@Inner Demon She would, but Miyu has participated in three battles so far, and is pretty sure that if there are any answers on these battlefields, the faction leaders aren't actually going to want her to figure them out.
Also, who gave Hohenheim her powers? SCIENCE!.
Who built Eos is a fun question. And whether or not the sun goddess heart was a willing or forced participant.
@TheWindel Actually, if Zak follows up on his earlier conversation and drags Miyu into the Harley plotline, that would be a way to get Miyu back in the game.
@TheWindelI didn't mean they had to share that interest together. Plus Harley doesn't exactly seem like she has the capability to be ditched. Anyway, getting Miyu tied in is as easy as Harley showing Zak something he needs another persons help for. @The 42nd Gecko
@Inner Demon After this battle though, I've already reached my character per battle limit, and Miyu still counts, useless as she is, and not actually really on Team Angel as she is.
And the only situation I can come up with for Zak needing Miyu is..
Henry: Alright, I'm going to stop you from getting the nebulous treasure, because I want all the things.
Zak: Darn. I don't suppose you'd like to look in that direction?
Miyu: Hey Heeeenry...
Henry: GRRRRRRRRR....
Zak: *bops henry while he's distracted*
But, Henry's already established Miyu's a side goal now, actual power always comes first.
*Gasps* Finally! This profile took too long to make. History was a bit of a pain in my ass but I hope its reasonable enough. Feeling good about this one!
Mephlistrophus Baal Asmodeus
"You poor poor thing... you have no idea who you're dealing with."
Name: Mephlistrophus Baal Asmodeus
Title: "The Hell Knight"; "Hell Walker"; "The Armored Nightmare"; "The Two-Faced Heretic": "The Titan Slayer" "Lord Mephilus"; "Mephy" (Close Friends/Allies)
Age: 1,800 Years old; (Looks to be in his mid-late 20s)
Gender: Male
Allegiance: The Demons Of Hell
Race: Demon
Height: 6'3" (1.9 Meters)
Weight: 174 Pounds (79 Kilograms)
Personality: At first glance, Mephilius looks to be a pretty chill demon. He's often very patient, rather polite, and is a good listener. He even usually attempts to defuse situations by talking things out with the opponent first, using a combination of logic and a sprinkle of sarcastic figures of speech just to spice things up. Of course, when this fails, does Mephilus return fire on an equal magnitude. It's then when he unleashes his more darker personality, his maniacal and insanely brutal nature. He is merciless, savage, and shows no mercy, with a thirst for torture, pain, suffering, and humiliation to be smothered across the faces of his enemies. And this can come as quick as a snap of a finger. One must truly beware of such shifting mood change and respect Mephilius or you might just end up in one of his torture dungeons, or the tip of his lance as the best case scenario.
History: The story of how Mephilus came to the power that he is, was an extremely long and especially grueling odyssey that took him to the limits of both his psychological and physical capabilities. His overall life has been anything but traditional, having been "born", or rather manifested, from a ball of pure hellbent energy. His creator was a demon highlord known as Paytuazhal, one of the most powerful demons of his time, third only to the former ruler of the time. He planned to overthrow Hell's King of his era but he needed an apprentice to help him with such a task. He planned to teach and train Mephilius everything he knew to assure that he will be able to make it as the new ruler of this realm.
Mephilius experienced the most brutal training imaginable under the highlord himself, being always pushed to his absolute limit both physically and mentally. Paytuazhal was even able to break him several times in the beginning of his training, to the point where he could switch from calm to berserk at almost any time. Yet the training went according as planned, as his new apprentice became a living weapon of mass destruction. By the time he was roughly 200 years old, he was finally ready to be pushed onto the battlefield and ready to serve his master abroad. His reward for passing the first phase of the Highlord's plan was a suit of highly advanced super armor known as "The Phantom Horseman", along with a specialized gunlance and shield to take down even the strongest of foes. He was tasked in killing certain high-ranking demons and angels from both sides for the highlord's cause, as well as on several missions to retrieve several artifacts for him. The more he killed, the more infamous he became on both sides.
Yet some demons began to worship Mephilius' undying power and made their own clan. It would be shortly after when he himself would find their cult but instead of killing them he made them as his secret army. He even began to recognize the signs that his master may have had plans to simply eliminate him after he earned the throne. So when he, his army, and his master went to confront the Ruler Of Hell, he had to pick a side that would change the course of history as one knew it. At this point, Mephilus chose to kill his former master, his creator for that matter, in cold blood. As he stood upon his bleeding carcass, the King rewarded him for his loyalty by providing him with a castle of his own and new units for him to command. In addition, he became a Lord himself, where he remains to this day...
As the Machina began to come onto the scene, Lord Mephilus became more weary of their presence and used his units on several occasions to wipe out their forces. Yet they continued to persevere, leaving him no choice but to join the War...
Powers:
Pyrokinesis: Even without his armor, Mephilus is still quite able to stand his ground. One of his abilities is to generate and control fire at will, casting fire balls and beams of hellfire at his opponent.
