Longinus-1 "Eins" | Persona 2 | Not Reserved
Nickname: AOB
Age: 19
Personal LJ/DW:
Method of Contact: AIM: Parasitic Fron
Characters Played: None
Character Info:
Name: Longinus-1 “Eins”
Age: Somewhere in his forties in terms of human appearances
Canon: Persona 2
Pull Point: Still in Antarctica, but without knowledge of Persona. Will be covered in his AU History.
Background Info:
History: http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Knights_of_the_Holy_Lance
http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Last_Battalion
In canon, Eins and the Knights of the Holy Lance were created specifically as the Anti-Persona Squadron to counter Persona users' powers. Eins in the AU, however, is still created as the leader of the Knights of the Holy Lance, but without the explicit purpose of combating Persona users. They are intelligent automatons prepared in the upcoming battles of the Last Battalion against the world. In canon, during the confrontation against Eins, he hints about the true power behind Xibalba: that thoughts and feelings affect what comes true or not inside. Despite being created by the Last Battalion and being brought to life by Nyarlathotep's rumors, Eins shows a sense of self-awareness, yet continues to fight against the heroes and serve the fallen Third Reich. To parallel that, Eins in this AU is a materialization of the conspiracy theory surrounding Hitler's Last Battalion. Eins is aware that all evidence is to the contrary and that he doesn't truly exist in his world including the six million Nazis in Antarctica. Regardless, he is committed to acting out his duties as a soldier when the world is ready to call him and the Last Battalion into it. For now, though, he maintains a conceptual existence.
Personality: Eins is first and foremost a soldier. He follows the orders of his Fuhrer unquestioningly and salutes him with equal zeal to any organic fanatic. Considering the man that he is looking for, many of his orders are filled with moral ambiguity. Some of his orders may not make all too much sense to boot. However, as a soldier, it's not his job to question those orders. His commands and the moral implications of them are all better left dealt with by his commanding officers. Eins does not ask questions and continues to follow any given order and mow anybody down without so much as a blink.
However, this doesn't mean that he personally believes in the ideology of his masters. He might follow his orders with zeal, but this is only because that is his purpose. Eins is a marionette of fate. He believes that all things are fated to follow a certain path one way or another. To minimize suffering means to accept that fate and to continue pressing onward without question, not as a soldier, but also as a man. And it is because of this that Eins sees no reason to act outside his station or prescribed role. He pities his enemies as he fights them. In the end, they're all caught in the same whirlwind of fate.
For a robot, Eins has hinted that he is surprisingly self-aware. He isn't one to belittle his enemies like his peers, but genuinely pity them. He understands more than he ought to and realizes in canon who is truly pulling the strings behind his Fuhrer. But that is his purpose. There is nothing else in his life as a “ghost of rumors”. At the same time, the whirlwind of fate is everything in his life. He isn't one to quickly put himself into battles, but when he does, he always puts forth the effort into victory and examining the struggle from a distance all the while. He analyzes the struggle and the worth of his opponents in contrast with everything around them. Those he sees as worthy or fierce are given names like “lion”, certainly in contrast with his peers who always look down on any opponent.
In the end, Eins is also the second in command of the entire Battalion and as such is capable of making accurate assessments of what his Fuhrer would order when he's not around. While dependent on his role and Hitler's orders, Eins' alignment is firm and will not bind himself to another's authority. He will act based on what is necessary for the Battalion, taking the role of commander, combatant, scout, and anything else he deems necessary. In the end, Eins is no more a person than he is a personified concept intended to act out what people define it as. He may not be able to ever deviate from that. Nor does he have any wish to.
Game Specific:
Arcana: Chariot
Justification: Victory, optimal results, and the acquisition of a future where his leaders' visions shine bright are what Eins continuously strives for. He's dedicated with his task and is highly unlikely and unwilling to falter from his mission. He was created for the purpose of triumphing over his enemies and he intends to do so. However, this is the only thing that Eins is concerned with. He disregards anything else that stands in his way and has no control over his actions. After all, they were predestined all along. He does little to challenge this.
Samples:
First Person Sample: Perhaps there should be no surprise that I have come face to face with these... Shadows. If Jungian psychology plays any role in helping define these creatures, they are that which lurks inside the hearts of men. The “Shadow” aspect of the subconsciousness is the culmination of “human” weaknesses that we are all pitted against.
So be it then. This too was decided by fate. Fate is the force that determines the birth and unbirth of lives, their roles, and possibilities. No matter how unwelcoming an event occurred may be, it has always been meant to happen.
Prospero will be paved over for the impending Fuhrerstadt. The Shadows will be tamed and used as tools. This is ultimately my role.
