Character: Battler Ushiromiya
Canon: Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Canon Point: Post-Rokkenjima incident in EP08 (Twilight of the Golden Witch)
CRAU, Canon AU: N/A
Character Age: 18
Canon Abilities/Powers:
Blue Truth - this is simply the ability to present a possibility in a mystery setting as a ‘truth’, meaning that it is entirely possible for this to have happened, and the only way to shoot the theory down is to blatantly prove that it is wrong. The blue truth is spoken in literal blue words.
Red Truth - through becoming a Game Master, Battler actually gained the ability to use the witch's red truth as well. The red truth is, very simply, a statement of truth that needs no proof. Because it is stated in red, it is therefore undoubtedly true.
Golden Truth - the golden truth is a simple statement of truth that cannot be challenged by the blue truth and can only be used by someone who understands the 'rules' of the game, so someone who knows the whole 'real truth' themselves.
NOTE: The Blue Truth, Red Truth, and Golden Truth are technically powers that Battler only had as part of the game board, but he has spent so long in that world that he has come to acknowledge it fully as a part of himself and what he can do.
Mystery genre knowledge - Battler is well versed in the mystery genre and can come up with reasoning and tricks to foil things like ‘closed rooms’ because of it.
What is their greatest negative emotion towards an object, situation, or person in their past?:
It's difficult to choose just one thing that would qualify for the greatest negative emotion Battler has, simply because of how the story unfolds. I think I can narrow it down to three major time spans: before the Rokkenjima incident, during his time with the witch, and the end of the game.
His greatest regret from before the start of everything is the literal start of everything. It was through a careless promise he made as a young boy that the seeds of enmity were sewn so deeply at his family's home that it resulted in the death of his entire family. He hates that he was so callous as to have not taken another's feelings into consideration before just spouting out whatever came to his head.
As far as during the game, Battler's hatred for Beatrice morphed into a displeasure with himself for taking so long to figure out what she was trying to tell him. He made her suffer for no reason simply because he was so caught up in his own problems, so much so that it led to her death and his subsequent inheritance of the game. (She comes back, but he still hates that he hurt her like that!)
And lastly, the way things are left after the game probably fills Battler with the most remorse. Again because of him, his sister was left with no family (aside from an abusive aunt) and had to grow up alone without the brother who promised to come home to her.
Essentially, Battler's biggest negativities would be associated with two specific people: Beatrice and Ange.
How aware are they of this negative emotion, and how do they act on it in canon?:
Battler is painfully aware of his feelings and all his wrong-doings by the end of the story. Each time a new facet of his past comes forward, he takes the knowledge into himself and lets it fuel him to further the game and unlock all the secrets of the death of his family. At the bitter end, when he is fully aware and in control of everything that has happened, he chooses to try and repent for his sins by creating a game in which his sister can find solace in her lonely life. He is constantly trying to make up for the things he's done wrong throughout the story.
What is their greatest virtue?:
Probably Battler's greatest virtue is his thirst for knowledge. Rather than accepting things at face value, he will flip the board over and over to see things from every perspective he can, just so he can gain a full appreciation of events. Through the witch's games, he refined this ability that was taught to him through mystery novels and nurtured by his step-mother to the point that he is able to understand literally every mystery that occurred on Rokkenjima and is therefore able to become a Game Master for a board of his own, taking on the title of Warlock. It is also through this desire to know everything that Battler was able to keep fighting long enough to be able to even try to make up for hurting the most important people in his life.
Of course, he is also aided by his other greatest virtue, which is just how dang stubborn he is. It's very hard to make Battler give up once he's set his mind to something and those who come to know and trust him know that he will always keep trying to find solutions, even in the darkest of times.
How aware are they of their virtue, and how do they act on it in canon?:
Battler is actually much less aware of his virtues. He sees a lot of what is best about him as what created problems in the first place - and to an extent, he's right. However, throughout the course of the games, Battler grows so much as a person that these "negative" traits take on their more positive aspects without him even consciously realizing that he has become a better person. He does not, though, ever hesitate to act when someone is in trouble, nor does he ever stop thinking when in a tough situation.
