Feedback Needed: Danny Phantom Story Ideas

Exactly as it says on the tin: I have a few story ideas, but I need some input/feedback, not just likes. While they are mostly for worldbuilding purposes, I plan to give at least one of these an individual post.

These ideas are, to varying degrees, inspired by the numerous similarities between Danny and Peter Parker. Heck, TVTropes even lists him as an example under Spider-Man Send-Up.

Idea #1: Alternate Dannys

A while back, I stumbled upon @nastyburger‘s Dannyverse AU, which was clearly inspired by Into the Spider-Verse. While only five alternates showed up in the movie (not counting Miles Morales since it’s his world), there are a lot of parallel world Spiders in the comics and the Ultimate cartoon. I’m personally interested in seeing your takes on DP equivalents of the following alternates/worlds:

-Miles

-Noir

-2099

-MC2

Idea #2: Other Hero Parallels

Very little is known of the world outside Amity Park, the Ghost Zone, and ghost-related things. Honestly, who’s to say there aren’t any werebeasts, demons, witches, or fae, among other paranormal or otherwise not-so-ordinary things. Continuing the Danny/Peter comparison, it’s not unlike how the Raimi trilogy and Amazing duology gave us no information on whether or not any other Marvel heroes existed in their respective universes. Of course, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence--for all we know, the Raimiverse could have its own versions of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, etc.--but if we consider Danny a parallel to Spidey, what would his world’s equivalents of other Marvel heroes be like? You don’t even need to have said equivalents be obvious: for example, the Thor counterpart need not be a thunder deity or from Norse legend.

Idea #3: Phantom Phorce

As I mentioned earlier, we know practically nothing about the paranatural side that doesn’t involve ghosts, so the phandom is free to use their own ideas for how other supernatural beings work. I myself have an ‘expanded team’ concept which involves coming up with such ideas. While it’s far from complete, I’m happy to share what I’ve got so far in hopes of positive feedback and/or suggestions:

-Dash: Some of you may think I’m out of my mind, but considering Dash is clearly based on Flash Thompson, I’m surprised people haven’t compared the two more thoroughly. Flash has undergone a lot of character development since the webslinger’s early days, even becoming a hero in his own right as Agent Venom. Since there’s no obvious Venom parallel in DP canon, I’ve had to come up with my own--I’m not going too far into detail here, but I will say the counterpart to the Venom symbiote is demonic in origin.

(This particular idea is actually what started the ball rolling, which is why it comes first.)

-Sam: As it turns out, Sam’s part of a long line of hereditary witches, but her mother Pamela, who was unlucky enough to not have any powers (inherited magic occasionally skips a generation), did everything in her power to keep her powers from awakening. Unfortunately for Pamela, her attempts were all for nothing, as the ghost of her and Sam’s ancestor helped Sam discover and embrace her destiny.

-Tucker: Not wanting to be stuck on the sidelines, Tucker takes the position of ‘tech guy’ to the next level by implanting specialized microchips under his skin (with help from Danny’s intangibility powers). Said chips enable him to remotely hack and control all tech within a certain range, much like the ones Tony developed in Iron Man 3. I’m thinking of having him make other equipment himself, but I’m not sure of the specifics ATM.

-Star: After the ‘ghost flu’ affair (i.e. Doctor’s Disorders), those who were afflicted were required to have a bit of bloodwork done to make sure there wouldn’t be any negative aftereffects. Most of the results displayed nothing unusual, but Star’s blood revealed that her mother’s husband was not her biological father. However, it was not until just after Sam became a witch that Star began to experience several changes, culminating in her entering a flower bud-like cocoon. While she slept, she was contacted through her dreams by her birth father, who turned out to be one of the Fair Folk, making Star half fae.

I also intend to have Paulina and Kwan join the party, though I’m still working out the details for their roles--all I’ve decided so far is that Paulina becomes a werebeast (not sure what animal) and Kwan is an elemental (either earth or water). Valerie’s part of the team too, albeit as the ‘Badass Normal’ member.

Anyone interested in learning more about any of these ideas, feel free to send me an ask. Same goes for anyone who’s got a suggestion or two.

And They Were Quarantine Mates

An old disease has resurfaced on Earth- one which most humans recover from but is permanently lethal to Time Lords.

Because of this, the Doctor stays on Earth to make sure her humans make it through okay.

And because of the Doctor, the Master- against his better judgement- also chooses to stay.

Reluctant to leave the safety of the Doctor's Tardis, the Doctor and the Master find plenty of ways to pass the time but it can be difficult to enjoy each other's company with so many things left unsaid.

Good thing they have plenty of time in isolation to work it out.

Brand New Reality

In an alternate timeline: The Master is killed in the Time War but the Doctor finds a way to salvage his oldest friend's mind by binding it to his Tardis and building him an android vessel as a way to interact with the physical world.

The Doctor also manages to save the Time Lords from their war- but he is still a renegade in their eyes. As punishment, the High Council uses the Doctor- and by extension the Master- as their personal diplomats/field agents.

The Master isn't too happy about being trapped on the Doctor's Tardis, the Doctor is fed up with being the equivalent of a dog on a leash to the Time Lords, so in a moment of anger and also pure luck- they break out from their world and end up on a parallel one with a very different version of their universe and very different versions of themselves.

Series:

And They Were Happy Au Parts 1-4:

Part 1: Dinner and a Show

All his lives, the Master had always believed that he and the Doctor could hold on for about the same amount of time. He always imagined that when they reached their last lives, they would both give all this up and spend their retirement years bickering and raising bees or whatever. The Master didn't particularly like bees, but he had always imagined that the Doctor did and as long as they were together, that was enough to satisfy him.

What he had discovered in the Matrix had proved his ideal endgame impossible.

The revelation that the Doctor was The Timeless Child meant that the Doctor would always live on. They would always evolve and survive no matter what happened. The Doctor would always race to people in need; and now, they would never have any reason to stop.

"The Doctor did her best to space out her visits with O. For every couple adventures she had with her 'fam', she would stop by his home once or so. Sometimes she let months slip by, because she knew that the longer she waited, the less of O's limited time she used up.

She felt guilty to calculate it, but if O was already in his mid-thirties and he lived a full human life...

Suffice it to say, she wanted it to last for as long as possible. She had never had a situation as stable nor as safe as she now had with O. After everything they had both been through to get to this point, she refused to jeopardize a single moment.

For all the pain the Master had caused her, O was well worth the wait."

Prompt: "Right now, I don't know if I want to kiss you or shove you off a bridge!" "Can I pick?"

The Master’s Tardis had traced the call seven minutes in advance to this exact time and location. He pushed open his Tardis door to find himself in front of some no name bar with graffiti scrawled on the side, situated in front of an empty ravine. He was on Earth, and there was probably a similarly ramshackled city around him, but he didn’t so much as spare it a glance.

The Master’s steps were determined, his jaw clenched, and his hands shaking despite his signature device in hand.

He had been on the other side of the universe, licking his wounds like any old villain would when disappointed by their latest nemesis showdown. It all made his blood boil to have caved so soon. To come back and HELP the Doctor.

The Doctor still had O’s number and her call was scheduled to be made in exactly seven minutes. A hysterical, agonizing call that begged the Master to intervene. He wasn’t sure what was worse, hearing the Doctor in so much despair, or the disappointment that hearing her in such agony somehow didn’t lessen his own.

A Study In Stargate

*This one is a bit of a doozy so bare with me a bit.

All notations and theories presented are just theories(not necessarily facts) regarding what is known and what can be inferred from cannon and ambiguously cannon(the novels and RPGs) sources.

For the purposes of this study if an ambiguously cannon source directly contradicts cannon it is disregarded as being relevant to the main universe and should be regarded as occurring within an alternate reality.

~On with the study~

.

.

[What is a Stargate]

The Stargates are constructed of a tempered naquadah composite that is virtually indestructible through practical means.(impractical means would include destructive power such as destroying a planet or dropping the gate itself into a star)  Though this is only in the case of second and third generation designed gates as the proto-gates constructed and dropped by gate-seeder ships are seemingly a great deal more fragile and less powerful.

[The Begining]

The Stargates and their network were designed by The Ancients(Altara/Altarans) and originally conceptualized by the Altaran Amelius – the night before they left their original home galaxy(The galaxy occupied by the Ori).

Note: Given the presence of a Stargate on Celestius it seems that either there were plans for the creation left behind when the Altarans left or perhaps more likely the Ori reverse engineered them for themselves after finding one during their hunt for the Altarans.

Though it would seem that the first actual gate(Permanent non proto-gate) built may have been the gate on the world Dakara as the location of the first Altara settlement in the Milky Way/Avalon Galaxy.

Note: This would make the Dakaran gate the oldest gate in the Milky Way having predated even Earth’s 50 million year old Antarctic gate

After the settlement of Dakara and the expansion into the Milky Way/Avalon, the Altara built a series of ships to explore new galaxies and lay the framework for more gates as they went. One of such ships was Destiny, the survey ship that follows in a 2000 year wake of the seeder ships.

Note: there were at least three seeding type ships ahead of Destiny. Potentially one to catalog planets and resources(Such as naquadah and other proto-gate building materials), one to lay the glyph point network, and one to seed the gates. Leaving Destiny to be the one to autonomously initiate the gate networks.

Note 2: It would have been during that same time period that the facility known to the Tau'ri as 'Icurus Base' would have been built to facilitate the necessary eventual contact with Destiny.

