Erik Gesner
CharacterErik Gesner is a forward on Bastard Munchen's youth team during the Neo Egoist League, able to drop back into midfield as well. Brash and cocky, he is known for taunting the Blue Lock players and for the precise ball control that makes him a threat up front.
Appearance
Tall and athletic, Gesner sweeps his blonde hair upward, with a pair of horizontal lines cut into each side of it. He tends to keep his eyes shut. On the pitch he wears Bastard Munchen's number thirteen shirt.
Personality
Gesner swaggers with a bold, competitive edge and takes obvious pleasure in getting under a rival's skin. The arrogance reads as charisma as often as it grates. He makes a habit of sneering at the Blue Lock players, branding them smegma at every chance, and grumbled that he only showed up because the club owner would not stop raving about the project.
Abilities
Deployed as a striker, his brief is to hunt goals from the sharpest positions on the field. His touch backs up the bravado. Facing FC Barcha, he trapped a wildly loose ball from Benedict Grim that he insisted nobody else could have brought down. Isagi rates his handling as precise and delicate, and Gesner proved it by slipping past two Barcha defenders before threading a perfectly timed lob to Rensuke Kunigami.
