Karasuma Fran
Appearance
 * Current: Fran is described as a girl in pajamas with antennae sticking out of her backpack, which is full of radios, and surgical scars on her neck, apparently together with an implant. She also holds a giant UFO balloon which she uses to float around.

Fran is described as a small girl in pajamas with surgical scars on her necks, apparently together with an implant. She has purple eyes and has black hair in a bob-cut with a frontal fringe. She wears a pink pajama hoodie with baggy sleeves,, purple lining, carrot-shaped toggles and a Bunny Grey logo on the back, as well as a headband with antennae positioned to resemble rabbit ears and a round rabbit tail antenna on her bottom. During the heatwave, she wears a white bikini with a Bunny Grey design on the left breast and purple sandals.

Fran carries a round, dark grey backpack which is full of radios and other electronic equipment, with various antennae sticking out of it. A name tag is attached to it with her given name written in hiragana.

She is frequently seen holding a giant UFO balloon which she uses to float around. (?) The balloon has 'ABDUCTION' written in light purple letters along the rim, and a Bunny Grey logo on the top side.

Personality Not much is known about Fran's personality, but it can be assumed that she possesses at least some of the traits common to the members of the Kamisato Faction.

She has a love for the British mascot, Bunny Grey.
 * Merchandise/Themed items: Bandage,(4-4)
 * No readable emotion at times.(1-2)(4-4)


 * Any camouflage would work if disguise magician nature, why sought new friend in stars of night sky, trapped between science and magic, tired of false smile towards one cared for and girls around, sick of small planet where can't escape influence, form of young desire to be taken far away.(Ep)

Background According to Kamisato Kakeru, Fran was supposedly made into a Gemstone via an implant from a, though he isn't sure how much of that is true, and the rest of the Kamisato Faction are split over whether she really was abducted or not. This is later revealed to be false, with Fran actually being a Magician and spy of the Anglican Church.

At some point, Fran came into contact with Kakeru and ended up joining the Kamisato Faction, in order to manipulate them for Laura Stuart.
 * Apparently spends all year staring at stars and chasing UFOs.(3-9)

Chronology Element Arc

48 Hours to Restore Order Arc


 * Chapter 1/2/3/4
 * Epilogue

Abilities Fran claimed to be a Gemstone, however she is actually a Magician. She has an extensive knowledge pertaining to astronomy and radio waves, and is part of the front line of the Kamisato Faction’s information warfare team, together with Ellen. She apparently knows more about astronomical bodies and electromagnetic waves than anyone else in the Kamisato Faction. Spending a lot of time staring at the stars and chasing, she is quite capable when it comes to detecting radio waves and light flashes, and intercepting signals.
 * Apparently spends all year staring at stars and chasing UFOs. Assume detect radio waves/slightest light flash.(3-9)
 * Electronic knowledge, Sphere/computer relaying, information warfare

As Toyama Luca speculated, Fran is the type of magician who observes and researches the stars and mysterious lights in the night sky, the latter of which have been viewed for millennia as unlucky stars and ill omens, and only within the past few decades been superseded by the idea of UFOs and vehicles flown by aliens. These magicians read the future from the stars, seal their light into talismans and amulets, and draw their power out when they see fit - part of the Golden-style of magic which had its heyday at the start of the 20th century and is standard in the present day.
 * Recruiting Luca, knowledge of Luca's magic/level of knowledge.

Fran has knowledge of ancient runes and magic circles, and made use of several such symbols, comprised of several concentric circles with horizontal and vertical lines along the edges of the circles, somewhat resembling, to leave a coded message for Index and Othinus. She is also capable of using a special focusing method to enter a unique mental state, similar to those used by stage actors to get into character, to support the casting of magic and did so together with Luca in order to help cast the latter's spell to access the 'new world'.

Fran is apparently unathletic and cannot climb onto something higher than her waist.

Equipment Fran carries a variety of electronic equipment in her overstuffed backpack, including various antennae and rods which stick out from the backpack like a sea urchin,(3-11,4-1 + Others) radios and communication devices,(ref) and a digital clock. As well as sending and intercepting signals and communications,(V15)(Others) the equipment can also be used for jamming purposes. Fran can control and monitor her equipment via a card-sized terminal connected to the backpack by a spiraling cord like that of a home phone.

Aside from her electronic equipment, Fran also has a Swiss-made multi-tool device, with the handle of a pair of pliers, containing screwdriver, gimlet and other tools, as well a silver blade as long as an index finger.

Unsorted:
 * Antenna sticking out from backpack like sea urchin/chestnut burr, like ugly thorns meant to protect contents from external enemy.
 * Tools operated in microwave conditions, output.
 * Rewrite Sphere's privileges with key and establish link with backpack equipment to continue sending data via Sphere.
 * Antenna rod, whack Mary.(4-1)
 * Jamming.(4-3)


 * (2-3) Card-sized screen, connected to backpack by spiraling cord like home phone's. Backpack full of electronics includes digital clock. Small monitor connected by phone-like curled wire. Backlight to see.(2-11)(3-6)

Balloon Fran frequently makes use of a handmade, low-altitude balloon, shaped like a UFO and themed after Bunny Grey. She can apparently adjust the balloon's buoyancy by letting lighter-than-air gas in and out, and freely move it in any direction via remote control using the card-sized terminal in her backpack. The lower surface of the balloon can light up (possibly having a theatre spotlight inside for false abductions) and glow like a paper lantern on a construction site at night or a fluorescent light hanging from the ceiling of Japanese-style lights. The balloon is capable of carrying Fran (and at least one other of Kamijou Touma's size) via a wire hanging from the base.
 * Sent ahead to Useful Spider's base in District 21, with Luca's bombs, won't have machine trouble and crash like cheap drone. (3-4)

Bunny Grey Messenger The Bunny Grey Messenger (ウサギグレイメッセンジャー) is Fran's high power microwave galactic communication space station. About 360 meters long, it was intended to speak to a certain unseen individual for 100 years and a piece of fanart dedicated to Bunny Grey. The station doesn't use nuclear power, but it does create similar levels of energy. The station's output is enough to flood Academy City in microwaves and create an abnormal heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 55 degrees in December. The microwaves can also be focused to incinerate targets on the surface, but the station was not designed to carry out such attacks so it is tricky to pull off and slight adjustments can't easily be made. Fran is capable of remotely operating the station using the high-powered communication equipment she carries in her backpack.
 * Can't make slight adjustments, like frying egg with nuclear reactor.

Gallery:

Trivia:
 * Drunken alien communication, similar to Touma & Mikoto Summer Interview.(2-8)
 * Rabbit alien reference.(3-4)
 * Afterword: Character grown from wondering what called UFOs before that word, how humanity handled them. Rabbit-ear antenna Haimura's idea. Thought really worked with cover story if design included moon rabbit element.
 * When people saw strange light in night sky, fear important event occurring, or try to use to gain knowledge poured down from distant planet (or moon and sun). Looking at that, using horoscope results to make protective charms, not all different from making special device to communicate with UFOs.(Aft)

Toyama Luca
Personality: Minor tweaks.
 * Told key to plan so tried extra hard, down after dropped. Flattering Luca a bad idea (Fran).

Background
 * Current: In the past, loving the sea compared to stifling cities, Luca displayed her love of the sea through art, though no one saw the true meaning behind her painting. Kamisato Kakeru was the only one who looked at her canvas and say the ocean looked like a blue doorway, seeing her soul inside the painting. As a result of this, she fell in love with him and ended up joining the Kamisato Faction.
 * No one saw the true meaning behind her painting (not like winning prize or famous judge taking liking). At some point, she damaged her eye, meaningful for an artist, though it is unclear whether it was coincidental or intentional.

Chronology, Element Arc
 * Current: During the Element infestation and the subsequent heat wave in the city caused by Fran to slow them down, Luca and the rest of the Kamisato Faction set up base in the White Springs Shopping Center. On the morning of December 9th, Luca participated in the faction's march to the Windowless Building and the subsequent battle with Yuiitsu beneath it.  After Kakeru was forced to use the World Rejecter with conflicting desires to protect the others and was exiled, Yuiitsu used the threat of losing the possibility of saving him to force the Kamisato Faction to obey her. Luca and the others then attempted to kill Touma on her orders.
 * Throwing out Maya's stuff

Chronology, 48 Hours to Restore Order Arc
 * December 9th:
 * Chapter 1:
 * Chapter 2:
 * December 10th:
 * Chapter 3:
 * Chapter 4:
 * December 11th: N/A, presume left Fran and rejoined rest of Kamisato Faction with Kamisato.

