**Der Freischütz (F-01-69)** is a humanoid abnormality that wears a large cloak and grey clothing. The color palette of his cloak consists of a black, yellow, and blue. He has a black wispy form with no discernible features besides his eyes, head, arms, and legs. He carries a large gun, most likely a musket, with him.

## Ability

His ability triggers when his  Qliphoth Counter reaches 0 or by doing a  'Request/Commission.' His  Qliphoth Counter can fluctuate in the following ways:

* Decrease by 1 when an Agent with  Justice lower than Level 3 finishes work.
* Decrease by 1 when getting a  Normal or  Bad Work Result.

Unlike what his Managerial Guidelines say, Der Freischütz's  Qliphoth Counter has a 100% chance of lowering if the work result isn't  Good.

When Der Freischütz's  Qliphoth Counter reaches zero or you  Request/Commission the Abnormality for a shot, he will perform his ability.

Der Freischütz fires a powerful bullet that flies from the left of the screen to the right, according to the facility's rotation. It can pierce through any wall, Abnormality, or employee, dealing massive  Black Damage (80).

 Attachment work is replaced by  Request/Commission work. You don't need an agent to perform this work, and when you request the Abnormality for a shot, you get to aim where the bullet flies from, with time automatically stopped until it is shot, though the time can be resumed too during the process. Commissioning Der Freischütz costs 10% of your current  Energy. You cannot use the ability below  10 Energy.

If Der Freischütz is firing due to his  Qliphoth Counter reaching 0, he will simply aim at a random point on the screen. he will do the same thing after the 7th Request as well as decreasing his  Qliphoth Counter by 1.

## Origin

The origin of Der Freischütz is as follows:

"When a hunter received a gun with the bullets that will puncture anything he pleased from the Devil, the Devil proposed a childish contract: the last bullet would puncture the heart of his most beloved. The moment the hunter heard that, he sought down and shot all the people he loved. Telling the Devil, "This magical bullet can truly hit anyone just like you say." The final bullet (the 7th) then punctured his own heart. He traveled to numerous worlds, doing whatever he felt based on impulse. One day, the marksman realized the Devil no longer followed him. He pondered why, then realized that his soul had already fallen to Hell. The contract had been fulfilled, so the Devil had left. The marksman, now a devil himself, continues to pull the trigger to gather the souls of others."

How the abnormality was captured or arrived at the facility is unknown.

## Details

Der Freischütz responds to the four works in order of best to worst:  Repression,  Instinct and  Insight, and  Attachment ( Request/Commission).

Like all Abnormalities, his energy output is determined by the number of PE Boxes (Positive Enkephalin boxes) at the end of the interaction.

Der Freischütz's emotional state is divided into 3 sections:  Bad,  Normal, and  Good. Completing 0-6 E Boxes will cause him to feel  Distressed, completing 7-11 will cause him to feel  Normal, and 12-18 will make him  Happy. His cooldown timer after a task is around 10 seconds, and his  Qliphoth Counter is 3.

## Story

* "The Devil ultimately wished for despair."

* "For despair wears down the mind and drains one's will to go forward. When one feels there's nothing left to go for, their soul falls down to Hell, the Devil's domain. This is why the Devil finds it more entertaining to watch people fall to despair, rather than to simply kill them. We describe it as "selling one's soul to the Devil." "

* "When a marksman received a gun from the Devil, the Devil proposed a childish contract: The last bullet would puncture the head of his beloved. The moment he heard that, he sought and shot all the people he loved. Then he told the Devil, "This magical bullet can truly hit anyone just like you say."
* With the last bullet gone for good, the hunter traveled to numerous worlds. Sometimes he helped those in need or fought evil, but it was all done on impulse, not a gesture of goodwill or ideals. In one world, he was called a righteous hunter, while in another, he was a bloodstained gunman.."

* "One day, the marksman realized the Devil no longer followed him. He pondered why, then realized that his soul had already fallen to Hell from the beginning. The contract had already been fulfilled, so the Devil had left."

* "The marksman, now a devil himself, continues to pull the trigger to gather the souls of others. Just as the Devil said, the bullets will puncture anything you please. Forever."

## Flavour Text

* "Der Freischütz does not remember anything positive, such as the sparks of love or the joy of doing a good deed. He only reacts to dying things."
* "Long ago, Der Freischütz’s heart was pierced by the magic bullet, which always hits its mark."
* "As with all pacts made with the Devil, Der Freischütz’s request will not end peacefully."

## Trivia

* The name Der Freischütz is taken from the name of a German opera by the same name, which itself is based off the German tale "Freischütz".
	+ Der Freischütz is usually translated to "*The Marksman*" or *"The Freeshooter.*" (Source: Wikipedia)
* His E.G.O. Weapon "Magical Bullet" will perform a shot similar to the Abnormality's ability, and will deal damage to friendly units.
* This Abnormality is the first post-Legacy Abnormality to have a special effect.
