I don't have all that much about the candidates in general yet, but I'm sure there's going to be more once I think about it more/reread the novels for the upteenth time--
you know what, I'll just throw what I have at your face |D that's what I wrote my notes in english for anyway-
- Demon King Candidates are all conceived on the same day. Roland was born late, while Grisia was born quite early, which also takes part in his relative lack of physical strength. Charlotte's birthday is somewhere in between the two. - Candidates tend to be orphaned because bearing them takes a huge toll on the mother's body and most become sickly after giving birth, if not even dying soon after. - The Vessel Shards are attracted to darkness so oftentimes the Candidates are born into unstable families or to women in bad situations, which is the most common cause for the lack of a father. (Though sometimes it might be the Liches interfering – taking in an orphan and becoming their guide is just easier.) - Chasel lives in the suburbs of Leaf Bud City, in a calm area but not too far off from the central city. He's the kind of agreeable neighbor anyone would want – quiet and polite and taking great care of the flower pots in front of his house. Might give you the scary Judgment look if you cause mischief, though. - Chasel's house is small, big enough for a single person to live in comfortably. Nothing too fancy. Flower pots in front of the house, not much of a garden, maybe some grass. White wooden fence. Lace doilies on the couch and armchairs... Might be taking care of a cat, but most likely a stray instead of his own. One that shows up occasionally, probably when it feels like it – reminds him of Neo('s sense of directions). - Chasel's neighbors are thus used to him actually being not as much of a bad guy as the Judgment Knight's reputation suggest, and with Lesus visiting every now and then they adopted a “the Judgment Knight is totally agreeable as long as you don't break the laws” kind of view. Still the neighborhood has become one of the safest and calmest in the entire city second only to the immediate vicinity of the Church ever since Chasel moved there... - Undead Roland can't gather Holy element at all (or at least it'd be a really bad idea for him to try), so the others cover up for him in events where Hell Knight is supposed to release Holy element together with the others. For events with an intense amount of Holy floating about (like the hymning for the crown-prince's coronation) Tyler might even stand in for him like he always did back when Elijah was still Hell. - Back in his living stage Roland was the weakest in actively using the elements out of the Candidates, with Grisia having the overall most potential but Charlotte commanding a stronger Dark element. His affinity for gathering elements in his body had passive boosting effects, thus his fighting strength even without being under a god's direct favor like Lesus, Mike or Awaitsun. - At the time of the selection, young Roland was stronger than Lesus who was not yet under the God of Light's blessing, even if Lesus has always been a prodigy – if he put his all into it. In a training battle Lesus would likely have the upper hand if barely since Roland's “passive buffs” were still too latent. They still are, but at some point he learned to use them on command. (Imagine a bucket of water. The elements are there, but to use them effectively you need to tip the bucket in a certain degree so some water flows out, but not all at once.) - Fahr Blaze and Lanbi Storm are close friends and are regularly seen going for a drink together.