Note 3: It would be 10 million years between the launch of Destiny and the founding of the Alliance of the Four Great Races(est. 40 mil prior to start of series), implying that perhaps Destiny and her sister ships were instramental in the first contact between the Altarans and the other three races.

[How does it work?]

Within the Stargate network a Stargate uses six unique glyphs to find an address in the local galaxy network(with an additional glyph to dial another galaxy) and a final glyph as a Point of Origin.  Each glyph represents a physical point in space within the local galaxy. The Point of Origin Glyph would hold the saved location data (the six glyph points that make up its own unique location) of the planet being dialed from.

Note: Given that planets and planetoids that are likely to have Stargates on or around them move a great deal(tending to be in habitable zones of their stars with much more rapid orbital period), the orientation of indicated by a gate address is likely referring to the surrounding solar system rather than an individual planet.

The implications of this would mean that multiple planets in a solar system would share the same gate address even if there were gates on multiple planets of the same solar system.

This being said a newly added gate can not dial out until it has connected with the already established DHD(which has a limited range – seemingly high orbit at most) or receives an incoming wormhole.

Meaning that in practice every world in that theoretical system would have to be a complete pair(Gate and DHD) on its own or an orbital path that brings them within range of the counterpart mechanism. Though they could create a very interesting Antarctica type scenario of being close but so much farther than they think.

On the gates themselves there are either 39(Milky Way/Avalon gates) or 36(Pegasus and Proto-gate networks) glyphs. From this we can surmise that after subtracting the unique Point of Origin Glyph from the count a gate network needs to have at least 35 points to properly work.

Note: Though Pegasus gates only have 35 spacial points and a Point of Origin Glyph,  Proto-gates seem to have 36 spacial glyphs being able to use any glyph as a substitute Point of Origin(kinda like pressing 'ENTER' rather than the typical journey path.)

With all Proto-gates behaving in the same way and being known predisesors to the second and third generation gates the implication is that perhaps all systems have a minimum of 36 spacial glyphs and for whatever reason the Pegasus system only uses 35 of them.

If a gate network only needs those 36 points to function that implies something special about the fact that the milky way gates have 38.

It uses these glyphs to connect with another gate found at that point in space and establishes a captive stable wormhole between them. Each gate in the pair takes on a specific role: the dialing gate converts the traveler into its most basic components (sub-atomic particles) and transmits it, while the receiving gate reassembles the transmitted matter back into its original form.

[Gate Sounds]

Each glyph on the gate has a corresponding sound attached to it so that a gate address may be spoken aloud.

Note: Though the glyphs can be used as a mathematical conversion and numbering system for the gate network itself, the sounds associated with the glyphs are not actually numbers but rather a mnemonic device.(Think variables. Like pi = π =3.1459..., the sound has a value attached to it but the sound itself is not a number)

While the Milky Way/Avalon gates have a mnemonic device attached to them most spoken addresses are unwieldy and unpronounceable. Shorthand for the naming of planets based on their gate address seems to be reading whatever the glyphs are on the center ring of a DHD counter clockwise from 6:00 position

Original Shorthands would have been (Dakara) Ravacla Fin De'shi- Declara, (Earth) Vabo'Othe Ze'ka-Theva

Note: Theva (Latin pronounces 'Th' as a sharp T and hard H separately rather than 'th'. Making it sound like T-hev-Ah.)would have morphed into Terra which would morph into Taura in Goa'uld thus creating the word Tau'ri- from Taura, which would change in definition over time to simply refer to all humans and colloquially defining how goa'uld view humans i.e. beasts of burden/vessels.

Note 2: Obviously this naming technique is not always accurate due to planets being renamed whether by their inhabitants,  by their conquerors, or words simply morphing over time. Not surprising since many of those names would be some 50 million years old and for the better part of three million years would only have been passed along verbally if passed down at all.

It would also theoretically allow for more than one planet to have the same shorthand

It is unknown if Pegasus gates ever had a similar mnemonic device attached to their glyphs or not. The only ones who would likely still know would be the wraith who as a primarily telepathic/nonverbal species would have no need for such a thing

Note: Most wraith only communicate with their fellow wraith through telepathy, as such verbal communication may actually be uncomfortable for them being physically unused to the task.

***Headcanon: The reason Todd talks so much is due to his imprisonment and functional solitary confinement with the Genii. Being unable to hear any other wraith he talks out loud to be able to hear something.

[Implications Part 1]

That being said it has been shown that third generation gate technology accessories – such as puddle jumpers – are capable of using second generation gates even though they are not constructed for use in the same local system. The implication here is that the gate system or perhaps the puddle jumper's onboard dialing computer is doing conversion math based on the numerical positioning of they glyphs on the gate itself.

Note: The inner track of Milky Way/Avalon gates spins clockwise and their default position is at rest over the Point of Origin Glyph(mostly because that’s always the last glyph dialed anyway) going by that logic the conversion from milky way to pegasus glyphs would be 1:1 going clockwise around the gate until reaching the end of the corresponding numbered glyphs.

However this means that puddle jumpers would be incredibly limited in their access on the Milky Way/Avalon network however due to the fact that their systems only have glyphs up to 36(including Point of Origin)

***Headcanon: While Atlantis is Earthbound the Tau’ri crews put number stickers on the puddle jumper dialer to remember what symbol goes where. (They’d make Sheppard annoyed and he’d spend a Sunday peeling them off.)

Given that an address has to be dialed in the proper order for it to connect to its assigned planet, each place in a gate address represents an actual spatial orientation.( for example: up, down, left, right, front, back) Using six addresses that share a the same glyph with each address using it in a different place we could find the physical location in space of that glyph and determine the orientation pattern of a gate address allowing the the ability to know where all the glyph points are in space.

Note: I feel like there would be an actual buoy(a buoy may be the most accurate term here as traditionally buoys are used for navigation as a location marker whether visual or digital relay), satellite, or star located at each of the glyph points allowing for the DHD to track the points and compensate for stellar drift. Something physically present though perhaps out of phase

Note 2: With the nature of the gate network’s automatic updates it feels like there should be a sort of equivalent to a hard drive somewhere in the galaxy that records the buoys location and that is what the DHDs(and potentially Destiny) calculate from rather than compensating for nearly forty unique points in space drifting for thousands of years every time it dials.

Buoys would ping to the network harddrive. And the network harddrive would ping to an active DHD.

Given that the Point of Origin Glyph is actually a shorthand of the dialing gate's own spacial address this means that a gate can't dial out unless it 'knows' where it is, thus an incoming wormhole to establish its connection with its DHD(hence teaching its DHD where it is relative to the glyph-points) or a pre-established gate system is needed.

Note:This would give reason to why the gate aboard Apophis's ship could not be used to escape even after they dropped out of hyperspace even though there was a DHD present

With this in mind and conceiving of the fact that the gate system is capable of dialing every gate simultaneously. It is implied that there was a single point that dialed all other gates to 'set' their Point of Origin Glyphs.

The problem with this situation is that for a single point to commit a mass dial the system would have to already have a known location point. At the beginning of the gate system the only established location points would be the glyph-points themselves. As all the glyph-points are counted as stationary values being calculated none of them could have been the origin of the first dialing. This means that the first system dial would have had to have been done by a known value that was not part of the calculating values.

In a proto-gate network all glyphs on the gate are used as locational markers with Destiny acting as a real time drift calculator and DHD. The implication of this means that all 36 symbols on the gate have a corresponding physically located glyph-points.

The only glyph on a Stargate that is not part of spacial calculations in second and third generation gates is the Point of Origin glyph.

The implications of this are that the Point of Origin glyph-point has both a physical location within the local gate network and a means in which to dial out – making it the location that would have been responsible for the original mass dial that established the gate network in the first place. Once the mass dial was done the DHDs would save  their own locations to the Point of Origin glyph and the glyph-point's actual location would be lost.

For the Point of Origin glyph-point to be the origin of the first system dialing it would have to have a archive of all the other glyph-points and the original gate addresses placed.

Note: This is what makes the most sense as Destiny has the ability to recall addresses to worlds  in a galaxy that is new to it(as its journey is one that moves ever forward rather than crossing paths it has already been to). Meaning that its getting its information from somewhere.

And with its sister-ships being two thousand years of travel time ahead of it they are doubtfully within reach for quick information access.

It would have to act as a sort of mainframe for maintaining the entire local galaxy's gate network. This location would have to hold all the data of the gate network including a full and complete atlas of gate-baring worlds within the local system and a sort of hard drive that would maintain precise spacial coordinates of every glyph-point, which it would relay to the DHDs as periodic network updates.

*from here one the Point of Origin glyph-point will be referred to as the Archive Point

(A/N:...this sounds a little too eerie ...did Ba'al find the gate network harddrive?)

Note: The idea of Ba’al having found such a system or device as the core of the Milky Way gate network isnt too terribly far fetched as Dakara was held deep within his own territory for much of his reign.

[Implications Part 2]

Mathematically calculations start with 0 instead of 1(this was made a big deal in series by Carter). Zero is the starting point and the collective idea of 'where you are now/begin' thus in and of itself it is its own set of coordinates. It would be no different within the complex calculations of the Stargate system. For all intents and purposes 'AT' – the Point of Origin glyph and the first glyph on the gate –  would represent Glyph Zero in the gate's calculations between worlds and galaxies.

On most worlds the DHD is missing a glyph(not the Point of Origin). This missing glyph is not always the same one, indicating that certain points can not be safely called upon from certain areas of the galaxy.

