Current Characters: Issei Ryudo, Naesala, Peter Kirkland [Sealand], and Sherry Birkin
Character: Nessiah
Fandom: Yggdra Union
Character Notes:
History: Once upon a time, there was a war in heaven of the gods against the demons called Ragnarok. This war was going badly for the gods until they created angels with some portion of their power, called Grim Angels. One Grim Angel, Aries, refused to fight. The punishment for his crime of disobedience was that he was stripped of his wings and his power, made immortal, wrapped in the Chains of Conviction, and sent him down to earth.
While on earth, he made a bargain with a group called the Yumel, that they would teach him to master the Power of Words (whatever that does, probably makes Tactics Cards or zombies or something else Nessiah does) in exchange for one of his eyes. He put his other eye into the hilt of the Gran Centurio, a sword that absorbs power from all of the conflict on earth. Then he gave it to Fantasinia's royal family and told them "Justice lies with the Holy Sword." This would not end well.
A very long time later, during which Nessiah has probably been stirring up trouble, Blaze Union happens. Nessiah, who has been acting as a prophet deep in the woods, is recruited into Gram Blaze, a group seeking to remake Bronquia for the better. Nessiah helps them strategically in many battles, even managing to recruit a fiercely loyal general on the other side to their cause through clever tactics.
Oh, and when they actually succeed at taking over the country, Nessiah casually suggests to Gulcasa, the leader, that they take over more countries to spread their justice. Gulcasa, in a weakened state of mind due to having just Genocided one of his soldiers (on Nessiah's suggestion, again), agrees immediately.
Three years pass.
Yggdra Union happens. Bronquia invades Fantasinia and kills the king and queen. Embellia loses the Transmigram it needs to survive and starts attacking humans based on the advice of a wandering magician. A magician gives the heads of the two opposing houses of Verlaine powerful Ankhs and lets them duke it out for each other's.
All of this is Nessiah's fault, of course. During his actual appearances in the game, he kills his own Bronquian unit that had been meant to finish off the Rebel Army, then kills himself.
Then he shows up later to tell them to hurry up and save their damn princess before she's killed. Did I mention that you can't kill Nessiah permanently unless he's on Ancardia?
At the end of the game, Ancardia rises from the sea. When the heroes naturally investigate, Nessiah brings back their dead friend as a zombie to fight them, and when they win, demands the Holy Sword from them (since it's his) so he can wage war against the gods. He seems a little surprised when they refuse. They fight, the heroes win, Nessiah is permanently killed.
Nessiah | Yggdra Union [2/2]
Aside from being incredibly ruthless, he's somewhat irritating to talk to. He's very smug, tends to giggle, and always is very polite while still being that smug. He doesn't care about petty things like mortal danger, food, or most people.
Despite all that, he's got a lot of pain built up from the unjust nature of his punishment. (Even one of the people he brought back as a zombie feels bad for him.) And he does develop actual fondness for certain people - there's a fair amount of Ship Tease in Yggdra Unison, a noncanon side game, for Nessiah and Gulcasa. There may possibly still be some of that person who refused to fight so long ago in Nessiah, but he'll deny it to the end.
Other: As mentioned above, you can't kill Nessiah permanently except on Ancardia, which spends most of the series underneath the sea. He's also a very powerful magic user capable of summoning very powerful Astarte (technical term for undead warriors/zombies). Most of the time, he's limiting his power so that nobody's fallen angel alarms go off. I'm planning on taking him from before his introduction in Blaze Union.
Additional Links: I can't find the YU script and the BU script was translated by hand by a friend of mine who doesn't want it reposted. You can has character (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/YggdraUnion) pages (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/BlazeUnion)?
First Person (entry type): Hoh? This is quite an interesting book, and one I wasn't aware I had in my possession. If it's genuine, the magic used to operate it is something I've never seen before. Such things are becoming increasingly rare over the years.
...Well. It has been several weeks since I last had a visitor, so I should consider this a blessing. Boredom and I are well-acquainted, but I've never regarded it as a friend.
My name is Nessiah. At the moment, I am living in the heart of a forest, awaiting those who come to seek my council. I have a reputation as a prophet, you see.
Third Person: Of all the times that Nessiah had been killed, and there were many, many times over the hundreds of years he'd been alive, few of them were ones he considered particularly noteworthy. Some of them came from an error in judgment, others from an anomaly he could not have predicted.
Of all the times that Nessiah had been killed, there were some that were simply embarrassing to think about. Like the time that he'd traded insults with a knight known for his bloodlust, who had his entire unit behind him. That had been stupid. Nessiah maintained that he was drunk at the time, despite not remembering imbibing any alcohol, and would never do something like that in his proper state of mind.
Nothing else he ever was killed for was quite that embarrassing, so maybe he was right.
Nessiah cleared his thoughts. He had a visitor approaching, trudging slowly through the woods, and would need to be his usual mysterious self.
