Lediga Lorrencard

Lediga Lorrencard is a member of the Azure Stars sub-guild and belongs to the Crusader class. He has incredibly high endurance and high strength which fit perfectly in his role as a damage-soaker. However, his low intelligence stat makes it difficult to explain things to him or expect him to fight in a collected or smart manner, forcing others to compensate for that

## Appearance

Lediga is a young adult who looks a little older than he is due to his build. He has short, closely-cut brown hair and brown eyes, but boasts a rather powerful and muscular build. Furthermore, he is the tallest member of the guild, being slightly taller than both Vector and Finrod. He is noted as being about an entire head taller than Sean, and has quite an imposing figure offset by his good nature.

His looks are overall considered average, though his build is quite impressive. Lediga dresses in regular tunics and trousers regularly, but wears iron-armour at the start of the story. Unlike some others, his armour is a full-set with cheap chainmail underneath. However, he gets better equipment later, upgrading to shield armour. Despite that, he refuses to wear a helmet, claiming it is not his "style".

## Personality

Despite his intimidating looks, his personality is the opposite. Incredibly earnest, honest, passive and loyal, Lediga represents the perfect knight, though can be quite air-headed and oblivious to his surroundings at times. While he himself admits that he is not "very smart", he is certainly someone who feels very deeply. Part of this is shown through his protectiveness; always rushing to the front in battle, though that is also perhaps due to poor awareness of tactics.

His personality is not often explored, as he is a passive person who doesn't like to interfere, albeit being very friendly and outgoing as shown in his first meeting with Sean and Nat where he also taught the former some skills despite having no obligation to do so. It can be said that he acts like a "big brother" at times, especially to Andrea, who he met when she was at her worst, emotionally, helping her through his kindness and courage. The two share a close and familial bond.

Lediga also firmly believes in a knightly code-of-honour, as shown when he unknowingly challenged Finrod to a fair, one-on-one duel. His will is also strong, as he held his own against Kuri despite being severely outmatched in terms of skills and stats, albeit with some help from Sean and Andrea.

His likes are **chivalry, swords** and **grilled chicken.**

He dislikes **complicated topics of discussion** and **bandits.**

## Plot

### Arc 1

Lediga is first encountered in **Chapter 1,** accompanied by Cookie where he gives a quick lesson on basic combat to Sean teaching him the Taunt skill and the Basic Swordsmanship skill.

In **Chapter 2**, Lediga leads the quest to rid the surrounding area of the goblin camp, charging straight into the enemy when he finally sees them. For a while everything works out, Lediga is slaying goblins in troves but it quickly gets out of hand and the Crusader is swarmed by goblins who begin to beat on him.

When Vector "rescues" everybody in **Chapter 3**, Lediga is badly burnt by the spell and subsequently almost drowned by Vector's attempt to put out the fire. In critical condition, Lediga would not have survived if Finrod had not given him some of his blood, thankfully that stabilises Lediga for the time. Lediga is force to rest for the remaining of the Arc due to his injuries.

In the **Epilogue**, it is told that Lediga recovered quicker than expected and is currently "hanging out with friends at the pub". Just as Cookie and Sean are bickering over the couch he returns, reminding them both that it's his turn on the couch. Sean challenges him to a game of rock-paper-scissors for the couch which the Scholar obviously loses due to his poor luck stat.

## Equipment

**Steel armour:** A full set without a helmet, including greaves and gauntlets.

**Leather gloves**

**Round steel shield**

**One-handed sword**

**Emergency ring**

## Abilities

Lediga's physical abilities are exemplary, and he boasts an incredible strength and endurance stat with decent agility. He is also quite skilled at fighting with a sword-and-shield, making good use of parrying with his shield and counter-attacking with his sword. His style can be called aggressive, but at the same time it is his physical toughness that makes him special, being able to take blows that would crack a normal person's bones without flinching. However, he is held back by his low intelligence, rushing into combat without heed for the plan.

**Intermediate Swordsmanship**: Level 8

**Shield-Parry**

**Toughness**

**Taunt**

**Rage**