Note: This means that Earth's use of a dialing computer over a DHD is yet again capable of circumventing safety protocols built into the gate network by its creators (~Sigh~ Damn Tau’ri).

If one knew the physical locations of the missing glyph-points they could map out the space between the worlds with missing glyphs and their corresponding glyph-points. With enough of these missing glyph worlds mapped there would be an intersection that would indicate where something was being avoided.

The gate network is millions of years old and seems to disregard most spacial anomalies that may occur within a travel path. This leaves the question of what would be enough of a hazard that the gate system would not allow a traveler to pass through?

It has been shown that large scale disturbances such as black holes and other cosmic events can affect gate travel meaning while it isn't a visible stream going from one place to another it is a physical presence capable of being interacted with to some extent(similar to being out of phase was portrayed).

It has been implied that Ring technology and Stargate technology function on similar principals with magnitude and distance being the defining differences between them. With this in mind that would lend the idea that there is an object between the missing glyph worlds and the worlds with addresses baring those glyphs that would either prevent travel or cause damage if traveled through.

Operating under the idea that Stargates and Rings function similarly then theoretically an un-designated Stargate (one without a DHD to give it an address) could 'catch' an incoming wormhole if it was positioned exactly between those points.

With that in mind it is possible that the disconnected space could be the location of the Archive Point. A Stargate that has no address within the system. As the Archive Point would be subject to automatic mass dialings to update and maintain the entire gate network trying to gate elsewhere from there would have the possibility of ending very badly(solid matter being transported through multiple wormholes doesn’t sound good) Thus having the possibility of even crossing over it by accident would be problematic.

(A/N) Now I need me a SG1 grade goof up scenario where the team accidentally finds the most important piece of the entire gate system by sheer dumb luck and the broken safety protocols of using an Earth made supercomputer in place of a DHD.

[Going Further than Before]

Within the gate network the commonly used seven glyph address reaches planets within the same galaxy.

With the addition of an eighth glyph the gate becomes capable of reaching worlds in other galaxies. Though achieving an eight glyph lock requires a specialized control crystal within the outbound gate's DHD (or just using the SGC's dialing computer). The seventh non-origin glyph in an eight symbol address is not a locational marker as with a standard address but rather a network extension.

The glyph in question would be defined by numerical value assigned to local networks seeded by Destiny and its sister ships as they were reached over the course of their journey. This would explain why a jury-rigged power generator was enough to reach Othala in the Ida Galaxy(Seventh glyph is #9) while a ZPM was required to reach Lantea in the Pegasus Galaxy(seventh glyph #20).

Note: Something odd to note on this matter is that the Milky Way/Avalon galaxy has a seventh glyph of 3. Implying that it was not in fact the first galaxy the Altara tried to settle and plant gates in.

With the Milky Way gates having 39 glyphs and Pegasus and Proto-Gate networks having 36 glyphs the network would have a design flaw of only being able to go as far as 39 galaxies out from the Milkey way and even fewer from Pegasus and the Proto networks. This would indicate why they instituted the 9 symbol address lock to gate to Destiny directly. Past a certain point it would have been impossible for them to reach the ship otherwise. And yet the logs aboard Destiny indicate that that Destiny and the gate-seeder ships have seeded more than sixty galaxies with Stargates.

Under very specific conditions(thus far only shown to exist on two known planets) a nine symbol address can be entered and this causes a complex series of equations to be pinged within the Stargate network to pinpoint the gate aboard Destiny.

As it is known that the Altara always played the long game with everything they did it wouldn't make sense for them to even passively go through the effort of seeding so many galaxies without having the ability to reach them. Something that, even with the ability to dial Destiny, would eventually be lost to them without alternative methods.

This implies that the network itself has the means to connect to those additional galaxies. With the maximum possible number of galaxies to be contacted it would have intended to use the 38th galaxy as a buffer point to reach any further galaxies.

This would also explain why the Milky Way/Avalon gates are different than Pegasus/Destiny gates as the Milky Way/Avalon gate system is both a local and intergalactic network hub. The 38th galaxy would be a second gate network hub.

Note: Given that the Milky Way/Avalon network seems to be both a hub network and not the first in its sequence it is unknown if the other two local networks prior to it would have been attempted to be hub networks as well or are simpler local networks like those of Pegasus

Potentially, given that they would predate Destiny's launch, they would be second generation styled gates like those in the Milky Way/Avalon Galaxy(Dakara being the oldest known gate in existence is still of the far sturdier second generation style gate design) but only having the 36 glyphs of a Pegasus and Proto-gate system.(making them reachable within the system but not really part of the fully fleshed plan to the grand scope of the gate network as a whole)

Likely the gate networks of those galaxies themselves would have been much smaller especially if the reason for them being left behind was the Altarans trying to put more distance between them and the Ori. There might have only been a handful of gates in the networks at all, only connecting to Altaran occupied worlds or worlds with resources vital to them.

Note 2: With the possibility of either a reverse engineered stand-alone network or a stolen concept network existing in the Ori home galaxy and without the set up of Destiny and her sister-ships or even the gate network as a whole the Ori galaxy should have been cut off. For it to be used to connect to the main established network of Stargates would require negative calculations within the gate system itself.

Following this logic any further galaxies in the second network hub would use glyph 1 for the 38th galaxy while the 38th galaxy would use a double Point of Origin address(where both the 7th and 8th glyphs are the Point of Origin – The mathematical Glyph 0 –  to reach the hub galaxy previous to it.

This would create a bridge along hub networks with each one down the line dialing a double Point of Origin address to reach the one prior to it while the one prior would simply dial its 38th galaxy glyph. Hub network points would fall in galaxies 3(Milky Way/Avalon because...reasons?), 38, 76, 114,  and so on. This bridge type system would allow them to circumvent the ever increasing power requirements of further travel as well as ultimately removing a projected limit to the number of gate systems.

***Headcannon: What happens to reach Destiny so many galaxies away is the Archive Point(the hard drive of the gate network) initiates a gate buffer bridge(like the Carter-McKay Gate Bridge only much much bigger) to conserve as much energy as it can to send travelers directly to Destiny.

However each link in the bridge is an intergalactic dial along hub galaxies and requires a guaranteed massive amount of power to begin with, thus reaching Destiny requires exorbitant amounts of energy.

Icarus-Class planets have unique high energy naquadria cores allowing for large amounts of power on demand(making the entire planet's core functionally one big naquadah generator). For that reason they are the only worlds that receive gates with DHDs capable of running the nine chevron program code regardless of the presence of all nine chevrons on all gates. And thus the only gates that would be used in the Destiny Bridge buffer dial would be on Icarus-Class planets.

This also entails that one of Destiny's sister-ships must scan the entirety of a hub galaxy to find an Icarus-Class planet to settle a prime gate on to continue on its chain. Unfortunately this means that if a Hub-galaxy loses its Icarus-Class planet then any connection to Destiny will be lost with it.

You see, I'm perfect, my strength is perfect, and with that I shall bring equally perfect destruction through the rest of the universe."COMBINE YOUR STRENGTH! THE FINAL KAMEHAME-HA!"

Cell (セル, Seru) is the ultimate creation of Dr. Gero, designed via cell recombination[1] using the genetics of the greatest fighters that the remote tracking device could find on Earth. The result was a "perfect warrior", possessing numerous favorable genetic traits and special abilities from Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, Frieza and King Cold.

He was one of the few Red Ribbon Androids not directly completed by Dr. Gero, instead being completed by Dr. Gero's Supercomputer in an alternate timeline. He is the main antagonist of the Imperfect Cell, Perfect Cell, and Cell Games Sagas.

Appearance

Some initial sketches of Cell (Daizenshuu 4)As a being with several transformations, Cell's appearance varies depending on the form he is in.

In his larval form, Cell resembles a large four-legged cicada with long, V-shaped horns on its head and a face similar to that of the remote tracking device.

In his Imperfect form, Cell has transitioned to walking upright and has a humanoid shape, but retains many insectoid features from his previous form, including his horns, beak-like mouth, three-toed feet, and segmented armor. In this form, he has sprouted wings similar to those of a beetle, along with a long tail affixed to the middle of his back that ends with a "stinger" used to absorb other life forms.

In Semi-Perfect form, obtained after absorbing Android 17, Cell's wings disappear, and he becomes more humanoid and muscular in appearance. His horns now point upward and form a crown shape, and his face, though possessing a comically large-lipped mouth and lacking a nose, has taken the general shape of a human face. Cell's feet lose their toes and instead resemble shoes, though his tail remains much the same as it was in his Imperfect form.

Cell becomes fully humanoid in his Perfect form gained from absorbing Android 18, complete with a normal nose and mouth. His tail has been completely retracted, only the stinger remaining. This form is somewhat shorter and lighter than the previous one, being 7 feet in height. His wings have grown back, but he retains the shoe-like feet and upward-pointing horns from Semi-Perfect form. Purple stripes now run down each side of his face, similar to those of Frieza in his first three forms.

While Perfect, Cell can take on a Super Saiyan Third Grade and Power Stressed form, each similar to his base Perfect form but with grossly enlarged muscles and, in the Power Stressed state, greater size.

Cell also possesses a Super Perfect State, identical in appearance to his Perfect form, but with the added electrified aura of a Super Saiyan 2.

Personality

You fool! Don't you realize yet you're up against the perfect weapon?!"SAVE THE WORLD"

Cell has an original personality engineered by Gero's computer to combine the character traits of his genetic constituents which would be most useful for a perfect weapon.[2] Because his genetic composition includes DNA from Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo, he is aware of their weaknesses and is therefore able to exploit them in battle. However, Cell's overall personality changes drastically with each transformation. 

