To be honest, having Flora Beast characters of my own is something that I've wanted to work on for a good long while. It was something that sparked the long-on-hiatus piece over three female Flora Beasts that I have on the backburner that recently saw some resurgence with Gardecia getting some art. Although it slowly died down again.

Although, working with a friend on their recent runthrough of Disgaea 2 kind of got me interested again, so I created a male Flora Beast that actually isn't a femboy or such, but an actual guy. Seemed like a good change to work with. So, here is Lexis, the Photinia, a Class 5 Flora Beast.

I honestly don't have a huge plethora of info on him except a handful of things, but that might change soon. Keep in mind the following info is based around information of the Flora Beasts of Disgaea, which this character is based around.

I want to say he's almost a bit brash. Took up offensive magic a bit more than normal Flora Beasts, so it's almost made him a bit cocky. I do say almost, because power like that could make anyone cocky, really. He's set up dominantly with Wind and Star magic. He's the kind of person who's notably reserved, though, naturally. He often won't be the first to start a conversation, but is willing to contribute to it. Not at all an aggressive individual by nature, he's more introverted than extroverted, preferring to let people deal with their own problems than jumping into them to settle them himself, much to his own detriment at times.

Very defensive in combat, with heavy use of his natural techniques and magic to keep others healed and ready, but is not afraid to step it up with offensive magic if he has to. In many situations where he's threatened in some way, he prefers to either avoid the conflict or try to delegate and talk it out first. Once he's comfortable with someone, he tends to open his petals a bit more, but isn't a fast talker by any means. Rapid changing of topics tends to unnerve him quite a bit. In close proximity with people that he honestly cares for, he's a bit more open, tending to probe a little every now and then, which leads to him coming off as more forward and a bit too brash for his own good. Due to his tendencies, he's not a fully social person, so his conversational techniques tend to come off as awkward, but they do sometimes get the job done in trying to de-escalate situations.

He prefers a defensive approach versus an offensive one. He has put a lot of emphasis on resilience and defense with his style of gear he brings to the table. Doesn't put any emphasis on speed, he'll get there when he gets there. Some emphasis on Intelligence and Attack due to needing to train in those areas out of necessity, but he's dominantly a defensive-minded individual in combat. He'd rather outlast an opponent versus outdamage.

I don't know, it's a bit hodgepodged, but a decent base if anything else.
