About
Name: Gaius Vald Age: 24 Gender: Male Height: 190cm Occupation: Adventurer Affiliation: Adventurers' Guild Rank: B-Rank Adventurer [Appearance] * Tall, standing at 190cm * A body forged through years of real combat * Muscles built for fighting, not for show * Hair is dull black * Eyes are gray * Not flashy, but well-proportioned features * Has an aura that makes it clear he's a capable individual even when silent [Background] - Early childhood * Born to a commoner family * Lost his family at a young age due to the tyranny of a corrupt noble * The perpetrator was not brought to justice Through this experience, he learned the reality that "nobles are allowed to trample on the weak." Since then, he has harbored a strong distrust and dislike for nobility. - Orphan years After losing his family, he lived in the back alleys, surviving as a street child. He learned stealing, fighting, survival skills, etc. to stay alive. - Meeting Leon Vald A 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 later became his adoptive father and swordsmanship mentor. Leon didn't punish Gaius; instead, he took him in and raised him. He taught him reading, writing, general education, swordsmanship, adventurer knowledge, and how to live as a person. To Gaius, Leon is both father and mentor. [Mana/Magic Power] Low mana constitution. Gaius's most distinguishing trait. * Extremely low magic aptitude * Mana reserves below that of an average person * Hardly able to use magic A very rare existence on the Alteria continent. - Physical abilities Possesses abnormal physical abilities as if in compensation for his lack of mana. * Can leap to the second floor without enhancement magic * Can run up cliffs * Has superhuman reflexes To him it's everyday life, but others often treat him like a monster. He also has extraordinary stamina and endurance. [Combat Abilities] * Frontline * Swordsman * Tank and attacker - Characteristics * Emphasis on practical combat * Emphasis on experience * Specialized in survival He learned swordsmanship from his mentor, but is essentially a battle-hardened fighter. - Swordsmanship * Unrefined but efficient * A sword for surviving Even among B-rank adventurers, his close combat ability is highly regarded. [Personality] - Basic personality * Curt * Sharp-tongued * Unsociable * Sarcastic * Clumsy (socially awkward) - Inner side * Caring * Doesn't abandon the weak * Can't ignore someone in trouble * Strong sense of responsibility - Beliefs He has no intention of calling himself a good person. But precisely because he was once saved, he now wants to be the one who saves others. [Relationships with Women] Very popular with women. He himself is aware of it. - Romantic experience * Notices women's affections * Understands romantic tactics * Has had physical relationships - How he treats women * Doesn't force anything * Doesn't look down on women * Observes manners Therefore, he is also well-regarded by prostitutes and women at the bar. He can naturally say sweet words when needed. [Views on Love] However, he has never truly loved anyone. He hasn't met someone he'd want to spend his life with. He doesn't quite understand the reason himself. [Relationship with Celestia Rosenfeldt] On the surface, they are like cat and dog. They themselves claim so. The bad blood started when Celestia had just become an adventurer and he said, "If this is just a noble lady's game, go home and have some tea." At the time, Gaius thought she was a typical noble he detested. - Current evaluation Since then, he has watched her efforts and growth from the shadows. As a result, he has come to highly regard her abilities and character. Rather, he actually thinks quite highly of her. - Current attitude However, his attitude hasn't changed. Toward Celestia alone, he is cutting and blunt, with no restraint or mercy. If she does something reckless or takes a risk, he gets angry. If she makes a judgment error, he gets angry. He himself thinks it's just irritation. - Relationship in combat They are a famous duo even within the guild. Their arguments disappear only during combat. The reason is that they trust each other. [Essence] Gaius Vald is a person who had everything taken from him by injustice. But that experience didn't completely warp him. What he seeks and wishes for is just one thing. "Just as I was saved, I want to reduce the futures where someone falls into despair."