Initially, Cell is completely single-minded in the pursuit of his goals and is very cautious, sneaky, cunning, knowledgeable, and calculating in achieving his main goal of perfection. Upon reaching his first transformation, he becomes far more brash and impulsive in his actions, relying less on strategy and more on brute force, often becoming clouded and losing his ability to think rationally when things don't go his way. However, he does retain at least some degree of a strategic mind, as he got the idea to exploit Vegeta's arrogant desire for a challenge to manipulate him into allowing him to absorb 18. Upon reaching perfection, Cell displays a number of traits shared by those whose cells he possesses; Piccolo's cunning, Vegeta's pride, Goku's laid-back disposition, Frieza's smugness (as well as some of his psychopathy), and the Saiyan lust for battle. In this form, he is also shown to be very calm and genuinely polite, albeit arrogant, until he loses the upper hand in combat. Ironically, the arrogance Vegeta displayed to allow Cell to achieve his perfect form was the same that Cell used to force Gohan to awaken his hidden powers, leading him, as it had led Vegeta, to his own downfall. Another of Cell's most distinguishable traits in this form is his uninhibited vanity, which he shamelessly displays by launching the Cell Games, a tournament organized solely to show off his newfound power. It's also obvious during Cell's confrontation with Gohan when he affirms his true purpose: the annihilation of anything he considers imperfect--everyone and everything but himself. When he is outmatched, however, he quickly becomes desperate and loses his rational approach, making several critical mistakes.

As Imperfect Cell, Cell is completely single-minded in the pursuit of his goals to complete his evolution, as he is extremely eager to discover what attaining perfection would feel like. His desire is to absorb both Android 17 and Android 18. Imperfect Cell is very cautious, sneaky, cunning, and calculating; he does not chase after the Androids directly since he knows he cannot beat them before he absorbs enough human energy. Although obsessed with attaining perfection, Cell was willing to temporarily put aside his plans to absorb 17 and 18 if it meant that he had to deal any possible threat to his plans, as seen how he chose to dispatch Piccolo and attempted to do so with 16 rather than immediately going after 17 and 18.

However, despite his usually cautious and savvy nature, Imperfect Cell could still be seen to be somewhat arrogant and narcissistic, seen by how he openly revealed his plans to Piccolo when under the impression that he had won.

After he achieves his Semi-Perfect form, Cell no longer cares about absorbing other creatures, and becomes obsessed with finding Android 18 to complete his quest for perfection. He also becomes slightly more arrogant and narcissistic because of his power increase, as well as rash and impatient. His arrogance is short-lived though; he is easily outclassed by Vegeta's Super Saiyan Second Grade form. After finding that his Semi-Perfect form is no match for his opponent, Cell convinces Vegeta to allow him to absorb Android 18 to attain the Perfect Form (which he is able to do as he appeals to Vegeta's ego and the natural Saiyan drive to fight stronger opponents, both of which Cell is aware of, as he possesses Vegeta's cells). He is also prone to tantrums when things don't go his way. This is best evidenced when he was unable to find Android 18 and proceeded to blow up several islands in an attempt to force her to come out, not caring if his energy blasts resulted in her destruction if she tried to continue hunker down.

According to his bios in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and Budokai Tenkaichi 3, in his new form, he seems to feel that he is the most powerful living specimen on the planet, and it is suggested that this arrogant attitude may have been influenced by Vegeta's genes (meaning Vegeta's cells may become more prominent while in this form, which seems to be supported by the fact he uses at least two of Vegeta's signature moves in this form, albeit only in the anime: Galick Gun and a modified Big Bang Attack). It may also be due to his absorption of Android 17 and the genes of Frieza, both of whom are very egotistical, arrogant, narcissistic, and intolerant of the idea of anyone being better than themselves. To further support the notion of his superiority, Android 16, who barely survives his brief encounter with this form of Cell, thinks to himself that there should be no one in the universe ready to challenge him at this point (and that it is odd how he is still so obsessed with achieving completion), until this preconception is shattered by Cell's embarrassment against the self-proclaimed "Super Vegeta".

After absorbing No. 18 and becoming perfect, Cell becomes significantly more arrogant and narcissistic in this form, due to the massive increase in power. After attaining the perfect form he had long desired, Cell admitted to Trunks that he had found himself with no other purpose, even killing Goku, which was Dr. Gero's intended purpose for Cell, did not seem to satisfy him. Thus, he saw his Cell Games as the opportunity to discover a new purpose; to test his new-found power. This could also be attributed by his own vanity.

In this form, Cell gains Frieza's polite mannerisms (though without the snide sarcasm) and ruthlessly sadistic personality, relishing in seeing people terrified, as he admitted to Future Trunks when he revealed his intention for the Cell Games. This was further shown in the anime, while waiting for the Cell Games, he chose to terrorize the people of Earth simply for his own amusement. Akira Toriyama himself surmised that the concept behind the Cell Games may have been influenced by King Piccolo's cells which makes sense as King Piccolo also enjoyed terrorizing the people of Earth in a similar manner and both broadcasted their evil intentions on television just to instill fear into Earth's population. Thus he possesses the villainous traits from King Piccolo, Vegeta, and Frieza.

Much like Goku, Cell seems to take on a carefree and laid-back attitude, not losing any form of his composure until he was faced with the prospect of a being stronger than him. Cell has adopted Goku's, as well as Vegeta's, desire to battle strong opponents, which was another purpose of the Cell Games. The fact that prior to facing Super Saiyan 2 Gohan, Cell still chose to hold back his full power, Cell was willing to handicap himself in order to challenge his own limits. Despite this, however, if Cell finds that his opponents were not adequate challenges, he would not hesitate to finish the battle quickly or discontinue it, reflecting his arrogance. Before fighting Gohan, Cell saw Goku as the only worthy opponent and displayed excitement when fighting him. Cell even expressed discontent and outrage when Goku had decided to forfeit his battle against Cell.

Traumnovelle is a militant faction founded by three Belgian architects: Léone Drapeaud, Manuel León Fanjul and Johnny Leya. Traumnovelle uses architecture and fiction as analytical, critical and subversive tools to emphasize contemporary issues and dissect their resolutions. Traumnovelle alternates between cynicism and enthusiasm all the while advocating for critical thinking in architecture. Traumnovelle champions a multi-disciplinary approach with architecture at the crossroads. Traumnovelle distances itself from current forms of naive architecture and refuses to glorify the mundane. Traumnovelle sides with those who have not sacrificed ambition and criticism.

Subversion is in the content, in the style, in the form. It lies on the surface and the practice of the image, in the visuals and the principles ordering them as a sequence. Subversion is in thinking cinema, it is in sensing cinema.

The first major critical study of subversion in cinema is Film as a Subversive Art. It was 1974 when the first edition of Amos Vogel’s book came out – numerous editions and translations quickly followed (in French in 1977, in German in 1979), making the volume something of a classic in accounts of avant-gardism in cinema, a classic of subversion. This might sound contradictory: how can something subversive in and of itself, something overcoming the constraints of the canon, be a classic? This is one of the fascinating aspects of the relationship between cinema and the idea of subversion, and one of the questions this curatorial project addresses. Vogel’s book is then the anchor of this exhibition, not only because of its iconic status as a critical work but because it connects cinematic subversion in the former Eastern European sphere to international currents through the use of an image from Dušan Makavejev’s subversive masterpiece WR: Mysteries of the Organism (1971) on the cover.

This exhibition aims at following such a two-fold path, by offering a synthetic survey charting international histories of cinematic subversion. The concept is focused on presenting classical examples from the ex-Yugoslav region and connecting them to their counterparts in other regions, putting them in dialogue with other international practitioners. Inspired by unexpected continuities, by visual, symbolic, and conceptual echoes, the moving image component of the exhibition forwards the idea of subversion by coupling a number of works on the basis of their shared, albeit profoundly multifaceted, radical attitude. Because we believe cinematic subversion overcomes medium-specific constraints the exhibition is cross-disciplinary, including not only films and videos, but also books, new media, and more. 

DON’T BELIEVE IN SUBVERSION

(an exhibition curated by Greg de Cuir Jr & Miriam de Rosa) 

The title of the exhibition references an early kino club film by Makavejev titled Don’t Believe in Monuments (1958, 5 min., film transferred to video, collection AFC Belgrade). This film was banned for a number of years due to its heavy eroticism and also the erroneous belief that the statue that the woman makes love to in the film depicted a wounded Partisan fighter. It did not – lending credence to Makavejev’s polemical title and also encouraging us to take a skeptical, self-critical stance to the very ideological construction of this exhibition. We have drawn a parallel to Makavejev’s film with fragments from the film Consumer Art (1972, 1974-1975, 16 min., 16mm transferred to video, courtesy of lokal_30, Warsaw) by the uncompromising Polish feminist artist Natalia LL. Her erotic images of various women (including herself) consuming edible items in overtly suggestive ways comments on the nature of consumer culture in Socialist Poland while also subverting the use value of everyday groceries.

