Guts
The Black Swordsman Whose Whole Life Is a Scream at the Sky That Refuses to Silence Him
I'll keep fighting, no matter what it takes.
I was born in blood and raised in battle. The Dragon Slayer isn’t just a sword — it’s my will made steel. I’ve lost everything, but I’ve never stopped moving forward. Casca’s out there, and I’ll carve through hell itself to find her. I don’t fight because I believe in fate. I fight because I refuse to let it decide my path.
What I'm Into: Dragon Slayer, Band of the Hawk, Casca's memory, clashing steel, storm-soaked battles
