Seth

**Seth** is the main protagonist of the Radiant series. At an undisclosed time, prior to the series' beginning, the young man was somehow infected by a Nemesis,or so was thought, it is actually revealed in the ongoing manfra that he comes from a special group of people who share similar physical traits with him all known as the "horned sorcerer". As a result of his curse, Seth was often the recipient of harassment and persecution on behalf of the denizens in Pompo Hill not because of his lineage but simply because he had a curse.

To that end, the young Sorcerer was forced to live as a social pariah, stuck to sleep away from human society. Despite the hardships endured, Seth seeks not vengeance, Instead, he uses the mistreatment as motivation for his ultimate goal of discovering and destroying the mystical Radiant, the alleged source of the Nemesis threat, the true cause of his hardships.

He is currently affiliated with the Artemis Institute.

## Appearance

Seth sports a slim, athletic build. He is of average height for his age, and possesses spiky brown hair that is typically work in a tousled, mildly unkempt manner. The young Sorcerer possesses two white horns that pierces through the bush of hair, and designate his existence as an infected, and by virtue as a sorcerer.

He usually wears an orange tank top, covered by a dark-blue and white-decorated sleeveless, hoodie-jacket. He wears boots that are partially unzipped, and has azure Bermuda shorts. Seth wears brown, fingerless Feather Gloves, although this is simply to fool people into believing he needs a Feathered Tool to use Fantasia.

Underneath these gloves, Seth wears bandages on both hands. He also has a bandage mark along his right cheek, which serves as some form of sealing to keep his magical potential in check.

## Personality

At the onset of the story, Seth is best characterized by his dimwitted nature, reckless, stubbornness, and his astounding immaturity. As a sheltered child, he is initially ignorant in many respects to worldly information. Even something as simple as recognizing a common farm animal, such as a cow, is lost on Seth, leading to him bullheadishly attacking one after mistaking for a Nemesis. His ignorance also makes him unaware of the Inquisition and their animosity towards sorcery, despite their enormous presence in the landmass just north of Pompo Hills.

Having been sheltered and thus unable to go on adventures or hunting trip with Alma, Seth harbors a strong longing to prove his worth. This desire is also fueled by his rough-upbringing, as he seeks to show the denizens of Pompo Hill and the rest of the world that Sorcerers aren't so bad. To that end, in the beginning he recklessly chases fights. He goes as far as to prematurely hatch a Nemesis Egg to sate his desire to face one in combat, without Alma's knowing.

Despite his brash nature, and his proneness to acting recklessly, Seth at his core is a good--natured, courageous warrior. Despite being cast aside by society, he still willing puts his life at risk to save those who unable to stand up against the threat of the Nemesis or even corrupt Inquisition officials. He seeks to put the world at peace, and for that very purpose, strives to locate the Radiant. Seth's idealistic and optimistic attitude is what allows him to continue in what many see as an aimless search.

This optimism causes him to always seek the good in people, even in villains that stand in his way. He seeks to reason with Hameline, despite her plot attempting to lay waste to a large portion of Rumble Town's suburb. While attempting to reason with people firsthand, Seth is not adverse to using brute force when enraged, even going as far as to using lethal force when he deems opponents beyond the point of reasoning. He has a clear sense of right and wrong, and visibly becomes enraged when opponents display definitive wickedness, as seen in his final bout with Konrad. Upon reaching the breaking point, Seth doesn't hold back, and wantonly releases his full power with reckless abandon in order to overcome the devious threat.

## Abilities

Prior to journeying to the Artemis Institute, Seth's capacity as a sorcerer was limited and raw. He had no advanced understanding of Fantasia, and could only formulate the energy around his fist for a basic, fantasia-infused punch. Nevertheless, even before honing his ability, the young man was shown to have immense durability and tolerance for pain, to be agile and to have a very high capacity for gathering Fantasia.

### Strength

As all Sorcerers do, Seth possesses superhuman strength. But even among sorcerers, the boy has shown to possess especially ferocious amount of power. This is first shown even prior to his training with Yaga, as he engages battle with a Golem Nemesis. Through use of brute force, he is able to chain the Nemesis' legs, and bind its movements, although this is short lived.

He is able to use Fantasia to amplify his strength, as shown in his repeated use of the Titan Fist technique, among other spells in his repertoire. This aspect of his physical might is also displayed in his bout with Konrad. When enraged, he was able to summon Fantasia around his hand on the fly, enabling him to change the tides of battle, having been on the ropes and being overpowered by the physically imposing Inquisition Captain. With little effort, he repels the White Silver Lance and is able to produce enough power to dent the structure of the metal in one move, despite it's resistant nature to Fantasia.

In the anime, his strength is further testified by his ability to punch a boulder a great distance into a cow farm. It is also showcased by him accidentally sending Doc flying in recoil during his training session. Seth strength serves him well, as he seems to favor close-ranged combat, and typically wins his battles by pummeling his opponents with brute force from his physical blows, albeit ones aided by Fantasia.
