Description
Gayus Levina Soleil is a primary protagonist in Dances with the Dragons and a professional Jushikiist, a user of the magic-like Jushiki arts. He is a young man with red hair cut to neck length and blue eyes, often seen wearing his signature perceptive glasses. Once from a noble family, his household has since sold its title, leaving Gayus to navigate the world without that status. He co-owns the Ashley Buhf & Sorel Jushiki Office alongside his partner Gigina, though the business struggles financially, forcing Gayus to work a part-time job as a tutor at a prep school to make ends meet. At twenty-three years old and standing 183 centimeters tall, his physical appearance is noted for having long fingers and attractive hands.
Personality-wise, Gayus is a complex and often contradictory individual. He is generally unlucky and has a philandering nature, though he also qualifies as a hidden hard worker. His thinking is logical and detail-oriented, a trait common to chemical refinement Jushikiists, which often leads to a pessimistic outlook. He is fundamentally an ambiguous person, neither entirely good nor wholly bad. While he is not altruistic enough to help others without thought, he is also not selfish enough to be comfortable with that fact. This internal conflict often results in self-loathing as he makes compromises and commits errors driven by fear or selfishness. He can be cold and ruthless, willing to deceive even his allies to achieve his goals, yet he also has a cruel streak and can become excited by violence and killing. Despite this, he has a soft spot for women, children, and animals, which sometimes manifests as infidelity that troubles his girlfriend. He is described as a fundamentally unfortunate person, with improbable disasters occurring around him with notable frequency; for example, his high-grade magic sword has misfired twice despite its listed malfunction rate of one in a million.
A significant part of Gayus's motivation and trauma stems from his past, particularly the death of his younger sister, Areciel. Areciel was a girl with whom he shared a complex history; they met when she was brought home by their mother who had left years prior, and she later developed romantic feelings for him, which he rejected. She was kidnapped and murdered in a brutal incident orchestrated as revenge against Gayus and his acquaintances, a tragedy for which he carries immense guilt. This loss is a core driver for his character and a source of lasting trauma, contributing to his protective feelings toward girls of Areciel's age. Another formative event was a betrayal by a former lover, Kuero, from their time together at the Dalahaid Jushiki Office, an incident Gayus has still not been able to forgive or move past.
In the story, Gayus acts as the brains to his partner Gigina's brawn. While their combat coordination is excellent, their personal relationship is famously terrible, marked by constant verbal abuse and bickering. As a result, Gayus is often the one who bears the burden of managing the office and dealing with the fallout from his partner's incredibly reckless spending habits. Despite the mutual animosity, a deep and reliable trust exists between them during missions. Gayus has a girlfriend named Jivunya Lorezzo, whom he cares for, though his philandering ways and flirtatious nature put a consistent strain on the relationship. He also maintains a connection to Yusis, another figure from his past whose own life was heavily impacted by the death of Areciel.
Gayus is a high-rank offensive Jushikiist whose true value lies in his sharp intellect. His strengths are his cool judgment and exceptional leadership, allowing him to outmaneuver opponents with superior power by relentlessly analyzing the situation. If he witnesses a Jushiki, he can understand its nature and formulate a counter to its specific weakness, exploiting the opponent's psychological state or environmental conditions with a high success rate. He specializes in chemical refinement Jushiki, which create explosives and poisons, and can even generate a nuclear fusion explosion within a limited barrier. He also has some ability in biological enhancement to strengthen his own vision and produce psycho-stabilizing substances, as well as electromagnetic attack spells of a medium scale. Beyond Jushiki, Gayus has been trained in hand-to-hand combat by Gigina and Kuero, making him a capable fighter even without his magic, and he is also proficient with firearms. He wields two specific magically-enhanced sword wands: the judgment sword Yorga and the atonement sword Magnus.
