Prompto Zarxen

HEY THERE, THEY CALL ME PROMPTO AND I'M CURRENTLY LEGALLY TWENTY ONE BABY YEARS OLD. I'M FROM THE WORLD OF TENEBRAE WHERE I AM AN OFFICIAL BADASS GUARDIAN OF THE PRINCE. I GO FOR ANYTHING BUT GIRLS EXIST? AND I WILL THROW MY WEIGHT BEHIND PSICOM.

Weapon: Shotgun and handguns. Prompto carries a high powered, modified to his liking shotgun with him at all times. It's his baby, his prized possession, and he's highly trained in its use. However he does usually keep a handgun on his person at all times as well, just on the off chance he'll need one of those. If it shoots, he's got the skill to use it.

Abilities:

• Expert Marksmanship - If it shoots, Prompto can shoot it. If it moves, he can hit it with whatever gun he's using. Despite most thinking he's incompetent because of his personality, when it comes right down to it, Prompto's the best shot you can ever hope to find with a gun of any sort. He's quite proud of that too.
  
• Charming the ladies - (Prompto made me, I swear) Prompto seems to have this way with words, especially toward ladies. Ability? I think yes.
  
• Smoothtalker - Prompto relies heavily on his ability to talk his way out of situations. Despite being able to hold his own in a fight, he'd rather just charm the pants off anyone who's trying to take him in. Why be violent when you can sweet talk someone into letting you off the hook?
  

Personality: Prompto is quite active and playful, and appears to be the happy upbeat character. He doesn’t let much get him down, although he does have a different side, it just doesn’t show. He is one of those people that can cheer up others, and takes control of his own destiny. He doesn’t exactly follow orders, and likes to do things his way, but he is loyal to friends.

Noctis is a good friend of his, and he would never let a friend down. A good fighter, he likes to get right in the mix of action. He doesn’t stand in the back thinking of everything that might go wrong, instead he charges right into battle. He knows how to live a little, having fun and being with his friends. Outgoing and upbeat, he makes friends easily, getting out what he wants to say is no problem for him.

A little overconfident in his own abilities gets him in trouble sometimes, but he is good at getting himself out of a pinch. At first in battle he’s calm and collected while he fights, but after a certain point he goes ‘wild.’ He doesn’t care about what the odds are, he charges right in recklessly. When he isn’t fighting he’s usually with his friends or out having fun. He likes to listen to music and can often be seen with his earbuds in. He doesn’t respect authority very well, often doing his own thing, which got him in trouble with the law. He is somewhat rebellious and stubborn, having a devil may care attitude when it comes to ‘high authority.’

When it comes right down to it however, Prompto is a good guy to have on your side and not so fun to be up against. Happy go lucky in normal life and around his friends, when he gets into battle its almost as if he changes personalities. Hands are steady and mind focuses entirely on the target, becoming cold and calculated. Basically untouchable with his use of guns, Prompto is the only person in the gang that can use guns by aiming manually. Though he comes off as just cheerful and outgoing, Prompto is really intelligent and can be seen giving advice to the others, even though hes the youngest of the group. He knows his stuff, you never have to question if he can get something done, when it comes right down to it, he does it.

History: Prompto grew up in a distant part of his world, his parents were poor, but they did the best to raise him. He never really had that much stuff, but he did have his personality. Interestingly, he didn’t become bitter. He worked hard, but he also goofed off a lot. The town he grew up in knew that he liked to pull tricks on a lot of people. Even though he didn’t have anything, he didn’t let it get him down.

His father worked hard, and made enough money to buy Storm what he really wanted, a shotgun. Storm loved guns, but had never had one. When his father bought him his first shotgun, he was 10 years old. He practiced to the point of being an expert marksman with his gun. He carried it everywhere with him, at first thinking it made him look tough, and then because he needed it.

At 13 his mother and father died in an accident. Taking his gun, he went away from his hometown. Prompto got involved in stealing, simply for necessity, but the law doesn't bother to care about why you do what you do. By 14 he was wanted by the law. They tried to catch him, but failed. Though he’s a fugitive, he hasn’t told anyone, although Noct might know about it. He learned how to fight hand to hand with almost anything, becoming good at martial arts and weapons like knifes and handguns. He needed to know to survive in the life he lived.

So Prompto became better and better at what he did, he had to be tough to survive the life he led. Eventually he got so good at it that Prompto ceased to feel bad about the fact that he was a fugitive. It wasn't something he had chosen to do, but life was rough, and he had had to do it to survive. That in his mind, though it didn't make it good, made it seem ok. Life wasn't fair to anyone.

And then one day he met Noctis. Prompto had wandered into Noct's country and Noctis was fighting a bunch of enemies. Prompto jumped in for some unknown reason and helped him out. Only after did Noctis realize that Prompto was wanted by the law. For a few moments Noctis was going to take Prompto in, although Prompto would have put up a good fight. Instead Noctis decided to ask Prompto to join his fight and protect the crystal.