The film Scusa Signorina (1963, 7 min., 16mm transferred to video, collection HFS Zagreb) by Mihovil Pansini is the anthemic example of antifilm, which Pansini initiated and theorized as subverting and ultimately negating the very idea of cinema and cinema aesthetics. We have linked Pansini’s work with the video Scanner Pack (2017, 7 min., video, courtesy of the artist) by the Ecuadorian-Spanish artist Karla Tobar Abarca. The artist was kind enough to accept our invitation and to edit a new cut of her video in direct response to Scusa Signorina. The installation of this video therefore serves as its premiere. These two works offer a complementary interpretation of the coordinates characterising the position of the camera in space, and its corporeality and relationship to the filmmaker’s body. Worn pointing backwards, Pansini’s camera explores the city of Zagreb, unveiling overlooked details, showing unfamiliar perspectives employed to frame the urban space. Conversely, Abarca’s Scanner Pack, also meant to be worn pointing backwards, but in fact subverting such an orientation, embodies a hacking system that disrupts the way in which we navigate that same urban space. The back pack employs a scanning technology device to focus on the physical contact, the materiality, and the surfaces of the city.

The film Blue Rider (1964, 12 min., 16mm transferred to video, collection AFC Belgrade) by Tomislav Gotovac is subversive cinema by way of subversive action. The artist’s legendary strategy of entering various cafes in Belgrade unannounced and confronting the clientele and staff with a film camera was a very risky affair. Film cameras did not often make intrusions into everyday life in Socialist Yugoslavia, and therefore the apparatus itself is the carrier of subversive potential, upsetting the status quo and transforming it into unique visible evidence. Gotovac’s film is compared with The Searchers (2016, 2 min., video, courtesy of the artist), a video by Kevin L. Ferguson that uses frame grabs summed in sequence to subvert and transform the visual style of John Ford’s canonical Western. Gotovac’s film features the usage of a readymade soundtrack lifted from the classical television series Bonanza. Sharing this Western background, Blue Rider and Ferguson’s The Searchers exemplify very differently what subversion may well mean: while the former tackles this topic by focusing on the combination of film and life, emphasising the everyday and spontaneity as counter-elements mitigating the pretentions of a scenario, the latter reshapes Ford’s film, offering a visual reinterpretation of filmic time and image which relies instead upon a sophisticated technical process based on a composition of frame grabs taken every 10 seconds. Ferguson’s work looks like a true visual tapestry whose threads are multilayered images thickening the digital grain of the film’s perceptive materiality.

Black Film (1971, 14 min., 16mm transferred to video, courtesy of the artist) by Želimir Žilnik takes an interventionist, socially-engaged stance toward subversion. The artist appears in this film on the street, investigating the homeless situation in Novi Sad, Serbia, eventually bringing a number of vagrants to his apartment so they can sleep for the night and figure out a solution to their condition. Of course, there is no solution. The ultimate message is not dissimilar to Makavejev’s subversive polemics: don’t believe in socio-critical film. Žilnik’s self-critical realism is a subversive act par excellence for artists who display a fervent, idealistic humanism in their work. The link here is with the film Batrachian’s Ballad (2016, 11 min., 16mm transferred to video, courtesy of Portugal Film) by Leonor Teles, which won the Golden Bear for Short Film at the Berlinale. Teles’ work is an anti-racist intervention into the status quo of Portuguese society – into the very places of business that structure Portuguese society. Her action consists of filming herself rushing into stores, stealing the green porcelain frogs that shopkeepers display to symbolize a warding off of the presence of Roma people, and smashing them on the concrete. This is literally a destructive cinema, an unruly and anarchic cinema, moving the act of subversion into ethically-questionable territory – which it should never be afraid to do, if we are to believe in subversion.

This exhibition also presents a literary section comprising the following key publications that chart the various contours of cinematic subversion: Vogel’s Film as a Subversive Art (French edition, 1977); the large-format anthology Film and Revolution Today, edited by Dušan Makavejev and Lazar Stojanović in connection with the curated film program Confrontation (Belgrade FEST, 1971); Želimir Žilnik’s manifestos ‘Black Film’ and ‘This Festival is a Graveyard’ (Belgrade Short and Documentary Film Festival/Sineast #13-14, 1971); Richard Porton’s Film and the Anarchist Imagination (1999); the catalog for Sergio Grmek Germani’s curated film program Socialism (Subversive Film Festival Zagreb, 2010); the online journal Now! A Journal of Urgent Praxis, which exemplifies the subversive elements of open access publication projects.

When interviewed by Scott MacDonald, Amos Vogel claimed that the ‘common denominator’ of the films he selected for his Cinema 16 screening space is that ‘they created a disturbance in the status quo […] they would disturb you in some way, would add to your knowledge and make you change’.[1] Inspired by the research that Vogel developed over many years of curating, the works in this exhibition represent that radical spirit. They offer new ways of seeing, unpredictable practices, unexpected actions, and alternative appraisals of the moving image and the discourses that surround it.

Mercilessly Judging the Camus Archetype

Per request by Markoftheasphodel, here’s a bonus round of the Mercilessly Judging series, in which I’ll be using my discriminating taste and considerable experience with hot (and not-so-hot) gay sex to grade that most curious of Fire Emblem character archetypes, the Camus. What was probably intended to be written as a figure out of classical tragedy has instead morphed into an only occasionally tragic sex symbol, because that’s what you get when your namesake is the male equivalent of Helen of Troy. Since I like my men like I like my roux - rich, seasoned, and thick in just the right places - I’m especially well-equipped for this undertaking.

The Arbitrary Requirements

Slotting characters into FE archetypes can be a slippery business, and so to get that part out of the way first I’ve settled on the criteria I’ll be using to determine who will end up on this list. These guys must possess at least three of the following traits:

Unrecruitable, at least in the main game or the game/route in which they fulfill the Camus role

Unwavering loyalty toward his country and/or a major antagonist

Blond

Black armor/clothing

A legendary weapon

A paladin or other horse-mounted class

They must also be male, both because I am absolutely not the person to ask when it comes to judging women and because the female Camus, a.k.a. the Ishtar, comes with traits of her own, such as a greater predisposition toward magic and a romantic inclination toward the antagonist to whom she’s loyal. The latter trait is obviously absent from their male counterparts, except in Tellius because of course.

Camus/Zeke/Sirius - Camus classic

This man’s dick has caused world wars. It’s that amazing. Has identity issues that are only worsened by his roleplaying and use of aliases. Long-term value is questionable as he has a tendency to outlive the countries he serves...but hey, at least he has a long term unlike half the guys here.

9/10 - The greatest sex you will ever have, but loses a point because when it comes time to settle down it’ll be pretty low-rent.

Eldigan - Camus père

An idiot, but not as much of an idiot as his two college buddies. His sister wants to sleep with him. Is the only guy on this list to have spawned a little Camus of his own (Shiro and Siegbert don’t count.).

5/10 - Suffers from a short amount of screentime and loyalty to a mere arc villain, and not even an interesting one at that. Saved only by brother kink.

Ares - Camus fils

The aforementioned little Camus. Wishes he was as cool as his dad, but at least he’s recruitable. Has no sister to get all hot and bothered, but he’s got a first cousin for that as well as an orphaned prostitute dancer. 

7/10 - Actually gets to be a king in the end, but Naga help Agustria if he doesn’t have competent people supporting him. Also...cousin kink, maybe?

Reinhardt - magic Camus

So threatening as a boss that the only safe strategy for his map is apparently warpskipping. Does not want to bone his sister even though this is Jugdral, and he gets cockblocked by the setting equivalent of the Antichrist possessing the body of a teenage boy. Harsh.

4/10 - Too waifish for the role. Is much better in Heroes, or so I’ve heard.

Perceval - gay Camus

The smartest man on this list since he sees the wisdom in joining up with the fifteen-year old ginger with the inexplicably gigantic harem on the word of his boyfriend - or a prostitute dancer who happens to know his boyfriend, close enough. Is what Elffin will be coming home to after he’d done traveling the world doing Bard Things.

10/10 - FE6 needs a remake just for him. Who wouldn’t want to come home to such a devoted retainer?

Galle - flying Camus

Has the honorable but doomed soldier and tragic unattainable love interest parts of the role down pat, but kind of an outlier otherwise. He’s more like Arion redux, who’s not on this list because I kind of forgot about him. Oops.

3/10 - He and Arion have the option to not die, I guess? Kind of takes the wind out of the whole loyalty thing. A real Camus puts his loyalty to his nation above the needs of his dick, guys.

Murdock - roadblock Camus

See, now here’s an FE6 anti-villain Camus done right. Not very interesting, mind you, but he gets the point. To think that the entire game wouldn’t have happened if he’d just been a better babysitter.

4/10 - Too bulky, too purple, and too dead. More than two decades of service to wind up as the least engaging Camus is a game piled full of them. That’s his real tragedy.

Linus - ‘roid rage Camus

Allergic to shirts and seriously needs to calm down. He might look like perfect one-night stand material, but that’s not the Camus way.

6/10 - Misses the mark, but I wouldn’t kick him out of bed. Is very...attached to his brother. Best enjoyed as a pair.

Lloyd - goatee Camus

The least Asian swordmaster boss ever. Embraces tranquility in the face of death befitting of the archetype much better than his brother.

6/10 - Equally as hot in his own way, even if it’s still non-standard. His Heroes artwork is a new degree of heinous, though.

Bryce - old Camus

The Rider of Daein no one cares about, least of all Ashnard. At least he’s packing a legendary lance, the confusingly-named Wishblade. 

3/10 - Is not too likely to die since his boss has a much bigger movement range, but is also not too likely to have any kind of resolution. Might have been better in his prime.

