Biography[]
*Spoiler Warning*[]
Slayn appears as a young boy in his teens. He was unconscious when he was found by Annette, completely unaware of what happened to him. Due to not being able to remember anything after waking up, Annette decides to give him the name Slayn Wilder. Although he initially lacked the knowledge to properly use a ring weapon, he steadily grew to improve in its use. As time went by, Slayn was viewed as a unique man. Slayn has the capabilities of seeing ghosts, spirit fairies, and a fortune-teller even comments on his interesting destiny. It is later revealed throughout the story that Slayn has another personality, that of the assassin, Gray Gilbert. After learning about his true self, he realizes that he was formerly known as the "Dark Lord" prior to his previous demise.
Personality[]
Slayn's personality can be differed depending on the player's choice. He can be kind, rude, friendly, or cold. There is even a playboy trait that can be seen depending on the blood type and zodiac choice. It would make Slayn able to have different choices of dialogue he can use. Slayn himself is quiet and remains that way until the end. But, he talks once. *spoiler warning* if the player choses Annette to accompany him in the end with Viktor have the knowledge of Homunculus, Annette will hug him and Slayn will chose dialogue to say to Gray. Should player choose "Sorry, Gray", Gray would reply "What are you talking about? Don't worry about it. I don't have any regrets" and Slayn will reply "But, there's only one thing I regret". That's the only speech that Slayn has voiced himself.
Skill and Status[]
Slayn's ring weapon will spawn him a Giant Blade, making him a good melee striker. His initial status shows high ATK and MAG, which means he is a great powerhouse in the party both physically and magically. His other statuses are fairly balanced, he can attack pretty fast due to moderately low ATW, and capable of walking through the battlefield quickly because of moderate level of MOV. Players won't have to worry if he gets hurt because his HP and DEF (both physical and magic) are fairly high. Also, since he can't be removed from the party, Slayn is well-balanced and powerful enough to hold his own.
