Vert

Vert, is the CPU of Leanbox, although originally she had lost her power to transform thanks to the machinations of Arfoire at the time. She is one of the main Heroines of OEG, with an alter ego known as Green Heart as well as a Demonic Devil Trigger Ego.

## Appearance

When she first appears, she is a well-endowed woman, looking
to be between her early to mid-20’s, with long blonde hair that was currently
held in a ponytail. Her eyes were concealed by a pair of thin-rimmed shades,
hiding her eyes from view. Her attire consists of a light green, long sleeved
turtleneck that fit snugly on her hourglass figure. She wore a lighter green
knee length pencil skirt, with black stockings and green high heels.

Later on, however, Vert changes her outfit and appearance
after she was rescued by Nico from a bunch of rapists. Her new attire looked
like an emerald green dress with gold markings. Her hands were covered by big
yet loose light green and white gloves. Just under her armpits there were these
green band-like accessories that had golden markings, just like her dress.
Around her neck, she wore a big white collar with green lining around the
bottom, with a very thin white cloth connecting the dress and neck piece
together. On top of that, there was a red ribbon with gold outlines and a
golden centre, with a blue gem, on top. Along the top part of her white skirt
was a big peachy coloured bow, tied behind her. At the centre, was a gold
circular piece with a small blue gem in the centre and tiny red ribbon with
gold in the centre. The skirt had a slit in the side, exposing one of her legs,
which had this white cloth material going down the side, ending at her feet which
were covered in green big, loose socks that flared behind the ankles, and white
heels. Her hair was no longer in a ponytail, instead it hung down like a layer
of swaying water, and her eyes didn’t have any eyeglasses on them.

She also has a black and light green version of her outfit
that she shows Nico when they meet again after she learns of an alliance
between Planeptune and Lastation.

## Personality

Vert is considered to be the most mature of the group, though
perhaps tying with Noire, Vert is a very motherly person while Noire does twice
as much work. Her two most noticeable traits, her gaming addiction and her
obsession for beauty is shown very often, however she is also known to be
smart, and usually very calm and polite. She also isn't nearly as strong as she
sees herself, but she does consider her people's needs and keeping peace a top
priority, proven when she explains her feelings about the Alliance to Nico and
how she acts around IF.

Vert is obsessed with manga, anime, and video games to the
point of being an "otaku". Vert has an obsession with beauty as well,
especially when it comes to breasts, she has the largest breasts in the world
and she often displays them proudly, they are her most powerful assets but a
weakness at times. She also harbours a secret love of collecting "adult
male-only items", which makes her a fujoshi.

There is a side of her that appears around Nico exclusively,
the aggressive domineering side that is born mostly out of sexual frustration,
which she reflects on afterwards. She is similar to Neptune, IF and Lucy in
that she does not see the problem with aggressively pursuing someone with
romantic intent and displays similar levels of insight to the brunette when it
comes to Nico’s mental state. She has the habit of calling him Nicky, which
Neptune disapproves of highly as she was the one to call him that first.

She is also initially cautious of things that could
potentially damage her Landmass, such as the Spec Ops Program. This is due to
mostly the bloody history behind it, as well as how it is full of people who
despise the thought of following a Goddess. Though, as the story progresses she
shows more and more respect for how the Spec Ops Agents operate and how brave
they are to face the odds and discrimination that they do. This opinion is
later expressed at the Gala when she talks to Neptune and Noire about it.

## Powers and Abilities

Thanks to being a Goddess, Vert is a critically powerful
character, as well as important to Gamindustri since she is one of its rulers.

### **Wardcraft**

Thanks to the two Tenants she has fused with, Vert has
learned much about Wardcraft from them, and as such has become just as
proficient as they are in utilizing them for her own needs. However, she has
instead used this craft to better amplify her own martial prowess much like
that of Cu Chulainn due to the latter being what she specialized in truly. Because
of this, she has set up multiple sets of Wards on her body, these being:

**Regen Wards** - Wards which glow red when activated, and when
they do, they automatically and quickly heal Vert of all her injuries,
restoring her to optimal fighting potential. They aren’t as effective as the
healing provided by Demonic Power, but they do run off it and can be a
substitute for it since she cannot use Demonic Power in her human form like the
other CPUs can.

**Drive Wards** – Drive Wards function as her way of using a
Drive Skill, as they allow her to temporarily amplify her abilities beyond what
they should be. They aren’t as effective as proper Drive Skills or even Nico’s
DEMONIC OVERDRIVE, but they also consume power at a much slower rate, proving
their usage.

**Soul Wards** – These were a bit of foresight on Vert’s part, as
thanks to seeing how Soul Attacks can be used to render people unable to fight,
she has thus created some Soul Wards which she then placed on her Soul. These
Wards are meant to provide some defence against Soul Attacks, then repel them
towards their users as if they were attacking their own Souls.

