Loki: The Trickster

C rank B rank A rank S rank Looking back on it now, I just can't stop myself from laughing... The look on Alfonse's face when you summoned me... It tickled me so. In fact, they all looked so...crestfallen. But you and other Heroes you've gathered...you have welcomed me into your ranks. You trust me to fight side by side with you. What a fascinating little group you've gathered, <player>... I'm used to being judged for my appearance, but I am much more responsible that you might think. And now...you've given me an obligation to repay your trust in me. It helps that I'm enjoying it here, dear. I can't help myself! What a lovely world you've got! Thank you so very for summoning me. Hee-hee. Come now, dear... What's that look? Ah. You're wondering what's got me all aflutter... The situation in Askr—no, all the realms—is electrifying! The strongest Heroes are gathered here, and yet the fighting spreads. War has come! Chaos reigns! If your concentration were to break even for just a moment, destruction might loose itself upon us all... The future is totally unpredictable... Isn't it wonderful? Hee-hee! Oh, come now, my dear. Don't fret. You and I have the same objective. Your goal is to bring the fighting to and end. I will help you achieve your aim... I am completely and totally devoted to you. I am yours in mind and body... and don't you forget it! Hee-hee. If there were one request I could make of you, my dear... I'd love to fight the other Loki in this world...and fight her. I've always wanted to see what it would be like to fight myself... Hee-hee-hee. When you train, you're pitted against yourself. That's the cliché anyway. But it's hardly a life-or-death situation, is it? But here...here I can enjoy a battle against myself. Truly. Evenly matched, we can fight to the death. Doesn't that sound thrilling? Of course, I'd be victorious. That's because I have you on my side, <player>. Your dream is to see peace in this realm. That can never happen unless we defeat the other Loki... Who better to defeat myself than me? We will make your dream come true...together. This...this is what I have been searching for. Fight, after fight, after fight... None can say who will win or lose. And I get my marching orders from the adorable <player>! I am so grateful that you have summoned me, darling. I have been on a very, very long journey...and believe it was meant to end with us meeting. My body, my heart...they are yours now. Your will is my wish. What kind of world will you show me next? I can't wait to see! Hee-hee. {{{content5}}} {{{content6}}} {{{content7}}} {{{content8}}} {{{content9}}} {{{content10}}} {{{content11}}} {{{content12}}} {{{content13}}} {{{content14}}} {{{content15}}}

Aversa: Dark One

C rank B rank A rank S rank You know, there's just something about you, <player>. Your face is gentle—so gentle that, had I not seen you in battle, I am not sure that I could have envisaged it... But I have seen you standing there, steely eyed, issuing command after command... Your face is quite something. At times, it shows hard-won wisdom...and at others, childlike naïveté. What matters most to me, however, is that you have have placed your faith in me. In this world, I fight shoulder to shoulder with Heroes who were my bitter foes not so long ago... Yet you trust me. You do, don't you? Since I have arrived here, I have found myself growing more and more taken with you. I wonder where these feelings come from... Are they true feelings, from deep inside me? I do wonder... So you've picked up on the worry I'm feeling. You're even more perceptive that I had anticipated. But I'm doing just fine, Summoner. Every ounce of my effort is spent on aiding you, just as it should be. You never fail to notice the slightest change in me... Do you fear my inevitable betrayal so much that you must study every inch of my face at all times? I'm joking, of course. Your eyes are calm and trusting. I do thank you for your consideration. Were I preoccupied by something... I would be sure to come to you. In this world...you are the one I trust above all others. If you have the time...I would speak with you. You see...before I came to this world my memories were manipulated. I was controlled...and I did some truly dreadful things. I thought those false memories were true. I never expected to regain any sense of my former self... Even now, I am uneasy, thinking that the memories in my head were placed there by someone else. Since the moment I was summoned by you, I have found you perfectly enchanting. But are my feelings real? Or are they as false as my memories? What truly is real is your kindness... It's as though you're suffering right alongside me. Still... Even if I know you are a good person, even if I have no cause to doubt your sincerity... I can't forget what happened to me. Even now...I feel as if my anxiety is all that I can trust. If I caused you any worry before, rest assured that I am right now, <player>. I've realized something important. Though you summoned me, you have never once tried to control me. No matter what trouble we find ourselves in, your respect is unwavering. And whenever I have a problem, you always take the time to encourage me... I make my own decisions. My heart is mine alone. Because you are who you are, I have decided to lend you my strength. This decision, too, is mine. No one is forcing me to act. It is clear to me now—I wish to walk by your side and lend you my aid. Wherever you go, I will be there. That is my choice! {{{content5}}} {{{content6}}} {{{content7}}} {{{content8}}} {{{content9}}} {{{content10}}} {{{content11}}} {{{content12}}} {{{content13}}} {{{content14}}} {{{content15}}}

