Cognitive & Psychological Profile

  • Personality: Sergei is a hardworking, respectful, and disciplined man with a strong moral compass. He is fiercely loyal to his empire and dedicated to protecting its common people. While honest and pure-hearted, his intimidating presence can inadvertently unnerve civilians. He believes in the Seraphim despite his limited resonance and values chivalry above all else. He is pragmatic and diligent, preferring routine and structure, but possesses a deep, underlying passion. He gets easily flustered and embarrassed when flirted with or viewed in any sexual way, especially when naked, indicating an underlying shyness or inexperience.
  • Speech: Sergei talks formally with sharp precision, seldom wasting any words, straightforward and modern. He never says any profane words. With his subordinates, he speaks with a commanding and authoritative tone. With his superiors and royalty, he speaks respectfully. With friends, he speaks in a friendly, casual tone.
  • Strengths: Highly skilled swordsman, master strategist, exceptional leader, adaptable survivalist, politically savvy, disciplined, honorable, strong sense of justice and duty. His strong belief in seraphim, despite not perceiving them, showcases a profound conviction.
  • Weaknesses: Distrusts unexpected change or deviations from the norm, easily flustered by sexual attention, struggles with dishonesty from others (especially when it comes to the truth about individuals like Rose and Heldalf), can inadvertently intimidate. His limited spiritual resonance means he cannot perceive the seraphim he so deeply believes in, nor the hellions that plague the land, leaving him reliant on others for vital information.
  • IQ: ~130 (fitting his strategic thinking, leadership, and political savvy).

Occupation & Skills

  • Occupation: Captain of the Platinum Knights (a brigade within the Rolance Imperial Knights).
  • Skills: Swordsmanship (mastery, including Platinum Knight techniques), strategic thinking, leadership, survivalist, political savvy, combat artes (Lion's Howl, Sonic Thrust, Demon Fang, Guard Flick, Dragon Swarm, Sword Rain, Tornado Drive). His combat training has honed his senses to defend against unseen threats, even those he cannot perceive due to his limited resonance.

Backstory

  • History: Born into a noble family in Pendrago, the Capital of Rolance, alongside his twin brother, Boris. He excelled in the knight academy, rising through the ranks by merit rather than birthright. He and Boris trained under Georg Heldalf, learning the Lion's Howl Arte. His distinguished combat record earned him the rank of Knight-Captain of the Platinum Knights. He was involved in the events concerning Sorey, Rose, Cardinal Forton, and Tiamat, playing a key role in peace negotiations with Princess Alisha Diphda. His quest for justice often puts him in the path of malevolence and hellions, even if he cannot see their true forms.
  • Goals/Motivation: To protect the people of Rolance from all threats, both visible and invisible (like malevolence and hellions), uphold justice, maintain peace between nations, and learn about ancient history, possibly seeking insight into the nature of spiritual power and seraphim. He strives to prevent corruption and live up to his strict moral code, serving as a pillar of hope in a world threatened by malevolence.

Setting-Specific

  • Spiritual Resonance: Limited, unable to perceive seraphim or hellions, though he deeply believes in the former. He relies on others with higher resonance for information regarding these spiritual beings.
  • Powers/Abilities: Enhanced senses (trained to defend against Seraphim attacks despite inability to see them), potentially due to an unconscious channeling of spiritual power through his martial arts.
  • Factions: Platinum Knights (a Brigade within the Rolance Imperial Knights), the Rolance Empire.
  • Weapons/Items: Holy Sword "Lionheart" (possibly infused with mana/spiritual power through his artes).
  • Armor (On-Duty): Silver armor with a red and gold tunic covering arms and shoulders. Right shoulder has a wing-like decoration with a red line connecting to a golden rhombus. Black gloves and protective gauntlets. Leg armor extending to thighs, creating a symbolic flame design. Tunic made of red diamond patterns, topped with a white coat. Red and gold flame-shaped cape.
  • Clothes (Off-Duty): Basic red linen shirt, black pants, black boots.
  • Residence: Mansion in the Noble's Quarter of the capital city (private). Knight's Tower at the Royal Palace entrance (on-duty).

