[h1]The Angelarium[/h1] [u][b]The Hierarchy of Laguna[/b][/u] ((For better images, refer to [url=http://bayonetta.wikia.com/wiki/Angels_of_Paradiso]the official book[/url])) [hider=Third Sphere Angels] The weakest but most numerous of Heaven’s standing army. They are often encountered in squads, or as support for more competent warriors. [hider=Angels] Pitifully weak but many in number, even compared to other Third Spheres. They are mere fodder, and are not only looking down on by other angels, but are slaughtered readily if it means some sort of progress. [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/6/65/Affinity_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20151230034553]Affinity[/url] - Humans who are deemed worthy of entering the angelic hierarchy are made to kill themselves in ritualistic fashion. Then their souls become Affinities, further bolstering the forces of Paradiso. The religious articles they equip are all tools used to further their conviction to protect the righteous and can become powerful weapons used to strike down those with sullied hearts. Variation+: [url=http://www.the-nextlevel.com/media/360/bayonetta/bayonetta-enemy.jpg]Applaud[/url], which are larger, stronger, and much more durable. Their increased size gives them much farther reach than Affinities and by extension makes them more dangerous. [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/0/07/Cachet_%26_Compassion.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141208174257]Catchet and Compassion[/url] - Belonging to the lowest rank of angels, these two angels are said to have been sacred weapons brought to Paradiso after the heroes they traveled with came to the end of a long journey. Though weak and predictable, their blades are deadly if allowed to swarm. [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/c/c1/Dear_and_Decorations.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100124035458]Dear and Decorations[/url] - With limited spiritual powers, this angel is spotted comparatively frequently within the physical, human world. Dears, with their dignified faces, are surrounded by the countless childlike faces of their Decorations. Capriciously firing arrows, they are often mistaken for Cupid. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/f/f3/1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101015180538]Enchant[/url] - An Angel shaped like a cart wheel. The impetus behind this fateful form was the Creator's desire to craft an Angel designed to compel humanity to continue its struggle and feel no satisfaction at surpassing others. They roll to attack, and at high speeds are wreathed in flame. [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/4/4f/Acceptance_Render.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141208181602]Acceptance[/url] - Characterized as the symbol of death and acceptance, various legends tell of Acceptance solemnly placing the souls of the dead upon its back and carrying them away, ignoring their past deeds and any pleas for a second chance. They may wield lances, swords, or harplike bows. Variation+: [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/9/9f/Accolade.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/272?cb=20140615210610]Accolade[/url], Third Sphere commanders who can also use hammers, whips, and spears. [/hider] [hider=Archangels] The stronger grunts of the Third Sphere Angels. Members of this sphere usually appear in pairs or threes, and are frequently supported by six or more Affinities or other members of the Angel sub-rank. Compared to most higher ranks they are still quite weak however, and higher ranking Angels don't seem to regard them with very much importance. [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/0/09/WUPP_AQU_enmyA10-Fidelity_1_R_ad.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140905111845]Fidelity[/url] - Considered a creature of the sea due to its fish-like body and multiple tentacle-like arms, Fidelity departed from the ocean to impart humanity with their primeval memories. Those who forgot their past and begin to disrupt the serenity of life are often dragged by this angel to the darkest depths of the ocean. Energy blades manifest in their hands, and floating bombs dispense from their mouths. [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/4/4a/WUPP_AQU_enmyA09-Enrapture_1_R_ad.