Figaro

* Anime
* Light Novel

**Figaro**, real name **Vincent Myers**, is a Master of the Kingdom of Altar, the current 1st place in the Kingdom's duel rankings and one of the Superiors known as the Kingdom of Altar's Big Three. He is also a member of the clan Death Period.

## Appearance

Figaro's avatar is usually noted to have an extremely prince-like appearance, with a handsome face and blond hair. He is frequently compared to a lion, due to his beast-like eyes and fighting power. However, due to only caring about stats, the equipment he wears tends to be mismatched.

In real life, he has an unhealthy appearance due to his chronic health issues.

## Personality

A true battle maniac, Figaro tends to use the simplest solutions to problems, such as destroying every Master in the Lunar Society when Ray was kidnapped by Tsukuyo Fuso. He has a weird mental tic that causes him to lose focus when fighting together with allies, causing him to stick to solo playing. However, due to training with Hannya to overcome it, Figaro became somewhat better with fighting with others. Despite this, Figaro is friendly and open, interacting favourably with most of Gideon's duel rankers.

## History

The firstborn son of the Myers Conglomerate, Vincent Myers was born with a serious heart condition that caused him to have frequent strokes when excited. Because of this, young Vincent spent most of his childhood in the hospital and was unable to attend school or be trained to inherit the family business.

When the revolutionary VRMMORPG *Infinite Dendrogram* was released, his 'younger brother' Keith encouraged him to begin playing. He did, and the incredible realism of the game allowed Vincent to experience the feeling of running under his own power for the first time in his life. He initially joined the country of Legendaria, but after running into an accident circle, he was sent to the Kingdom of Altar and decided to make his home there.

## Abilities

### Embryo

**Red Lionheart Star, Cor-Leonis** (獅星赤心　コル・レオニス): A Form VII Type: Arms Embryo that takes the form of a prosthetic heart. As a Superior Embryo, it is tough enough to block a blow from another Superior Embryo.

* **Arms Selector** (武の選定アームズ・セレクタ): Increases the effects of all equipped items and weapons. The degree of the increase is inversely proportional to the number of items Figaro has equipped. When fully equipped, the effects of all Figaro's equipment are doubled. The maximum possible value of the increase depends on the total number of equipment slots Figaro has.
* **Dance of Anima** (生命の舞踏ダンス・オブ・アニマ): Increases the effect of Arms Selector the longer Figaro fights. When Cor-Leonis was in its third form, the effect increased by 1% every 3 seconds. After it becomes a Superior Embryo, the effect increased to 1% every second. When his equipment reach the limit of their performance that can be demonstrated, which is mostly within several tens of times their original capacity, the effect will be the same as using Cor-Leonis' ultimate skill continuously without any risk. This skill will be cancelled after 5 minutes in non-combat state.

**Burn, My Soul — Cor-Leonis** (え上がれ、我が魂コル・レオニス): The ultimate skill of Cor-Leonis. The effects of all items and equipment's skills used by Figaro are strengthened to the utmost limit for the next 30 seconds. In the case of UBM special rewards, it is possible for them to display power equal to that of the original monster. However, using an item in this way will cause the items to be permanently destroyed after using its skill, even if it is a special reward. The skill also reduces Figaro's maximum HP by 1% every second and causes his blood to boil and burn his flesh.

### Job

**Over Gladiator** (超闘士): The Superior Job of the gladiator grouping. An all rounder job that allows the user to equip any weapon and increases the number of available weapons slots the user has, so they can adapt to any role. However, the sense skill level for using individual weapons is rather low for a Superior Job. The status growth of this job is even in all aspects except MP and LUC. One of the conditions for achieving this job is to reach the first place of a country's duel ranking and clear a certain quest.

* **Equipment Slot Expansion Level EX** (装備枠拡張 レベルEX): A passive skill that increases the number of equipment slots the user has by more than 10.
* **Complete** (統一王者コンプリート): The Ultimate Skill of Over Gladiator. It is a passive skill that allows the user to use all the skills of any Superior Job they have set as a sub job. Because Figaro does not have another Superior Job, he cannot use this skill.

**Gladiator** (闘士): A low-rank job from the Fighter grouping focused on duelling. People with this job can equip all types of weapons.

* **Equipment Slot Expansion** (装備枠拡張): A passive skill that increases the number of equipment slots the user has, allowing them to wield three weapons at once.

### Other Skills

* **Physical Berserk**: An active skill that greatly increases the users' stats in exchange for removing their ability to control themselves. While this skill is in use, no other active skill can be used.
* **Unnamed Skill**: This passive skill allows the user to control themselves while using berserk type skills.