Abilities: <!-- -->
 * (4-5) Powder, nitrogen compound like nitric acid - distinct smell/traceable. Outdated musket, antique black powder. Intent on using old-fashioned production methods, distinct aroma.
 * Out of the combat member group from the Kamisato Faction who gathered at District 7's station plaza, Luca and Olivia were said to possess the most firepower, and Luca was Fran's choice out of the group for an expert on magic.
 * Imitative/infection magic knowledge.
 * Discussing problem of another world, ignore whether way to interfere, interfere with Point B from A, focus on imitation/Idol Worship. Distinction between infection (curse focus on part of person in doll, straw doll - traditional method, no real origin (Cracks)). Not all apply, lot of magic circles drawn on ground simplified version of sun or moon. Like constellation table, original shape lost but carving into ground still thought to draw in power of celestial body. Method will have to use imitative magic, something similar in both worlds, open tunnel between two points, send signpost into other world (A.A.A./World Rejecter sending - can't use infection for hand as World Rejecter too powerful to act as catalyst (like taking metal pin surrounding by powerful electromagnets and trying to use different magnet to make compass from it))(Pt7)
 * New World Retrieval Spell: After analyzing and gathering information from the Anti-Art Attachment and the curse which struck Misaka Mikoto, and combining it with her existing knowledge, Luca devised a spell in order to rescue Kamisato Kakeru from the 'new world', casting it together with Karasuma Fran. The spell incorporates a variety of concepts from Thelema, Voodoo and Kabbalah.
 * Core principles and elements.
 * AAA-base
 * Nephthys-base: After the initial attempt was thwarted and the A.A.A. core lost, a second attempt was made using the portion of Nephthys which became part of Patricia Birdway's body.
 * Likely involve infection magic in addition to imitative. Crowley rooted in Egypt. Link to secret of Isis, Osiris and Horus, as starting point.
 * Role as crying woman at Osiris's funeral. Connection - Crowley viewing Osiris less as a god than a symbol of death, dragging Kamisato up from bog of death, Nephthys related to funerals, resonance with hexagram.
 * Equipment:
 * Cheek against gun, peer through sight, thumb raise flint hammer.(3-6)
 * New: Retro collapsible telescope.(3-4)
 * Core principles and elements.
 * Luca cast the spell together with Karasuma Fran, both entering a special mental state using focusing methods similar to ones used by stage actors to get into character.(4-5)
 * Anti-Art Attachment-base
 * Elements of Thelema, Voodoo & Imitative Magic. Both Fran and Luca casting.
 * Hexagram drawn across Academy City while fleeing, gunpowder trail, ignited by musket spark. Modified hexagram drawn with single brushstroke, draws out power of sun (to? Olivia vaguely recognize some from books on ancient runes filling gaps not on released design sheets).
 * Both enter mental state using special focusing methods like ones used by stage actors to get into character.
 * Send vibration into hexagram carved into planet.
 * Peace of six points, four stages, combining triangle of fire and water. To achieve results, seek secrets of simplified six points drawn from straight liens. Desire to summon sun, cast aside Apollo, retrieve Horus. World's true image - in lost Library of Alexandria.
 * Horus - not mere descendent of dead gods, foundation of forces to cleanse world of stains of the cross, correspondence, shake star holding opposing peaks of Da’at and Yesod (Sephiroth).
 * Air solidifying, remaking into sacred ground.
 * Distortion. Like two differing equilateral triangles lining up/moving apart, create different shape/meaning at different seconds, limited resources combined for endless possibility.
 * Separate image of Four Worlds from which power drawn to different Four Worlds. Like moon's reflection in lake.
 * Sun of Horus to cleanse world, known by divine name, (Kamisato Kakeru).
 * Wedges driven in, lost name carved in.
 * Legba Atibon surpass time as gate to manage ceremonies. As Qlipoth becomes compass pointing to truth of world when used with discernment, curse of second Aeon used as prism to divide forces. Distort line to planet descending towards star, substitute symbols.
 * No obvious light/sound.
 * Bind/strengthen planetary symbol with star of power carved into earth. Name symbol as A.A.A. Container starts to glow.
 * Endless reflection of opposing mirrors, overlap like rings of tree, give power to gaze into abyss. As identical symbols approach, resonate like slightest breeze sometimes breaking stone bridge into sea.
 * Speculation of view from above: Like trapped in harmful hallucination after end of endless task, like peering to back of image in opposing mirrors, opening Russian nesting doll to level of electron microscope, peering into depths beyond deepest
 * Crowley (Edward Alexander), demon never before seen and not mentioned in holy text, summoned through combination of existing methods, learn method/break through common world view with something found anywhere.
 * Destroy impossibility facing world. Summon divine name with physical form, fix to Olam Asiyah, surface of Four Worlds.
 * Interrupted by attack on A.A.A. core (mirror corresponding to magic circle, symbol to create endless array of images to create normally impossible resonance).
 * Nephthys-base
 * A.A.A./Nephthys - different connections

Goryou Maya

 * Goryo not necessarily family name but also possibly an epithet/reference. - type of vengeful spirit.

Etymology:
 * A lit. "honorable spirit" (御霊) is a type of vengeful spirit in Japanese folklore, believed to be from the aristocratic class (often a martyred member of the aristocratic class).

Appearance
 * Current: Maya is described as a ghost girl in white floating in an artificial mist machine.
 * Swim through sky, tall/ translucent girl, pure white kimono, fetal position, chest exposed, forehead - triangular celestial crown with slight notch , very long black hair curled around her like crescent moon, curse snare and bring down if try to go up.(1-2)
 * Internet-obsessed, tall gloomy girl, bots and trolling boards. Academy's Sphere. White burial clothes, like image projected in fog, occasionally fade in/out. Notch makes trial look like heart .(2-2) Hunched forward.

Maya is a tall girl with very long black hair and blue eyes with bags under them. She wears white burial kimono with exposed cleavage and a triangular headdress with a slight notch which makes it look somewhat like a heart. She is slightly hunched forward.

Maya is accompanied by Censers, crane fly-like drones which resemble blue will-o'-the-wisps/hitodama. Floating in the artificial haunted location and mist machine formed by the Censers, she appears like an image projected in fog, occasionally fading in and out.

Personality
 * Current: Not much is known about Maya's personality, but it can be assumed that she possesses at least some of the traits common to the members of the Kamisato Faction.
 * Resentment over not being able to eat as she likes (due to scent maintenance (2-2, 5-1)).
 * Internet obsessed.(2-2)
 * Manipulate "incense" from chest/nape to alter look/interpretation, vengeful spirit to accomplish what she wanted to do for his sake. (4-5)

Background At some point in the past, likely after dying and becoming a ghost, Maya came into contact with Kamisato Kakeru and ended up joining the Kamisato Faction.
 * Memory of death can't remember, not touched. Name couldn't be remembered.
 * Mysterious shadow appear on way back from school at night. All knew what was. In front of girl, asked if wanted boy back, wonder if wanted to rest in peace, speculated been on volleyball team due to height, suggested check through records etc, Kamisato only one to accept her, say she was fine the way she was, ghost fine as ghost.
 * The details of Maya's life before her death are largely unknown. After her death, she couldn't remember her name or how she died.
 * She hasn't recovered the memory of her death, having a feeling that she shouldn't touch it.

Element Arc


 * Current: During the Element infestation and the subsequent heat wave in the city caused by Fran to slow them down, Maya and the rest of the Kamisato Faction set up base in the White Springs Shopping Center. On the morning of December 9th, Maya participated in the faction's march to the Windowless Building and the subsequent battle with Yuiitsu beneath it.

48 Hours to Restore Order Arc
 * December 9th:
 * December 10th:
 * December 11th: Rebuilt Censers using AC parts.

Abilities : Primary specialities (aerial surveillance, long-distance bombardments, information warfare, vengeful spirit), Ghost Abilities/Censers, Information Warfare.
 * (4-10) Can transform back and forth from hitodama to humanoid.(giant)
 * Current: Maya possesses a degree of combat capability, specializing in long-distance bombardments.
 * Swim through sky, tall/translucent girl, pure white kimono, fetal position, chest exposed, forehead - triangular celestial crown with slight notch, very long black hair curled around her like crescent moon, curse snare and bring down if try to go up.(1-2)
 * Internet-obsessed, tall gloomy girl, bots and trolling boards. Academy's Sphere. White burial clothes, like image projected in fog, occasionally fade in/out. Notch makes trial look like heart.(2-2)
 * Theories whispered about scientific explanation of ghost. Plasma, cognitive disorders, magnetic abnormalities. One is extremely low frequency waves outside audible range. Exposed for long periods of time to stimulus not processed with five sense, unable to relax, see or hear imaginary sights or sounds. Ghosts often seen in abandoned houses/cave, tend to have drafts/creaking floors.
 * Generally appears below Censers, drones shaped like crane flies, emitting imperceptible low frequency waves/aromas. Flying around Maya, emitting pale phosphorescence like will-o'-the-wisps. Microwave attack danger, lost if shielding too weak.
 * Doesn't know what ghost, or soul really was. Pictured as something like smell. Rub smell of life onto something else before fading with time, can live on. If can't produce original smell, then continue protecting current one. Once gone, the end. Feel not too different from core in Element chest.
 * Triangular headdress, slight cut, look little like a heart.
 * Stealth marketing online.
 * Food offerings
 * Imperceptible sound/smell gives skin seemingly tangible texture.
 * Fear ghost/curses, door locked, sprinkle salt, paste charms more than necessary. Defense to ensure peace of mind, when one covers all walls entirely in charms - seen as protection from oddity or oddity itself?

