CHARACTER NAME: Anguished One, Al Saiduq or Alcor.
CANON & HISTORY: Devil Survivor 2. Septentrione Arc.
AGE: He's been around since the dawn of time, but looks to be a teenager. When he's not a cube, anyway.
CANON POINT: Post-death/"Last Day: Sunday's Fruition".
PERSONALITY: From the getgo, we're made aware that Alcor is a powerful, insightful, mysterious foe. Powerful as much as he's seemingly naive, Alcor's appearance is much more sinister than he truly is. Not to say he won't beat the crap out of an unruly demon with the snap of a finger, but he's preoccupied with the progress of mankind. His interests lie in their prosperity, despite finding them to be perplexing...also, despite watching humanity progress for a very long time.
He's a bit like a child that's watched National Geographic on mute for their entire existence or so.
Alcor's the first of his kind to sympathize with the human struggle. As a Septentrione, his duty is to destroy the planet to make way for another reality. Instead, he's taken on a human appearance and even mingles, communicates, alters certain circumstances, skewing them into their favor as much as he can so that they may prevail instead, even in all the chaos and conflict that's come about as a result of humankind.
Insincere in his appearance, Alcor can come across as awkward, difficult to relate to. His emotions are a bit stunted and he's not entirely sure what feelings even are. Not to suggest he's an unfeeling doll. He's almost always
inquiring in his undertakings, eternally curious of humans and human culture (as well as all things surrounding it) and eager to learn. He loves humankind unconditionally, to the point where he provided a tool (a phone app) once the end trials began, where ordinary people could summon and employ the use of demons for survival, and so that they could fight back against the Septentriones (conventional weapons don't work on them), which, of course, includes himself. He's a quirky guy as enhanced by an ethereal nature he emits simply by being. Whether that makes him more likable or more fishy is a debatable, case-by-case thing.
His intentions are truly good, however, or meant to be inferred as such. He's quick to provide the protagonist with helpful hints on how to defeat the Septentriones -- preferring to offer clues and hints instead of blatantly solving everything of his own accord, as that would conflict with his own ideals. It's later revealed in his backstory that he was the one to provide humanity with fire, culture and language during ancient times, mirroring the story of Prometheus. It's even in his name; The Arabic name for Alcor means "forgotten one" or "neglected one," reflected in how Alcor drifted away from Polaris and the Septentriones and thus developed a different view on human life from them. It's been a lonely path, but one he deems to be 'most correct.' He normally keeps humans at arm's length, supposing they wouldn't trust him should his true nature as a Septentrione be revealed. On the other hand, should a bond be forged, he'd be willing to sacrifice himself for that person.
0 to 100, I know.
He's captivated by humanity from the jump; humans, who operate under free will and are dominated by no godlike entities.
It's further expressed in his name 'the Anguished One'; it originates from the mere fact that he's allowed the planet to fall into corruption and be deemed purgable by Polaris. He feels guilty, as the pioneer to show them potentially destructive tools (fire!) and such, and thus his desire to help out is unnecessarily redoubled (he's already fully devoted to humanity...). Similarly, any self-regard he should have for himself is nonexistent. He's not at all proud of who he is -- what he is or what he's capable of, rather, and in spite of all he's done for humanity and what he continues to do, he cares very little for himself. Another antagonist refers to him as variations of 'a monster', which he simply accepts, and he can't wrap his head around the concept of others mourning his demise (which admittedly has a lot to do with his clinical thought process).
POWERS: Alcor is a Septentrione, or alien, and in existing as such he's Alcor's afforded many supernatural abilities. He can teleport at will, usually in accordance with a blue glow. He can extend this ability to others -- not grant it, but allow them to be teleported as well. He can also use telekinesis, both as a weapon and for things less-sinister -- like simply lifting an object or objects. He's also typically seen hovering himself, floating his way from place to place.
As with most supernatural beings (citation needed) Alcor has the ability to sense or simply know when he's encountering a being of non-human origin. Generally speaking, his senses have been honed to pick up on anyone who may be hiding in ambush as well. He's attracted to others who harbor a strong sense of change or potential as well; could just be a preference.
Moreover, he also has access to the Akashic_Record which is a compendium of knowledge that exists in the astral plane and is what he uses to predict the future. I believe him having access to such a thing in-game would be game breaking and thus...can be ignored.
Alcor can also summon demons with or without his app, to fight at his side. Here, I can restrict him to Botis and Bifrons (or one or the other if that's too much. They're the first demons he'd ever been seen with in his canon).
Alcor's main ability is something called Ominous Star, which is a high-range circumpolarity (field attack) capable of high damage. Mazandyne is a powerful wind spell he's capable of producing (to put it simply), and he can heal himself with Diarahan. He's capable of a bit more, as an all-powerful endboss of sorts, but for the sake of the game I'd like to leave him as is. He's much stronger in his box forms (plural, sadly) and can use those vinelike appendages as for stabbing/binding/attacking, but generally speaking, he's pretty hardy. Man-made weapons (nuclear, even) will have no affect on him and is impervious to disease/poison/etc.
OTHER: NA.
CRAU INFO: N/A
MAGIC ABILITY: Gravity Master, which may or may not be a real thing. Trying to go with something that aligns with one of his main canon abilities, essentially the ability to float, make other objects weightless and manipulate them in a favorable way. This should be effective on other people as much as it is on inanimate objects.
PRICE: Being a cube alien from space, Alcor doesn't have many possessions to call his own or worldly things he cares for very much. That being said, he'll forego his ability to revel in his true form, which is literally the cube linked up in the 'Age' section. If that's unacceptable, he does have a cell phone with a demon summoning app built into it as well as an AI interface named Tico to help guide one through Nicaea.
ACCLIMATION: 9. Most of his problems will be superficial in having to live more like a human than an alien. Lacking the ability to summon demons at will and use the magic he's had since the literal dawn of time at his every whim will be his main hindrances. Working with others and integrating into different scenarios (worlds) shouldn't be too problematic for him.