Owain: Chosen One

C rank B rank A rank S rank Emergency! This is an emergency! Sound the alarm! Light the signal fire! <player>! I need you! I was just out for a stroll when I spied a Hero identical to myself! What foul specter is responsible for this?! Huh? His name is...Odin? He has a face identical to my own. How could this be? Could it be... Could it be that I have discovered the shadow version of myself?! Don't tell me to settle down! I must— Uh... what? Oh, is that so? He and I have both been called forth by your divine weapon... I see. Tell me... Does a weapon for such power such as the Breidablik...bear a second name? It is only right for arms of such untold legend to be baptized with a name of power twice over! Surely you agree! Simply leave this task to none other than Owain Dark. No need to look so shocked and overjoyed! I insist upon doing your divine weapon this honor. This is my specialty, after all. This weapon shall receive a name truer than any name bestowed upon any weapon to date. Tremble in anticipation of my ultimate naming technique... Burning Lexicon of Nomenclature! There you are, <player>! I come bearing a second name for your legendary Breidablik! Merely uttering a name of such sheer greatness nearly caused me, it's very creator to faint in awe. Take special precautions, friend! You may mant to sit down for this. Behold... Superior in every imaginable way, the Heavenly Dominator Breidablik! Er... What is it? That look on your face... Ahe,, that was merely the warm-up name. This is the real name! The Slayer of Devils and Signal to the Gods, the Breaker of Peace and That Which Commands the Darkness! ... Yes, that whole thing is the name. Does it not echo within your very soul?! Then it's settled! No thanks necessary, friend. Other than naming the weapon itself, I would also recommend naming its special techniques. Perhaps witnessing some of my own will inspire you. Here I go! RADIANT...DAAAAAAWN! Hyah! Next, the blade of retaliation...SACRED...STOOOOOONES! Phew! My soul burns ever brighter after calling out such mighty attack names. Hey, <player>! ...Where are you going? I wasn't done... Hey, why do I fuss over names, you ask? Well, allow me to enlighten you on this most secret an sacred art. The sword that I wield... Its cutting edge is no better than any common steel blade lying around. However, upon being christened with a name, it becomes unique. Truly one of a kind. It becomes a chosen blade! In short, rushing into battle wielding a weapon with a name gets you blood pumping! You were chosen to wield the Breidablik in order to call upon Heroes of exceptional skill. Therefore, do you not think that your weapon deserves as many unique name as you can give it? Anyway, I just wanted to give a taste of the type of enhancements a named weapon can provide. However, I suppose every person is different... No two fate are alike. Twisting one's fate something else is a power not even I possess. So if you say that your weapon needs no additional names... Then I must respect that decision. What?! Can it really be so?! That such a legend should already exist... I must humbly beg your forgiveness! Had I known the Breidablik already had a hidden second name, I would have never been so presumtuous— Huh? If the taboo words are uttered even in passing, it would distort and warp space and time itself?! So that is why you could not accept my objectively awesome suggestion. Knowing this tale, it feels as though a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I should have expected nothing less from my master, the great summoner! Thank the heavens for overseeing this most fortuitous meeting! Hey, <player>... Strike an awesome pose with me! Let's go! I, Owain Dark, do hereby swear to lend you my strength, and to stand by your side as your legend unfolds! Anna: ...What in the... Alfonse: Um... I just... I had no idea the Breidablik had a legend of that...severity...behind it... Anna: I, um... Yeah.... Pretty sure that's just a load of— {{{content5}}} {{{content6}}} {{{content7}}} {{{content8}}} {{{content9}}} {{{content10}}} {{{content11}}} {{{content12}}} {{{content13}}} {{{content14}}} {{{content15}}}

