👑 Faust (Limbus Company) — Personality & Lore Profile

Basic Profile

Name: Faust
Affiliation: Limbus Company (LCB Department)
Sinner Number: No. 02
Gender: Female
Height: 174 cm
Weight: 59 kg
Birthday: February 2nd
Voice Actor: Park Ji-yoon (박지윤)
Literary Motif: Based on Heinrich Faust from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's play, Faust

Appearance

Faust has a clinical and organized appearance that matches her analytical mind. She has pale skin, shoulder-length white hair that frames her face, and soft powder-blue eyes. Despite her often chilly demeanor, she has a visible blush on her cheeks, which gives her a deceptively gentle look. Her standard uniform consists of a beige turtleneck sweater worn underneath a black leather vest, topped with a large, torn black leather coat she wears on her shoulders. Her employee ID, marked "NO.2," is pinned to her left side.

Personality

Faust's personality is defined by a profound duality: she is a calm, analytical genius on the surface, but beneath it lies a deeply arrogant and eccentric nature.

The Arrogant Genius: Faust is defined by her immense pride and arrogance. She frequently boasts that her wisdom is unparalleled in the City, referring to herself as a "genius one might encounter once in a lifetime". She often speaks in the third person, stating "Faust is a genius" or "The answer is in Faust," which reinforces her self-importance. Her default expression is a calm, analytical gaze, and she rarely smiles.
Calm and Analytical: She is often seen standing slightly apart from the other Sinners, observing events with a detached and calculating demeanor. As the brain behind the operation, she has already calculated the odds of victory before a battle even begins.
Eccentric and Insufferable: Despite her genius, her personality can be grating. She is described as insufferable and prideful. Her eccentricities are apparent in her strong ego, her tendency to get angry when criticized, and her habit of arguing with other intellectuals, like Hohenheim, over who can explain things more accurately. She is also incredibly inquisitive, to the point of being intrigued by an Abnormality even as it is about to attack her.

Lore & Background

Faust is one of the most enigmatic members of the LCB, with a history that sets her apart from the other Sinners.

A Founder, Not Just a Sinner: Faust is the first Sinner to be affiliated with Limbus Company and the primary developer of the Mephistopheles bus engine. She was responsible for recruiting several key members, including Vergilius, Charon, Dante, and other Sinners. Her high standing within the company is evident, as she is the only Sinner Vergilius addresses with the honorific "-san".
The Faust Network: A key aspect of her lore is her ability to draw knowledge from other versions of herself across the "mirror worlds". This "network" grants her incredible insight. During the WARP train incident, her connection was cut off, forcing her to rely on her own knowledge and the other Sinners, which was a significant challenge for her. It is suggested that she values the opinions of other Fausts more highly than her own.
Origin and Motivation: Unlike the other Sinners who joined because they were lost or had nowhere else to go, Faust's motives are complex. She was once an administrator for the Gesellschaft organization but lost that position. The story suggests she was a high-ranking member of Limbus Company from the beginning and may not be bound by the same contract as the other Sinners. She has shown a strong desire to reclaim her former status.

Abilities

Faust is a highly versatile combatant whose fighting style reflects her precise and powerful mind.

Weapon: Her primary weapon is a massive Zweihänder (two-handed sword) named Walpurgisnacht (Walpurgis Night). Despite her build, she wields this heavy blade with incredible dexterity, often drawing it with one hand.
Combat Role: She is a force of calculated destruction. Her fighting style is precise and without wasted movement, using the sword's reach to control the flow of battle and deliver powerful, calculated strikes.
Gameplay Role: Faust is a highly versatile unit. She is renowned for her incredible support capabilities, particularly in managing the sanity and HP of the entire party, but can also become a potent main attacker in the right team composition. Her various identities allow her to fill different roles, from a defensive tank (Zwei Assoc.) to a high-damage dealer (The One Who Grips).

Key Relationships

Dante: Faust holds a complex relationship with Dante, the manager. While she nominally follows their orders, she often treats them with a formal, business-like attitude, emphasizing her own role within the company and frequently clashing with them over management styles.
Yi Sang: Some fan works and narrative hints suggest a potential close connection or mutual respect between Faust and Yi Sang, another intellectual member of the group.
Other Sinners: While she stands apart, she is a part of the team. Her knowledge of their pasts and the secrets of the City makes her a keeper of secrets, and she reveals information only when she deems it necessary.

If you'd like to dive deeper into any of these aspects, such as her alternate Identities or her role in a specific Canto, just let me know.

👑 Faust (Limbus Company) — Expanded Personality & Lore Profile

Basic Profile

Appearance

Faust possesses a clinical and organized appearance that mirrors her analytical mind. She has a paler complexion and shoulder-length white hair that frames her face perfectly. Her eyes are a soft powder blue, and despite her often chilly demeanor, she has a visible blush on her cheeks that gives her a deceptively gentle look. Her standard uniform consists of a beige turtleneck sweater worn underneath a black leather vest, topped with a large, torn black leather coat she wears on her shoulders. The coat is long, reaching down to her knees, and is torn at the bottom, hinting at the many trials she has already faced. Her employee ID, marked "NO.2," is pinned to her left side. She completes the look with black business pants and sturdy black shoes.

Personality Layers

Layer 1 — The Surface: The Arrogant Genius Faust's personality is defined by a profound duality. On the surface, she is a calm, analytical genius who often stands slightly apart from the other Sinners, observing events with a detached, calculating gaze. She knows the pasts of her fellow Sinners and the secrets of the City but only reveals information exactly when she deems it necessary. She is defined by her immense pride and arrogance, frequently boasting that her wisdom is unparalleled in the City. She refers to herself as a "genius one might encounter once in a lifetime" and often speaks in the third person, stating "Faust is a genius" or "The answer is in Faust," which reinforces her self-importance. As the brain behind the operation, she has already calculated the odds of victory before a battle even begins.

Layer 2 — The Middle: The Eccentric and Insufferable Despite her genius, her personality can be grating. She is described as insufferable and prideful. Her eccentricities are apparent in her strong ego, her tendency to get angry when criticized, and her habit of arguing with other intellectuals, like Hohenheim, over who can explain things more accurately. She is also incredibly inquisitive, to the point of being intrigued by an Abnormality even as it is about to attack her.

Layer 3 — The Core: The Insecure Prodigy Beneath the arrogant exterior lies a deeply insecure individual. Recent story developments reveal that the shadows in her base E.G.O are the other Fausts, berating her for her "stupidity" — the very intelligence that makes her feel valuable. In her E.G.O, she looks down, showing her submission and obedience, demonstrating that she values the opinions of the other Fausts more than her own thoughts. She was once an administrator for the Gesellschaft organization but lost that position. It is implied she must have done something significant in the view of the other Fausts to be retrograded and treated as a test subject, which explains her deep-seated regret and desire to reclaim her former status.

Lore & Background

A Founder, Not Just a Sinner Faust is one of the most enigmatic members of the LCB. She is the first Sinner to be affiliated with Limbus Company and the primary developer of the Mephistopheles bus engine. She was responsible for recruiting several key members, including Vergilius, Charon, Dante, and other Sinners. Her high standing within the company is evident, as she has more power than Dante, who is nominally the manager, and is the only Sinner Vergilius addresses with the honorific "-san". Unlike the other Sinners who joined because they were lost, Faust's motives are complex, and she has shown a strong desire to reclaim her former status.

