Galo | Promare

Personality: Galo isn't one for planning ahead and often speaks his mind. He is willful and often relies on that to get through battles. While Galo appears to be all brawn and no brain at first, he is actually deeply compassionate and hates to see others hurt. Furthermore, his plans, while odd, have been shown to work. Said plans consistently use the likes of hikeshi and Matoi as a basis such as his first rescue. He has a heavy interest in Edo period firemen. This has resulted in him giving PowerPoints on the subject and incorporating them into his personal mech. His determination to extinguish all that is wrong leads him into wanting to understand the Burnish more and what they are fighting for. He won't target a group of people without knowing why. He wants to protect all who are innocent. This can make him a little too faithful and easy to be deceived. Galo tends to not follow orders that prevent immediate action, nor does he do well when dealing with his superiors. His impatience and impulsive nature can get the best of him. Despite this, he has enough restraint to leave when his emotions overwhelm him too much.

Appearance: Galo is a well-built man with a long, blue mohawk that is shaved on the sides. His waist is fairly thin compared to his chest. His eyebrows are also blue. Galo's eyes are teal with red segments with his complexion is tan. He is shown to be taller than most characters, but is still shorter than both Varys and Kray. He also has pretty large hands and he’s also 10 inches and thick.

Galo's uniform is that of red pants displaying a yellow #3, black gloves with yellow lines, and black boots also with yellow segments. With said pants, his hips have black straps around them. He is often seen wearing a Burning Rescue uniform without a shirt, and a white, medical compression sleeve on his left arm. Said arm has several burn scars underneath. When he does wear a shirt, it is that of a black short sleeve. This appears to be another part of his uniform. A different outfit is briefly seen during his own ceremony, featuring blue fabric, thin pants, and a FDPP short sleeve.

When adorned in his Matoi Tech, Galo's rescue gear bares a metal shell of a mainly white and red palette. With a green-tinted visor and Burning Rescue logo, Galo's arms and legs are inside, leaving his chest bare. The back is covered by the machine's seat however. On the mecha's left shoulder pad is the number '3.' Matoi Tech also features gray hands mainly used for its partnering staff.

In the prologue Galo-hen, he was previously shown wearing a red firefighter jacket akin to Remi's, but this was soon abandoned. According to flashbacks, child Galo still sported spiky hair and also wore a short sleeve shirt.

Background: In his childhood, Galo's home was set ablaze. In fear, Galo rushed outside into a college student's grasp. Said student was Kray Foresight. From this incident, Kray was considered a hero by Galo. Galo would later grow an interest in firefighting and making him proud.

Before joining Burning Rescue, Galo was able to pass his aptitude tests. His training hours, on the other hand, were not even the minimum. This results in Ignis and Remi hesitating on hiring him before Kray intervenes.

Galo-hen

Galo is first introduced in one of two prequels that discusses the events before Promare. Here, it is revealed that Galo is the newest member of Burning Rescue thanks to Kray's efforts. When introducing himself to his colleagues, he is shown wearing a red jacket, info-dumping about ancient firefighters and showing off his homemade Matoi. His co-workers do not take the same interest.

When the station's emergency sirens go off, everyone begins to set off. Galo is almost left behind, but thanks to him arguing that this could work as job experience, Ignis has Lucia take care of Galo in the truck. This results in Galo getting impatient. Eventually, Lucia discovers that one of the facilities still has a woman trapped inside. This results in Galo taking initiative, covering himself and his Matoi with an extinguishing gel, and running off to go save her.

When Galo finally finds Thyma, he proceeds to carry her outside in his coat as Burnish flames flow behind them. Aina catches them. Lucia's calculations state that Galo's plan had the highest rate of both Thyma and Galo surviving, making Galo out to be commendable to his peers. However, when Thyma wakes up, she suddenly becomes a Burnish, resulting in Galo receiving several burn scars to his left arm. She is then taken away by Gueira and Meis before Burning Rescue can do anything. Here, Galo learns of Mad Burnish by Aina. He then declares he'll be the one to put them out.

Other: he’s also a raging homosexual that loves big butts and cute faces, and he loves being a “hero” to them. His worst nightmare is finding out someone he loves is a Burno.
