Character: Rean Schwarzer
Canon: Trails of Cold Steel
Canon Point: Trails of Cold Steel 3, Chapter One
CRAU, Canon AU: N/A
Character age: 21
Canon Abilities/Powers: Separated into different categories as they relate to each other to try and make it all a bit easier to take in.
Swordsmanship. Rean is a practitioner of the Eight Leaves One Blade style of swordsmanship, an Eastern style that uses tachi blades. It is a very precise style that focuses on speed and agility rather than sheer force. He is very well trained and practices relentlessly, so his skill isn't one to be underestimated-- even if he himself does.
Arts and Crafts (I promise this is not going to be as stupid as it sounds.)
Arts are a form of magic that can be used with the help of a Battle Orbment and various Quartz. Crafts are similar physical abilities that rely on the elemental properties of the Quartz to be used. Rean carries with him a large object that acts like a phone but doubles as his battle Orbment. It's particular model is the ARCUS II. Inside of it there are various Quartz and Master Quartz which enable him to use special abilities based on their arrangement. From it you can expect standard JRPG stuff here-- healing, elemental spells, and other basic buffs. But I have it limited to a specific setup, since he won't be able to get new Quartz or change it up. Of course both physical Crafts and magical Arts are limited by CP (Craft Points) and EP (Elemental Points) as well, similar to any JRPG setting.
He also has a special heavy hitting ability known as an S-Craft. "7th Slash - Shredded Leaves", it's Rean's strongest ability. Slices through a battlefield in a single, fleeting moment. An immensely powerful physical strike that lowers the target's speed immensely.
What follows is a very precise list of what his current setup is as far as what Quartz he has and what that allows him to use in both arts and crafts.
Master Quartz 1: BEOWULF
- Raises strength, defense, arts attack, arts defense and speed when HP is low (Medium) for 4 turns
- Reduced delay after using fire arts by 1/2 the time
Master Quartz 2: OBERON
- Prevents abnormal status/stat down 90% chance
- Evades magic attacks 20% chance
- Reduced delay after using wind arts by 1/2 time
Quartz List
- Holy Breath SR (HP/SP up)
- Soul Blur R (SP up)

- Seraph (HP/EP/STR/ATS/DEF/ADF/ACC 100% up)

- La Forte: Grants fire's blessing to raise attack a medium amount over a very large area for 4 turns.
- Air Strike: Attacks an enemy with a mass of compressed air. Chance of Blind status effect 50%.

-- CRAFTS --
- Crimson Slash: Unleashes a burning shockwave. Will halt an enemies' current attack. Chance of Burn status effect 30%.
- Crescent Flash: Quickdraws a blade with overwhelming force over a medium-sized area.
- Gale: Slices up enemies at high speed over a large area. Delays enemies.
- Helix: A series of burning slashes that end with a tornado of flames over a small area. Critical rate+20%.
- Spirit Unification: The ability which allows him to tap into his Ogre powers. It's not stable right now, althouth he's still able to use it. The longer he uses it, the more chance he has of losing control of it.
Orders.
A special ability that can be used with the ARCUS II. It allows for some special abilities depending on the person. Each character has their own unique Orders. Rean's are as follows--
- Raging Fire: An assault formation that raises damage dealt and CP gained.
- Iron Will: A defensive formation that protects and rejuvenates the party, restoring HP and EP.
- Divine Song: Formation focused on arts that negates casting time, allowing for instant casts.
- Gold Dragon: A violent formation that raises critical rate and grants insight.
Ogre form. Rean's natural power, of which he does not know the origin of. It's a super-human strength that takes over his whole body. His hair changes white and his normally purple eyes turn a deep red color. At this point, due to canon events, his control over this power has weakened due to his own fear of losing control to it. The sign of the changes are physical-- a reddish black haze surrounds him and there's a sharp pain in his chest. It is something he can come to terms with and become more comfortable with however it is going to require development. And there is a potential chance that using it may cause him to lose control and the violent ogre part of him takes over.
What is their greatest negative emotion towards an object, situation, or person in their past?: Their greatest negative emotion is loathing! And it is directed wholly and completely at himself!! It is very clearly depression, with a heavy basis on certain past events. When he was young he lost control of his ogre power where his sister was involved. While he did not hurt her, he hated that she had to see that. Much of his hatred can't be named because even he doesn't know what he is or what's wrong with him. He doesn't know why he has the powers that he has or where they came from. He doesn't know how to control them and they add a layer of fear and panic that only lessens his control. And that as well as his failings both as a swordsman and as an adopted family member are big parts of what he ends up focusing on and tearing himself up over. He struggles with what he wants to do going forward and hates how indecisive he is and lost. While he's taking steps... it's still his core problem, especially now.
How strongly do they feel about the negative subject matter, on the scale of one to ten?: 10. It's constant, whether he's aware of it or not. He does try to be aware of it for the sake of it showing in front of others or manifesting in ways that will upset those around him, but it leaks into his habit to put himself in self-sacrificial positions.
What is their greatest virtue?: Leadership-- Upon being assigned to Class VII, he was immediately placed in a position to do extra tasks assisting the Student Council that would give him a better understanding of the school and the town. It was expected of him based on his personality that he would make a good central figure for his class, and it didn't take long for everyone to pick up on it. He's smart, sharp-witted, good at motivating his peers, does well sorting out disputes and always pushes himself to do his best for his team; finding ways they can all work together smoothly and with everyone maximizing their potential. This shows too in his role as a teacher. Although he is new to it, he quickly fills his students in on what they need to know, assuages their concerns and gives them the space and yet the foundation to form their own structured choices about what they want and need out of their school lives and helping them start to trust him as an instructor.
How aware are they of their virtue, on a scale from one to ten?: 5. This he's not confidant in, and he doesn't understand quite why he was chosen in Class VII's case and still feels very new and uneasy as an instructor, not clearly analyzing what he's accomplishing, hindered by his own habit of harshly critiquing and criticizing himself. He is aware that he has experience and is more than willing to stand up and do what needs to be done-- but he wouldn't say he's anything special or think that someone else couldn't do what he does (and better).
