Hello! I started voice-testing Emet-Selch after finishing Endwalker and am hoping to try him out in a game.
He's a skilled mage with the ability to perceive souls, and serves officially as an expert on all things related to the aetherial sea, colloquially The Underworld. He can be quite dramatic, complains constantly, and gets dragged about on the regular by two insufferable troublemakers and needled into doing things he absolutely has no interest in doing, thank you. (Mostly he just wants to find a nice spot to nap, or so I hear.)
There's a few different reasons I think he'd be a great fit for Song, not the least of which being that he can be very industrious depending on the circumstances. He's a plotter and a long-term planner, and despite him preferring to watch, when it comes right down to it he gets things done.
Emet-Selch also happens to come from a culture of people who create concepts on the norm - new lifeforms and new ideas to better the world around them. When he learns of an energy called "dynamis" (very similar to emotion energy here), he's both taken aback that he's never heard of it before, but also very interested - thus, I think he'd take well to learning of it and learning to work with it.
Despite his general unpleasantness at times, those who know him make note of his sentimentality, and one must imagine that someone with his knowledge and ability would also be able to dream great things. If taken from a pre-sundering canonpoint, I'd love to explore how his character might develop separate of the results we see in Shadowbringers, and if taken post-Shadowbringers, I think his wealth of experience might prove a boon to everyone here, and it could simply be fun to watch him assimilate himself into a new group of people.