Sawai Olivia
Appearance:
 * Olivia has light blue eyes and short brown hair worn in twintails. She is dressed as the original Magical Powered Kanamin.

Personality:
 * Current: Not much is known about Olivia's personality, but it can be assumed that she possesses at least some of the traits common to the members of the Kamisato Faction.

She is described as overly-enthusiastic and dedicated to realism. With regards to Kanamin, she believes that the original series is the best. Being the subculture type, Olivia gets along well with the internet-obsessed Maya.

Chronology, 48 Hours to Restore Order Arc: After losing Touma and Fran in the initial pursuit, Olivia was with Maya as she was conducting information warfare at the Academy shelter. She was also part of the group who gathered at School District 7's station plaza, hoping to catch Touma and Fran when they intended to rendezvous with Index and Othinus.

On December 10th, Olivia participated in the Kamisato Faction's attack on Useful Spider's base in School District 21 and the subsequent pursuit of Touma's group afterwards. During the chase, she recognized the escape pattern as drawing out a hexagram and alerted Maya, which led to Luca's initial attempt at accessing the 'new world' being thwarted. When Maya's scent was disrupted and she collapsed, Olivia collided with her severed leg and went into a tailspin, hurting her shoulder in the process.

After the incident, other members of the Kamisato Faction speculated that she might actually be happy about it, given how she had said she was about ready to move on from Kanamin and how sickly girls were currently the big thing. They also speculated that given how dedicated she was to realism, if her character's arm was in a sling, she'd probably smash her bones with a hammer.

Abilities:
 * Current: Olivia is described as an excellent cosplayer and is capable of perfectly recreating every one of her character's gimmicks through science or magic, be it a jet booster, magic wand, laser blade or special boots for running along a wall.

For her cosplay of the original Kanamin, she makes use of a magic wand with a jet engine built into it to fly around. She also uses tracer rounds, resembling red or blue fireworks and perhaps intended to look like magic bullets. She also replicates the original Kanamin's high pitched voice, which the original voice actress is rumored no longer able to reproduce.

Olivia has a certain degree of magical knowledge and apparently makes some use of magic in recreating her character's gimmicks, though she is not described as a Magician.

Mary (<rb>芽李</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>メリー</rt><rp>)</rp>) is a member of the Kamisato Faction and a 'wolf girl', who was raised by wolves.

Appearance Mary has long blonde hair styled in ringlet curls and wears a red dress.

Personality Mary's personality is largely unknown, though she presumably shares some of the traits common to the Kamisato Faction. She displays animalistic traits such as an attraction to meat, a tendency to wander about on all fours, bare teeth like a canine, growl, howl and to go for the throat like a beast. She can apparently be quite stubborn and has been described as supposedly inheriting the noble spirit of the Japanese wolf.

Background Mary's background is largely unknown, other than the fact that she was raised by wolves, and at some point was saved by Kamisato Kakeru and joined the Kamisato Faction.

Chronology, Salome Arc

On December 5th, Mary was present when Kamisato betrayed Kamijou Touma and set the Kamisato Faction on him, intending to kill him to make Salome stop. They were thwarted when Salome herself interrupted them, bringing a provoked Accelerator with her.

Chronology, 48 Hours to Restore Order Arc On December 9th as the Kamisato Faction were gathering in District 7's station plaza to catch Touma and Fran, Mary stuck her head into an abandoned kebab stand, not minding that the meat would have likely gone bad by then, and had to be pulled out by several other girls. Touma and Fran managed to avoid Mary catching their scent, using the white sand left behind by the Elements to cover their tracks.

On December 10th, Mary took part in the Kamisato Faction's attack on Useful Spider's base in School District 21, and was the first to attack Touma's group as they fled down the mountain. She leapt at them to tear out Touma's throat but was knocked off by Fran. She gave chase with the rest of the Kamisato Faction, easily keeping up with the cart while moving on all fours. When Touma caused Deborah to lose control of her bus, Mary tried to slip past on the side, but was caught out by the bus hopping irregularly after running into one of the white sand piles, hitting her like a roundhouse kick and sending her through the window of a nearby building.

Afterwards, the Kamisato Faction had trouble getting her back, but managed to find and catch her after she reacted to a Useful Spider siren by howling on a rooftop.
 * Surprise getting her back. Can be stubborn, catching not easy. Supposedly inherited noble spirit of Japanese wolf, need a collar reckoning. Wouldn't have found her if not reacted to Useful Spider's siren by howling on rooftop.

Abilities Though being raised by wolves shouldn't have increased her senses, muscles or digestive system, Mary apparently ignores logic where that is concerned, possessing a bite which can break through bone and a sense of smell exceeding those of a dog's, which is 6000 more sensitive than that of a typical human. Moving on all fours, she can easily keep up with a four-wheel cart powered by a 50cc engine.

Ghosts (幽霊) are spiritual entities believed to be the souls of the deceased who haven't passed on to the afterlife and remain in the world.

Etymology
The term ghost itself is derived from the Old English gást, believed to come from the Proto-Germanic gaistaz. The term's current common usage as referring to a spirit of the deceased emerged during the 14th century. Aside from ghost, other terms used in English include spirit, phantom, specter/spectre, spook, wraith, haunt and apparition. A more specific term used for certain ghosts is poltergeist (German for "noisy ghost"), which is a spirit which manifests itself by invisibly moving or influencing objects.

The term yūrei (幽霊), used in Japanese, is comprised of yū (幽) and rei (霊), the latter element itself sometimes used as a term for ghosts. Other terms used in Japanese include names include bōrei (亡霊) and shiryō (死霊), as well as the more encompassing obake (お化け) which is primarily used to refer to other supernatural creatures. More specific terms used in Japanese include lit. "vengeful spirit" (怨霊), which return to avenge a wrong done to them in life, lit. "honorable spirit" (御霊), another type of vengeful spirit typically believed to be from the aristocratic class, and jibakurei (地縛霊), which are bound to a specific location.

 * There are a large variety of ghost stories in the many mythologies, legends and folklore around the world.
 * There are similarly various reasons within these ghost stories as to why a ghost remains in the world and doesn't pass on to the afterlife. In some cases, there is some lingering regret or grudge which ties the ghost to the world, the nature of their death prevents them from passing over, and for some, such as, they made transgressions in life which have left them unable to enter the realms of the afterlife and forced them to wander the Earth.
 * Various cultures have common appearances associated with ghosts. In Japanese culture for example, ghosts are depicted as wearing pure white burial clothes with a triangular headdress and accompanied by.
 * Common traits associated with ghosts include a pale complexion (& dark?), non-corporeality, varying degrees of transparency, and for some, the ability to manipulate objects. Some are capable of possession. In various stories, they are often accompanied by cold temperatures, pale floating lights or embers (referred to as, or ghost lights), and mist.
 * Certain locations are said to be haunted by ghosts, including certain graveyards and . These locations might be inhabited by spirits for a number of reasons; the ghosts may have been former residents or familiar with the location in life, it might be the resting place of their remains, or it might be the site of their death (in a fair number of ghost stories, these deaths are violent or tragic).
 * There are various stories of ghosts who haunt or curse people who enter their domain or commit a transgression against them. Ghosts are sometimes given prayers and food offerings, or have ceremonies conducted in their name, to honor or placate them.

NT17 Arc Article
The 48 Hours to Restore Order Arc is a story arc in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index and the final part of the Kamisato Arc.

In the aftermath of the Elements and the abnormal heat wave, Academy City has entered into a restoration period. Following a battle under the Windowless Building, Kamisato Kakeru was exiled by the World Rejecter and Kihara Yuiitsu used the possibility of losing the only way to save him to bind the Kamisato Faction, sending them to kill Kamijou Touma. With only Karasuma Fran not turning on him, Touma seeks a way to rescue Kamisato and break Yuiitsu's hold on the girls.

Kamisato Faction
Due to the mortal injuries inflicted to Kihara Noukan on December 4th, Kihara Yuiitsu sought revenge on Kamisato Kakeru.
 * Initial circumstances between Kamisato Faction and Kihara Yuiitsu, injuries to Kihara Noukan, theft of World Rejecter, leading into Elements/heat wave (NT14/15 (short), 16).

Situation
 * Infrastructure damage from heat wave and Elements.

During an expedition to destroy the Crystal Tower, believed to be the control point for the Elements but actually a lure to identify threats, Tokiwadai Middle School and School Garden suffered severe damage from an Element assault led by Yuiitsu, with particular focus on the hangar housing Misaka Mikoto's Anti-Art Attachment. In the aftermath, people came in from outside School Garden and took advantage of the defenders' injuries and exhaustion to loot the school. The student body was subsequently moved to Heaven Canceller's Hospital, designated shelter Hospital.

Following the final confrontation beneath the Windowless Building, Yuiitsu had the Elements self-destruct, leaving piles of white sand-like particles across the city. With the end of the heat wave and the Elements on the morning of December 9th, Useful Spider mobilized from their base under an observatory in School District 21 in order to rebuild the city - beginning 48 Hours to Restore Order.

