Gaea

## ***Overview***

Gaea during Chapter 7 - The First Looper

Gaea (also known as The Genesis Architect) is a main character of Chapter 2 - Sovereigns, and the overarching antagonist (and titular character) of Chapter 7 - The First Looper.

Initially created by the Monarch of Timelines as the supreme deity in command of the element of Zero, Gaea was a boisterous and lively, albeit ambitious, ruler who always sought the best for his creations. However, after the arrival of The Infinite Archon, he was forced to join the other three Sovereigns - Thanatos, Olethros, and Aurora - in pushing back the invasion of their timeline. Though Aurora was slaughtered and the Omniverse was fractured, Gaea took the chance to betray Thanatos and kill Olethros, solidifying himself as the sole ruler of the Omniverse.

Gaea's manipulations would soon be unveiled by a race of beings known as The Titans, who worshipped Olethros and her power through the hints of herself she had left behind. The Titans would soon wage war against creation, and their leader, a king named Viel, would create the blade Soul Eater for use to kill him. While the Titans were soon wiped from history, the incident of Viel's final confrontation with Gaea was enough to shake him and consider him to change his ways.

The Genesis Architect would soon abandon his power within the Monado of Genesis, before devoting his actions throughout the future of the timeline to atoning for the crimes he had committed against his former friends. This led to him writing the Forbidden Chronicles and commanding Ouroboros, his personal disciples, to find four individuals prophesied to change the fate of the Omniverse and guide them to making the right choice - whether or not that meant his death.

Gaea's actions during Chapter 2 - Sovereigns directly set the stage for Chapter 7 - The First Looper, and so while he is a supporting character during the Nothing arc of the chapter, he could also be considered the overarching antagonist of the First Looper storyline.

## Summary

### Chapter 2 - Sovereigns

#### Becoming the Ruler of the Omniverse

im too lazy to write this now. im not gonna lie though why tf does gaea like robots so much like most of the ouroboros are robots

### Prior to The First Looper

#### Prior to the Blindspot

The Tyr semi-automatic handgun is a new and unique choice of sidearm in Modern Warfare 3. It's a heavy-hitter, chambering 12.7x55mm bullets with the ability to deal out truly devastating consequences for your opponents. Unfortunately, with such high damage potential, the recoil control and fire rate suffer as a consequence. Ranked A-tier in our best guns in MW3 list and 4th in our best Pistol guide, it's a pretty impressive pistol choice. Plus, if you utilize the loadout and class setup below, you'll be able to balance out the Tyr's weaknesses, like the insane gun kick we've mentioned, and create a weapon proficient in taking out multiple enemies.

### Chapter 7 - The First Looper

#### The Ageless Arc

basically he like authorizes the first ouroboros to kill prisoner basically.

#### The Geno Arc

basically X thinks that Gaea wants the Omniverse to be dead. I mean he does but not really because he wants to free Olethros tbh

#### The Nothing Arc

hes like sending ouroboros to do shit also he admits to the team that he fucked up tbh and they have to choose to support him or thanatos.

## Personality

Gaea, in Chapter 2 - Sovereigns, is deeply loyal to the Monarch of the Timelines. One might even say that he is a suck-up, a bitch, and a loser idiot. However, to the other Sovereigns, while he is confident, extroverted, and charismatic, he is also extraordinarily ambitious. As seen at the end of Chapter 2 - Sovereigns, he takes the chance to kill Olethros and banish Thanatos into the depths of The Nothing. This can often be his undoing, as seen when he refused to use the Monado of Genesis to defeat the Infinite Archon because of his cockiness, and later on in life, he comes to regret this state of mind.

After his encounter with Viel, and during Chapter 7 - The First Looper, however, Gaea is a completely different character - having witnessed the horrors of his rule firsthand, he has completely shed that confident demeanor that he used to have. He has become humble and self-deprecating to a degree, and he has lost all confidence in his rule. He has become more pacifistic and benevolent as well.

Above all, though, what he has always retained is a sense of loyalty to his creation. Though he was willing to betray Thanatos and Olethros, he holds the Creations of Zero in high regard, vowing to be a worthy god for them and, no matter what, remaining steadfast in his support for them. While the extent of this has changed - during The First Looper, for example, he has completely shed any concept of limitation for mortals and encourages sharing what was formerly forbidden knowledge with his creations - no matter what, he has always retained a sense of love for the ones he has created.

## Appearance

Gaea has two main appearances.

His first appearance (as seen above) in Chapter 2 - Sovereigns, is more regal and powerful, and he keeps this outfit throughout his reign as the Genesis Architect until his meeting with Viel.

His second appearance (as seen above) in Chapter 7 - The First Looper is more barebones and simplistic, simply representing the Zero Point in his design, as it reflects his mentality that he is no longer a fitting ruler.

## Voice Claim/Themes

### Voices

There are two possible voices for Gaea.

1. Peter Cullen (voice of Optimus Prime)
2. J.K. Simmons (voice of Omni-Man)

Ultimately both work but I imagine J.K. Simmons' Omni-Man voice for Gaea in Chapter 2 - Sovereigns, and Peter Cullen's Optimus Prime voice for Gaea in Chapter 7.

### Themes

1. Fractured Melody (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_zPvopvSqjM) *Or just anything with the Zero Point motif.*
2. Posthumous Forgiveness (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44lWO3qhQMk)
