[I]Hindi Kailangan (Unneeded)[/i] - A [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalis]Kalis Sword[/url] (same as the blade in the Wikipedia article).

[b]Noble Arm Rank:[/b] (We redid how ranks work; now instead of just a single rank, each NA has six attributes that have their own ranks, which can either be very weak, aka E or D, or stronger than that, B or A. This means that an NA can be weak in some aspects while strong in others. Extended descriptions of what these mean can be found on the Discord Server, in the first thread from "Character and Power Building." If a particular attribute is hard to nail down to a certain letter, whether due to sensitivity to circumstances or a wide spread of grades from each specific ability, you may tag your letter grade with an (S) to indicate this, for example, "C (S)".)

[b]Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range:[/b] Melee, No Element.

[b]Noble Arm Abilities:[/b] 

[i]Unecessary[/i] - As a Noble Arm that grew from the realization that one did not need one to be special, Hindi Kailangan is unable to give more than basic Arms Master Survivability and its own sharp edge and almost indestructible structure to help Lorenzo. On the plus side, he can use it as an ordinary weapon unlimited times.

[b]Misc Abilities:[/b] Lorenzo is a talented soldier and commander, skilled at unarmed combat, and melee combat with blunt sticks and his sword, and is a good shooter and sniper, He also knows enough strategy, tactics, and logistics to lead a small army.

[b]Personality:[/b] The central aspect of Lorenzo is that he realizes he does not need a Noble Arm to be special; oh, sure, the fact that he has one is an edge, but he can be special without it, and so he uses it as little as possible to prevent himself from getting dependent on it. Before this, however, Lorenzo used to be jealous of Arms Masters to the point where he sympathized with the Disablers, a moment that he considers cringe in hindsight. Nevertheless, Lorenzo secretly fears the moment when he might forget his lesson and grow to depend on even the meager abilities his Noble Arm grants him, or even the social advantages having one gives him in circles.

But another part of him hopes to find a way to grow again, so that his Noble Arm could gain new powers that though not necessary to be special, are necessary for final victory against the foes facing the Philippines - He only has one country, after all...

        [b]*Likes:[/b] Trips to the Gym, Swimming, Melee Weapons, Guns.

        [b]*Dislikes:[/b] Depending on his Noble Arm, people who are too dependent on their Noble Arms, the concept of depending on something to be special.

        [b]Fears:[/b] Forgetting the lesson that a Noble Arm is not required to be special. Stagnating because of said fear and potentially losing an opportunity to turn the tide because of that.

[b]Bio:[/b] He was born to an ordinary middle-class family, studied in an ordinary school, barely got into college, and all the while, yearned to be special. He wanted to be an Arms Master so badly yet he did not want to make any moves that might cripple him for life. This indecision made him depressed, straining his friendships to the point of breaking, and for a brief moment, he decided to hate all Arms Masters.

Then he saved a drowning child from a flood two years before the start of the ASEAN War, and as the two of them swam to shore in the dirty, muddy water, helped up by professional rescue teams, Lorenzo realized that he didn't need to have a Noble Arm to be special - Courage and the determination to save lives was enough. [I]This realization got him a Noble Arm [b]anyway[/b][/i].

Now he faced the opposite problem; the Noble Arm he had manifested had some potential, but how can he unlock it without forgetting the lessons and growth that had given him that power in the first place? He had no interest in unlocking that anyway, lest he lose the courage he had gained by depending on the great power it held. So he fettered himself, all the while knowing that he was denying himself a strength that others would envy.

He joined the army and rose the ranks, retaining humility and approachability that endeared him to the rank-and-file and other Arms Masters. Then the ASEAN War struck and things were no longer the same. All of a sudden, he needed that power locked behind his magic sword, but the risk of dependence, of egotism, of losing what grounded him... How can he avoid that risk while unlocking the power of his Noble Arm?

At least he rose to First Lieutenant on his own merits; now he is commanding a force of Arms Masters and ordinary folk, all of them brimming with the potential to be heroes and change things, to the Siege of Baguio and the downfall of the Danggal Family/Clan...

[b]*Current Goal:[/b] See his duties through to the end. Find a way to simultaneously remind himself that he does not need his Noble Arm to be special while unlocking the hidden power of said Noble Arm.

[b]Military or Civilian Rank:[/b] First Lieutenant.
