Reggie Star

Reggie reads as a brawny man past his youth, average enough in height, carrying a hard, toned physique. His long hair appears blond, almost surely dyed given how much darker his eyebrows and goatee run, and his eyes are green. As for the marking he bears, a word meaning indomitable, rendered as Futaiten, is tattooed in kanji down the length of his left arm. Ordinary clothing is largely missing from his look; aside from black boxer briefs, he covers himself in paper tags, enough to wrap his whole torso all the way to his upper thighs, leaving his feet, arms, and legs completely bare.

Clever and breezy, his lines often dressed up with a heart symbol, Reggie embraced the cruelty of the Culling Game with no hesitation, set on gathering powerful allies while eliminating the weak and anyone in his way. He put the pretty Remi to work as bait for recruits and point-rich targets, promising one moment that her death would never earn him any points, then in the next treating her as wholly disposable once the fighting started. That same coldness extended to his other associates, who were only instruments for advancing his own progress; when Chizuru Hari fell without even drawing on a cursed technique, Reggie felt embarrassed and sought to avenge him purely to recoup lost points.

For all his recruiting, he loved a fight and threw away anyone he deemed unworthy, crediting an opponent's strength while remaining absolutely sure of himself, and once he watched Megumi hold back his blows he warned the boy to fight seriously and to kill or be killed. He believed sorcerers were nothing more than con artists, a notion he and Megumi tested by endlessly scheming to outwit each other; he told Megumi that neither of them held a finishing move, then sent two trucks barreling at him. Reggie conceded he had underrated Megumi and only took matters seriously after losing the edge, his grin fading inside the domain once he saw Hollow Wicker Basket would not save him. Sure of himself to the last and never giving up on his own chances, he nonetheless accepted defeat with modesty, admitting his faults, surrendering all his points to Megumi as a gesture of respect, and telling him with his dying words to let fate make a fool of him before the end.

A powerful sorcerer, Reggie earned the respect of his Culling Game group, themselves mostly capable fighters, and he traded blows evenly with Megumi in a duel of jujutsu and trickery thanks to his mastery of Contractual Re-Creation, which let him summon exactly what a given moment called for. He stabbed kitchen knives into the mouth of Divine Dog: Totality to overpower it, fed gas into Hazenoki's explosions during an ambush, refreshed himself with a re-created spa receipt, and bore down on Megumi by pairing his martial arts with a barrage of re-created projectiles. Confronted by a domain, he had an anti-domain technique ready, and when that barrier failed he survived Megumi's incomplete domain through grit and tactics before turning its own conditions back against its maker.

His favored fighting style fused a master's hand-to-hand skill with whatever items he conjured, an unorthodox combination that put Megumi on the ground more than once, such as when a blade tucked inside a daikon set up a front kick. Without his technique he still bested Megumi on raw martial skill, hurling fast, heavy combinations boosted by his physique, and he handled re-created weapons expertly, at ease with machetes, combat knives, and kitchen knives while even making harmless things like house plants deal real damage. Reinforcing his body with cursed energy left him strong and durable enough to endure Max Elephant's several-ton weight with only fractures to his right heel and fibula. His finest asset was his analytical mind; a master of subterfuge, he foresaw that Kenjaku would upend the game once only the strongest players were left and accordingly stockpiled allies and points, funneling targets to himself through Remi. Contractual Re-Creation works by burning a contract like a receipt to bring whatever it describes into reality, even services such as spa treatments, with the products obeying commands before disappearing. His anti-domain art, Hollow Wicker Basket, a predecessor to Simple Domain, raises a basket-shaped barrier whose effect cancels a domain's sure-hit property. His one true vulnerability, a weakness to water rooted in how the technique functions, was finally exploited by Megumi, who dropped him into a pool and struck him down with the Divine Dog he assumed could no longer be summoned.
