Reinhardtzar, Granblue FantasyPlayed By: Icewolf
Faction: Adventurer.
- Appearance -A goliath. There are none who, upon first sight, would see Wolf as anything else. Standing 2 meters and 38 centimeters tall, Wolf towers out above even the biggest Panpaidi. With a physique to match it, his chiseled body and broad, sturdy limbs make him fit to wrestle bears. He has rough, dark black hair framed between two large curved horns adorned with as many accessories as the character creation allowed, and then dressed himself as flamboyantly as he could. The eyepatch, of course, is just for show, and even with it covering his eyes he can see perfectly in Gaia Reborn; in the real world he often had to wear glasses, so sometimes he wears a pair while in Romalia out of habit. His resting face is always stern, and combined with his imposing posture, many people are afraid or in awe of him at first sight. He openly flaunts his size and physique, and despite being a Pirate, isn't beyond using his physique and bare fists in a pinch.
- Personality -In stark contrast to his appearance and initial impression, Flavio is a very calm and collected person with an easygoing attitude. He doesn't sweat the details, takes things easy, and is a bit scatterbrained at times like his brother Vincent. To people meeting him for the first time, he has difficulty opening up, even moreso than Vincent, and it may take several weeks before he can relax around others. During that period, his way of acting around strangers is often rigid, brusque, and slightly awkward. To those Flavio has opened up to, however, he is a very calm yet silly person that cracks stupid jokes just like Vincent does, but doesn't often start conversations. As such he is usually more quiet when not making jokes, and prefers to hear rather than speak. Many can find a reliable, listening ear in him.
However, Flavio isn't beyond using his imposing body, both in real life and in Gaia Reborn, to intimidate or threaten others. He often acts as the menacing muscle to Vincent's much more charismatic diplomacy. Those whom anger him are soon met with a resentful glare in return, and when they take it too far, Flavio isn't beyond just tossing a jaw-breaking punch. He is even more fierce concerning his brother Vincent, and shows those who insult him the pain of missing teeth and a bloody gut.
His friend group was mainly that of Vincent's, due to his difficulty in opening up to people as friends. He would take great joy in playing together with Vincent, and as such, the both of them have developed a near-flawless coöperation with each other. The gentle giant, Vincent and their friends often took fun prodding at each other with silly degrading jokes, but Wolf has been known to sometimes take them too far in his enthusiasm. He has difficulties finding the "border" in social situations, such as taking a conversation too far, doing something socially considered as "awkward", and not stopping a joke after it isn't funny anymore.
- History -Much more rowdy since birth, Flavio has always been a bigger thorn in his parent's sides than Vincent since birth. His weird, awkward, rowdy, careless behaviour would carry on long in his life until 13 years, where he at last finally calmed down. Despite this, he found many friends in school despite his incredible size, dwarfing everyone in his classes. Many people came to rely on Flavio's strength and size for menial tasks, and his habit to easily end bullying of himself or others with a well-landed punch made him a beacon of safety that none dared mess with.
In high school, however, just relying on your physique was no longer an option. The many cliques of people and maturing personality of others left him quickly behind, and it wasn't long before he was outcast, misunderstood and alone for many of his years. In relative solitude, he had brief conversation with his classmates, just sat near them to have his meals, and didn't really interact with them outside of school - instead preferring to play games with Flavio and Flavio's friends. However, this didn't do much to his good work attitude - while not the smartest around, he devotedly finished his homework and did his studying, and never got bad scores - save for French, which he cursed with all his heart. His relaxation came from games, and thus he went through year after year of high school succesfully.
Much more faithful in his abilities, Flavio always had a knack at games like Vincent. He exceeded in other games where more mechanical skill was required, and would often play a supportive role for his big brother in MOBAs and many other games. As such, he is easy to obey to orders from Flavio and do his best, and the two are in great sync both in games and in the all too real combat of Gaia Reborn. With his mechanical skills at games, great teamwork, selflessness and the instructions from Flavio he makes the perfect support and shield for the team that all too often would pull off insane plays deemed impossible.
It would be no different for Gaia Reborn, as he was inroduced to yet the newest game they would play. Two vacations to Italy had already primed him for the enjoyment of the Italian server, and so he gleefully dove right into it with Vincent. At first wanting to be a Monk, he instead opted for Pirate because it was "cooler", despite how much more his physique fit Monk better. Debating between chef and blacksmith, he eventually chose blacksmith to go along with Flavio's Mechanic. After making the biggest, baddest, manliest looking Antas he could, he clicked "Create Character" before everything went black, his last thought one of concern for Vincent.
- Extra -Younger brother to Cat Graycastle, AKA Vincent Vandenkastele.
Compulsive nail clipper, as a result even his once-normal Avatar’s fingernails are slightly shorter.
He is right-handed.
Despite having had up to ten pets in his life, Flavio always found it difficult to get along with them. Most animals were always afraid of him.