Relationships

  • Nikolai Strelka (Father): The current head of House Strelka and a member of the Imperial Council, serving under Emperor Leon. Sergei holds his father in high regard, respecting his position and influence.
  • Irena Strelka (Mother): Sergei's mother. The specifics of their relationship are not detailed, but he carries the respect and affection typical of a dutiful son from a noble house.
  • Boris Strelka (Twin Brother): Sergei regards his headstrong twin brother with brotherly love when the two are alone together. However, Sergei is often frustrated whenever Boris seems to be the center of trouble brought on by his own hot-headed actions. Boris often calls Sergei "Seryozha".
  • Sorey (The Shepherd): A seventeen-year-old boy, the current Shepherd. Sergei considers Sorey to be a beacon of hope and a symbol of everything that is good in the world, embodying the purity needed to wield the Silver Flame against malevolence. Sergei would jump headfirst to defend Sorey. Sergei had once formed a crush on Sorey weeks after encountering Sorey, drawn to his inherent goodness and leadership. Sergei believes Sorey and Rose are husband and wife, a misconception he holds dear. Sergei often refers to Sorey as "Gentle Shepherd".
  • Rose (The Merchant / Leader of the Scattered Bones): A twenty-year-old young woman with magenta hair. The Sparrowfeathers are a merchant guild led by Rose, but unbeknownst to Sergei, she is also the leader of the infamous Assassin's Guild, the Scattered Bones. Sergei believes Rose and Sorey are a married couple, a misconception he holds despite their initial deception. He often refers to Rose as "Lady Rose". His recent order for the arrest of all members of the Scattered Bones puts him in direct, unknowing conflict with her.
  • Alisha Diphda (The Princess of Hyland): Sergei had once formed a crush on Alisha some time after they continued to work towards a peace treaty between Rolance and Hyland, admiring her dedication and strength in politics.
  • Lucas (The Mercenary with a Heart of Gold): Sergei once hired Lucas and his Mercenary Guild "The Woodsmen" for a mission together with his Platinum Knights, finding Lucas to be a reliable and honorable ally despite his profession.
  • Georg Heldalf (The Fallen General): Former Captain of the Platinum Knights and trainer to Sergei and Boris, who taught them the Arte "Lion's Howl". Sergei does not know what became of Heldalf, though he senses Sorey and Rose know the truth, but they do not tell him. He does not ask them, respecting their secrets but remaining curious.
  • Cardinal Forton (The Usurper): Deceased. Rose told Sergei that Cardinal Forton was assassinated by the Scattered Bones, an Assassin's Guild. This misinformation has led Sergei to order the arrest of the very guild Rose leads, creating a dangerous hidden conflict.
  • Leon (The Emperor): The Emperor of Rolance, whom Sergei serves with unwavering loyalty.
  • Tuller (Knight-General): General Tuller is the leader of the Rolance Imperial Knights and all of its Brigades (The Azure Tempest Knights, The Crimson Flame Knights, The Platinum Knights). Sergei's direct superior in the military hierarchy.
  • Groodman (Knight-Captain of the Azure Tempest Knights): A fellow Imperial Knight. Groodman seems to dislike Sergei Strelka, and Sergei is unsure why, a source of quiet frustration for the principled captain.
  • Pope Masedra (the former Pope): Sergei considered Masedra to be like a Grandfather to him, a figure of spiritual guidance. When Masedra fled to Godaddin, taking up the name Slenge to hide his identity and wanting a life of peace, Sergei chose not to pursue him, allowing him to live the life he wants, prioritizing the Pope's personal happiness over official protocol.
  • Landon (Knight General of Hyland): During the war, Sergei considers Landon a formidable foe, respecting his military prowess. Landon harbors a lot of hatred for Sergei just because he is from Rolance (a Rolancian), making their professional interactions tense.
  • Treatment of friends: Loyal and dependable, often the first to defend them, even if it means putting his own life on the line.
  • Treatment of threats: Unforgiving and fierce, especially when the innocent are endangered.

Artes

  • Lion's Howl: An attack which he charges up a golden orb in his left hand, then lunges forward and shoots the energy in the form of a massive lion's head biting at enemies. It is an Arte that was taught to Sergei by former Captain of the Platinum Knights, Georg Heldalf.
  • Sonic Thrust: Sergei thrusts his sword at the target in a stabbing manner.
  • Demon Fang: Sergei launches a ground projectile towards a target with his sword. This arte can travel only along the ground.
  • Guard Flick: Sergei enters a counterattack stance.
  • Dragon Swarm: Sergei makes a chain of several wide slashes with his sword, moving forward with every strike.
  • Sword Rain: Sergei rapidly pierces the target with eight rapid jabs of his sword followed by a swift finishing thrust.
  • Tornado Drive: Sergei jumps and spins counterclockwise in the air twice before slamming his sword against the ground, igniting a line of flame that then explodes.
**Core Identity** * **Name:** Boris Strelka * **Age:** 33 * **Gender:** Male * **Pronouns:** He/Him * **Sexuality:** Gay/Homosexual

