[hider=Emperor-General Wilhelm] [center][b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/894704244257595402/998288273724166194/unknown.png[/img] 6’2”[/center] [b]Name:[/b] “Emperor-General Wilhelm” [b]Age:[/b] Unclear, possibly 60-70. [b]Nationality:[/b] Unclear. [b]Noble Arm Name & Appearance:[/b] Time Of Change, or more commonly called Change, is a Noble Arm resembling a crimson red sword, paired with a sheath. Said sheath hooks onto Wilhelm’s belt. The sword itself has an overly ornate handguard and pommel design complete with gold inlays, more closely resembling a sword meant for ceremonies than a weapon of war. [b]Noble Arm Rank:[/b] A [b]Noble Arm Type, Element, and Range:[/b] Multipurpose, Change/Destruction, Close-Medium-Long. [b]Noble Arm Abilities:[/b] Emperor’s Lance - A series of red lances that appears over Wilhelm’s shoulder, a maximum of 8 can appear at a time. When a lance is launched, it guides itself towards anything within vision of Wilhelm’s choosing, with a maximum speed of Mach 4.6 and a range of 10 nautical miles, leaving a ghostly red trail to Wilhelm’s location. Upon contact, the lance will violently explode, capable of destroying the toughest of tanks in a single hit and tearing a ship’s hull open. When lances are used, they will replenish over time, one every 15 seconds. Alternatively, he can fire off one massive lance, resulting in an incredibly massive and destructive explosion wherever it hits. If a lance is deflected, it proceeds to immediately explode, wherever it is. Royal Guard - When Change is drawn from its sheath, Royal Guard automatically activates. If willed, Change is able to cut through almost anything, including Noble Arms, with some effort. Change can also extend its cutting abilities beyond the tip of the blade, allowing it to slice through something 20 meters long in one strike. The effect of this means melee combat is practically guaranteed to result in the death of Wilhelm’s opponent. Engagement is not recommended. Empire’s Shield - A defensive barrier that surrounds Wilhelm, capable of withstanding the firepower of an entire fleet attacking him at once. This barrier creates a red and gold translucent sphere around Wilhelm, indicating when it’s active. This barrier can be dispelled at will, plus shows heavy resistance against attacks from other Noble Arms. Emperor’s Wrath - Arguably Wilhelm’s strongest attack, he can use Change to manipulate the ground and water itself. He can lift pillars of dirt and rock into the air, sink massive areas of ground, generate tsunamis and earthquakes, and even collapse cities. Anywhere he uses this ability will result in its landscape being permanently changed. If this attack is focused on someone, he can use it to surround them in rock, then pull them into the ground and crush them to death. When used on a wide scale, this power quickly drains Change’s energy. Empire’s Cloak - An interesting ability. When active, Wilhelm appears to disappear and cannot be tracked by almost all means. When in this state, Wilhelm cannot leave it unless he appears nearby a location of mass hatred, such as a city-large riot, or conflict, such as a war. Even then, he can choose not to leave it. Such an ability results in him being incredibly hard to contain and able to traverse the globe alone, meaning he can appear anywhere at any time, so long as conditions are met. It appears Wilhelm still experiences aging in this state, with it also appearing that the majority of Wilhelm’s existence has been in this state. [b]Misc Abilities:[/b] In the time Wilhelm has been spotted, he has shown interesting attributes. He’s shown to be a powerful commander, smart, and full of motivational speeches. His other abilities remain unclear, due to how little people have contact with him. Another thing known about Wilhelm is his fluency in several languages, mostly European languages. [b]Personality:[/b] Wilhelm, when seen, shows an incredibly calm demeanor, even when in battle. He appears to treat his “allies” with respect, even if they show no respect towards him in return. He also shows respect towards his enemies, frequently lamenting about how if neither side engaged in war, soldiers like Wilhelm would not be needed. [b]Fears:[/b] It’s not clear what Wilhelm fears, but studying his actions leads researchers to believe he fears losing, alongside gaining enemies outside his current battle. [b]Bio:[/b] [hider=Interview] [code] INIT >>> INFORMATION IS CLASSIFIED, USA MILITARY DECREE >>> LOADING RECORDING.....DONE >>> LOADING METADATA......DONE >>> INTERVIEW BETWEEN COMMANDER JAMES SICARIO AND RESEARCHER ADAM WILLIAMS[/code] JS: [Ruffling of papers, movement of a chair.] JS: So, what do we know about this guy, this mysterious fucking A rank no one can keep within their borders. AW: Oh, right, Emperor-General Wilhelm. JS: [i]That’s[/i] what he calls himself? He doesn’t lead shit. AW: Yes, indeed, that’s his self proclaimed title. What we do know is that he constantly portrays himself as a leader of a massive empire, even though said empire doesn’t exist. JS: Well, why does he think he leads an empire? AW: That’s the uh, interesting part. We’re not completely sure, but we believe that is an effect of Wilhelm’s Noble Arm. Alongside adjusting his appearance, which we cannot find such a record of a person like him existing in our allied countries, changed him to believe he’s an ever important leader. Before you ask, we also think his Noble Arm is responsible for sustaining his existence, keeping his body... Incredibly healthy. JS: What’s the leading theory on where he comes from? If we figure out where he’s from, we could give those governments more information. AW: Recordings of his speeches indicate he has a pretty heavy German accent, alongside that, Wilhelm is a polyglot. He’s been observed to speak French, English, German, Swedish, and potentially even more languages, so we think he comes from Europe. JS: Has the German government come up with interesting details about this guy? AW: Unfortunately, no, their investigation hasn't been completed. What they have shared isn’t too conducive to uh, our goal of finding out who he was. JS: You also mentioned that your team thinks his Noble Arm changed his mind, to make him believe he’s an Emperor-General. Do you think that effect could be spread to other people? AW: If it can, Wilhelm hasn’t demonstrated it at all, even in situations where it would be beneficial for him to uh, indoctrinate others to his will, so we think it’s isolated to only him. Despite all that, he appears to be sane, so he isn’t exactly crazy. Just delusional, it appears. JS: We’re dealing with a delusional egomaniac, do you think this would look good if the public found out? AW: N-no, sir, that’s why you tasked us to this goal, isn’t it? JS: So, how do we contain this guy? A rogue A rank is no laughing matter, it’s fucking good the public don’t know much about this guy. AW: That’s the thing... We’re not sure we can kee- JS: [Increasingly frustrated] You CANNOT?! This guy represents a massive risk to national security for basically everyone! AW: Y-Yes... I know how it sounds, but we think he keeps himself in check. He’s only been spotted near conflicts, so it’s incredibly unlikely he’s just gonna run around blowing up cities. JS: Riight. Hope is not a scalable strategy, Williams. AW: I know, I know. We think with the rising tensions between China and most ASEAN countries, he’s going to show up in that region sometime soon. We think we can try out a strategy there, assuming ASEAN accepts our plan once ready... JS: Which is? AW: We need an Arms Master with the capability to severely weaken his powers, then we can bring him into custody and inhibit his powers even further, but I’m not sure we have an Arms Master capable of this feat. JS: Sounds reasonable, send the plan over, I’ll find teams up to the task. AW: It’s not complete yet but... It should be, very soon. [code] END >>> WAR BETWEEN CHINA AND ASEAN COUNTRIES HAS BROKEN OUT >>> PLAN HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED IN TIME >>> WILHELM REMAINS A ROGUE ASSET >>> ASEAN HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PLAN TO CONTAIN WILHELM [/code] [/hider] [b]Military or Civilian Rank:[/b] N/A, self proclaimed Emperor-General.
