Giganpor

OC

Race / Were Fang

Summoner / Heavy Blade

Dreadnaught

Giganpor is a Were Fang Dreadnaught, known for these days for being a tank and also as someone who is doing things probably the wrong way. His fighting is primarily in his human form, saving his Tusked Snow Lion form for when he needs it usually. He wields as his primary weapon a fully metal hammer-axe spear that he swings with frightening ease. As a Dreadnaught it gets more frightening as his custom buckler serves as a focus for him to summon spells or enchantments. Before the Apocalypse, he had the moniker of the "Golden Fang Knight" for riding a summon into boss battles with abandon. Recently some have started to assume he may be trying to retrieve the title again, as he has a bound Nightmare that is said to emerge from his shadow. Usually helpful, his view and actions have become hardened by the Waves of Calamity that have been striking Yamato. One of the few vocal ones that has more of a care for this world than the one Adventurers originated from, he recently tarnished his name by unleashing player forged weapons in Goblin hands within the Tower itself. This has caused strife with most out there and turned him into an untrusted villain in some eyes. A select few see him as having done what he had to do. Those in the New World and others that have visited him have said that he lacks the remorse on his part, enough that it is worrying on what he may do next.

"Why wouldn't I help others thrive? We are stronger as a party than as individuals. Even someone as strong as I am needs help whenever you go after the boss." - Giganpor

In Japan, it is customary for girls to give gifts to the men in thier lives for this particular holiday, leading to much whispering and gossip amongst the Landers.

While each of the Root Towns are hosting some manner of simple festivities, a more elaborate festival is being hosted within the Ninetails Dominion.

Duty Session 503: Fireball Solves Everything 2022 June 26th
Scattered throughout the forests of Eastal, a number of structures which are believed to have been used for religious rituals in honor to The Burning Goddess lie abandoned. It is said that some of them still contain Igneous Stones, specially crafted rocks used to stabilize and control flames. The secret of their manufacture has been lost to time, and scholars all over Yamato are willing to pay well for some samples to study in the hope to re-discover how they were made. As usual, the encountered challenges will require a variety of skills and ability to be overcome, but due to the special attunement of these structures with the element of Fire, the cooldown time for flame-related Artes is reduced dramatically, thus making this mission a favorite of people who specialize in this style of combat.