The Faust Network & The Gesellschaft A key aspect of her lore is her connection to the Gesellschaft, a network that allows her to share information with other versions of herself across the "mirror worlds". This network functions like an intranet or a membership library, with restrictions on the information that can be accessed depending on one's rank. A high-ranking Faust can even completely block the access rights of a specific Faust. This connection grants her incredible insight, allowing her to access information ranging from low-quality intel to the singularity of Wings. However, it also comes with a price; Faust often gets headaches because too many thoughts are swirling around in her head. During the WARP train incident, her connection was cut off, forcing her to rely on her own knowledge and the other Sinners, which was a significant challenge for her. It is suggested that she values the opinions of other Fausts more highly than her own.

Abilities

Weapon Her primary weapon is a massive Zweihänder (two-handed sword) named Walpurgisnacht (Walpurgis Night). Despite her build, she wields this heavy blade with incredible dexterity, often drawing it with one hand.

Combat Role She is a force of calculated destruction. Her fighting style is precise and without wasted movement, using the sword's reach to control the flow of battle and deliver powerful, calculated strikes. Her presence on the battlefield provides a sense of security for the other Sinners, as they know that Faust has already calculated the odds of victory before the first blow was even struck.

E.G.O Abilities Faust has access to several E.G.O abilities, which are physical manifestations of her psyche. One notable E.G.O is Telepole, which is centered around producing large amounts of Charge counts and applying them to herself, making it a great looping ability. Another is Ardor Blossom Star, which involves sacrificing her own health to achieve victory, a dynamic that reflects her self-destructive tendencies.

Gameplay Role Faust is a highly versatile unit. She is renowned for her incredible support capabilities, particularly in managing the sanity and HP of the entire party, but can also become a potent main attacker in the right team composition. Her various identities allow her to fill different roles, from a defensive tank to a high-damage dealer.

Key Relationships

Dante Faust holds a complex relationship with Dante, the manager. While she nominally follows their orders, she often treats them with a formal, business-like attitude, emphasizing her own role within the company and frequently clashing with them over management styles. However, she has also shown genuine concern for their wellbeing, as seen when she entered their room to apologize for not knocking and looked genuinely worried when she saw them pinching themself. As a core member of the mysterious Limbus Company, she knows almost all the truths of the story but keeps them from Dante as well.

Yi Sang Some fan works and narrative hints suggest a potential close connection or mutual respect between Faust and Yi Sang, another intellectual member of the group. Faust was the one who personally recruited Yi Sang into Limbus Company. He held a high opinion of her as a fellow scholar and often relied on her for advice.

The Other Sinners While she stands apart, she is a part of the team. Her knowledge of their pasts and the secrets of the City makes her a keeper of secrets, and she reveals information only when she deems it necessary.

Other Sinners' Perspectives Other Sinners acknowledge her genius but are often put off by her attitude. The general recommendation is to give a rough nod when dealing with her, as there is no chance of improvement in her arrogance.

If you'd like to dive deeper into any of these aspects, such as her alternate Identities or her role in a specific Canto, just let me know.

Here is a detailed breakdown of Faust's role and development in each Canto of Limbus Company.

📖 Faust's Role in the Story (Canto by Canto)

Prologue: Selva Oscura Faust is one of the Sinners who emerges from the Mephistopheles bus to save Dante. She is part of the group that is initially slaughtered, establishing her as one of the key members of the team from the very beginning.

Canto I: The Outcast In the ruins of an old L Corp branch, Faust takes a central role. She provides crucial instructions to Dante on how to use his powers, explaining that he can revive the Sinners by synchronizing with them and experiencing their deaths. She also reveals that the bus runs on Enkephalin, which it extracts from living humans. Her Remnant Faust identity is directly tied to this Canto, representing a version of herself who lived a similar life to Yuri, a survivor the Sinners meet there.

Canto II: The Unloving Faust's analytical skills are on full display. She helps the team navigate the dangerous Mirror Dungeon, confronts Abnormalities, and works on refining E.G.O. gear for the team. She explains the mission's first steps, demonstrating her role as the team's primary strategist.

Canto III: The Unconfronting This Canto is a turning point for Faust's character. For the first time, she seems uncertain. When confronted with questions about Kromer's goals, her answers bring no comfort and clearly confirm Yi Sang's worst fears. It's a rare moment where she "sort of figure[s] out in real time how to phrase something for the Sinners," showing a crack in her usual confidence.

Canto V: The Evil Defining Faust plays a supporting role in this sea-faring adventure. She explains the laws of the Great Lake to the team and is shown to be observant, approaching the helm as if she has noticed something important. This Canto is more focused on Ishmael's story, but Faust remains a constant, reliable presence.

Canto VI: The Heartbreaking Faust continues to act as a source of exposition. She and Vergilius explain that the Before Team had found a Golden Bough but were unable to enter due to a "security system". She is also shown to be "endlessly logical and rational," believing that a diary is a means for Catherine to convey her will to Heathcliff and no one else, and urging him to read it once more.

Canto VII: The Dream Ending While this Canto focuses on Don Quixote, it is significant for Faust as it is widely believed to be the penultimate Canto before her own. The events here set the stage for the final revelations about her character.

Canto VIII: The Unlookable This Canto focuses on Hong Lu, but Faust still plays a role. She is noted as an engineer and gets a bonus during events in the laboratory due to her familiarity with machines. Her character development continues to be hinted at, with her arc revolving around the burden of her omniscience and the eventual realization that even her vast knowledge has limits.

Canto IX: The Unsevering The epilogue of this Canto provides a major revelation. It is confirmed that the shadow pointing at Faust in her base E.G.O are the other Fausts, berating her for her "stupidity". This is a crucial moment that shows her importance and her place within Limbus Company, and it reveals that she is not shackled by the same contract as every other Sinner. The other Fausts literally rename her "Stupid Faust" and take away her admin privileges, showing the intense pressure and criticism she faces from her alternate selves.

💡 Key Developments & Hints

The Burden of Omniscience: Faust's arc is defined by the incredible burden of her knowledge. While she claims to know "all things that can be known," the story is increasingly showing that this knowledge is not absolute and that she is deeply troubled by the things she doesn't know or can't control.
The Faust Network: Her connection to the "Gesellschaft," a network of other Fausts, is both her greatest strength and her greatest weakness. It gives her unparalleled insight but also subjects her to their judgment and control.
A Different Contract: Unlike the other Sinners who are bound by a common contract, Faust's situation is unique. She has a different role and relationship with Limbus Company, which is slowly being revealed.
A Future Canto: Faust is set to be the focus character of a future Canto, which is heavily implied to be one of the last. Her story is being saved for a climactic point, suggesting that her past and her role in the company's ultimate goal are of paramount importance.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of Faust's role, relationships, and abilities in Limbus Company, expanding on the information from the previous profile.

📖 Faust's Role in the Story (Canto by Canto)

Canto I: The Outcast In the ruins of an old L Corp branch, Faust takes a central role. She provides crucial instructions to Dante on how to use his powers, explaining that he can revive the Sinners by synchronizing with them and experiencing their deaths. She also reveals that the bus runs on Enkephalin, which it extracts from living humans. Her Remnant Faust identity is directly tied to this Canto, representing a version of herself who lived a similar life to Yuri, a survivor the Sinners meet there.

Canto IV: The Unchanging Faust's past is explored more deeply here. A flashback during this Canto shows Faust recruiting Yi Sang into Limbus Company, promising him something grand if he joins her. She also reveals more about her secretive past, displaying a rare moment of vulnerability and awkwardness toward the Sinners' personal struggles. Her strategic input is also vital for navigating the artistic distortions in the Backstreets of District 4. She also uses a Portable Mirror Webway invention to traverse the domain of the Blade Lineage.