Shelters During the heat wave and Element infestation, many shelters were set up by residents and refugees across Academy City.

New World
After being exiled to the spare regions of the timeline by the World Rejecter, the Magic Gods of the true Gremlin, though not pleased at being done in by a human, found that the new world was not a bad home for them. In particular, the fact that actions in the new world have no effect on the regular world and all damage to it is undone when it is updated at midnight to match with the regular world, allowed the Magic Gods to act freely, which they hadn't been able to do before due to concern about the damage they could cause to the world and its inhabitants.

Aftermath After receiving news of Kamisato's return, the Kamisato Faction turned on Yuiitsu, who despite being faced with Salome and other armed girls, merely treated it as the end of a game. Yuiitsu's fate isn't fully known, but the girls succeeded in severing the stolen right hand and retrieving World Rejecter.

On reuniting with Kamisato, many of the girls reacted violently, leading him to briefly wonder if the Magic Gods had created a happy-looking hell which only appeared to be a safe return. Overwhelmed with emotion, Machina smacked him with a frying pan and Elza hit him with her bottle of 10 yen coins. Claire wrapped his body with vines, Salome wordlessly chewed through a utility knife blade to gather power, and Deborah turned the corner of an intersection driving a semi-trailer truck pulling a 20-ton container.

Rosenthal Family

 * Point for discussing: Did the Rosenthals gain their name before their ancestor was banished from the Rabbinic region (given heads) or after the 5th generation (given the etymology and origin of the name, and that the heads up to the 5th have only been referred to by their given name).
 * Obed, Isaac and Nathan only referred to by given names.
 * Obed referred to as ancestor.
 * Isaac and Nathan referred to as heads.
 * Etymology notes: (Categories: German-language surnames, Jewish surnames),, , , , , , , ,


 * Points for discussion: (own + 2 views, 3rd other)(apology for delay)
 * Aspect to discuss - Estelle's ancestors, given how referred - good idea to hold off until certain possibility analyzed and addressed.
 * Chapter 29, three during explanation of Rosenthal Family's 400 year history:
 * Obed (Family Ancestor)(slightly less but still very likely)
 * Isaac (4th head)(very likely but slightly more so)
 * Nathan (5th head)(very likely but slightly more so)
 * Only referred to by given names
 * Etymology: Rosenthal, German/Jewish origin, "valley of roses"
 * Reasonable assumption that last name Rosenthal. Best to look over possibilities and reasoning before proceeding on it with articles. No oversights.
 * Use reasoning and explain anyway via note in Trivia sections.
 * Isaac and Nathan are described as 4th and 5th head respectively. Someone described as the head of the family will almost certainly bear the family's name as their last name. If they were a head ancestor from a different family line with their name, wouldn't be counted as the head of the latter family. Possibility of both names hyphenated as surname. Patriarchal attitude (possibly throw out the window), name origin and location increase likelihood.
 * Obed, slightly less likely, however still very likely. An ancestor of a family does not necessarily bear the family's name. Name origin (G/J - Rabbis) and location post exile (East), increases likelihood of bearing name. Patriarchal attitude (possibly throw out the window). Likely from a community, possibly moved from sub to main for life/work? Ancestor but not described as a head (chance slightly reduced). Possibly the first.

The Rosenthal Family are a family of necromancers, who sought to create the perfect golem for over 400 years.

Principles
The Rosenthal Family is a line of necromancers who have spent over 400 years developing techniques of creating golems from corpses in order to create the perfect golem.

As opposed to rock dolls only capable of carrying out simple commands, the Rosenthal make use of a method devised by their ancestor Obed, which involves placing an artificial soul into a corpse, allowing them to use a human brain and greatly increasing their intelligence. These techniques were further developed through subsequent generations with the 4th generation head Isaac incorporating the Hopping Zombie Spell into what would become the Rosenthal style, and the 5th generation head Nathan, who created four artificial souls with greatly increased abilities; Taowu, Taotie, Hundun and Qiongqi, capable of producing superhuman strength when their charm was attached to a corpse.


 * Could create true golems, not just rock dolls like that which attacked city before

The greatest desire of the Rosenthal Family is the creation of the perfect golem, one with a perfect soul and a perfect body - a god.

Emperor Shun's Blade & the Evil Spirits of the Numbers

 * , banished the Four Fiends (Hundun, Qiong Qi, Taotie and Taowu, the Evil Spirits of the Numbers).

<!--Shun (Chinese: 舜; pinyin: Shùn), also known as Emperor Shun (Chinese: 帝舜; pinyin: Dìshùn) and Chonghua (Chinese: 重華; pinyin: Chónghuá), was a legendary leader of ancient China, regarded by some sources as one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Oral tradition holds that he lived sometime between 2294 and 2184 BCE.

Names Shun's ancestral name (姓) is Yao (姚), his clan name (氏) is Youyu (有虞). His given name was Chonghua (重華). Shun is sometimes referred to as the Great Shun (大舜) or as Yu Shun (虞舜). The "Yu" in "Yu Shun" was the name of the fiefdom, which Shun received from Yao; thus, providing him the title of "Shun of Yu"[2]).

Life of Shun According to traditional sources, Shun received the mantle of leadership from Emperor Yao at the age of 53, and then died at the age of 100 years. Before his death Shun is recorded as relinquishing his seat of power to Yu(禹): an event which is supposed to have eventuated in the establishment of the Xia Dynasty. Shun's capital was located in Puban (蒲阪), presently located in Shanxi).

Under Emperor Yao, Shun was appointed successively Minister of Instruction, General Regulator and chief of the Four Peaks, and put all affairs in proper order within three years.[3] Yao was so impressed that he appointed Shun as his successor to the throne. Shun wished to decline in favour of someone more virtuous, but eventually assumed Yao's duties.[3] It was said that "those who had to try a lawsuit did not go to Danzhu, but to Shun." Danzhu was the son of Yao.[4]

After ascending to the throne, Shun offered sacrifices to the god Shang Di (上帝), as well as to the hills, rivers, and the host of spirits (神).[5] Then he toured the eastern, the southern, the western, and the northern parts of the country; in each place he offered burnt-offering to Heaven at each of the four peaks (Mount Tai, Mount Huang, Mount Hua and Mount Heng), sacrificed to the hills and rivers, set in accord the seasons, months, and days, established uniform measurements of length and capacities, and reinforced ceremonial laws.[6]

Shun divided the land into twelve provinces, raising altars upon twelve hills, and deepening the rivers.[7] Shun dealt with four criminals: banishing the Minister of Works to You island, confining Huan-dou on Mount Chong; driving San-Miao into San-Wei, and holding Gun a prisoner till his death on Mount Yu (羽).[8] Yu (禹) was subsequently appointed Minister of Works to govern the water and the land.[9] Later, Shun appointed Yu to be General Regulator (Prime Minister).[9] Yu wished to decline in favour of the Minister of Agriculture, or Xie, or Gao Yao, but finally accepted upon Shun's insistence.[9] Shun then appointed Chui as the new Minister of Works.[10] Shun also appointed Yi as Minister of Animal Husbandry to govern the beasts and trees of the land,[11] Bo-yi as Priest of the Ancestral Temple to perform religious ceremonies,[12] Hui as Director of Music,[13] Long as Minister of Communications to counter deceptions and false reports.[14]

According to the Canon of Shun, Shun began to reign at the age of 30, reigned with Yao for 30 years, and reigned 50 more years after Yao's abdication, then Shun died.[15] The Bamboo Annals state that Yao chose Shun as his heir three years before abdicating the throne to him. Both sources agree that after abdicating, Yao lived for another 28 years in retirement during Shun's reign.

In later centuries, Yao and Shun were glorified for their virtue by Confucian philosophers. Shun was particularly renowned for his modesty and filial piety (xiao 孝).

The name of Shun's mother was Wodeng (握登), and his birthplace was Yaoxu (姚墟).

Legends Legend has it that Shun's birth mother died when Shun was very young. His father was blind and remarried soon after Shun's mother's death. Shun's stepmother then gave birth to Shun's half brother Xiang (象) and a half sister. Shun's stepmother and half brother treated Shun terribly, often forcing Shun to do all the hard work in the family and only giving him the worst food and clothing. Shun's father, being blind and elderly, was often ignorant of Shun's good deeds and always blamed Shun for everything. Yet, despite these conditions, Shun never complained and always treated his father, his stepmother, and his half brother with kindness and respect.

When he was barely an adult, his stepmother threw him out of the house. Shun was forced to live on his own. Yet, because of his compassionate nature and his natural leadership skills, everywhere he went, people followed him, and he was able to organize the people to be kind to each other and do the best they could. When Shun first went to a village that produced pottery, after less than one year, the pottery became more beautiful than they had ever been. When Shun went to a fishing village, the people there were at first fighting amongst themselves over the fishing grounds, and many people were injured or killed in the fights. Shun taught them how to share and allocate the fishing resources, and soon the village was prospering and all hostilities ceased.

