Alias

* Alias
* Syd

Alias (also known as Syd) is both a tritagonist and one of the antagonists of Gravity Rush.

## Background

Alias first appears when Syd enlists Kat's help to stop a sacred Gem from being stolen from the Master Criminal, Alias. After Syd's instructions to swap a Sacred Gem with a fake, Kat returns the real gem to their meeting place, only to have Syd transform into Alias who vanishes with the Gem. The real Syd then stumbles out of the bushes, dazed and confused about what transpired.

Alias reappears later with a plan to steal another sacred gem from the town of Endestria. Predicting this; Syd and the police force swapped the real Gem with another fake, putting the real one under heavy guard. Anticipating the trap, Alias tracked down the Gem's location and knocked out all the Elite guards. Upon arriving at the scene, Kat and Alias squared off. As a result Alias transforms into a dragon-like creature, which Kat dispatches with her special attack, separating Alias from the Nevi. Alias falls into a moving trash container and is crushed to death by a trash compactor.

After the events of Gravity Rush, Alias finally appears to Kat in person to give her message: to be the light that dispels the Darkness that's coming to destroy the world, and that it would only come true if she went to the Top of the Pillar to search for her past. After Kat discovered that she was Queen Alua in the ancient realm of Eto, she found Alias speaking to Xicero, Eto's chancellor. After hearing their conversation, Kat finds out Alias was one of Xicero's closest friends in Eto a century ago and that he was the only person who trusted the Queen before her disappearance. Xicero and Alias plan to get rid of King Cai for his questionable methods of governing, but he shortly appears with his Guardian Wolp, and in an attempt to save his friend, Alias puts himself in front of the beast, receiving the lethal blow, revealing that he was a machine all along.

After Kat nearly admits her defeat by the Destructive Force, Alias, finally revealing himself as none other than Syd, comes to her rescue by making the entire town of Vendecentre call out for her via singing "A Red Apple fell from the Sky" and using a special device to call out for Nevi reinforcements to attack the giant monster, giving Kat time to get to her feet and vanquish the bringer of Darkness once and for all.

## Powers, Techniques, and Equipment

### Powers

* **Master of Disguise:** “Disguised” himself as Syd just so he can trick Kat in stealing the sacred gem for him.
* **Teleportation**
* **Hacking:** Hacked into a Grigo and can hack into other Grigos while controlling one.
* **Illusion Creation:** Can make illusions to disguise the Nevis as himself.
* **Gravity Manipulation Resistance:** Can resist getting close to Kat’s shifter forms, which can shift objects' and people's gravity by being close to them.
* **Transformation:** Alias can transform his legs as part of a dragon-like Nevi. The Nevi’s weakpoints are protected by armor that resembles dragon-like head, can fire big deadly projectiles out of its mouth and can leap high in the air. Though once the weakpoints are taken out, it would leave Alias wide open to be taken out if the weakpoints don’t regenerate in time.

### Equipment

* **Handgun:** Without disguising himself as Alias, Syd holds a pistol that obviously shoots bullets and can destroy a propeller.
* **Bombs:** Bombs that Alias plants that lasts about two minutes before it explodes, though it can be defused.
* **Nevi Device:** A device that allows Syd in summoning and controlling any type of Nevis.
	+ **Are:** The basic Nevis, they run around and attack with a whip-like arm. Though in Gravity Rush 2, in which the arm changes into a whip-like tail
	+ **Jiu:** Resembling an octopus, it floats in the air and only shoots a projectile.
	+ **Fugare:** A frog-like Nevi that hops about and uses a whip to attack the enemy.
	+ **Lancan:** A Nevi that charges into the foe using a spear pointed at them. In Gravity Rush 2, its blade is replaced with an alligator mouth.
	+ **Defnete:** A mollusc-like Nevi with four legs, two arms and two cores, one of them being protected by a shell. In Gravity Rush 2, the arms are gone, instead shoots energy balls from the flower on the back, which can also whip its enemies and everything is armoured excluding the flower.
	+ **Mosui:** An insect-like Nevi that fly about and uses a blade in its rear.
	+ **Malloid:** A swordfish-like Nevi that deals great damage by charging with its twin blades but they can be blindsided.
	+ **Giacago:** A giant humanoid Nevi with one big arm compare to another. It can unleash a small blast in defence and stretch its smaller arm for a punch. Sometimes it is covered in shells for protection.
	+ **Eckiray:** An armoured Nevi that shoot large quantities of dark energy orbs that follow the opponent.
	+ **Kinoue:** An armoured Nevi rooted to the ground, shooting energy projectiles that follow the enemy. In Gravity Rush 2, it can control rocks with psychokinesis and uses it as offence and defence.
	+ **Lorets:** A very long giraffe Nevi with a large head and spindly limbs with the weakpoints on its back.
	+ **Shiga:** A shark-like humanoid Nevi that swims through the solid floor and jumps attack its foe, though it leaves them vulnerable.
	+ **Manago:** A Nevi that tottles all about, weakpoints protected with an armoured body and can reproduce Are type Nevis.
	+ **Minaye:** A sea urchin-like Nevi that quickly extend their spikes and impale, though once they’re done, they’re left vulnerable. In Gravity Rush 2, instead of spikes, it’s by a protective ribbon-like pattern.
	+ **Batoyue:** A massive Nevi that looks like a leafy seadragon. They move very slowly but they shoot a number of projectiles with a great number of weakpoints on the back.
	+ **Taion:** A levitating humanoid Nevi with two weakpoints on the side of its face. When both of them are destroyed, it takes a saucer form with the weakpoint hanging out underneath.
	+ **Cusuico:** A rare Nevi that takes an arachnid form with weakpoints located on the rear and back. This type possesses a person, corrupting and making them aggressive, the longer it takes to destroy the Nevi, the victim will no longer return to their original state.
	+ **Lagan:** A plant-like Nevi with branches that look like claws. Its bigger claw is the centre of the body and is protected by the smaller claws and Jiu type Nevis it produced.
	+ **Nushi:** A massive fish-like Nevi that has skin enough to be unharmed by Kat or Raven and stretch its tongue. It has a weakpoint that can be destroyed if it unleashes a beam with its mouth at the back of its head, though once destroy, it’s replaced with a tougher weakpoint that only needs to be destroyed with greater force. There are also invisible weakpoints on its back and once they’re gone, the armoured head is fractured and only one weakpoint is needed to be destroyed in order to kill it for good.

## Minor Feats

* As Syd, survived a self-destruct explosion.

### Skill/Intelligence

* Manipulated Kat into stealing Auldnoir’s sacred gem for him.

* Helped Kat in defeating the Destructive Force.

## Weaknesses
