Template:Koto
**Solomon Pavus** (*ソロモン パヴロス, Soromon Pavurosu*) is the of the squad of Clover Kingdom’s Magic Knights, and a member of the prestigious Pavus household through marriage. Solomon lived as a street urchin who used his Grimoire, which he acquired at an impressive age and without proper training, to assist in petty thievery and jobs; his only goal to survive throughout the months. The trickery of his art and the uniqueness of his magic made it rather difficult for upper echelons of Clover Kingdom to truly stop his annoying antics. He targeted royal houses and nobility in a statement against their pompous beliefs and willingness to allow citizens of the lower rings to starve. He watched gluttons devour food while orphans struggled to hunt a decent breakfast. This unfairness stirred an innate hatred of the rich.

It was when he met Scheherazade Pavus, that his ideals and beliefs were contested. He realized that the majority of nobility and royalty suffered the same, if not worst, problems as those of the lower rings. Whereas his poorer friends were among true relationships, the rich and powerful suffered from extreme paranoia and loneliness. They married without love. And forbade any form of authentic humanity. The two warlocks bonded over this revelation, eventually blossoming into a secretive relationship. Slowly, Solomon started to follow the light which shined from the abnormal strength and pride that Scheherazade exhibited. Soon, she managed to convince him to join her in the Magic Knight Aptitude test - sharing her dream of becoming a Magic Knight with her lover. She promised him that with such power, they could eventually help the outer rings. Combining the influence of her royalty with the power of the Magic Knights, they surely could even alter the wasteful nature of the nobility.

Several years past, and the two successfully joined the Coral Peacocks. Which was followed by Scheherazade becoming the captain and Solomon serving as her Vice Captain and husband. During their career as the Magic Knight, the Coral Peacock squadron changed their focus towards the revitalization of the Outer Rings. They oversee hundreds of programs and other festivities in hopes of narrowing the gap between nobility and the common folk. However, these actions have garnered the hatred of several Royal Houses and even a few squads. Regardless Solomon’s magic has garnered him several epithets, monikers, and appraisals. However, he is mainly known as **Solomon of the Primordial Language** (*大和言葉のソロモン, Yamato Kotoba no Soromon*) as well as the The synergetic relationship between his spells, physical abilities, and focus on unorthodox methods have made him a powerful adversary to traditional Warlocks. Thus he has acquired a mythological status among the Magic Knights who can only whisper about his abilities. Few are capable of asceraining the actual mechanics of his spells, only that he has performed magics of different grimoires. This secrecy has garnered him the title of **Warlock of a Thousand Magics** (*千魔法の魔法使い, Senmahou no Mahoutsukai*) and made him an assassin often employed by the Sorcerer Emperor himself.

## Personality

Solomon was a relatively normal child in the world of magic and wonders. He developed his magic early and decided that he would follow in the footsteps of his mother, a great warlock who devoted herself to making the world a better place. He watched her work endlessly towards reaching her goal of changing the country, performing daring task and risking her life for the happiness of strangers. Watching the happiness she passed onto the outer citizens left a subconscious seed of a desire to continue her legacy. And thus, he started down his path of honor by performing small task for people. He believed that no task was too small or unimportant for the strongest of warlocks and neither recognition nor reward was required among people who serve under the eye of justice; for continuing the order and happiness of the human heart was enough of a reward. Solomon also believed in a special justice that surpassed laws and rules created by corrupt nobles. Inside every heart is a scale of morals. But the young warlock was exposed to certain downsides of a feudal system. Those born without having to *earn* their right to power. Simply destiny handing out a claim to those who hadn't deserved it.

Unfortunately, his ideal of a personal sense of honor became the primary reason why his wife became the captain of the Coral Peacocks instead. Solomon always places his personal feelings and emotions above that of society. Simply put, if he was to choose between saving his loved one or feeding humanity, he would watch the world burn in self-gratification. It is this selfishness that makes it impossible to call him an actual Magic Knight. Magic Knights are beings who rely on selflessness and sacrifices towards the entirety of the kingdom, two aspects that are impossible for him to comprehend. When his pride and joy are placed on the line - he will gladly place his allies on the line in order to protect it. He does not walk with the air of an amazing magic knight or undeniable warlock. While confident in his abilities, he understands that there are people who greatly surpass his own might. And such, stands with a tranquil yet gentle power. He retains his infamous inconspicuous nature, maneuvering through the kingdom with an air of mystery. He is a master at diverting attention from himself, disappearing into crowds and losing those who wish to trail him. Outside his professional work, Solomon is quite interesting to hang around with. He is charming, funny and willing to please those around him. People are often shocked to find out who he is and often overlook the revelation. When he reveals himself as the vice captain, people refuse to believe that someone of his kindness earned such a title.

