hi hiiii i havent been here in like months. anyway im super stoked about Limbus Company showing teasers of Der Freitschütz ID for Outis and for fun i decided to make a guess on what her sin resonances (and the specific skills they're for) might be

anyway! just as a foreword, this is based off of lu-is-not-okay's sin analysis guide. very interesting read, does provide a connection between the explanations ill give and the sin resonances i propose. ill also include a paraphrased explanation of the relevant sins, but if you want a more indepth explanation the link is below

Skill 1 -- Lust

Lust is when you let yourself be guided by your own desires and whims, i.e. forgoing any discipline, long-term goals, etc. to solely fulfill your own instincts and wants. Der Freitschütz as an abno fits this description very well; he does not act on any kind of moral compass, but rather whatever he feels like doing at the time. This is supported by his lore entry in Lobotomy Corporation:

"... With the last bullet gone for good, the hunter traveled to numerous worlds. Sometimes he helped those in need or fought evil, but it was all done on impulse, not a gesture of goodwill or ideals. In one world, he was called a righteous hunter, while in another, he was a bloodstained gunman.. ..."

He is guided by nothing but his own personal whims. He has no moral, external, or societal obligations.

Skill 2 -- Envy

Envy is defined by its requirement of an external stimuli -- a reaction to something done by someone else. Envy implies jealousy or vengeance, but those aspects are not necessary for the sin of Envy -- rather, the key necessity is that a person is being influenced or prompted by something else.

For this Outis ID, she is being prompted by the Manager. Whatever orders she is given, she will follow to the ends of the earth. If the Manager tells her to fire at something, whether its a Green Dawn ordeal, an Agent in the Security Team, or an ALEPH abnormality breaching containment, she WILL shoot it.

"Should the Manager order me to fire... the bullet will penetrate the target. Wherever it is, whichever it is, or whoever it is."

In this regard, she is under total control of the Manager; she does nothing without explicit orders from the Manager, i.e. only acts when prompted to.

Skill 3 -- Pride

Pride is to ignore consequences, whether that is due to the belief that the pros of doing something outweigh the cons or simply flatout refusing to acknowledge the potential harm your actions may bring. It's not necessarily tied to selfishness or overconfidence -- while sacrificing others to benefit yourself is Prideful, so too is making a personal sacrifice to benefit others. Both ways, you are ignoring the ramifications that you or others may experience, out of the belief that it's worth the cost (or ignoring the harm the latter may bring you).

For this ID, this sin is rather intricately tied with Envy, so much so that I had a bit of a rough time determining which Sin should go to which skill. See, in Outis's case, the consequence she is ignoring is the possibility of harming or even killing her coworkers, due to the way her E.G.O. gear works. (FYI, in the original Lobotomy Corporation game, Der Freitschütz's E.G.O. weapon dealt very high damage and had infinite pierce, but also damaged other Agents and Clerks in its line of fire.)

This is where Envy and Pride mix together -- it doesn't matter to her if she kills other Agents or Clerks (Pride), so long as she fulfills her orders (Envy).

"Even... the loved ones."

Adding more for Pride, Outis doesn't acknowledge the harm she brings to her fellow coworkers at all, instead adopting an "at all costs" attitude towards her directives. To her, the "benefit" of completing the Manager's request far outweighs the potential costs of hurting / killing her coworkers.

It's also just woven into the abnormality itself. Der Freitschütz, in the pursuit of his own whims, doesn't acknowledge the harm or aid he brings to other people. He gains various reputations on multiple worlds, being a "righteous gunman" in some and a "bloodstained hunter" in others, but nothing suggests that he cares about his notoriety, or about the consequences of his actions in general.

"The marksman, now a devil himself, continues to pull the trigger to gather the souls of others."

Again, he acts only on his own whims, caring not for the consequences that come after, or for any reasons beside his transient desires.

...

sorry if this is messy or hard to understand its like 5 am for me. anyway der freitschutz is one of my fav abnos and it was fun to theorycraft for the first time in a while. fingers crossed that im right 🤞🤞🤞

I used to think Xigbar’s title was lame as hell until I learned that it’s actually a sick reference and now it’s one of my favorites.

