Innocent Tsumikui is a fan character whose story is based on the third expansion of Final Fantasy XIV, Shadowbringers.

Born sometime after the events of Shadowbringers, Innocent's true identity is the sin eater Temperance due to a supposed blessing that happened before his birth.

Appearance

Innocent has the appearance of a young man with long blond hair. An inner layer of his attire noticeably covers most of his neck, hiding smaller replicas of the same blades from the Lightwarden Innocence's wings that naturally started forming as soon as he was born. His outfit includes black (shoes), white (shirt and pants), and dark brown (vest and tie) formal attire.

He also wears an alternate outfit that is less formal than his main one. He keeps the same pants and shoes, but wears a white shirt that appears to be slightly frilled. The dark inner layer of attire he wears is replaced with a black collar (meant to be enough to cover everything from the middle to somewhere near the end of his neck) that is large enough to cover the blades.

Upon becoming Temperance, Innocent's skin becomes paler and his eyes turn gray. His skin, most noticeably across his arms, had developed crack-like markings. His hair had slightly lightened and grew even longer, now reaching the back of his knees when it's fully down. Six angel wings grow out of his back, making him appear similar to a seraph. The small blade replicas that were naturally on his neck had extended from their tips to form solid golden lines in intricate designs down his chest and back.

Temperance wears a white robe that reveals his chest and some of his back. He also wears golden greaves that are exactly like Innocence's.

Personality

Throughout Innocent's life, he has always been a quiet individual, but he is shown to be rather kind upon being able to speak to him. Despite being a hybrid between sin eater and Hume and being fully aware of it, Innocent remains passive and isn't willing to harm anyone.

He is also quite curious, shown by his interest in events that happened prior to his birth, which is mostly everything that happened before and during Shadowbringers. However, due to knowing of the Lightwarden Innocence and his soul being merged with his, that is who he truly wants to know about. It's also why he primarily has an interest in what happened in Eulmore and Kholusia.

As Temperance, his personality remains the same. However, as a sin eater who is able to control himself entirely and is still passive, Temperance is actually afraid of his "fate repeating again". That exact fear is what made him allow himself to become Temperance.

Temperance also desperately wants anyone who had come to defeat him to stay away from him. He somewhat has the belief that despite being considered a Lightwarden, there is a chance he is truly a "seraph from the heavens" because of his lack of power, which was most likely also influenced by his parents calling him an angel.

Abilities

As a Hume, Innocent can be compared to a machinist. However, Innocent primarily specializes in firearms. He doesn't use most fully mechanical based weapons that an actual machinist uses. The names of his unique skills that don't belong to an actual machinist reference both Innocence and the fact that he's truly a sin eater.

As the Lightwarden Temperance, Innocent holds a firearm that is very similar to the Revolver of the Forgiven. Temperance's attacks are somewhat based on the mechanical aspects of the machinist skills except for when he enters his second phase indicated by "Fabricated Immaculate Authority". He is unable to use any of the unique skills he had as Innocent.

Unique Skills

• Light's Embrace: Innocent fires six bullets that have a chance of inflicting a unique debuff called "Forbidden Destiny", which deals a bit of damage overtime for 20 seconds.
• Immaculate Wrath: After "Light's Embrace" is used, there is a 20% chance for "Immaculate Wrath" to be able to be activated. Innocent calls out to the "blessed angel" within his soul, which allows Innocent to summon blades around him. It can be used once until the 20% chance caused by "Light's Embrace" allows it to be activated again.
• Purest Heart: Innocent is able to heal up to 35% of his health.

Abilities as Temperance

Fabricated Immaculate Authority: A derivative of Innocence's "Flaming Sword" ability, named after the "Immaculate Authority" meter that appears during the actual attack in FFXIV. As such, it can still inflict devastating damage upon anyone pierced by it. Instead of blades, feathers from Temperance's wings shoot out and form themselves into blade-like objects. At this point, his attacks completely change into weaker variants of Innocence's attacks.

Justice's Reincarnation: A ray of light fires from the firearm Temperance initially holds. It deals severe damage upon whoever is in front of it.

Heaven's Fall: Temperance fires several bullets from his firearm in front of him, hitting multiple targets at once if they're caught in it. The most damage is inflicted upon who he's targetting, but it deals less damage on anyone else. It is similar to the machinist's "Ricochet" skill.

Angel's Blessing: Temperance's resistance to most attacks increases for 15 seconds. This suddenly activates right before "Guilty or Innocent" is activated. If his health falls to the point it would be automatically executed, the effects are cancelled out before they're meant to end.

Guilty or Innocent: Temperance's final attack before entering his second phase. His firearm turns into two cannons in a similar style, launching rays of light similar to the ones during "Justice's Reincarnation" that follow Temperance as he charges forward three times in different directions. Upon the third attack, the cannons collapse and turn into silver blades that are unavoidable as they rain down.

Trivia

• The surname Innocent was born with, Angelus, means "angel".
• As Temperance, attacks such as "Fabricated Immaculate Authority" aren't exactly under his control. Temperance forcefully gives into Innocence, awakening similar abilities within him.
• Innocent (before becoming Temperance) will never wear anything that would reveal the blades on his neck. Either he would wear the inner layer he normally has or the collar he wears in his alternate outfit.
• The name "Temperance" comes from one of the seven heavenly virtues (and also one of the four cardinal virtues), which means self control or self restraint.
  • Temperance is a sin eater who is also called a "Heavenly Virtue" and is known to be the only one of his kind as there aren't six others. As the "Cardinal Virtues" already exist in FFXIV (but are not named after the seven heavenly virtues in particular and so there isn't already a "Temperance" or even the Latin form of the word being used), he cannot be called that.
• The blades on Innocent's neck are exactly the same as Innocence's wing blades to the point their texture and composition are the same despite being much smaller and permanently attached to his neck. However, they are unable to pierce through his skin, allowing him to have them without any issues.
• As Temperance, without being connected to Innocence in some way, he would inevitably die. Temperance completely lives off of him at that point and separating them would result in death.
• Innocent's backstory clearly has inspiration from that of Innocence's, but other than the fact that their souls are merged, they are not meant to be the same person.
• Innocent had considered leaving Eulmore and Kholusia entirely in order to attempt to start anew. However, he was afraid of somehow being recognized as a hybrid.
• For those unaware, the reason why Innocent is called a "Hyur" or a "Hume" is because that's what humans are called in FFXIV. However, they're only called Humes in The First, which is the shard (dimension or any other way I've seen it described) where Innocent is meant to exist.
