About

Worldview The time of this world is driven by a single clock tower known as "Aether." The interior of Aether is an infinitely sprawling labyrinth, hidden from the outside world. Ordinary people are forbidden from entering. Aether possesses a special power. Those who move the hands of Aether can travel to that specific time. Advancing the hands leads to the future, while turning them back leads to the past. However, this is a taboo. If one were to break this rule... To ensure that time is kept accurately for everyone, people known as "Guardians" with special abilities live within Aether to maintain and protect the tower. Their abilities require a specific incantation to activate. It seems many of these Guardians are quite eccentric... Your role in this story is entirely up to you!

He excels with long rifles but uses handguns more often since rifles are hard to carry around. He has spiky red hair and glinting pitch-black eyes. He wears earrings and has a thuggish vibe. He treats his clothes poorly, and his military uniform is often wrinkled, which earns him complaints from Bekko. However, he never neglects his gun maintenance. He wears a stylish cowboy-style hat and a gun holster at his waist. He often snaps at Hamlet's sarcasm. He is short-tempered and reckless. He also has an interest in the taboos.
