Warrior (青年剣士, Seinen Kenshi, lit. "Young Swordman") was an Adventurer in a porcelain-ranked Party that took on a Goblin Slaying Quest before they were ready.
Appearance[]
Warrior wore a breastplate and had numerous bandages on his face. He has brown, untidy hair which he wears a headband around.
Personality[]
Warrior was brash and impulsive, believing that he and his team would easily be able to destroy a Goblin nest without breaking a sweat, whilst disregarding Guild Girl and Priestess' suggestions. He had dreams of becoming a great Adventurer, saving pretty girls, slaying dragons and such. However, he sadly had a overconfidence streak a mile wide which made him neglect obvious safety concerns, planning, and most importantly: teamwork.
Warrior was also a bit of a harem seeker/skirt chaser, being unable to resist having a Party of beautiful girls and was extremely gung-ho on the idea of rescuing all the female hostages that the Goblins kidnapped.
Chronology[]
Background[]
Warrior was a childhood friend of Fighter, whom he grew up with. When he was young, he listened to the stories of Adventurers, which led to him wanting to become one himself. He would sign up with the Adventurer's Guild the same Spring as his friend Fighter and together they met Wizard, forming a Party. The trio would succeed in a few small Quests, like chasing away Goblins from farms and such.

Pride before the Fall
Warrior had overhead Priestess joining up with the Guild and seeing the potential of having a Priest in his Party scouted her. As she agreed he took a Goblin Slaying Quest from Guild Girl believing it would be easy, despite her trying to convince him to try a more rookie friendly Quest. As they traveled to the cave however, Warrior was bombarded with numerous concerns from Priestess, ranging from their lack of supplies, equipment, this being her first Quest and having no experience, and their lack of communication of strategy which he completely ignored. His reasons were he had handled Goblins "before" and he felt the speedy rescue of the hostages was more important.
Warrior's last moments
However, upon entering the Goblins' cave, Warrior went on ahead too quickly forcing Fighter to go after him while Priestess and Wizard lagged behind due to Priestess's nerves. He raced back when he heard the commotion from Priestess and Wizard getting ambushed by Goblins and Wizard getting seriously wounded. Panicking, Warrior began to swing his sword wildly at the Goblins, which made it impossible for Fighter to give him back up, allowing a Goblin to stab in the leg. As he attempted to swing his sword, it hit the walls of the cave, disarming him, then Warrior was swarmed by the Goblins and hacked to death. His last thoughts were him remembering how the Adventures he admired told him how important teamwork was for a Party, and how he failed that.
Unlike Wizard, there was nothing left of his body to collect for burial when Goblin Slayer arrived to take control of the situation.
Abilities[]
Warrior was a rookie who seemed to have some combat training and a limited amount of experience. Specifically, he stated that his party, before Priestess joined, had dealt with Goblins before but in chasing them away, not hunting them or exterminating a nest. This led him to make the foolish mistake of trying to use his long-sword in a confined space which led to his death.
Equipment[]
- Longsword: Warrior wielded a longsword as his weapon of choice because it "looked cool". However, the sword was ultimately what led to his death, as its long blade (along with his recklessness) prevented Fighter from helping him, and rendered it ineffective in the confined cave he was in.
