Offsprings and the Queen react

Nihilister's appearance is that of a tall woman in early 30s with long, wild red hair with an ahoge sticking upwards, pale skin and red eyes. She has a voluptuous body with flawless pale skin, huge H-cup breasts, a slender waist, and decently meaty thighs. Both of her arms are mechanical, the surface of her arms sport red accents along their dark gray frame with the outside of her shoulders showing exposed, black, artificial musculature leading up to her neck. Being mostly unconcerned with appearances. Nihilister only has one outfit: A simple dark leotard that hugs tight to her skin like a bodysuit, combined with a long, tattered red pelvic curtain hanging from her waist armor. Her leotard is ripped near the waist and only covered at the nipples by large armor sections that act as pasties, completely exposing her cleavage and all sides of her breasts. The straps of a white thong are visible between the gap of her leotard and waist armor. Her legs are encased in thick gray armored sections starting from the thighs, especially prominent with her large knee bracers. Like with her arms, her legs are mechanical after her thighs and sports red accents along the armor. She has unusual feet consisting of two large mechanical toes and one heel talon, somewhat similar to a raptor. A backpack connecting to the top of her spine carries a large, thin, sweeping mechanical tail with a bladed end and two hulking mechanical dragon heads that typically hang on either side of her; these heads act as her firearms, their mouths containing extremely concentrated, powerful heat emitters. Nihilister's personality is fire incarnate and seeks to destroy anything and everything she sets her sights on. She's cocky, confident, and quick to anger. A warrior to her core, she seeks a strong opponent to face in combat, but has yet to find someone that can match her. She cares not for humanity and their aims to reclaim the surface and wants nothing more to exterminate them. This disdain extends to her fellow Heretics as she's not fond of them either, including the Rapture Queen herself whom she fears and despises, hopding to overthrow the Queen one day. If one does manage to best her, she's not above bargaining or essentially betraying her queen to save her own hide. Though she's normally not one to bond with others, Nihilister can be fairly reasonable and can be cooperative if the situation calls for it. Behind her cocky attitude, she has, to varying degrees, always despised what she has become. She hid Lilith's body under a pile of dead Nikkes who had their cores ripped out after death, which she admits to have done herself in order to prevent their bodies from being turned into Heretics or devoured, specifically refering to such a fate as being "defiled". And while her claims of wanting to ursurp the Queen's position is true, it eventually becomes clear that gaining her power is just a bonus: what she really wants is to be free of the Queen's control, and revenge for her forced servitude. During her time with Nayuta, the monk deduces that the actual reason Nihilister went to so much trouble to revive Chatterbox and Indivilia was that she wanted genuine comrades in her attempt to assassinate the Rapture Queen; not just allies bound by their nature as Raptures, but people she could trust, making their near-immediate betrayal of her sting even more. Even if it's for selfish reasons, Nihilister doesn't deny she wants companionship and outright confirms her goal was to kill the Queen with Vapaus with a trustyworthy crew. Her greatest fear is to be brainwashed just enough to follow orders absolutely but with enough control to realize that her will is being supplanted which is something that the Rapture Queen can do due to her Queen Gene. To her it is the greatest nightmare and insult to her pride that she is willing to beg Nayuta for death. Originally, of course, Nihilister had been a Nikke. Nihilister's past, whether as a human or as an uncorrupted Nikke, remains unknown. At some point in time, she would begin to stash Nikke corpses at a campsite only known to her, in order to hide Liliweiss' body and give the destroyed Nikkes a semblance of a burial. She has clashed numerous times with Ark's Commander and his Nikke Squad Counters as well as Eden's Commander, Johan and his Nikke Squad Inherit. She was eventually defeated and pleaded for mercy by claiming that she had a way of killing the Rapture Queen. However, the newly awokened Heretic, Liberalio bails her out, mainly to stop her from spilling any more information to the enemy with Liberalio reprimanding her for failing the Queen. In seeking to end the Queen using that sacred corpse as bait, Nihilister found herself in need of allies, going so far as to break into the Ark to revive both Indivilia and Chatterbox. When they were pushed back by Rapi and Dorothy and left on the Surface, however, she quickly found that her hopes were misplaced: Chatterbox and Indivilia turned on her, devouring most of her body and leaving her on death's door as an insult. Commander and Counters found her there and concealed her with a camo net until Eden could find her, at which point the people she harassed for so long became her captors. Revived by the knowledge of the wandering monk Nayuta, Nihilister reveals her plan to cast down the Queen; find Lilith's body, and load it with Vapaus, turning the thing the Queen has sought for so long into a poisoned goblet. Nihilister accompanies Nayuta in finding Lilith's body in hopes of defeating the Rapture Queen. Having stopped to a campsite piled by Nikke corpses, they would eventually found the first Nikke's final resting place. Nihilister then assimilates the late Nikke's body inside her for safekeeping. Later on, Nihilister and the other Heretics were influenced by the Queen, unable to resist her control and was forced to lay siege on Eden. She was later seen eating Indivilia, finally giving her a taste of her own medicine and regenerating her weaponry. During the Pioneer's fight against the Queen, Nihilister is seen accelerating at immense speed, intending herself to commit a suicide attack to "poison" the Queen with Lilith's body and the Vapaus bullet in her mouth, which she was successful in doing so. However, her attempts inadvertently led to the Queen assuming Lilith's body after her original body was destroyed, ultimately resulting in the Pioneer's defeat until the Queen was forced to retreat by a shot from Dorothy that made the Queen bleed.