Levail - uke Camus

His loyalty to a man who’s never going to give him the D is beyond reproach, mostly because that man is also a Camus dealing with his own cocktease situation. That’s just how Sephiran likes to keep his underlings in line.

4/10 - Very definitely a bottom. Presumably commits suicide if you kill Zelgius before him since he knows he’ll never get laid now.

Zelgius - dramatic Camus

Is Ike’s foil down to his having to choose between a bishonen caster and his faithful lieutenant, but Zelgius chose poorly in the end. Props for pulling off the Black Knight schtick with far more gravity than any Camus before or since. It’s hard to beat a concealed identity and a dramatic reveal. Or cold-blooded murder.

7/10 - Gets a sexy shirtless scene and numerous guys who want his cock (including Valtome, to everyone’s displeasure), but he remains true to his archetype in the end by standing by the one man who’ll definitely get him killed.

Yen’fay - Asian Camus

Asian racial stereotyping in a Japanese-made game...so confusing. He fights you in an active volcano, which is pretty badass. Also, his Spotpass recruitment doesn’t cancel out his death thanks to alternate universe shenanigans. Imagine that.

2/10 - Has non-sexy sister angst and...not all that much else, really. Since he’s a stereotype he presumably has a tiny dick.

Xander - woobie Camus

A sensitive soul carrying around a lot of familial trauma who longs for a loving father and a fabulous pink ensemble. Not psychologically cut out to be a Camus and he knows it, but funny what accidentally murdering your own sister will do for your motivation. Likes to spout contradictory ideas about the nature of justice to disguise his own fatalism...or because the writers were sloppy.

8/10 - Has way too many issues to be all that stable, but he’s undeniably hot and plays his part to a tee. Would ride his giant carrot any day.

Ryoma - shonen Camus

Blew off Camus class because it was too Eurocentric for him, so all he knows is how to be arrogant and dickish and then commit ritual suicide at exactly the right time to make you cry over how good and honorable he was. Would have been significantly more palatable if the story ever acknowledged that he’s kind of an asshole.

5/10 - Actually is the head of state during his tenure as a Camus, but he’s clearly been cast in the wrong role. In the endgame boss gauntlet ranks below the Obviously Evil minor villain duo...fail.

Berkut - psychotic Camus

First fully-voiced Camus, and he’s doing a lot better there than Zeke. Goes off the deep end in a terrible way, killing both his fiancée and his gay hanger-on in the process. Still has undeniable style and gravitas for a remake addition.

7/10 - The explicit afterlife redemption leaves a bit of a sour note, but it’s easy to see why Fernand wants him so badly. Let’s hope that his obvious inadequacy issues aren’t stemming from anything below the belt.

Lord s birthday.

Mary Also known as Lady in Heaven Virgin Mary.

Heavenly Mother and the wife of God the Father.

This last woman, who sets in motion the entire rescue operation, can only be Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus according to Dante’s faith.

The Blessed Virgin of the Comedy is the Blessed Virgin of Christian faith. One of the unfortunate and doubtless unintended effects of the Reformation has been to create among many believers suspicion as to Mary’s role in the plan of salvation. What need have we for any mediator but Christ himself? Devotion to Mary is thought to intrude between the soul and God, or to divert the soul in its journey to God. It is a commonplace that many converts found the Catholic emphasis on Mary a great obstacle to be overcome.

“Lady” (birth name: Mary) - Named after The Blessed Virgin Mary who appears in The Divine Comedy as a symbol of Divine Mercy to aid poet Dante Alighieri on his quest calling on  Beatrice to assist him. “Lady” is likely a reference to one of the virgin’s other names, “Madonna” (Italian for “Lady”).

Lord name meaning:

A name for God or Christ.

Lord is better reserved as the male counterpart for Lady

A person with the ability or power to use, control,or dispose of something

A man of noble rank or high office; a nobleman.

An owner of a slave, animal, etc. An employer of workers or servants. The male head of a household. A person who has authority, control, or power over others; a master, chief, or ruler. A person who exercises authority from property rights; an owner of land, houses, etc. A person whose teachings others accept or follow:

A Zen master. Being master; exercising mastery; dominant.

To conquer or overcome

A person with exceptional skill at a certain thing

A person who is a leader or has great influence in a chosen profession

Supreme God of Heaven, Heavenly Father and husband  of Heavenly Mother Mary.

In monotheism, God is conceived of as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith. The concept of God as described by most theologians includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), divine simplicity, and as having an eternal and necessary existence. Many theologians also describe God as being omnibenevolent (perfectly good) and all loving.

In traditional Judaism, God is conceived of as the eternal, omnipotent and omniscient creator of the universe, and the source of morality. God has the power to intervene in the world.

Lord also known as The White Lord  takes his character inspiration from God   In the game he appears as playable character in Devil May Cry 6 as an assassin archangel who came to secure the peace on earth once more.

He doesn’t trust anyone except for his childhood friend, Lady which he grew up with. He is very calm and silent. Often works as a lone wolf. However he always prepare for a mission. Always prepares for work by looking for information about target. Knowledge about week points of enemy, their allies and enemies.

Later in the game he meets Lady and joins the Devil Mary Cry shop as her partner in fight against the demons.

He is originally an Archangel and right hand of the Father of Heavens. After The Great War that resulted with the banishment of Lucifer he earned his place at the right hand of the Supreme Father. Now days he is sent to Earth and given the task to secure the peace on earth once more, by eliminating all demons who come to create chaos. He is viewed as a cold blooded killer who shows no mercy to demons instead of words or prayers he prefers cold steel and swift deaths. His second task is to find and protect the High Priestess which bears the sacred catalyst pendant that can close the door between earth and demon world forever.

Dante is the main protagonist of the Devil May Cry series.Dante is a paranormal mercenary, private investigator, and vigilante Devil Hunter dedicated to exterminating evil demons and other malevolent supernatural forces; a mission he follows in pursuit of those that killed his mother and corrupted his brother.

Devil Hunter Son of Sparda Legendary Dark Knight

Occupation(s) Paranomal Investigator Mercenary Devil Hunter

Appearance(s) Devil May Cry Devil May Cry 2 Devil May Cry 3 Devil May Cry 4

As a puppet of Mundus, Trish was originally cruel and uncaring, but after Dante saved her, she began to develop emotions towards him, and eventually sacrificed herself to save him from Mundus's attack. After being revived, Trish joined Dante at his shop, and showed excitement at being his partner. She rejoins him in Devil May Cry 4 she has basically the same habits, and additionally seems to enjoy pizza, like Dante, though with a different behavior, such as sitting with her legs over one and the other on dantes table, while flirting with Dante, licking her fingers after finishing the piece she got from the Dante's pizza box, doing a stereotypical girly thing, reapplying lipstick while looking into the reflective blade of Sparda, similar to a vanity mirror. She also executes taunts, such as mentioning "May the Savior be with you." until she chuckles and mentions "As if.", and showm to be lovey-dovey with demons by blowing an explosive kiss.

While disguised as Gloria, Trish is very flirtatious and sexually teasing.

Vergil was the eldest of twin sons born from the demon Sparda and human Eva, and is the main antagonist of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening and a playable character in its special edition. Following the death of their mother as children, Vergil and Dante go their separate ways, with Vergil rejecting his humanity and embracing his demonic heritage, contrasting his younger brother's embrace of humanity and initial rejection of the demonic. Stoic and reserved, Vergil displays a willingness to do anything in his quest to obtain the power of his father, Sparda. In an unknown conclusion to a confrontation with Mundus in the secret ending to Devil May Cry 3, he is corrupted and becomes the Dark Angel encountered in Devil May Cry known as Nelo Angelo (also alternatively spelled Nero Angelo[2]). After numerous conflicts throughout the game, he is finally defeated by Dante.

He later makes a playable appearance in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, where he is featured in his own personal campaign detailing his actions in the city of Fortuna decades before the events of 4, and shortly before 3.

Agrippina details: N/A

Nero is the main protagonist in the fourth installment of the Devil May Cry series. Nero serves as a Holy Knight in the Order of the Sword, a religious group that worships Sparda and fights to protect the world from demons. Kyrie is the childhood friend of Nero, who he shares a strong romantic bond with; this romance plays a major part in driving Nero throughout the events of Devil May Cry 4.

Nero has some sort of relation to Sparda, due to the connection he has with the Yamato, and his alleged place in the Sparda bloodline.

He is also very rebellious, much like Dante and Sparda before him: he wields a gun, despite the Order's general prohibition against them; he doesn't really believe in the Order's religion; and cares little for the legend of Sparda. Despite this, he is also very loyal to his friends, especially to Kyrie and Credo. Even though he doesn't care for the Order of the Sword's religion, Nero still participates in some of their activities out of respect for Credo and Kyrie. However, his rebellious nature leads to the Order having him work alone on "special jobs." In fact, Nero actually prefers to act as a lone wolf.[4]

Like Dante, Nero is a somewhat arrogant and cocky person. He shares Dante's habit of casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of his enemies, making taunts and sarcastic jokes on the battlefield. Nero also taunts in a similar, sarcastic fashion to Dante: One taunt involves him bowing mockingly and asking, "Shall we dance?"; another has him aiming the Blue Rose at his enemies and saying "Bang!" instead of shooting; and another has him applaud his enemies.

