Falst is a young lion Ferin and the fourth protagonist to join the main group.

## Personality

Falst is noted to only display emotionally vulnerability when under extreme stress or alone, though he freely shares opinions, frustrations, and annoyance. He can come off as more of a loner type, begrudgingly staying with the group and grumbling about it often. Despite this, he's also shown to be very loyal - putting himself in harms way to protect those who have shown him kindness.

## Appearance

Falst is a hybrid lion ferin, therefore looks to be a mix between a lion and a human.

Falst is short in stature and skinny, which potentially makes him appear younger than he is. He has large, inhuman ears and a flat, triangular nose. Falst's hair is golden in color, this color also being shared by his long, fluffy tail. His hair also tends to stick up with no clear parting, much like a mane. Falst's eyes are a similar bright golden color which shine in the dark, and they have slit pupils which he is rarely if ever drawn without.

Falst is often seen wearing a worn, black, long-sleeved shirt, and dark brown pants. In his first appearance he also wore a tattered brown cloak, though he hasn't been seen in it since the beggining of the Zuurith (city) arc

## Abilities

Falst is reasonably skilled at sneaking and fighting. He was able to steal both Doctor Jolon's lacrima and Erin's bag without being immediately, and withstood Erin's initial attacks. He was also able to manage against a fight against Kendal, Alinua, and Erin later on in his introduction. He has fought mages before. Falst's fighting style is highly reliant on his agility and resourcefulness - he prefers to circle round his enemies and go in for sneak attacks when possible.

###### Ferin Abilities:

* Claws
* Sharp teeth/fangs
* Heightened senses: smell, hearing, night vision

In addition, Falst is shown to be not only able to read and write but also taught himself how to program life spells onto lacrima rather quickly when given access to Erin's textbooks. He is the only member of the cast who has been shown to know how to spellcarve, and has used it to not only attempt to "fix" the Ferin characteristics he has but also to heal Dainix's injuries when the two of them were trapped in ancient ruins.

## History

Falst appears as early as page five of chapter eight, but does not truly become a part of the story until page fifteen of the same chapter when he steals Erin's bag.

Before Kendal, Alinua, and Erin reached Hilltop, Falst stole a large life lacrima from Doctor Jolon's clinic and escaped into the woods. Since then, large chimera have been attacking the town and Jolon asserts it is Falst's work. However, it is revealed later in a confrontation between the trio and the Ferin that he in fact did not create the chimera and instead stole the lacrima and Erin's bag to try and make himself human. After finding that Doctor Jolon was the one behind the chimera, Falst aided the heroes in fighting him and joined their party as they traveled eastward.

## Appearances

Needs citations.

In Chapter 12, Falst initially accompanies Erin and Alinua to the Paladin archives and later to the edge of Zuurith's Arena. He climbs to the top of the arena wall and discovers its purpose for bloodsport after observing Dainix and an unnamed ferin engaged in gladiatorial combat, but must leave before seeing the end of the fight.

In Chapter 13, Falst assumes that Alinua and Erin will help break Kendal out of prison, and is shocked when they are unwilling to. He leaves to break Kendal out on his own, chased by Alinua. Alinua catches up to him on the mountain and confronts him, though the pair are shortly interrupted by Tess and later Caliban in their guard disguise. Upon being caught, Falst grabs Alinua and jumps off the side of the mountain, and the pair return to the embassy.

In Chapter 14, Falst leaves to go shopping with Alinua. The pair soon reunites with Tess, being pursued by Shrike and her bounty hunters. Falst is injured and then knocked out in the ensuing fight; after escaping the guards, Alinua is able to heal him, but cannot wake him up.

In Chapter 15, Falst regains consciousness as he, Tess, and Alinua traverse the city, but is still somewhat impaired.

## Trivia

* Before his name was revealed in the comic it was discovered in the sketches tab because image thirteen was named "falst-899x1024".
	+ Commenters who were unaware of his name generally referred to him as "Lion Boi".
* Since the animal Falst is 'blended' with is a lion, it designates him as a predatory type Ferin and they are often unwelcome in society.
* Due to Falst's desperate wish to be human and his lack of physical change when under extreme stress, it would be safe to assume he is neither a shifter Ferin or an unstable Ferin, and therefore must be a hybrid Ferin.
