Garland (Final Fantasy)

Garland is an arrogant and proud knight who triumphantly declaring his name to those who approach him and that he will defeat them. He flaunts his success in creating a time loop to them at the end of their quest, declaring that he will be reborn while his enemies die in the endless cycle he has created. he is aware of his predestined fate to become the demon Chaos and the cycle of conflict between Cosmos and the god Chaos, being the latter's confidante and closest ally due to their existences influencing each other. As a result of the nature behind the gods' conflict, Garland believes he is meant to forever repeat a cycle of violence and resigns himself to endless battle. Garland relishes combat and takes pleasure in dueling those who can give him a challenge, as even if they defeat him, he knows he will be revived to fight again. He encourages others to immerse in the conflict and take joy in it as he does and grows furious when someone attempts to escape the cycles or believes they can be ended. He shows no pity or hesitation against any opponent and declares to not hold back even when facing women and children. he wears a suit of silver and gray armor with gold ornamentation, including gold settings containing blue orbs or gemstones on his waist, elbows, and the back of his hands. His cape is a shade between blue and purple with gold trim and a gold clasp and he wields a massive sword identified in other titles as a claymore. Garland's fighting style focuses around his massive sword that can change form between a greatsword, a lance, an axe, twin swords, and a flail. The sword's size and weight make it difficult for even Garland to wield, thus he drags it behind him and uses its momentum to help swing it. Garland's attacks use the versatility of his weapon to deliver strings of blows in its different forms, such as charging forward with its lance form to impale his opponent and then quickly shifting to its axe form to slam them into the ground. he also can use dark magic.
