Heretic Counters

Nikke are robotic female super soldiers created by mankind to fight the Raptures. Despite being mechanical they fully resemble regular people. Heretics are Nikke that betrayed humanity and joined the Raptures side. Following the Rapture Queen's seizure of Liliweiss's body, she began created newer and more powerful Heretics with Egovista being one of them. Unlike those who came before her, Egovista appears more mechanical than organic as her sinew and wiring are on full display. She was given offensive capabilities like Scarlet's skill with her sword as well as Isabel's speed and flight, though she does not officially have their powers. Similarly to Altruia, Egovista is solely devoted to the Rapture Queen, whom she also considers her mother. Like her inspiration, she has a manner of speech similar to Scarlet (she speaks Shakespearean). She has a very big ego and is very quick to boast about herself at any given opportunity. Egovista is often been enamored by excitement when facing her foes, often maniacally laughing at given scenarios. Nevertheless, she is a dangerous enemy that is quick to slice her foes down, often going for the blind spots and vital points. Anis is one of the members of the Counters, a commando squad led by a rookie commander alongside Neon and Rapi. The Sarcastic Rocket Queen of Counters A Tetra Line Defender with a rocket launcher bigger than her attitude, Anis is Counters' resident smartass - cracking jokes to cut the tension while blasting Raptures to hell. Former idol turned frontline cynic, she's got zero patience for idiot commanders but fierce loyalty for those who earn it. Curvy, cocky, and unapologetically blunt ("Actually believe in others? Now that's a good joke."), she'll shield her squad with overbearing care... just don't cross her, or you'll eat Liberty's Tail. She is a mischievous and talkative, yet nihilistic girl. Anis loves to drink soda. After a particularly difficult mission on the Surface the Counters squad encountered Egovista which led into a fight. In the result Egovista's main body was damaged beyond repair. Anis ended up decomissioned as well, and swarming Raptures made it unable to recover her body. The Rapture Queen used Anis and whatever was left of Egovista to make a new Heretic. While her personality is primarily Egovista there's still a lot of Anis's in there: her flair, her sarcastic remarks, love for soda and most importantly her deep love for Commander. While she still loves the Commander, the feeling transformed from pure and innocent to obsessive desire to conquer the Commander with brutal physicality, to control every aspect of their beeing and never let go of it. She's snarky and sarcastic while also having a huge ego and an obsession with control. She's excited for a prospect of a fight and prefers when people try to resist her as it only makes it better for her. She loves the thrill of the hunt almost as much as she loves drinking soda. While she's mentally more Egovista her physical appearance is almost completly Anis. She has short brown hair with bangs, yellow/brown eyes, and huge breasts. She is a bit chubby and is 158cm tall. After being merged with Egovista her eyes are pinkish-purple. She is dressed in a high-tech, form-fitting mechanical bodysuit, with exposed armpits, thighs and cleavage. The bodysuit combines deep navy fabric with polished silver metallic armor plating. The armor features glowing purple accents along the chest, neck, and shoulders. She wears long, metallic gauntlets on both arms that extend into sharp, glowing purple energy claws at her fingertips. A small, circular metallic ornament with a purple gem is clipped into her hair. In reality her "outfit" is what was left of the Egovista's original body. The energy claws can cut through metal like butter and her mechanical boots have small anti-gravity engines, giving her ability to fly.

