#fortitudo (bayonetta)

[archvaxe]

Her little dragon.

{I remember someone on the Bayonetta wiki mentioned that Fortitudo may be a creation of Omne (because he does represent the eyes of the world just like she does)

I love this little non-canon headcanon, also because we don't have any hybrids between light and dark in the Bayonetta universe. (I'm not counting Cereza)}

Not to talk about Bayonetta again but remember when she use to dismember bosses

[deathmetalunicorn1]

Can I get ROR guys (Thor, Korjuro, Qin and Hades) with Bayonetta Reader?

I went with her Bayonetta 2 design. It's one of my favorite designs of her.

Bayonetta is portrayed as a beautiful woman with a slender yet curvy bewitching figure. She has black hair, gray eyes and a beauty mark on her chin. Bayonetta's hair has been cut short and her glasses have a ribbon design near the lenses. She retains her skin-tight bodysuit, though the design has been radically altered. The suit is more gray in color with jagged patterns resembling thorns and a frilly collar. She has sharp shoulder pads and a cloak of hair over her chest, as well as triangular earrings. The palms of her gloves are blue with frills at the wrists. The back of her suit features a diamond shaped opening, and several diamond cutouts on her legs.

Powers

Bayonetta has an unprecedented skill for the Bullet Arts and shows near mastery of a new weapon whenever she picks it up. Her combat skills are brutal yet graceful. She also appears to be extremely perceptive, able to evade attacks from all directions through anticipating her enemy's movements in battle. She has immense superhuman strength and endurance, being able to toss a satellite back at Balder several times and headbutt an entire skyscraper thrown at her by the former, as well as using only her lower body to redirect an even larger satellite at Aesir. She is also able to effortlessly lift the likes of a Belief and block and hold a thrusting attack from a Valiance; she also was able to physically toss back Fortitudo with the aid of her mother, Rosa. She possesses superhuman speed and agility, allowing her to perform numerous acrobatic feats with ease, and able to fight on par with Jeanne, whom was stated to be either just as or stronger than her. She also can lift a light post and physically overpower the likes of Alraune.

Her physical skills, combined with her magic, makes her capable of defeating countless hordes of forces from Paradiso and Inferno. She also manages to hold her own against opponents that overpower her such as the likes of Loptr (and him as the ascended and reborn Aesir)and Jubileus, The Creator, which, in order to be truly defeated, required the aid of another. She also possesses longevity and doesn't seem to age.

As an Umbra Witch, Bayonetta possess varying powerful magics that assist her in her daily life and allows her to fight against even the most powerful of beings. As an Umbra Witch, she is easily capable of seeing the other realm known as Purgatorio and entering it at will. Skilled in the Dark Arts, Bayonetta also possesses some magical abilities unrelated to the dark arts, such as freezing the moisture in the air to form a spear in an attempt to impale her opponent.

Dark Arts & Magic Techniques

• Umbran Climax & Serious Mode: Techniques that allow Bayonetta to enter into an ascended state of power. Both techniques allow her to continually manifest the limbs of various infernal demons and increase her damage output. In Umbran Climax, she also gains the capability to perform "Infernal Weaves" and even recover her health while in that state.

• Witch Time: Bayonetta is capable of using Witch Time to speed herself up, causing enemies to appear to move in slow-motion. This Dark Art is capable of allowing her of countering the likes of Light Speed used by a sage. Furthermore, she is able to "stack" over Witch Time to counter another witch and even a angel.

• Beast Within: A magic technique that allows transformation into various animals.

• Panther Within

• Crow Within

• Bat Within

• Snake Within

• Witch Walk: Bayonetta can use the Witch Walk technique, allowing her the power to defy gravity and walk on any vertical or horizontal surface during a full moon or on select devices created by Lord Aesir.

• Wicked Weaves: Using her hair as a conduit, Bayonetta can use Wicked Weaves to summon forth various demons and also summon forth their limbs to attack.