### **Altered HDD Form**

Thanks to fusing with the Fujin, Vert’s HDD Form got altered
by its power, taking on a new appearance to reflect this change just like
Noire’s HDD Form had after fusing with the Ashbringer. Her ponytail now looked
much more... ruffled, like it had been messed up by a strong breeze with her
eyes having been changed to a lime green colour instead of their original
amethyst colour, although their power button symbols remained the same.

Furthermore, her outfit had been modified in both form AND colour,
becoming a full ass green cloth leotard like ones ballet dancers would wear,
with extra Armour plating concealing her breasts, hips, shoulders, top of her
head and feet. The Armour parts were completely black though, with some green X
symbols here and there, the Armour on the Chest looking more like some sort of
cage trying to restrain them or keep them still whenever she was in motion. Her
shoulder Armour looked similar to those technological Droids in that one movie
franchise about two factions who use the force differently beating the stuffing
out of one another. Her head wear, it now looked more like a pair of black
pointy elf ears coming out the top of her head and slanting backwards, with
green interiors. Her arm and Leg wear looked pretty much the same form wise,
but colour wise they had become green predominantly with black sections. The
same could be said for her CPU Spear too, whilst her petal-like wings now
changed into a green colour matching her eyes, whilst becoming shaped like
gusts of wind.

In this form, Vert’s powers over wind are much greater, proof
being how she is able to influence her surroundings with her Wind Manipulation
abilities to the point of potentially being able to create an entire storm by
her will. She can utilize her Wind in an offensive and defensive manner, shown
when she created a wind barrier then exploded it to repel an onslaught of
Noire’s Light Blades.  The ability to
potentially create a storm comes from the fact that she can rotate the Wind so
much that she can create a static charge from the friction generated.

### **Devil Trigger Form**

Alongside her new HDD Form, Vert has also gained access to
her own Devil Trigger Form, one which she unveils during her spar with Noire
after the former decides to move their spat outside the city to avoid any
baseless panic. According to Vert, she had been forming her own Devil Trigger
since the Gala, thanks to Gungnir having absorbed it and pushed it into her
body in a dormant state. When a sufficient amount of it got gathered, Vert had
become able to use it, something she’d discovered by accident… but not without
some serious backlash. The thing was, unlike Noire or Neptune whom had powerful
demonic Souls to manipulate the energy, Vert hadn’t anything like that, so
using it outside of wielding Gungnir whose manipulation abilities were NOTHING
compared to its original self, or even the copy which had been made and lost
during Norse Heart’s time, was considered a sure fire way to kill herself.
Therefore, she had to only use the energy with Gungnir as her equipped weapon,
since it kept the energy from running rampant and poisoning her to death.

Eventually this changed when Vert fought a particularly
powerful Demon who acknowledged her ability to fight, and as such allowed
itself to fuse its soul with her own instead of reforming into a Devil Arm,
becoming her Demonic Power’s ‘controller’ and thus, allowing Vert to finally
unlock her Devil Trigger. Whenever she activates it, Vert becomes whom she
calls ‘Carnage Heart’, a demonic Goddess capable of leaving nothing but carnage
in her wake.

In her Devil Trigger Form, Vert doesn’t change all that much
body wise. Instead, Vert’s body is covered entirely, from the neck down she
wears a full black Spandex suit with red outlines, her torso and abdomen having
a crimson tattoo of sorts across it. Atop her head, Vert possesses two black
horns which curved forwards, as well as an Eyepatch over her left eye, exposing
only the right which had turned into a pure black one, one which looked similar
to an endless void. Within its centre, is a crimson slitted power button symbol
like the ones Neptune and Noire’s Devil Trigger Forms have. For hair, Vert had
hers flow out freely like her original hairstyle in human form, but it had been
styled into black dreadlocks instead with barbed crimson tips. Her arms are
covered to the biceps in black arm sleeves with red outlines along the biceps,
going into a set of black, skeleton-like gloves with crimson clawed nails. Her
feet ended in skeleton-like high heels as well with crimson sharpened soles for
kicking, the ‘heel’ sections looking like they could stab into someone.
Protruding out the base of her spine, is a HUGE ass long black tail with the
appearance of a human spinal column with crimson tendrils wrapping around it
though they didn’t hinder the appendage’s offensive ability any. For wings,
Vert possessed two large, bat shaped ones with tattered webbing, similar to
Noire’s in size, but unlike her form’s Vert only has these two wings. For a
weapon, Vert held in her right hand a crimson Spear as long as she was tall,
one which had dozens of spikes protruding out of its shaft in a random,
disorganized manner until the large blade-like tip which had 2 sets of 3 (6 in
total) which went perfectly horizontal.

