I can't really comment for now since I'll be heading off to my Accounting Class.

But I'm gonna post the profile of Hayate's eventual romantic interest NAO!

Spoiler for Grandis Lacetti:

Name: Grandis Lacetti
Nickname: Masoukishin (Lord of the Elemental)
Callsign: None
Gender: Male
Age: 26 (2 years after StrikerS. He's 5 years older than Hayate)
Birthday: 13th November in the Earth Calendar
Occupation/s: Used to be a Knight in training in Saint Church. Now a Mercenary mage.
Rankings: N/A Estimated to be S
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 164 lbs.
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Silver
Magic style: Belka
Magic Color: Shifting colors. Normally white with a blue hue
Usual wear: Dirty white jacket and brown pants
Specialization: Close range bombardment/melee
Devices: Gottes Rächer (Divine Avenger)
Seiyuu: Hikaru Midorikawa (think Zelgadis from Slayers)

Profile: A survivor of a Lost Logia incident seventeen years prior to StrikerS. Being orphaned at the age of 7, he was adopted in one of the orphanages in the Belkan self-administered region, Saint Church. Later on, he was discovered to have some magic potential and was given the choice to become a Knight in service of the Saint Church. He accepted and went into training there. He showed tremendous potential with his rare skill. However, he abandoned his path to Knighthood for some unknown reason around six years before StrikerS. He is now currently working as a mercenary in the less-influencial worlds administered by TSAB.

Personality: Grandis is usually serious and silent. Though he usually lightens up when he gets to know those whom he interacts with. He values warrior's honor despite having defected the Saint Church. He doesn't have any close social circle due to his nomadic tendencies. He detests treachery and broken promises, and strives to keep any oath he utters. Aside from honing his skills, he likes to sleep a lot.

Relationships: Still pending. All the data I can give now is that he gets to be together with Hayate later and he also hates an OC enough to kill him. He is to be an antagonist at first. The very reason of fighting for him right now is revenge.

Knight Armor: His Knight Armor consists of a mainly white body-suit with several armored plates with blue spheres at several parts of his body. He has a pair metal attachments on his back for unknown reasons. A cape can be found between these.

Gottes Rächer (Divine Avenger): An armed device taking the form of a sword. It houses up to five cartridges at a time using a revolver loader above the hilt.

Fighting Style: His fighting style is an odd form of melee bombardment. In short, he uses his sword in striking with extremely powerful spells while at close range. He has a number of ranged attacks, but he has a lot more for close-range.

Rare skill: Multiple-elemental affinity.

This is still very bare for a profile. But I wanted to show it for some comments and advice. Contrary to Estavali's story, I'm going to use a late-bloomer-in-love angle with Hayate. She'll be 21 when the sparks starts to fly. There are some clues in the profile to who Grandis might hate. I'll do updates gradually, especially on his rare skill since I'm a little pressed in time this week. I also might set up a mini-arc as well named ResolutionS. The OC's and CC's that will be involved is still up in the air. The confirmed ones are Hayate and her Knights, as well as Aurion. And of course, Grandis. (And yes, he's five years older than Hayate.)


BTW, does anyone have a pic of the Divine Avenger sword from Star Ocean 3?