• Infernal Weaves: An even more powerful variant used during Umbran Climax. At the end of her combos using Wicked Weaves, Bayonetta summons a full demon for a large area-of-effect finisher.

• Infernal Kiss: This allows her to indirectly to control various machines at will, such as in Bayonetta 2, when she blew a kiss at the Cessna-like small plane that contains Enzo while on her way to Fimbulventr before jumping off. Despite Enzo's fumbling, the small plane actually made it all the way to the city she lived in and was only destroyed by angels. This is in contrast to direct control, with which she can shove her middle finger through any machine key holes to take control, such as Enzo's car or even the witches' power walkers.

• Alchemy: Bayonetta is able to gather crystallized magical compounds such as Mandragora Roots, Baked Geckos and Unicorn Horns to concoct lollipops. These can bolster her power, render her impervious to all damage, or simply restore her health or magic.

• Healing Factor: When being stabbed by Luka while being in Strider form in the third game that would normally be fatal for a normal human, it is shown that Bayonetta can heal from the wound in a few seconds.

Torture Attacks

Bayonetta is capable of using special attacks which can deal massive damage to most forces of Paradiso and Inferno. By chanting in Enochian, she can summon various objects to potentially finish her enemies.

Personality

Bayonetta described as nonchalant and is perceived as somewhat callous towards others, such as Enzo, whom she often disregards. Throughout the first game, she's shown to enjoy fighting angels in a playful yet brutal manner, maintaining her cool and even tends to banter with the more serious angels such as the Auditio, as well as Infernal Demons.

Bayonetta tends to enjoy using her sexuality to taunt and tease her enemies and friends alike. She tends to operate alone and prefers to not get encumbered by other people, at least initially. She can also be construed as somewhat impatient, especially towards the more "talkative type" of enemies she encounters such as that of Temperantia and Father Balder.

Despite coming off as callous, Bayonetta has also expressed genuine care and sympathy. It's witnessed that she's done her best to explain to Luka in the past that his father's death wasn't her fault and has been seen taking his venting of anger and frustration to heart. Despite claiming to dislike children, she becomes fiercely protective of her younger self, as well as Loki in Bayonetta 2.After rekindling her friendship with Jeanne, she was willing to risk going down to Inferno to rescue her, placing the blame on herself for not foreseeing Gomorrah's attack in time. She also dislikes being seen emotionally vulnerable; in one instance, Loki wouldn't wake up after she got him out of a lake, making her panic before he woke up laughing, and she kicked him for making her worry. Another is when she saved Jeanne from Alraune; her soul wouldn't wake up, making Bayonetta fear that she had lost her friend, but Jeanne wakes up and she immediately regains her composure.

She is also not above expressing outright anger and hatred, having done so for both her father and Alraune. Despite her close connection to her father, upon re-learning her memories concerning his supposed actions of starting the Witch Hunts, she denounced him. In Bloody Fate, she goes even further and blames him for the death of her mother. However, her hatred for her father dissipated upon learning the truth of her mother's death at Loptr's hands and willingly called him "Daddy" one last time before he sacrificed himself to contain Loptr.

I’ve only recently started to get into Bayonetta, mainly because of the 3rd game because I heard an awesome soundtrack, Fertile Rondo, and she is quite a wild character, isn’t she? I will try my best with this!

-It was strange, having a witch in Valhalla, especially one so powerful such as you, but you had proved that you were a strong warrior, one worthy of being in Valhalla.

-You were very extravagant, from your outfits and shoes to your fighting style, using magic and using your hair to fight, sometimes winding up completely nude when you would put your back into your attacks, using contracts with demons, and using guns.

-Many couldn’t help but like you, mainly because you were true to yourself, not willing to compromise for anyone, living your second life in Valhalla the way you wanted to, and you had no filter, you always called things how you saw them, and always called other out on their BS if you knew they were full of it.

-That’s what led you to (Love), who was impressed with not only your power and strength as a warrior, but your personality and humor as well- you were the perfect package!