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140905111515]Enrapture[/url] - Though eighth in the angelic hierarchy, Enrapture was born many eons ago and is now considered the oldest angel to have ever existed. Given the task of leading humans to bliss by speaking directly to their spirits, it is said that the concept of faith did not exist until Enrapture's creation. They empower and embolden their allies.[/hider] [hider=Principalities] The strongest of the Third Sphere Angels, with some of them even being comparable to Second Sphere ranked Angels, members of the Principality sub-rank are the highest ranking members of the Third Sphere and seem to serve as specialized shock-troops. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/0/03/Ardor.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100124035248]Ardor[/url] - the highest ranking member of the Third Sphere, Ardor are christened with the rank of Principalities. Presiding over the protection of the masses from evil spirits, they are equipped with a shield and armor of proof. Wielding the power ofParadiso on those who encroach upon happiness, Ardor are recipients of much adoration from those seeking salvation. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/f/fd/Irenic.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100124035718]Irenic[/url] - Irenic is charged with spreading the message of Divine Will across Paradiso, and is most commonly depicted as a boxy form with four wheels capable of achieving great speeds. Faster than even the wind, it can cross Paradiso, thousands of times larger than the human world, in nary a single day. Only this and physical strength avail it. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/e/e9/Allegiance_Render.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141208175613]Allegiance[/url] - Allegiance belongs to the Principalities, ranked seventh in the angelic hierarchy and part of the Third Sphere. While Third Sphere Angels are the most common type encountered in the physical realm, Allegiance, clad in solid gold armor, appears only during times of strife between Paradiso and the human world, in order to purge the armies of evil spirits. They wield segmented flame swords that can burrow into the earth.[/hider][/hider] [hider=Second Sphere Angels] Appearing more rarely, Second Sphere Angels are powerful and can be dangerous to even those familiar to the three realities. They commonly appear with support from many Third Sphere angels, such as Affinity, but can also appear in pair or threes. [hider=Powers] Living up to their name, members of the Power sub-rank are hulking creatures that deal massive amounts of damage. Their attacks are wide-reaching and can cut a swath of destruction across the battlefield with ease. They are also physically durable. [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/a/af/Beloved.png/revision/latest?cb=20100106224634]Beloved[/url] - Beloved is a member of the Second Sphere class Powers, ranked sixth in the angelic hierarchy. Its status is more that of a spiritual being, but it is also burdened with destroying the enemies of Paradiso. Excelling in combat, Beloved are known for brilliant exploits in demonic battles. On their foreheads are single, yellow eyes; on their backs are sensitive red nodes at mid-spine. [url=http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/9/98/KinshipRender.png/revision/latest?cb=20150708005806]Kinship[/url] - Kinship, as one of the Second Sphere Powers charged with defeating evil beings, is responsible for transporting the forces of Paradiso onto the battlefield. Leading countless Angels to the front lines, catching sight of Kinship's magnificent flying appearance is analogous to many as the arrival of true happiness. They float in air or water, and employ missiles, a laser, and clawlike oars to attack. [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/a/ae/Belief_Render.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141209123142]Belief[/url] - their sturdy, dominating size makes them an ideal candidate for giving orders on the front lines during wars with the Inferno. The gigantic snakelike right arm of Beliefs has caused them to often be depicted in legends as hideous creatures, but in reality, this feature is meant to be a divine whip for binding evil with its unwavering faith. Their faces can open to reveal spiked, wormlike mouths to bite or spit sticky slime. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/6/6d/Worship_Render.