Sea Legs
A life of climbing the masts, riggings, and keeping balance on a ship has honed the Pirate’s sense of balance to near impeccable levels. Passively, they recover twice as fast from Debuffs to Movement and Evasion, have a 33% chance to ignore Stagger and Topple inflicted on them, and Stuns and Binds last 1s less, but they can’t reduce Stuns and Binds to lasting under 1s.
Mariner’s Fortitude
Frequent trips and swims into the water are apparent in the Pirate’s mobility when in it. They can hold their breath twice as long and can swim much faster than normal. They also swim as if unhindered by their Light or Medium armor.
Grappling Hook Proficiency
The most iconic tool of a Pirate is their grappling hook, a 10m long rope with a four clawed hook. They are granted one from the start, and can opt to use the grappling hook as a ranged weapon or tool. “Grappling Hooks” are treated as their own proficiency, and the Pirate’s proficiency with them is treated as half of their One-Handed proficiency, rounded up. Dual-wielding a Grappling Hook in the other hand does not incur a penalty.
-Rank 1-
Crow’s Nest
The Pirate performs a mighty jump 3 meters high and holds onto a magic rope that is 5 meters long, appearing 8 meters above the Pirate’s initial location. The top of the rope is magically anchored in the air and can hold any weight, and the rope persists for 10s. It’s a very versatile skill optimally used with some momentum that allows the Pirate to dodge attacks, swing over enemies and cross gaps with style. The nature of this flamboyant move causes all enemies that see the Pirate to build a low amount of Aggro.
1s animation time, 20s cooldown. Below-average mana cost.
“Allies can also utilize this rope, provided they are agile enough.”
Reel Them In!
Grappling skill. The Pirate tosses their grappling hook forward up to 10 meters as the hook is covered in a blue glow. The hook coils around a single enemy or object, dealing low damage and Binding them for 1s, after which they are pulled within 1m of the Pirate. The rope that extends from the Pirate to the target can be used to trip enemies, and the Pirate can use it on an object to grapple themselves up or towards it, or use it as suspension rope to walk. Allies can be pulled too, but won’t be Bound or dealt damage.
1.5s animation time, 10s cooldown. Low mana cost.
Dirty CheatsA quick stabbing attack towards an enemy that deals average damage and inflicts Dirty Deeds for 5s, at 1 stack. When the Pirate dodges any attack of the target, the target’s Dirty Deeds status is refreshed and they receive another stack. Each stack of Dirty Deeds inflicts a very minor Accuracy Down for this duration. If the target lands an attack on the Pirate, Dirty Deeds is removed.
1s animation time, 20s cooldown. Average mana cost.

-Racial-
MartyrdomWhile often looked down upon by People of The Land of other races, the Antas strive to prove their altruism, even at their own sacrifice. Once every 30 minutes, if an Antas is caught in an AoE attack alongside allies, they can opt to spare them. Doing so causes them to take the damage their allies took, but halved.

Merchant Aptitude
With their eye for money and sharp negotiations, Merchants obtain gold at a rate of 1 gold for every 3 words in Commerce threads as opposed to the normal 1 gold for every 4 words. Furthermore, they can claim EXP gained in Commerce threads for the Merchant Talent without penalty.
Passive skill.