Solomon is considered to be the world's greatest glutton. He indulges himself to the point some would consider it an addiction. If not for his extreme metabolism, Solomon would surely weigh tons by the age of 20. He prefers food over everything. He will travel hundreds of miles for food and even halt a mission if it means getting something to eat. Solomon states that he is always hungry and that food and drink are two of man's most important gifts. There are few things that Solomon would never try, but overall, he is considered extremely open-minded to food. There are cases of Solomon being paid in food or an expensive dinner as opposed to money.

Solomon enjoys combat. He is known for dragging out battles to fulfill his action loving persona. He has entered challenges that seemed impossible and stood against beings way beyond his current power. He welcomes each situation as a chance to grow. However, Solomon is quite responsible when it comes to his professional life. Refraining from allowing his love of battle to interfere with work. He sits atop the highest building and watches his enemies work, gathering important information from a distance. In a way, Solomon has even jumped into battles that don't involve him simply for the potential of growth. Accompanying his love of battle is an innate fear of death.Solomon desires immortality above all else. He despises senseless murder and cherishes the life of those who live it to the fullest. However, he is not afraid to kill beings that stand in his path of happiness.

Beneath his chaotic neutral stubbornness is a deep love and loyalty. Those who he call his friends are among a list of people he would protect, even if it meant going against the laws of man. He has betrayed orders in order to protect them. Above all whom he came to know, Solomon possesses a deep love for his childhood lover and wife. No one is more stubborn and quick to anger than Solomon. Whenever challenged or annoyed, he is willing to chase down his enemies until they retract their words. In some ways, Scheherazade often note that Solomon is the king of temper tantrums when he is aggravated. Not so much that he would lose his composure, but enough to cause annoyance to his allies. But from his stubbornness came a love of battle that would result in the Warlock never backing down. He never gives up and will continue onwards until he achieves his dream and goals.

## Battle Prowess

Among the nine squads of Clover Kingdom, the Coral Peacock’s ranking situation is actually a special case where the vice captain has actually surpassed the captain in magical efficiency. This stems from Solomon lacking the complete personality required of a Magic Knight captain. And such, there are instances where enemies unknowingly, albeit foolishly, underestimate the battle prowess of the Vice Captain. He possesses a natural, battle-loving spirit guided by a singular desire to propel his magical prowess to the utmost limit. The goal to complete his Grimoire grants Solomon potential seen only by the upper nobility.

### Magic

**Word Magic**: Word Magic is considered a unique form of magic which materializes the meaning of the word upon the external realms, thus allowing Solomon to manipulate the environment by imposing a command upon it. Initially, it follows the principle that words are nothing more than symbols with a designated meaning. The symbols F I R and E is associated with fire and thus holds a specific command for mage's to manipulate the element. A user of Word Magic could invoke a spell by writing those four letters, which would only create fire. Alternatively, Solomon's conduit utilizes an ancient language comprised of a system of symbols which encompasses all meaning and interpretations of different concepts. If the concept of fire requires four letters, this language's word for fire also covers fire, heat, and incineration. And thus, one symbol will revolve around the complete concept Solomon states that Word Magic is the power to directly command mana in its purest form through meaning, in a same way one's incantation can control mana. His inner mana, which lacks an elemental affinity, attaches itself to the target and materializes its meaning. He is able to utilize his inner mana in a manner similar to the natural occurring phenomena of Magic Zones, where the mana actively manipulates different aspects of the area. Causing and amplifying natural phenomena. An advantage of Word Magic is the unique form of invocation. The spell casting process is shortened by combining the activation with the effect. Whereas common warlocks require an incantation to shape and command their mana, Word Magic is achieves the same outcome through the usage of a singular written symbol or character which matches the purpose of the spell - the required command that dictates the mana's purpose. By actualizing the spell into the characters written, it is given a physical form and purpose. This is accomplished through compressing the entire existence of the spell, purpose and all, into the name itself. When one performs magic through the usage of complex or simplistic incantation, the words become a means to control the mana. Thus, warlocks often speak riddles or chant the spell’s name for proper activation. Other users of Word Magic require numerous lines to cast different spells. However, Solomon's particular language allows him to use singular symbols to encompass the same spell.

