Canon Character Section:
History: To properly understand Les Miserables and -- well, the more political minded characters, it helps to have a decent basis of 19th century French history. Since Combeferre is indeed one of the more liberal-leaning characters and primarily Enjolras’ second-in-command, he would have been extremely familiar with quite a few historical events, made studies of them and the philosophers and all that fun stuff.
The first historical event that (indirectly) concerns our dear students would be the French Revolution, which began in 1789 and eventually ended up with the king and queen being guillotined. This revolution was mostly due to a growing dissatisfaction with the discrepancies between the aristocracy and the poor, and the royalty’s seeming indifference. This, of course, led to the formation of the First French Republic --and eventually the terror, too, lead by the National Convention and the Committee of Public Safety. The Committee -- which was made up of primarily extreme left-wingers, fearing overthrow from other countries and dissent at home, proceeded to guillotine most (if not all) of the more moderate left-wingers. This eventually ended with the death of Maximilien Robespierre in 1794.
With the end of the Republic, there was certainly political turmoil in France. At least, there was until Napoleon came to power by way of a coup in 1799; and thus began the First French Empire. France, led by Napoleon, proceeded to conquer a good portion of Europe and got itself involved in quite a few wars. This would lead to Napoleon’s eventual downfall and exile.
The general powers-that-be in Europe at the time were, of course, all in favor of a return to monarchy for France. So a constitutional monarchy was set up and France returned to rule under the Bourbons -- Louis XVIII, followed by Charles X. However, not everyone in France was pleased with this -- especially those who saw this as a betrayal of those who had died for the Republic and their ideals, back during the Terror. This was also primarily due to Enlightenment thinking -- such as Rousseau and his belief that man was meant to rule himself, that everyone should be equal.
Combeferre and his friends were part of this group, even participating in revolts prior to the one that is depicted in the novel. The July Rebellion, in 1830, was the first time they had taken to the barricades. This consisted of Charles X being overthrown and replaced by Louis-Phillipe, who is the king in 1832. He was not well-loved, however, and many of the more liberal people felt betrayed by him being placed on the throne in the first place -- since it was partially done by a man who was a great hero of the Republic, the Marquis de Lafayette.
So, finally -- 1832. It is not exactly a prosperous time for Paris, people starve in the streets and there is a cholera epidemic. There were significant food shortages and a large number of poor in Paris, which only helped to stimulate the revolutionaries’ desire for change. With the death of two important government ministers, Enjolras, Combeferre, and their little band of rebels finally decide to take action. This begins the June Rebellion -- which did actually happen, though there was little to no effect on the government at the time.
Now that the history lesson is done, here’s a little more information about Combeferre and his friends. Combeferre was born in (around) 1805, raised in the south of France by middle-class parents. Upon arriving in Paris as a teenager, he found himself shocked by the general living conditions of the working class as opposed to that of the upper-class. He was also surrounded by many different philosophies, and ended up taking the more liberal ones to heart. Eventually, he met up with Enjolras and they formed their small society of like-minded friends.
Personality: In essence, Combeferre serves as the yin to Enjolras’ yang. He is knowledgeable -- extremely so, on various subjects, and also a champion of the Republican cause. He believes in ‘revolution, but civilization,’ and is unwilling to outright deny anything or prove anything. He is the gentler, warmer side of the fires of revolution -- friendly and curious and yearning for equality, a ‘guide instead of a chief’, as Hugo puts it. Basically he is into anything and everything that suits his fancy, and delights in always learning. He is a steady, guiding hand and a good friend; and sometimes tends to be more sober than silly, if only because his friends tend to go off the rails every so often.
As stated earlier, he is very intelligent, and well-read on most subjects. However, his favorites tend to be those of a political or medical nature, since he is, after all, a doctor-in-training. He shares Enjolras’ belief in equality, and will happily defend the rights of mankind to his death. Combeferre tends to be quick with words and is nearly always ready with a witty retort, especially if someone has done something that he and his friends (brothers, really) do not quite agree with. He is not perhaps as eloquent as some of his friends, but sometimes it only takes a very few words to make an impression. He saves his lofty speeches for when they are needed most.
Combeferre holds very firmly to his beliefs and his sort of self-appointed place as the anchor of the group. He is of the firm belief that progress and education will inspire the people of France and lead them all to the Republic that they have long dreamed of, and isn’t really a fan of unnecessary violence or bloodshed. However, he is sensible enough to realize that they need change now instead of waiting for it, and as such will go along with Enjolras’ more revolutionary measures when they are needed. He is the moderate to Enjolras’ eloquent firebrand, and he takes pains to keep this in mind when and if he has to.
He is certainly friendly enough, though tends to be reserved and quiet in company -- unless, of course, there is political discussion going on, or one of the many other things he has an interest in. Overall, he’s really just a good-natured, more than slightly nerdy philosopher.
Powers/Abilities: As stated, he reads pretty much anything he can get his hands on. So he is knowledgeable on a good amount of subjects, though certainly not an expert by any means. He is a graduate of the polytechnic school, studying primarily medicine, and is a doctor in training. He is also a decent shot with a musket and a pistol.
Appearance: Killian Donnelly as Combeferre
CR AUGame You’re Transferring CR from: Tu ShanshuNot as such, though he has certainly amassed a bunch of knowledge on the flora and fauna of Keeliai and also modern medicine.
How has your character changed from their canon self? Well -- he’s certainly more used to the ‘modern’ world. Or at least as modern as Keeliai passes for. He has learned quite a bit about modern medicine, and become somewhat more comfortable with modern customs: for
example, in game he and Enjolras have been dating for just about a year. Tu Vishan is a place where magic and mechanics sort of coincide, so he has also become somewhat more accustomed to the stranger sorts of things. One of his closer friends in-game was a dragon, after all, and he and his friends ventured into another realm and had a party with a bunch of ghosts. He has somewhat loosened up from what one could reasonably accept a young man from the 1830s to act like, but he’s pretty easy-going as a whole, so it’s somewhat difficult to tell.
Upon arriving in Teleios he will be -- somewhat discombobulated, but grateful for Enjolras (hopeful) presence. He will not react very well at all to being judged for his crimes again -- he has faced death (or evil, or whatever, the embodiment of Bad Things) already in Keeliai and has, in his mind, paid for any crimes that he may have committed in life. (He will also vehemently disagree with some of these being called crimes, but ...well. Revolutionary’s gotta revolt. Or something.) He will probably return to a somewhat more -- fierce version of himself, something more like he was in Paris.
Are they gaining any abilities from their time in game? Did the game setting take something from them?

