Prophet

**Prophets** are individuals chosen by Angels or the Akasha to spread their messages among the masses.

## Description

Prophets differ from Saints in that Saints are heaven-sent to upload Paradiso's will. In contrast, Prophets are tasked with writing down their will in holy scriptures and have holy visions. They act as mediums, tethers between the holy and material realm.

Prophets possess the ability to communicate with and summon angels, read Enochian scriptures, and see the future, the past, or even parallel existences. However, few of them have complete control over their powers, instead being "used" by Angels however they see fit.

It is explained that prophets' power to see the unseen comes from their ability to read infinitesimal portions of the Akasha; said compatibility allows them to understand brief moments in time in the form of visions, glimpses of the future, prophetic dreams or sudden understanding.

The **Spirit of the Hero** is a mysterious ghost watching over Serah.

However, instead of dying, she was granted the privilage to guide the next Serah from the afterlife, which she accepted. She thus guided this new Serah, chiding her and acting harshly in order for her not to repeat her own mistakes.

This only resulted in Serah doubting her own abilities however, and eventually asking the Spirit for purpose. As a last duty, the Spirit fought against Serah, asking her to show proof of her worth. As the young Serah defeated her, the Spirit began to fade away, her Soul seemingly fading, and entrusting her duty to Serah. A last blessing from Farore, however, allowed her to stay within Serah and guide her as long as she lives.

Paul Seckendoff, a priest, preaches to the people of Paris when a terrorist attack slaughters everyone in his town, gravely wounding him. He wakes up only to find himself in a deserted hospital, partially healed. He then leaves despite his wounds, investigating quickly the contents of the hospital.

He finds however nothing but abandoned equipment, weapons to defend himself, as well as several zombie-like individuals who attack him. Understanding his situation and cursing God for placing him in such an event, he looks for help, which he finds in the person of Vassumati Haitu. The young nurse gives him weapon, medical treatment, and helps him steal a truck in order to escape.

### Searching for Survivors

Paul and Vassumati receive a call in their medical truck as they escape Paris. They quickly go to the nearby town of Evry in order to rescue survivors that have been trapped by a zombie horde, and Paul triggers an explosion to kill them. The survivors - arrogant nationalist Dick Francis, nihilistic Boushra Nesaiti, traumatized tourist Seishiru Omoide, struggling coach Georges Samioud and the mysterious genius Sarren Darken - ally with Paul as he finds a way out.

Paul regroups with the other survivors, attempting to consolidate group morale while struggling to keep his own faith, receiving the support of his new allies. Meanwhile, Sarren uses the material at her disposition to search for a way out of the country.

### True Chaos

Sarren soon notices the presence of abandoned aircraft nearby, and the group rushes towards there. They find themselves once again in the suburbs of Paris, and are intercepted by a strange, unnamed survivor. The survivor, driven by obsession and madness, attempts to tempt Paul into obtaining the nuclear codes and using the Atomic bomb on France. Paul hesitates, but the respect of his peers makes him snap out of it and neutralize the man ; however, zombies, attracted by the noise, run towards them.

The group escapes through nearby sewers, but Dick is bitten in the process. He panicks and attempts to kill Paul, but Boushra kills him beforehand. Paul then escapes with the remains of the group, despite Georges being almost insane, and securizes an airplane once arrived before flying away from France.

In a nearby island, Paul establishes camp, discussing with people who have also flown away from other countries as well. He discovers the name of the virus that has turned everyone into zombies : Influenza Larsimenus A.

A **Shoggoth** (plural Shoggoth, Shogghti or Shoggoths) is a primal but extremely dangerous entity of the Dark Tapestry.

## Description

They are shapeless, writhing pitch-black oozes of otherworldly stuff. They possess no mind nor mouth but constantly "broadcast" whispers that quickly make people around themselves insane. They attack by projecting tentacles and probosces shaped from their body in order to engulf their preys and drag them away.

Although they are the weakest inhabitants of the Dark Tapestry by far, thei are terrifying foes by themselves, as they are more than a match for a Divine Servant. Shoggthi are footsoldiers of the Great Old Ones, and are capable of great destruction. However, they need water in order to survive and retreat quickly to their home "plane" should they be deprived of it for too long.

## Trivia

* Shoggthi are traditional creatures of the Cthulhu Mythos.
Sai

**Sai** is an agent of the Church and a powerful Chosen.

## Story

Trained by the Church from birth, Sai was sent alongside Yu and Maria Blanchebois in order to take custody of Leanor Pandaemonium, which he did. Sai mostly remained in the sidelines, following Yu and Maria's initiatives and helping with taking down the Four Anathema Beasts, especially Alicia Rosaria.

Sai proved to be a decisive element in definitely stopping Mickael Idalia, a fallen angel that attempted to destroy the world, in order to reunite with a dead Leanor; however, when Maria fused with Mickael's essence and threatened the world's balance once more, Sai refused to choose a side between his Church and his sister figure, and ended up being swallowed into Inferno.