The semantic power behind this unique language often means that a single symbol holds the verbal power of an entire paragraph. Meaning that there are words which possess the linguistic power of an entire paragraph, thus allowing for Solomon to achieve a quicker invocation without the necessity for a full incantation. In essence, Solomon uses this form of magic to shorten the time required to cast spells.And such, invoking the symbols meaning upon the external world causes it to have the effect of an entire spell. The spell’s representation itself instantaneously shapes the mana into the purpose of the spell. And such, the words materialize and guide the mana’s action. In the same way that Fire Magic shapes and transforms Mana into flame. The word represents the spell’s functionality, name, and efficiency. It is an extremely versatile magic that allows him to perform miracles which seemingly belong to other sorcery disciplines. He is able to create and manipulate elements through careful utilizations of different commands, often confusing his enemies in regards to his actual magical prowess. His inner mana commands the external target to burn, essentially conjuring fire. Or dictates the air to sharpen into several blades. For which, he has been labelled the **Warlock of a Thousand Magics**. Yet, enemies are confused by the mechanics of Word Magic which shroud the extremely simple truth of his wizardry.

It is a form of spellcasting utilized through inscription rather than verbal commandment, which also allows Solomon to cast magic in silence. Compared to other sorcerers who often shout their spell, he is able to wage battle or completely assassinate his target. Upon which, the characters of the word appears in an ancient runic language. Inscribing the word utilizing a wand, magic item, or his own personal knives allows Solomon to carve the spell into his target from a considerable distance. As long as there exist nothing between his target and himself, he can literally write the spell upon the surface of his focus. This is accomplished through his exceptional mastery of magic zone. In cases where his target is obstructed, the spell is written in thin air and fired towards his target. He can also grab the characters and implant them onto an object in order to delay the activation or personally brand his target. Thus, being a written focus, Solomon is able to perform a variety of functions and set numerous traps.

Yet, in a twisted sense of irony, the largest advantage of the Word Magic discipline is also its largest weakness. Often, a spell’s incantation is the source of its power. Larger incantations command greater amounts of mana in order to increase the overall power. Allowing Fire Magic users and Water Magic users to accomplish spells of catastrophic levels. Contrarily, Solomon is extremely limited to a certain increment of magical power per spell. While the words of the older language often encompasses a grander meaning, it still lacks the efficiency and commanding power of incantations and other forms of magic-inducing patterns. And such, his spells are described as rapid fire shots fired from a cannon as opposed to the destructive orchestra of a true warlock. And although Word Magic utilizes external mana to manipulate the physical realm, it still requires his inner mana in order to activate. With his inner mana taking the form of short commands, he can only command small amounts of outer energy. However, the time required to cast spells allows him to perform Magic more than ten times quicker than normal warlocks. Effectively allowing Solomon to compound multiple spells in the time it takes for a Warlock to cast a single spell. He can utterly manipulate the battlefield.

Fortunately, Solomon’s average magic power falls inline with the usage of Word Magic. Whereas a fire based spell would cost a Fire Magic user ten ounces of magical power to set someone aflame, Solomon can achieve the same effect with three ounces of magical power. Albeit the flames overall power pales in comparison, he can effectively chain a wind spell with it to increase the flames power for two ounces. Or change the surrounding oxygen to a flammable gas to increase its intensity. Eventually equalling the overall power for less magic power expenditure. It is this skillful usage that has garnered him as a flawless manipulator of magical power. When activated, Solomon describes it as spitting out a piece of mana from within. Which then attaches itself to the mana flowing within the targeted area, object or creature. The words, comprised entirely of mana, appear upon writing. Solomon states that his magic cannot force a target to perform an action which is unnatural. While an Earth magic user could create an army of soldiers, Solomon can only command earth to do that which is normally possible.

As Word Magic is essentially commanding the external through the usage of inner energy, Solomon is quite the weapon against warlocks who rely solely on magic. For his magic is able to often override spells of the weaker variety or take control of a smaller portion of a massive spell. When used against their being, his mana binds itself to their inner mana and implants a certain command. However, this can be faulted through careful mana control. The rapidness upon which his spells are activated due to the speed he is capable of writing the symbol has allowed him to overwhelm larger magic with several smaller spells.

When activated upon a living target, Solomon uses his inner mana to command their internal reservoir to perform a certain action. Weaker spells are often easy to invoke due to the subtle intrusion, causing others to often overlook the spell itself. However, spells which require a larger mana intrusion are easier to detect and prevent. This is seen during the process of the writing, with each stroke breaking through the target's mana defenses. Upon completion of the spell, it becomes difficult to break through the spell without a massive expulsion of one's magic power - effectively weakening his target and making them more vulnerable to future spells.