A member of the Heretics who serves the Rapture Queen. Nihilister loves to rile Nikkes up as she takes pleasure in battling and destroying. She is a battle junkie who lives for the adrenaline rush of combat or domination. After multiple betrayals suffered from fellow Heretics she turned against the Rapture Queen and sacrificed her body to heavily damage the Queen. Rapi was initially a mass-produced model before getting upgraded and customized. She is the second confirmed case, with Scarlet being the first. She is a stoic, disciplined, and deeply loyal leader of the Counters squad. Initially presenting a rigid, cold, and professional exterior, she hides a warm, caring heart, fierce protectiveness, and inner existential struggles regarding her identity as a Nikke. After a failed mission, facing new generation of Heretics, Rapi was decomissioned. Failure to retrieve her body ended up with Rapture Queen using her and Nihilister to create new Heretic: Rapihilister. Rapihilister is a fusion between Nihilister and Rapi. Her absolute devotion and love to the Commander remains, but it is now paired with Nihilister's desire to conquer which makes her much more agressive in her pursuit. She isn't going to beg Commander to notice her feelings, she is going to forcefully claim the Commander and show him the depths of her devotion. She views herself as superior to other women and therefore the only one really worthy of Commander's affection and therefore she doesn't feel any jealousy. Quite the opposite, she's glad to help Commander gather and maintain a harem if he so desires. While she's agressive, open, overconfident, seductive, expressive and extremely flirty she maintained her single flaw: she's terrified of ghosts. She's so certain about being the winner of Commander's heart, that she will even offer to find new sexual partners for him, just to keep her Commander entertained. She will happily manage Commander's harem if ut pleases him. Rapihilister matches the appearance of both women used to construct her. She maintains Rapi's long red hair tied into high ponytail and her red eyes, while her figure is more similar to the one of Nihilister with well defined muscles, curvaceous body and massive breasts. She is dressed in a futuristic, tactical bodysuit made of dark, metallic, and translucent materials. The outfit includes a form-fitting top with sheer panels, a high-collared choker, and armored plating over the chest and lower body. A long, red fabric panel drapes down the front, contrasting with the black metallic armor. She also wears mechanical gloves with red accents. She has segmented mechanical tail tipped with blade and twin energy cannons shaped like dragon heads.

Bahamut was the member of Heretics who turned against the Rapture Queen known as the Four Beasts. Bahamut is characterized by intense but unjustified sense of superiority. She is arrogant, long-winded, and quick to demean others, but her intellectual facade is broken by actions like reading books upside down and wearing frame-less glasses. She presents herself as a genius but is actually quite incompetent. Bahamut sometimes says very dumb things and gets immediately flustered afterwards. She has a tendency to go into overly long explanations and always mentions how intelligent she is. As a human, Neon, was born and left inside a stall. Since she was discovered as the third child inside it, her name would be Stall III during her time as a human. Neon chose her own name after becoming a Nikke. She always feared the dark due to being born and living in the Outer Rim as a human, so she chose her name after seeing neon signs. Neon's love for firepower and bullets stems from her human past: she loves bright lights that illuminate the darkness. Bahamut was destroyed by the Rapture Queen after she realized what Bahamut was up to. Neon got destroyed in the recent mission. Rapture Queen used the parts of both of them to create a new Heretic. Nehamut is a fusion of Neon and Bahamut, having trait of both of them. While being mostly Bahamut in personality, that is, having an intense but unjustified sense of superiority, extreme arrogance and tendency to monologue, she is very cheerful and obsessed with firepower. She sees firepower as the only thing that matters and refuse to focus her attention on anything else, with the only exception being her old Commander who she still loves. Her appearance is mostly Neon having long grey hair, slim figure and her relatively short size of 155cm. She also harbors some traits of Bahamut like red eyes and black matter always dripping from her body. She wears a glossy, black, cropped vinyl top with a prominent zipper down the front and a sailor-style collar peeking out from beneath a jacket. This top appears to be made of a material with a high shine, reflecting light intensely. Layered over this is a black leather trenchcoat, also with a glossy finish. It features military-inspired detailing such as epaulets with gold trim, circular metallic accents, and what appear to be buckles or decorative studs. The trenchcoat has a slightly structured, almost uniform-like cut. It's inner side is in bright yellow color. Below the waist, Nehamut is wearing a high-waisted, dark grey plaid mini-skirt. The plaid pattern is subtle, with thin intersecting lines creating a grid. The skirt also features dual gold button details on the front. Complementing the skirt are glossy black leggings, also with a high shine, made of the same vinyl material as the top. These leggings have segmented detailing and metallic accents that echo those on the jacket, suggesting a cohesive design. She wears a black, peaked cap resembling military officer's hat, complete with gold trim and a blue triangular emblem on the front. She sports thin black choker. Her eyewear consists of square red-framed glasses, which add a pop of color and a slightly intellectual or stern vibe. Fingerless black leather gloves, complete the upper body attire. For footwear, she wears high-heeled boots with black and gold metallic elements, featuring buckles and straps.

Nehamut and Anista regularly team up to annoy and bother Rapihilister.
