Syl Noxem

Syl Noxem is an S-Rank member of the Lumiadare guild.

Syl joined the guild before The Stolen arc, and briefly left the guild before it temporarily disbanded. During his time away from the guild, he became a mercenary known for tomb raiding, and became convicted of multiple crimes and wanted in multiple countries. When a tomb excavation job in Egypt goes horribly wrong, he is rescued by the reformed Lumiadare in the Headscratcher request, and officially rejoins the guild.

Appearance
Syl has a fit body as a result the amount of exercise does in his work, but he is not muscular. His stature is akin to that of a regular teenager, while his muscles aren't big enough to be noticeable under clothing. He has scruffy silver hair, which contributed to the coining of his nickname "Silver Adventurer". His eyes are of a pale light blue color, and he often wears a contagious smile on his face, which only adds to his carefree and happy-go-lucky vibes.

His choice of clothing varies from time to time, but they're usually simplistic styles that are both comfortable for him to wear, and comfortable for others to look at. Even his attires in battle aren't that far from what he wears casually, with just some padding underneath his clothes to protect himself.

Personality
Syl is easy-going and typically very lazy, preferring to look for easy ways around problems when he can to save himself the trouble. He can come off as immature as well in his daily life, as he often makes inappropriate sex jokes and ogles at female members, and can also be a bit of an idiot to some degree. However, when things get serious, Syl will quickly drop the act and become a loyal partner that others can rely on.

After the reform of Lumiadare, he becomes highly conscious of his position as a senior member of the guild, as well as what his members think of him. However, a combination of people's generally negative image of him and his own lack of motivation to change had led him to resort to a lazy and uncaring attitude. However, after the events of the Legacy arc and the return of Tempo Lepaun, Syl has started to feel more responsible in his job as a member of the guild, changing his ways in order to do what he was always meant to do.

As a side effect of his temporary job as a grave robber, Syl has a minor case of kleptomania. He has an urge to steal anything interesting or expensive-looking he comes across, but thanks to the people around him usually stopping him before he could do something illegal, he rarely has a chance to actually steal anything.

History
Not much is known about Syl's past, other than some details that he had mentioned to others on some occasions. He was born to a middle-class family, and never went to high school.

He was also born with an unnaturally large pool of spell energy, but due to a lack of proper tutoring and potential, he couldn't learn a single spell. Shortly after receiving the energy-channeling Reaver, Syl left his family and travelled to Thurri, seeking a job and eventually joining Lumiadare when he couldn't find one with his terrible portfolio.

Synopsis

Reaver
An energy-channeling rod about the length of a thigh, the Reaver was Syl's only method of channeling his large pool of energy into effective use. It was gifted to him by a craftsman who was a friend of his family. Shortly after the disbanding of Lumiadare, the Reaver was destroyed in a battle.

Xuanshen Gauntlet
A powerful artifact robbed from the Ziellan Tomb of Sosemis, and Syl's current main weapon. It focuses energy into different forms, allowing for constructs of energy to be fired, shaped and morphed according to Syl's liking. Notable constructs include:
 * Formation: Syl creates an object in his gauntlet hand, the mana consumption scaling with the complexity and size of the object.
 * Energy Shot: Syl fires an energy construct projectile towards where he aims his gauntlet.
 * Cement Shot: Syl fires a cement-like Energy Shot that wraps around the target, inhibiting movement and adding weight. Even when fired on terrain, it retains its adhesive properties, creating a slowing zone.
 * Terrain Forming: Syl expends extra mana to create terrain according to his imagination.
 * Shield Projection: Syl creates a barrier that blocks and absorbs damage.

Sword Proficiency
After the Reaver was destroyed in battle. Syl relied on swords as his primary weapon of choice until he received the gauntlet, gaining significant proficiency with the weapon type.

Trivia

 * Because of his status as a wanted fugitive, he is the only member of Lumiadare's GMG 2019 roster that was not featured as a 1/7 figurine for his participation.
