Owain

Owain, also known as Owain Dark and Eudes, is a character from the Fire Emblem series.
== Charactah Account ==
Lissa's future son. His elaborate theatrics suggest a need to stand out, as do the absurd names he bestows upon his weapons and his "special moves".
Described as a "colorful" character by Lucina, Owain has a habit of speaking in an overly theatrical fashion that most find tiresome and some find endearing. Always eager to engage others in duels, Owain attributes this to his sword hand craving battle, even though this is, in actuality, due to his desire to prove his mettle and improve his combat skills. Moreover, when facing people with actual bloodlust, such as Navarre, Owain quickly drops the act and desperately tries to diffuse the situation upon realizing that he went too far with it.
Owain is also known to make innumerable references to past Fire Emblem titles when naming weapons and moves, as he strongly believes that doing so imbues them with power that transforms them into sentient allies instead of mere tools, though he also mention past heroes in the series in some of his responsive outbursts. Owain's relationship with his parents is equally strange and devoted as well, as in his supports with Lissa, he thinks she is doting to a fault, ironically claiming it's as if she lives in her own fantasy world, while his father ponders why Owain goes on and on with his antics when neither of them were anything like that, but due to them dying saving Owain, he vows to protect them.

== Trivia ==
* Owain was voted the second most popular male character in the official Fire Emblem Awakening Character Popularity Poll in Japan.
** Owain, as Odin, placed 8th in the official popularity poll for Fire Emblem Fates.
** Owain came in 20th place for males in the Fire Emblem Heroes Choose Your Legends popularity poll. He had 8,383 votes. Odin is just an alias for Owain, despite this, Odin was placed in the poll as a separate character. Odin came in 40th place for males and had 3,256 votes.
* Owain's birthday is the same day that Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem was first released in Japan.
* Owain shares his English voice actor, Kaiji Tang, with Shiro and Ignatius from Fates.
** In Heroes, he also shares his voice actor with Narcian and Lloyd.
** He also shares his Japanese voice actor, Hidenori Takahashi, with Three Houses' Dedue.
* In one of his battle quotes, he refers to the other previous titles of the series, using their subtitles, such as Radiant Dawn, The Sacred Stones, Shadow Dragon, and even The Binding Blade.
** He also has attacks he calls Ike's Ghost, Nephenee's Lance, and Shinon Strike, referencing the Tellius Series games.
** In Owain's C Support with Noire, he references Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, when he says,"By the red hair of Eliwood!"
** In the Hidden Truths DLC, Odin references the titles of the three paths in Fates: Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation: "I suppose being heroes is our birthright. Or maybe we crave the thrill of conquest... the seduction of revelation."
* Owain's map sprite as a Myrmidon shows him in his trademark pose with his hand covering his face.
* If Owain obtains an S-Support with Lucina, a Chrom-fathered Cynthia or Kjelle, or an Emmeryn-mothered Morgan, their status screens will refer to each other as "Companion", instead of "Husband" or "Wife", like in the Japanese version. The reason for this was probably to remove the implications of an incestuous relationship between cousins. However, all support dialogue between the latter three do not change regardless if Cynthia and Kjelle are the daughters of Chrom or Morgan is the daughter of Emmeryn.
* Owain's official artwork in Awakening depicts him wielding a Killing Edge.
* During his paralogue in Awakening, Chrom makes a mention of Owain using a style that appears very similar to that of the Ylissean Houses’, but with a spin on it.
* During one of his event tiles with his father, Owain mentions that his father used to take him to the armory and inscribe “I love Lissa” into his weapons. Whether or not Owain took this as an inspiration for also inscribing things on weapons is unknown.
* If Male Robin marries Lissa, Owain will have both the Exalted Blood and Fell Dragon Blood. Owain is one of four children who can possibly have this trait, the other 3 being both Morgans and Lucina.
* Owain is the only one of three returning child characters in Fates whose starting class is not the same as his Awakening starting class.
** In Awakening, Owain does not naturally have Dark Mage in his class set, needing either Robin, Libra, or Henry as his father to have the class.
** Odin's secondary class in Fates, Samurai, is his Myrmidon base class in Awakening.
** He is also the only one to have the same alias used in the Japanese and International versions of Fates.
* In Fates, if Odin is given certain accessories, he will react in different ways. These are Lucina's Butterfly Mask in which he states that he has always wanted to try it on, the Bear Hat where he questions if you have the same fashion sense as a member of his family, the Awakening Shield where he notes that it greatly resembles his country's treasure, and finally the Dragon Feather where he drops his over-dramatic act and simply states that he does not want to be near it nor does he want it.
* Interestingly enough, Odin seems to be able to sense Ophelia’s prescience at the beginning of her paralogue.
* During Odin's supports with Selena, he makes references to the Harvest Scramble and Hot-Spring Scramble Xenologues from Awakening.
** His supports with Laslow also reference the Harvest Scramble and fourth CD drama, as well as the events of their support conversations from Awakening.
** Furthermore, if Odin is stationed at a food resource, he will reference the Harvest Scramble and his mother wearing a party hat.
* In Project X Zone 2, Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution references Owain by claiming she can't control her burning blood when paired with Chrom and Lucina.
* In his supports with Azura it is revealed he is afraid of heights, or more specifically, bridges. It is speculated this is alluding to a moment in The Future Past 2 DLC from Awakening.
* Odin is the only character in Fates whose secondary class does not use the standard blue color but instead uses his yellow color scheme.
* Odin is the only one of the 3 children who return from Awakening who cannot die in a narrative sense. Laslow will die in Birthright if he is defeated in Chapter 26 before Xander is. Selena dies if she is defeated while being playable in Conquest and Revelation. Odin, like most male characters, will not die when defeated when playable in Conquest and Revelation and is only defeated, but spared when he is an enemy in Birthright.
* Owain is the winner of the 20th Voting Gauntlet (Mothers and Sons) in Fire Emblem Heroes.
* Owain appears as an Offense-Type Spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
** In his Spirit Battle, he is represented by Chrom who frequently taunts to represent Owain's constant theatrics, who's also wielding a Killing Edge.
* Tiki, Owain, Takumi and Sakura are the only non-original characters in Warriors to receive brand new artworks instead of a render of an already existing artwork from their games.
** Lyn and Robin technically counts too, but Lyn's artwork is inspired by hers from Awakening while Robin's only artworks were from Heroes.
* Owain's personality has similarities with the "chuunibyou" (second year (of middle school) syndrome) archetype in Japanese media, where a character has delusions of grandeur yet try to play it off as being cool, whilst believing they have a great hidden power.
