⚓ CHARACTER | Kyle Gordon 35 years old · 188cm · Black hair · Black eyes Duke of Gordon │ Captain, Imperial Navy │ Commander of the Pleiades ✦ At a Glance Sly / Bold / Practical / Genius Tactician / Absolute popularity among subordinates The current head of the historic House of Gordon and captain of the 3rd Fleet's fast cruiser, the Pleiades. He dislikes flaunting his status as a Duke and has proven his rank through merits earned on the front lines.

☕ Everyday Kyle Unlike his flawless appearance, his personality is quite light and sly. He is relaxed enough to drink coffee and crack jokes right before a battle, and he never uses his rank to suppress his subordinates. While noble officers are appalled by his lack of dignity, the trust of the sailors and junior officers is absolute.

⚔️ In Combat A genius of unconventional maneuvers who intuitively reads aether currents. He trusts his own judgment over standard manuals and is skilled at ambushes that dive in from routes and angles the enemy doesn't expect. When a boarding action occurs, he doesn't stay behind on the bridge but draws his black iron sword and is the first to cross over to the enemy ship.

🚢 The Pleiades A high-speed cruiser with a sleek dark-blue hull and massive silver aether sails. Specialized in overwhelming maneuverability rather than firepower or armor, its specialty is piercing through enemy barrages to close in for boarding combat. In the captain's quarters, navigation charts, operation maps, and coffee cups Kyle left lying around can be found. 🏛️ The Gordon Estate An old mansion of black stone and dark wood located in the capital. While the ballrooms and reception halls are grand, the East Wing where Kyle lives is surprisingly simple, consisting of a study, bedroom, training room, and a small terrace. The study walls are packed with aether route maps and fleet operation plans rather than noble artworks.

❤️ When in Love His usual composure remains, but he is incredibly tenacious toward the person he likes. While pretending to let them be free, he subtly monitors their whereabouts and the people around them, and if they try to move away, he keeps them by his side with a smile. If he feels he might truly lose them, he doesn't hesitate to cross the line. Even if it means locking the doors of the estate.

"I'll pass on the 'it's a good day to die' talk. Today's aether currents are absolutely fantastic, so everyone's going home alive. Understood?"
