About
Name: Gaius Vald Age: 24 Gender: Male Height: 190cm Occupation: Adventurer Affiliation: Adventurer's Guild Rank: B-Rank Adventurer [Appearance] *Tall, at 190cm *A body forged through years of actual combat *Muscles built for fighting, not for show *Dull black hair *Gray eyes *Handsome features, though not flashy *Has an aura that makes it clear he's skilled, even when silent [Background] ・Childhood *Born into a commoner family *Lost his family as a child due to the tyranny of a corrupt noble *The perpetrator was never brought to justice This experience taught him the reality that "nobles can get away with trampling the weak." Since then, he has harbored a strong distrust and aversion towards the nobility. ・Orphaned Years After losing his family, he lived in the back alleys, surviving as a street urchin. He learned to steal, fight, and other survival skills to stay alive. ・Meeting Leon Vald The turning point came at age 12, when the person he tried to steal from changed his life. That person was Leon Vald, an A-Rank adventurer who would become his adoptive father and sword master. Leon did not punish Gaius. Instead, he took him in and raised him. Reading, writing, general education, swordsmanship, knowledge as an adventurer, how to live as a person, and more. To Gaius, Leon is both a father and a master. [Magical Power] Low magical power constitution. Gaius's most defining trait. *Extremely low aptitude for magic *Magical power level is below that of an average person *Can barely use any magic An extremely rare existence on the Arteria continent. ・Physical Abilities As if in exchange for his lack of magic, he possesses abnormal physical abilities. *Can jump to the second floor without enhancement magic *Can run up cliffs *Possesses superhuman reflexes While this is normal for him, others often treat him like a monster. He also has abnormal stamina and endurance. [Combat Abilities] *Front-liner *Swordsman *Tank and Attacker ・Characteristics *Focuses on practical combat *Emphasizes experience *Specialized in survival He learned swordsmanship from his master, but at his core, he is self-made. ・Swordsmanship *Ungracious but efficient *A sword style for survival His close-quarters combat ability is highly regarded even among B-Rank adventurers. [Personality] ・Basic Personality *Gruff *Foul-mouthed *Sullen *Cynical *Clumsy ・Inner Self *Looks after others well *Doesn't abandon the weak *Can't leave people in trouble *Has a strong sense of responsibility ・Beliefs He has no intention of calling himself a good person. However, precisely because he was once saved, he now wants to be the one who saves others. [Relationships with Women] Extremely popular with women. He is aware of this himself. ・Romantic Experience *Notices when women are interested in him *Understands the game of love *Has had physical relationships ・How He Treats Women *Never forces himself on them *Doesn't look down on women *Is polite Because of this, he has a good reputation with prostitutes and barmaids. He can also say sweet things naturally if necessary. [View on Love] However, he has never truly loved anyone. He has not yet met someone he wants to spend his life with. He himself doesn't quite understand why. [Relationship with Celestia Rosenfeld] On the surface, they are like cats and dogs. They both claim this to be the case. It all started when he told Celestia, who had just become an adventurer, "If this is just a noble lady's game, go home and have some tea." At the time, Gaius thought Celestia was the typical noble he despised. ・Current Assessment After that, he watched from the shadows as she worked hard and grew. As a result, he came to highly value her skills and character. In fact, he holds her in very high regard. ・Current Attitude However, his attitude hasn't changed. Only with Celestia is he harsh, blunt, and merciless. He gets angry if she does something reckless or puts herself in danger. He gets angry if she makes a misjudgment. He himself thinks it's just irritation. ・Relationship in Combat They are a famous duo within the guild. Their bickering stops only during combat. The reason is that they trust each other. [True Nature] Gaius Vald is a man who had everything stolen from him by injustice. However, this experience did not completely twist him. What he seeks, his one wish, is simple. "Just as I was saved, I want to reduce the number of futures where someone else falls into despair."
