===＞Background===
Nyarlathotep is a notable antagonist in Megami Ibunroku Persona, and the main antagonist of Persona 2: Innocent Sin and its sequel, Eternal Punishment. An archetype that represents The Shadow, and embodies the dark side of the Collective Unconscious, representing humanity's self destruction, and therefore the shared evils and sins of mankind. He believes that humans are destined to destroy themselves, as opposed to his counterpart, Philemon, the embodiment of creation and the virtues of humanity, who believes that humans will instead achieve a perfected state of harmonious enlightenment, and proposed that the two establish a bet to see which of their ideologies would prove victorious in the end. In order to spin things to his own favour, Nyarlathotep constantly plots and schemes to bring about the downfall of mankind and prove their folly, leading to the events of the Persona 2 duology itself.
==General Stats==

Attack Potency: Low Outerversal (In the Faceless God Form, Nyarlathotep should be above Yog Sothoth, who represents Kadath Mandala as a whole) Higher (Embodies the Archetype of The Shadow, representing the self-destruction of humanity, being the embodiment of the dark side of the unconscious, and warping the entire domain of monad)
Speed: Omnipresent normally (A natural resident of the Kadath, a realm of the dissolution of the "I". Existing in such a state is described as "someone who has transcended space-time, appearing infinitely and present in all times and places", "Omnipresent over time", can see and feel everything, "everywhere, at all times, and observe all possible worlds simultaneously", and "diffused everywhere, in all dimensions, and across all possibilities."), Immeasruable when assuming a form (Exists beyond the concept of dimensions and coordinates) | Omnipresent normally (Same reasoning), Immeasurable when assuming a form (Exists beyond the realm of the Akashic Records, a medium that contains all concepts that make up reality, including past present and future, even further existing beyond the providence which contains the factors of reality on a scale that exceeds the records, including the the factors of space and time)

Standard Equipment: The Spear of Destiny: A legendary lance said to have once belonged to Saint Longinus, an alleged Roman soldier who, during the site of Jesus' crucifixion, sought to confirm the Son of God's death by piercing his side, creating a wound that spilled blood endlessly, never to be healed, and which later came to be known as the fifth and final of the Holy Wounds of Christ.
In truth, this story was entirely fabricated by Nyarlathotep, but as human thoughts and beliefs shaped and influenced the flow of reality, so did the Holy Lance itself come into being, with its mythical background causing human cognition to grace it with the ability to grant certain death to those pierced by it, creating wounds that take effect instantly and are incapable of being healed, either naturally or by magic. The spear is also able to seal off an individual's Persona, preventing them from utilizing their powers for an uncertain duration.
Intelligence: Nigh-Omniscient (Exists as half of the fundamental origin of all consciousness and awareness, providing the basis for humanity's ability to recognize their surroundings and put them into words.)
Weaknesses: None-Notable