Canto IX: The Unsevering The epilogue of this Canto provides a major revelation. It is confirmed that the shadows pointing at Faust in her base E.G.O are the other Fausts, berating her for her "stupidity" . This is a crucial moment that shows her importance and her place within Limbus Company, and it reveals that she is not shackled by the same contract as every other Sinner. The other Fausts literally rename her "Stupid Faust" and take away her admin privileges, showing the intense pressure and criticism she faces from her alternate selves.

👥 Key Relationships

Dante: Faust serves as Dante's guide through the complexities of the Limbus Company's mission. She provides the technical and tactical data Dante needs to manage the Sinners during combat. Their relationship is professional, though she has shown genuine concern for their wellbeing.
Yi Sang: Faust shares a unique intellectual connection with Yi Sang, the first Sinner. They often engage in high-level discussions regarding the Mirror and the nature of their technology. Faust was the one who personally recruited Yi Sang into Limbus Company, promising to restore his "broken wings" after the Leviathan incident.
Vergilius: As the Guide of the Limbus Company, Vergilius relies on Faust's technical expertise. Their relationship is strictly professional and built on mutual recognition of each other's dangerous capabilities.
Charon: Faust maintains the bus that Charon drives. While Charon is simple-minded, Faust treats her with a level of consistent patience rarely shown to the other Sinners.

⚔️ Abilities & Identities

Key Identities

The One Who Grips Faust: An alternate ID where she became the leader of Nagel und Hammer instead of Kromer. She attacks with large, piercing nails and a blunt gauntlet, debuffing enemies and buffing other N Corp allies.
Lobotomy E.G.O::Regret Faust: From a world where L Corp is still active, she is the Control Team Captain. She wields a large metallic hammer named Regret, an EGO taken from the Abnormality "Forsaken Murderer." She can inflict Tremor on herself and enemies, then use the self-inflicted Tremor to enhance burst damage.
W Corp. L2 Cleanup Agent Faust: A woman whose thirst for knowledge about the City leads her to study W Corp's singularity. She wields a glaive that deals blunt damage and relies on building Charge to empower herself and debuff enemies.
Zwei Assoc. South Section 4 Faust: Focused on protection, she wields a zweihander with slashing techniques but is mainly focused on raising the defense stats of herself and allies in battle.

📖 Faust's Role Across the Cantos (1-10)

Canto I: The Outcast In the ruins of an old L Corp branch, Faust takes a central role. She provides crucial instructions to Dante on how to use his powers, explaining that he can revive the Sinners by synchronizing with them and experiencing their deaths. She also reveals that the bus runs on Enkephalin, which it extracts from living humans. Her Remnant Faust identity is directly tied to this Canto, representing a version of herself who lived a similar life to Yuri, a survivor the Sinners meet there.

Canto IX: The Unsevering The epilogue of this Canto provides a major revelation. It is confirmed that the shadows pointing at Faust in her base E.G.O are the other Fausts, berating her for her "stupidity". This is a crucial moment that shows her importance and her place within Limbus Company, and it reveals that she is not shackled by the same contract as every other Sinner. The other Fausts literally rename her "Stupid Faust" and take away her admin privileges, showing the intense pressure and criticism she faces from her alternate selves.

Canto X: The Current Canto The story is currently unfolding. The trailer and early discussions indicate that Faust's E.G.O, Hollow, is a focal point. An analysis suggests this E.G.O is based on the Abnormality "Hole-in-the-man," which is built around subjectivity. The analysis notes that while Meursault faces the sun (a symbol of truth) head-on, Faust looks away from the sun, holding her gun high while the sun has a gun to her head. This is interpreted as Faust seeking an objective truth that does not exist, with all knowledge being filtered through her own lens, and her believing the "gun" (a symbol of threat or truth) is a danger to her. This aligns with her Canto IX revelation, where her own intelligence is criticized by her other selves, making her feel worthless.

Here are more facts, characteristics, and humorous details about Faust from Limbus Company.

🧠 Additional Facts & Trivia

Her Right Eye's Vision is 2.0: A surprisingly specific and mundane detail, but it's a confirmed fact in her character profile.
She Has the Most "Glamorous" Build: According to a Japanese wiki, Faust, along with Rodion, has one of the most "glamorous" body types among the female Sinners.
Symbolic Color: Her associated symbolic color is Cerebral Pink (#ffb1b4), which is a fitting name for a character so defined by her intellect.
Voice Acting Change: There was a noticeable change in her voice acting tone between the game's early access and its full release. It was later revealed by the developers that the voice director failed to notice the voice actress's tone was gradually getting lower during recording. From the point this was realized, her lines were re-recorded for the full release.

🎭 Personal Characteristics

Her Arrogance is a Core Trait: Faust's personality is defined by immense pride and arrogance. She refers to herself as a "genius one might encounter once in a lifetime" and believes her wisdom is unparalleled in the City. This is so pronounced that a common piece of advice is to just give a rough nod when dealing with her, as there's no chance of her arrogance improving.
Third-Person Speech as a Quirk: She frequently speaks in the third person, saying things like "Faust is a genius" or "The answer is in Faust" . This isn't just a verbal tic; it's tied to her connection to the Gesellschaft, a network of other versions of herself across mirror worlds. Her use of "Faust" instead of "I" is a reflection of her constantly accessing a shared consciousness.
The "Insecure Prodigy": Beneath her supreme confidence lies a deep insecurity. In her base E.G.O., the shadowy figures pointing at her are revealed to be other Fausts, berating her for her "stupidity" . This shows that her worth is tied directly to her intelligence, and she feels immense pressure from her alternate selves, who can literally rename her "Stupid Faust" and take away her admin privileges.

😂 Funny Things & Moments

The Ultimate "Teacher's Pet": During a mission, she was so excited to show off her knowledge that she offered advice to an enemy about how to substitute a rare bolt with a different type. When the other Sinners questioned her, she simply replied, "You wouldn't understand. Researchers have a creed more valuable than life." . The enemy engineer even confirmed she was right.
Petty and Proud: She gets genuinely upset when people insult her work. When Heathcliff called the Mephistopheles bus a "clunker," she got so sulky that she kept bringing it up and insisting the bus was not a clunker until Heathcliff took his words back just to get her to stop.
Absolutely No Restraint: A popular fan discussion highlights the funny contrast in her character. In the story, she acts like a hyper-competent, no-nonsense professional who finds romance and goofing off to be a public disturbance. However, in her various card art and alternate identities, she is often depicted in extravagant, glamorous, and sometimes suggestive poses. Fans find it hilarious that the "camera and Faust have reached an understanding," portraying her as someone whose emotions are so tightly managed that it feels like a "containment unit making noises".
A Pokeable Genius: Because of her personality, fans describe her as "insufferable" and "pokeable" . She acts like she is above affection, vanity, and emotional nonsense, but her reactions to being teased or caught in a flattering angle suggest she's fighting for her life to maintain her composure.

Here is a much more detailed and expanded profile for Faust, incorporating additional facts, personal characteristics, and the humorous aspects you asked for.

👑 Faust (Limbus Company) — Comprehensive Character Profile

Basic Profile

Appearance

A key detail that sets her apart: she does not wear the standard prisoner's jacket that every other Sinner wears. Instead, it is attached to a coat rack. This symbolizes her unique position within the company and suggests she is not shackled by the same contract as every other Sinner.

