Registered Ability
The Great Fitzgerald · 華麗なるフィッツジェラルド
Fitzgerald converts wealth into physical enhancement, effectively spending capital as power output. The registry file records few cleaner examples of economy becoming force.
Analytical Breakdown
The Great Fitzgerald converts wealth into raw physical power. The more money Fitzgerald spends, the stronger, faster, and more durable he becomes. At peak expenditure, his combat output rivals the strongest ability users in the Registry. The conversion is literal-bank accounts drain as his fists hit harder. The ability's ceiling is theoretically infinite, bounded only by his net worth. The Registry notes this is the only ability on file that can be defeated by bankruptcy.

Notable Works
The Great Gatsby, Tender Is the Night
Fitzgerald is one of the defining voices of the Jazz Age, writing with glitter, fatigue, ambition, and ruin in equal measure. His fiction often exposes the cost beneath spectacle.
The Great Fitzgerald turns the glamour and currency of Fitzgerald's literary world into a literal transaction engine. Wealth stops symbolizing power and simply becomes it.
Lore & Background
Leader of the Guild and a man driven by a single, devastating grief. Before wealth, Fitzgerald killed four people for money. After wealth, he lost his daughter to death and his wife Zelda to a delusion-she still believes their daughter is studying abroad. Fitzgerald invaded Yokohama and deployed the Guild's full military force for one reason: to find the Book and rewrite reality so his family is whole again. After his defeat, he rebuilt himself from nothing, working manual labor until he could fund a new operation. The Registry respects the scale of his obsession and fears his resilience.

The Narrative Hook
“He burned a fortune to punch harder because no amount of money could bring his daughter back. The Great Gatsby's tragedy is that he's still trying.”
Registry Note
The city distrusts any file that can write checks directly onto the battlefield.