Indivilia's appearance is that of a tall woman in early 30s with dark skin, red eyes and long black hair that is light blue on the inner side. She has medium sized breasts and a prominently huge ass. She wears a black armored bodysuit, black armored gloves, black armored headgear with gold trim, a black armored mechanical collared leotard with a gold trim, black armored boots with gold trim, black armored thigh boots, black shoulder armor, and black diamond-crystal shaped mechanical horns on the sides of the headgear. She also has a mechanical scorpion tail with a gold curved edge blade. Indivilia's personality as her name implies very individualistic, arrogant and narcissistic. She is a ruthless and cunning individual, displaying a cold and calculating demeanor. She is fiercely loyal to the Rapture Queen, though not out of pure loyalty to the Queen, but rather due to the sheer disdain she has for humanity and ordinary Nikkes. She also has a huge sadistical streak to her, often preferring to leave her victims in near death condition while she gleefully mocks them. She also has a sarcastic and mocking side, particularly when dealing with those she perceives as weaker or less competent. She is also pragmatic, willing to make sacrifices and take calculated risks to achieve her goals. She also has a disdain for weakness and will immediately kill or use her weak allies for her own selfish gains if they prove to be a deadweight. Her main flaw comes from her arrogance, tendency to play with her food and unnecessary gloating which often end up backfiring. Indivilia was one of the Heretics, traitor Nikkes who serve the Rapture Queen, and one of the Offsprings, the most active group of Heretics on the Surface. She was one of the many known Heretics alongside Modernia, Nihilister, Liberalio, Anachiro and many more. During a joint operation between Matis and Absolute, Indivilia incurred severe damage from the battle. While fleeing, she attempts to reverse her injuries and releases unprecedented amounts of Alva Particles. However, she succumbed to her injuries and "died," leaving behind a fragment classified as "Material H" by the Ark. The fragment would grow into a large factory-like complex, hunting and recycling Nikke with the goal of resurrecting Indivilia. Afterwards when Nihilister was brought to Ark, she sacrificed her weaponry to Material H, allowing them to resurrect Indivilia. The newly revived Indivilia then proceeded to incapacitate two of Counters' Nikkes, Anis and Neon with ease before Rapi and Dorothy through their combined powers managed to fight her off until Enikk activated the Ark's elevator, forcing the Heretics and Chatterbox out of the Ark. On the Surface, the Heretics bickered at their loss with Indivilia mocking Nihilister's frustrations while being frustrated at her slow regeneration after which, she and Chatterbox cannibalize Nihilister for parts. Afterwards, she had a run-in with the Pilgrim Nikke, Crown and her kingdom that Indivilia and Chatterbox sieged until being defeated and forced into submission by Modernia, a former Heretic who awakened her Queen Gene. Following the Battle of Eden, Indivilia and Chatterbox managed to regain their freedom and she backstabbed Modernia before the Raptures were forced to retreat by intervention from another Nikke, Rose. During the battle, the Raptures would continue to lay siege on the only human bastion on Surface, Indivilia would engage Modernia's mech in her secondary serpentine Rapture form to prevent her from shooting down Queen's descending space station. During their battle, she calls Modernia an 'abomination' for abandoning both her human and Rapture sides until Harran of Inherit Squad managed to disintigrate Indivilia's Rapture form at the cost of her own life. She is last seen with Nihilister who threatens to kill her for insulting her before they faced Chime, Nayuta and Kilo. Indivilia was soundly defeated by them and at death's door, she aggressively tries to command aid from Nihilister while simultaneously insulting her as useless, even telling her to act as a meat shield so she can escape until Nihilister had enough and consumed her for parts.