Portal Creation: Mephilus is capable of creating portals that allow him to transport himself and others to different locations around the world, as well as to enter other realms such as Hell.
Phantom Horseman Armor: While this armor provides a strong amount of defense against incoming attacks, it also has several offensive capabilities on its own:
Dynamic Camouflage: With the term "Phantom" in its name, the Armor can visually blend into immediate environment almost turning invisible. (Think Ghost In The Shell)
Jet-Propulsion: The Phantom has a quad series of small jets located on the back of the armor, allowing him to jump and fly far distances.
Minor Shielding: Using an ancient tome to cast a spell onto the suit of armor, the hellish aura that can be seen when visible allows for it to acquire minimal shielding to deflect weak projectile and physical attacks. It can't be sustained for too long however.
Pain-Inhibitors: An extreme risk but high-reward ability, the user can activate special pain inhibitors to basically not feel any sort of pain for up to several minutes. The user can be shot or slashed but he will not feel any sort of pain, however once they start to loose their effectiveness, the user will start to feel the pain from the blows, first being mild and then slowly becoming almost unbearable and may even result in death, depending on the damage caused by the opponent. Advised to be only used in dire situations or as a last hurrah against the enemy. Alternatively, one must have a healer nearby to heal the wounds.
Weapons:
Lance Of Desolation: Used specifically in unison with the Phantom Armor and the Shield Of Unholy Misery, this gunlance can be only be wielded by the strength provided with the armor it comes with. With such a wide width and impressive length, it can deal some nasty damage towards any foe who is unfortunate enough to get pierced. Yet with having the gun in gunlance, it can also shoot a ranged explosive that can deal a hefty deal of damage towards the opponent. The tip can be outfitted with various explosive rounds, however they only work at close to medium ranges and not for targets at far-distances.
Shield Of Unholy Misery: Used specifically in unison with the Phantom Armor and the Lance Of Desolation, this shield can only be wielded by the strength provided with the armor it comes with. Its unholy aura negates almost all holy attacks that come in contact with it, along with mild regular projectile attacks. However raw physical strength and strong non-holy projectiles have potential in damaging the shield.
Blade Of Kōjin: A weapon used without his armor, Mephilus wields a red katana in battle, whose blade is hot enough to cut through steel.
Equipment:
Phantom Horseman Armor: Forged by the strongest metals of the NetherRealm, the Phantom Horseman Armor (P.H.A) is an advanced suit of armor that gives the individual such almighty power to deal nasty damage to enemy forces as well as tanking most of it in. In addition, the metal used for the armor provides the user with dynamic camouflage armor, allowing him to blend in with the environment and avoid getting detected, hence the 'Phantom' in its name. It also allows the user to jump incredibly high and far into the air for getting to places faster. Coming with it, the armor also carries the Lance Of Desolation and Shield Of Unholy Misery which were both designed specifically for the suit to wield.
Other:
In his castle, Mephilus has several servants that do his every bidding and guard his residency, while also acting as simple soldiers in battle. He also has other units at his disposal, which include Infernos, Hellspawns, Witchers, and Atrocities.
@TheWindel Well, it's not due to her brilliance that Iona flat out told her that. Miyu just wanted a beach birthday party and Iona had to reveal the underlying secrets of how horrible the universe is.
It's good that someone else notices the fact that Iona isn't good at all.
@The 42nd GeckoSounds like something beast wouldn't mind doing. But if miyu is so philosophical about this universe, wouldn't she share...say...Zak's curiosity for things like ancient ruins, mysterious artifacts, and generally old per-war shiny stuff? Like finding out who gave hoenheim her powers or what factory built Eos? Zak may be a "bumbling fool" outwardly but he has a deep curiosity for universe and what makes it tick.
Those are easy answers. Hohenheim's power comes from reaching the root of all knowledge through her alchemical research. Really that one is very easy to find out, considering how Hohenheim likes to brag. Zack'd better be ready for a loooong spiel if he asks her about it, though.
The second one he'll have to work harder to find out. But as is said on her backstory and vaguely known to everyone in the Nexus, Eos wasn't built there, she was either found in some ancient ruins or appeared out of nowhere and became robot Messiah when humanity was facing their darkest hour, eons ago.
@KoL Btw, who exactly is that girl that Zeruel encountered? Looks much like a demon but idk...
Spoilers, as @TheWindel said. But, if you paid attention to her speech, you would be able to find hints about the future of the RP.
@KoLMy question is how did she know Harleys name when Zak and Harley both made that up together on the spot...unless Harlequin was her name all along! O.O
@TheWindelWell I mean there's only so many explanations. Either it's her name or this second mysterious girl was watching somehow during Zak and Harley's little chat.

You're assuming Harley wasn't like, "Oh yeah, let's just go with that name that I totally never heard before this." She was the one to suggest it first after all.
Finally, more hard-hitting Demons. He seems like a combination of Sliske and Henry; like Kermit, I have plans for him. Accepted on my end; wait for KoL's judgement.

Has a bit more inspiration from Silske compared to Henry, but regardless only by a little bit.
And ooooh plans. Let me in on them in the PM if you can/want.