The Freeshooter in English and Magic Bullet Shooter in Japanese, both are direct references to the figure called Freischütz from German folklore. He received a certain number of magical bullets from the Devil that would hit any target he desired without fail. Fitting for Xigbar, considering the space manipulation thing. However, he would only be able to control the first 6 bullets; the 7th would be directed by the Devil himself, and would certainly hit someone the Freeshooter cared about.

I doubt Xigbar being Luxu was planned far enough in advance for it to be intentional, but... it’s easy to see the Master of Masters as a sort of devil figure, isn’t it?

Can you write general headcanons for Der Freischütz? Would love to see your take on him~

You mean the devilishly attractive marksman that nearly everyone is head-over-heels for? I'm glad you asked.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

⸸ F-01-69 (Der Freischütz) -- Base Headcanons ⸸

(He's hot. He's powerful. He also has a long stick that will shoot you down, and not in the good way.)

"Just as the Devil said, the bullets will puncture anything he pleased...forever."

Everyone knows the Sharpshooter, but I wonder just how many know of his legend beyond the data entries?

Not that there is anything you need to know beyond the fact that he made a deal with the devil in exchange for absurdly accurate bullets, but depending on which variation you heard, there are many ways to interpret his character. Isn't that the fun about folklore?

But of course, since this character is Project Moon's retelling of the character, I would still stick with what they have written.

That is, a man who killed everyone he loved.

"The last bullet would puncture the head of his beloved. The moment he heard that, he sought and shot all the people he loved. Then he told the Devil, 'This magical bullet can truly hit anyone just like you say.'"

⸸ Because of the quote above, I interpret him as being...afraid of attachments. It would certainly explain why his Attachment work has been replaced with Request.

⸸ Perhaps that isn't the case now that he is a Devil, but certainly when he was a human, and his incapacity to bond is just a bonus to his supernaturally accurate rifle.

⸸ Another theory I have is that the Marksman had always been incapable of it, even before the contract. A psychopath, essentially.

⸸ All we know from his entries was that he killed all of his loved ones, but even then, it is up to debate if he truly ever loved them, if he had a differing definition of 'love' is, or if he was hesitant to kill them.

⸸ That, and we can surmise from his flavour text that his seventh is the one currently still lodged in his heart.

⸸ And now that he is a Devil, there is really nothing stopping him from doing whatever. At least when he was a human, he would have been inhibited by human laws. Not anymore.

⸸ F-01-69 (hahahahaha funny internet number. I'm an adult, I swear) came to Lobotomy Corporation because he was bored...or feeling lazy. Why do I think so? Because I really doubt the facility captured him.

As one could see from his ability, he could shoot from anywhere in the facility through a portal that he can summon at will. For all we know, he could just walk right out of that place.

⸸ I don't think he is completely devoid of emotion. He can still feel them, but it is very weak and fleeting. At most, he would feel irritation, contentment, disappointment, and contempt...but never the strong ones that most of us value--and loathe. Happiness, love, hatred, grief, and hopelessness are all alien to him.

⸸ I like to imagine him having a sort of professional rivalry with Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary. Both are mercenaries with a lust for blood and violence, but are polar opposites in everything way.

⸸ Both are masters in their art, the difference is their style. ⸸ Little Red is reckless and explosive, and her attacks are always a barrage of different weapons. One moment, she is using her sickle swords. The next, she is shooting large holes on the walls with her dual shotguns. ⸸ Der Freischütz is controlled, and only ever uses his rifle. Because of it, he never misses his target. He isn't responsible for any of the casualties, that is their fault for being in the way.

⸸ Rivalry doesn't mean he dislikes her, though. Yes, he finds her methods ineffective (because surely, there are better ways than shooting bullets allover the place like a blitzkrieg). But out of everyone else here in the facility, she is the most competent, and similar to him.

⸸ If he ever finds an Agent similar in mindset to him, consider that person his new friend rival, because honestly, there aren't a lot of people who can keep him entertained for long, and likewise, there aren't that many he's willing to spend his time with.
