[Here we have one huge anthropomorphic rooster with a steel beak, steel chest plating over his neat suit and a helmet with his comb sticking out the top. He's also holding a lance. He's got a very heroic Essence.]
1. Essence Tales (Index)
[Alright, so Steelbeak knows he's got the essence of Don Quixote. Trouble is, he does not really know what that means. There's some vague shreds of information in the back of his head- something about Quixote being a valiant, chivalrous knight who always saves everyone in need and who's fought giants, enchanters, things like that. Saving people is not at all his thing, but fighting? That, he can do. And being fully devoted to a cause, he can definitely sympathize with.
He needs the details, which means he needs to visit one of his least favorite places in any world: the library. (brrr.) He's sitting at one of the tables, the book of Don Quixote in one hand, vocalizing his outrage as he reads.]
Hey! This can't be right! What kinda hack wrote this? “His wits quite gone”? “Madman”?! [Silence? In a library? Never! He's smacking a fist down on the table.] That's making it sound like he was crazy! Or st- … Stupid...!
2. Essence Practice (Index)
[There's a very idle, drifting notion in Steelbeak's mind that having Don Quixote's essence means he can do magic now. Which is weird, because magic is the sort of thing that very few people could do in his own world and he was definitely not one of those people. Still, he's convinced Don Quixote was a totally knowledgeable, totally competent healer and that means he must be too. He just needs to test it. Which means he needs a guinea pig.
Now he's wandering the streets of the Index, stopping anyone he spots in their tracks.]
You! Yeah, you! Are you hurt? Do you need some healing magic? [Alas, that resident he grabbed by the arm is not in need of his services.] No? Well, what if I punch ya real quick? I just gotta try-
[Wow that person sure can run all of a sudden. Time to try someone else, like your character. (Beware, he does have magic, but it doesn't heal. It just makes a character sick(er).)]
Hey, how 'bout you?
3. Versus the Giant
[Now this? This is clearly what he was put in this world to do! Watch out, fearsome giant! Don Quixote- Don Steelxote-- 'Jack' is here to bring this story to a conclusion. Talking? Sneaking? None of that is considered as an option. The way Steelbeak sees it, there's only one way to settle the confrontation and that is to fight. He draws his lance and points it directly up at the giant's face.]
Hey tiny! You're done for! [A second's hesitation, then he realizes that wasn't at all how a chivalrous hero talks. So he lowers his voice and tries again, this time with more of a dramatic flair.] I mean... Fly not, foul being, for a single knight attacks you! Though you flourish more arms than the giant Briareus, ya have to reckon with me!
