Name: Mathis Lora
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown; at least 2000 this current life
Birthday: 1 Dec
Sexuality: Straight
Special Characteristics: Often Wears a mask
Personality: Before there were even written records, there were the beings in Alrest known as Blades, mysterious beings born from crystals that, once those who resonated with one died, would return to crystals, losing all of their memories and only retaining a basic personality. Mathis Lora was, once, such a Blade, but he has since fused with his Driver and become a Flesh Eater, a seemingly immortal Blade that can resonate Blades of his own.
The nature his base form of Mathis gives granted him an honorable spirit, not too dissimilar to that of a samurai. He refers to others using typical honorifics, often -san and -sama, and speaks in a very formal tone. Above all else, honor is the name of the game for the fighting machine, refusing to resort to tactics such as ambushes to gain the upper hand and wishing for a fair fight in all that he does. This base form also gives him an expertise in using weaponry, though it also gives him a lack of abilities in magic, only having awakening to magic as a result of his transformation into Flesh Eater.
Since his transformation into Flesh Eater, however, his outlook has changed slightly. While he keeps the honor, he has installed his own code of ethics into his being, the primary factor being that of stopping those that would wish to rely on those underhanded tactics for their benefits. Since he has come to a revelation and an acceptance towards his lot as a non-human, he has also made it his mission to attempt to rescue as many Blades as possible from the unfortunate cycle of death and forgetting. He has also lightened up, showing more interest in matters of technology and the different styles of fighting shown throughout the world. As a Driver to many Blades, he also fashions himself somewhat of a father figure, often shown through his artificial Blade, Poppi.
Despite his unbending personal morals, he is, by all accounts, a genius. While he may not be a natural genius, thousands of years of travel and learning, both general knowledge as well as fighting, have worn their way into a true sense of smarts. He is often seen kindly lending a hand to those in need with any matters, whether it be a cat stuck in a tree or performing upgrades to a machine. He can sometimes be seen as cold-natured due to his stiff way of speaking, but deep down, he has a kind heart that is willing to help all.
Likes:
*Honing His Combat: He is a master of combat, both in melee and in short-ranged due to his sword, Monado. However, even though he is a born and trained master, he wishes to be the greatest fighter in the world.
*Honor. Above all else, he is an honorable man, preferring to challenge his opponents to one-on-one duels, the only addition into combat being his summons.
*Inner Peace. He likes controlling his emotions, keeping a cool head. As such, he can often be seen meditating in his down time when not training.
Dislikes:
*Cowards / Dishonorable People: He sees these types of people as the lowest of the low, disregarding a fair fight.
*Defeat. While he will take defeat in a duel honorably, he by no means likes it.
*Blades / People being Mistreated. He wishes for his species to live their best life, and seeing people mistreat Blades, or any people for that matter, angers him.
Motivations:
*Becoming the Greatest Swordsman in the world. Despite being in a world dominated by magic and ranged combat, Mathis prefers an up-close approach to combat. As such, he wishes to be the greatest in such a skill as he possibly could be.
*Becoming Well-Known as a Warrior. While success is certainly the priority, he admittedly does wish for fame, albeit for the sake of giving his homeland more recognition.
*Bringing the Art of Swordsmanship to New Heights. While certainly ambitious, he wishes to see the world appreciate swordsmanship as a new art.
Fears:
*His sword breaking. Despite the master craftsmanship of Monado, Mathis fears that it is entirely possible that it can and will eventually break.
*Illness. Despite him being immortal, he is not sure if that extends to an immunity to illness, which would certainly be able to kill him, as a blade to the throat would.
*Failure. His failure not only means his personal failure, but also the failure to live up to the expectations of his entire species.