In terms of powers, Vert in this form is capable of using
both Gae Bolg and Curruid Coinchenn, though the latter restricts her ability to
use the former upon activation. The martial might this form has is also just as
dangerous if not more so than her other forms, as with this form Vert is able
to manipulate black wind, which is a more demonic, twisted wind of wind than
the wind which her human and HDD Forms command. She is able to utilize a number
of different Spear-related techniques in this form, as well as reshape Gae Bolg
into any kind of Spear she wished to better form those Techniques. In this
form, Vert cannot use her Wards for their purposes, but she CAN use her Demonic
Power as a substitute like any DPU and Demon can.

### **Beninuki**

Beninuki (meaning "Crimson Extractor") is the Spear that
Vert wields in her human form. She gains this Spear not long after she retreats
from the Console War and comes across the Spear’s previous master who falls in
battle against a group of monsters. She had been too late to help, thus she
brought him back to his family whom allowed her to wield Beninuki in its
previous master’s name.

Beninuki takes the form of a long Katakama Spear with a short
sickle pointing out asymmetrically to the point. The Spear can mutilate people
in many different ways, and this is what gives it its name. Thanks to its size,
Vert can also use Beninuki as a javelin and throw it at short distance as a
surprise attack.

### **Soujutsu Style**

Through the time she spends without her powers, Vert
is still shown to be an excellent fighter on the battlefield, utilizing the art
of the Spear with great precision. Especially with her Spear Beninuki, AKA the
Crimson Extractor. She uses a Style called Sojutsu, a martial art focused on
the use of the spear. This technique focuses on the use of the spear as a
cutting weapon, in order to slice the enemy at range. However, Vert is also
known to mix in stabbing attacks as well, diversifying her Skills. After fusing
with the Heroic Spirits Brynhildr as well as Cu Chulainn (Alter) she is able to
refine her skills in the Spear even further, increasing the effectiveness of
her abilities with it to the point of imbuing her Strikes with other attributes
such as wind.

With this style, Vert has access to an arsenal of Techniques,
techniques that she didn’t possess till she retreated from the Console War:

#### **Chigarami (Blood Tangler)**

The user thrusts the spear while rotating the spear
quickly and the design of the spear being asymmetrical to the point, causes the
shaft to bend making it difficult to dodge.

#### **Jasen (Snake Twist)**

Vert causes the shaft to warp by thrusting it with her
right arm and moving it in a spiral motion, thereby producing an ever-changing
thrust and trajectory.

#### **Hassei Kaigan (Enlightenment of the 8 Planets)**

Vert rotates the spear in a
circle so fast that it looks like there are 8 blades of the spear. Vert then
thrusts forward, preforming an all-round attack from all sides with no
openings.

### **Gungnir**

A Godly Spear, the Gungnir is a divine weapon that Vert finds
on her ‘date’ with Nico whilst she is concerned over what to do with Noire
starting truce talks with Planeptune. It was a Spear created by a past CPU
called Norse Heart, although other specifics on its origins are unknown. The
Spear itself takes the form of a golden, 3-meter-long Spear with a golden
ribbon-like design intertwining with each other at the end of the handle and
below the blade. The Spear’s blade tip was shaped like a two-handed sword, with
branch-like designs on the blade’s broad sides with leafy designs coming off
them. It is a divine class weapon, thus it constantly radiates an aura of pure
mythical light, while still retaining the presence of a weapon meant to be used
in combat.

Gungnir has several abilities that it uses in Combat:

·        It never misses its target when thrown, its primary
function with slashing, stabbing etc being secondary.

·       It returns to the user’s hand after hitting its
target.

·        It always hits its target and cannot be destroyed mid
flight thanks to bending space around it.

·        Lastly, it has the power to destroy other CPU-based
weapons, like the ones from their HDD forms.

As of right now, it is vert’s Strongest weapon, stronger than
that of her HDD form, able to bend space itself, and cut through the strongest
of demonic beings. DPUs however, have been seen to have a powerful resistance
to the Spear though, thus they can negate its effectiveness somewhat.

### **Spear – Brynhildr Romantica**

After reuniting with Noire post Spec Ops Exam, Vert reveals
how she is now infused with the Heroic Spirit Brynhildr, a Valkyrie which was a
personal guard of Norse Heart, the CPU of her time. As such, she wields her
Spear which is made from Mythril, a material similar to Silver Steel but no
longer found on Gamindustri due to having been used up long ago. This Spear
also serves as Brynhildr’s Noble Phantasm, BRYNHILDR ROMANTICA, which is an
Anti Unit Noble Phantasm. One that is formed from the love and hate Brynhildr
had for the one whom ruined her life long ago. However, unlike her Vert uses
other forms of Love to power the Spear, such as her love for life, her otaku
nature, positive things which let her utilize its maximum power (plus its size
and mas) of 5000 Kilograms easier. She can’t throw the Spear like she can with
Gae Bolg, but she can launch herself forwards with it like she were thrusting a
Missile whenever she uses the Noble Phantasm.

