BATTLE STATS

Character Name: Glenn Turnbull

Squad: One
Squad Position: Member - Low
Primary Weapon: Sword & shield
Combat Style: For someone who's so reserved and calculated in his personal life, Glenn is a blunt force weapon on the battle field. His tactics failing to evolve past "see Shadow, hit with sword" caused him to lag behind in training initially, but working with Scout and the rest of Squad One has tempered him and helped him grow. Still, his approach is direct. His impulse is always to be the first to engage in battle, and although deferring to Scout means that he very rarely gets to be first in the turn order, he's reckless in a way that his leader isn't. He doesn't mean to disobey orders, but if he sees opportunities, he has a hard time not taking them - even if it'll put him in danger or throw a wrench in Scout's plans.

When he's not pulling a Leeroy Jenkins, he's a good addition to the team. He'd be a better defensive fighter than an offensive one if he committed himself to it. His self-sacrificing nature means he's happy to put himself and his shield between a Shadow and a teammate, and Vasariah is capable of creating Physical Barriers, a skill he's known about for awhile but is only just coming to employ in combat. He was a slow learner when it came to summoning and getting a hold on his persona's abilities last year, and still tends to rely on himself more than his magical abilities.

Attribute: Strength

Persona Name: Vasariah, angel of clemency
Persona Appearance: Vasariah takes the form of a haloed, feminine standard-bearer, evocative of a sainted Joan of Arc. She looks like a large, three dimensional piece of embroidery which is loose or fraying. Her appearance becomes clearly and tightly-stitched when Glenn focuses on her or using her abilities, but the majority of the time she looks a mess.

Her sword, halo, and flag appear to be rendered in quicksilver instead of thread. Her flag bears the heraldry of the Scottish clan Turnbull.

Affinity: Stone
Weakness: Fire