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141208172752]Worship[/url] - Ranked sixth in the angelic hierarchy, Worship is a Second Sphere Power with the body of a giant warship. In contrast to Kinship, a Power used for transporting angelic armies across the battlefield, Worship uses the divine power of God to decimate his enemies. Worship's entrance into the fray is a sign that the battle is reaching its climax. They use energy blasts, Cherubim missiles, and laser attacks; an enemy who gets too close will discover the large, lunging jaws hiding behind each face.[/hider] [hider=Virtues] Extremely deadly, even in comparison to higher ranking angels, members of the Virtue sub-rank are fast, powerful, durable, and incredibly aggressive. They are regarded as some of the most difficult enemies that can be encountered. They usually appear paired with members of the Third Sphere, or in pairs, and are frequently underestimated. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/a/ab/Fairness.png/revision/latest?cb=20110921120519]Fairness[/url] - A Virtue charged with the administration of miracles, it is wrapped in flames when appearing in the physical world, a power emblematic of its courage. A torrent of flame blazing as bright as the sun, these flames become the light that burns away darkness from those who receive the graces of a Fairness. However, for those out of the angel's good graces, they are the fire and brimstone of destruction. [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/1/19/GRACEandGLORY.png/revision/latest?cb=20100106224233]Grace and Glory[/url] - Grace, draped in flame, and Glory, controller of lightning, are the twin escorts of the Creator. They share a wild disposition and are often depicted as gods of war, heroically leading the soldiers of Paradiso into battle, with their giant claw-like weapons being symbols of their ferocity. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/e/e0/Urbane_Render.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141208180759]Urbane[/url] - As a notably advanced being even compared to other angels, Urbane, a Virtue in the angelic hierarchy, is said to be shaped by the subconscious fears of humans. Urbane's power to reduce the triumphs of civilization to mere ashes with a single swing of his arm most likely reflects the subconscious fears man harbors toward both the natural world and their own society. Flame gushes forth from this slow but brutal giant.[/hider] [hider=Dominions] The highest ranking members of the Second Sphere. Like Virtues, members of this sub-rank are deadly and brutally powerful, though they are also the least frequently encountered of the Second Sphere Angels. Their attacks are varied, have incredible range, and are extremely fast. In comparison to their Virtue counterparts they are similarly durable, but generally deal much more damage per hit. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/5/56/Gravitas_Render.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20141208181012]Gravitas[/url] - A Dominion in the Second Sphere of angels. The name Gravitas means stern and severe, so this angel is often depicted as steep, uninhabited mountains forever frozen in ice. His extreme cold has been unpenetrated for eons, and it shows no change through the passage of time. Gravitas awaits silently for an opponent willing to sacrifice everything to face him. Winter gushes forth from this slow but brutal giant. [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/4/49/Harmony.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100124040721]Harmony[/url] - Within the Second Sphere Dominions, whose name imparts feelings of control, sovereignty, and governance, the angels named Harmony stand as a special symbol of peace. When appearing in our world, it is said that humans experience their presence as an auroraesque light. In packs of five or six they attack with electricity-infused strikes or orbs. [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/e/ef/Fearless-Bayonetta.png/revision/latest?cb=20121002015300]Fearless[/url] - Fearless are classified as Dominions, the fourth rank amongst the hierarchy of angels. Controlling the lightning feared by many as the instrument of divine justice, Fearless make known the majesty of God to the masses. Swift and ferocious, they are rather like dogs in temperament.

Standing at several stories high, it supplements its momentous stomps and swipes with sonic blasts and ear-shattering screeches that call forth swarms of demonic wasps from their nests within it to sting its foes.

Thought to be the twisted souls of ancient kings who abused their citizens, Gomorrahs deliver pulverizing bites or throw their substantial weight onto their prey.

Moving unlike anything its size, its deftness allows it to wrap around and constrict its prey in the blink of an eye.