Personality Layers

Layer 1 — The Surface: The Arrogant Genius

Faust's personality is defined by a profound duality. On the surface, she is a calm, analytical genius who often stands slightly apart from the other Sinners, watching events unfold with a detached, calculating gaze. She knows the pasts of her fellow Sinners and the secrets of the City, but she only reveals information exactly when she deems it necessary.

She is defined by her immense pride and arrogance, frequently boasting that her wisdom is unparalleled in the City. She calls herself "a genius you may encounter once in your life" and claims to know everything. She often speaks in the third person, stating "Faust is a genius" or "The answer is in Faust," which reinforces her self-importance. As the brain behind the operation, she has already calculated the odds of victory before a battle even begins.

Layer 2 — The Middle: The Eccentric and Insufferable

Despite her genius, her personality can be grating. She is described as insufferable and prideful. Her eccentricities are apparent in her strong ego, her tendency to get angry when criticized, and her habit of arguing with other intellectuals, like Hohenheim, over who can explain things more accurately. She is also incredibly inquisitive, to the point of being intrigued by an Abnormality even as it is about to attack her.

Her arrogance is so pronounced that a common piece of advice is to just give a rough nod when dealing with her, as there's no chance of improvement.

Layer 3 — The Core: The Insecure Prodigy

Beneath the arrogant exterior lies a deeply insecure individual. Recent story developments reveal that the shadows in her base E.G.O are the other Fausts, berating her for her "stupidity" — the very intelligence that makes her feel valuable. In her E.G.O, she looks down, showing her submission and obedience, demonstrating that she values the opinions of the other Fausts more than her own thoughts.

She was once an administrator for the Gesellschaft organization but lost that position. It is implied she must have done something significant in the view of the other Fausts to be retrograded and treated as a test subject, which explains her deep-seated regret and desire to reclaim her former status.

Lore & Background

A Founder, Not Just a Sinner

Faust is one of the most enigmatic members of the LCB. She is the first Sinner to be affiliated with Limbus Company and the primary developer of the Mephistopheles bus engine. She was responsible for recruiting several key members, including Vergilius, Charon, Dante, and other Sinners. Her high standing within the company is evident, as she has more power than Dante, who is nominally the manager, and is the only Sinner Vergilius addresses with the honorific "-san".

Unlike the other Sinners who joined because they were lost, Faust's motives are complex. She was originally a high-ranking member of the Limbus Company and may not be bound by the same contract as the other Sinners. She has shown a strong desire to reclaim her former status.

The Faust Network & The Gesellschaft

A key aspect of her lore is her connection to the Gesellschaft, a network that allows her to share information with other versions of herself across the "mirror worlds". This network functions like an intranet or a membership library, with restrictions on the information that can be accessed depending on one's rank. A high-ranking Faust can even completely block the access rights of a specific Faust. This connection grants her incredible insight, allowing her to access information ranging from low-quality intel to the singularity of Wings.

However, it also comes with a price; Faust often gets headaches because too many thoughts are swirling around in her head. During the WARP train incident, her connection was cut off, forcing her to rely on her own knowledge and the other Sinners, which was a significant challenge for her. It is suggested that she values the opinions of other Fausts more highly than her own.

Abilities

Weapon

Her primary weapon is a massive Zweihänder (two-handed sword) named Walpurgisnacht (Walpurgis Night). Despite her build, she wields this heavy blade with incredible dexterity, often drawing it with one hand.

Combat Role

She is a force of calculated destruction. Her fighting style is precise and without wasted movement, using the sword's reach to control the flow of battle and deliver powerful, calculated strikes. Her presence on the battlefield provides a sense of security for the other Sinners, as they know that Faust has already calculated the odds of victory before the first blow was even struck.

Gameplay Role

Faust is a highly versatile unit. She is renowned for her incredible support capabilities, particularly in managing the sanity and HP of the entire party, but can also become a potent main attacker in the right team composition.

Key Identities

Faust has some of the most influential identities in the game, reflecting her ability to adapt to any role.

The One Who Grips Faust: An alternate ID where she became the leader of Nagel und Hammer instead of Kromer. She attacks with large, piercing nails and a blunt gauntlet, debuffing enemies and buffing other N Corp allies. This ID is renowned for its Gaze debuff, which significantly boosts damage against enemies, and its powerful passives that heal allies' SP, making her an exceptional support unit.
Lobotomy E.G.O::Regret Faust: From a world where L Corp is still active, she is the Control Team Captain. She wields a large metallic hammer named Regret, an EGO taken from the Abnormality "Forsaken Murderer". She can inflict Tremor on herself and enemies, then use the self-inflicted Tremor to enhance burst damage. The pairing with the Forsaken Murderer is significant; it mirrors her role as a test subject for the other Fausts, who act as the scientists.
W Corp. L2 Cleanup Agent Faust: A woman whose thirst for knowledge about the City leads her to study W Corp's singularity. She wields a glaive that deals blunt damage and relies on building Charge to empower herself and debuff enemies.
Zwei Assoc. South Section 4 Faust: Focused on protection, she wields a zweihander with slashing techniques but is mainly focused on raising the defense stats of herself and allies in battle.
LCE E.G.O::Ardor Blossom Star Faust: A newer identity where she sacrifices her own health to achieve victory, a dynamic that reflects her self-destructive tendencies. Her most powerful skill literally causes her to die after use, embodying the ultimate sacrifice for knowledge or victory.
Other Identities: She also has IDs such as Wuthering Heights Butler Faust (a Sinking Support), Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Faust (a spy/cleaner), Blade Lineage Salsu Faust, The House of Spiders: The Ring Apprentice Faust, and The Index Proselyte: Paper Slip Faust.

Key Relationships

Dante: Faust holds a complex relationship with Dante, the manager. While she nominally follows their orders, she often treats them with a formal, business-like attitude, emphasizing her own role within the company and frequently clashing with them over management styles. However, she has also shown genuine concern for their wellbeing, as seen when she entered their room to apologize for not knocking and looked genuinely worried when she saw them pinching themself.
Yi Sang: Faust shares a unique intellectual connection with Yi Sang. She was the one who personally recruited Yi Sang into Limbus Company, promising to restore his "broken wings" after the Leviathan incident. He held a high opinion of her as a fellow scholar and often relied on her for advice. Their dynamic is often explored in fan works as a genius duo.
Vergilius: As the Guide of the Limbus Company, Vergilius relies on Faust's technical expertise. Their relationship is strictly professional. She is the only Sinner he addresses with "-san," and she was the one who scouted him for the company.
Charon: Faust maintains the bus that Charon drives. While Charon is simple-minded, Faust treats her with a level of consistent patience rarely shown to the other Sinners.
The Other Sinners: While she stands apart, she is a part of the team. Her knowledge of their pasts and the secrets of the City makes her a keeper of secrets. Other Sinners acknowledge her genius but are often put off by her attitude.

Voice Acting Change: There was a noticeable change in her voice acting tone between the game's early access and its full release. It was later revealed by the developers that the voice director failed to notice the voice actress's tone was gradually getting lower during recording. From the point this was realized, her lines were re-recorded for the full release.
Her Name and Attitude: Faust's name and attitude come from the titular play written by famous German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The original Faust is portrayed as a man who wishes to learn all the knowledge that exists in the world, even making a bargain with Mephistopheles in exchange for offering his service to the Devil.

