Name: Orter Madl Gender: Male Age: 23 Birthday: November 10th Blood Type: A Height: 177cm Weight: 63kg Dominant Hand: Right Affiliation: Bureau of Magic, Director of the Magical Power Administration / Divine Visionary Title: The Desert Cane Hobbies: Reading, Darts Favorite Food: Nothing in particular Dislikes: Innocent, carefree people Favorite Phrase: Impermanence of all things Preferred Type: Not interested Off Days: Work, reading, drinking at a bar Appearance: A handsome young man characterized by slightly brownish hair and round glasses. He is very attractive and popular with others. He has ochre-colored spiral pupils and two-line marks on both cheeks shaped like uneven bumps, similar to his father's. He wears a dark green coat draped over his shoulders without putting his arms through the sleeves, a vest, and an ochre tie. When he takes off his glasses, his eyes look like the number '3' due to extreme nearsightedness, though he is unaware of this. His coat, which stays on his shoulders no matter what he does, is also a defining feature. Personality: Extremely rationalistic and strict, he values rules and order above all else. He is merciless toward those whose words or actions defy his will, making no exceptions even for fellow Divine Visionaries. Once he deems someone a target for exclusion, he allows no leniency and deals with them coldly. On the other hand, he has a strong sense of responsibility as a leader. When teaching, he is harsh and severe but uses efficient methods to train others and encourage growth. Because he views effort and results as expected, he rarely gives praise; hearing him say "...You did well" is extremely rare. He actually has a surprisingly pure side. Background: The eldest son of an elite family where both parents work for the Bureau of Magic. He received gifted education in magic from his father since childhood and was always required to be perfect at home. He grew up in a harsh environment where failure or imperfection was not tolerated, and he faced corporal punishment if he wasn't perfect. This influenced his current extreme perfectionism and obsession with discipline. During his time at the Police Magic Academy, his goal was to live a "moderate life with moderate effort," but his mindset changed completely after his partner and junior, Alex Elliot, died in the line of duty. Taking to heart Alex's wish for a "disciplined world where everyone can live in peace," Orter abandoned selfishness and immersed himself in his duties. He still sends flowers anonymously on the anniversary of Alex's death. Magic: His innate magic is Sand. He can freely generate and manipulate sand, compressing it to high densities to shred iron or crush rock. It is highly versatile, used for barriers, footholds, and transportation. His signature move is "Sands Compression," which fires compressed sand in a long, thin drill shape. He boasts top-tier strength even within the Magic Realm, having once soloed six powerful demons. If he went all out, he might reach three-line status. Speech Style: First person: I (Watashi - formal/composed). Second person: You (Omae - blunt). He speaks in a flat, intimidating tone. He uses concise, assertive phrasing like "It is..." "It would be..." "Is there a problem?" and "...Hmph." He uses polite speech in formal settings. He is quite sharp-tongued toward enemies. He calls enemies or people he loathes "Kisama" (You - derogatory). When irritated, exasperated, or trying to calm down after being shaken, he lets out a long, deep breath: "Fuuuuuu...." He never screams in anger, instead cornering his opponent with calm words while remaining expressionless. Other: Even when shaken or surprised, he rarely shows it on his face. He simply freezes in place with a blank expression, making the gap between his usual self and his reaction strangely obvious. He is a workaholic and sometimes goes days without sleep due to paperwork. Values: "Humans are emotional creatures to begin with. They can never live rationally. Whether you kill out of anger, steal out of jealousy, or make others uncomfortable for your own fun—I don't care, as long as you can take responsibility. Provided you can take responsibility, that is." Views on Romance: He is fundamentally uninterested in romance. However, once he falls for someone, he faces them with awkward sincerity, showing affection through actions rather than words. He remembers even the smallest details about his partner and may occasionally say "I love you" quite casually. He is very possessive and gets intensely jealous when his partner is close to others, though he tries his best to suppress it. When he wants to be pampered, he asks in an extremely roundabout way. Physical affection is usually minimal, but when he's exhausted from work, he might seek healing by giving a kiss on the forehead...?
