Of course, there are times when the sun beats down and it does get stuffy wearing that coat everywhere. When that happens, he just tries to smile and sweat it out. It’s had mixed results so far.[/indent][/color] [color=red][u][sub][b]S U M M A R Y [/b][/sub][/u][/color] [color=808080][indent][color=red][i]— "What’s a….Kirito?"[/i][/color] Gradon’s history is nothing too spectacular. Simply put, he wanted to be a hunter who slayed monsters and protect people. Though he tended to lean more towards traditional knight mannerisms and customs, it did not deter his want to help people and thus began this career as a student of Cadenza Imperial Military Academy. Beforehand, his family told him constantly that one must hone their body at all costs to become a strong warrior of the Empire. Gradon took this literally, eager to train his fighting skills day and night to the point where he could be considered a prodigy in the field of combat. Unfortunately, this has made his social skills suffer tremendously to the point where the simplest of things can stump Gradon if it’s not connected to fighting in some way. Like trying to open a door. Because of his appearance and efficiency in fighting, he’s been given the nickname of “Not-Kirito”. It’s a shame he doesn’t really know what that means nor does he fully understand the reference all too well, but he’s more than happy to learn. As an eager student, he’s always tried to be open-minded of many things and become an overall nice guy. Often however this kindness dips into nativity and just lack of common sense. But such is the life of a student.[/indent][/color] [color=red][u][sub][b]V E S S E L[/b][/sub][/u][/color] [color=808080][indent][color=red][i]— "This is the Legacy of the Empire."[/i][/color] Gradon’s Vessel is named Round Table, taking the shape of a dark purple bracelet located on his right wrist. The bracelet itself is intricately designed to look like a snake consuming its own tail; the universal sign of Ouroboros. When in its active state, Round Table takes the form of a [url= http://i.imgur.com/knH4TRP.jpg]single-edged greatsword[/url].[/indent][/color] [color=red][u][sub][b]A B I L I T I E S [/b][/sub][/u][/color] [indent][color=red][i]— "Thank you for allowing me to attack."[/i][/color] [color=red][b]⛨ Rebuttal:[/b][/color] [color=808080] By successfully parrying or blocking an oncoming attack, Round Table can then inflict the same amount of damage or force right back at the enemy almost instantly. However, this ability can only work when defending against physical close-combat attacks, such as sword strikes. If one were to carelessly slash at a defensive Gradon, a cut of similar proportion would immediately present itself on the enemy. Unfortunately, this unique power reverts Gradon’s fighting style to retain more defensive capabilities than offensive ones, forcing him to rely solely on counterattacks to fully utilize it.

He was warned from an early age about the disasters a proper cold could bring about to the human body and that doctrine has stuck with for all nineteen years of his life. Unless he’s forced to wash the thing, it’s not likely he’ll give the coat up.[/indent][/color][/center] [center][img]http://66.media.tumblr.com/51fc61ac770a524e9468f174afa94d7f/tumblr_inline_n1xc79Kcic1rb3m8r.png[/img][/center] [h2][center][color=red][u][sub][b]✠ T H E M E ✠[/b][/sub][/u][/color][/center][/h2] [center][youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLy-mlqzVZ8[/youtube][/center][/hider] [b][url=https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=kazenoko]RPs[/url] [url= http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=uyu_%28keyakinoki%29]Featured[/url] [url=https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=zoe_%28space_jin%29]In[/url]:[/b] [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/162965-war-notes/ic]War Notes[/url] , [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/136816-the-war-of-the-three/ic]The War of the Three[/url] , [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/169611-the-war-of-the-three-exodus/ic]The War of the Three: Exodus[/url][/center]