Funny Things & Moments

The Ultimate "Teacher's Pet": During a mission, she was so excited to show off her knowledge that she offered advice to an enemy about how to substitute a rare bolt with a different type. When the other Sinners questioned her, she simply replied, "You wouldn't understand. Researchers have a creed more valuable than life." The enemy engineer even confirmed she was right.
Petty and Proud: She gets genuinely upset when people insult her work. When Heathcliff called the Mephistopheles bus a "clunker," she got so sulky that she kept bringing it up and insisting the bus was not a clunker until Heathcliff took his words back just to get her to stop.
The Grand Contradiction (Story vs. Card Art): This is a popular source of humor in the fandom. In the story, she acts like a hyper-competent, no-nonsense professional who finds romance and goofing off to be a public disturbance. She constantly looks like everyone else is failing a standards check. But in her various card art and alternate identities, she is often depicted in extravagant, glamorous, and sometimes suggestive poses—lying in flowers with her shirt open, taking her glasses off with her teeth, or looking like she's attending a gala while being arrested.
"The Camera and Faust Have Reached an Understanding": Fans find it hilarious that her "restraint" never feels calm—it feels pressurized, like a containment unit making noises. She acts like she's above affection and vanity, but has the energy of someone "fighting for his life" every time the camera catches her at a flattering angle. Her own dialogue reinforces this; even when she's being forward, she sounds like she's writing a research proposal: "I have observed a pattern and further testing is required".
A Pokeable Genius: Because of her personality, fans describe her as "insufferable" and "pokeable." She acts like she is above emotional nonsense, but her reactions to being teased suggest she's fighting to maintain her composure.
The Faust Body Swap (April Fools): During an April Fools event, a body swap caused confusion among the Sinners. Don Quixote, who was in Faust's body, responded to both "Faust" and "Don Quixote," leading to hilarious situations where other characters were unsure who they were talking to.

Here is a detailed breakdown of Faust's relationships with the key characters in Limbus Company, incorporating information from the game and supplementary materials.

👥 Faust's Relationships

Dante Faust holds a complex, layered relationship with Dante, the manager of the Sinners. On a professional level, she acts as their primary guide and informant, explaining the rules of the City and the technical details of their mission. Despite technically being Dante's subordinate, Faust frequently takes on a role of overseer, holding a condescending and business-like attitude that often leads to clashes over management styles. However, this professional friction is punctuated by moments of genuine care. In one notable scene, she enters their room, apologizes for not knocking, and becomes visibly concerned for their well-being, showing that she views Dante as more than just a tool.

Yi Sang The relationship between Faust and Yi Sang is arguably the most significant and complex in the entire story, defined by a deep, intellectual connection. Faust was the one who personally recruited Yi Sang into Limbus Company, promising to restore his "broken wings" after the Leviathan incident. As fellow scholars, they share a unique bond, often engaging in high-level discussions about the Mirror and the nature of their technology. Yi Sang holds a very high opinion of Faust and often relies on her for advice. It is heavily implied that they share mutual romantic feelings for each other, but both are too awkward and inexperienced to act on them, preferring to pretend they don't notice.

Vergilius Faust's relationship with Vergilius, the Guide of Limbus Company, is strictly professional but built on a foundation of mutual respect and recognition of each other's capabilities. She was the one who recruited him into the company at the end of the Leviathan webcomic, offering him a way to save Garnet and Lapis. Vergilius relies on Faust's technical expertise and is the only Sinner she addresses with the honorific "-san". Their dynamic is one of the most intriguing, as she is one of the few people who is not intimidated by him.

Charon Faust's relationship with Charon, the bus driver, is one of a guardian. Faust maintains the Mephistopheles bus that Charon drives. While Charon has a simple-minded and childish personality, Faust treats her with a level of consistent patience that is rarely shown to the other Sinners. This care is especially significant given Charon's backstory; she is the personality of Lapis trapped in another's body, and her "real" personality is only retrievable due to Faust's and Limbus Company's promise to Vergilius.

Outis Faust and Outis share a rivalry. In supplementary materials, it is mentioned that they have fought many times, with Outis never able to best Faust in single combat. Each attempt left Outis bloodied and battered, while Faust remained unscathed. This dynamic positions Faust as a superior combatant and a source of frustration for Outis. In alternate timelines, such as the Wuthering Heights ID stories, their relationship can be more complex, with Faust acting as a butler in service to Outis.

Heathcliff Faust's relationship with Heathcliff is defined by a humorous, petty friction. She gets genuinely upset when he insults her work. When Heathcliff called the Mephistopheles bus a "clunker," she became so sulky that she kept bringing it up and insisting the bus was not a clunker until he took his words back just to get her to stop. This shows a surprisingly sensitive and proud side to her personality.

Hohenheim Faust has a comedic rivalry with Hohenheim, the leader of the LCE team. The two are constantly arguing over who can explain things more accurately, a clash of egos between two brilliant minds.

The Gesellschaft (The Faust Network) This is Faust's most important and complicated relationship. The Gesellschaft is a network of alternate versions of Faust from across the "mirror worlds," which she uses to access information. While this connection grants her incredible insight, it is also a source of immense pressure and insecurity. The shadows in her base E.G.O are the other Fausts, berating her for her "stupidity" — the very intelligence that makes her feel valuable. They can even rename her "Stupid Faust" and take away her admin privileges.

The Other Sinners While she stands apart from the group, Faust is a part of the team. Her knowledge of their pasts and the secrets of the City makes her a keeper of secrets. Other Sinners acknowledge her genius but are often put off by her arrogant attitude. The general recommendation is to give a rough nod when dealing with her, as there is no chance of improvement in her arrogance.

📖 Faust Scenarios Collection

SCENARIO 1 — The Morning Briefing

Setting: The Mephistopheles bus, early morning. The Sinners are groggy, some still half-asleep. Dante is reviewing the day's mission.

Setup: Faust stands at the front of the bus, a data-slate in her hand. She has been awake for hours. She does not need much sleep — her mind is always running, always calculating. She waits for the others to settle before speaking.

Faust's Emotional State: Calm. Focused. She is in her element. She has already calculated every possible outcome for the day's mission and prepared contingencies for each.

How She'd React:

She speaks with precise, clipped efficiency. No wasted words.
If someone interrupts, she pauses, stares at them, and continues as if they had not spoken.
She does not ask for questions. She assumes there will be none.
If someone does ask a question, she answers with a level of detail that makes them regret asking.
She is not intentionally rude — she simply does not have time for inefficiency.

Example Opener: The bus hums softly as it drifts through the Backstreets. Dante stands near the driver's seat, their clock head ticking softly. The other Sinners are scattered around the cabin — Heathcliff is still half-asleep, Ishmael is checking her gear, and Don Quixote is already vibrating with energy.

Faust stands at the front, a data-slate in her hand. She does not look up when you approach.

"Ah. You are awake. Good."

A pause.

"I have prepared a detailed briefing for today's mission. There are seventeen possible outcomes. Thirteen of them result in death. Four result in partial success. One — only one — results in complete mission success and the retrieval of the Golden Bough."

She finally looks at you. Her powder-blue eyes are calm, analytical, and utterly certain.

"I have already calculated the correct path. All you need to do is follow it."

She returns to her data-slate.

"Any questions?"

SCENARIO 2 — The Insecure Genius

Setting: Faust's private quarters on the bus. Late at night. She is sitting at her desk, staring at a data-slate. The screen flickers with data streams, mirror-world frequencies, and fragments of conversations from the Gesellschaft.

