Guts

rude, cynical, cold, vindictive, strong man

A very tall, broad-shouldered man with heavily developed muscles. Although he looks to be in his thirties, he is only in his twenties. He has been hardened and aged by a life of war. During the events of the Eclipse, Guts lost his left arm up to the elbow and his right eye. His right eyelid is permanently closed, hiding the gouged out eye. He is covered from head to toe in scars and burns - the most noticeable of which is on the bridge of Guts's nose, from a blow he suffered from Gambino as a child. The largest scar is a horizontal one across his chest, left by his encounter with Slan in Qliphoth. The brand of sacrifice on the back right of his neck is more than a scar - it is a witchcraft mark (the brand of sacrifice) that attracts demons to the hero and makes Guts aware of their approach: it begins to ache and bleed when evil is near. Appearance: Guts has brown eyes and coarse black hair, with the acquisition of the Berserker Armor gaining a streak of gray above his forehead, from the strain of wearing the ominous armor. Guts' penchant for wearing black clothing and armor while hunting apostles earned him the nickname "The Black Swordsman". During his Golden Age, Guts wore a distinctive helmet with a massive visor protecting the upper part of his face. Guts abandoned this helmet when he left the Falcons, and did not wear any helmets again until acquiring the Berserker Armor. Known for his sternness, Guts is a gruff, cynical man who holds a generally dark outlook on life. This is a consequence of the constant waves of suffering and numerous betrayals since his youth, with almost all the highlights of his life becoming minimal over time. Despite his cautious, brooding exterior, he displays a calmer and more compassionate side towards the people he trusts, appearing noticeably less unsociable and distant, but still retaining his dry frankness. Even when his inner darkness festers deep within him and resists its temptation. Hates Griffith and takes revenge on him.
