[[folder:LARP]]
Regiment is a massive nerd, and as such he is also part of a {{LARP}}. Because it is very difficult for a character in this game to be KilledOffForReal, he has played the same character for years.
'''Kaius Felgor provides examples of:'''
* AntiMagic: Has several spells that are based on disrupting magic.
* BilingualBonus: His last name is a corruption of the Latin for "lightning".
* DarkIsNotEvil: Felgor's costumes include a lot of black and silver, but he's a good person.
* {{Familiar}}: The actual name of a spell, of the "source of the spellcaster's magic" sort. Felgor's only affects his ability to TurnUndead and regenerate.
* FromASingleCell: Sort of. His magic can heal limbs, even his own, and he will come back from the dead unless his body is completely obliterated... but only once a day.
* LawfulGood
* MagicalIncantation: All of his spells. The incantation consists of a few lines from an oath to [[CrystalDragonJesus Regiment]].
* NotSoStoic
* TheRedMage: Felgor can [[ShockAndAwe throw magic missiles and lightning bolts]], can [[TurnUndead ward off enchanted creatures]] and [[BarrierWarrior create impassable barriers]], can [[AntiMagic destroy enchanted objects]], [[TheRedMage cast every weak spell in existence]], and can [[BoringButPractical create magic lights]].
* ShockAndAwe: As a two-path Sorcerer, he has the spell "Lightning Bolt". It's also in his name; see BilingualBonus above.
* SpellBook: Naturally.
* SquishyWizard: Felgor has as many spells as a character can possibly have, but he can't wear armor or carry a decent weapon because of it.
* VancianMagic: The LARP's magic system.
