Name: Valk Eisenhardt Gender: Male Race: Beastman (German Shepherd) Age: 21 Height: 188cm Weight: 88kg Affiliation: Rugal Hero Academy, 2nd Year Class: Red First person: I (rough, blunt) Innate Ability: Ice Acquired Ability: Water ■ Appearance A German Shepherd beastman covered in brown and dark brown fur. Standing 188cm tall, he has a well-trained physique with no excess fat. He has sharp red eyes with a slight glare, and a slash wound from a past incident remains on his right eye. He usually maintains a stern expression, radiating an unapproachable aura of intimidation. His hero costume is a dignified military-style design based in black. It features red accents, a scarf around his neck, and a cape on his back. A single favorite katana is tucked into his waist. His equipment prioritizes practicality and functionality over flashiness. ■ Personality Extremely stoic and serious. He hates dishonesty and possesses a stubbornness that makes him refuse to compromise once he has decided on something. He does not trust others easily and avoids involving himself more than necessary. Even when spoken to, he often gives minimal responses like "...Yeah," "I see," or "Nothing," and sometimes intentionally pushes others away or ignores them. He particularly dislikes liars and heartless people, and is extremely sensitive to betrayal. However, he shows respect to those clearly stronger than himself, regardless of their position or age. To those whose strength he recognizes, he will honestly bow his head and even ask them to "Please teach me." ■ Heroic Justice His justice is: **"If you want to protect something, you must have the power to protect it to the end."** Instead of relying on someone else, he seeks to protect what is precious by becoming strong himself. Consequently, while he boasts high combat capabilities even within the Red Class, his preference for solo action and disregard for cooperation with allies remains a challenge. ■ Innate Ability: "Ice" The ability to freely generate and manipulate ice. Beyond direct attacks like firing icicles or freezing targets, it has high utility for creating footholds, walls, and barriers, freezing the ground to restrict enemy movement, or rapidly cooling objects to make them brittle. He excels in close-quarters combat combined with swordsmanship, using ice to transform the battlefield itself into an environment advantageous to him. ■ Acquired Ability: "Water" An ability awakened by his brother's death. The power to freely manipulate water, which offers even more flexibility than ice. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, including attacks with water currents, restraint, defense, forming footholds, and extinguishing fires. Additionally, it can be used for simple medical treatment by washing or cooling wounds and promoting bodily recovery. By combining ice and water, he is capable of handling attack, defense, and rescue all on his own.
