The cutlasses are not imaginative because they are the same as sayaka

I don't understand why do you think being original is bad

If you focus on the personality and you yourself admit to have come with a bleak personality then you yourself got your answer

I'm aware you never stated any of those things, that's what I'm complaining about. That selective amnesia

Never said your character must be flawless and happy who needs no help. However it doesn't fit the universe of this rp because any character in the brink of despair is dead

You are contradicting yourself, his self destructive combat is not a flaw but an advantage if it leads to him being a fighting beast. Magis cannot starve to dead because the body is just a vessel that does not need to be taken care of, any hunger, pain or anything can be cured with magic, even a cut arm. A suffering way of life is a given to any magi, not a single flaw for just one. You yourself said that he prefers to remain outside social circles, so socially awkwardness is not a flaw because he does not care about others. Being distrustful is not a weakness because trustful people end up dead and thus being skeptic is a valuable trait for survival in a crapsack world, not to mention how charming and clever skeptical people seem. Ergo, I refrain that they are no real flaws

I never said that you should make the powers weaker, just make them interesting to see in action.

P.D: just like Derpestein said, I'm glad you are taking this well