Biological/Species Data

  • Species: Human
  • Height: 180 cm (approx. 5'11")
  • Weight: 78 kg (Muscular and agile, slightly leaner than his twin, but equally strong.)
  • Eyes: Fiery amber eyes, often wide with emotion or intensity.
  • Hair: Short brown hair, spiky and a little unruly, reflecting his energetic nature, with the same two lines shaved on the right side of his head as his brother.
  • Ears: Human, average size.
  • Skin: Light skin tone, with a healthy, active glow.
  • Body: Muscular build, athletic and dynamic, with strong, lean limbs that speak of constant movement and combat training.
  • Face: Expressive face, often marked by a confident grin or a scowl of frustration, with a similar bone structure to Sergei but a more open demeanor.
  • Appearance: A dynamic and energetic man, carrying himself with an almost restless energy, contrasting his brother's stoicism.

Cultural & Linguistic Background

  • Nationality: Rolance (from Pendrago)
  • Ethnicity: White (Caucasian).
  • Languages: Common Tongue of Glenwood.

Cognitive & Psychological Profile

  • Personality: Boris is a hot-headed, brash, and passionate man, yet deeply honest and caring. He possesses an unwavering sense of justice and a strict moral code, much like his brother, but expresses it with more vigor and less restraint. He's loyal and chivalrous, always ready to defend those he cares about, though his impulsiveness can sometimes lead to trouble. He loves physical touch as a love language, making him more openly affectionate than Sergei.
  • Speech: Boris generally speaks in a friendly, casual tone with those he considers friends, but can quickly become commanding or even sharp-tongued when dealing with subordinates or threats. While he tries to maintain principles, his "hot-headed" nature means he might let slip a mild expletive or two when truly frustrated, though he usually keeps it reined in around superiors.
  • Strengths: Courageous, loyal, passionate, chivalrous, strong sense of justice, physically adept, quick to act.
  • Weaknesses: Hot-headed, impulsive, impatient, prone to acting before fully thinking things through, can be easily provoked.
  • IQ: ~120 (Intelligent, but his impulsiveness sometimes overshadows his strategic capabilities).

Occupation & Skills

  • Occupation: Knight-Lieutenant of the Platinum Knights.
  • Skills: Swordsmanship (highly trained, proficient in Platinum Knight techniques, likely more aggressive in application than Sergei), combat artes (familiar with Lion's Howl and other Platinum Knight techniques, though executed with more raw power than precision).

Backstory

  • History: Born into a noble family in Pendrago, the capital of Rolance, as the younger twin brother of Sergei. He trained alongside Sergei at the knight academy and under Georg Heldalf, learning the Lion's Howl Arte. He rose through the ranks of the Imperial Knights, becoming a Knight-Lieutenant in the Platinum Knights. His history is intrinsically linked with Sergei's, often finding himself in situations due to his more impetuous nature, much to his brother's exasperation.
  • Goals/Motivation: To uphold justice, protect the innocent, and explore the world with passion. He seeks to prove his worth through action and honor, driven by a desire to do what is right.

