Character Profiles 9

It's that time again, and this time, it will feature four, count them four new characters to appear in Record of Agarest War: Xover Edition! So let's start, shall we?


Houki Shinonono

Age: 16

Race: Human

Profile: A student of a academy which uses mechs called ISes (Short for Infinite Stratos) in a Earth almost ran by women due to the creation of these ISes according to Dyshana. She is an kendo expect due to her training as a shrine maiden and such, but is easily angered and highly emotional.

When she and four of her classmates (all of them female and still retaining their memories of their world) are pulled in Agarest and cursed with immortality by Summerill's cursed trinkets, they along with another group from another Earth are attacked by Melona, Menace, and Airi, servants of the Swamp Witch who has allied herself with Summerill and his forces. They were saved by the last minute by Leonhardt and his friends. At first, Houki distrusted  Leo due to his powers that can rival a god, but overtime, her trust in him grew as she sees him fight for the weak and innocent, defeating the wicked forces of the Demon King and she begins to admire him of his leadership skills and also reminding her of her childhood friend who saved her from some male bullies in her younger years.

She grew sad to see that Leo must sacrifice himself to seal one of the five pillars of Agarest and helps Renee and Ellis raise Leo's children. She was first hinted to develop a crush on the former general, but she knew she can't love him because it will interfere with his destiny.

She knew she has to arm herself with a sword since she doesn't have her IS with her. Don't let her appearance fool you, she's almost as good a swordsman as Leo.



Meia Gisborn

Age: 19

Race: Human

Profile: One of the leaders of a band of female space pirates in a universe where men and women are divided, she is silent and cold, despises men and a good fighter. Her past is a tragic one and somehow, Dyshana knows about it.

When she, her fellow women and some men are sucked into Agarest due to a strange wormhole on their journey home, they find that their Dreads (spaceships that can combine with a robot called a Vanguard due to a mystical and strange event during a fight with some men) have turn into hand size weapons due to the user's feelings, for Meia in this case, a shotgun. They were attacked by Gridamas during the Battle of Mudus Gate, but Leo and the gang came to her and her gang's rescue during the fight, much to some of the female space pirates' chargin.

Meia and the rest of her fellow space pirates (Save for some who accepted Leo and Renee) grew annoyed along with the men (Note this takes place after the first three episodes of the first season of Vandread) that Dyshana stated that Leo and Renee will be their leader in the fight against Summerill and helping the odd crew of men and female space pirates finding a way to remove Summerill's cursed trinkets from their bodies. She, along with some women and Hibiki objected and challenge Leo to a battle to decide who will lead Raigan's Army and the men and female space pirates wanted to defeat Leo.  (For the men, they despise Leo since he treats women as equals and the female space pirates, Leo has men and women joining forces in his army.) But Leo easily defeated both Hibiki's men and Meia's gang due to the power of Dyshana coursing through his veins and the two gangs have no choice but to reluctantly become part of Raigan's Army.

Meia at first acts on her own and refuses to take orders from Leo, but when Leo saved her life from near death by the hands of a Gridamas soldier, she opens up to him quickly and begin to realize why the male and females of Leo's group considered him a brilliant leader and well loved despite him being a former general of the enemy.

She will become sad when Leo must give up his life to seal one of the five pillars of Agarest since for the first time in her life, Leo was like a big brother to her.


Lloyd Irving

Age: 19

Race: Human

Profile: Lloyd hails from a world called Symphonia and wields two swords, one red and one blue. Like Renee and most otherworlders, he and his friend Colette Burnil lost their memories upon arriving in Agarest and the two of them are cursed with immortality due to them wearing Summerill's cursed trinkets. Upon meeting Leo and the gang after they rescue the both of them from Neve, Lloyd quickly befriends Leo and helps him and his children save the universe from the Demon King.

Lloyd is not too bright, but he is brave and fights for his friends no matter the odds. He will do whatever it takes to help Leo's children and protect Colette and saving both her and himself from a doomed fate

Etna

Age: 1403?

Race: Demon

Profile: A demon fatale and one of Summerill's six Dark Generals... Well, until she was fired anyway and joined forces with Raigan's Army.

She is a selfish and evil female demon who mistreats Prinny and his brothers back in her world called the Netherworld. She went to Lucerillia to kill Leonhardt since she couldn't stand waiting, but there is a reason for that.... Summerill stole her memories when she arrived in Agarest and in order to get them back, Etna must serve under the Demon King, much to her displeasure.

She was defeated two times by Leo and the gang and she has no choice but to join forces with Raigan's Army to end Summerill's evil.

She couldn't understand why Leo and his children must sacrifice their lives in order for justice to prevail in the universe. Perhaps that's opening her heart bit by bit when traveling with Raigan's army?

That's all for Character Profiles, stay tuned for the next update.