Name: Etienne Combeferre, aka Combeferre in canon

As for his reaction to Keeliai -- well, he does not precisely believe in God, nor does he deny it. He does not really subscribe to the belief of a heaven, though -- much like Enjolras, he believes they will create their own heaven on earth as a Republican utopia. So he will be understandably a bit confused. This life-after-death thing is somewhat illogical and really, he’s seen no proof of it before, but he’ll come to accept it eventually, though he will still refer to himself as ‘dead’. Because he is, and he remembers it quite clearly. Once he sees how many new fun things there are to be found on Keeliai, though, he’ll cheer up. (And, more than likely, try and learn all he can about philosophy and political things and all that fun stuff.)
A note -- since he’s coming from after his death, he will ...be somewhat messed up. He’s seen all of his close friends, aside from Enjolras -- killed, faced his own death, and tried to save quite a few peoples’ lives. He will be showing some signs of PTSD, mostly a tendency to be jumpy around loud sounds and nightmares. He will also try to help Enjolras through this, since that’s what bros do.
Appearance: Combeferre, played by Killian Donnelly in the 2012 film.
Abilities: As stated, he reads pretty much anything he can get his hands on. So he is knowledgeable on a good amount of subjects, though certainly not an expert by any means. He is a graduate of the polytechnic school, studying primarily medicine, and is a doctor in training. He is also a decent shot with a musket and a pistol.
Suitability: Well, he's certainly used to being in military-ish groups. He does understand the importance of fighting against Malicant -- more than most, really, since he's had a face-to-face encounter with the fella in-game. He would be an asset to the game in the respect of -- well, his doctoring skills, for one, and he is canonically probably one of the better strategizers among the Amis. His main impulse would be to protect people, rather than go out and fight, but sometimes that's just as important as the guys who are on the front lines. If it's necessary, he will happily pick up a rifle and go on a mission, but he's just as content to stay behind the lines and make sure everything is running smoothly.
Inventory: His clothes -- which, like Enjolras’, are bullet-ridden and bloody. These consist of a floor-length blue coat with a cockade pinned to the lapel, a light blue waistcoat, white shirt and beige trousers. He also has a red, white, and blue sash tied about his waist.
Suite: Wood sector, preferably with/near Enjolras. One or two floors, he's not picky though if he finds books he may need a room just to hold them. As for the wood sector, it would be somewhat more like what he is used to at home. He would certainly not be happy in the Fire sector, for instance, too many people reminding him of the bourgeoisie at home. The poorer sectors will just make him feel guilty and want to help them, which will probably happen anyway. But in any case he'd like to be somewhere relatively near Enjolras, because his friend needs keeping an eye on even if he doesn't think he does.

Third Person:
Stranded. From being reasonably close to death -- he was certain of that, at least -- to being apparently stranded on a beach. At least the people were helpful with explanations, though it was somewhat dumbfounding to be told he was in an 'in-between' place, somewhere he had never had opportunity to learn about. Perhaps this was purgatory? It did not look like what he had always vaguely assumed purgatory would be, in fact it was quite the opposite. Not that, then, nor was it an afterlife that he was still unsure even existed.
Combeferre sighed and settled back in the cart, frowning as he mentally went over his various ailments. Each jostle of the cart brought a jolt of pain, conveniently reminding him of the bayonets that had been his intimate companions just before being whisked off to Tu Vishan, or whatever this place happened to be called. Those would need to be seen to -- he had done the best he could when he washed ashore, hastily applying pressure and attempting at the very least a slight bandage, but even so, bayonet wounds were not to be taken lightly. The bullet wounds were negligible, as long as he yet lived. Which he would, or so he hoped.
It would certainly be a pity, after all, to die without having experienced even the slightest of things about this curious place. What is he to make of a world that is no afterlife though he should be dead, an entirely new civilization to learn about? It is a fascinating prospect, and he relishes the thought of it. Perhaps, too, he will find some of his compatriots here. Surely if whatever powers that be saw fit to pluck him from the barricades, they would have enough foresight to bring some of his friends along.
Network:
[Combeferre does not look quite as tired as he has, lately. He's somehow managed to locate his spectacles, somewhere, and is giving the camera a slightly anxious look.] I think he will know it, soon enough, should he come home -- but if anyone should see Enjolras, or if anyone is familiar with him? Please, tell him that Combeferre is alright and I have not gone anywhere. I would -- not have him concern himself unduly.
[That taken care of, he returns to business and adjusts those spectacles absently.] Joly, have I missed anything terribly important? I know that you might run the clinic by yourself, of course, but I should hate to have left you with anything terribly trying. All is well, I take it?