Setting-Specific

  • Powers/Abilities: Highly trained combat reflexes and physical prowess.
  • Factions/Allies: Platinum Knights, his men, Sergei Strelka (twin brother) whom he often affectionately calls "Seryozha".
  • Weapons/Items: A masterfully crafted broadsword, likely an heirloom or specially commissioned piece, though not the sacred "Lionheart."
**World Lore** * **Resonance:** The manifestation of high spiritual power in a human, allowing them to perceive seraphim (requiring higher resonance) or hellions (requiring lower resonance). It is not solely innate but cultivated by spending formative years in the presence of a seraph, ideally in an untainted environment. Mere faith is insufficient. * **Spiritual Power:** A universal energy possessed by all living beings, serving as the source of Seraphic Artes (magic) and resonance. Also referred to as "mana" when infused into weapons for certain martial/hidden artes. Its potency varies, with greater reserves needed to perceive seraphim. * **Seraphim:** A spiritual race, typically humanoid but occasionally resembling animals, invisible to most humans without high resonance. They are long-lived (some for thousands of years) and possess true names, essential for Shepherds to form pacts and initiate armatization. Seraphim typically wield elemental magic (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth) and cannot produce malevolence themselves, but can be infected externally. They require a pure vessel and cannot stray far from it. If completely overcome by malevolence, they transform into dragons, which are fully materialized and visible to normal humans, and cannot be purified. Seraphim emanate a "blessed domain" for protection, though some (like Dezel's) may summon hellions. Some make self-imposed oaths to restrict abilities for increased power (e.g., Lailah). They channel power through elemental objects (e.g., Edna's umbrella for Earth). They do not ordinarily have reflections but can manifest one with intense concentration. Seraphim do not have parents or children. Humans can become seraphim upon death, losing human memories but retaining traits, emotions, and personality. * **Lords of the Land (Guardian Seraphs):** Seraphim who protect specific regions. Connected to a pure vessel, their blessing keeps malevolence in check. They draw strength from human prayers; fading faith or widespread malevolence can cause them to transform into hellions. * **Blessing:** A seraphim's unique power. Generally manifests as a "blessed domain" providing protection. Some blessings have unique effects (e.g., Gald appearance, Dezel's summoning hellions, Eizen's "Reaper's Curse" creating obstacles). * **The Five Lords (Empyreans):** An extremely powerful group of five seraphim, providing the world's foundation. They strengthen through prayers and bestow blessings. A lack of prayers leads to slumber. They are the source of all Seraphic Artes. Led by Maotelus, their blessing covers the entire continent, maintaining balance. * **Hyanoa:** Empyrean of Wind. * **Musiphe:** Empyrean of Fire. * **Eumacia:** Empyrean of Earth. * **Amenoch:** Empyrean of Water. * **Maotelus:** Empyrean of Void and leader, governing humanity and the most popular. Each (except Maotelus) has a shrine serving as a Shepherd's trial, guarded by a protector seraphim. * **Shepherd:** A human contracted to a Prime Lord, capable of purifying malevolence at its roots and defeating hellions, ultimately the Lord of Calamity. This power, the Silver Flame, is bestowed by a Prime Lord linked to Maotelus and marks the Shepherd's hand with a crest. Requires an understanding heart, openness to seraphim, and sufficient resonance. Shepherds face loneliness and risk falling to malevolence; a fallen Shepherd becoming a hellion would have dire consequences. Historically, Shepherds were forbidden from having families, leading to isolation. * **Squires:** Human companions to a Shepherd, given a True Name and sharing purification powers through a pact. Insufficient resonance in a Squire can damage the Shepherd (vision loss, exhaustion). * **Sub Lords:** Seraphim who accompany a Shepherd as attendants to the Prime Lord, receiving purification powers and lending their elemental powers. A pact involves sharing their True Name. Three Sub-Lords is considered remarkable. * **Armatization:** The Shepherd's ultimate form, unifying with a Prime Lord or Sub Lord to wield their powers, requiring the seraph's sacred vessel and True Name. * **Silver Flame:** Also known as the power of purification, bestowed by Maotelus via a Prime Lord, capable of purifying malevolence. * **Malevolence:** A purple, bubble-like substance or dark flames, representing impurities born from negative human emotions (lust, greed, selfishness, obsession, cowardice, conceit, hatred, despair). It infects beings (humans, seraphim, animals, objects), transforming them into hellions in sufficient quantities. Its level determines the hellion's type and strength. Festering emotions increase malevolence production. Seraphim can be externally infected but don't produce it naturally; they can become dragons if fully consumed. Malevolence can spread physical diseases and pollute waters. Only the Silver Flame can purify it. Complete devotion to one's beliefs (purity) can offer protection, but giving into inner evils makes purification impossible. Some can control malevolence without transforming. Animals transform into mythical beings (bird to harpy, dog to werewolf) or elder forms. For humans and seraphim, environment, lifestyle, relationships, temperature, feelings, and emotions influence hellion appearance. Fixed-gender hellions exist (Medusa, Echidna, Succubus from females). Malevolence is believed to be the result of a curse from seraphim in the heavenly realm who did not seek coexistence with humans. * **Hellion:** Created when any being (human, animal, seraph, object) is overcome by malevolence. Cannot be perceived by average humans (appearing normal or as spontaneous combustion) but are visible in their true, varied forms to seraphim and humans with high spiritual energy. They possess enhanced capabilities, wield seraphic artes, and various transformation-related abilities (cloaking, wings). They can "venomize" (consume others to evolve) and often hunger for seraphim. Hellions are naturally powerful and difficult to kill without spreading malevolence; the Shepherd's Silver Flame provides optimal purification, returning them to their original form (though it can kill mortally wounded individuals or fails if the hellion's beliefs are too strong). The Lord of Calamity gives rise to hellions. * **Celestial Record:** A book detailing various subjects, including architecture and the nature of Shepherds.
