Religion
They say there are no unbelievers in Fungaur holes, early on they would have been wrong about Americ. Religion seemed too stringent in his eyes and therefore not worth the effort. After surviving his younger sister however, he has acknowledged Azeyma as a reminder of those lost and sends a rose to the sea upon her name day.
Alignment
To say Americ is chaotic would be an understatement. More accurate would be the he would be True chaotic with good tendencies. Though he favors good, he tends to remain neutral these days. Often his personal bias will get in the way when it comes to highborn and beast tribes, but he prefers to just have fun and roll with things if possible.
Personality
Though he has mellowed since his time with the Maelstrom, he remains optimistic with a quick wit, especially during volatile situations. He is often the first to run in, though not without some semblance of a plan, and often from a direction he was told not to go. He will go out of his way to comfort someone in need, and defend someone from being told they're of lesser worth. He is use to the livelier settings of Taverns and Soldier camp sites, and will usually attempt to strike up a card game if given the opportunity or discuss Tavern food.
Quirks
Despite his size and strength, Americ cannot hold his liquor.
Flaws
Aside from being unnecessarily reckless at almost every turn, Americ often diverges orders he disagrees with just out of spite which can often lead to disastrous results. Though his record is generally favorable, he has a few spots from botched missions due to ignoring orders despite it being the best course of action.
Fears
Enclosed spaces, especially cages.
Talents
Though his "skill" at cards is debated, he is regarded as an excellent shot with a throwing axe and other thrown weapons. He also picked up many survival skills and is regarded as an excellent guide around the La Noscea area.
Intelligence
Though not a strategist, it is not often he approaches a situation without at least an idea of what's going on. More often than not relying his ability to improvise and talk his way out of (or into) a situation. He was educated by his father who'd learned a decent amount through Maelstrom and his knowledge of the outdoors is of a professional level, however he is often awkward around socially formal situations.

Music Themes
Note: Vocal Songs are attributed themes in which the lyrics seem to relate or partially relate to the character. They don't mean to resemble the character's voice. The instrumental themes are meant to give an idea of the atmosphere around the character. Songs with character names (example: "Tidus's Theme") are NOT meant to indicate that the character is like the theme owner. I just find the instruments and melody fitting, not the character the song was originally addressed to.
- Assassin's Creed - Beer and Friends - General theme
- Gilgamesh theme (Piano Version)
- Freya's Theme from FFIX
