Rokurou Rangetsu

Rokurou Rangetsu (ロクロウ・ランゲツ) is a protagonist in Tales of Berseria. He is a 22-year-old, free and happy-go-lucky young samurai who is actually a Daemon. Despite being one of those affected by the Daemonblight disease that transforms humans into monsters, he still manages to maintain his sense of reason. He later joins Velvet Crowe on her journey as a means of paying off his debt for saving him.

History
Three years prior to the events of the story, Rokurou was one of the few who became a Daemon during the events of the Scarlet Night. Despite becoming one, he managed to retain his bodily appearance, as well as both his sense of self and reason. When he was younger, he often got into fights with his older brother, Shigure Rangestu.

Appearance and Personality
Rokurou has medium-length, spiky black hair that covers the right portion of his face, specifically to cover his right eye. His hair is tied into a low ponytail, and each strand of hair flicks out. The right side of his face is covered with markings that appeared after the Scarlet Night and continues lower down on his body. His attire consists of black legwarmers, pale-lilac samurai pants, and woven robes. Another layer of a dark purple robe is worn over this and tied around his waist. The purple layer of clothing has orange as its inverted color.

Rokurou wears a chest-plate guard and presumably something of the similar sort for his arms, which is finished by a thick, plated shoulder-guard. He has a strap attached to his torso that he uses to hang his sword on the back of. He also wears traditional sandal footwear for that of samurais, with straps and socks. Personality-wise, Rokurou is a cheerful young swordsman who carries his ways of a samurai the same as when he was human. He is also caring despite having his mercenary-type ways, being the one who treats Laphicet like a younger brother, something he encourages Velvet to do more, which reveals his nurturing side. He also considers himself a man-of-duty.

Fighting Style
Rokurou's battle class is that of a dual wielder. This means that he holds two blades to fight with, which is a reference to his samurai lineage. His moves primarily consist of martial artes and slash techniques, Earth being his main attribute in combat. When Rokurou has enough Soul in his Soul Gauge, he can use his Break Soul called Retribution (因果応報 →カウンター技). His Switch Blast is Eluding Strike, and his mystic arte is Form Zero: Void.