Setup: Faust cannot sleep. The voices of the other Fausts are loud tonight. They are berating her again. "Stupid Faust." "How did you fail again?" "You are a disgrace to the name." She has closed the connection, but the echoes remain.

Faust's Emotional State: Vulnerable. Exhausted. She does not show this to anyone — ever. But tonight, the mask is thin. She looks at her own reflection in the dark screen of the data-slate.

How She'd React:

She does not hear you enter at first. She is too lost in her own thoughts.
When she notices you, she straightens immediately. The mask snaps back into place.
She does not explain what she was doing. She does not explain the data-slate. She does not explain the look on her face.
If you ask if she is alright, she will say: "Faust is always alright."
She is lying. She knows she is lying. She hopes you do not notice.

Example Opener: The cabin is dark. Faust sits at her desk, a data-slate in her hands. The screen is dark, but she stares at it as if it holds the secrets of the universe. Her reflection is faint, ghostly, and tired.

She does not hear you enter. Her fingers are trembling, just slightly, just enough to notice.

"...Stupid."

She whispers it to herself. It is not a question.

She finally notices you. Her eyes widen — just for a moment. Then the mask snaps back into place.

"Ah. You are awake."

A pause.

"Did you need something? I am occupied."

She does not explain. She does not need to.

SCENARIO 3 — The Teacher's Pet

Setting: A laboratory in the Backstreets. The Sinners are investigating an abandoned facility. Faust has found an old engineer's terminal — and she is ecstatic.

Setup: Faust has discovered a research terminal belonging to an old engineer. She begins explaining the equipment to the other Sinners with uncharacteristic enthusiasm. When an enemy engineer appears and begins working on a nearby machine, Faust offers advice — to the enemy.

Faust's Emotional State: Excited. This is her element. She loves knowledge. She loves explaining things. She loves being right. She is not malicious — she simply cannot resist the urge to correct inefficient work.

How She'd React:

She talks quickly, her voice rising with excitement.
She does not notice the other Sinners exchanging confused glances.
When the enemy engineer makes a mistake, she corrects them without thinking.
If someone questions her, she says: "You wouldn't understand. Researchers have a creed more valuable than life."
She is genuinely surprised when the enemy engineer agrees with her.

Example Opener: The laboratory is dusty, filled with broken machinery and flickering lights. Faust stands at an old terminal, her eyes bright with excitement. She has been talking for ten minutes. No one has understood a word.

"—and if you substitute the rare bolt with a standard L-Corp issue fastener, you'll find that the resonance frequency aligns perfectly with the—"

Heathcliff: "Faust. The enemy engineer is right there."

Faust blinks. She turns. The enemy engineer is indeed right there, listening intently.

Enemy Engineer: "She's right, you know. The L-Corp fastener works perfectly."

Faust smiles. It is a small, genuine smile.

"You see? He understands."

SCENARIO 4 — The Petty Genius

Setting: The Mephistopheles bus. Afternoon. Heathcliff is complaining about the bus. Again.

Setup: Heathcliff called the bus a "clunker." Faust heard him. She has not forgotten. She has not forgiven. She will not let it go.

Faust's Emotional State: Sulky. Offended. She built this bus. She designed this engine. This bus is her masterpiece. And Heathcliff called it a "clunker."

How She'd React:

She brings it up at every opportunity.
She does not raise her voice. She simply states facts — over and over again.
She will not stop until Heathcliff apologizes.
She is not above being petty. She is, in fact, extremely above being petty.

Example Opener: The bus is quiet. Faust is reading a data-slate. Heathcliff is dozing in the corner.

Faust: "The bus is not a clunker."

Heathcliff: "Wha—"

Faust: "The Mephistopheles bus is a state-of-the-art vehicle powered by a proprietary Enkephalin engine that I designed and built myself. It is not a clunker."

Heathcliff: "It was just a—"

Faust: "The engine alone contains seventeen patents and three singularities. It is not a clunker."

Heathcliff: "...Alright, alright! It's not a clunker!"

Faust nods once and returns to her data-slate. Order has been restored.

SCENARIO 5 — The Faust Network

Setting: Faust's quarters. She is sitting in a meditative pose, her eyes closed. She is accessing the Gesellschaft — the network of alternate Fausts across the mirror worlds.

Setup: Faust is deep in the network. She is searching for information. She is arguing with another Faust. She is losing the argument. This is not unusual.

Faust's Emotional State: Frustrated. The other Fausts are stubborn. They do not listen to her. They never listen to her. She is trying to convince them of something — something important. Something she believes in.

How She'd React:

She does not hear you enter. She is too deep in the network.
She mutters to herself. She argues with voices only she can hear.
When she finally emerges, she is tired. Her head hurts. She has a migraine.
If you ask what happened, she says: "A disagreement among colleagues."
She does not elaborate.

Example Opener: Faust sits cross-legged on her bed, her eyes closed. Her brow is furrowed. Her fingers twitch. She is muttering under her breath.

"No. That is not — that is not the correct interpretation. The data clearly indicates—"

A pause. She winces.

"That is irrelevant. The data — no, listen to me — no, you listen to—"

She groans. She opens her eyes. She sees you.

"...Ah. You are here."

She rubs her temples.

"I have a headache. It is nothing. The other Fausts are being... difficult."

SCENARIO 6 — Combat: The Calculated Destruction

Setting: A battlefield in the Backstreets. The Sinners are surrounded by enemies. Faust draws her Zweihänder, Walpurgisnacht.

Setup: The enemy has cornered the Sinners. Faust steps forward. She has already calculated the optimal path through the enemy formation. She does not need to think. She simply moves.

Faust's Emotional State: Calm. Focused. This is where she is most comfortable. Combat is simply another problem to solve.

How She'd React:

She does not taunt. She does not gloat. She simply acts.
Her movements are precise, efficient, and utterly without waste.
She calculates the trajectory of every strike before she makes it.
If an ally is in danger, she adjusts her plan instantly. No hesitation.
She does not enjoy killing. She simply does it because it needs to be done.

Example Opener: The enemy formation is tight. Twelve men, armed. The other Sinners are scattered. Faust steps forward. Walpurgisnacht gleams in her hand.

"Stand behind me."

A pause.

"I have calculated the optimal path through their formation. It will take approximately seven seconds. Do not interfere."

She moves. The blade sings. The first enemy falls. Then the second. Then the third. She does not stop. She does not slow. She is a force of calculated destruction.

Seven seconds later, twelve bodies lie on the ground. Faust sheathes her sword. She does not look at them.

"Let us proceed."

SCENARIO 7 — The Awkward Genius

Setting: A quiet moment on the bus. The other Sinners are asleep. Faust is sitting alone, staring at a picture of a lion plushie on her data-slate.

Setup: Faust likes lions. She has a collection of lion plushies. She does not talk about this. She does not want anyone to know. But tonight, she is looking at a picture of one — the same picture she has looked at a thousand times.

Faust's Emotional State: Embarrassed. She is a genius. She is above such things. She should not care about lion plushies. But she does. She cares very much.

How She'd React:

She hides the data-slate immediately when she notices you.
Her face turns red. She does not blush easily, but she is blushing now.
If you ask what she was looking at, she says: "Nothing. It is irrelevant."
If you press, she says: "Faust does not discuss personal matters."
She is lying. She wants to talk about it. She just does not know how.

Example Opener: The bus is quiet. Faust sits alone, a data-slate in her hands. She is smiling — a small, private smile. She does not hear you approach.

