Character: Ignis Scientia
Current Canon Point: Chapter 8, as the party boards the boat to Altissia.
Updated Canon Point: Immediately following Chapter 10, after the venture through the mines at Cartanica.
Updated Background: SPOILERS for Chapters 9 & 10, if anyone is still concerned about that.
Since Ignis' previous canon point, he will have accompanied Noctis and the others to Altissia, where they were meant to meet Lady Lunafreya and attempt to get the blessing of Leviathan. Though meeting with Luna directly proves to be impossible, Noctis manages to arrange a summit with the leader of Altissia and earns the opportunity to try and commune with Leviathan the next day following Lunafreya's address to the public. Knowing that the Empire is poised to attack immediately following the address in an attempt to gain Leviathan's power for themselves, as well as the fact Leviathan is likely to cause damage to the city, Ignis, Gladio and Prompto offer their aid in evacuating and otherwise protecting Altissia's citizens, and in doing so are divided.
The details of what happened to each member of the royal retinue while divided are largely shrouded in mystery. We know that Noctis faced Leviathan in combat with the support of an injured Lunafreya, and much of Altissia was damaged in the process. Many people were killed as a result of the Imperials’ assault. The next time we see Ignis, it’s when Noctis awakens after having spent days unconscious. Ignis himself delivers the sad news that Lady Lunafreya has been killed, and he is shown to be severely injured with extensive scarring over his left eye and lesser scarring on other parts of his face, though some of it is hidden behind dark glasses. It’s unknown exactly how Ignis sustained his injuries, and Ignis himself seems more than content to keep it that way. It’s not something he wishes to discuss, saying only that it was a “small sacrifice in the greater battle” and later noting that the last thing he remembers seeing was the departure of Chancellor Izunia’s airship.
The game then skips ahead to a few weeks later, showing Ignis along with the others on a train bound for the Empire by way of Tenebrae. It becomes clear that Ignis is not only wounded, but has also lost his sight and now walks with a cane, though he insists that because the wounds have closed, it’s “only a matter of time” until his vision returns. Tensions are running high within the group in the wake of what happened in Altissia, with Gladio being particularly aggressive towards Noctis while Ignis is uncharacteristically withdrawn and Prompto makes his best efforts to keep the peace. The group takes advantage of the train stopping in Cartanica to seek out the Royal Tomb in the mines there to locate another of the Royal Arms. Given Ignis’ condition, Noctis feels that taking him into the mines is putting him at unnecessary risk, but leaving him at the train station, alone and in enemy territory, doesn’t feel like a viable option. Ignis insists that he’ll manage as they venture into the mines, and remains with the others as they seek out the tomb.
The trip through the mines is trying for all of them. Gladio is insistent on their moving slowly so that Ignis can keep up, and scolds Noctis anytime he starts to get ahead or draws a weapon a little too close to Ignis himself. Prompto is ever at Ignis’ side, quietly helping him up every time he stumbles, but Ignis himself is largely silent throughout this particular stretch, focused on pressing forward despite his new limitations and stubbornly throwing himself into combat despite not being able to see the enemy. He apologizes more than once for being in the way or not performing to the best of his ability, and the others are quick to assure him that he has nothing to apologize for as it steadily becomes more and more clear that Ignis is in denial about the severity of his condition. It’s when they reach the bottom of the mines and stumble into a morbol’s nest on their way into the Royal Tomb that he properly re-enters the fray, able to focus enough to think outside the box and use an elemental grenade to exploit the morbol’s weakness when the others are unable to keep it at bay using more conventional attacks.
The Royal Arm is retrieved from the tomb, followed by another argument between Noctis and Gladio-- during which Ignis finally snaps and voices his frustrations, both with their bickering and his own situation. He insists that he won’t suffer this ceaseless arguing any longer, nor will he be treated like an invalid, admitting that his “vision hasn’t improved, and probably won’t.” Despite his blindness, he expresses a desire to stay with his friends until the end and see their task through. Gladio objects, saying that war is a matter of life or death, while Prompto feels it should be Ignis’ choice whether or not he stays. Ignis says that if he cannot keep up, he will bow out, but until then he wishes to do his utmost to continue to aid Noctis in his quest. Noctis supports his decision, and they all work their way back up to the station together before boarding the train to resume their trip to Tenebrae. Ignis will be returning to Verens shortly after boarding, before the events of Chapter 11.
Updated Personality: Ignis becomes a bit quieter following his injury, but no less loyal, and no less devoted to serving his cause. Though he makes an effort to remain composed even in the wake of all that’s happened, he is frustrated with his current state. He has always been a person who has taken care of the people around him and been independent almost to a fault, never allowing himself to rely on others for their aid, but now he feels as though he has no choice. Regardless, he shows us that he is still as stubborn as he’s always been when he insists that he will continue on with Noctis and the others in spite of his injuries, saying that he will bow out if he can’t keep up-- and only then. When presented with a purpose, he remains driven, but without the goal of helping Noctis find the crystal and bring the dawn immediately at hand, he will find himself struggling when he returns to Verens, grappling with the reality of having to relearn the world around him and how to interact with it, and having to learn to accept aid when he needs it in addition to working hard to maintain his independence.
Updated Abilities: Ignis will be able to use the Libra Elementia ability included in his original app, which allows him to exploit an enemy's weakness by launching an elemental grenade from afar. His usual combat acrobatics will be seriously hindered for some time, requiring extensive training in order to increase his spatial awareness and regain his skills.
Other: Planning for him to be gone from the 30th to October 4th if that’s okay!
