A young man from another world where sorceresses pass their power down through the ages. Squall detests interacting with others, and often isolates himself. Regardless, he is a star pupil at Balamb Garden, a military academy founded for the purpose of training its students to shoulder the burdens of tomorrow. He also boasts of having passed the entrance exam required to join the elite mercenary force known as SeeD. The scar he bears on his face was the result of a blow from his classmate and rival during a training match.

Background Story

5★	A young man from another world where sorceresses pass their power down through the ages. Squall detests interacting with others, and often isolates himself. Regardless, he is a star pupil at Balamb Garden, a military academy founded for the purpose of training its students to shoulder the burdens of tomorrow. He also boasts of having passed the entrance exam required to join the elite mercenary force known as SeeD. The scar he bears on his face was the result of a blow from his classmate and rival during a training match.
6★	A young man from another world where sorceresses pass their power down through the ages. Squall is a member of the elite mercenary force SeeD and possesses a great talent for battle, wielding the difficult-to-handle gunblade with great ease. Although he had long pushed others away and relied only on himself, he gradually learns to come out of his shell thanks to the comrades who fight by his side, as well as a certain special young lady.
7★	A young man from another world where sorceresses pass their power down through the ages. Squall's antisocial personality doesn't prevent his raw charm from winning over others, nor does it prevent him from becoming a leadership figure for his classmates when a great conflict comes to Balamb Garden. Although he is determined to save those precious to him from the clutches of an evil sorceress, he eventually learns the identity of his true enemy, choosing to risk his life in battle to thwart her plans.

Fusion

5★	It's a good opportunity to test out my training. I feel like I can take on anyone. Even if they do fight dirty.
6★	I will never turn tail. I'm not having anyone talk about me in the past tense!
7★	As long as we continue fighting, we need more power. If there's a price I have to pay for that, I'll gladly pay it.

Awakening

5★	<blank>
6★	There may be missions requiring this sort of subterfuge. It's expected of SeeD to learn various skills.
7★	Friend or foe... It all comes down to circumstance. That's how we were raised. It's...nothing special.

Summon

5★	I don't want to carry anyone's burden. Go talk to a wall.
6★	I'll fight your enemies based on your decision. That's my duty.
7★	There's no good or bad side. Just 2 sides holding different views.

Trust Mastery

It's a grueling battle, and I'm sure you're exhausted. But I don't want to have any regrets. I don't want you to look back and regret this day either.
