==Fighter info==
PROTAGONIST
Info:
*Jumps: 2
*Weight: 105
*The Protagonist and Grimoire Weiss work together. Weiss follows the Protagonist, floating near him.
**Their ground and aerial normals are performed by the Protagonist using his Nameless Blade. Their pummel, forward throw, and down throw are also performed by him.
**Their Smash and Special attacks are performed using Weiss's Sealed Verses. Their grab, back throw, and up throw are also performed by Weiss.
*Special gimmick: They can charge their Smash and Specials and move while doing so, although their movement gets progressively slower the more they charge. Charging an attack gives it new properties.
*Like Sonic, the Protagonist struggles to swim, taking damage and always being in a panicked state.
My thought process:
*Everything is based on the improved version of Nier Replicant as that's the only version I played.
*I chose the Nameless Blade as his one and only weapon as I felt he had more than enough attacks with it for this moveset, and because I felt that giving him a weapon switch mechanic was too complex and isn't that much of a focus in his game.
*I wanted to include every single Sealed Verse in his moveset. Dark Wall is his Shield + Special as it felt more appropriate than having Back + Special.
*Mechanics I decided not to include:
**Weapon switching - I felt he had more than enough attacks with the Nameless Blade for this moveset, and I felt that giving him a weapon switch mechanic was too complex and isn't that much of a focus in his game.
**Magic bar - also didn't feel necessary.
**The Sealed Verses variants - in Nier Replicant, performing magic moves during combos, after evading or while in the air can alter the move substantially. I decided to not include this mechanic to keep things simple. The only exeption is Dark Lance which changes the angle from horizontal to diagonally if used in the air (note: double check to see if this acurate to NR). None of his magic moves that I chose as Specials change in Nier while performed in the air besides this one, hence why.

 	Dark Blast 	Shoots a magic projectile. The button can be hold to shoot multiple projectlies. The first projectlie deals more damage, therefore tapping the button can be used to deal more damage, this however doesn't charge the move. The projectiles deal no knockback.

 	Dark Whirlwind 	Summons a magic blade that spins horizontally around him, hitting enemies in front and benhind him. The move persists for a couple seconds and he can perform any move freely.

 	Dark Finisher 	He strikes forward, slashing opponents in an arc on top and in front of him. During it the Attack Gauge from Nier Replicant appears on the opponent and is broken. They are then sent into a cutscene where he summons a giant hand, punches them with it. Then Kainé strikes them with her swords before Emil shoots them with a magic beam.

==Costumes==
Anyone wants to help me with making renders for these? :D
In a perfect world, the Protagonist would have a his grown up appearance as well an alternate costume, being either his young attire or the Father version of the character. The young version of the character technically should have a smaller hitbox but I'm sure this could be ignored. Both the young Brother and the Father would need a different voice-over, like the characters which have male/female variants.
Assuming the Protagonist only has his main costume and seven alternate colors, here are my ideas:
#Default: The protagonist's apperance in Act 2 of NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139...
#Light Grey: The colors from the Young Protagonist's clothes.
#White and teal: The colors from Yonah's clothes.
#Light blue and white: The colors of Kanié's clothes and bandages.
#Dark green and dark yellow: The colors of Emil's clothes.
#Red and white: The colors of Devola & Popola's clothes.
#Black and gold: The colors of the King's clothes.
#Grey and red: The colors of the Shadowlord.

*Kirby's Copy Ability: Kirby gains the ability to use Dark Blast. Instead of Weiss shooting orbs, Kirby will shoot them using his mouth. Cosmetically, Kirby has the Protagonit's hair and red eyes.

==Trivia==
Spoiler free:
* Kirby's red eyes are a reference to the Red Eye Disease and Logic Virus from the Drakenguard/NieR series.
Contain spoilers:
* The character's real name is not Nier (ニーア), despite being called as such in the Japanese websites for NieR Replicant and NieR Gestalt, in Drakengard 3 and SINoALICE, as well as in the Nier novels.
** Following the release of NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... the character is simply called "the protagonist" (however he's still refered in the code and files as "nier").
** In NieR: Automata's DLC, his Act 2 clothes are titled "Destroyer Outfit" and he himself is refered to as "the man who destroyed the world". He is also refered as such in NieR Re[in]carnation (世界を滅ぼした男).
*** In NieR: Automata's DLC, his Act 1 clothes are titled "Young Man Outfit".
*** In NieR Re[in]carnation, his default costume (same from Act 2) is titled "Youth of the soul" (魂の青年).
