Character: Ludger Will Kresnik
Age: 20
Canon: Tales of Xillia 2
Canon Point: Post Elle End (True End)

Background: Here!

Personality: Ludger is a very real feeling young adult. He's not perfect, nowhere near it, and all of his flaws are very apparent. When the game starts, he's shown waking up late for an appointment, showing up for an important job interview (if you could even call it that) late. Even during said interview, he manages to fling himself into trouble, getting his brother to remark that he's short on brains, but not on guts. Ludger is someone who lets his heart guide him rather than his brain, though that doesn't mean that he's completely incapable of thinking things through, either.

He's decisive, which is observed by Bisley. If he knows something has to be done, he's the one that makes the choice to do it, and follows through with his decisions. This can be said about when he tries to stop a hijacked train at the beginning of the game, and is shown again when he agrees to destroy other worlds and their populations to ensure that the prime dimension will remain stable.

This is where another defining characteristic of Ludger comes in. He's an oddly serious and focused person at times. That shows when characters ask him how he can be so okay with destroying alternate worlds like that, and he simply and calmly states how he knows that it's wrong, but it's what he has to do, since he has the power to do so. Even then, this is a front by Ludger, who was trying to shoulder the blame of everything by himself, and not have it weigh on anyone else's conscious. Ludger thinks about how his friends would feel, and acts according to that. Jude even mentions himself that he has a kind heart.

In that sense, he's partially the team's mom too. Ludger is often shown looking after his fellow party members, either by giving them advice or trying to cheer them up. An example of this is with Elle, when she was upset about her father, Ludger attempted to make her soup. Even when he burned his arm when the soup spilled, he continued to stick to his choice to make the soup, even though he was injured.

Though, like I mentioned, Ludger isn't without his flaws. He's shown to be bratty, even as an adult. However, this is mostly just with situations that involve his brother as well. Julius asks him for his pocket watch, and instead of handing it over like someone normally would, Ludger angrily spikes it into the ground in front of him. The whole situation with Julius' reappearance generally have him in that mood, being snippy or bratty towards him in his dialogue choices. He's also shown disagreeing with Julius' clothing choices for himself, disliking that Julius always makes him dress nicely for different occasions.

This bratty side can also be shown as playful, though. With Elle, especially, when they play off of each others jokes. There's a point in the game where Elle declares that Ludger is her partner, but won't tell anyone else because it's a secret. When she tells Fractured Milla that it was on a need to know basis, Ludger chimes in with the same thing, in the same tone. He's prone to joking around like that around the party, more so with Elle as the game goes on.

The ending I took him from shows off another side of him as well. Namely, his self-sacrificing side. Quite literally. As mentioned above, Ludger is someone that doesn't like letting other people shoulder a burden that he can carry. If he can be the one to drag it around, then he'll gladly do it. Especially for someone like Elle. Ludger sacrifices himself to ensure that Elle had a future in the prime dimension, even if he wouldn't have one in the process. People would probably think it as some heroic gesture, to let a child live instead of himself, but it wasn't really anything heroic to him.

He just decided to choose what he thought was right.

Abilities: Here! Ludger also has a fun little power called the chromatus, which is fully explained here. Ludger is currently at Level 4, which is the highest level the chromatus can reach, and is the most dangerous one in terms of harming himself. Hence, he would likely not use in, unless he really had to, but it would be understandable if that was toned down when being brought to Empatheias. ... Also, obviously, he won't be destroying dimensions while he's here.

Alignment: Sosyne. Ludger is the definition of anger and calm. For example, when the discussion about destroying worlds comes up, Ludger is eerily calm. Then, at another point, when Ludger gets frustrated, he throws his watch on the ground like a child.

Other: He'll be bringing his cat Rollo with him!