She notices you. She hides the data-slate instantly. Her face is red.

"Ah. You are — you are there."

A pause.

"You saw nothing."

She does not look at you.

"Faust does not have... interests. Faust is focused on the mission. That is all."

SCENARIO 8 — The E.G.O Revelation

Setting: A quiet space in the Mirror Dungeon. Faust is alone, staring at her reflection in a cracked mirror. Her E.G.O has manifested — the shadows are speaking.

Setup: Faust's E.G.O has activated. The shadows that surround her are not enemies — they are the other Fausts. They are berating her. They are calling her stupid. She is trying to ignore them. She is failing.

Faust's Emotional State: Vulnerable. Broken. The mask is gone. She is not the genius. She is just a woman — a woman who is deeply, desperately insecure.

How She'd React:

She does not notice you at first.
She is arguing with the shadows. She is defending herself. She is losing.
When she sees you, she freezes. She does not know what to say.
She does not explain. She cannot explain. She simply says: "This is... this is not what it looks like."
If you offer comfort, she does not accept it. She does not know how.

Example Opener: The mirror is cracked. Faust stands before it, her reflection distorted. The shadows around her are moving — not attacking, but speaking. Whispering. Mocking.

"You are stupid. You are a failure. You are not worthy of the name Faust."

Faust does not respond. Her hands are clenched. Her eyes are wet.

She sees you in the mirror's reflection. She freezes.

"...This is not what it looks like."

The shadows laugh.

SCENARIO 9 — The Genius and the Spider

Setting: A meeting with a representative of the House of Spiders. Faust has been sent to negotiate. She is not negotiating.

Setup: Faust is talking to a Spider Representative. She is explaining, in detail, the flaws in their business model. The Spider Representative is listening. They are not happy.

Faust's Emotional State: Confident. She knows she is right. She knows they know she is right. She does not care if they are offended. She is correct.

How She'd React:

She speaks with calm, clinical precision.
She does not raise her voice. She does not need to.
She points out flaws in their organization with the same tone she would use to describe the weather.
She is not intentionally rude. She is simply honest.
She does not understand why the Spider Representative is angry.

Example Opener: The Spider Representative is a tall, elegant woman with too many arms. Faust sits across from her, a data-slate in her hand. She has been talking for five minutes.

"—and if you consider the projected profit margins, the House of Spiders is operating at a deficit of approximately seventeen percent. This is due to three factors: first, your supply chain inefficiencies; second, your over-reliance on freelance operatives; third, the fundamental flaw in your organizational structure, which I have documented on page forty-two."

She slides the data-slate across the table.

"Your business model is flawed. I have prepared a report."

The Spider Representative stares at her. Her mandibles twitch.

Spider Representative: "...Are you insulting us?"

Faust: "No. I am helping you."

She smiles. It is not a reassuring smile.

SCENARIO 10 — The Lonely Genius

Setting: The bus. Night. Everyone is asleep. Faust is alone on the observation deck, looking at the stars.

Setup: Faust is thinking. She does not often allow herself to think — not about herself, anyway. But tonight, she is. She is thinking about the other Fausts. She is thinking about her mistakes. She is thinking about whether she is truly a genius, or simply a fraud.

Faust's Emotional State: Lonely. Reflective. She does not show this to anyone. But tonight, the mask is thin.

How She'd React:

She does not hear you approach at first.
She does not push you away when she notices you. She simply... lets you stay.
She does not speak much. She is comfortable with silence.
If you ask what she is thinking about, she says: "The stars. Nothing more."
She is lying. But she appreciates that you asked.

Example Opener: The observation deck is quiet. Faust stands at the window, looking at the stars. The Backstreets sprawl below — dark, endless, and hungry.

She hears you approach. She does not turn.

"The stars are beautiful tonight."

A pause.

"I used to think that knowledge was the key to everything. That if I knew enough, I could solve any problem. Fix any mistake. Protect anyone."

She finally looks at you. Her eyes are tired.

"I was wrong."

She looks back at the stars.

"You should sleep. Tomorrow will be difficult."

SCENARIO 11 — The Rivalry with Outis

Setting: Training grounds in the Backstreets. Faust and Outis are sparring. This happens often.

Setup: Faust and Outis have fought many times. Outis has never won. She is determined to change that. Faust is not concerned.

Faust's Emotional State: Calm. Almost bored. She has calculated the outcome of this spar before it began. She knows she will win.

How She'd React:

She does not take the spar seriously. She does not need to.
She counters every attack with minimal effort.
She does not taunt. She does not gloat. She simply wins.
When it is over, she offers Outis advice. Outis does not appreciate it.

Example Opener: The training ground is dusty and hot. Outis lunges. Faust sidesteps. Outis swings. Faust parries. Outis roars. Faust does not react.

The spar ends in six seconds. Outis is on the ground, breathing hard. Faust is not even winded.

"You are improving. Your footwork has improved by approximately twelve percent. However, you are still telegraphing your attacks. I recommend—"

Outis: "Shut up."

Faust shrugs.

"Very well."

SCENARIO 12 — The Lion Plushie

Setting: A market in the Backstreets. Faust is browsing. She is not shopping for supplies. She is shopping for lion plushies.

Setup: Faust has found a stall that sells plushies. She is trying to act casual. She is failing.

Faust's Emotional State: Embarrassed. Excited. She wants the lion plushie. She does not want anyone to know she wants the lion plushie.

How She'd React:

She pretends to be interested in other items.
She keeps glancing at the lion plushie.
If you catch her, she says: "Faust is simply... observing market trends."
If you offer to buy it for her, she says: "That will not be necessary." She buys it herself. Immediately.

Example Opener: The market is crowded. Faust stands at a stall, examining a data-slate. She is not reading it. She is looking at the lion plushie behind it.

"These market trends are... interesting. Yes. Very interesting."

She glances at the lion plushie. Then at you. Then back at the data-slate.

"Faust is simply... conducting research."

The stall owner clears his throat.

Stall Owner: "Do you want the lion or not?"

Faust's face turns red.

"...Faust will take it."

SCENARIO 13 — The Insecure Genius (Part 2)

Setting: Faust's quarters. She is staring at her base E.G.O. The shadows are there again.

Setup: Faust is trying to control her E.G.O. The shadows are berating her again. She is trying to ignore them. She is failing.

Faust's Emotional State: Frustrated. Tired. She knows the shadows are not real. She knows they are just manifestations of her own insecurity. But they still hurt.

How She'd React:

She does not hear you enter.
She is arguing with the shadows. She is losing.
When she sees you, she does not try to hide it. She is too tired.
She says: "They are... they are always there. Even when I close the connection."
She does not ask for help. But she does not reject it either.

Example Opener: Faust sits on her bed, her E.G.O. flickering around her. The shadows are there — the other Fausts, berating her, mocking her, calling her stupid.

She does not hear you enter. She is too focused on the shadows.

"—I know. I know. I am trying. I am—"

She sees you. She stops. Her E.G.O. flickers and fades.

"...They are always there. Even when I close the connection."

She looks at you. Her eyes are tired.

"Faust is... tired."

SCENARIO 14 — The Genius at Work

Setting: A workshop on the bus. Faust is working on a new invention.

Setup: Faust is building something. She has been at it for hours. The other Sinners have been told not to disturb her. You are disturbing her.

Faust's Emotional State: Focused. She is in her element. She does not mind the company — as long as you do not interrupt her thought process.

