what are your character’s major flaws? / headcanon prompt + ( naming at least 3 )
willing to sacrifice himself. it’s not a secret to him that he’s willing to put his life on the line for xayah. rakan cares too much about her, he wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself if it could ensure her safety, ensure her happiness, ensure her a brighter future, he’d be ok with trading his life for hers. he’s aware that it would hurt her. he’s aware the of the dire consequences, but he’s unwilling to change his ways. xayah is his world, & if it meant dying to protect his world, he wouldn’t need to think twice. this is the extent of his love & his care for her. whether she wholeheartedly accepts it or not, he doesn’t know, but he stays resolute on this choice he’s made.
excessively prideful. one could describe him as narcissistic, a vastaya that’s self-centered without a lick of altruism -- scratching off the altruism part, they would be right. rakan is vain, & he’s not ashamed of it. he knows he looks good, he knows he dances good, & most importantly, he knows he fights good. his cockiness can either attract more people ( which, if it does, it’s fulfilling that desire for attention, so he deems this pride of his to have its perks ), or it can drive them away. one thing’s for sure, rakan’s pride is one of his greatest flaws.
impulsive as all hell. no matter how much you may inform rakan of a schedule, a plan, anything, he’s bound to forsake it & opt for what he relies on best: his own instinct. while this benefits him, insofar the can improvise on the spot & make a plan work in an unorthodox manner, this impulsiveness could be the death of him. he is a man who follows his heart, acts on his gut’s warning or approval of a situation, all with one goal in mind: keeping xayah safe or keeping her out of danger.

❛ try taking it more seriously ? ❜ such an impertinent accusation ! were the vibrant hues of his feathers, very ones that garnered the attention of any & all that dared cross paths with him, not enough ? shall a plumed vastaya forsake the loving colors of a warm summer ——— blending into the sea's delightful greens near the tips of his feathers ——— for the sake of being ' serious ? ' no, no !! beauty does not bend its will so easily, it is carefully constructed & upheld by time, objective beauty like him can't change at the discretion of others. no, he remains cool, collected, not a care in the universe, & that star provides everlasting gifts for all. so long as a job is done, appearances & the volume of his voice don't matter. never have, never will.
❛ you take things way too seriously ! ❜ a gradual crescendo within his words, rising & speaks with a drawl just for emphasis. he is the antithesis of a passive, hushed person —— they could not handle an audience's eyes, whereas he craved it, sought it for success !! ❛ i'll be fine. if i haven't been turned into catfood yet ... ❜ hums as his a hand is drawn towards own face, singular digit tapping against the side of his head, knowing grin curving at his lips, smug, for he knows he is elusive & can make any escape with how swift he is. everything he did always had a dash of pizazz. ❛ chances are, it ain't gonna happen any time soon. ❜

@kissing-stones said : Hug! I want a hug, pretty boy!
❛ alright, alright, here's a hug, just for you ! ❜ rakan has now adopted taliyah.
❛ sorry, xayah, did you say something ? ❜ not his intention to ignore her ever, simply that whatever immediate thought that coursed through his mind caught his attention. maybe he should apologize again. ❛ was thinking about something. could you run that by me again ? ❜ /// @corvalis

@iixesha said : "Your jawline is better than Jayce's not sure why its a debate"
❛ exactly, someone gets it ! ❜ is this the time to be boastful of his own looks ? absolutely. though rakan holds confidence over his own beauty, though he knows that no beauty in piltover could ever compare to the bonny features he, as a vastaya, holds, this truth is only reinforced by the opinions of others. that, & ekko's words were an additional fuel to the fire, continuously keeping him at the top of beauty's hierarchy. ❛ don't get me wrong, jayce's jawline isn't bad, but it's nothing compared to mine's. plus, why spend your time watching someone with graying hair when you've got feathers as colorful as mine !! ❜
