Profile[]
Introduction[]
Trails from Zero[]
A former member of the Crossbell Guardian Force. Just as Randy's gambling, drinking, and womanizing ways were about to see him expelled from the Guardian Force, the CPD took him in, approving his transfer to its newly-created section. He acts like a playboy and regularly tries to shirk his duties to hit up the casino, but when it comes down to it, he can actually be very caring and dependable. As the eldest member of the SSS, he plays the role of the team's older brother at times. A highly skilled fighter, he expertly wields a powerful stun halberd to take down foes.[5]
Trails to Azure[]
A former enlistee from the Crossbell Guardian Force and the oldest founding member of the Special Support Section. At present, he has returned to the CGF to assist Warrant Officer Mireille with rehabilitating the guardsmen who had been drugged during the Cult Incident. Prior to arriving in Crossbell, Randy was a member of the Red Constellation, one of the most powerful jaeger corps in all of Zemuria.[6]
Trails of Cold Steel III[]
A former jaeger born into the Red Constellation, a jaeger corps widely regarded as one of the most powerful on the entire continent. He's now the homeroom teacher for Class VIII: Combat Tactics. After leaving the jaeger life behind, he ended up in Crossbell and joined the Crossbell Guardian Force, but after certain issues arose, he ended up leaving that, too. He was then quickly scouted into the Special Support Section—a branch of the Crossbell Police Department. Alongside his comrades—Inspector Lloyd, Elie, Tio, and others—they overcame many trials together. For once, he felt like he had a home. However, when Erebonia annexed Crossbell, the Special Support Section was disbanded. Randy then joined the Crossbell unit of the Imperial Army, all the while secretly helping his friends fight imperial rule. At the urging of a certain someone, he ended up going to Erebonia and becoming a teacher at the branch campus, deciding to help Crossbell in a new way.[7]
Trails of Cold Steel IV[]
The instructor in charge of Class VIII: Combat Tactics at Thors' branch campus. He has a friendly, laid back personality. Randy grew up as a member of the Red Constellation, one of the two most powerful jaeger corps, but left it to join the Crossbell Guardian Force, and then the SSS after that. After Crossbell was annexed, he was sent away to the branch campus by Governor General Rufus. Even as he taught his students and became friends with Rean in Erebonia, Randy was always looking for a way to help the place he'd come to think of as his home find its freedom once more. During the crisis in Heimdallr, he and the branch campus students came to help Class VII, but afterward...[8]
Trails into Reverie[]
The reliable older brother figure of the Special Support Section who was once a jaeger in the Red Constellation. The machinations of Rufus Albarea forcibly separated him from his companions, and he was sent to work as an instructor at Thors Military Academy's branch campus. In a strange twist of fate, however, this move helped him form deep ties with a number of Imperials, including those in new and old Class VII. Upon Crossbell's freedom being reclaimed, he decided to finish his term as an instructor before returning home. Though it was difficult to leave his now-loved position of raising the next generation, the SSS simply wouldn't be the same without him.[9]Appearance[]
Randy is a tall man with turquoise eyes and bright red hair, a trait he shares with the rest of the Orlando bloodline. In his original SSS appearance, he wears a white turtle neck shirt, black trousers, and a large orange coat with a black fur lined collar.
As an instructor, Randy adopts the colours of the Thors Branch Campus; grey and black for instructors. He wears a black button up shirt, dark brown trousers, black fingerless gloves, and a white coat, although he wears an orange tie as a nod to his original outfit.
Upon rejoining the SSS, Randy goes back to a variation of his original outfit, including a white shirt, black trousers, and orange coat. His latest outfit pays homage to both of his previous ones, combining the button up shirt and, now navy, tie of his appearance as an instructor with the colour scheme and large coat of his police outfit.
Randy primarily uses a stun halberd in battle, a long polearm with an orbment and blade on the top. He also possesses an S-Weapon, Berserker, which resembles a large black automatic fire arm with a retractable blade.
Personality[]
Randolph is the cool older brother type personality of the group. He tends to be laid-back and is a somewhat shameless flirt, but hides a sad past behind him. Despite his strength, he feels that it is often not enough to protect those he cares for.
Traumatized by his past as a jaeger, Randolph disapproves of the jaeger lifestyle. Despite having abandoned the Red Constellation, its members continue to address him with respect, even as enemies on the battlefield. He is particularly wary of both his uncle Sigmund and cousin Shirley due to their bloodlust on the battlefield, telling others to be wary while interacting with the latter.
He loves liquor.
