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, to 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

### Stats

**Tier:** **5-B** with Super Automaton

**Powers:**

* **Superhuman Physical Characteristics**
* **Genius Intellect**
* **Eidetic Memory** (Capable of memorising the entire theory for his Völundr’s design)
* **Social Influencing** (Regarded as the 'Child of Light', Admired by all of humanity's greatest minds and inspired hope in all of humanity during his fight)
* **Immortality** (Type 1; As a soul in Valhalla, Tesla is unable to die through ageing, and remains in his peak condition during his lifetime)
* **Extreme Pain Tolerance** (Withstood multiple of Beelzebub’s deadly vibrations with a smile, as well as felt no visible pain from severing his own arm, or being stabbed through the heart)
* **Supernatural Willpower** (Continuously fought despite multiple severe injuries in his body and even severed his own arm to perform his Plasma Pulse Punch Cross, to which even Zeus was baffled by his determination)
* **Energy Manipulation** (Utilises the Valkyrie Gondul’s life energy in order to empower his attacks through his Volundr)
* **Electricity Manipulation**
* **Gravity Manipulation** (Within his Gematria Zone, Tesla’s suit is capable of activating anti-gravity)
	+ **Levitation** (His anti-gravity allows him to levitate within the Gematria Zone)
	+ **Statistics Amplification** (Can increase his speed as well as enhance his acceleration to reach his top speed in a single stride via anti-gravity)
* **Instantaneous Teleportation** (Via Tesla Warp)
* **Afterimage Creation**
* Limited **Weapon Creation**, **Fusionism** and **Soul Manipulation** (With Göndul, The human combatants fuse their being with the Valkyries into one, including their souls)

**Attack Potency:** **Planet level** with Super Automaton (Able to contend with and greatly injure Beelzebub, even without direct attacks)

**Speed:** At least **FTL** (Should be faster than Ares, who could still react to Zeus. Regarded as fast by Beelzebub), **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. Was capable of outspeeding Beelzebub and appearing as afterimages to him. Tesla Warp is capable of instantaneous teleportation)

**Lifting Strength:** **Unknown**

**Striking Strength:** **Planet Class**

**Durability:** **Planet level** (Able to withstand Beelzebub’s Vibrations as well as survive his 'Original Sin of the Netherworld' taboo technique)

**Stamina:** High (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:** Average human melee, Several metres within Gematria Zone (Creates a 9.63 x 9.63 electric cage filled with his ‘Super Tesla Particles’)

**Standard Equipment:**

* **Super Automaton:** Tesla’s Divine Weapon forged by 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.

**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. Invented alternating-current generators, radio equipment, fluorescent lighting, automatons, anti-gravity as well as Instantaneous movement)

**Weaknesses:** While using the Völundrr technique, 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