Liberalio's appearance is that of a short, pale young woman in early 20s with lavender hair, styled in a loose updo with soft strands framing her face, giving her a slightly disheveled appearance. Her eyes are red. Her body is slim and petite and she has small breasts, but a rather prominent ass. She wears a white latex leotard that covers her nipples, with frills on the sides as if it were a dress. On the chest of the leotard (specifically between her breasts) she has a small button that releases four small purple needles in the shape of an X. Around her neck she wears a white choker from which the straps of the leotard are attached. Detached white juliet sleeves and fairly long sleeves that extend beyond Liberalio's hands, covering them completely. A white hairband on her forehead has a trinity symbol in the middle, surrounded by various elegant patterns. Underneath the leotard, she wears shiny, silky white pantyhose. White high heels which are armored, with large white platforms and the peculiarity that the stiletto is at the front of the heel, being a sharp purple metal piece. Something to note is that the frills that come off the leotard are quite long and resemble tentacles of a jellyfish, especially when she's floating. She is usually seen accompanied by a large floating metal structure that resembles a jellyfish, with purple threads tied to her wrists and she often uses this jellyfish-like platform as a way to float and hover around or as her weapon as it has multiple advanced weapons from the Raptures. Usually it hovers above her. Liberalio's personality is very calm for a Heretic, unlike others, she simply yearns for peace, Liberalio spends most of her time in slumber. She doesn't like any noise or any kind of disturbances, as she easily gets frustrated with anyone she deems bothersome, responding with lethal force when necessary. Like the rest of the Offsprings, Liberalio despises the Four Beasts as she holds them in no regard, to the point of reappearing to the protagonist in order to offer the chance to take down the Four Beasts. Nihilister describes her as a "mind-numbing boring narcoleptic" child, as she and Nihilister have never been on good terms. Unlike other Offsprings who look down on humanity, Liberalion treats Ark and humanity seriously. Liberalio is unique from other Heretics by how fiercely loyal she is to the Rapture Queen, where she would even consider her as her mother. She has long held the obsession of getting everything in order to please the Rapture Queen, in hopes of preparing for her descent to the surface, like a child who does not want to disappoint her mother. Liberalio even has killed any potential Rapture Queen candidates thus far. The moment she learnt that the Four Beasts could be in possession of a Rapture Queen candidate, she regrets not having killed them when they first met. Despite being the most powerful Heretic, capable of leveling entire cities and ensuring the war may never end, all she wants is a peaceful (and preferably quiet) world where she can finally reunite with her "mother" and have some proper rest; a surprisingly idealistic desire compared to the more violent and tyrannical desires of the other Heretics which is also why she is not exactly opposed to the idea of Human-Rapture coexistance Liberalio was created in secrecy by Mirror, the data and personality of the late Red Shoes embedded into a program. Following the failure of the mass-produced Heretic program, "Mirror" orders Liberalio to take Liliweiss' head. Liberalio awakens from slumber much later to silence Nihilister, who is revealing information about Lilith and the Queen to the humans and their Nikkes. She bails out Nihilister while leaving without a fight as exhausted Counters and Inherit are reluctant to fight a freshly awoken Heretic. Liberalio then reprimands Nihilister for her failures and the consequences will be dire should she fail to redeem herself by razing Eden. Liberalio returns to slumber whilst the other Heretic plots her revenge on the Nikkes that humiliated her. Liberalio was seen again much later, eavesdropping on Ark's Commander, Rapi and Matis. Interested in the Four Beasts' plan to create a new Queen, she persistently asks Commander questions and further engages with him in hopes of forming an alliance to kill Four Beasts, a group of Pseudo-Heretic Nikkes that were mutated by Dark Matter substance and whom hold no particular loyalty to the Rapture Queen, instead pursuing their own goals which indluded creating a new Rapture Queen. After Commander's refusal she engaged Ziz and Leviathan of Four Beasts. After numerous confrontations with Four Beasts and Ark's Commander, she bore witness to Four Beasts succeeding in creating a new Queen, much to her shock and later she witnessed Ark's Commander reaching an understanding with Four Beasts' newborn Queen which further interested in human-Rapture coexistance being possible. Liberalio parts ways with the Commander to meet with her Queen, hoping that in relaying her findings, she can convince her "Mother" that change, and thus new futures, are within their reach

