Dylan Striker

**Dylan Striker** (ディラン・ストライカー *Diran Sutoraikā*) is an esteemed warrior of The Academy, and the older brother of Delani.

## Appearance

Dylan has a tall and skinny build, and he is very fit due to the amount of training he does. He has almost shoulder length cyan hair and yellowish-orange eyes.

Dylan only has a few pairs of clothes, which he says is because they take up too much room. He is most often seen walking around in a deep blue tank top with a horizontal white stripe across the chest, or his light blue t-shirt that says "S.T.K" in yellow. He almost always is wearing baggy black shorts or dark gray sweatpants, and often wears grayish-blue flip flops. When he goes to fight or is working, he is seen with his staple goggles resting on his forehead until he needs to use them. When travelling through the desert during the Desert Kingdom arc, he wears a large light-brown open-hooded robe over the rest of his clothes.

## Personality

Dylan is more often than not a very carefree and easygoing individual. He often jokes with the people around him and will try and lighten the mood if he feels like someone is sad or down. However, he at times can become quite serious and even cold, especially towards people he dislikes or has a grudge against. He is very protective of his sister, to a point where even she states he goes quite overboard. This is most clearly shown through his disdain towards Senet, due to Dylan believing it was his fault that Delani got so seriously injured a few years prior to the beginning of the story.

## Abilities

Dylan, unlike nearly every other character in the series, has no magical ability whatsoever. Instead, he relies on his arsenal of weapons and his quick wit in order to hold his own on the battlefield.

### Weapons

Dylan is the most talented weapon manufacturer at The Academy, as well as being talented when putting them to use. His main weapon of choice is any sort of gun or long range weapon, as he is vulnerable in close combat due to his lack of magic power. However, he often has at least one or two short range weapons in case such a scenario were to play out.

* **Butterfly Shot** (蝶々拳銃 *Batafurai Shotto*): One of Dylan's most signature weapons. Its design emulates that of early revolvers, but it has unique detailed carvings along the handle, as well as accessories that resemble butterfly wings on the side of the barrel. The cylinder can hold 5 bullets at once, and only the specific Butterfly Bullets that are custom made for the gun. When shot, a Butterfly Bullet with take the form of what looks to be an origami butterfly, and it will fly towards a target even if the initial shot missed. This is due to the "heat-seeking" property of the bullet, which comes from the magic energy stored into it. When it comes into contact with the target, the Butterfly Bullet with started rapidly cutting the target with its sharp wings. Just one bullet alone can cause major damage if not caught or countered. Of course, if 5 bullets are loaded into the gun, they can all be shot in rapid succession, leading to even more damage to a target, but of course using up more ammo at once.

Silver first meets Dylan at his and Delani's dorm, where she mistakes the two for being a couple.
