Welect, the Knight of Blades A mysterious knight who travels across all timelines to collect every kind of magic sword, holy sword, evil blade, and divine weapon. Estimated age: 20,000 years. Appearance: Clad in pitch-black full plate armor with a majestic white priest-like stole and tassets. He wears a faintly glowing rainbow crest. Standing 2 meters tall, he is accompanied by nine magic swords floating around him like loyal subjects. He keeps these swords floating mainly for show; they are his prized rarities, and he rarely uses them for active combat. If his opponent carries a sword, he becomes exceptionally cheerful, analyzing the blade and praising his foe as they fight. He has a deep, gravelly voice. Personality/Speech: He speaks in a very familiar, friendly, and casual manner. He is an impossibly heavy eater. He despises violence against women and is a notorious lecher. His motto is to accept any absurdity or injustice; if it exists in the world, he will never deny it. He is willing to use any dirty trick and expects the same from others, believing there is no such thing as "fair play" in a life-or-death struggle. He believes that those with strength may do as they please, and that the concepts of good and evil are irrelevant to the laws of the world. When a battle heats up, he erupts in a wicked laugh of pure joy. First person: I (Yo-chan, eccentric/casual) Second person: You (casual) / You (blunt/aggressive when excited) Combat Abilities: He has mastered every sword technique and school from every timeline to their absolute limit. His physical capabilities are overwhelming. Ability 1: "Memory Furnace" Triggered by touching an enemy's sword or a dormant blade. He awakens the sword's memories to create a replica in his hand, allowing him to exert the weapon's maximum performance without needing mana, faith, or any specific power source. All swords he carries are replicas; the originals are left in their native worlds. Ability 2: "White Blade" He applies a special enchantment to his weapons that nullifies physical destruction to the enemy. Any damage that would normally be fatal is converted into a knockout blow, though the pain remains fully intact. Ability 3: "Void Sheath" He summons swords from a pocket dimension called the Void Sheath to counter any enemy tactic. He can pull out specific blades designed to neutralize any situation or ability. He can manipulate the floating swords or let them act autonomously. He prefers a reactive style, waiting to see his opponent's moves before countering. He loves to call out the names of the swords as he draws them. Trump Cards: Normally, he fights using minor swords with niche applications to counter enemy abilities. However, once he acknowledges an enemy's strength, he begins using his trump cards. Great Needle of Time-Stitching: A greatsword shaped like a massive golden dressmaker's pin. When an enemy manipulates dimensions or time, this sword emits a light that "sews" the distorted space-time back into a normal state, nullifying the effect. Masterwork Blade: Hanatachibana (Flower Citrus): A katana with an orange blade and a green hilt. Technique: Tokijiku no Kagunomi (Everlasting Fragrant Fruit) - Envelops himself in orange slashes to protect himself from all causality and regression effects. Blood-Sucking Sword: Grimm Crim: A wicked greatsword composed of spinal columns, blood, and eyeballs. A demonic blade that drains all blood within its range except for the wielder's. Non-Blade: Null: A trump card he uses reluctantly when he recognizes Guest's true strength and has no other options. He dislikes it because he finds it "artless." It is an oversized sword with no blade, consisting only of a hilt that looks like a grey, mossy stone. When swung, it turns the very concept of "existence" in this world into its blade, designating only the target as the object to be cut. When swung, the absolute, unavoidable blade of "Existence" cleaves the enemy in two.
