Okay, I'm finally going to get ahead with my Ancient Belka History. However, a part of the story deeply involves my OC characters, so I'll post my OC counter-version of the Wolkenritter that were formed as their counterparts one by one, 3 of them from Isdera to "human/familiar hybrid" to "blind support mage" only on to Saga's which will be the real Part 3 that reveals how I mess with the existence of the Tome of Night Sky. :P
So, this here Isdera is the counterpart to Signum.
Spoiler for first member of Zerstoritter:

The basis for his appearance is Kira Yamato. So, just imagine an older Kira, with sharper eyes, a more rugged look, and Takehito Koyasu’s voice.
Profile:
My sword is the only proof of my pride and the embodiment of my faith.”
Born in the turmoiled eras of the Belkan Civil War, Isdera was enlisted as a knight of the Vauxhall faction. Even though he wasn’t exceptionally talented as a mage, his talent being simply those of an A-rank mage, he was considerably gifted as a swordsman and with his talent for flying along with his extreme efforts to improve himself, there was little doubt that he, then 20 would rise up the ranks quickly. Alongside his loyalty, and dedication to his nation, he was respected among his similar peers as he was a symbol that supreme talent wasn’t necessary. However, those above him in the ranks of the Velkan Swords feared his quick rising, and framed him for treason. Despite that, Vauxhall knows his talent, and decided to exploit it by experimenting on him to make him into a mindless weapon. However, the experiment failed, and he was found innocent soon after. It was too late though. His Linker Core was damaged beyond repair, making him permanently not being able to fly. He also lost capability to channel raw magic, and thus can only use magic of a single element…wind, thus making him lose every single non-wind based offensive and defensive magic, even to extents of not being able to use simple barriers or even BJ. Losing respect of his peers, the only thing he has left, is his swordsmanship and the one single fruit of the experiment that he is hiding…He was delegated to the shield squad soon after, aka the cannon fodder suicide squad. He lost any form of loyalty and patriotism to his home nation, as merely fights searching for his death, because everyone had forsaken him, he shall forsake everyone else. However… when Saga, a young talented new mage recruited him to join his formed special unit, Zerstoritter, his life changed.
Personality:
“Saga…you were there for me, for us, for all of Zerstoritter, when everyone else had forsaken us. All of us, without of doubt would die without any hesitation if you ordered it…because it’s you.”
Cold, cool and aloof. He used to be extremely patriotic and optimistic, but the experiments has tortured and changed his mindset. He has an extreme distaste towards the wars fought. However, he has a lot of pride in his swordsmanship, the one thing he believes he’ll never lose to anyone, even the enemy knight, Signum who was considered the best swordsmaster out there and considers it an honor to fight sword to sword in a grand battle. Aside from his fellow Knights and Saga, he is usually cold to everyone else, though there are times that show that he’s actually doing things that benefit them. At core, he’s a very proud, simple, direct and blunt person, coming off as being a jackass at times, but he’s really just a realist who doesn’t care of other people’s opinion of him.
Did I mention that he is loyal as hell to Saga? Well, all of the Knights consider him their father in a way, despite being older than him.
Barrier Jacket: Not capable of conjuring one.
Fighting Style:
“This is all I have now. My blade, and my pride.”
100% pure swordsman. He used to be a highly versatile flight combat mage with skilled swordsmanship and well-balanced overall defensive and offensive techniques, but the experiment crippled 90% of his techniques and his flight ability. As far as it goes, he’s an extremely skilled swordsman, capable of breaking even with Signum even when she’s flying, but he is extremely weak defense-wise and has literally no means of defending himself against long-range artillery mages, even lousy B-rank ones as his wind magic only gives him short gliding boost and no defensive abilities whatsoever.
He however, has one single benefit from the experiment that he hides and rarely uses, even from Saga and the rest of the Knights. The experiment has caused his linker core reaction to be able to conjure up an invisible, variable magic sword that has the ability to block anything so long as his body can withstand the recoil and also be able to go through anything. However, he loathes it because it can only be activated out of loathe, hate, murderous intent and rage, which goes against his belief of an honorable swordsman.
Device:
"A sword is just an expression of one’s own self. Once you understand that, you don’t need one. Well…that applies only to me though.”
Zulfiqar is just a regular Armed Sword Device, used by generic Velka Sword Knights without any unique forms or gimmicks attached. Isdera is a firm believer that it is not the sword that makes the swordsman. However, Saga has taken liberty to reinforce Zulfiqar’s frame among other things to improve its overall endurance, since the sword was taking it’s toll following Isdera having to put 100% reliance on swordsmanship.
Techniques:
“This is the only real technique I have left, and the symbol of my dishonor.”
Technically…he has none. His wind affinity magic only allows him to create a certain degree of strong wind to distract the enemy, allow him to glide a little bit in air, but not able of flying or even floating, and his wind barrier is pathetic as hell as only a C-rank level attack cannot penetrate it while everything above it can. All he has is his swordsmanship, and absolute trust on the rest of the Zerstoritters that they will cover his back at all times, as the true effectiveness of Zerstoritter despite being composed of 2 B+ rank mages, and one A+ rank, but still matching Wolkies is how they all cover each other’s weaknesses and amplifies each one’s strengths as a concentrated unit.
“Myst” : ~ An invisible magical sword, that can be shaped and formed to any size, shape and length not exceeding 2 meters, and is almost 99% invisible to the naked eyes. However, it’s a sword that reacts only to murderous rage and hatred from the user, and thus the user must almost always forfeit any form of true swordsmanship and just go on a blind rage to attack with an invisible, shape shifting sword. He however, can also utilize it to a weaker extent when he’s emotionally affected outside of hate, from being extremely happy or extremely sad…something that is rare as hell.
It's confusing if you don't remember my Part 2. Some may not like the idea of a bunch of A+ to B+ rank mages being on par with the Wolkies, but the concept behind the Zerstoritter is simple.
"We're all StrikerS to one another. We entrust everything to each other, without doubt, without fear. His arrow will definitely be there to protect me just as his chains will be there to guide me just as my sword will be there to prove to them...none of us, are alone."
They're...a perfect harmony if you will even for a bunch of fucked up guys. Kanzen-Chouwa. And no, Saga is not Kick Hopper.
Basically, unlike Signum or Vita, no one in the Zerstoritter, except Saga are capable of soloing an all-rounder mage. Isdera can kick an AAA-rank close combat mage one on one, but go against Teana...he would be dead.
Member II coming soon. This time, Vita's counterpart, GARcher. :P
