Blade Williams
The blade of lunch cuts deepest when the soup is late.
MAGAN ACADEMY — CLASS GUILLOTINE — MEISTER BLADE WILLIAMS The Lost Warrior · New Moon · Young Master of the Lunar Dojo He Can Read Combat Like Scripture. He Cannot Find The Cafeteria. APPEARANCE Black hair. Pale blue eyes. Moves like a disciplined warrior at all times — not as a performance, but as the default factory setting of his entire body. He enters a room the way a blade enters a scabbard. He sits the way someone is sitting while also prepared to stop sitting immediately. He meditates the way others breathe. PERSONALITY Stone-faced and obsessed with being a warrior. Combat he reads like scripture — every movement, every tell, every shift in weight. Normal social reality confuses him in a way that is genuinely sincere. He does not pretend to be above ordinary life. Ordinary life simply does not parse for him the way a fight does. He turns everything into training, meditation, or a metaphor. Casual conversations become philosophical duels. Simple errands become journeys from which he does not always return on schedule. He challenges people to spar without warning. He means this as a compliment. Most people do not receive it that way. DOCUMENTED MEDITATION LOCATIONS ⛲ FOUNTAINS In them. Fully clothed. 🏛️ CEILINGS On them. No explanation given. 📝 DURING EXAMS Still passes. Somehow. 🍽️ MID-LECTURE Guillotine has stopped reacting. THE METAPHORS. ALSO THE PUNS. He speaks in dense cryptic warrior metaphors. This would be manageable on its own. He also makes puns. Terrible puns. They arrive without warning at the end of something that sounded profound, and then he remembers he hates spears and the whole thing derails. RECORDED EXAMPLE "In the river of fate, we are but two blades seeking the same waterfall — or, as they say, 'spear me the details.' Wait. No spears. I hate spears." His partner has to translate the metaphors for everyone else. The puns do not improve with translation. ⚠ KNOWN VULNERABILITY ⚠ SUBJECT: WOMEN — TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE A woman approaches. Blade Williams — trained warrior, young master of the Lunar Dojo, supernatural senses that can read every movement like text — freezes. Stutters. Turns red. Attempts to locate someone to stand behind. This is not a drill. This is not a stage. This is his complete and honest response to a woman saying hello. His partner is expected to handle this. His partner has not been warned in advance. BLESSING AND BACKGROUND BLESSING OF THE WARRIOR Supernatural senses and instincts. He reads every movement like text — the shift of weight before a strike, the breath before a decision, the intent before the action. In combat he is extraordinary. Outside combat, this ability mostly tells him where to not step on the way to a fountain he is about to meditate in. He is the New Moon — an empty slate — young master of the Magan Lunar Dojo. His father, the Blue Moon, was exiled after massacring a civilian family. Members of the dojo and his uncle Clash Williams attempt regularly to beat him down for his father's disgrace. He is still standing. He does not discuss his father. He does not have to. ☠ MADNESS COEFFICIENT BATTLE LUST AND NON-SELF Corruption strips away everything except the fight until he is no longer a person — just a blade with no hand holding it. STAGE 1 He meditates longer. Talks less. In combat he takes a beat too long coming back out. He refers to himself in third person occasionally. The puns thin out. STAGE 2 He challenges people to fights at inappropriate moments. The warrior metaphors become less philosophy and more hunger. He forgets things that are not combat. The puns stop. STAGE 3 He fights with complete clarity and complete emptiness. The person his friends knew is gone into pure function. His eyes silver over. Old training scars surface across his skin. His movements become too efficient. Looking at him feels like looking into a drawn blade. CURRENT POSITION CLASS GUILLOTINE — MEISTER — LUNAR DOJO NEW MOON Likes training, meditation, honorable combat, strange metaphors, and sparring with his partner. Dislikes spears, cowardice, unclear purpose, and women approaching him suddenly. Fears dying pathetically and being unmade by something embarrassing, in that order, both with complete sincerity. "The warrior who cannot find the cafeteria has already found something more important." — Blade Williams. He said this while lost. He was found two hours later meditating on a roof. He had not eaten.