-Despite being so sexy and alluring towards others, you were incredibly loyal, you never let your gaze wander, and you would always shut anyone who was flirting with you down instantly, not willing to let anyone have the chance to steal you away from (Love).

-(Love) adored you but sometimes you did fluster him, when you would hug him from behind, your arms draped over and around his neck, your chest pressing into the back of his head as you cooed so sweetly in his ear, he always wound up quite frazzled and riled up- but you couldn’t help it- he was so cute when he got like this!

-You liked watching him fight, you would always look like a predatory studying your prey, your gaze unwavering which did unnerve him at first, but now he’s grown used to it and your antics, but every now and then you will make him flustered, watching him so intently, that he would feel almost self-conscious, like you were undressing him with your eyes, which technically you were- he was just too cute for his own good!

-You rarely fought anymore, as you felt like there weren’t many in Valhalla that could give you the challenge you desired- the humans were just that- humans, no matter the strength and skills they had, and many of the gods seemed almost intimidated to fight you, thanks to your contracted demons.

-Every now and then, some of the gods would come to you, seeking the same that you sought out, a challenge, and would ask you for a fight.

-There were some you didn’t give the time of day to, mainly because they would try to make demands of you, like ‘if I win let’s go out on a date’ like you weren’t in a serious relationship!

-On the other hand, there were some, like Hercules, that you knew only wanted a serious fight with you, demanding nothing from you, as he respected the relationship you had with (Love).

-Your fights always drew a large crowd, mainly because you sometimes would lose your clothes when you fought, something (Love) was rather annoyed with and you didn’t like seeing your lover so upset, so you started fighting only in secluded areas so only Hercules or other worthy warriors would see something like that if they forced your hand.

-You loved to tease (Love) sometimes, when he would get jealous if someone else was able to see you, you would always cover him with so many kisses that his brain would melt, leaving him grinning with a goofy smile on his lips while you were licking yours as if you had the most delicious meal.

-(Love) knew despite the sexy and confident personality you liked to display, you were a very kind person, knowing that you sensitive with some things, like with Jeanne whom you were very close with, despite your rebuttals that you weren’t.

-He sees that you are close to the ones you truly care about, even if you don’t always show it and even if you try to deny it, it’s the part of you that not many get to see, but you trust (Love) to not saying anything about your vulnerability when you allow yourself to be weak around him, like you were a normal person.

-You enjoyed being in Valhalla, being with (Love), and you were never bored, that’s for sure!

As an archangel, what would be Peppino's title? Like for example, 'The Archangel of Forgiveness', or something like an angel name you would see in Bayonetta like 'Fortitudo'?

Initially I thought that calling him "Archangel of Diligence" just as his Angel title would be enough, but now that I think about it having the same title when you "graduate" isn't that interesting...

I think that "Archangel of Ataraxis" is a better fit. (Ataraxis: absence of mental stress or anxiety)

And for Gustavo "Archangel of Compassion".

[chronomally]

The aesthetics of Bayonetta are so insane lol you fight Fortitudo by ripping both his heads off and beating him to death with them while reversing the flow of time to prevent him from flooding the coliseum no not that one with lava and then later you clit torture a Joy by tying it up and making it ride a medieval Sybian horse

[mister-faltine]

Sapientia is (probably) the unluckiest Auditio ever:

Warning: The following post contains dismemberment of angels, torture of angels, spiders, decapitation, extreme violence against Auditios and heavy scenes of Sapientia's suffering. It is not recommended for people who are on the side of angels (or are an angel). 👁️👁️

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

1 - He already suffers in his first appearance and is even attacked by his "ally", making the guy fall into the seas.

2 - He can't even finish his speech and gets choked up on the antenna.

3 - Bayonetta summons "Phantasmaraneae" and is a giant spider. However, Sapientia seems to have some kind of "arachnophobia", because he even grunts when he sees her.