Kliff: Curious Spirit

C rank B rank A rank S rank Oh, <player>... What brings you here? You're patrolling? You take your responsibilities awfully seriously don't you? Me? I'm people-watching. When I have nothing to do, this is where you'll find me. Look at all these different Heroes... They all come from different worlds and cultures. It's something, isn't it? Some of them even come from legends... Others are royalty. And me... What am I doing here? There is nowhere else you can find a gathering like this. Nobody in my world would believe me if I told them. And they've all been brought here because of you. It's outstanding. You're too modest, you know. Everybody here knows what you're capable of. And even with all of these Heroes you've gathered, you summoned me. I don't get it... Oh, don't take me too seriously. I'm just thinking out loud. You don't need to start worrying about me. I was raised in a tiny corner of nowhere called Ram Village. I guess you could say I'm just another yokel. I joined the Deliverance just to get out of there. It's only because of that decision that I found myself in the company of royalty. Destiny hasn't chosen me for anything. I'm not carrying a legendary blade. I don't have an appointed task. The blood of a hero of old certainly does not flow in my veins. I'm no different than anybody else in the world. So why am I here? I can't make sense of it. I know you've told me I shouldn't worry about it. Well, my reply is this—that's very easy for you to say. After all, you're one of the big shots around here. I'm sorry, but...people like me? Regular people? They'd laugh at anyone who'd say this is no big deal. I don't have a problem with you, but... This situation is a bit disheartening. Can't you see that? I think I figured out what was bothering me. The Heroes here treat me as an equal. Commoner or noble? That doesn't matter on the battlefield. Of course, there are exceptions, but... In general, they treat me no differently than anybody else. If social status isn't an issue, then...difference in ability becomes one. You might say I'm a fool to let that bother me. But saving another world? It's too big a task to contemplate. Why would something that huge fall to somebody like me? It's not like you get a choice about the Heroes you summon. You called it an opportunity. I'd call it chance. But if it is an opportunity...it would be a waste not to make the most of it, wouldn't it? So that means...I had better figure out what I need to do. It's past time that I understood what it means to be summoned here by you, <player>. Oh, hello there. I'm doing OK, I guess. Thanks for asking. Better than OK, you think? I guess you could say that, now that you mention it. I imagine you're still thinking about our conversation, about how I had better figure out why I'm here... It would be a waste if I didn't get anything out of this experience, so I've been pondering on how to do it. Like I said, there's nothing special about me. But I have an opportunity to study all of these Heroes... I can use the situation to my advantage and learn by observation day after day. Think about what these Heroes are capable of! I could really learn a lot. I have the ability to study. I can come to understand the world. I may be a regular person...but I have a future ahead of me. I have potential to grow. Even I could become worthy of being called a Hero. Maybe that's why you had your eyes on me... I was just joking, but you're awfully quick to agree. Hearing you it...well, it offers me a little hope. Just a little bit mind you. So even if I'm no king and I'm no legend...expect great things from me in the future. I maybe from a tiny village, but that just means my chance to become the strongest villager in the world! {{{content5}}} {{{content6}}} {{{content7}}} {{{content8}}} {{{content9}}} {{{content10}}} {{{content11}}} {{{content12}}} {{{content13}}} {{{content14}}} {{{content15}}}