When Emperor Yao became old, he became distressed over the fact that his 9 sons were all useless, only knew how to spend their days enjoying themselves with wine and song. Yao asked his administers, the Four Mountains, to propose a suitable successor. Yao then heard of Shun's tales. Wise Yao did not want to simply believe in the tales about Shun, so he decided to test Shun. Yao gave a district to Shun to govern and married his two daughters to him, with a small dowry of a new house and some money.

Though given an office and money, Shun still lived humbly. He continued to work in the fields every day. Shun even managed to convince his two brides, the two princesses, Yao's daughters, named Ehuang (Fairy Radiance) and Nüying (Maiden Bloom),[16] who were used to good living, to live humbly and work along the people. However, Shun's stepmother and half brother became extremely jealous and conspired to kill Shun. Once, Shun's half brother Xiang lit a barn on fire, and convinced Shun to climb onto the roof to put the fire out, but then Xiang took away the ladder, trapping Shun on the burning roof. Shun skilfully made a parachute out of his hat and cloth and jumped down in safety. Another time, Xiang and his mother conspired to get Shun drunk and then throw him into a dried-up well and then bury him with rocks and dirt. Shun's half sister, never approving of her mother and brother's schemes, told Shun's wives about the scheme. Shun thus prepared himself. Shun pretended to get drunk, and when he was thrown into the well, he had already a tunnel pre-dug to escape to the surface. Thus, Shun survived many attempts on his life. Yet, he never blamed his stepmother or his half brother, and forgave them every time.

Eventually, Shun's stepmother and half brother repented their past wrongs. Shun wholeheartedly forgave them both, and even helped Xiang get an office. Shun also managed to influence Emperor Yao's 9 worthless sons into becoming useful contributing members of society.

Emperor Yao was very impressed by all of Shun's achievements, and thus chose Shun as his successor and put him on the throne in the year of Jiwei (己未). Yao's capital was in Ji (冀) which in modern times is also in Shanxi province.

Shun is also renowned as the originator of the music called Dashao (大韶), a symphony of nine Chinese musical instruments.

In the last year of Shun's reign, Shun decided to tour the country. But unfortunately, he died suddenly of an illness on the journey near the Xiang River. Both his wives rushed from home to his body, and wept by the river for days. Their tears turned into blood and stained the reeds by the river. From that day on, the bamboo of that region became red-spotted, which explains the origin of spotted bamboo. Then overcome by grief, both women threw themselves into the river and drowned.

Shun considered his son, Shangjun (商均), as unworthy and picked Yu, the tamer of floods, as his heir.

Shun was asserted as the progenitor of the Hồ dynasty by Hồ Quý Ly.[17][18][19] China's province of Zhejiang around the 940s was the origin of the Chinese Hồ/Hú family.-->

Taowu incident at Seiin High School
The Taowu incident at Seiin High School was an attempt by the Taowu to achieve the Rosenthal family's desire to create the 'perfect golem', using the memories of death stored within the Misaka Network to transform itself. The event occurred at Seiin High School, which the Taowu's host Hirumi used to attend when she was still alive.

Principles
Taowu: Among the artificial souls used by the Rosenthal are four with greatly increased abilities which were created by the 5th generation head Nathan; Taowu (檮杌), Taotie (饕餮), Hundun (混沌) and Qiong Qi (窮奇). These four, sometimes referred to as Evil Spirits of Numbers (ナンバーズの悪霊), are capable of producing superhuman strength when their charm is attached to a corpse.

The artificial soul, also referred to as a false soul (偽りの魄), is contained within a paper charm, which has several inscriptions on them, including a sephiroth which is a key part of the artificial soul.
 * Installation
 * Capabilities
 * Keter/LV6

Memories of Death: After the Taowu was activated by Estelle Rosenthal in an attempt to revive her friend Hirumi, it was contacted by a self-proclaimed demon who conveyed a method with which it could achieve the Rosenthal family's desire. This method is derived from how the human soul is said to slowly evolve and reach through the process of experiencing 10000 deaths. By converting the memories of death (死の記憶) into a special formula and adding it to the sephiroth constructing the artificial soul, engraving the proof of death into the soul 10000 times, their soul would also reach Keter. The memories of death are normally erased from the physical world at death, however the memories of 10031 deaths are present in Academy City, stored within the Misaka Network.

Posing as Hirumi, the Taowu presented this plan to Hishigata in the guise of making Hirumi into a Level 6,  leading on from his research into discovering where esper abilities originated from within the body and reinforcing the body to enhance esper abilities, in order to create the perfect esper.

Transformation: After the memories of death were converted into a formula and integrated into the Taowu, it went about constructing the 'perfect body' in order to contain the 'perfect soul'. During the initial stage of the transformations, wire-like appendages expanded across the school grounds, with a large mass in close proximity to the Taowu's host body, Hirumi. These wires could form copies of Hirumi.

During the next stage of the transformation, a massive image of the Tree of Life formed over Seiin High School. The Keter Sephirot opened up and connected to Hirumi's body, who was floating in front of it in a fetal position (orb?), via a cord. A cocoon-like structure then formed around Hirumi's body, connected to a large, bulbous mass on the ground with multiple tendrils and protrusions. Not long afterwards, the cocoon cracked open and a mass began expanding from it, forming a giant, long, grotesque body with many protrusions wriggling from it. Several sets of wings also formed, some more ragged than others. Hirumi's original body protruded from a hole in the upper part of the body, partially engulfed by it, and a halo formed over Hirumi's head.


 * Even if rest of body blown away, would regenerate if charm not dealt with.
 * Plan to deal with artificial soul using Emperor Shun's Blade, needs to touch the charm.

Level 6

 * Discussion required regarding Level 6 and the attempts to reach it.
 * Level 6 Shift: Term used both to refer to the event when an esper reaches Level 6 and the Level 6 Shift Project. Redirect or disambiguation if merge away from it.
 * Hishigata's attempt, Isaac passing off magic-based process as an esper-based process/Level 6 Shift, not necessarily a true one, attempt by Taowu/Isaac to reach Keter, Keter shift attempt instead?

SYSTEM
Current text:

SYSTEM (システム) is the main goal of Academy City's research, defined as "Those who are not deities that reach the sense of the heavens" (神ならぬ身にて天上の意思に辿り着くもの), it is the core of Aleister Crowley's plan, as well as many research organizations in the city.

Level 6 (<rb>絶対能力者</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>レベル6</rt><rp>) </rp>) is used as an interchangeable term for it, which can refer to an esper that has surpassed Level 5 and has reached SYSTEM or for SYSTEM itself.

Principles: The concept has been referred to since the beginning of the series with Misaka Mikoto referring to the struggle of the city trying to find a body that exceeds humans and can do God's calculations. SYSTEM is first referred to in name by Tsukuyomi Komoe while explaining what esper development is to Index and Himegami Aisa.

Both Tsukuyomi Komoe and Kihara Gensei, state that the goal of SYSTEM is to understand the will of the heavens, and to achieve it is to find a human that surpasses humanity. The city is dedicated into finding this, the most logical way is to have a Level 5 actually achieve Level 6, most specifically Accelerator. However, there are probably other methods of achieving it, such as with the case of Haruue Erii and the Crystallized Esper Essence.

According to Mugino Shizuri, Level 5 rankings are based on the importance of the Level 5 on the research of achieving SYSTEM.

The apparent reason why SYSTEM is trying to be achieved, is to gain the knowledge regarding the truth of the world, something that many a man of countless immemorial eons have tried to gain, even on the magic side.

Experiment:

As stated the purpose of Academy City was to create a Level 6, and most likely several experiments have been undergone to achieve it.

One of the most notable experiment in achieving a Level 6 was the Level 6 Shift, an experiment supported by Tree Diagram and is centered around Accelerator. The goal of the project was for Accelerator to kill specially prepared 20,000 Misaka Mikoto clones, in order to achieve SYSTEM. The plan fails as Kamijou Touma intervenes with the 10032nd experiment and defeating Accelerator.

The experiment was later revealed to have been planned to fail even without Touma's intervention, as it gave a Aleister Crowley an excuse to distribute the clones all over the world for "readjustments", although in truth, it was created in order for the clones to cover the globe with AIM which are dispersed by espers, namely the clones. Moreover, it is to create an Imaginary Number District-like realm, an Artificial Heaven into the world, which when activated by Aleister Crowley, completely disrupts a magician's ability to use magic, and severely injuring them, although it is unknown what the true extent of a perfected realm's effects on magicians is.

Similarities to magic concepts: Kabbalah:

After Komoe explains SYSTEM to Index, she shuddered in fright, as the concept of SYSTEM sounds close to the Kabbalah of the Magic side, where the heavens are not described on the Tree of Life – Sephiroth – though other areas like humans and angels are clearly stated. Wherein the positions of humans, angels and god are divided into 10 levels, and upon that tree, the position of God could not be found. As such, humans could not understand the territory of God.

