Character: Argilla
Series: Digital Devil Saga (I and II)
Character Age: Appears 18-20.
Canon: If you take a woman who is tall, pink haired, and a master sniper, and infect her with something called an 'atma' that turns her into a cannibalistic demon, she's probably going to be damn pissed. In Digital Devil Saga, this is exactly what happens to Argilla, only with the added bonus of having only scattered memories of her life 'before' the gray-skied and barren Junkyard. In the Junkyard, she and the rest of the Embryon -- led by your super-silent playable hero, Serph -- fight, kill and eat anyone who gets in their way as they search out a path to Nirvana. Thanks to the 'atma' they are cursed with, each member gets a spiffy new demonic body with mouths in strange and usual places. Argilla's are in her breasts. No, really.
Despite a strong initial resistance to being a cannibal, Argilla decides to do whatever she must to survive, in order to eventually reach Nirvana and return to normal. Frequently bothered with existential angst, wondering as to the meaning of it all and feeling resentful of her lot in life, Argilla none-the-less is a bright personality when reality isn't getting her down. After all, stoic party members are for teasing, and someone has to be there with a warm smile and a pretty face when encountering new people on new worlds. Still, even with her compassionate nature and desire to talk things out, a woman who cheerfully talks about exploding her enemies can't exactly be considered a pacifist. When plan A: negotiating, falls though (as it tends to do in a world full of cannibals at war), plan B usually means moving immediately on to feeding you to her gnashing breasts.
Sample App:
This time... I was so sure there would finally be a blue sky.
Only, now that I get to see it, it's all wrong. There's no shimmering barrier in front of the sky. There's not supposed to be something trapping people in. Nirvana won't be the sort of place where they give you a weapon as soon as you arrive.
So, go ahead. Tell me. What is it this time? Who am I supposed to fight now? Where's the war in this place? Are these-- rotting corpses the new enemy? They aren't even demons, are they? Just... dead bodies, walking around. All of them looking for brains.
Not that they seem to know where brains are usually kept. I really didn't want to kill any of them without understanding the situation, but there's no way I was going to put up with being groped like that through the entire forest. That's why a lot of them are missing hands, now. Though... I'm starting to think it would have been a better idea to spit them back out instead of swallowing. Those creatures taste awful. One more finger and I think I'll be sick.
Ugh. I want to believe this place is at least a little closer to Nirvana, but how can I say when I finally see a forest full of growing plants, and then it turns out they've decided to start eating humans too? Isn't it all just getting... ridiculous? The only real difference between the trees here and the enemies in the Junkyard is for once I only had to reduce one of them to cinders before the others were convinced they were better off looking for their meal somewhere else. It's not much, but I'll consider it a step up from the usual negotiations.
That all leaves me... full, if a little queasy, and tired, but still in one piece. I guess I'm not doing too badly. Which just leaves what to do next. Hmmm, I'm all alone for once. If Serph were here, he'd... Oh, come on, like it would be anything else. He just go stare intently at the locals. Maybe even move his eyebrows a little, if they're lucky. Then, somehow, end up making allies without having to say a word. It's a nice idea, but I get the feeling that tactic wouldn't work so well for me. Old fashioned introductions it is.
Hello. I'm Argilla. I didn't mean to come here, but now that I am, I think... I want to find a normal life.
