Aslinn is a playable character in Fire Emblem Awakening. Aslinn is Sixtine and Gangrel's son, and Validar's grandson.

Profile

Aslinn's origins are mystery. He's the Sixtine and Gangrel's future child who traveled to the past. Due to his father's unknown status in the alternate future, if he really died or survived, it is speculated that he came from an another timeline. Aslinn was accompanying his mother, much older, but was caught in the flow of time and was transported into the past. He awoke alone, with a levin sword in a scabbard on his hip, in a grass champ, and has lost most of his memory. Then, he traveled into the world, hoping to reunite with his mother, the only thing remaining from his past life. 

In Aslinn's paralogue, Aslinn eventually arrives in the Ruins of times, but is attacked by Risen. Fortunatly, Sixtine and the army arrive in the ruins, in the hope of finding the Naga's tear. Aslinn, by yelling at Risen, is heared by Sixtine, who goes rescue him. They eventually meet and talk. Even though he's confused, due to his mother's younger appareance, Aslinn is happy to having find back her and joins the army of his mother. After leaving the ruins, Aslinn is confused when he learns about the alternate future and the fact he time-traveled. He also shows difficulties to remember others things than his mother, and his desire to become a great tactician like her. Nevertheless, he tries to not thinking about it too much, glad to be able for now to spend more time with his mother, and learn all she can learn to him.

The Future Past

In The Future Past DLC, Aslinn appears as a boss on Map 1 and 2. On these maps, he's loyal to Grima and leads the assault against the remaining children, to kill them. If Sixtine talks to him on the Map 1, she tries to convince him about the bad intention Grima has. After a long talk, Aslinn becomes upset, and, not sure anymore who to trust, leaves the map. On Map 2, Aslinn comes back as a boss character. If Sixtines talks to him one more time, he confesses he doesn't know what to do anymore, what is good or wrong. Finally, Sixtines convinces him to retreat.

If Sixtine doesn't talk to him on Map 1, he's injured, forcing him to leave the map. On the Map 2, he comes back with his strenghtened faith. If Sixtine doesn't talked to him on Map 1, it's impossible to talk to him on Map 2, and is so killed. He can also be killed on Map 2 if Sixtine doesn't talk to him, even though she talked to him on Map 1.

On the Map 3, if Aslinn was killed, Grima revealed that she had manipulated his memories. It is unknown what happens to him if he left the maps, as he's not mentionned at all afte Grima dies or vanishes.

Personnality

Aslinn, unlike his mother, is amnesic but has memories of Sixtine. He considers her as an idol he must follow and copy, even surpass, wishing to be a tactician like her. For that, he always tries to outwit her, in a lot of domains, from pranks to real strategies. He loves his mother, not hesitating to say she's dear to his heart, and taking any advice and lesson she's able to give to him.

He's kind of innocent and optimistic, prefering to see the positive sides rather negatives ones. He has a childish enthusiasm, and is always ready to help and to listen others. He follows easily others into their projects. He's pleasant and supports odd or misunderstood peoples. He's himself wacky, and so understands weird allies, able to perfectly be in their minds and get what they want or mean. He can be considered as dorky, but doesn't care others' judgement about him. Aslinn is also determined, and doesn't easily give up when he has a wish in mind. He has huge facilities for learn tactics and informations. He loves bugs, finding them " cutest things in the world " , though cockroachs gross him out.

Despite Aslinn's innocence, and having no memory from his father, Gangrel, he shares with this one a big complicity and some personnality traits. Like him, he's bloodthirsty, and has a deep interest for blood and violence. Nevertheless, he doesn't find the problem with that, able to quietly talk about it, without taboo. Seedy stuffs also amuse him, and doesn't disturb him at all. For a strategy, he already simulated his death by drowning, for attract ennemies, but failed, attracting the army and his mother instead. He also wished to hit water with lightnings for kill ennemies, but his idea was abandoned, due to the possibility to kill his allies too.

Aslinn doesn't like to expose his weaknesses, and by extension, his insecurity about his memory loss. He feels a huge need to recover any little lost memory, especially towards his father. He tries various methods for recover them, to the soft way, staring at his father's face to the harder way, bashing his head with wooden posts and books in the hopes of jogging his memory. In a despair mood, he already knocked his head at multiple times on a wall until injuries, but was stopped. Being the prince of Plegia, he also studies a lot of books about his native country's past, in the hope of remembering something.

I don't want to murder my friends. I don't want to challenge you. I am not used to associate your appareance with a warm feeling. I cannot knowingly fight you. Forgive me, Master. I must withdraw...
