Axl Low

==Summary==
Axl Low (アクセル=ロウ, Akuseru Rō) is a character in the Guilty Gear series. He is a time traveler of British descent. He comes from the 20th century, over one hundred and fifty years before most of the Guilty Gear storyline. His main goal is to return to his own time period, mainly because of his desire to return to his girlfriend, Megumi. In the present, he sought a way to return, but his strong sense of justice and respect for human life lead him to be caught up in various world conflicts. Eventually, he met I-No, another "time slipper". They discovered that an error within the Backyard, an alternate dimension that controls magic by manipulating information, had caused Axl to change places with her former boyfriend Will from the timeline they were currently in. When I-No was destroyed by Sol Badguy after attempting to ascend to godhood, she used the last of her power to bring Megumi forward in time, leaving Axl at peace.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Time Manipulation: Axl possesses the unique ability to transport to different periods of time, including alternate timelines, seemingly through his own subconscious will. While he previously lacked the ability to properly control this power, as of STRIVE, he has mastered it, discovering that the level of power he currently possesses can alter the very state of this world as he sees fit, though it is primarily based in the flow of time itself. This ability also grants Axl eternal life.

* Thunder Shadow Chain: Axl leaps over the opponent's head and throws his kusarigama at the back of their head.

* Winter Mantis: Axl snags the opponent on his sickle, then does a lariat while drawing them back in.
* Rainwater: Axl leaps backwards into the air while slinging a sickle diagonally downward.
* Sickle Flash: Axl's signature technique. He throws one sickle forward a long distance.
** Soaring Chain Strike: Follow-up to Sickle Flash. Axl pulls the chain back in through the air.
** Spinning Chain Strike: Follow-up to Sickle Flash. Axl pulls the chain back and spins one sickle in front of himself.
** Winter Cherry: Follow-up to Sickle Flash. Axl detonates an explosion at the sickle's location and pulls it back in.
Overdrives:
* Sickle Storm: Axl whirls both chains around himself in a storm of fire before letting one fly forward, surrounded by flames.

Instant Kill:
* Amphora Conflagration: Axl conjures a multitude of chains, wrapping the opponent in them before detonating a large explosion with a snap of his fingers.
