... Energy Blast!"
FOF-Photon: "O brilliance show your wrath... Photon!"

Drain Magic: "I'll help myself. Drain Magic!"
FOF-Absorption: "Take power from those before me... Absorption!"

Mid:
Stalagmite: "O maddening gale of the spirits of the earth... Stalagmite!"
FOF-Eruption: "Crimson fury, burn! Eruption!"

Splash: "O violent torrent... Splash!"
FOF-Icicle Rain: "O frigid blades, pour forth! Icicle Rain!"

Turbulence: "Howl O raging wind and cleave mine enemies with your blade! Turbulence!"
FOF-Flare Tornado: "O flames of hell, bring unto them the wrath of the lord of fire! Flare Tornado!"

High:
Ground Dasher: "O roar of the earth, bring forth the fangs of the mighty dragon. Ground Dasher!"
FOF-Frigid Coffin: "Slumber in this horrid sepulchre of merciful ice. Frigid Coffin!"

Mystic:
Mystic Cage: "O, admonishing melody, arise in the name of the Necromancer! Mystic Cage! Know what true power is!"