## Appearance

Sai is a black-haired young man with black eyes as well, dressed in grey and red clothes optimizing his mobility.

## Personality

Raised by an extremist branch of the Church, Sai was repeatedly mentally broken in order to act as a perfectly obedient warrior, one who acts without a care for morality or personal desire. Unable to feel anything, or so he says - although he ends up seeing Maria as a responsible older sister. His main manner of communication is through art, the only way that remains for him to express the vague things he feels.

## Powers

* **Supernatural Physical Abilities:** Sai is analytical and swift, using this to her advantage as a wielder of his signature weapon - of course, the sai.
* **Chosen Powers:** While Sai only wields Water, he is able to use it to an extremely high level, creating duplicates out of water and healing others quite easily.

## Storylines

* Chronicles of the Damned II features him as a protagonist.

## Trivia

* He was named after the weapon with the same name.
Sunako

**Sunako** is a young Buddhist nun and later the **Fake** **Buddha of Earthly Pleasures**.

## Story

### Birth of a Buddha

A young nun working in a temple, her purity and similarities attracted a shard of Niramani to her. Sensing her innocence, the shard attempted to corrupt her by manipulating her desire to be loved, turning all those around her into maddened, obsessive would-be lovers. However, Verveine Samsaran intervened and saved Sunako, much to her gratitude.

When Niramani was complete however, it returned to Sunako, further influencing her and offering her enlightenment. This allowed Sunako to become Buddha and seek to free the world from pain, absorbing them in an endless realm of pleasure, at the cost of identity. Once more Verveine returned, speaking to Sunako and snapping her out of her trance, bringing her back with her alongside her disciples and taking care of her.

### Alternate Times

Sunako was summoned in an alternate age as Sunako of Virgo, serving as a False Saint-class Divine Servant as a benevolent overseer to the world. She helped a small group of Divine Servants, including Serah and her master Monika Thule, with defeating the combined threat of Adrammelech and Project Gottsieg, afterwards leaving the war, having fulfilled her desires there.

## Appearance

Sunako is a black-haired, white-eyed young woman dressed in modest nun clothing. They were replaced by translucent garments as the Buddha of Earthly Pleasures, Niramani embedded in her chest.

## Personality

Sunako is a confused young woman who was sheltered all her life and dreams of being loved. Although she strives to free herself from earthly desires, her conflicted mind and Niramani's desires result in her believing that if desire is the root of evil, then eternal pleasure would result in the end of pain and desire. A confused, all-loving dark messiah of pleasure and flesh, Sunako remains oddly benevolent and chaste at heart.

## Powers

* **Six Realms Mastery:** Niramani has blessed Sunako with the ability to perform Six Realms techniques without a cost, up to and including Krishna, the Outer God Truth which allows her to rebuild reality according to her whims.
* **Divine Servant Abilities:** Sunako, in her Divine Servant guise, possesses supernatural abilities befitting her status as Sunako of Virgo

## Storylines

* Thread to Heaven features her as the last antagonist.
* Magus Wars : Perfection features her as Sunako of Virgo.

## Trivia

* Sunako means "daughter of sand" in Japanese and "dark side" in Sanskrit, hinting at her double nature.
* Her role is a homage to Fate character **Kiara**.
* It is hinted that Sunako was chosen due to her similarities with Verveine, Niramani being born out of Kokujou's lust for her.
Shadow Realm

The **Shadow Realm** is a Mindscape associated with repressed desires and the unconscious.

## Description

As the name implies, it is the realm where Shadows dwell. It is a dark and chaotic, almost abyssal place where forbidden desires go to waste. It is considerably hideous - even Sigma, strongly influenced by a powerful Demon lord, was disgusted by the atrocities committed in that domain. Its general appearance is that of endless, flesh-like gigantic caverns, representing the two most primitive urges of mankind : sexuality and murder, the sources of all taboos.

Desecrated idols and dark churches mock religion while constant anarchy reminds those who visit the place that no order is allowed among one's base impulses. Cannibalism and rape are rampant, with Shadows devouring each other and abusing each other in an endless, bloody orgy. A central palace in the shape of a beating heart allows Joshua Skye, Territory Lord, to stand alongside Nahema Blanchebois above its subjects.

Sometimes people making nightmares glimpse the Shadow Realm, but often forget the trauma upon waking up. Those who however see this realm while in a lucid dream risk being corrupted by Shadows that devour their existence and replace it with their own essence and desires, turning the individual into a bloodthirsty psychopath.

