He's 14 in canon, according to someone who works on the show, but I would have assumed around 16, tbh, based on his personality, just his design. AU OCCUPATION: High School Student BLURB: » An only child born in Recollé, whose father has been single for as long as Varian can remember. Varian has seen his mother in his own baby pictures, but aside from that, he knows basically nothing about her. It's always been something he's felt he couldn't ask about, and his father's never brought it up. » Varian has always been bright for his age, and has a particular interest in science. Chemistry is his favorite area. Despite his intelligence, he tends to make a mess of things by being overzealous in his thinking. As a result, his father didn't always put faith in him, and Varian feels he was ashamed of him. » Varian is fond of animals, though his father never let him have a pet because the boy could be flighty-minded. » In his preteen years, Varian started volunteering at an animal shelter, which he still does. » Varian's father was a cop until he died on the job when Varian was 14. I haven't decided specifics. Anyway, Varian had disappointed his father by getting in trouble in school earlier that day, and Varian believes this disappointment clouded his father's focus and helped lead to his death. » Before the accident, Varian was socially awkward and kind of angsty, but generally upbeat and optimistic. After the accident, Varian became moody and angry, largely blaming himself for his father's death. » He's living with some extended family now. » At age 15, Varian dyed a streak in his hair blue to honor his father. » Varian is also interested in technology, especially computers and phones. He has some "handyman" type skills, as well, because he likes to mess around with things in his house. He'll take appliances and the like apart and then put them back together, improving them in the process, if he thinks he can. » Plans to attend Recollé University after high school, but he isn't quite sure what he plans to major in. Probably a science. » He reads a lot! Mostly action-centric fantasy or historical fiction. » He also collects rocks and minerals, etc. LOOKING FOR: » Input or additional ideas! » Extended Family. Varian needs to be living with someone right now, especially since he's a minor, and it'd be great for this family to be actual characters in the game.