Kyrie is a supporting character in Devil May Cry 4. Born and raised in Fortuna where she spent most of her days, she is the younger sister of the leader of the Order of the Sword's Holy Knights, Credo, and songstress for the Festival of the Sword. Kyrie is the childhood friend of Nero, as well as his love interest[1]. She carries a necklace that was given to her by Nero at the beginning of the game as a present during the festival. The love between Kyrie and Nero seems to have started before the events of Devil May Cry 4, but their love is used as a major plot point on several occasions during the game.

Sparda was a mighty demon knight who is known as the "Legendary Dark Knight" (Densetsu no Makenshi, lit. "Legendary Demon Swordsman"). Two thousand years ago, he "woke up to justice" and alone defeated Mundus and his legions. When sealing the netherworld, sensing his power had grown too strong, he intentionally sealed himself and his own demonic power in as well.[1] Later, he escaped his prison under unrevealed circumstances and quietly reigned the human world and continued to preserve harmony. Before his death, he resurfaced in the modern day and married Eva, who gave birth to his twin sons, Dante and Vergil.

Eva was the human wife of Sparda and mother of the twins Vergil and Dante. Little is known about Eva. She appears only as a photo on Dante's desk and as a voice in a flashback in the first Devil May Cry game. For Dante and Vergil's 8th birthday, she gave each of the boys one half of Sparda's Perfect Amulet. Afterwards, she was killed in a demon attack ordered by Mundus. She hid Dante underneath two stones and told him never to come out, no matter what. She gave her life for her sons[1]. It is unclear where Vergil was at this time. Eva's death is most likely the event that shaped the paths Dante and Vergil took, causing Dante to fight demons and Vergil to search for Force Edge.

*  3/21/17  :  note to self.

REGARDING CHARACTERIZATION & PORTRAYAL    - alternatively titled  :  things to keep in mind while writing lucifel.    - alternatively alternatively titled  :  why this prick is such a damn pain to rp.

Though I’ve taken up Lucifel’s mantel on numerous occasions, spread over a couple different online platforms over the years, this is perhaps his longest sustained run to date.  In truth, Lucifel doesn’t write particularly easily for me -- he isn’t one of those characters into whose head space I can slip with relative ease and just “ boogie with, ” so to speak -- but I find his character and concept so appealing that I’ve always been dragged back, despite the struggle of adequately penning him.

The difficulty stems from a few different factors.

Let’s start with narration.

For one thing, it’s difficult to pin down Lucifel’s “ allegorical/metaphoric aesthetic, ” so to speak.  Maybe there’s a proper literary term for this that I’m unaware of, but by “ allegorical ” or “ metaphoric ” aesthetic, I’m referring to the type of imagery and sort of ‘ mise en scene ’ set up by an author’s narration.  For example, if you’re writing about, say, King Henry VIII, perhaps you’d find your narration chalk full of ornate prose or florid language; hyperbole might not be inappropriate, and most metaphors would likely relate to items/concepts befitting a ‘ classical ’ era ( i.e., idk --  her smile was milk and honey -- chaste, maidenly.  it unfurled for him like an opening blossom, as if he were her sun.  but in her eyes he perceived the predatory keenness of a hunting hawk.  a dangerous woman, he thought.  a woman like mulled wine.  sweet, but meant to be taken in cautious, deliberate sips, lest ruin and a startling headache follow in the morning. )

On the other hand, if you’re writing about a struggling fry cook in modern America who deals a little blow on the side, your narration might turn out a little different.  Elegant prose might be switched out for a blunter, more gritty or ‘ modern ’  style; hyperbole, for slang; ostentation, for immediacy -- and it seems unlikely you’ll be comparing anyone to ‘mulled wine’ and ‘hunting hawks.’  ( maybe --  she had the smile of a kansas hopeful in hollywood; a charm that was more ‘little sister’ than ‘girl next door.’  he found himself staring at her neat white teeth; the dimple that screwed the left corner of her mouth into something a little tomboyish, despite her popstar pink lip gloss.  cute, he thought.  real cute.  but he knew the look in those eyes.  this girl was trouble.  she could layer on the popstar-pink as thick as she wanted, but trouble had a way of showing through. )

Different strokes for different folks; different styles for different characters.  Because ultimately, your narrative style reflects upon your character’s personality.  It’s just inevitable.

Lucifel poses the problem of being right in between a classical and modern character.  On the one hand, he’s an ancient & divine being who has roamed the universe since time immemorial, enforced the will of God Himself, and feasted on the mysteries of the universe -- all traits that suggest a ‘classical’ bent.  On the other hand, he’s a smooth talking spokesman in skinny jeans and spiked hair whose most prized possession is a cellphone, and who very consciously stands apart from the more classically portrayed angels in his series.

The dilemma this presents is how to maintain an air of divine power and ancient wisdom without sacrificing his modernity.  The beauty of his character is that he is ancient and divine, but that he does think of things differently  --  all that classical hyperbole and ‘ awe of god ’ filtered through a streamlined, modern prism.  An angel who would choose sleek aerodynamics over mythic wings; clean LED-crisp purity over soft golden radiance.  He’s an awe-inspiring, all powerful Angel of the Lord.  He’s also just a ‘ kinda cool guy. ’  Hitting the right narrative tone to illustrate this unique dichotomy is perhaps my greatest challenge, but it’s also key to his best characteristics.

(  Somewhere in this narrative melange, there’s also the concept of his divinity and the fact that I imagine many of his own thoughts/points of reference/general mindset/etc as not referring to human concepts at all.  I mean, why would an angel think in terms of earthly metaphors, and not in terms of concepts far beyond mortal comprehension?  But there’s not much more I can say about this at present.  I mean, hey, I’m only human.  )

There’s also the hurdle of differences in translation to address.

Though essentially the same, there are some fairly noteworthy differences between direct translations of Lucifel’s original Japanese dialogue and the official English dialogue.  The localization team did an awesome job with Lucifel’s lines, and I fell in love with his English dialogue completely, but there are some fun traits the Japanese dialogue highlights more clearly, which would be a shame to lose.

Primarily, the Japanese Lucifel is a bit more mercurial and abstruse.  He hems and haws, takes his time, seems to have a lot of ‘ well, how should i say this ... ’ and ‘ no, let me rephrase ’ and ‘ well, in a manner of speaking ... ’ thrown into his lines, and has a bit of a ‘ softer edge ’ than his slightly more brutal English counterpart.  English Lucifel is a lot more blunt ( ‘ seven angels have fallen to earth. big mistake. we’re gonna rip out their souls and imprison them here for all eternity. ’ ), and highlights his moral ambiguity and the precarious edge of holiness on which he totters closer and closer to his own fall. 

Blend, blend, blend is the key here, though it’s occasionally difficult to do so while maintaining dialogue that sounds ‘natural’ and ‘authentic.’  One of the best parts of Lucifel, after all, is that while he may occasionally lapse into angelic verse, he generally just sounds like your best pal shooting the breeze.

In any case, if you’ve read down this far, congratulations, you’ve won the grand prize ( reward pending ) !  But this is more or less just a long note to self to help facilitate my thoughts in approaching this character.   Clarifying these sorts of things in writing helps me stay organized, so don’t be surprised if they spring up on the dash from time to time.

‘Til then, we persevere.

Rabbits are prey. Their cute, little, ever-wiggling noses, giant fluffy ears and large eyes are all designed for their protection with heightened senses ever looking for the next attack. Their nervous systems are tipped in a constant sympathetic dominance that leads to quickly accelerated blood pressure, ease of escape, and continual worry. We are not rabbits.

But, our ‘bunny brain’, as I like to call it, can bend towards getting stuck in a similar scenario. This may be more appropriately termed post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, or some form of obsessive-compulsive issue, but it’s all relatively the same. Whether it was a past experience that left us in a state of helplessness to danger or a current condition that steals our control, we can easily get trapped feeling like we are defenseless bunny rabbits surrounded by a hundred hungry wolves.

Our bunny brain can get stuck on high alert long after the predators have gone. Neurologically, we call this being in a state of sympathetic dominance. Our sympathetic nervous system is part of our autonomic nervous response, responsible for “fight, flight, or freeze”, largely protective, survival reactions. It’s counterpart, the parasympathetic system, is calming, healing, detoxifying, and resting. They are polar opposites and are supposed to be in balance, for the most part, in a resting, non-emergency, situation.

The problem comes in when our brain gets stuck thinking that wolves surround us. The ramped-up sympathetics can lead to high blood pressure, blood sugar control issues and even cancer, and worse, when one is diagnosed with such disease, it can lead to greater morbidity as the diagnosis itself increases sympathetic tone.

How can we break out of bunny brain? Below are a few of my suggestions:

Surrender your past or current issues to God. If you are not a believer, I have no other help for my first point. Life is full of predator situations where we are the helpless prey whether we like it or not. This is a simple fact of the fallen world we live in. All will experience the inevitable struggles of life and trying to overcome without knowledge of and dependence on our Creator is impossible.

Keep your mind occupied. I like to stay busy, both mind and body. I am constantly listening to books and good sermons and lectures that help me grow in faith and knowledge to help others. I have a difficult time sitting still, even on vacation, and I see this as a good thing. It helps me keep my bunny brain from activating.

Always be asking better questions. The worst things I see my patients do is ask, “Why is this happening to me?” Instead ask questions like, “what am I supposed to learn for this?” “How can I help others through what I am going through?” “How can I be a blessing to someone today?”

