Nikola Tesla (Record of Ragnarok)

==Summary==
Nikola Tesla is a character in Record of Ragnarok, or Shuumatsu no Valkyrie, that acts as one of Humanity’s representatives in Ragnarok, the tournament between God and Man to decide whether Humanity should perish. He fights in the 8th Round against Beelzebub, The Lord of the Flies. Tesla was an extraordinary scientist during his lifetime, credited with many inventions still used in the modern world today. His admiration for science was inspired through his older brother Dane Tesla, who had been killed by lightning at the age of 12, whom he honoured by completing Dane’s design for an advanced windmill, and ever since set to further advance humanity’s understanding of the laws of physics.
He is based on the real life figure of Nikola Tesla

Regarded as fast by BeelzebubRecord of Ragnarok - Chapter 69), higher within Gematria Zone (Due to the anti-gravity triggered by the Gematria Zone, Tesla is able to move much faster, as well as reach his maximum speed with little to no acceleration.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 71 Was capable of outspeeding Beelzebub and appearing as afterimages to him.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 71 Tesla Warp is capable of instantaneous teleportationRecord of Ragnarok - Chapter 72)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: At least Mountain level
Durability: At least Mountain level (Able to withstand Beelzebub’s Vibrations as well as survive his 'Original Sin of the Netherworld' taboo techniqueRecord of Ragnarok - Chapter 74)
Stamina: Superhuman (Showed no signs of tiredness when developing his Völundr, while all of his other genius colleagues such as Albert Einstein and Marie Curie had passed out from exhaustion)
Range: Standard Melee Range; Several Meters within Gematria Zone (Creates a 9.63 x 9.63 electric cageRecord of Ragnarok - Chapter 71 filled with his ‘Super Tesla Particles’)
Standard Equipment: 
*Super Automaton β: Tesla’s Divine Weapon, forged by his Völundr with the Valkyrie Göndul. This weapon is a suit of armour, compiled of all of Tesla’s theory and design within his mind, and made up from Göndul’s ‘magic-wielder’ trait. Because of this, Tesla’s suit is capable of producing the power and materials necessary for his multitude of armor abilities, such as electrokinesis, anti-gravity, and teleportation.
*Super Tesla Particles: Special particles used and named by Tesla that are released and dispersed throughout Tesla’s electric attacks, such as the PPP. These particles react to the coils on Tesla’s Völundr, which allow Tesla to activate his anti-gravity capabilities and the Tesla Warp within his Gematria Zone. He is capable of expertly drawing a bead and keeping record of where these particles are in order to use them.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 72
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (Regarded as the smartest man in human history, able to mentally outlast all of the other genius humans throughout history. Able to memorise the entire physical and mathematical theory behind his Völundr which allowed for Gondul to create the Super Automaton β to Tesla’s exact design.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 66 Invented alternating-current generators, radio equipment, fluorescent lighting, automatons, anti-gravity as well as instantaneous movement)
Weaknesses: While using Völundr, Tesla will die if his suit, made up of the Valkyrie Göndul, is irreparably destroyed. Does not like to withhold scientific information and will explain in detail the lengths of his abilities if prompted. His Tesla Warp ability is only able to be used 3 times, and destroys one of the three coils on his armour each time he uses it. Tesla Warp requires 63 seconds in order to synchronise to the Super Tesla Particles and enable his teleportation. Tesla Warp is only able to be safely activated within Gematria Zone, otherwise it could drive Tesla to insanity or potentially kill him.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 72
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Plasma Pulse Punch (PPP): Using Gondul’s life energy, Tesla can produce a high voltage within his armor, store its power and then release it into a large burst from a punch. When this attack had landed on Beelzebub, it created a significant explosion and dealt heavy damage to him. It is unknown if this move utilises literal plasma. 
**Plasma Pulse Jet Punch (PPJP): A variant of the Plasma Pulse Punch, in which Tesla uses his left hand to propel himself forward using stored energy, closing the distance between him and his opponent before releasing a high-powered right hook.
**Plasma Pulse Punch Twin (PPPT): Tesla uses the stored energy from his suit and delivers a strike using both of his fists.
**Plasma Pulse Punch Surprise (PPPS): A variant of the Plasma Pulse Punch he can use within his Gematria Zone, Tesla leans back as his anti-gravity makes him spin around and store energy in an unpredictable motion. With this, he then leaps at his opponent with both of his hands together, to attack them with a surprise punch.
**Plasma Pulse Punch Moebius (PPP∞): Tesla releases an unrelenting barrage of stored-energy punches, releasing wild electricity. This attack was used to put pressure on Beelzebub’s vibration barrier. This barrage was regarded as fast by Sasaki Kojiro after his fight with Poseidon, as well as Okita Souji claiming he could not see any gap between the thrusts and pulls of his punches.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 76
**Plasma Pulse Punch Cross (PPPX): An impromptu gamble move performed by Tesla, in which Tesla severs his own arm, only to then teleport it behind his opponent. This creates a pincer attack with a PPP from his left hand, as both fists attract to one another through Super Tesla Particles, allowing Tesla to attack from both the front and back of his opponent.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 76 This move was even capable of surprising Hermes and Zeus, stating that it had exceeded the imagination of the Gods.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 77
*Gematria Zone (Prison of the Gods): An electric cage 9.63 x 9.63m in dimension, named after his brother’s lab, that Tesla generates when enough of his ‘Super Tesla Particles’ are present throughout the area. The coils on Tesla’s suit respond to these particles, which activates an anti-gravity system, allowing Tesla to float and levitate without weight, while also keeping his opponent subdued within the cage to limit their movement.
**Zero-Max Speed: Due to the anti-gravity within his suit, Tesla is capable of significantly reducing the need for acceleration in order to reach high speeds, and can instead reach his top speed in just a single stride and with minimal effort. The speed Tesla displays with this can even produce afterimages to Beelzebub.
**Tesla Steps: Using his anti-gravity and enhanced speed, Tesla is capable of moving in an unconventional and unpredictable manner, making it difficult for his opponents to land an attack on him.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 71
***Tesla Step Wonderful: Using his Tesla Steps even further, Tesla circles his opponent so fast that afterimages are capable of appearing, making him difficult to anticipate and dodge with upcoming attacks.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 71
**Tesla Warp: Regarded as Tesla’s ace-in-the-hole ability, which allows him to instantaneously teleport to a location where there is a high concentration of ‘Super Tesla Particles’, dispersed through his other abilities such as the PPP. Despite the effectiveness of the move, there are multiple restrictions and limits to this technique, being that it takes 63 seconds for his Völundr to synchronise with his the particles, it can only safely be attempted within the Gematria Zone and one Super Tesla Coil on his suit (which possesses 3 of these coils overall) is entirely used up once he has successfully teleported. This technique is what allowed him to effectively land a direct hit on Beelzebub, who could react and block all of his prior attempts at attacking him.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 72 If necessary, Tesla is also capable of selectively teleporting parts of his body, such as when he had used Tesla Warp on only his right fist to perform the PPPX.Record of Ragnarok - Chapter 77