According to the narrative, there was stated that a religious system to achieve understanding of God's territory. The concept is called, which stated if humans can't understand then all they have to do is obtain a body that's beyond humanity. They claimed that humans are but immature gods that can reach ascension and God's power with enough training, which even the Apostle John sees as blasphemous.

Alchemy: Himegami Aisa thought of Aureolus Izzard's "Ars Magna" - whose principle behind it is "to purify the murky, lead-like soul of a human into a pure golden soul of an angel". It also occurred to her that it's strange how Academy City, a force that's completely opposite to religion arrived at the same answer. It could be that whatever path humans take they would arrive at the same answer, or maybe there's something else behind all this.

Level 6 Shift
Current text:

Level 6 Shift (<rb>絶対能力者進化</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>レベル6シフト</rt><rp>) </rp>) is a term used to refer to the event where an esper "shifts" into a Level 6.

Many attempts have been made throughout the series to create a Level 6, though only the Level 6 Shift Project has been sanctioned by Academy City. Despite all these efforts, there have still no successful attempts at creating a Level 6 esper.

List of known Level 6 Shift attempts:
 * Ability Body Crystal Project: Kihara Gensei's attempt at achieving Level 6. Using the crystallized esper essence of overloaded espers on a chosen esper, Gensei theorized that one can attain a Level 6. Exposing the crystal to overloaded espers with the same ability, and to another esper who has the same ability and can achieve higher levels of power when exposed to certain factors, one can cause an AIM Diffusion Field Resonance thereby causing the resonance to power-up the esper, allowing the achievement of a Level 6. It was later abandoned by Gensei, though her granddaughter, Therestina Kihara Lifeline tried to continue the experiment. She was foiled by Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, Uiharu Kazari, and Saten Ruiko.
 * Level 6 Shift Project: Gensei changed tactics and became a major proponent of the Level 6 Shift of Accelerator. According to Tree Diagram, only Accelerator can achieve Level 6. As such, it was later calculated that Accelerator can achieve Level 6 if he kills clones of Misaka Mikoto, known as Sisters, 20,000 times in battle, then he may be able to achieve Level 6. It was later foiled by Kamijou Touma, Misaka Mikoto, and the Sisters themselves, helping Touma defeat Accelerator and making Tree Diagram's calculations that Accelerator is the strongest esper look erroneous.
 * Level 6 Shift attempt on Misaka Mikoto: Gensei once again attempted to create a Level 6, this time using Misaka Mikoto, though an unstable one unlike Accelerator. After a series of ruses and gambits, Gensei took over Shokuhou Misaki's Exterior, and invaded the Misaka Network via Misaka 10032 using Exterior, forcibly connecting the Misaka Network with Misaka Mikoto. Gensei was foiled by the combined efforts of Misaki (destroying her Exterior in the process, preventing Misaka Mikoto from continuously being connected to the Network), Sogiita Gunha, and Kamijou Touma, finally ending Gensei's quest to create a Level 6.
 * Level 6 Shift attempt on Hirumi: Isaac Rosenthal, an ancient spirit from the Rosenthal Family, a family that has tried to create the perfect golem, also known as God, or in science side terms: Level 6. He takes over the body of Hirumi after she was resurrected by Estelle Rosenthal using the spirit Taowu. He is later instructed by a self-proclaimed demon, that to create the perfect golem, a god, a soul will evolve slowly after it dies 10,000 times. Under the control of Hirumi's body, he manipulates her brother, Hishigata for this end: to create the perfect body and the perfect brain to create the perfect esper, a level 6. Hishigata later attains Misaka 10046, and takes from her the data needed to complete their formula as the Sister clones have experienced 10,031 deaths at the hands of Accelerator. Using Hirumi's body, Isaac inputs the formula into her body, making her body transform into a huge grotesque form.

Academy City Level 6 Experiments
Current text:

Academy City Level 6 Experiments is a collective term used to refer to the various experiments being conducted by Academy City in an effort to achieve Level 6 or SYSTEM. Both in Toaru Majutsu no Index and Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, there are mentions of scientists in Academy City who work in the development of the first Level 6 esper, one whose abilities are supposedly equivalent to "Absolute Power".

All known attempts of achieving Level 6 has a member of the Kihara Family involved somehow.

Principles: Several factions and organizations are after the title of being the first to create a Level 6 esper, and as such, more often than not they are rivals and results in sabotaging each others work. Though many experiments are kept in secret, due to the highly sensitive and illegal nature performed in some experiments, others are allowed by the Academy City Board of Directors, regardless of any moral implications, the illegality of the experiments, or the breaking of international treaties.

The Level 6 Shift Project:

With Kihara Gensei as the main proponent, the Level 6 Shift Project is an experiment designed for Accelerator - Academy City's strongest esper - to achieve Level 6. By killing Misaka Mikoto, the Railgun, 128 times in combat, then Accelerator would be able to achieve Level 6. However, since 128 Railguns could not be prepared then, according to Tree Diagram, 20,000 clones of Mikoto that are taken from the Sisters Project, can be used as a substitute and it would similarly lead to Accelerator becoming Level 6.

The experiment was apparently allowed by the Board of Directors, since Academy City is always under surveillance and the experiment were being conducted on the outside, though no security alerts were triggered during such experiments.

Ability Body Crystal Experiments:

Created by Kihara Gensei, the crystal in question was extracted from the essences of overloaded espers; Therestina Kihara Lifeline, Gensei's granddaughter, was used as the 'First Sample', extracting her essences to form the crystal. The exposure of the crystal to certain espers that display greater powers than their levels implies that under certain conditions it can create a Level 6.

Through the years, Gensei tried to refine the crystal and its effects; in one notable experiment, Gensei exposed the crystal to Kiyama Harumi's students to gather data, overloading the children and forcing them in a comatose state.

Therestina continued her grandfather's research on the crystal and nearly succeeded in the creation of a Level 6, even though she was in truth destinated to fail as the Tree Diagram had given hopeless response, and the apparent destruction of the city, if it not for the efforts of Misaka Mikoto and her comrades.

Level 6 Shift attempt on Misaka Mikoto:

Kihara Gensei once again attempts to create a Level 6, this time setting his eyes on the Misaka Mikoto and pouring the power of the Misaka Network into her as a vessel. The experiment failed after the destruction of Shokuhou Misaki's Exterior, through the combined efforts of her, Shirai Kuroko, Kamijou Touma, and Sogiita Gunha.

 * Large Heatwave (conditions in AC)
 * Chronology:
 * A Certain Middle-High School (December 8th?)
 * Tokiwadai (December 9th?)
 * Kamisato Faction (December 10th?)

After initial contact with the Elements, the Kamisato Faction performed experiments on captured subjects and determined that their activity was lowered in temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. Following this finding, Fran used a homemade station to flood Academy City in microwaves, creating an artificial heat wave with temperatures exceeding 55 degrees Celsius.

Large Heatwave
Large Heatwave ((大熱波):
 * Alternative titles: Academy City December Heatwave, December Heatwave, Large Heatwave
 * 3 days after Kamisato's disappearance (December 7th - 9th), abnormal 'weather' in Academy City
 * Temperatures exceeding 55 degrees Celsius
 * Asphalt starting to melt, urban infrastructure stopped, electricity, gas and water life-lines interrupted
 * Electronics and network wiped out, contact lost.
 * Residents under siege in building due to Elements.
 * Soon suffer from heat stroke if not in swimsuit
 * Water supply interrupted so require careful consumption of food/water, forced to carry out water hunts (水狩(みずがり)).
 * Touma and others using tightrope (綱渡り)/glider to move.
 * Tokiwadai - detecting underground water vein/combining abilities, relatively stable.
 * Mikoto explains, cause not weather but microwaves from space being focused on AC, turning it into huge oven. Ability can deflect but inefficient so focusing on AAA.
 * Caused by Fran on Kamisato Faction's behalf to surpress the activity of Elements.
 * Tendency for Elements to lurk in cool, dark places and more active at night.
 * Home-made space station, focusing microwaves onto AC, greatly diminishing activity time and range of Elements in city.
 * If not, Elements would be 50 to 60 times more active and AC would have fallen in half a day apparently.
 * After confronting Kihara Yuiitsu and the Elements' role end, no further need for heat wave.

A Certain Middle-High School
Ch1Pt1
 * Located near ACMHS on District 7's southern end, no use with power out, professional water purification equipment, culture medium for tank of organic microbes which consume bacteria, special sort of mud, make short work of resistant bacteria.
 * Tests with tube/microscope, eat bacteria, chlorine, boiling and filter for good measure, drink pool water.
 * Need quite a bit to cover entire 50m pool.
 * Set up as heroes, water hunt.
 * Half a day to set up routes, different options in case of unexpected, look into specs of microbes.

School District 7 Water Department
The School District 7 Water Department (第七学区 水道局) is a facility responsible for managing the water supply to School District 7.

Principles: The water department is located in the southern end of District 7, not too far from A Certain Middle-High School. The facility is comprised of two main buildings, one fenced-in, flat roofed, concrete building and a smooth, rectangular roofed, high-rise building, containing several septic tanks stacked vertically. A reinforced concrete pathway surrounded by glass connects the two buildings.