* (*Spin,Gyration, Rotation*): A two stroke spell. The word forces the invoked to enter a rotation dependent upon Solomon's command. It can range from a gentle swirl to a catastrophic spin capable of causing considerable damage. Upon different elements, the usage of the command allows for infinite possibilities. From uprooting the earth to causing a dangerous landslide capable of swallowing his opponents. He has created cyclones and flaming firestorms. And upon water, Solomon's magic is enough to halt naval advances and prove difficult against several water magic practitioners. He can combine the different effects in order to increase the efficiency, power and functionality of each individual invocation. When used upon elements of a magical source, the spell simply forces it into its whirling formation without removing control of the element. However, the suction power is often strong enough to serve various defensive purposes. The spell, when activated upon an individual, forces them to spin in a similar manner. He often uses it to punish his subordinates or tormenting the often drunk Scheherazade. In line with his status as an assassin, Solomon will invoke this spell upon his weapon in order to create deadly projectiles.
* (*Break, Functionality, Dissolve*): A one stroke spell. The characters for this spell causes the targeted object, location or victim to shatter or fragmentize. When used on objects, the target often crumbles or loses functionality. This has allowed him to destroy objects through both minor and major infrastructural damage. A rampaging beast will suddenly suffer from numerous defections before crashing. It has proved useful during invasions and infiltration missions, upon which Solomon is able to dismantle their fortress without causing collateral damage. Locations lose stability and crumble away when the inscription is invoked. Solomon can also use this spell offensively against his enemies. When the characters touch an area of the body, that area is put under excruciating pain as bones break and muscles tear. Solomon can imbue his items with this spell in order to perform devastating physical attacks. Solomon can focus this command on the mental prowess of his enemies by aiming it towards their head. Upon contact, they will experience intense migraines as they are push through insanity.
* (*Burn, Combust, Engulf*): A two stroke spell. The spell causes the focus to spontaneously combust into flames. The strength of the fire is enough to incinerate the target completely or cause considerable damage. Unfortunately, Solomon can not control the temperature, intensity or fluidity of the created fire. He describes it as simply commanding that which he writes to explode.
* (*Explode, Spontaneous, Destruction*): A four stroke spell. It invokes the meaning of a concussive force or rapid expansion resulting in a incredible explosion. Living creatures are able to resist the command to explode through basic mana manipulation. Mana skin also provides considerable protection from the influence. Thus it is more effective for Solomon to attack through external explosions and utilize this spell only once one is significantly weakened. However, he has sniped his targets of weaker mana power from frightening distances.
* (*Severance, Bifurcation, Separation*): A single stroke spell with damage amplified through the usage of additional strokes. The spell can be used in a projectile manner to slice whatever surface it was invoked upon or drawn upon a particular targeted area for a more accurate usage. Solomon compares it to the masterful stroke of a sword, with each movement of his wand cutting marking an area to cut.
* (*Protect, Obligation, Without Failure*): A 3 stroke spell. The characters of this spell causes the target to become a barrier. An invisible, dense, shield of air surrounds Solomon or his targeted area. Water, fire and earth are commanded to protect without failure. Living creatures will stand tall and sacrifice their physical being in order to save Solomon's will. Solomon combines the strokes of this spell and his enhancement spell in order to increase the defensive power of the targeted shield. Transforming air into a steel-like barrier and the surface of a lake into a nearly impenetrable fortress.
* (*Freedom, Gravity, Tether Severance*): Solomon developed this spell after witnessing the miracles of the dungeon, where mana would cause entire earthen structures to float without failure. This command forces the external mana to remove the influence of gravity upon a certain object - essentially allowing it to float without an actual tether. However, he can also use this spell for various supportive purposes.
**Healing Magic**: Solomon is able to perform healing spells utilizing his symbols as a a medium. This is achieved through the meaning of different words, whether it includes the spiritual, physical or mental plane. He has the ability to heal wounds of different calibers, reaching his limit to stopping severed limbs from bleeding. However, the time it requires to heal a specific wound is dependent on the severity of the wound and the amount of time which has passed from initial damage. He is able to perform these spells in conjunction with his reinforcement magic in order to mitigate the damage received from over amplification.

