Quotes
Background Story
5★ | A military tactician for the Olderion Federation, and a man who has fully gained the trust of his comrades, especially Jake's. Ever since Nichol arrived to Paladia, he has been wearing a pair of fashionable glasses. Apparently his deceased younger brother Elle planned to give these to him as a birthday present, but never got the chance to before his untimely passing. Elle's wife Arsha then passed these to Nichol before he left for Paladia. |
---|---|
6★ | A man who unknowingly steals women's hearts. Impressed with Nichol's popularity amongst the fairer sex, Jake has dubbed him "a natural born lady-killer." However, Nichol himself is not really sure what to do with his newly found talents. In fact, the only lady he feels completely comfortable interacting with is probably Sakura. |
7★ | Nichol has been recording his entire journey thus far in a book. However, so many things have happened that instead of writing his accounts for posterity, he is mostly doing it to organize his thoughts and emotions by writing them down. His book will eventually inspire a new adventure hundreds of years later, but that is a story for another time. |
Fusion
5★ | As long as I am here, none will die. By saying this, I solidify my resolution in ensuring it is so. |
---|---|
6★ | I will not be prideful, and continue my daily studies. |
7★ | A world without sacrifices... That is the world I hope for. |
Awakening
6★ | It is because of you that I was able to reach new heights. I look forward to accompanying you further. |
---|---|
7★ | My power is awakening... I'll become more powerful than anyone has ever witnessed. Well then, let us be on our way. |
Summon
5★ | You want me as one of your comrades. A wise decision. I promise I will be of use to you. |

6★ | You want me as one of your comrades. A wise decision. I promise I will be of use to you. |