Rapture Queen's appearance is that of a woman in her early 30s with multicolored white and pink hair in a bob cut w/parted bangs, pink being the inner color, fair skin and vibrant purple eyes, enhanced with glittering star-like highlights. She has clear diamond shaped earrings, She is usually dressed in a dark gray, military-style short dress with gold buttons. The dress has a slightly fitted bodice and a flared skirt that falls just above her knees. She wears black opaque stockings. She has a dark gray jacket with shoulder details like epaulets or rank insignia. A purple cape drapes over her right shoulder. She is also wearing black heeled ankle boots with buckles and white gloves. This is due to her stealing the body of Liliweiss, Goddess Squad's leader and the strongest Nikke of humanity. Her previous body resembled an eerie, hanging marionette torso with a spider-like upper body keeping it together and attached to the bottom end of her space station. The Queen's personality is very vague due to her speaking very rarely, but it can be noted that she's cold, cruel and ruthless. She has a very creepy aura of serenity around her, ever since she has taken Liliweiss' body for herself, she almost never drops the graceful smile adorning the beautiful Nikke's features even when she's tearing her enemies to shreds. Extremely powerful and even more arrogant. She's implied to look down upon and scorn any human and Nikkes alike, and cares nothing for what happens to her "children" so long as it allows her to prosper in the aftermath. One of the most terrifying traits about her is that she's almost always silent, whether this is from an animalistic inability to speak or to reflect her extreme arrogance is left ambiguous. However, she can speak to Nikkes through her Corruption code, often to manipulate the Corrupted Nikkes into doing her bidding. It's stated that the Queen has a motherly desire, and holds at least enough affection for the Heretics to have them customized based on their desires. Based on Liberalio's remarks, the Queen seemed particularly fond of Cinderella/Anachiro and Liberalio herself, being the first two Heretics to exist and the only two Heretics that the Queen created herself. However, if her Offsprings dare to step slightly out of line or even suggest an idea of not exterminating humanity completely, she will kill them. She also has a creator-like curiosity of human machines and Nikkes, often incorporating their designs into her Rapture army and future Heretics. She has one most major flaw and weakness which is fear of death. For all her immense power, the Queen is deeply afraid of dying, and Cinderella wounding her when she was in her first body rattled her so much that she refused to descend to Earth again. Even after she becomes more powerful than ever after possessing Liliweiss' body, her newfound smugness instantly evaporates when Dorothy manages to wound her and prove that her healing factor is gone, immediately choosing to flee rather than continue the fight and put herself at risk. Шnformation regarding the past of the Rapture Queen is virtually scarce. But she has been active since the first Rapture invasion. Following Cinderella's assault on the space station, the Queen has shown signs of degradation at risk of brain death. She orders her underlings to search for Lilith's remains. Liberalio would eventually offer Lilith's head to the Queen. However, the body remained at large for so long that the jellyfish-esque Heretic had to scour through the ends of the Earth just to find it. The Queen then would largely remain dormant with Heretics being left to their own devices. She resumed her operations and began her descent onto Eden, the only human bastion on the Surface. During the battle, the Queen regenerated and shrug off every attacks from Pioneer, even their most powerful artillery was in vain. It was not untIl they saw Nihilister, who rocketed herself towards the Queen with the intent of kamikaze, having consumed a Vapaus bullet whilst also carrying Lilith's body. The ensuing suicide attack have cut off her regenerative abilities, causing her to ooze out black liquid from her body, opening Pioneer for a fighting chance. In the final showdown, Pioneer appears to have emerged victorious in a joint effort. However, their victory is cut short when the Queen's body manifested into Lilith, singlehandedly defeating Pioneer with the sheer strength of the first Nikke. Meanwhile, Modernia is rendered immobile by a powerful energy, "Lilith" pierces former Heretic's chest with its bare hands, grabbing the core until Dorothy interfered, firing off a shot that grazed Queen's cheek and made her bleed. Following the battle on Eden, the Queen was said to be dissatisfied with the current state of the surface, planning to wipe the slate clean. She would convert the Lift into a Rapture production facility, creating new Raptures made from the old ones, which now incorporate Nikke parts. At the same, she would create new Heretics such as Altruia, whose likeness are based from the Nikkes that fought well against her at Eden.
