The hero from the adventure simulation world of sword and sorcery. He awakened due to an accidental integration and reconfiguration with certain primary program data from Paradise. His full name is Sous Richard, a former knight of the Midland Empire. Judging by his voice and movements, he appears to be male, tall in stature, with rigid and exaggerated gestures. His speech exudes a noble demeanor. Richard has a straightforward, unwavering, and stubborn personality, placing great importance on "knightly honor."
As a result of Paradise's data influence, Richard has lost his true body inside his armor and has become a hollow armor that can be active. Initially, upon awakening, he grappled with confusion due to his knowledge of the true reality and his unique condition. However, driven by a sense of justice and "knightly honor," he willingly joined the resistance and learned to control the Drive embedded in his armor.
The Drive is a part of Paradise's program data accidentally implanted in Richard's knightly armor, originally serving as an energy retrieval system for the underlying layers of Paradise. After integrating with Richard's knightly armor, it is embedded in the chest plate position, appearing as a rectangular glowing gem. The Drive enables Richard to traverse Paradise's world sectors through data streams and control the vast stored energy within the Drive. It also causes some alterations to the appearance of Richard's armor. In his own words, he remarks, "It seems I've gone from being a mere knight to resembling a member of the Royal Guard, but this isn't the promotion I want"
Beam Knight Sword - Richard's knight sword, from the outside, appears to be an unadorned, ordinary medieval iron sword. However, as long as Richard draws the sword and assumes a stance, the blade and spine become charged and enveloped in a continuous loop of high-energy particles. (This sword attack deals 75% of AD in damage.)
[Additional Effect]: When Richard's HP falls below 50%, he calls upon the armor's Drive to infuse more energy into the sword, allowing it to deal an additional 20% of AR value as damage during attacks.
Recoil Shield - Richard activates the "Drive" system in his armor, calling upon more energy to envelop himself in an energy shield that lasts for 10 seconds. (During the skill's activation, Richard's AR value increases by 12%, and his AD is reduced by 20%. This energy shield can absorb a portion of the energy released by enemy attacks and reflect it back dealing damage equal to 50% of Richard's AR value [it is based on the number of enemy attacks.])
Light Overload - Richard overloads the energy from the armor's Drive, releasing a powerful shockwave. (This skill inflicts 170 + 75% of AR bonus damage to the enemy.)
Drive Shield - Richard calls upon energy through the Drive to create a tower-shaped energy shield on his left hand, lasting for 5 seconds. (The energy shield can absorb a total of 200 damage when activated, but while the energy shield is active, Richard cannot attack.)