The high-rise building contains water purification equipment, with vertically stacked water tanks containing culture mediums for water purification microbes (浄水微生物) which consume bacteria. An example of the areas present in the high-rise building, visited by Kamijou Touma's group during the heat wave, comprised of a floor with no internal, dividing walls, with the majority of the space taken up by a large square hole opening onto a tank 40m long, 40m wide and 5m deep. Normally filled with water, they also contain mud at the bottom of the tank acts as the culture medium for the water purification microbes. A metal ladder is fitted to the wall of the tank for maintenance work.

Chronology, Element Arc:
 * TSP
 * Early in the morning of December 8th, in the middle of the abnormal heat wave and Elements' assault on the city, a party comprised of students from A Certain High School made their way to the water department in hopes of obtaining some of the water purification microbes used there, in order to purify the pool at A Certain Middle-High School and solve their water shortage problems. After using a glider and updrafts from the heat to access the roof of the flat building, they made their way to the purification building.
 * After finding that the cultivation medium was still alive, they managed to acquire some of the cultivation mud remaining in the nearly empty tank. On the way back however, the group came under attack from the Elements, whom they'd forgotten preferred cool, dark places. During the attack, Kamijou Touma was separated from his classmates, who managed to escape across the passageway to the flat building before a high-pressure water jet destroyed it. Shortly afterwards, the Elements in the facility were decimated by Misaka Mikoto using her newly acquired Anti-Art Attachment.

Element
(Image: Kamijou Touma facing a Class 1 (Flower Mantis) Element)

An Element (エレメント) is a type of artificial lifeform which swarmed Academy City during an abnormal December heatwave.

Etymology
(Four elements)

Principles
A hybrid of science and magic, Elements are a reduced life form (還元生命).

Elements have a large translucent crystal body and take the form of an animal or plant, often one specializing in mimicry. The Elements themselves also specialize in, being capable of blending in with their surroundings. The internal structures of the Element are apparently inefficient copies of those of regular living creatures, made from a carbon base and with a high specific gravity.

The Elements are driven by a magic-based core in the center of their body, shaped like a, which indicates the type of power it can use. The colors and powers of the cores correspond to the four elements; fire (red), water (blue), wind (yellow) and earth (green). Some variants are noted to be more common than others, with fire being common and wind rare. Common powers utilized by the Elements through these cores include:
 * Fire: A stream of fire with the thickness of heavy oil.
 * Water: A ultra-high pressure water jet which cuts like a laser.
 * Wind
 * Earth

Elements are also classed according to their size, with the minimumaverage size of each class being twice the minimum of the previous class; Class 1 being 3m, Class 2 being 6m, Class 3 being 12m and Class 4, initially assumed to be the largest, being 24m. The largest Elements seen are Class 6, which can measure over 100m.

Though their structures might be based off regular creatures, Elements can continue to move even after sustaining damage which would kill a normal creature. However if their core is destroyed, the Element will cease functioning and fall apart at the joints. Driven by supernatural power, the Elements are vulnerable to Imagine Breaker. One touch to the body will destroy the core, though it won't completely destroy the body itself.

The Elements can follow commands(Ch2Pt9) and are apparently capable of emitting killing intent unlike machines,(Ch2Pt8) but lack the intelligence to carry out certain tasks; while they can climb stairs and break down doors and windows, they can't open locks, turn doorknobs or use ladders and ropes.(Ch1)

Though possessing considerable strength due to their size, camouflage and elemental powers, Elements have a number of weaknesses. The activity of Elements is reduced in temperatures exceeding 42 degrees Celsius, which greatly limited their movements during the 55 degree heatwave, restricting them to cool, dark places during the day.

Unsorted Information
Chapters 1 & 2:
 * No organs to receive power from microwaves (Ch2Pt5)
 * Airbag (Ch2Pt7)
 * Generally confined to ground, difficulty with elevated areas, exceptions such as laser-like water cutter (Ch2Pt7?)
 * Smell of cooking doesn't attract(Ch1Pt?)
 * Corpse analysis - high specific gravity, shouldn't float back up in ocean water (Ch2Pt9)

Chapter 3:
 * Reduced lifeform : Remains of animals/plants turn into petroleum over long periods of time, possible to reverse process and differentiate petroleum into animal/plant, possibly class as heretical science doing exact opposite of stem cells, movable direction of joints and muscle extension follow set rules borrowed from existing creatures - not difficult to read movable range and safe zones once know trick.
 * Core using magical element at most basic level, reduced life form method only creates outward forms - not at level of creating soul or life. Simple combination, should have disguised light as pointing out in advance.
 * Hybrid of magic and science (Ch3Pt6)
 * 50 or 60 times momentum if not restricted by heat wave (half a day fall)
 * Class 0, smallest Element. Rice-sized object with small wings, six legs and stinger, acting to gather information for Yuiitsu while hiding in the microwave filled city.
 * Speculation: Return after gather data, touch feelers to relay, speaking with wings like cicada - transmission medium ultrasonic waves, not disturbed by microwaves but not travelling far?
 * At top of wind turbine, small translucent icicle length of two pens, like a mini Crystal Tower, resembles cellphone relay antennae seen around city.
 * Kamisato: Class 0 gather info, oscillate to transmit with ultrasonic waves to base station, station picks up signals for area and transmits to Yuiitsu. Need to look at base of antennae - if countermeasure against microwaves and isn't ultrasonic waves then wire - underground wire network of Element nerves to guide info back to Yuiitsu's hideout.
 * Class 6, Fire, plesiosaur-like silhouette,, Hawaiian inchworm, moth larva, original less than 5cm, less than 0.1 seconds to extend 'neck', multiple in Ch3, scatter flames sticky as heavy oil.
 * Slip on rust-proofing spray, plesiosaur-like shape, centre of gravity located quite high up, wind from collapse capable of knocking over a few buildings. Heavy, easier for own weight to be used against them. Useless if slip. Synthetic rope and weights, swung and ends thrown at neck and leg, rope catches on leg, head torn off, too big for human - help from Elements' size/force,50 times human size, rope thick as thumb thin/sturdy as piano wire to them, application of force to cut down.
 * Can create blind spots/restrict movements.
 * Class Unknown,, plastic sheets with instant glue on surface, tossed in air towards wings, butterfly/moth wings create unique whirling air current, know to create lift on plane/helicopter level but scaled down, hone in optimal form through natural selection not allowing slightest error, sheets creates bumps disturbing air flow along wings, lift not maintain, tailspin into mantises.
 * Precision attacks, cracks spreading and growing.
 * Clear bottle of boiled down, concentrated industrial cleaner, break on leg of Class 6, chemical smoke/sizzle, organic carbon-based bodies - corrode like normal from hydrochloric/sulphuric acid, leg damage 1/100 of body but supporting large body (like pin heel breaking), lost balance/collapse.
 * Less active in environment above 42 degrees Celsius, determined from Ellen's analysis.

Crystal Tower
The Crystal Tower (水晶の塔) is a structure which appeared in the center of School District 7, acting to guide the Elements descending into Academy City from space. Breaking through from below a domed stadium, the tower was 200m tall and 30m thick at its base, thickness reducing further up the tower like an inverted icicle. The tower resembled the Elements when seen from a distance.

Elements entered Academy City by dropping down from space at night when few were looking. In order to achieve a pinpoint landing on Academy City, as well as an angle of entry such that they won't be deflected outward or burn up in the atmosphere, they required guidance from the surface. The Crystal Tower carried out this function by intermittently sending up an optical signal into space from the center of the city.

With a structure similar to that of the Elements, the Crystal Tower was vulnerable to Imagine Breaker and began to collapse on touch.

The true function of the Crystal Tower however was actually as a decoy to draw out and identify potential threats, as well as a trigger for a counterattack. While the enemy's attention was focused on the conspicuous tower and space-drop, their base of operations would be tracked and then destroyed by a coordinated attack to cut off their supply line before moving in to finish them off.

Background
Following her initial acquisition of the World Rejecter on December 6th, Kihara Yuiitsu unleashed the Elements in order to draw out Kamisato Kakeru and his faction. After Ellen's research determined a weakness, Fran flooded Academy City with microwaves, bringing about a 55C heatwave which limited the Elements' activities.

In order to slow the Elements down, Fran caused a 55 degree heatwave in the city, restricting their movements. For the next few days, the residents of the city suffered due to both the Elements and the heatwave, with only a few groups and individuals fighting against them.(Ch1,2,3) When Kakeru and his faction eventually confronted Yuiitsu, she cannibalized the remaining Elements for her own version of the Anti-Art Attachment.(Ch4)

Personality

 * NT13/15 development
 * Instability, broken pride, feeling of having fallen behind, apprehension, burden.

As of December of the current year, following the encounter with the High Priest and a glimpse at what Touma had been facing, Mikoto's pride has been considerably damaged, seeing how far behind she was and feeling she was nothing but a burden to him. At the same time, she is desperate to catch up with Touma and be able to stand on the same stage as him so she could tell him her feelings. This has led to her personality becoming somewhat unstable and developing in a potentially dangerous direction, noted by Salome and exacerbated by her acquisition of the Anti-Art Attachment.

