Gorou Shimizaki

## Background

**Gorou Shimizaki** is the incompetent sheriff of Redwood Run. Gorou is laidback and friendly, always welcoming visitors to the town. Nonetheless, he is also awfully inept as a sheriff: he hands out guns to everyone without thinking about the potential consequences, he cannot spell, plays games while on duty, and makes no attempt to arrest any of the Banzai Blasters: even when they attack another police officer like Percy. Gorou didn't even realize that sheriffs are supposed to solve crimes. Gorou is overall a happy and harmless, yet forgetful bumbling buffoon.

Can blow at least hard enough to knock a doughnut off a table, which would normally be difficult), **Regeneration** (High-Low. Characters regenerate after winning a battle. Giovannia could regenerate back his broken bones. Possibly Mid-Godly. Molly Blyndeff has an ability named "Hushabye" which dumbs down the opponent to nothing. She later got attacked by bears and when asked if she could erase the bears, she states that they would just come back after the fight. Since everyone instantly regenerates right after a fight in verse, the characters themselves should be able to come back from existence erasure), **Immortality** (Type 6; Mera's bones breaking were viewed as -1 damage this doesn't only apply to **Mera** as she broke Sylvie's ribs. It is stated by word of god that everyone in Epithet Erased functions under JRPG mechanics so even attacks that are greatly above them and should kill them can't, for example being shot in the head will not kill them, they are even described as "extremely hard to kill"), **Restoration** (After battles characters injuries, statuses, etcetera are normally undone, including acts such as de-aging a character, being reverted).
