⌈ CHARACTER SECTION ⌉
Character: Natsu Dragneel
Age: Was born 400+ Years ago but via time machine he wound up in the present time in his canon so I guess theoretically around or little over 18? Officially he's ? so that's the best guess I have.
Canon: Fairy Tail
Canon Point: Chapter 466 of the manga

Background: Background here.


Personality: Natsu is a very loud and energetic individual.

He is completely loyal to those he befriends and fiercely determined in the face of adversity. Anyone who harms his friends becomes a high priority target and he will stop at nothing to make sure they pay with interest for their transgression.

More often than not, Natsu is described as being headstrong because of that and that would not be a mistaken acusastion. He can be fairly simplistic when faced with a challenge, taking the direct approach or charging headfirst into a fight even if the odds are completely stacked against him. Even so he is not entirely hopeless when it comes to strategy.

Because he likes to partake in fights so often, Natsu is the type to quickly spot weaknesses in his opponents and come up with ideas and tricks to exploit them. Some can be fairly outlandish like using his firebreath after sticking his head into the ground in order to destroy an enemy's footing. He has also shown to be able to defeat an enemy with wit alone providing that enemy is not exactly the brightest person in the world. Sadly this only applies in battles where as in every day life, he has constantly shown a massive lack of common sense, much to the frustration of his friends.

He can get fairly vindictive against an enemy who harms the guild as a whole or one of the people most important to him. However if the other were to show signs of true regret for past actions, he will forgive them eventually.

Once such example would be Jellal who attempted to sacrifice Erza for the sake of his scheme. Later on when Jellal returned, Natsu still held a grudge against him and it was not until the other took a blow meant for Natsu, that the dragon slayer finally was able to trust him to the point that he was even willing to take on the army when they arrived to take him away for his past crimes. He knew how much he meant to Erza and it took her command for him to stop despite the hopeless odds.

Another example was when Cobra was betrayed by his own comrades. At the time Natsu expressed his sympathy followed by anger for the betrayal even though he had fought a very fierce battle with the man only moments prior.

Natsu always strives to prove his strength. After his one year of training he actually reveals to Lucy that he doesn't fight just for the fight but in order to test his strength against his friends so he finds no joy in the life and death battles such as the one with Alvarez. He tends to pick fights and start brawls with those close to him be they close friend or not. Mirajane, Erza, Laxus and even the strongest member of the guild, Gildarts are often the people he likes to challenge to a fight, constantly saying he would beat them at last even if every time he ends up taken out with complete ease. However that is not because he is weak. He also greatly respects those he loses to and more often than not befriends those he fights against except for those mastermind types that are behind everything bad he might be going up against or endangering his friends or the guild.

He is still quite young in terms of experience if not physical age and his potential has been acknowledged by many of those he has challenged in the past. He also never holds a grudge when losing against them since he sees every member of the guild as his family. This is most likely connected to the fact that Igneel inexplicably abandoned him when he was a small child.

Ever since the death of Igneel Natsu has been training for a year aiming for the strength he needs to protect everyone in the guild. However it is not just raw power that he has earned. Since his reunion with Lucy after his one year of training Natsu has shown a considerable amount of forward thinking and even restraint most evident when he refused to go all out against the regular troops of Alvarez since he wanted to preserve his magic power for the tougher opponents he was sure to face.

A less positive growth is the fact that he has reached the point where he is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice of his life however after he was forcefully pulled away by Happy there is hope that he has seen the error of such an extreme decision.

He is aware of the consequences of his actions now, something most evident in how subdued he tends to act after getting some of his bigger mistakes from the near past pointed out to him.


Abilities: Full list over here.

Since his one year of training Natsu's firepower has gone a bit into the extremes. He has shattered a gigantic foe taller than any mountain in one punch using his Fire Dragon King's demolition fist technique. His base flame breath attack has also reached such heights that he incinerated about a hundred of Alvares rank and file soldiers before fighting with his brother. So these two abilities might need toning down. A general drop in power for those should do if necessary.

Alignment: Thras was pretty much made for him. He is extremely brave to the point of recklessness however after his confrontation with Gildarts and losing his adoptive father and also finding out that the biggest antagonist in his story is actually his brother and that if he kills him Natsu will die as well, he has an ample grasp of Fear as well. However he does lean more towards the brave aspect once he sorts out the jumble of his emotions right now.
