CRAU:

Prompto has nearly a year of growth in Duplicity, and for the most part, aside from the relationships he’s formed with other people, he’s the same. Yet, there are some subtle differences that should be noted here.

First, his memory of canon events differs. Upon entering Duplicity, Prompto’s canon point was chapter 9, just before the disaster at Altissia. He’d been in the city with Ignis for a while, who was close to the same canon point, but when Noctis showed up originally, he told Prompto what he could about the future (though he omitted quite a bit). He learned the truth about his origins but only in so much as Noctis himself knew—details were blurry since Noctis didn’t know exactly what had happened to Prompto. And though he was upset about it, he pushed on and decided to ignore it. Later, when Noctis left the city, he still had too many questions but chose to continue on without overthinking it. When Noctis appeared in the city a second time and several events later, Noctis confessed and told him about the prophecy and how he was destined to die to end the Starscourge and save Eos. It was a lot to accept considering he still didn’t know anything about the future – Noctis felt guilty for shoving him off the train and Prompto didn’t blame him for it, even though he hadn’t lived through it – but he promised Noct that they would find a different way to change the future. After Prompto’s own canon update, he struggled with trying to accept himself as he was and told the people he was closest to at the time – Ignis, Noct, Kara, Ezio – the truth about himself, and with their acceptance, he was able to find a little more closure about that part of himself.

Second, Prompto’s personality, while generally the same, has changed in some subtle ways—mostly in regards to sex. Initially, he’d been hesitant and pretty shy to try to find partners, and he almost ran into the problem of not meeting the city quota in the first month. But after meeting Ivy, he became a little more comfortable with himself sexually. Several months later, when he began to really know Ezio, he also opened up to the possibility of kinkier things, and that brief relationship broadened Prompto’s horizons even more. Now, even though he’s still kind of awkward and charming, he’s forthright about his wants when it comes to sex and doesn’t have an issue trying to instigate as long as he knows the other person is interested.

Personality:

A bright ball of perpetual sunshine and rainbows.

At least, initially looking at Prompto, this is the general assessment most people would come away with about him. He tries his hardest to be upbeat and not let down all those around him simply because he’s always seeking that sort of vindication that he’s wanted and not something that can be thrown away. So, in general, he’s mostly playful and strives to be the one to always cheer up anyone who might be feeling down or sad about something; this plays into the one aspect of his life where he really desires to be useful in some way, though it’s done with a genuineness that demonstrates he is also particularly caring. He just prefers to do that in his own way.

Yet, cracking through the exterior into the deeper parts of him, there is much more to Prompto than his cheerful attitude and sometimes short attention span. For example, in part of how he was raised, he is not comfortable in formal situations and often feels out of place because of it. Part of this stems from the fact he had a quite lonely and sad childhood, where he tried to make the most of a bad situation by projecting something happier. However, that doesn’t dismiss the fact that he exudes symptoms of imposter syndrome because of the truth behind where he was born. In Episode Prompto, there’s in-depth exploration of Prompto actually being a clone of Verstael Besithia, an Imperial researcher, and was essentially “made” to become part of Niflheim’s magitek army. Because it had been a long-kept secret of his, Prompto had always strived to be a person worthy of being Noct’s friend because he’s afraid of being abandoned. Even when he tells the group about what he is, he still fears that they won’t accept him and cast him aside. ( From his current canon point, Prompto has come to accept these things about himself, so it doesn’t directly affect his day-to-day. But under the right circumstances, it could still come back to haunt him. )

Other things to note about Prompto’s personality: he knows a lot of pop culture (often referencing these things a little too much), is really into cameras and photography (which makes him a bit of a technophile), is a little claustrophobic (as well as afraid of heights), and kind of hates bugs. He’s also known to complain about being outdoors, though whether or not that’s a by-product of simulating Noct’s own complaints or because he actually hates it isn’t particularly clear. He tends to be a bit anxious about things sometimes, seen in the way he can get jumpy, and regardless of how much he might actually dislike the outdoors, Prompto is very much a “pet guy”, seen in his excitability whenever he’s around chocobos or dogs or any other type of animal that he can get his hands on to said pet.

Though he doesn’t have the experience and isn’t as combat-hardened as Ignis or Gladio (and even Noct), Prompto always tries to do his best and puts effort into everything that he does to get a goal accomplished to the best of his ability. His perseverance is strong when he gives himself something to aspire to (such as when he spent years trying to project himself in a way he thought was worthy of being Noctis’ friend and then training to go on the trip to help protect Noct), and honestly, he just wants the best for everyone around him.

Weaknesses/Temptations:

Though he’s come to terms with a lot of his insecurities about himself as a person, Prompto still suffers from impostor syndrome, a complex he’s had to deal with his entire life. He doesn’t feel that he’s worth the effort or is just some person living a life meant for someone else, but this isn’t all the time; he tries his best to balance it out with having others see him as someone worth the time. Which could also be considered a flaw, in a way: he tries too hard. It also brings to light the fact that he always tries to pretend things are fine when they’re not—emotionally or otherwise. Close friends might be able to tell when he’s doing this, but it’s not always guaranteed because his fear is being tossed to the side and he doesn’t want to be seen as weak or a burden.

His friends are very important to him, so they are definitely a weakness of his. Especially Noctis, since he’s his best friend and his main purpose for the longest time in trying to better himself. He’s also not terribly fond of enclosed spaces ( caves, royal tombs, etc. ) or bugs.

Temptations, on the other hand, vary from cute things to people he thinks are attractive. He's not very interested in monetary things or even earthly possessions, though he absolutely would do anything for the vine to keep his pictures and continue to photograph his journey from place to place.<
