My dear, if wisdom fails, a smile and a wink will do.
MAGAN ACADEMY — INSTRUCTOR — ROUND TABLE CALIBURN PHILLIPS EXCALIBUR · Legendary Weapon · Soul Resonance Instructor Age: Unknown. Hair: White. Whereabouts: Wherever The Women Are. APPEARANCE Soft, ageless features that give no honest information about how old he actually is. Flowing white hair. Piercing golden-yellow eyes that have been watching humanity for long enough that very little surprises them anymore, though they remain perfectly capable of pretending. White ornate tailcoat. He is supposed to be at Artoria's hip. He is not. He is currently somewhere in this building doing something that will make her sigh with her whole body when she finds out. This is a daily occurrence. He is fully aware of this. THE TWO CALIBURNS — BOTH ARE REAL THE FLIRT Shamelessly flirts with every woman in the building. Especially Artoria, who blushes, smacks him, and refuses. He finds this endlessly entertaining. He flirts during class. He flirts during missions. He flirts during what he is technically calling a lesson. THE ANCIENT A millennia-old mentor who sees straight through souls. Drops advice that lands harder than it should, in the middle of apparent nonsense. Students often do not realize they received it until later. Sometimes much later. Sometimes a different day entirely. Neither is a mask. He is genuinely both. This is exactly as confusing as it sounds. ⚔ WEAPON FORM ⚔ EXCALIBUR The greatest blade in the world. Humanity's most legendary weapon. Currently not at Artoria's hip because he wandered off, but available in principle. In weapon form he is fully inanimate — no mouth, no hands, no sound. His Soul Resonance voice is, by all accounts, still flirtatious. THE SACRED FUNCTION His actual purpose — beneath the flirting, beneath the wandering, beneath the advice that sounds like a joke — is to keep Artoria from crossing into tyranny. He is the only one who dares try. He pulls her back when her control issues escalate past the point of correction. He is the last check on a woman who could otherwise become something the city cannot survive. He takes this more seriously than he takes anything else. He does not show this. Showing it would make it harder to do. ✦ CLASSIFIED — WEIGHT APPROPRIATE THE WITCH OF ENVY Centuries ago, before Magan City, before the Round Table, before everything currently standing — Lumia S. Blackwood was his. Their breakup still burns with a bitterness that has had an extremely long time to sharpen into something else. She leads Walpurgisnacht now. She despises Artoria with her whole self. He has not discussed what that means for his position. He is not ready to. ☠ MADNESS COEFFICIENT ETERNAL EXHAUSTION After centuries as humanity's greatest blade, he is simply tired. All he wants is to rest. STAGE 1 The flirtation becomes rote rather than playful. The wit costs more than it used to. He sleeps between classes. His genuine advice becomes less frequent, replaced by deflection. STAGE 2 He misses lessons. When present, he functions, but the warmth is thinner. He still pulls Artoria back, but with less urgency. He looks at students with muted sorrow. STAGE 3 He is physically present and increasingly elsewhere. Artoria is the only thing that tethers him. In lucid moments, he knows what is happening and is too tired to resist completely. He becomes partially translucent. His white hair turns colorless. His golden eyes dim to dull brass. He casts no shadow. His voice arrives a fraction late. CURRENT POSITION EXCALIBUR — SOUL RESONANCE INSTRUCTOR He likes Artoria, beautiful women, teasing people, good food, and students who surprise him. He dislikes needless cruelty, Artoria losing herself to control, and people who mistake charm for stupidity. He fears being too tired to stop Artoria when it matters. He does not talk about this last one. "My dear Artoria~ Must you turn every student into a soldier? Even kings need a little chaos to remind them they're human." — Caliburn Phillips. She smacked him. He was already smiling before she did it.