### **Spear – Gae Bolg**

The OTHER Noble Phantasm, an Anti-Army type at that, which
Vert is able to access, the Spear of the Berserker Class Cu Chulainn known as
the Gouging Spear of Carnage. It takes the form of a twisted, demonic-looking
blood crimson Spear which constantly radiates unimaginable malice and desire
for battle. Gae Bolg itself has a Technique which Vert calls ‘CARNAGE SPEAR’ in
which she throws the demonic Spear like a homing missile, blowing through a
multitude of targets, at the expense of damaging herself to further increase
its power and range. The spear inflicts area-of-effect instant death to the
enemies, or great damage if instant death is avoided, and whilst the damage on her
body is quickly healed by her Regen Wards, she still has to withstand great
pain whenever using this Noble Phantasm. Though to be fair, damage inflicted by
this move is difficult to heal.

However, there is a limitation on this power, as due to the
nature of the Heroic Spirit in question, Vert is only able to summon Gae Bolg
when in Devil Trigger form, and even then, its formed as her default weapon
whenever she does so, so she’s stuck with it whether she likes it or not. As a
result of her DT being fused with this Heroic Spirit, not only does its
appearance get influenced by him, but her personality is somewhat the same as
well. However, thanks to this Vert also has access to a second Noble Phantasm
known as CURRUID COINCHENN: BEAST OF CRUNCHING DEATHTUSK.

### **Armour – Curruid Coinchenn: Beast of Crunching Deathtusk**

The second Noble Phantasm of the Chu Chulainn (Alter) that
Vert can use, an Anti-Unit (self) type Noble Phantasm which, upon activation,
summons the skeleton of the beast whose ribs forged Gae Bolg in the first place,
and wear it as armour. Whilst this Armour is offensive in nature as it empowers
Vert’s strength and Endurance something fierce, it also restricts her from
using Gae Bolg and adopt a more CQC Oriented fighting Style. When activating
this Noble Phantasm, Vert’s form is clad in a helmet-shaped like a horse head
with a single crimson horn coming out on top and pointing forwards. Whilst the
upper section above her boobs are covered by Armour, with some ‘hand’ like
formations wrapping around them, her shoulders are clad in Shoulder pads shaped
like fingers positioned as if they were tightly pressed together and clutching
said bodyparts, sporting crimson spikes like two bloody crowns. For her
forearms, she has two HUGE ass black and red skeleton claws covering them, the
digits being crimson and longer than longswords. Like Gae Bolg, Vert can only
access this Noble Phantasm with her Devil Trigger Form.

## SATANIC TREASURES:

From the secret Vault in Leanbox’s Basilicom, Vert gained
access to some Satanic Treasures, ones which she can use to aid her in
difficult battles. They are:

FUJIN – A white coloured Gauntlet-like Accessory with four
small jewels surrounding one big one like a plus sign, with the Kanji for
‘wind’ on said large stone. This Satanic Treasure is one which, when worn,
allows Vert to control Wind like its an extension of her body, allowing her to
use it for offensive purposes.

·
WIND RELEASE: WIND CUTTER – By swinging anything that
can create a gust of wind, this technique lets Vert create multiple Blades of
the said element which can cut into their opponents.

·
WIND RELEASE: WIND WAVES – Similar to the Wind Cutter,
Vert can create a single, larger Blade of Wind which can even cause Greater
Demons and other large monstrosities to pause and flinch from the pain.

·
WIND RELEASE: WHIRLWIND FIST - A technique where Vert
clads her fist, with Wind to form somewhat of a typhoon that is actually a
revolving blade of wind. Upon impact against an individual, the technique
pierces their body and blows them away with a shock wave.

·
WIND RELEASE: VACUUM SPHERE – This Technique allows
Vert to take a deep intake of Air, then release it in the form of small Spheres
of Wind which scatter in different directions, making it very difficult for one
to avoid without injury. Due to the properties of this technique, the expelled
blasts are capable of piercing into and potentially through an opponent's
flesh.

·
WIND RELEASE: VACUUM BLADE – Vert breaths out wind
onto her Spear or any object in her possession, allowing her to increase its
sharpness and range. It can also change the shape of weapons to other forms,
depending on her will.

TETSUGAN – An Iron Ball-shaped Satanic Treasure the size of a
hand, one which Vert has swallowed to be able to activated at will. Its
activation upon her command thanks to this allows her to harden herself and increase
her defensive abilities.
