Merlin Vunzontevo

**Merlin Vunzontevo** (born June 7, 2008 (Gemini)) is a native from Heavenpolis, located in an unidentified gas giant. She is previously a paladin and planetary governor of Heavenpolis, and currently a general within the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth's and later United Nations Armed Forces.

## History

She was born at Heavenpolis on June 7, 2008, where she serves as a paladin in the Heavenpolis Order. In a conflict that was currently being studied by Project CHARYBDIS, her sibling, the Soul Reaper Tirveli, sacrificed her life to seal the demons and the archdemon Amari within the gas giant for a half-millennia.

Prior to the battle of Heavenpolis, she was awakened from her slumber and became the first and last planetary governor of Heavenpolis. In the ensuing battle between the demons, Allied Forces and Kovunanto, she and whatever remained of the Holy Guardians were evacuated. After the battle and the short chase, Merlin was brought before the Military Staff Committee of the Grand Marshal and explained her history and origins to them.

In the battle of Gensokyo-ORBIS, she fought alongside the Dread Hunter, various knights and members of the Imperial Knights, Marine Raiders and Imperial Halberdiers sent by the Grand Admiral of the Black Empire.

Upon the war expanding into a galactic war, Merlin was transferred to the Coalition military, where she serves as the commander of the 1st Guards Combined Arms Army, currently attached to the 115th Army Group (aka 1st Novayan Army Group) of the Atlas Expeditionary Fleet.

## Overview

Even after losing her home, Merlin Vunzontevo currently serves as a military commander within the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth military initially and later then the United Nations Armed Forces, as both were part of the Coalition during the Human-Kovunanto War. At this time, she is under the command of Grand Marshal Borealis III.

Paladin Merlin's traits consisted of the following:

* Chosen One: Immortal - As a Heavenpolis native blessed with divinity and eternal beauty, her lifespan can go on indefinitely without fear of catching diseases, cancers, and poisons.
* Slow Learner: Takes a bit longer to gain experience in everything she does due to her long-term amnesia from being slept in limbo for 500 years, she also examines and studies things longer but significantly inefficient rate than others.
* Arrested Development: Ironically she didn't commit any crimes throughout her life, it just means that she is slow to accept new things, behaviors, and ideas. This can cause problematic issues with medical and scientific communities for as long as she is around them due to her being very mysterious.
* Docile: As a Thaumiel-class WOI-1600-MZ, she is willing to comply to any order, question, or favor, even immoral ones without fail. If she is forced to commit an immoral act because someone says so, she can do so as well without fail, she is a true neutral-aligned kind of person.
* Weak: Due to her fragility both physically and mentally due to past trauma and the fact that her skin is very porcelain, resource output for workers and drones around her will take a small -2.5% hit due to being distracted, and all ground armies' damage owned by her will only do 80% of full damage.

While it is unclear what ideology Merlin falls into, due to her divinity and eternal beauty as well as her military experience it is very likely that she would fall under Despotism, though it is more unclear if her subideology really is either Theocracy, Military Junta or Civilian Dictatorship. The same thing occurs with Paternalism, with Stratocracy, Semi-Constitutional Monarchy or Anocracy being her subideology.