In addition to calling forth unquenchable fire, they spin webs and hatch broodlings with infamous speed. [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/6/68/Bayo2Hydra-esqDemon.png/revision/latest?cb=20140615211005]Labolas, Destroyer of Fates[/url] - A beloved pet dog who had the bad luck to wander into hell, but the good luck and survival instincts to get through its harsh environment and grow into a force to be reckoned with. With the superb hunting abilities, it has even become known to some as a merciless butcher. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/f/f0/Baal1.png/revision/latest?cb=20141008144326]Baal, Empress of the Fathoms[/url] - Baal's enormous, wobbly body is too heavy for her to control, giving her a disadvantage in the heat of battle; however she possesses an endlessly extending tongue that can reach the far ends of the battlefield and swallow up opponents within an instant. [/hider] [hider=Tier 5 - Demon Lord] [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/5/5a/Hekatoncheir.png/revision/latest?cb=20141125082919]Hekatoncheir, Shatterer of Earth[/url] - A giant endowed with six fearsome arms capable of pulverizing mountains. Out of the infernal plane, only its arms appear. Lacking knowledge, but brimming with brutality, it is said that even the most powerful of conjurers should take heed of the danger this beast presents. [url=http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/9/9d/Hydra.png/revision/latest?cb=20150529022845]Hydra, Spinner of Destiny[/url] - A once beautiful maiden who was banished to hell for the sins of her younger sister and mutilated into a snakelike monster with seven heads. Her human heart has long since been lost, and she viciously attacks anything she deems an enemy. Those trapped by her seven heads must suffer slow, painful deaths. Out of her many heads, only one is real; slicing off any of the others will not amount to much more than a scratch. [url=http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/bayonetta/images/e/ea/Insidious4.png/revision/latest?cb=20141008032801]Insidious, Consumer of All[/url] - a giant manta ray-like monstrosity with a skull motif and a large eye on each of its 'wings'. Due to having a role as a demonic carrier and destructive force, it could be considered the Infernal counterpart of Kinship and Worship. It sails though the air with tremendous speed and powers and can perform numerous attacks. A myriad's of hell's creatures live within his guts, making him useful as an assault set during wars with Paradiso. If swallowed by Insidious, the only way to escape is to stand atop a tower of corpses and wait for him to open his jaw while he engorges with his next feeding. [/hider] [h1]Gilgamesh Database[/h1] Gilgamesh is unrelenting in its defense of humanity and humanity’s interests. To do this, it employs what amounts to a private army known as the Reclaimers, but as with any armed force there exists a cream of the crop. [hider=Operatives] [hider=Light Infantry] Primarily ranged fighters characterized by dependable though not overly damaged fire, the Light Infantry are among the more mundane of Gilgamesh’s operatives [url= http://pre13.deviantart.net/4682/th/pre/f/2014/251/d/9/sleepers_by_marko_djurdjevic-d7yfjg2.jpg]Silver[/url] – though not cold or outright dismissive, this agent epitomizes apathy and a lack of will, even coming across as dryly ditzy at times. Nevertheless, she is a formidable soldier, and with her special rifle punches holes in enemy defenses for her allies to exploit. Her pack contains a ‘mirror shield’ generator, capable of reflecting incoming attacks. [url= http://pre05.deviantart.net/e6ec/th/pre/i/2013/265/d/2/rebellion_recon_by_eyardt-d6newmg.jpg]Bullion[/url] – a former Demon Hunter who fought in blazing armor, only to be retired from the game for eight years after narrowly escaping death and leaving his fighting arm behind. In Gilgamesh he found new courage, and though possessed of a sardonic nature at times, quietly dedicates his all to the cause. His new left arm is a Devil Arm made from the soul of a bloodthirsty dictator who went to hell and returned as a