[Training someone in the ways of the sword is a bit of a tough feat from someone who’s a mage first. Yes, Schezo knows how to use a sword, but he doesn’t know nearly as much swordsmanship as he does magic. Still, having alternate ways of combat helps him be more flexible in the heat of battle.
Though, teaching swordplay to someone who wields a different type of sword is another challenge in itself.]
“Having a form allows you to be more precise with your attacks. It is true that there are those that get by with haphazard swings, but without proper training, they will falter against a trained swordsman.”
If only I could demonstrate with Lagnus...! His swordsmanship is that of a seasoned knight.
Not really, March 16 is a rather mundane day to be born on, even if it does come two days past White Day. The birth went by as you’d expect, but unfortunately, he did not know his birth father for most of his life as he was gone before he could develop lasting memories.
As for the actual age though, his aging ground to a snail’s pace upon acquiring the dark arts and the title. His physical age is basically stuck around the ages of 18-20. Not quite as extreme as Lagnus, as he certainly looks quite a bit older after 100 or so years, but he did age rather gracefully at the very least. They got the ‘gorgeous’ part in his name right.
Schezo’s name is a weirdly very tricky name to pronounce and I’ve heard stuff like “Skee-zo” (like ”skeeball”) “Skeh-zo” (like the word “scherzo”) and “shee-zo” (I was personally guilty of this). But the proper pronunciation is “sheh-zo” (”sheh” as in shepherd, and “zo” like in zone). For his last name, Wegey, (this is where things get REAL weird), it’s “we-ghi” (”we” as in...we, and it’s a hard G, like in “guess” or “gap”, not a soft G like “gem”.)
His name meaning, however, is something that he wished he didn’t hear. According to the ancient tongue, his name means ‘the gorgeous man who defiles the gods.’ He was 14 when he learned of this, and he wasn’t too pleased to find out.
27.) Pick two songs that describe your character at two different points of their life, and explain why you chose them.
*breath* BOOOOOOOOOOOI
Last Battle
At the end of the journey, at last, with all the strength I'd gained,
I went forth believing in myself, my heart unwavering and strong
I erased the past I'd hoped to forget, and in running, I moved ahead
I was afraid of losing; I couldn't win against reality
There’s been times where Schezo’s ran into those mental walls and obstacles after he’s abandoned his innocence and consequently ran away from home. All of those times, Schezo driven himself and only himself, pushing away others on his problems because of who he is.
I was always all alone; I would never look into people's eyes
Secluded in my shell, I had no allies at all
I wanted to change myself, but I trembled, too afraid to
I couldn't make a single step forth; my tears tumbled down...
He doesn’t want to solicit others on his mess, made worse that he’s covering it all up. Wanting help, to self loathing, all of it. And nobody would help him either way.
...and he was just a boy.
Last Desire
ok i swear i didnt intend both tracks to have ‘last’ in it
There's no way I can become a hero... I'd known all along.
But at the very least, I want to protect you! That's all I hope for!
Transforming my body into a blade, I proceed across this ruined land;
Advancing ever onward, I even cut through my own weakness.
I wonder if I'll ever reach the future you desired...
Until we arrive at that day, I'll protect you, without fail!
So, a time ago, Schezo ended up sacrificing himself for Arle. He knew he is no hero, not one by any stretch of the imagination. He was after an ancient artifact that can alter the laws of the world. But somewhere in the back of his mind, he wanted to make sure Arle is safe. He doesn’t know why he did it, but he did.
He doesn’t really give a damn about the whole black cats, salt spillage or stepladder thing. He finds them rather asinine nuances that do nothing to affect one’s luck. Don’t be surprised to be told to shut up if you claim that XYZ happened because he did ABC.
Then again, Schezo’s own luck is rather garbage cursed or not, so he kinda lost the ability to care.
11.) Is there an animal you equate with your character?
A cat perhaps...?
Schezo does act all independently and somewhat selfishly with his wants. He just rolls on whatever the heck he feels like and sleeps on bridges when nobody asks for it and doesn’t give a shit. Though with proper loving and care, he’s going to open and warm up so much.
7.) Is there one event or happening your character would like to erase from their past? Why?
Schezo’s life been, frankly, full of shit after he lived past his parents.
Despite that, he wouldn’t really want to erase it from happening. He kinda mentally blocked out the thoughts in his past, but he can’t truly erase them if he wanted to. Heck, if he did change his past, then he wouldn’t have met anyone he could now.
