Roland Deschain

Roland Deschain (ローランドデスチェーン Desuchen Roorando) is a mage from the small country known as Sin. He is a former slave of the dark dragon Jadow, so to hide himself from his former master, he has taken on the alias Hunter Black. He is currently employed by the Magic Council as a Rune Knight.

He is the elder brother of Morgan Deschain and is the one who was able to convince her to escape from her own slavery.

Appearance
Roland is a rather tall man. He has white hair and blue eyes. For attire, he wears a black shirt covered with a dark red bulletproof vest. Over that he wears a short sleeved red trenchcoat with short, rolled up sleeves. He wears ebony black pants and matching boots. If he should ever need extra leg protection, he wears scarlet red leather leggings.

Personality
Roland is a very laid back individual. Nothing ever seems to phase him in the slightest, allowing him to remain level-headed despite the opposition. His level-headedness comes in handy as a Rune Knight, giving him the clarity to plan how to deal best with whatever is in his way.

Stemming from his time as a slave, Roland has no sympathy for the people who abuse their power for selfish gain at the expense of less fortunate people, instead devoting his attention to those without power, befriending them and giving them what he can to aid them.

While under the guise of Hunter Black, he is very vulgar and as such, Roland comes across as an un-cultured and boorish man, hiding his true depths from many people in the process, making it easier to keep up his little masquerade.

Equipment
Yatsumaru (八つ丸 Eight Perfection): One of the numerous blades in Roland’s possession, Yatsumaru is one of his most dangerous weapons. A rather plain looking katana, the sword seems to be unremarkable, but holds a personal significance to him, becoming more of a symbol than an actual weapon. Although he refuses to use it, he explains that the weapon should never be used, as it is too sharp and smooth to be normal, the blood slides off and it will never chip or dull. According to Roland, because of the traits it exhibits, no proper sheath could hope to contain it, making it fail to meet his definition of a sword.

Yatsumaru is said by Roland to be one of a pair of swords representing the unity and duality of light and dark, with the sibling blade in the care of

Magic and Abilities
Requip (換装 Kansō): Roland is a master of Requip, allowing him to swap weapons and armor on the fly, giving him a distinct advantage in combat. He most often uses his magic to swap out guns, ammunition, armor and even swords to better suit his situation. The amount of equipment he keeps within his pocket dimension is unknown.