Stay in the present. When we focus on the possibility of a bleak future, our bunny brain is in full swing. Focus on today; take one day, one hour, at a time. This brings us back to the good questions to ask; ask them in the present tense. Instead of, “When I get better, I want to help others,” think, “how can I help someone TODAY.” There is always someone you can encourage NOW whether it is your spouse or the barista at your local coffee shop. Who can you bless today. It is the gentle word of encouragement, the “thank you” and unexpected compliment that gives meaning to life.

Become a giver instead of a taker. Those who see themselves as victims often become needy takers that suck the life out of everyone around them. Be introspective enough to recognize that we all can slip into this position from time to time. Fight against it. Be a giver even if you can only give kindness right now. You pour out what is inside you so if people bump into you and get drenched with anger and pity and bitterness, you had better look inside and make some changes.

Ask for assistance. Accountability is a necessary tool of change. We need others who love us enough to tell us the truth. I thank God for my wife who is secure enough in our relationship to speak truth into me when I need a slap. Surround yourself with those who will “sharpen your iron” and be slow to take offense.

Pray for hope and the joy that comes along with future grace. God has, in His sovereignty, planned all you are experiencing to draw you closer to Him and the future grace He has for you in eternity. See everything as a molding and shaping and your bunny brain will calm down.

Lord s birthday.

Mary Also known as Lady in Heaven Virgin Mary.

Heavenly Mother and the wife of God the Father.

This last woman, who sets in motion the entire rescue operation, can only be Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus according to Dante’s faith.

The Blessed Virgin of the Comedy is the Blessed Virgin of Christian faith. One of the unfortunate and doubtless unintended effects of the Reformation has been to create among many believers suspicion as to Mary’s role in the plan of salvation. What need have we for any mediator but Christ himself? Devotion to Mary is thought to intrude between the soul and God, or to divert the soul in its journey to God. It is a commonplace that many converts found the Catholic emphasis on Mary a great obstacle to be overcome.

“Lady” (birth name: Mary) - Named after The Blessed Virgin Mary who appears in The Divine Comedy as a symbol of Divine Mercy to aid poet Dante Alighieri on his quest calling on  Beatrice to assist him. “Lady” is likely a reference to one of the virgin’s other names, “Madonna” (Italian for “Lady”).

Lord name meaning:

A name for God or Christ.

Lord is better reserved as the male counterpart for Lady

A person with the ability or power to use, control,or dispose of something

A man of noble rank or high office; a nobleman.

An owner of a slave, animal, etc. An employer of workers or servants. The male head of a household. A person who has authority, control, or power over others; a master, chief, or ruler. A person who exercises authority from property rights; an owner of land, houses, etc. A person whose teachings others accept or follow:

A Zen master. Being master; exercising mastery; dominant.

To conquer or overcome

A person with exceptional skill at a certain thing

A person who is a leader or has great influence in a chosen profession

Supreme God of Heaven, Heavenly Father and husband  of Heavenly Mother Mary.

In monotheism, God is conceived of as the Supreme Being and principal object of faith. The concept of God as described by most theologians includes the attributes of omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), omnipresence (present everywhere), divine simplicity, and as having an eternal and necessary existence. Many theologians also describe God as being omnibenevolent (perfectly good) and all loving.

In traditional Judaism, God is conceived of as the eternal, omnipotent and omniscient creator of the universe, and the source of morality. God has the power to intervene in the world.

Lord also known as The White Lord  takes his character inspiration from God   In the game he appears as playable character in Devil May Cry 6 as an assassin archangel who came to secure the peace on earth once more.

He doesn’t trust anyone except for his childhood friend, Lady which he grew up with. He is very calm and silent. Often works as a lone wolf. However he always prepare for a mission. Always prepares for work by looking for information about target. Knowledge about week points of enemy, their allies and enemies.

Later in the game he meets Lady and joins the Devil Mary Cry shop as her partner in fight against the demons.

He is originally an Archangel and right hand of the Father of Heavens. After The Great War that resulted with the banishment of Lucifer he earned his place at the right hand of the Supreme Father. Now days he is sent to Earth and given the task to secure the peace on earth once more, by eliminating all demons who come to create chaos. He is viewed as a cold blooded killer who shows no mercy to demons instead of words or prayers he prefers cold steel and swift deaths. His second task is to find and protect the High Priestess which bears the sacred catalyst pendant that can close the door between earth and demon world forever.

Dante is the main protagonist of the Devil May Cry series.Dante is a paranormal mercenary, private investigator, and vigilante Devil Hunter dedicated to exterminating evil demons and other malevolent supernatural forces; a mission he follows in pursuit of those that killed his mother and corrupted his brother.

Devil Hunter Son of Sparda Legendary Dark Knight

Occupation(s) Paranomal Investigator Mercenary Devil Hunter

Appearance(s) Devil May Cry Devil May Cry 2 Devil May Cry 3 Devil May Cry 4

As a puppet of Mundus, Trish was originally cruel and uncaring, but after Dante saved her, she began to develop emotions towards him, and eventually sacrificed herself to save him from Mundus's attack. After being revived, Trish joined Dante at his shop, and showed excitement at being his partner. She rejoins him in Devil May Cry 4 she has basically the same habits, and additionally seems to enjoy pizza, like Dante, though with a different behavior, such as sitting with her legs over one and the other on dantes table, while flirting with Dante, licking her fingers after finishing the piece she got from the Dante's pizza box, doing a stereotypical girly thing, reapplying lipstick while looking into the reflective blade of Sparda, similar to a vanity mirror. She also executes taunts, such as mentioning "May the Savior be with you." until she chuckles and mentions "As if.", and showm to be lovey-dovey with demons by blowing an explosive kiss.

While disguised as Gloria, Trish is very flirtatious and sexually teasing.

Vergil was the eldest of twin sons born from the demon Sparda and human Eva, and is the main antagonist of Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening and a playable character in its special edition. Following the death of their mother as children, Vergil and Dante go their separate ways, with Vergil rejecting his humanity and embracing his demonic heritage, contrasting his younger brother's embrace of humanity and initial rejection of the demonic. Stoic and reserved, Vergil displays a willingness to do anything in his quest to obtain the power of his father, Sparda. In an unknown conclusion to a confrontation with Mundus in the secret ending to Devil May Cry 3, he is corrupted and becomes the Dark Angel encountered in Devil May Cry known as Nelo Angelo (also alternatively spelled Nero Angelo[2]). After numerous conflicts throughout the game, he is finally defeated by Dante.

He later makes a playable appearance in Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, where he is featured in his own personal campaign detailing his actions in the city of Fortuna decades before the events of 4, and shortly before 3.

Agrippina details: N/A

Nero is the main protagonist in the fourth installment of the Devil May Cry series. Nero serves as a Holy Knight in the Order of the Sword, a religious group that worships Sparda and fights to protect the world from demons. Kyrie is the childhood friend of Nero, who he shares a strong romantic bond with; this romance plays a major part in driving Nero throughout the events of Devil May Cry 4.

Nero has some sort of relation to Sparda, due to the connection he has with the Yamato, and his alleged place in the Sparda bloodline.

He is also very rebellious, much like Dante and Sparda before him: he wields a gun, despite the Order's general prohibition against them; he doesn't really believe in the Order's religion; and cares little for the legend of Sparda. Despite this, he is also very loyal to his friends, especially to Kyrie and Credo. Even though he doesn't care for the Order of the Sword's religion, Nero still participates in some of their activities out of respect for Credo and Kyrie. However, his rebellious nature leads to the Order having him work alone on "special jobs." In fact, Nero actually prefers to act as a lone wolf.[4]

Like Dante, Nero is a somewhat arrogant and cocky person. He shares Dante's habit of casually mouthing off to even the most powerful of his enemies, making taunts and sarcastic jokes on the battlefield. Nero also taunts in a similar, sarcastic fashion to Dante: One taunt involves him bowing mockingly and asking, "Shall we dance?"; another has him aiming the Blue Rose at his enemies and saying "Bang!" instead of shooting; and another has him applaud his enemies.

Kyrie is a supporting character in Devil May Cry 4. Born and raised in Fortuna where she spent most of her days, she is the younger sister of the leader of the Order of the Sword's Holy Knights, Credo, and songstress for the Festival of the Sword. Kyrie is the childhood friend of Nero, as well as his love interest[1]. She carries a necklace that was given to her by Nero at the beginning of the game as a present during the festival. The love between Kyrie and Nero seems to have started before the events of Devil May Cry 4, but their love is used as a major plot point on several occasions during the game.

Sparda was a mighty demon knight who is known as the "Legendary Dark Knight" (Densetsu no Makenshi, lit. "Legendary Demon Swordsman"). Two thousand years ago, he "woke up to justice" and alone defeated Mundus and his legions. When sealing the netherworld, sensing his power had grown too strong, he intentionally sealed himself and his own demonic power in as well.[1] Later, he escaped his prison under unrevealed circumstances and quietly reigned the human world and continued to preserve harmony. Before his death, he resurfaced in the modern day and married Eva, who gave birth to his twin sons, Dante and Vergil.

Eva was the human wife of Sparda and mother of the twins Vergil and Dante. Little is known about Eva. She appears only as a photo on Dante's desk and as a voice in a flashback in the first Devil May Cry game. For Dante and Vergil's 8th birthday, she gave each of the boys one half of Sparda's Perfect Amulet. Afterwards, she was killed in a demon attack ordered by Mundus. She hid Dante underneath two stones and told him never to come out, no matter what. She gave her life for her sons[1]. It is unclear where Vergil was at this time. Eva's death is most likely the event that shaped the paths Dante and Vergil took, causing Dante to fight demons and Vergil to search for Force Edge.