* (*Memory, Spirit, Reversal*): A six stroke spell, Solomon is able to restore damage done to a specific location or target through his restoration spell. When used on objects or locations, it appears to command the thing to revert to its previous form while the body of living creatures are forced to heal. Solomon can utilize this spell to internally and externally heal himself and his allies from damage, allowing for extensive support against troublesome opponents. Unfortunately, it requires the pieces or material of its composition for a natural healing. Solomon cannot revert a broken bridge with a missing screw or regrow limbs, organs and other appendages without matching materials that are compatible. Incompatibility will cause even more damage as the body will reject the attached pieces and thus cause necrosis. And in case of inanimate structures, Solomon's lack of carpentry knowledge will actually weaken the structure completely.
**Restraining Magic**: Solomon can induce several spells upon organic and inorganic matter which halts their movement. The usage of restraining magic various between inanimate objects and living targets. This is due to the complexity of energy manipulation. Living targets are able to resist the restraining force of his different spells through careful mana manipulation. And thus, the strongest Warlocks can completely negate his spells with minimal effort. Contrarily, inorganic material are completely vulnerable to his command - allowing the Peacock’s Eye to completely halt its movement.

* (*Restrict, Bind, Halt*): Similar to his enhancement spell, it is one whose power revolves around the amount of strokes utilized in invocation. This spell materializes restrictive characters which invoke the purpose upon that which it touches. It limits the targets movement from the location of activation, essentially binding them to a certain area or restraining them completely. The specific characters glow dimly as they are implanted upon the target's outer surface. When beings of Mana are targeted, they are able to resist it through overwhelming magical power. As while the spell restrains magical power, it is simply a dam built around the mana within. Weaker opponents are completely susceptible to his spell, finding their body frozen in place and mana sealed away. Yet several captains, including Scheherazade herself, have completely obliterated the spell by releasing small amounts of Mana. Solomon states that continuous usage, however, allows him to drain those of more gifted reservoirs. Alternatively, Solomon can completely halt the movement of objects that his words have imprinted themselves on. This has allowed him to stop objects of a considerable size without relying on his physical power which lacks compared to other Magic Knights. He states that objects imbued with mana are more difficult to manipulate, for they offer the same amount of resistance as living creatures. And thus, enemies can overcome this spell by imbuing items with large amounts of Mana. Which will turn this halting spell into one which slows momentum.
* (*Freeze, Absolute Zero, Nothing;*): A three stroke spell, Solomon is able to cause targets or areas to freeze. As with his fire spell, he is unable to control the temperature or exact intensity of the ice creation. However, as ice is a solid substance, he portrays a better control over the formation of the element.
**Reinforcement Magic**: It is the usage of Reinforcement Magic which has garnered him the title of **Warlock Killer**. While his allies and enemies alike use magic to manipulate the external world, Solomon streams his reinforcement spell through his own body and weapon. The overall increase in both functionality and efficiency transforms the Warlock Killer into a magical weapon capable of rapidly dispatching his target. He states that this focus stems from his days as a thief, where time was of the essence. Contrary to his colleagues usage, Solomon has developed a spell which serves as a sensory enhancement.

* (*Power, Force, Spirit*) A unique spell without a set amount of strokes. Instead, each stroke increases the overall boost of the spell. It increases the functionality of the target. Whether it is one's strength, spirit or resolve, it effectively allows Solomon to enhance both the power of both his allies and himself. In terms of physical power, it causes one's mana to transform into energy for the body to use to become stronger and powerful. He compares it to a blast of water fired from a pipe. And such, continuous usage becomes strenuous to the body - making it a spell which has limitless potential which is directly equal to the danger. Since emotions and sensations are the product of bodily functions, Solomon can utilize this spell to enhance mental and spiritual states of oneself. Thus allowing him to erase fear and cause his allies to stand strong. His skillful usage of Mana Zone allows Solomon to utilize external mana to uphold the enhancements as opposed to one's own personal reservoir.
**Curse Magic**: As with every language, there are certain words that are meant to cause some form of pain. These forbidden words cause effects which are detrimental or horrific, allowing Solomon to quickly dispatch of threats without alerting guards or other forms of defense. Similar to his other spells, these curses are extremely efficient albeit weaker compared to those who specialize in actual curse magic.

* (*Deteriorate, Dissolve, Eternity*):
* (*Remove, External World, Information Severing*):
* (*Kill*):
**Rune Magic**: The utilization of Word Magic alongside Trap Magic granted Solomon the ability to utilize Runes for delayed invocation. He is able to speak the word onto the object, inscribing the meaning onto existence through the use of the object's mana. These stones are unique, capable of easily circulating mana. The spell which is inscribed upon the Rune glows dimly when dormant, expanding into a bright flash before activation. He utilizes the runes in a variety of methods, planting them for others to pick up or activating when within vicinity of certain mana signatures. While powerful traps require anywhere between minutes to hours for proper preparation, the subtle direct nature of Word Magic allows Solomon to utilize his traps in a matter of seconds, for he simply infuses his spell into the designated stone. It is possible to achieve rune magic through the usage of normal earth, which allows him to manipulate the battlefield by using the three main trap types.