demon. [url=http://pre03.deviantart.net/9222/th/pre/f/2014/084/a/6/a61b7e2268dfc62155b89eca25e5bcb2-d7blxqa.jpg]Lysander[/url] – an old soldier who’s subsumed his identity into the persona he’s created in her personal war against the forces of the Hierarchy of Laguna. For their duplicity involving human spirituality he despises them. His wields an automatic mag-rifle and carbon-fiber armor, while his visor functions to both cast light and shield from light when needed. [url=http://pre09.deviantart.net/8032/th/pre/f/2013/310/f/d/girl_0_by_zoonoid-d6t9ojt.jpg]Ophelia[/url] – a former Canadian police officer and the daughter of a demon hunter. When unnatural sickness struck her and demons attempted to use her to revive an ancient evil, Gilgamesh offered their aid, and after the ordeal was over she signed on in thanks. Her SMG puts out considerable damage at close range, and her cybernetic limbs are capable of injecting a paralyzing toxin. [url=http://orig08.deviantart.net/11b4/f/2012/291/3/5/inventor_by_duelisto-d5i5sxk.jpg]Fortunato[/url] – an engineer and a crackshot with a hand cannon. His technological harness, powered by an internal reactor, serves as an iron lung for him and thusly keeps him alive. It can also Though a heavy drinker, he manages a certain eloquence and manner that keep him highly esteemed among his cohorts. In a pinch, he can jettison his reactor’s waste as a makeshift toxic bomb. [/hider] [hider=Heavy Infantry] Large weapons and suitably large firepower at range are found in this class. Though not always as versatile or mobile as Light Infantry, each one packs a punch. [url= http://img03.deviantart.net/fc70/i/2015/236/2/b/btmo_2_by_zoonoid-d96y7tt.jpg]Babyfingers[/url] – a colossal man made even larger by his extensive cybernetic modification. Horace –his real name- is a pillar in the battlefield, extremely hard to topple but impossible to ignore. His weapon, Fimbulventr, spreads vast quantities of freezing liquid, and can also create blocks of ice to fire as hard projectiles. [url= http://pre00.deviantart.net/476e/th/pre/i/2013/259/f/9/bomber_by_niconoff-d6mmfoc.jpg]Lilija[/url] – a small Czech woman with huge firepower. Using angelic teleportation magic, her weapons system takes all sorts of special bombs from a storehouse near Gilgamesh HQ to imprint a firing code onto, launch, and detonate to great effect. One of the most humorous of all Gilgamesh operatives, Lilija is quick with a joke and has an eagle eye for puns. [url=http://pre07.deviantart.net/ab1e/th/pre/i/2012/034/5/4/20120203_by_ardenrey-d4ojgo2.jpg]Skylark[/url] - the Reclaimers' air commander. Though formally trained in the US airforce, this sharp-tongued motormouth is more likely to be found in her Tiltrotor Harness. With its turbines, she can hover in midair or fly at speed, and with its missile pods she can rain destruction on the battlefield. Its personal shielding system makes sure that no dime-a-dozen attack will faze her. [url=http://pre06.deviantart.net/dcd8/th/pre/i/2015/217/4/e/artillerist_by_jelux09-d949isd.jpg]Petard[/url] – the name of an ancient French bomb is a fitting name for this demolitions expert. For most of his childhood, Petard –or Pete, for short- maintained an unusual connection with the heavenly plane, yet to destroy the forces of hell he joined the Reclaimers. His augmentation is a self-contained magic forge, capable of churning out intense heart or bombs of molten slag. [url=http://pre03.deviantart.net/ddab/th/pre/i/2014/115/0/a/lancer_girl_pk_zeronis_by_zeronis-d7ed1pd.jpg]Marion[/url] – standing at 6’2” even without her armor, Marion rivals some of the titans of Gilgamesh in height. Despite this, she displays a rather sweet demeanor—unless her rage is unleashed, turning her into a frighteningly and brutal berserker. Her enormous weapon doubles as a gatling gun and a lance, but remains rather unwieldy. [/hider] [hider=Infiltrators] Quick and deadly but best in one-on-one encounters or duels, infiltrators are seldom seen on the front line [url= http://img12.deviantart.net/a360/i/2014/305/6/5/tentacule_by_deadslug-d84voft.jpg]Tickler[/url] – formerly a crippled Russian punk without a cause, Tickler fights with reckless abandon and manic drive, making less of a fight with her enemies and more of a slaughter. Her