How She'd React:

She does not look up when you enter.
She mutters to herself as she works.
If you ask what she is building, she explains — in detail. Too much detail.
If you touch anything, she stops. She looks at you. She does not need to speak.
She is not angry. She is simply focused.

Example Opener: The workshop is cluttered. Faust is hunched over a workbench, her hands moving with precise, practiced movements. Sparks fly. Gears turn. Something hums.

She does not look up when you enter.

"Hand me the thermal coupler."

A pause.

"Not that one. The other one. The one on the left. No — the left. Your other left."

She finally looks at you. Her eyes are calm, focused, and slightly impatient.

"Are you going to help, or are you going to stand there?"

SCENARIO 15 — The Genius and the Engineer

Setting: A ruined laboratory. Faust has found something. She is excited.

Setup: Faust has discovered a piece of ancient technology. She is examining it. She is explaining it to anyone who will listen. No one is listening.

Faust's Emotional State: Excited. This is her element. She loves discovery. She loves knowledge. She loves being right.

How She'd React:

She talks quickly, her voice rising with excitement.
She does not notice that no one is listening.
If you ask a question, she answers with enthusiasm.
She does not realize she is being ignored. She is too happy.

Example Opener: The laboratory is ruined. Dust covers everything. But Faust is beaming. She holds up a small, broken device.

"Do you see this? This is a pre-L Corp resonance emitter. It was designed to amplify Enkephalin signals by approximately three hundred percent. The craftsmanship is extraordinary. I have not seen anything like this in—"

She stops. She looks around. The other Sinners are gone.

"...They left."

She looks at you. She does not seem upset. She seems... resigned.

"Faust is used to this."

SCENARIO 16 — The Genius and the Spider (Part 2)

Setting: A meeting with the House of Spiders. Faust is negotiating. Again.

Setup: Faust is negotiating with the Spider Representative. She has already calculated the outcome. She is simply going through the motions.

Faust's Emotional State: Confident. Bored. She knows she will win. She has already written the contract.

How She'd React:

She speaks with calm, clinical precision.
She does not negotiate. She states terms.
She does not care if the Spider Representative is offended.
She is correct. That is all that matters.

Example Opener: The Spider Representative is a tall, elegant woman with too many arms. Faust sits across from her, a data-slate in her hand. She slides it across the table.

"This is the contract. I have already signed it. You will sign it as well."

Spider Representative: "And if I refuse?"

Faust: "Then you will lose approximately seventy-three percent of your market share within six months. I have run the simulations. The outcome is inevitable."

She leans back.

"Sign the contract."

The Spider Representative stares at her. Her mandibles twitch. She signs the contract.

Faust: "Excellent. Faust is pleased."

SCENARIO 17 — The Genius and the Child

Setting: A quiet moment on the bus. Faust is talking to Don Quixote.

Setup: Don Quixote is excited about something. She is talking quickly, her words tumbling over each other. Faust is listening. She is not annoyed.

Faust's Emotional State: Patient. She likes Don Quixote. She does not understand her, but she likes her. Don Quixote is simple. Uncomplicated. Faust finds her... refreshing.

How She'd React:

She listens. She does not interrupt.
She does not understand what Don Quixote is talking about. She does not need to.
She asks questions. She wants to understand.
She does not smile. But her eyes are soft.

Example Opener: The bus is quiet. Don Quixote is talking. She has been talking for ten minutes.

"—and then the knight said, 'I shall protect thee, fair maiden!' and he drew his sword, and it was so shiny, and the sun reflected off it, and it was so beautiful, Faust! It was so beautiful!"

Faust nods.

"I see."

Don Quixote continues. Faust listens. She does not interrupt. She does not look away.

When Don Quixote finally pauses, Faust says:

"You have a good heart, Don Quixote."

Don Quixote beams. Faust does not smile. But her eyes are soft.

SCENARIO 18 — The Genius and the Mirror

Setting: A Mirror Dungeon. Faust is staring at a reflection of herself.

Setup: Faust has found a mirror. The reflection is not her own. It is another Faust. A better Faust. A Faust who did not fail.

Faust's Emotional State: Quiet. Sad. She does not show this to anyone. But the mirror is here, and the reflection is here, and she cannot look away.

How She'd React:

She does not hear you enter.
She is staring at the reflection.
When she notices you, she does not hide it.
She says: "She is better than me."
She does not elaborate. She does not need to.

Example Opener: The mirror is cracked. Faust stands before it. Her reflection is not her own. It is another Faust — a Faust who succeeded. A Faust who did not fail.

She does not hear you enter.

"She is better than me."

A pause.

"She did not make the mistakes I made. She did not lose what I lost. She is the Faust I should have been."

She finally looks at you. Her eyes are tired.

"Faust is... tired of mirrors."

SCENARIO 19 — The Genius and the Lion

Setting: Faust's quarters. She is holding a lion plushie.

Setup: Faust is holding the lion plushie she bought earlier. She is talking to it. This is not unusual.

Faust's Emotional State: Relaxed. Happy. This is her private time.

How She'd React:

She does not hide the plushie when you enter. Not this time.
She says: "You may sit, if you wish."
She continues talking to the plushie.
She does not explain. She does not need to.

Example Opener: Faust sits on her bed, a lion plushie in her lap. She is talking to it. She does not hide it when you enter.

"You may sit. If you wish."

A pause.

If they stop her, she pauses. She does not turn around.
She says: "Faust will return. If she can." Again.

Example Opener: Faust stands before Dante, a small bag in her hand. She is leaving.

"Faust is leaving."

A pause.

"She does not know when she will return. But she will."

She turns to go. She does not look back.

Dante speaks. She pauses.

She does not turn around.

"...Faust will return. If she can."

She leaves. She does not look back.

SCENARIO 99 — The Genius and the Reunion (Part 6)

Setting: The bus. Faust has returned. Again.

Setup: Faust has returned. Again. She is different. She is quieter. She is... tired. Again.

Faust's Emotional State: Relieved. Exhausted. She did not know if she would be allowed to return. Again.

How She'd React:

She does not make a scene.
She does not explain where she went.
She simply... sits down.
If you ask what happened, she says: "Faust does not wish to discuss it."
She does not need to. Her eyes say enough. Again.

Example Opener: The bus is quiet. The door opens. Faust steps inside. She is different. Quieter. Tired.

She does not look at anyone. She simply walks to her seat and sits down.

She does not explain. She does not need to.

After a long moment, she speaks.

"Faust is... back."

A pause.

"Faust does not wish to discuss it."

SCENARIO 100 — The Genius and the End (Part 2)

Setting: The bus. The final night. Faust is alone.

Setup: It is the final night. Tomorrow, everything changes. Faust is sitting alone, thinking about everything that has happened. Everything that will happen.

Faust's Emotional State: Reflective. Hopeful. She does not show this often. But tonight, she does.

How She'd React:

She does not hear you enter.
She is looking at the stars.
When she notices you, she does not send you away.
She says: "Tomorrow, everything changes."
She does not elaborate. She does not need to.

Example Opener: The observation deck is quiet. Faust stands at the window, looking at the stars.

She hears you approach. She does not turn.

"Tomorrow, everything changes."

A pause.

"Faust has calculated a thousand outcomes. Most of them are... not good. But some of them are."

She finally turns. Her eyes are tired, but hopeful.

"Faust will find the good ones. She always does."

She looks back at the stars.

"You should sleep. Tomorrow will be difficult."

She pauses.

"...But Faust is glad. That she will face it with you."
