25 Things About Me: Kratos Aurion From Tales Of Symphonia
1. I feel it"s a waste of time for people to guess my age. I know I don"t look it, but try over 4000 years old.2. Before I was tasked to protect the Chosens, I was a royal guard to the family of Tethe"alla.
3. Living as an Aristocrat wasn"t always greatò€¦ I dreaded going to fancy parties because I couldn"t dance at all.
4. I was there when Mithos Yggdrasill used the Eternal Sword to create Sylvarant and Tethe"alla. I admit it"s an incredible weapon since not too many swords can split a world in two.
5. If I had known that my family survived Kvar"s attack on the cliff, I wouldn"t have gone back to Lord Yggdrasill to join his plans for the Age of Lifeless Beings.

6. Being the only human companion in Yggdrasill"s group, I had to ingest an Aionis stone to cast magic like the other half-elves. This was when I joined the Cruxis and became one of the first angels. Don"t worryò€¦ it"s not a cult like it sounds.
7. Many people question my motives and wonder where my allegiance lies, but all I want is a better way for the two worlds to survive.
8. When I was hired to protect Colette in her Journey of Regeneration, I didn"t expect to babysit her amateur bodyguards as part of my job requirement.
9. Before I found out Lloyd was my son, I was annoyed with all his yells and fuss. Now, I find it amusing and somewhat proud as he must have gotten that side from me.
10. I"m quite an expert when it comes to upgrading weapons. Most of it came with my experience from the Kharlan War. Try battling for a thousand years and you"ll learn just about every weapon and raw materials out there. Take the Flamberge, for an example, I gave it to Lloyd to use with the Vorpal Sword to create the Material Blade!
11. I hail from Derris-Kharlan, a third world and base for Cruxis. It might not be the best place to live, but you can"t deny that it has an amazing view.
12. Zelos tells people that he dislikes me because of how I act towards Lloyd but we all know he"s jealous that I am more popular than he is.
13. I enjoy listening to classical music. Nothing relaxes the mind like the sound of violins and clarinets.
14. I have taught Lloyd many sword techniques, but he doesn"t realize how I have also learned from him. Had I not been reunited with my son, I may have never changed my fatalist view and understand that I have more control to my life.
15. My favorite genre in video games is first person shooters. It"s nice to escape my reality once in a while where I"m actually a poor handler of arms and a very bad aimer.
16. I couldn"t ask for a better family pet than Noishe. He may insist that he"s an ordinary dog, but he"s actually a Protozoan and carry many forms. We actually go back 4000 years so I know he can be trusted with Lloyd.
17. Raine"s writing a book compiled of the party"s famous quotes. Not surprisingly, she"d got "Feel the painò€¦ of those inferior beingsò€¦ as you burn in hell," listed under my profile. Guess I made quite an impression back thenò€¦.
18. After talking about death with Lloyd, it"s strange how fast one"s perspectives can change. I failed to realize it before, but you really can"t accomplish anything in deathò€¦ it"s only in life where you can make a difference.
19. I"ve starred in six other games aside from Tales of Symphonia. Lloyd even mentions me in Soul Calibur Legends when he tells Ivy how lucky he is to have two fathers.
20. I"m sure everyone has told you that I like to sing in the shower. There is nothing wrong with that, because unlike some, I actually can carry a tune!
21. I had my doubts about Remiel being Colette"s real father. You would think a guy that dislikes human would be concerned about this own daughter associating with them.
22. Along with Colette, I"ve been teaching Genis more about the angelic language. When dealing with brats, I tend to lose patience quickly. Luckily for Genis, he"s a very bright kid....
23. I like my look in the judgement outfit, but if I had a say in the matterò€¦ it can use more purple!
24. Presea made me a small good luck charm that resembles Noishe so I couldn"t refuse the offer. Like Anna, she was also a part of the Angelus Project.
25. Even though I like visiting different locations, I hate the travel. All the walking that I had to do costs me quite a few pairs of boots.