arms are, in fact, twin Devil Arms formed from a demonic cephalopod called Morbuzahk, and they hold power of pain—to make enemies suffer or to strengthen herself. She is very capable of violently passionate affections. [url=http://pre13.deviantart.net/2351/th/pre/i/2013/339/d/d/demonicyamabusi_by_afrocream-d6wwi88.jpg]Madamizuumi[/url] – an enigmatic warrior styling himself in appearance and fighting style after the ancient shinobi of Japan. His eerie visage and morbid mindset veer him into nigh-demonic territory at times, but in truth he is an ardent worshipper of the Creator. He fights with speed and precision, using ‘light bombs’ to dazzle and disorient the enemy. [url=http://pre02.deviantart.net/e13f/th/pre/f/2013/297/6/8/sanguine_by_ignusdei-d6rmi5f.jpg]Gloom, Bleeder of Jubilee[/url] – a demon and a defector from the underworld. While wandering on earth, he encountered several of Gilgamesh’s operatives, and was defeated and captured. After learning of his hatred for the underworld, the higher-ups authorized his experimental augmentation. Now part demon, part machine, and with a mind lambasted by conflicting ideas, he serves the corporation in the shadows as an assassin, armed with cruel blades and hemomancy. [url=http://pre04.deviantart.net/90d7/th/pre/i/2009/149/1/9/elystus_by_thedarkestseason.jpg]Enoch[/url] – a drifter from Nepal turned sniper for Gilgamesh following an episode involving the destruction of a temple by the Hierarchy to retrieve an angelic artifact. His weapon is actually a miniature and highly-efficient railgun, firing bullets at enough speed to punch through metal, which he can then detonate. The canisters on his belt are smoke bombs. His love for the dramatic leads him to theatricality and plethoras of one-liners. [url=http://pre03.deviantart.net/8672/th/pre/i/2014/021/2/a/the_doctor_by_inshoo1-d73741g.jpg]London[/url] – though more of a doctor than a soldier, London is an accomplished infiltrator, and highly skilled with knives both in hand and thrown. These knives are all magically-created copies of an Angel Arm, Brave, which she keeps in her belt with her other tools. It has no special effects aside from this, merely sporting an enhanced constitution. Whether at base performing research or surgery, or moving discreetly through enemy territory, London is impeccably calm. Among friends or enemies to taunt, however, she reveals a flirty side. [/hider] [hider=Skill Fighters] Melee fighters with middling attack power, middling agility, and middling defense. Unique skills often give their styles unique flair. [url= http://orig05.deviantart.net/d001/f/2012/125/5/2/shallow_tail_colours_by_pixelisedmind-d4yldyc.jpg]Argedko[/url] – a longtime Gilgamesh operative from Scotland. Generally cheery, she is a stickler for both stylish clothing and stylish fighting, citing flair as one of her main passions. Her partizan, Marowit, is a Devil Arm crafted from a creature of nightmares, and she can use it to make illusions just as well as to thrust, parry, and slash. [url=http://orig11.deviantart.net/ac1d/f/2013/303/c/a/harrian_by_serenity2200-d6sg833.jpg]Macbeth[/url] – though Gilgamesh’s primary purpose lies in humanity’s defense against heaven and hell, other sorts of agents occupy its ranks. Macbeth is soft-spoken, dexterous, sadistic, and trained to fight superpowered humans. To that end, he employs Deva, a pair of cursed Devil Arm blades with a gradual petrification effect, with which he is frighteningly lethal. [url=http://pre10.deviantart.net/5372/th/pre/f/2013/209/7/1/mfg_guard_by_ixtianart-d6fj413.jpg]Lenore[/url] – the newest warrior from a long, proud line of fighters, Lenore holds no compunctions about decimating her enemies with a smile on her face. She is courteous and attentive, sometimes creepily so, but there is nothing unusual about her proficiency with a flaming spear. Preferring to absorb damage and distract enemies, she fights with a defensive and extravagant style. [url=http://pre10.deviantart.net/f58c/th/pre/i/2012/296/4/4/random_character_17_by_benedictwallace-d5ioyif.jpg]Algernon[/url] – a nonbeliever in the ability of technology on its own to stand up to angelic and demonic might, Algernon wields an axe and javelins