## Trivia

* The Shadow Realm is the only Mindscape that does not follow any specific symbolism - perhaps to even further represent the sheer chaos of mankind's Id.
Maeva

**Maeva**, also known as the **Red Horseman**, is one of Lucifer's Four Horsemen.

## Story

Maeva was created from Lucifer's execution of the Binding of the Horsemen, and helped him with starting his version of the apocalypse. During her travels, she met with Candy and Torine, who attracted Lucifer's interest. When Torine was driven to despair, Maeva appeared to her and helped her, showing her tough love and supporting her, traveling alongside her and helping her in her own way.

## Appearance

Maeva is a black-haired, red-eyed young woman dressed in bright red biker clothing. She is inseparable from her dark red motorcycle.

## Personality

Fittingly for the Horseman of War, Maeva is violent-minded, brutally honest and tactless, embracing her "biker" look and persona to the extreme. One of the most rebellious Horsemen - barely acknowledging Lucifer's authority and only siding with him for survival and fun - she enjoys wreaking havoc and disrupting established order. She is bored quite easily, and will cause property damage if left alone too long. These traits allow for a great compatibility with Torine.

## Powers

* **Supernatural Physical Abilities:** As a Horseman, she is supernaturally strong and enduring, as well as swift.
* **Horseman of War:** As the Horseman of War, she can sow chaos and discord by rousing one's violent impulses, and use her powers for sheer destruction.

## Trivia

* Maeva's name was given to her by Torine, and is named after queen Medb, from Gaelic meaning "drunk with power".
Serene Patior

**Serene Patior** is a mysterious man doubling as the Sixth Transcendant.

## Story

### Tranquil Dust

Serene was exposed to the Maelsturm due to unforeseen circumstances, causing him to become a Transcendant and lose all motivation in life ; he joined the Seven Transcendants due to unwillingness to disobey them, and went on to follow their plans, saving Sephia of Alruna and Adrian of Asura from the ruins of the city of Iboria and nursing them back to life.

However, during the critical phase of his leader's plan, he was asked to buy him time by facing Adrian inside the Maelsturm. Revealing his identity, he halfheartedly fought Adrian, even using his Advent in order to force Adrian to overcome this final trial. He was defeated and scattered into dust, finally at rest.

Serene was later brought back to life by Daren Tuule as compensation for destroying the world of another Transcendant, Serana Crimson, in an alternate Timeline. As Daren repaired the wound in his Soul, Serene showed a newfound enthusiasm in helping Serana.

## Appearance

Serene is a man with torn and battered clothes, brown hair and eyes, and a perpetual smile on his face. He walks using a massive stick as a walking cane.

During his Advent, his body becomes encased in stone, and a sphinx's frill appears behind his head.

## Personality

Serene is amiable and simpleminded in appearance, while in fact his behavior borders on complete apathy due to his lack of personal drive. This makes him indifferent to his own death and unwilling both to follow and to disobey orders.

## Powers

* **Enhanced Endurance:** Serene is able to endure tremendous punishment without breaking a sweat, even when gravely wounded.
* **Earth Manipulation:** Serene as a transcendant can freely manipulate the element of Earth.
* **Advent:** Serene's Advent is **Silent Guardian Pigritia**. This advent grants Serene the ability to warp Space to his whims as well as a sphinx-like appearance.

## Storylines

* Heartless Memories shows Aesir as an opponent.
* Memories Mending briefly features him.

## Trivia

* His first name alludes to serenity while his last name is Latin for "I endure" or "I am passive".
* His theme song, as chosen by his creator, is Hollow Years by Dream Theater.
* Despite Serene possessing a low rank as a Transcendant - in fact, the lowest since the Seventh Transcendant is not an actual member of an organization - Serene is most likely the most powerful Transcendant, showing fighting prowess equal to the First Transcendant's while still holding back.
Shamanism

**Shamanism** is a subclass of Alchemy that specializes in the use of Anima coming from Leylines. Alongside Alchemy, it is sometimes treated as pseudomagic. One who practises Shamanism is called a **Druid** or **Shaman**.

## Description

Shamanism mitigates the risk of both positive and negative alchemy, attempting to strike a balance between the two. They tap into leylines to use their alchemic arts, so they avoid the self-destructive consequences of positive alchemy, but their spells are reduced in power and tap into wellsprings of energy, avoiding the catastrophic depletion of negative alchemy.

Shamanism is a powerful art indeed, but it needs training, for leylines are wild and are not tamed by anyone. They only answer to someone in tune with Nature, and even then, results of such natural magic can be sometimes catastrophic and unpredictable. To that reason, shamans often call to Spirits such as Kami who reside in Leylines in order to help them. Generally, those who do not use spirits are called Druids instead.

Shamanism is often seen as natural magic, due to its intimate tie to leylines, but can also be used in conjunction with specific leylines and Spirits to produce other effects. Soul Shamanism, for example, is performed by calling upon the souls of the dead in tainted leylines.

Shamanism, due to its specific use, training and limitation, is the only form of Alchemy that does not produce Miasma.
