He primarily wears a dark overcoat with dark armor plating placed on his chest, right shoulder, and lower areas of his legs. Additionally, he wears dark leather gloves, boots, and a dark blue scarf draped around his neck.

The weapon in his possession is the Legendary Sword which was granted to him during his summoning to another world.

Personality
He is terrible about cooperating with others and his solo-player tendencies frequently cause problems.

Background
He is a high school student. He lived in a more advanced world compared to the other heroes, where it is the norm for games to be played in virtual reality.

He was caught up in a murder case and ended up getting stabbed on the right side of his chest while protecting his best friend. He presumably died from blood loss.

Loop 1
(Light Novel Volume 1 Prologue - Light Novel Volume 1 Chapter 4)

During the first loop, Motoyasu's bizarre personality lost his credibility with all heroes - including with Ren. Ren was also annoyed by Motoyasu after Motoyasu interrupted Ren on how to use the status magic system.

After Naofumi was framed for raping Malty, Ren believes the false claims and calls Naofumi trash. However, Ren was uncertain whether or not Motoyasu was from the future.

Loop 3
(Light Novel Volume 1 Chapter 4)

In order to verify his theory on how his time reversal skill works, Motoyasu killed Ren which started another time loop.

Loop 4
(Light Novel Volume 1 Chapter 4 - Light Novel Volume 2 Chapter 10)

After the four heroes were summoned, Motoyasu used his knowledge of the future and the other heroes to convince them that his was from the future. However, he was separated and forced to flee to Siltvelt with Naofumi before he could talk more with Ren.

However, even Motoyasu's brief warning allowed Ren to critically think about the kingdom of Melromarc. He saw Itsuki get the preferential treatment while unsubstantiated claims were placed against Naofumi and Motoyasu. Seeing King Aultcray and Malty's actions, he believed them to be untrustworthy. After confirming his suspicions with Motoyasu, he decided to leave Melromarc for Zeltoble.
