### Rashad (Fire)

 Recruitment Level
 Recruitment Method
 Character Description
His fate forever changed when he decided to join a cultural exchange program with his fellow elves in Lumisade. Meeting Laphlaes, learning about arcane engineering, visiting the the Third Tower Academy... These were quite literally the greatest moments in his life. It's not hard to guess what came next: opposition from his family followed my disownment and culminating in an attempt on his life to maintain the family's honor. None of it stopped Rashad, who left behind the sand of the desert for the snow of the North. Thus was Lumisade's Third Archmage born, bringing with him a paradigm shift to the field of arcane engineering.
As a natural researcher he may lack social skills, but he has a good heart.

### Rashad (Water)

 Recruitment Level
 Recruitment Method
 Character Description
However, most researchers from the Third Tower itself view him with no small amount of trepidation. This is likely due to his personality; for, once he finds something of interest in someone's research, he will track down the researcher in question and ask inquiry after inquiry until he gets an answer with which he's satisfied. This can take hours.
These interrogations do lead to improvements and corrections, ultimately generating better results. However, they also often result in the researcher withdrawing their thesis or scrapping all of their work and starting again from the beginning. As such, whenever any researcher sees even a hint of Rashad's shadow, a chill immediately runs down their spine—regardless of how much they may revere him.
Nicknames around the lab for Rashad include "the Reset Button", "Mr. Reboot", and "Square One".

### Rashad (Light)

 Recruitment Method
 Character Description
Despite being the Minister of the Ministry of Arcane Engineering, in reality, he was the most ostracized person there. He had strange peculiarities and would say things that no one else could even attempt to understand. At times, he would also stay up all night for multiple nights in a row at the lab. No one ever thought strange of him. But one night, after the last scientist in the lab headed home for the day, Rashad quietly headed to the central control room. He then enacted his plans just as he prepared. He first disabled the central security system and then unlocked access to all the barriers and gates of the inner sanctums of the laboratory.
On this day, he and his accomplices carried out the promises they made to each other, and people risked their lives to face the empire. As the empire was bathed in fire and brimstone, the lab was no exception. On that fated day when Rashad fulfilled his mission and disappeared into thin air, he had made a resolve—to destroy all of the empire's knowledge of arcane engineering and the fruits of their work. No one will be able to comprehend what was going through his head as he watched his research lab burn to ashes. One can only wonder what kind of resolve he had as all sorts of wanted and missing-person posters of him were plastered all over the empire.

## Dialogue

**Before Recruitment**

* As long as I am able to continue my studies of arcane technology, anywhere is fine.
* I am Al Rashad. I am in charge of the Third Tower of Lumisade.

**Upon Recruitment**

* Thank you for accompanying me on this first step to becoming a knight.