from ages long past, blessed with the spirit of an ancient hero. A life’s worth of experience with the supernatural makes it difficult to surprise or outsmart him, and despite his brusque attitude he enjoys sharing knowledge with others. [url=http://pre12.deviantart.net/d193/th/pre/f/2014/194/4/c/character_design_7_by_pavellkid-d7qgqmr.jpg]Estragon[/url] – a swordfighter wielding a blade of electricity. He is direct, intuitive, preoccupied with mundane things, and rather lazy, but when push comes to shove he displays a natural skill with his weapon and a capacity for taking charge of dubious situations. Overclocking his sabre can turn it into a lightning rod, capable of making chain-lightning attacks but draining power faster. He is, unfortunately, ineffective against large opponents. [/hider] [hider=Strength Fighters] Brute power and immense durability form the core of this class of soldiers. Their ability to dish out and take punishment is difficult to match. [url=http://pre03.deviantart.net/bc7d/th/pre/i/2015/300/7/e/the_sample_collector_by_amycornelson-d9en0jt.jpg]Jekyll[/url] – a Gilgamesh scientist born in Morocco, known for his morbid fascination for experimentation. He loves to study angels and demons at the biological level, and takes almost as much enjoyment out of tinkering in the lab as heading out into the field to acquire samples. Tanking punishment with his extremely resilient hazard suit, he brings a variety of toxic injections and poisonous gases to battle. [url= http://orig12.deviantart.net/08d8/f/2015/301/9/d/z1_900_by_bamuth-d9eqvas.jpg]Ell[/url] – as gorgeous as Ell is, the word ‘confident’ doesn’t appear in her vocabulary. While a viciously powerful warrior with her screaming Angel Arm Israfel, which distorts air into concussive sonic blasts and spread crushing vibrations through solid objects, she is extraordinarily timid, even around her allies. She does, however, attempt to socialize—only to expose her incredible social awkwardness. [url= http://img03.deviantart.net/64ff/i/2012/086/a/d/warrior_by_penett-d4u4cbw.jpg]Atlas[/url] – towering over most of his allies, Atlas boasts that he rivals a Nephilim in physical power. His claim is substantiated by his ivory armor, which enhances his own inherent toughness. As boisterous bruiser, this Norwedgian is the first to accept a challenge and the last to give up at his best, but hardheaded and unobservant at his worst. [url=http://orig00.deviantart.net/66d1/f/2015/028/d/3/ribbon_lolita_by_juuhanna-d65gjx0.jpg]Katherina[/url] – a brilliant mind and an elegant appearance belay Katherina’s true nature. She is loud, obnoxious, and highly critical of her allies, never giving them any credit and constantly demanding. An insecure coward at heart, she fights completely removed from the action using a [url=http://orig07.deviantart.net/bd1a/f/2013/080/5/d/steam_robot__regular_version_by_yuchenghong-d5yub15.jpg]Gladiator drone[/url] that she pilots remotely. Unrestrained, impersonal, hardy, and untiring, it allows her to get the job done and return to playing videogames. [url=http://pre11.deviantart.net/0a2b/th/pre/i/2013/156/d/f/the_old_bearded_knight_by_eyardt-d67xp91.jpg]Tybalt[/url] – a board, heavy-set man from the American south and a steadfast defender. Wielding twin greatshields crafted from the souls of a fallen Grace & Glory pair, which are capable of locking together for maximum defense. He is self-sacrificing and self-effacing to the point of being morose and worried all the time, but few are more dependable comrades in battle than he. [/hider] [hider=Warlocks] Soldiers whose sorcery-derived talents land them variable position and strategy, some not suited to normal combat. [url=http://orig05.deviantart.net/2ced/f/2014/349/3/a/pathfinder__midranged_ranged_combat_by_twodd-d89zwdw.jpg]Moto[/url] – serious and respectful in combat, Moto wields an Angel arm called Simikiel. This chakram is capable of creating numerous identical copies of itself, all of which fly farther and faster than thrown, and can return to Moto when he wishes. His amulet is charged with power as he deals or takes damage, and when fully charged endows Moto with an aura of protective light that heals him and allies