α CHARACTER
Name: Hubert von Vestra
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Brief Info: His favorite Sleep Token song would 1000% be Dark Signs. Anyways, here we have a brooding and intimidating to look at dark mage and right hand of the a future Empress. He takes everything in life way too seriously, but then, it's kind of his job and justifiable. If he is being a jerk, it is because he expects you to do better. If he is glaring at you from across the room, don't worry, that's just his face - it means he is curious about you, and his attention is not inherently malicious. By the time someone learns that he does have ill intentions, it is already too late and they probably deserved it.
He is the gruff dad friend of the group, but not in a cuddly way - more in the jump scare you by appearing behind you and asking why you aren't using your time more wisely sort of way. He does have a sensitive side that hardly anyone will see. Hubert is extremely focused and devoted to Edelgard, and her future, and the wellbeing of their empire, and absolutely nothing in this world will cause him to deviate from that. He matured quickly and hasn't wasted time with fun and frivolity for over a decade. Hubert exists to be the informant and spymaster of his empire, and also, the blade in the shadow to do whatever must be done to see Edelgard succeed, so that her reputation can remain as clean and pure and inspiring as possible. He lives to serve, but is more a proactive shadow and hardly a mindless pet. If he did not deem her worthy of his service, he would not be as he is.
I love the idea of bringing him to a place where he is removed from the war of their nations, and political intrigue and turmoil, and must act for himself and any new connections or alliances he might form, because he has never been in a situation to define himself outside of his place in his canon's time and his devoted service to Edelgard. The concepts of this game would also be very interesting considering his areas of expertise and penchant for intellectual brooding.
He looks scary and moody but once he gets to know someone he is very protective and devoted, and he is always polite, if a bit sharp. I love the "ew what a dick" to allies/friends pipeline, as well as the "when I first met you I was considering if it would be a challenge to kill you" to "the greatest challenge was confessing I am in love with you" canonical bit of CR, so I hope for enabling. c:
Vessel Type & General ideas: For Token, Shadowbinder makes the most sense, considering his canon role and powers. To stretch in a different direction, venomous drake would also be very fascinating and fun and out of his comfort zone.
He struggles with the idea of worship because in his view, the ones people worship are, one way or another, unworthy - either because they are as flawed as everyone else or have failed to protect those who worship them. So I would enjoy watching him grind his teeth figuring out how to deal with all the everything, while coming to terms with how lost and out of place he would feel, and desperate for purpose and belonging.

Cooper (former FBI agent) especially has a lot to say about Duty and such. Though his approach is more chaotic, as he abandoned the orders of his bosses to dedicate himself to saving a teenagerβs life. To him that is his duty more than his orders. I think this could be very fun CR.
My other detective is Harrier Du Bois, and I think theyβd clash more on the grounds of Hubert not being impressed with what looks like a living disaster. Either could be fun.

Yes, those concepts excite me too. GROWTH. CHALLENGE. We love to see it.
I am somewhat familiar with Du Bois and Disco Elysium and a fan of Twin Peaks. Knowing someone in the world of DWRP is playing Cooper gives me nostalgic bliss.
I love the idea of psychic dudes hovering around and by the nature of this ability, making Hubert and his need to be mister tight-lipped, keeper-of-secrets, aura-of-unknown, visibly uncomfortable. (Also because he deserves it for all the inner joy he has found in his demeanor and personality unsettling others).
I feel like with Harrier he might have thoughts of "why are you like this" and "I loathe the way you exist so disastrously... yet, the results speak for themselves". He will, ultimately, judge people by results, though he is rarely quiet about his opinions regarding action and character.
Cooper would probably be a positive influence, however uncomfortable his persistence and knack for Knowing Shit I Didn't Tell Youβ’ makes Hubes feel. I am so curious for the CR.

I am also unfamiliar with your canon, but my favorite thing about DWRP is the mysterious canons you get to know along the way and CR with unknowns. (Also, your profile layout is amazing. :v Such aesthetic!)
