Solaire is a NPC knight from Dark Souls.
Bio[edit | edit source]
A firm follower of the Lord of Sunlight, Solaire is captivated by the sun itself, and actually has intentionally turned himself into an Undead in order to find his own "sun" in the realm of Lordran.
Aside from being a skilled swordsman and therefore a useful companion to have in battle, many players chiefly like Solaire because he practically radiates jolliness and good cheers - something that provides a more than welcome contrast to the dark and miserable nature of the game's own world.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Season 1[edit | edit source]
Some fans suggest Solaire originally debuted somewhere in the first season of 8chanmania, but there is no surviving evidence of this.
Season 2[edit | edit source]
While he himself did not appear as a fighter, Solaire's first appearance in the second season was during 8chanmania LIV. He served as the trainer for Solgaleo, but the latter's first victory against Abomasnow ended in a defeat at the hands (well, legs) of Hitmonlee one round later.
His heroic determination unbroken, Solaire entered the ring himself two tournaments later in 8chanmania LVI. He bested genocidal ice queen Winter Alto, Hollywood superstar Johnny Cage, and quickly became a fan favorite during his match with alien assassin Durge, where the chivalrous knight not only survived the detonations of several bombs planted beneath the ring by Durge prior to the match, but also withstand a seemingly endless flood of 2.9 pinfalls before forcing the boneless killer to tap out. He even went on to defy the violent office psychotic Dilbert, but his hotly expected finalist fight against Dr. Morbis was cut short when the bad doctor pulled out a scythe and landed a weapon crit on him.
After leaving a lasting impression in the previous mania, Solaire finally did it and won his belt during 8chanmania LVII. He began by defeating Splash Woman, was left undaunted by the Honk of Clown, bested Green Soldier, and mounted a successful attack against Rolf (M&B), before finally sending the rotting remains of Road Runner (TGT) back to rest.
Despite of being a fan favorite, Solaire's quest for the soon quickly feel into darkness when he entered the finals of 8chanmania LXVI and came to face Teagan Almace. Rest assured, the rest ended in jolly friendship as the chivalrous knight gave Teagan his summoning sign and warned her of Dr. Morbis.
Season 3[edit | edit source]
The Undead knight made a fitting appearance in the Undead-themed 8chanmania LXXXI. He defeated and immediately invited the dancing skeleton Buane into his personal retinue, only to part with him again one round later when he himself was defeated by Celty Sturluson.
Solaire would not return until 8chanmania XCIII. To the general dismay of everyone involved, the was instantly booted out by Adventure Call host Falconhoof.
His last praise took place in 8chanmania C, where he not only defeated Utsuho Reiuji, but also held hands with her while declaring her to be his "very own sun". Solaire was last seen chasing after a badly blushing Utsuho as the latter raced out of the ring.
