“I’m the violence in the pouring rain.”
He stood, body stilled as if cut from stone. His thumb idly tracing the hilt of his sword, the only movement issued. Time had passed, and he remembered. Two years without it, and yet it was his again; his past.
❝ I remember. You need not convince me; I believe you. I felt it with each strike, the power that drove the Lady of Sabertooth.
The events that followed aside, I do not think you weak. A victory over a strong opponent does not make me ULTIMATE any more than it makes you, who stood as formidable before me, WEAK. You are not. To underestimate you would be a fool’s decision, and I am not one.
That power, more so the the desire to manipulate it, I understand it. You and I, we’re not as different as you might wish to believe. A fine line, indeed. ❞
he is an unyielding cornerstone made of steel and he would never shatter.

Like I’ve done with my Erza, I’ve decided to make one post where I’ll address the most significant/defining moments/details of my character. Basically, what you’ll need to know before interacting with him. That kind of stuff. This way, you can search through headcanons and other such posts at your leisure, but you’ll still know the fundamental bits. (I will give word of any updates done to this post.)
ONE. Unlike with my Erza, who lost against Minerva, EZRA stands victorious. He defeats her, though not without pushing himself to his absolute limits. His wounds, while not nearly as life-threatening as Erza’s own, are still not something to be taken lightly. Equipping the Nakagami Armor still took quite the toll, taking with it his memory. While he doesn’t struggle nearly as much as she does, he does struggle. Minerva might’ve lost, but she did not go down easy. In fact, shortly after his victory was announced, he collapses, unable to stand for that last fight. Fairy Tail is marked as victorious there, but does not receive full points because he does fall.
TWO. Ezra does not partake in the Dragon part of that arc, nor does he take part in the celebration after the GMGs. During this time Ezra is hospitalized. He wakes up with no memory, but is told of his final moments, of defeating Minerva. While he has no recollection of past events, he feels that if he risked so much, then that victory was well earned. (NOTE: Even in the verse where he does lose, against Minerva’s male counterpart, Mordred, he does not take such a dive as the one Erza falls to.)
THREE. Comparing pre!GMG Ezra to pre!GMG Erza, he is much less compassionate, quieter, and less willing to show mercy. He is methodical, organized. He will give you a chance to back off once. If you do not take the exit when he signals it, you are fair game. He is more serious than Erza is, keeping mostly to himself and immersing himself in work. He trains. A lot. And he ENJOYS the fight, comes alive when he is able to display the extent of his skill. Though this should not be mistaken for over-confidence. Defeating an opponent once is not enough to make him think himself GRAND. Defeating someone once merely means that he wants to fight them AGAIN, see if it he can achieve it a second time. Like with his rivalry with Mira (or her genderbent ). Sometimes he won, sometimes he didn’t. It’s not about that to him. It’s about the skill. About improving, about having something to better in himself. It’s about the rush. He’s a competitive bastard (IF it catches his interest).
FOUR. Hate does not consume him in the way it does for his female counterpart. It merely gives him something to look forward to, an opponent that will put his strength to the test. He enjoys being able to use that strength, to display all that he has made of himself in all these years. So even without memory, the man trains, and does so obsessively from the first moment he can, so that he can have something to show for himself during that time. Because even though he lost his memory, the way he sees it, he risked this for a reason. And that’s the point, not the outcome. It means that his past self chose to stand for something.
FIVE. As with my AU!Erza, Ez CAN feel love. His emotions are way more limited than her, but he does have the capacity to feel things. And quite strongly if the circumstance provided him reason to. He is just a bit harder to show it. And often, when he does, it’s either in full force or very subtle, not often does it land in the middle.
SIX. Due to being the victor of his fight, Ezra does heal in time to help FT in Tartaros. (He is not around for the dragons, the celebration, or Flare’s part of the story. And he does not arrive in the first wave to Tartaros. He comes much later). Now, he does not yet have his memory. But he does fight. It is here that he meets Minerva again. And it is she who saves him (though not out of compassion) from Kyouka, using his own blade to strike the woman.
SEVEN. His female counterpart saves Hisui during her healing phase in Crocus. Ez saves Hisui during the same time. For him, however, it is on his way back from the fight in Tartaros. On his return trip, diving into the chaos of the ‘after’ is when he retrieves her. This is how he gains her respect, which will add to influences that he will have later. It is as a Knight of sorts to her, that he spends the time-skip.
