Gorou Shimizaki

“	He blows.	„
	~ Trivia describing Gorou's Epithet

Background

Gorou Shimizaki is the incompetent sheriff of Redwood Run. Gorou is laidback and friendly, always welcoming visitors to the town. Nonetheless, he is also awfully inept as a sheriff: he hands out guns to everyone without thinking about the potential consequences, he cannot spell, plays games while on duty, and makes no attempt to arrest any of the Banzai Blasters: even when they attack another police officer like Percy. Gorou didn't even realize that sheriffs are supposed to solve crimes. Gorou is overall a happy and harmless, yet forgetful bumbling buffoon.

Powers and Abilities

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Weapon Mastery (Carries firearms), Accelerated Development (Continuous use of one's epithet will cause it to grow stronger), Aura (All epithet users have an aura around them), Consumption (Type 1; Can eat screws and drink from pinecones to regain stamina and health), Limited Wind Manipulation (Not combat applicable. Can blow at least hard enough to knock a doughnut off a table, which would normally be difficult), Regeneration (High-Low. Characters regenerate after winning a battle. Giovannia could regenerate back his broken bones. Possibly Mid-Godly. Molly Blyndeff has an ability named "Hushabye" which dumbs down the opponent to nothing. She later got attacked by bears and when asked if she could erase the bears, she states that they would just come back after the fight. Since everyone instantly regenerates right after a fight in verse, the characters themselves should be able to come back from existence erasure), Immortality (Type 6; Mera's bones breaking were viewed as -1 damage this doesn't only apply to Mera as she broke Sylvie's ribs. It is stated by word of god that everyone in Epithet Erased functions under JRPG mechanics so even attacks that are greatly above them and should kill them can't, for example being shot in the head will not kill them, they are even described as "extremely hard to kill"), Restoration (After battles characters injuries, statuses, etcetera are normally undone, including acts such as de-aging a character, being reverted).

High Resistance to Pain (Characters in Epithet Erased are extremely hard to kill and can survive shots to the head along with taking attacks that break their bones without showing much harm from it), Age Manipulation (After a battle is over, affects such as Zora Salazar's ability to de-age a character, were reverted)
