counterattackhold on and never let go.
Ernest, energetic, and scrappy, Law faces his problems head-on. While he is generally friendly toward new people, he can be slow to open up and often downplays his problems, feelings, and inner thoughts even around his friends. He takes his training very seriously and spends hours honing his mind and body through meditation and exercise. Strength is important to him, and almost everything he thinks is a good time involves being physical, sweaty, and dirty.
Despite the difficulties of his past, he's a relatively straightforward and simple-minded person, preferring to keep things uncomplicated. He can sometimes put his foot in his mouth and isn't always tactful, but generally tries to do right by others. Law has a knack for caring for animals and seems to be able to understand them and their needs easily, making him very popular with them. He has yet to figure out people that way just yet, though.

appearance
Somewhat short, wiry-muscled, but with a lot of muscle definition particularly in the arms and stomach. Often opts for dark colors paired with pale ones or vice-versa, but isn't particular about how he dresses (like a fighter monk, basically). Wears a silver wolf pauldron on his shoulder and often a big pair of gauntlets. The grooves in the soles of his shoes form a wolf paw, ao he leaves pawprints wherever he goes. The pink streaks in his hair are dyed. Although somewhat pale after living in an eternally dark city for several years, he does well in the sun and tends toward more of a tan skin color.

background
Law was born in Calaglia, a desolate desert wasteland under heavy oppression by the Renans, a powerful military force from another planet. His people, the Dahnans, are enslaved and oppressed, but his parents as well as immediate neighbors are all part of a resistance force known as the Crimson Crows; his father, Zephyr, is its leader. His birth is kept a secret from the Renans so that he won't be embedded with a Spirit Core—a vessel placed on every Dahnan by the Renans to siphon their astral energy. His parents train him to fight and foster a strong sense of justice.
Around ten years old, his mom gets sick while Zephyr is away, and she passes before Zephyr makes it back in time. Unable to cope, Zephyr pulls away and begins to neglect his son, which Law interprets as his father abandoning them, choosing the cause over his family. Not long later, Law runs away from home and winds up in the next realm over, Cyslodia, which turns out to be even more oppressive and controlled. There, he struggles to survive and experiences several traumatic events that result in the deaths of his friends before being drafted into the Civil Bureau of Investigation, also known as the Snake Eyes. Essentially a spy working under the Renans, he tries to make positive changes from the inside to absolutely no effect and remains an unwilling participant in the system until the party finds him there, Zephyr among them. Law attacks Zephyr on sight, still bitter about being abandoned, and Zephyr is brought into custody. Although Law attempts to save his father from being executed in a last-second change of heart, Zephyr is still killed during the struggle and dies before they can share any final words. Afterward, Law joins Alphen and the others on their journey to disestablish the establishment and resolves to atone for his past mistakes.