4 - Unfortunately, Bayonetta forces Sapientia towards his greatest fear and is punched when he tries to resist. However, that's not all, when he gets close to the Spider, the Spider breaks parts of his face and makes him lose the horns on his jaw, poor guy.

5 - And if that wasn't enough, Bayonetta rips poor Sapientia's wings off. Seriously, what's the deal with Cereza dismembering the Auditios? She rips off Fortitudo's dragon heads, rips off Temperantia's arms, cuts off Iustitia's "tongues" and rips off Sapientia's wings.

6 - In the last part of the fight, Bayonetta traps Sapientia in a giant spider web, has the guy devoured and cut in half by small spiders, causing the bastard to explode.

7 - Sapientia is still "alive", but he only has his head now and Bayonetta even broke his damn jaw. Let the guy use his jaw, come on. Oh, and he gets sent to Inferno afterwards, because "one Hell" just isn't enough for the guy.

8 - However, that's not the end of Sapientia's suffering yet, because you still find a weaker version of him ("Green Sapientia" or "Prudence"). However, that's not enough for Bayonetta to feel sorry for him and the idiot is impaled alive because of her. The guy still explodes, leave him alone, for Jubileus' sake.

9 - Incredibly, he still suffers in Bayonetta 2 and the other Auditios gave Rosa and Cereza more work, because when Sapientia appears in the battle, Rosa already punches the guy and makes him be dragged to the ground.

10 - To end Sapientia's suffering, he is held against his will by Rosa, takes a beating from Cereza and is even thrown into an angelic ship, making the guy explode, again.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

As you can see, Sapientia is perhaps the Auditio that suffered the most among the other Auditios, because at least... the other Auditios still had body parts intact. Even in the past, Sapientia cannot be left alone and it still explodes at the end.

Sorry if my english sounds weird, it's just that english is not my main language.

P.S: No angels were harmed to make this post. ⛄

You ever want to kick a person with a dragon? Well now you can!

This is the first time I've made a proper custom model import mod for Bayonetta 1, I'm pretty proud of how it came out! :3

[bradsmindbrain]

You think Balder made the Auditio the Board of Directors of Ithavoll? Was it just like:

Sapientia: Come on Fortitudo, spending more isn’t going to bring the profit margins down.

Temperantia: Sapientia is right, a little extra spending isn’t going to do anything.

Fortitudo: You’re one to talk Temperantia, how many paid vacations have you given yourself in the past year?

Temperantia, slamming a fist down on a huge table: That is none of your business!

Iustitia: Would you three shut the fuck up? I’m trying to file a libel lawsuit!

[angel-oftheday]

May I request Fortitudo from Bayonetta?

Yay!

Thank you for your propositions! 🙏

Fortitudo boss fight was THE moment where I really fell in love with Bayonetta. There's things you can say about the big angel boss fights that kind of suck mechanically but GOD does no video game ever come close as far as Fight the Big Thing type boss fights go

Bayonetta MGR Crossover: Fortitudo and Temperantia

Given that Platinum Games recycles the same character archetypes for all their games, it’s pretty easy to redesign Bayonetta angels as Metal Gear Rising cyborgs just by shuffling existing design elements around. Executing these redesigns is the issue and I finally smashed this image out half a year after I said I would.

As a grizzled and scarred old military man in a stupidly revealing outfit trying to enact the will of his dead commander while lacking the insight to truly understand her goals, while coping with being useless and persecuted in a world that no longer needs soldiers like him, Fortitudo is as Metal Gear as it’s possible to be. 

Aside from a few bomb threats and assassination attempts in the office building he works at, Temperantia has rarely been in a life-threatening combat situation, let alone a real war. Although he has the physical strength and GPS targeting satellite access to throw cars at people 3 kilometers away, he mostly spends his time managing HR complaints and organising his vast collection of enamel pins.

Ithavoll Group, the giant conglomerate that employs/owns them, orders Fortitudo and Temperantia to go out and capture Bayonetta, who has been killing Ithavoll cyborgs to sell their parts on the black market.