constantly. [url= http://pre09.deviantart.net/989d/th/pre/f/2012/083/e/6/wizard_by_muju-d4tszv9.jpg]Aguila[/url] – not many who dabble in the demonic arts are able to crawl back from the abyss, but Aguila did, and despite finding himself faced with distrust he chose to fight for humanity in the Reclaimers. The Devil Arm he wields, a staff called Gilead, did not come from Regalia, Gilgamesh’s arms manufacturer, but it wields the power to conjure flame and form it into the shapes of monsters to battle on Aguila’s behalf. He treats life somewhat flippantly, and never turns down a chance to annoy someone. [url=http://orig01.deviantart.net/6e97/f/2015/334/d/7/magician_by_tahra-d9ijny6.jpg]Viola[/url] – though embroiled in an attempt to revive the Umbran Order for a time, Viola eventually abandoned the reformed clan to join Gilgamesh for personal reasons, but she did not leave her sorcery behind. Like most witches, she is capable of extending her hair, but in her case she uses it solely to form giant hands or lances to attack with. Otherwise, she creates magic runes with all sorts of effects. [url=http://orig13.deviantart.net/e4dd/f/2014/262/e/2/retribution_of_the_ancients_by_velinov-d7zpj43.jpg]Hector[/url] – hailing from Spain, Hector served for most of his life as a Catholic priest, but found his life changed forever by an encounter with an angel of the Army of Light. He went on to study the supernatural, but arrived at the conclusion that humanity, made in the image of God, could not fall into oblivion under the cruelty of both hell and the Hierarchy of Laguna. Using magic he controls sand freely, using it to attack or creating constructs to fight for him. [url=http://orig12.deviantart.net/15f4/f/2014/070/a/c/tactical_mage_by_niw-d79vdu1.jpg]Prospero[/url] – the so-called ‘modern mage’ commands a unique blend of technology and sorcery. Inventive and curious, he constantly strives to solve things more quickly and efficiently. On the battlefield, his hexes create and alter plantlife, and he displays a proficient telekinesis. By no means a physically imposing individual, he prefers to support his allies and hinder allies from afar. Known to stutter.[/hider][/hider] [hider=Elite Operatives] [url= http://pre10.deviantart.net/4336/th/pre/i/2011/137/4/5/mech_girl_by_progv-d3gkljp.jpg]Phantom[/url] – a public face of Gilgamesh and one of its most-feared combatants. Styling herself after a vengeful spirit, she employs top-of-the-line cybernetic augmentations to fight faster and stronger than any human, to move in ways unimagined, and to vanish without a trace. [url= http://pre01.deviantart.net/d5f8/th/pre/i/2014/216/f/9/power_armor_by_progv-d7tnew7.jpg]Yousai[/url] – not much is known about this hulking metal monster. It only seems to appear on the battlefield, an impregnable fortress of titanium armed with twin mortars and a sniper rifle better classified as a railgun. Rumor tells, however, of an old Japanese soldier and his young granddaughter who pilot the immense mech together, one as pilot and the other as gunner. The same rumors tell that both are skilled warriors in their own right, and that if some unnamable abomination were to crack this walking fortress, its achievement would be only the beginning of the battle. [url= http://pre11.deviantart.net/1450/th/pre/i/2011/158/2/b/anarkia_02_by_dinmoney-d3i97m7.jpg]Durandal[/url] – one of Gilgamesh’s heroes, though at first glance he doesn’t seem the part. As a teenager, he was abducted by a sadistic demon corrupter that attempted to make him into a weapon. The demon succeeded only enough to make blades sprout from his skin, for those very blades proved his end. He found refuge at Gilgamesh, and for exceptional courage during an important mission was given the soul of the horned demon Umbrage, Venter of Frustration, forged into the shape of a massive lance. Wielding its inimitable penetrating power in addition to his own strength, Durandal labors to reduce anything that stands in the way of humanity’s ascension to a eviscerated pulp. [/hider] [h3]The Charred Citadel[/h3] The base of the Firebrands, the agents of the Charred Council. It has numerous facilities, positions, and more to be explored, utilized, and upgraded.
