Share

"I will never let them be a memory, but you will be."


Vega is the Aspect of his namesake, Nemesis in all meanings of the word. He is the downfall and an inescapable agent torment to Demyan, Karyana, and therefore Alex. He is a manifestation of Anarki's Spite and opposition of the world and what they hate as a collective. due to events in his life, he only has two eyes but covers them with his attire, not symbolizing blindness but rather a coyness.


Hailing from a merderith where the dark elves (while still discriminated) were less often Mercenaries or slaves but were a Matriarch society of not just mercenaries but bounty hunters, guards, thieves, courtesans, courters, and sellswords. All ruled under a code of unity and loyalty to the strongest female. Vega was the favored Concubine of the then Queen of the Dark elves Sayeth who was regarded as the most powerful, strong, and deadly of her kind, feared with her weapon of choice the Luna scythe.


Nemesis was a talented thief but in a Dark elf traditional contest where the thieves of all shape would do their best to rob Sayeth and impress her with their skills. Nemesis participated and in an act legendary to all of his kind, he Stole not her possessions, but her entirely in the cover of night. disarming her of her own weapon and using it to take her captive. This would not only impress the Queen but make her fall for him, making him her personal concubine and lover.


The planar fearing the rise of the kingdom sent Karyana to have them promise fealty only for Sayeth's refusal and defiance. A fierce battle broke out with Sayeth nearly slaying her only to be caught at a disadvantage via Spasms due to carrying an unborn child. Nemesis would lash out and killing Karyana, his actions earning the ire of the planar. Being tormented by Xelnos to the point he lost his eyes, he at near-death awoke to Anarki Destroying that world and joining his brethren. Wielding the Luna Scythe with a vengeance on Alex.


Facts:


- Nemesis's appearance was inspired by the Twin brother from Nier Automata, as well Vega/Balrog from the street fighter series where he also gets his name.


- Nemesis is a representation of Anarki's allure and naivety, often dressing in luxurious attire like robes and yukata's from the previous world.


- He doesn't address himself as beautiful but rather uses other's saying it as it never saying "I am Beautiful" but often "Sayeth thought I was cute." this reflects how Anarki based his appearance on who he cared about saying it.


- The weapon Nemesis uses the Luna scythe is a battle purposed sickle formerly wielded by sayeth, it's a weapon of grace and flair but also brutality and carnage with both sides being sharp and the back of it having twisted in shape blades. 


-His title "Tempter of La Luna" and the name of the weapon "Luna Scythe" is said that way to make the translated word "Moon" feminine in saying, calling back to Nemesis's life in a society where calling someone moon was a highest honor and something considered a love declaration.


- The Dark elves in his world were brought about by the Xelnos and Asuna of it respectively. Xelnos having created elves of chaos and discord in the image of the moon dancer herself, only instead of clay he used fallen star fragments and Asuna brought the statues of the first ones to life with not her breath but with a doting kiss.


- He's known as the most dangerous aspect, not most powerful, not the most strong but the most dangerous, this comes from his inability to cast magic and using his skill and tactics being ones of dirty or cruel nature, such as uncommon means like dirt kicking or environmental usage to get ahead of the opponents.
