Virion

Virion is a character from the Fire Emblem Awakening games.

Virion is the former duke of Rosanne, a fallen country in Valm. In his support with Panne, it is revealed that he fled Rosanne because he believed otherwise the people would've died for him defending against Walhart.

In the AWA fics, Virion is a student at the AWA Academy.

Appearance
Virion has a dark-blue shoulder-length hair and has brown eyes. He wears a white long-sleeve dress shirt underneath a brown & gray high-collared leather vest with a brown belt strapped around his waist and a circular plate on his left hip, dark-gray pants with brown pintstripes, brown boots, brown gloves, a white ascot and a shoulder, elbow and arm armor on his left arm.

Personality
Virion is somewhat detached from the world. While he acts friendly, his words and actions leave his grace and refinement somewhat unclear. Although coming off as a coward, he can actually be quite noble at times, as is the case in a multitude of his supports. That nobility also reflects his caring nature towards other people, as his support with Cherche reveals that he took the downfall of his country the hardest out of anyone. Because of this, Cherche forces him to promise her that when times get tough, he will not give up or feel down because of it.

Though people in the army think of him as just a boaster, most of his statements seem to be accurate, as he goes to show in his supports, revealing for instance that he is a very talented dancer with even Olivia herself stating that he is better than her; although this could simply be Olivia's modesty at work. He also seems to be resistant to Tharja's attempts to hex him into doing her bidding, and although he follows her orders, it is later revealed that it had no effect on Virion, and he was obeying out of his own free will. In fact, in his S-Support with Tharja, he reveals that the reason he followed her commands was because he saw the good will behind her orders.

Possessing quite the intellect, his conversations with certain characters normally revolve around pointing out and elaborating on his interlocutor's problems before they can even answer, while showing a talent for political intrigue in his supports with Lissa and Frederick, being able to read people in his supports with Miriel and Cordelia and a knack for strategy in his supports with Robin, proving his abilities match his position. However, he can be quite ruthless when it comes to combat, as the only reason he kept beating Robin was because he was willing to sacrifice his troops in order to achieve victory, whereas Robin was reluctant to sacrifice so much as a single person.

He is a shameless flirt—but one who becomes offended if someone suggests he has more lecherous intentions. There are instances where he can get quite flustered, however, as his failure to properly identify Libra's gender causes him to question the assertive confidence with which he approaches ladies. Nevertheless, Virion spends a lot of time attempting to woo women and is willing to do anything for them. He spends more time at the mirror than anyone else in the army. His birthday is December 10.

Abilities
Virion has the makings of the Gordin archetype stat wise. As such, his most notable trait is how quickly his skill grows; he has a 70% growth rate, which will let him cap that quickly and provide excellent critical sniping skills. His speed also grows very quickly as well, allowing him to double attack earlier than most units. However, true to his unit type, his defense growths are not very high, which can offset his fast-growing HP and make him a bit more fragile than expected. However, Virion can still function very well as a bow user, especially with the Killer Bow due to his terrifying skill.

Virion performs well in his two promotions Sniper and Bow Knight. As a Sniper Virion can continue to shine as the main Archer of the game and can continue to use long-ranged bows. Regardless of which of the two Virion remains, Bowfaire provides an excellent strength boost to Virion's modest strength growth. Accuracy +20 also is a noteworthy skill to ensure that he hits his target, but this should not be too much of a problem given his Skill and Luck. As a Bow Knight, Virion gains a slightly better strength growth on top of the ability to use a close ranged weapon, Swords. Bowbreaker is Virion's go to skill in this class, allowing him to be an anti-bow unit—mostly, this is noteworthy for patching Virion's bow weakness if he reclasses to a Wyvern Lord. All in all, Virion is a great archer fit for any team.