**In the Heroes menu**

* Oh... I don't know, I don't think my sleeping pattern is terribly irregular. Sometimes I just stay awake for long periods of time. What's the longest I've gone without sleeping you ask? I think it was something like 120 hours.
* Back then, if I had not met Laphlaes, I would be living a boring life filled only with family disputes. I'm extremely thankful.
* The advanced courses offered at higher educational institutions are quite enjoyable to complete. Of course, room and board are included. Would you like to attend? We can conduct research together.
* Lately, I have been pondering on the importance of activities that do not require complex theories or groundbreaking hypotheses, such as personal or subjective matters. Things that you enjoy - enriching everyday conversation, relaxing walks, a delicious dessert at a restaurant - concepts such as these. Yes, they're very important. Hehe.
* In the laboratory, you can observe people who often appear like they have lost all mental faculties. "If you view a thesis differently it becomes beef stew." They'll laugh maniacally while having this kind of conversation. Haha, you're having trouble understanding? If you look closely at the word "thesis" the organization of its structure matches "beef stew" in perfect symmetry... \*
* I just instructed Sir Rouin on the methods to make the most effective energy drink... I'm not sure if that was the correct course of action.
* The equipment used in the Third Tower has not yet been removed. For ethical reasons of course. My equipment, we can simply make you again.
* I was at a loss when a dissertation I'd had pinned up was burnt away in a fire. But when I attempted to rewrite it, I realized it was already in my mind. Haha...oh...um...My intention was not to smugly boast. I held on to the knowledge for a year or so, thus it was clearly worth remembering.
* Are you familiar with Nezama Shalok? I was born there. My family is purportedly one the holds a lot leverage within the region, but I have no interest in such trivial matters. Rather than holding the tableware, I am more interested in understanding how it is constructed.
* These glasses are also an arcane instrument. At the user's volition, it can create a type of augmented reality environment. Although, it may also obstruct one's field of view during combat...Ah, yes, of course it also aids in vision correction. My eyesight is quite poor.
* The name of my staff? It's a particle controller. Yes? Oh. It is the correct name, Sir Nine. Its name matches its purpose. Is there....a reason I have to look cool?
* A hypothesis exists to prove.
* Taneli? I think we are quite close. Whenever Lucilicca is busy, I often discuss things with him. He is an especially responsible and commendable individual.
* Conversations with Lyn are quite fascinating. Ah, yes. We often discuss new experiments and hypotheses. Do you also have interest in such things, Sir Mikhail?
* A researcher's life is to constantly reflect on the things that have already passed. Oh, do you feel similarly Lord?
* There are many excellent researchers in the lab, so how many should I invite to this experiment? I think it will be a great opportunity for discussion.
* I enjoy participating in research conferences. Listening to the culminations of other's studies, it feels like I'm opening up my horizons to new possibilities.
* There seems to be many people who feel like they have trouble when communicating with me. Among them, there are those that continue to try. In my family as well.
* On this vast planet there are an abundance of intellectual curiosities, and I always look forward to the newest discovery.
* Yes? Ah, having the space to prepare experiments is more important than ambience or geographical location. In that regard, Avillon is quite nice.
* I've known Lucilicca for a very long time. I think she is a great conversation partner. Even if she dislikes listening to results of my research, she always treats me with respect. Oh, did it sound like I was being scolded?
* Everything was quite tedious in my homeland. Then I met Laphlaes. As a scientist there are no words to properly describe it. I simply felt a connection.
* Sir Baretta? I've thought of a new hypothesis regarding Barisada. Yes? Ah...of course. It's entirely possible that the user of such a weapon would have no need for arcane verification. But wait...could you lend it to me for a moment? Ah.....Baretta?!
* Sir Nine, would you look at this for a moment? I made a small customization for Dark Scorpion Fang! Could you please turn off the light? Can you see it? How it glows in the dark!? It's really cool, isn't it?
* I believe the medicine that Sir Solphi made might require its own antidote.
* Oh, Charles. You look like you're in a hurry. Then work hard. What? Oh, my apologies. There was no ill intention. But there's something sparkling in your hair... Is that fairy dust?
* You know of Sir Olivia's artifact Cyclops, correct? The Council once ordered us to replicate it for mass reproduction. In the end, we failed. The analysis of such artifacts is simply impossible within our current capabilities. The technological gap might span decades or even centuries.

**Promotion**

* How interesting. Promotion does not physically change the human body, but seems to generate a sense of improvement through mental stimulation. I suggest we study the effects of this process on others as well.
* Ah, hmmmm. I would like to study the effects of this phenomenon a little bit more.
* I feel a sense of advancement from my previous self, but my existence remains the same. Very interesting.

**Ascension**

* Could I recreate this feeling if I drank dozens of energy drinks at once? I feel a need to establish a proper hypothesis on the effects of ascension. Without a doubt, there is a theorem to explain this phenomenon!
* It's possible that I could become addicted to this feeling, haha.
* Did I reach a higher plane of existence? If so, then my brain's function has surely improved as well. Thank you.

**Ready for battle**

* Shall we go?
* There's a new function I'd like to test.
* It's time to test the results of my research.
* Sometimes outdoor activities are enjoyable too.
* As a knight, I must follow my Lord, correct? Ha, haha.
* I wish to observe the movements of other knights.

**Battle Victory**

* Physical activity is enjoyable from time to time.
* I stumbled upon the possibility of a new discovery, may I stay a little longer?
* It was exactly according my calculations.

**Falling in battle**

* Requesting...backup...

**Skill 1**

*Basic:*

* Ha!

*Support request:*

* I request assistance.
* It's time to attack from both sides.

*Giving support:*

* I'll lend my strength.
* As anticipated.

**Skill 2**

* Tactical conversion!
* Arcane modifications deployed!

**Skill 3**

* Formula entered. Ether field created. Initial particle concentration. Refractive Destruction!
* Calculations complete. Ether field created. Initial particle concentration. Refractive Destruction!
