Takt Arusahorun Faubrey (Web Novel)

Tact comes off as a stereotypical genius who happens to be born once a decade or so. He was chosen as the Whip Hero.

Personality= He acts like a rather insufferable one and care for children & woman, however during the fight for survival he reveals that he's very naïve and selfish.

Naofumi and Itsuki theorize that he is in fact a reincarnated individual, meaning his genius is most likely just a result of his previous life's memories. Ren also notes that he acts like the heroes when they first came to this world and he shows if nothing else all of their negative traits in abundance. For example he has assembled a massive harem for himself similar to the behavior of the old Motoyasu. Like the old Itsuki he will refuse to listen when told he's wrong and even goes out of his way to hurt his male enemies while avoiding hurting women and children under the idea that they're "brainwashed", and likely has no issue killing the men regardless of how mistaken he is. He is also arrogant and prideful to the same extent at the former Ren and refuses to admit when someone is as strong or likely stronger than him, he will either say he was holding back or that they shouldn't be so arrogant to get just a little stronger. This is despite his own clear arrogance and the fact that said opponent might in fact be easily dominating him in the battle.

In battle he is very childish and quite a hypocrite, after he directly kills five Seven Star Heroes and Melromarc's queen, and also killed thousands of the allied force's soldiers, including Atlas and some of the Nafoumi villagers, he complains at Naofumi for killing his childhood friend. Naofumi is quick to call him out on this, noting that Tact did nothing to protect the girl and he was dumb enough to bring her to a war zone between them to begin with, arguing that while he did kill her it's Tact's own fault she died. He at least cares enough about his harem members to shield them when Naofumi dares him to do so.

He has no problem stealing the Legendary Weapons and Seven Star Weapons from their owners and justifies it by saying that they were unworthy of them, but in reality he appears to be the kind of person who believes high levels and good equipment are everything and he is simply hoarding them selfishly. He went so far as to attempt to conquer the world and unify it under himself for the sake of "saving it" but it's quite clear he has no interest in hearing other people's thoughts about his actions and intentions. Appearance= Tact is a Bishonen, having a well built and in order face. His hair is gold, and his eyes are blue. He looks like a stereotypical foreigner, closely resembling the old Motoyasu.

His clothing consists of a rough jacket and pants. Under his crown is a bandana, that doesn’t fit the look. Also, his hair is cut short.

Abilities= He is at level 350 and is supposed to be a genius as well as a magic prodigy. However, the genius he shows is just knowledge from his past life and he is only able to use up to Dreifach level ritual magic (no Choral or Revelation Magic). He also has the power to steal the power of the legendary weapons but it's clear, at least in the case of the Four Saint Weapons, that he can only take part of their power as when he stole Naofumi's shield Atlas notes he only got its physical form and the bare minimum of its power. Also despite stealing the Seven Star Projectile it appears that a large portion of its power was transferred to Rishia, so it's likely he can't steal all of their the Seven Star Weapon's power either. Naofumi even indicates he isn't a Hero, therefore not the Hero of the Whip at all as he claims to be, so he can't use any Hero specific abilities such as Revelation Magic, Growth Corrections, etc. Despite spending years in the world he is ultimately also quite visibly unskilled and inexperienced in battle, as Naofumi very easily overwhelmed him when he manages to erase the roughly 230 level gap between them and fight him on equal ground, to the point where Naofumi could actually take the time to look away during their fight.
