Character: Savaris Kolrafin Luckens
Series:
Chrome Shelled Regios Character Age: Unknown, but comparison with other characters implies ~ 21 or so.
Canon: The world of Chrome Shelled Regios is populated by mobile cities that traverse a desert-like planet in search of fuel and escape from the deadly Filth Monsters. The story follows Layfon Alseif, who is trying to find his place in the world after being banished from the city of Grendan. The city of Grendan is also know as Invincible Lance Shelled Grendan, and is a city that produces the strongest military artists in the world. At the core of this city are twelve Heaven's Blade Receivers, who are the strongest military artists.
Savaris Luckens is one of these Heaven's Blade Receivers. He is known for always having a smile on his face and in general being genial and amiable. He has his bad traits as well, one being an intense dislike for the weak, another being a smidgen of greed. He moves through life at an unhurried and yet almost business-like speed. Savaris doesn't like to be tied down by other people's weakness, but he doesn't mind dillydallying for some casual torture. With every good dillydally is a monologue, and with his monologues Savaris teaches us life lessons about why being weak sucks and tosses out the odd metaphor -- like how sitting with your ear to the traintrack waiting for a train to come smush your head is phenomenal.
In Regios each city is named after the electronic fairy which powers it, and there are different categories of cities, such as Academic Cities and Royal Cities. Also, you could say Savaris works for Miss Shinola.
Sample Post:
Miss Shinola certainly has some friends in interesting places. Haha! No, that's not a slight against her; I don't think I would ever try to tarnish her name. I've been a few unusual places running errands for her, and I have to say that this one should get some kind of award. The Inescapable City of Marcy... sounds kind of intimidating, to be honest! What a strong first impression. It's almost exciting.
Not an Academic City by the looks of it, and you've got more guts than any student I've seen. Sorry, bad joke, couldn't help myself, and so forth. Now, I'm looking for a Miss Elizabeth Sayre, I have a personal delivery to make for her... Hooh? She's been married and widowed? What a busy woman, she clearly has a few things in common with Miss Shinola. Don't get me wrong: 'busy' is meant in the kindest possible way here. I guess that makes this wedding gift a funeral gift, then. Only a few years too late, that's not so bad.
Now, no need to be clingy, it's probably best that we part ways here. Not that your company hasn't been enjoyable, but something a bit like rot seems to be between your teeth. That, and your grip couldn't kill a hamster. You know what they say about the strength of a handshake. You haven't heard that saying? Think of it in very simple terms, a weak handshake means other parts of you might need to be fortified, and nobody likes a limp noodle for a companion.
Life is a lot like cooking pasta. Haha, that does sound a bit trite, doesn't it? But hear me out. You put the water on the boil, and instead of watching it, you listen to it. With your ear over the pot you can only feel the heat and hear the boiling spitting against the lid. Louder and louder, until the lid itself starts to shake with the force and the side of your face is so hot you wonder if it might burn off. You start thinking, "Am I going to die?" And, "I have to escape." And then you step back and go hide in the corner. Or I guess, back to the swamp to crawl under some mud and hope death passes you by.
But you know? The best kind of pasta is cooked al dente. To the teeth.
