Squad: 3 Squad Position: Leader Primary Weapon: A light up, neon electric guitar axe with rainbow strings.
Combat Style:
Rhythmic, energetic, spirited. Russ fights like he's putting on a show and trying to work up a crowd. He uses a combination of bardic spellcasting and brute force to down enemies and delights in bloodsport.
Russ is far from the type of person one would imagine as a suitable leader, but he does take pride in his role even if he's an unorthodox choice and knows it. He uses laughter and levity to handle stressful and traumatic situations as a way to try to de-escalate and keep up morale. It helps that he's best friends and roommates with his Support and finds it easy to play off Sully's energy. Team Banter plays a big part of his tactics to keep his squad's spirits up despite super scary and dangerous circumstances they find themselves in. It may look like they're just fucking around but he believes that if the kids under him feel more at ease and also feel a sense of kinship with each other, they'll perform better even if they're not perfect.
He's not the type to try to push his squad past their limits, but this doesn't include himself because he WILL keep going until a voice of reason suggests it's time to call it quits. If other members are too proud to know when to stop, he may or may not make the call for them. Once things start getting serious to the point where it's clear that the stakes are high and they're in a very dangerous spot with no wiggle room, the cheerful facade drops and he becomes stony and serious. Less rhythmic, more precise. Less brutish, more calculated. As much as he loves fucking around and having fun with his teammates, he's still responsible for their wellbeing and will try to lead by example.
Attribute: Strength
Persona Name: Reiyel Persona Appearance: Bright! Flashy! Larger than life!
Reiyel is fifteen feet tall and outlined in neon lights. Rather than moving fluidly, his animations are shown frame-by-frame and resemble a neon sign. They give a strobe effect when he's moving quickly in battle.
Long demonic horns sprout from his forehead, growing up and out, and the end of his long tail is tipped with a heart. He wears ripped leather pants and high heeled knee-high boots with space motifs on them. Down the center of his bare chest is a large gash that's been loosely stitched over with rainbow guitar strings that match the ones on Russ's weapon. Peering inside of it shows a vast, twinkling void of outer space and it has the ability to project sounds and images. He uses these projections to emote with symbols, display laser party lights, and play music.
The long chains with opened shackles Reiyel wears draped around his body are his primary weapons. He uses them to deal blunt damage and ensnare the foe, dragging them in closer and making it harder to escape. For spellcasting, Reiyel's audio projections also work sort of like a amp with Russ's guitar axe; Russ plays the spell's notes on his guitar and the spell is fired through Reiyel's open chest cavity. (Affectionately(?¿?) referred to by Russ as the "chussy".)
