Age

Origin
Basil
Leader of the First Knighthood of Basil, he serves under his longtime friend King Albert. Lavitz had wanted to become a knight to protect the country of Serdio ever since he was little, and now he is fighting on the side of the Duchy of Basil in the Serdian Civil War. Lavitz's hope for peace for his country's people is that Basil will prevail against Imperial Sandora, led by Albert's ruthless uncle, Emperor Doel. Sensing a kindred spirit as well as a timely swordarm, Lavitz then joins Dart during Lavitz' escape from Hellena Prison. Lavitz is a selfless, loyal, kind, and chivalrous man. He puts others before himself, as when he gives his life to protect Albert. He puts charity before obedience, when he offers civilians of enemy Sandora food and lodging. He puts candid aid to a friend above merely appeasing them, as when he advises Dart to take his relationship with Shana more seriously. He also loves his mother very much, shown as how excited he is to be home and to introduce her to his new friends, then in going back to gratefully accept her offered jerky.
The Legend of Dragoon
The Legend of Dragoon uses a turn-based style of gameplay with a quick time event-like mechanic called "additions". When the "attack" option is selected from the battle menu, two blue squares will appear on the screen and start to converge. If the player times the button press at the right time, they can continue the addition and do more damage. Characters will receive multiple additions over the course of the game, which have a longer chain and deal more damage. The longer additions, however, allow enemies the opportunity to counter. When they do, the player needs to time a different button press to continue their attack. All the party members eventually gain access to their titular "Dragoon" forms. While in Dragoon form, the characters materialize armor and wings and gain a boost in attack power as well as access to alternate attacks. Dragoon form is only usable for a limited number of turns and must recharge to be used again.