Chronology, Element Arc
Following her initial encounter with the Anti-Art Attachment, Mikoto had her own version constructed and started her own school club in order to get a hangar and manpower to maintain it. She made extensive use of the A.A.A. during the subsequent struggle against the Elements swarming Academy City in the midst of a 55 degree heat wave.

Anti-Art Attachment


Following her initial encounter with the powered suit, Mikoto has a modified version created for her own use. This Anti-Art Attachment possesses most of the armaments used by the original version. Mikoto has attempt to reconstruct the original's 'black box', but apparently hasn't been able to recreate it. However she has been experiencing nose bleeds since beginning to use the A.A.A.

Anti-Art Attachment

 * Gather and rear up like plesiosaur, appraisal?(Pt12)
 * Mikoto version.

Principles

 * Part of system missing like jigsaw complete by filling gaps with white pieces, not meant for this use, defeat purpose like battleship engines off and moving with sails.

The components of the suit include things such as arms, weapons of various kinds, ammunition and armor, floating around the body like some pseudo-transforming robot. The unit can move in response to the users movements and commands, and can reconfigure itself to match them. Several components directly equip to the user and in turn connect to others. The parts and weapons of the unit can be swapped out depending on the circumstances.
 * Summoned by EM waves, reconfigured to match Mikoto.(Pt15) Gather around, break apart, transferred and change design. Armor on limbs, joint on back, weapons attach to armor/joint. Supporting leg behind.

The amount of weapons used for this powered suit is described as on "the level of building a fortress", and with a level of firepower capable of making a crater out of a fortress built to withstand the strongest tanks. It can weigh more than twenty tons in all, but is capable of flying, in a way which seemingly ignores gravity, using rocket boosters which can propel it at speeds of over Mach 20.
 * Blast tore Yuiitsu away and blew Touma away, sound/light vanished, blast made to make crate of fortress built to withstand most powerful tank, not small wave or just three times speed of sound.(Pt16)

Components
The Anti-Art Attachment's arsenal includes guns, cannons, swords, spears, flamethrowers, liquid nitrogen emitters, molecular vibration electromagnetic wave emitters, catapults, lasers and excitation emission rods for them, missile pods   with precision-guided missiles, plasma cannons, bunker busting and excavation drills, plasma blades, acid sprayers, gatling guns, rapid-fire cannons and a large caliber railgun, of the type carried on railways and meant for destroying fortresses. The unit's name is engraved on the sides of some of its components.
 * Not meant for equipping on craft but directly equipping to a person.(Pt12)

Misaka Mikoto's Version

 * Version modified for her use. Attempting to recreate black box.
 * Club and hangar.

Kihara Yuiitsu's Version

 * Devoured Elements with Shoggoth and reconfigure.
 * Dog's head and 'Dog's life' written on surface of big chainsaw .(Image)
 * Can be destroyed by Imagine Breaker (even pair of special steel chainsaws have vulnerable sections).

During her battle with the Kamisato Faction below the Windowless Building, Kihara Yuiitsu constructed her own Anti-Art Attachment, devouring the remaining Elements to use as material for the unit. Yuiitsu used a different approach from Noukan, without any help from Aleister, and as such her Anti-Art Attachment isn't connected to Aleister and his power. As Yuiitsu doesn't fully understand the original, she is only reproducing its destructive power. Being constructed from Elements, Yuiitsu's A.A.A. shares some of their traits, such as their ability to blend in with the background and their vulnerability to Imagine Breaker.

Yuiitsu's A.A.A. has a cold yet streamlined and biological appearance, with large portions being translucent. Sharp, crystalline protrusions extending from her back, form a pair of giant wings, with other protrusions resembling eyeballs, claws and fangs. Two long, narrow boosters are positioned on the back of the unit and produce a red light when lit.

Yuiitsu's A.A.A. includes a variety of cannons, lasers, anti-air guns, launchers and armor parts, some of it covering Yuiitsu's legs (tweak). One of its notable weapons is a giant anti-special steel chainsaw, with 'Dog's life' on its surface and a golden retriever head logo inscribed on its surface.
 * The unit is also said to have sensors and other features to assist in aiming and diverting impacts.
 * Aside from the unit's direct firepower, Yuiitsu also makes use of the heat and shockwaves from the weapons being fired (even without aiming), as well as the camouflage ability derived from the Elements, hiding behind the armor parts to disappear from sight. (firing to restrict movement before bringing down chainsaw)

External Link
In a scan of the Anti-Art Attachment's operating system, this function of the Anti-Art Attachment appears similar to a closed circle, not functioning as a circuit and usually not able to be read properly, with the chance of one being sent elsewhere if the link to the 'outside' is carelessly accessed. The Anti-Art Attachment can be used regardless of whether one has a proper understanding of this function (though it defeats the purpose it was meant for), but using the Anti-Art Attachment can result in this power being drawn upon, even if the user doesn't intend for it, and as with any other form of magic, will cause a rejection reaction in espers.


 * Part of system missing like jigsaw complete by filling gaps with white pieces, not meant for this use, defeat purpose like battleship engines off and moving with sails.
 * Mikoto's attempt to read structure of system, instinctively pulled back. Not just one weapon. Feeling of danger/confusion. No language/firewall are barriers but blank spot unable to be read (not nothing there). Weapon operating system laid out in exact detail, however circle closed around spot and not functioning as circuit, filled with unfamiliar.
 * Shaped like weapon, not weapon, wear skin of science but not explained by it. Same feeling as felt during battle with Salome, hopeless powerful and no end. Threat of taking the wrong path, possible destruction of self.(Pt12)
 * Revise slightly due to miscommunication/mistaken impressions.

Anatomy Mechatronics
Originating from cyborg research, Anatomy Mechatronics involves making a perfect model or doll of an individual using pure technology, with exact copies of their skeleton, muscles, organs, blood vessels and nerves. The only part which isn't perfectly replicated is the subject's brain. Though a collection of medical technology on paper, the machines extract energy in the exact same way as the organs they are based on, so the doll will get hungry and sleep at night in the same way as a person. Once complete, size doesn't matter and in the case of the doll based on Shokuhou Misaki, it was shrunk down for easier storage and transportation.

To Touma's dismay, Othinus didn't hide herself or keep quiet while he was with his classmates, causing some misunderstandings. She did however hide herself when Touma encountered Kamisato, who had also transferred to the school.(Ch2Pt3,4,5)

On December 4th, as Kamisato transferred to the school which Touma was going to following the damage done to his school the day before, the faction was alerted by Fran to Salome's release and arrival in Academy City.

On December 5th, when Touma was betrayed by Kamisato after having agreed to cooperate in order to create a video to lure Salome and stop her targeting the Kamijou Faction, the Kamisato Faction ganged up on him. They were thwarted when Salome herself interrupted them, having brought Accelerator with her.

That night, the faction was present when Kamisato planned to face Touma at the school. When Kihara Yuiitsu stole Kakeru's hand and the World Rejecter, the girls offered themselves and their weapons in order to increase Salome's power so she could fight her.

Keshouin Asuka:
 * Personality: Shy, tendency to run off crying to Mie.

Akikawa Mie:
 * Rewrite TSP.
 * Current - A125's Version:
 * Mie returns the next day to find out that the student body of A Certain High School will make use of their large campus after their school got destroyed by High Priest. Here, she constantly tries to have Touma remember that he saved her during her flight with the Liquid Diamond incident, though he does not recall, much to her chagrin. As a close friend of Keshouin Asuka, she knows how exactly she acts around various situations. This becomes useful when she and Asuka find Touma being carried by a recently armless Salome. Asuka tries to bribe Salome with a piece of food that Mie made for her in order to protect her, to which Mie becomes suspicious, as she knows she would rather protect the food that Mie made for her as well. As the day continues, she becomes more and more suspicious, eventually confronting her at the school's incinerator. There, she confirms that Asuka is not the same one she knows. Knowing that no one would believe her, she asks for Touma's help as she is aware of the unusual things that happen to him, though her first choice was Kamisato Kakeru.
 * After explaining the situation, Touma and Salome believe that Kakeru has been manipulated by his faction into acting in the gruesome act of shoving Asuka into the incinerator, having her be replaced by someone else, and having Touma's friends try to use it so that he can use it against Touma. They later confront Touma's friends about what they are doing, eventually forcing Salome to destroy the incinerator only to find that it is empty. Mie does not believe that she was mistaken with Asuka, and is later proven right when after Kakeru denies to Touma and Salome that he had done something to Asuka, Kihara Yuiitsu shows herself before them. Here, she used the FIVE_Over (Out_Sider) - Modelcase_"MENTAL_OUT to disguise herself as Asuka and monitor Kakeru in the hopes of getting her revenge on him for killing Kihara Noukan.

Salome

 * Found too much to deal with, altered direction of consciousness to trap in labyrinth in mental world, electrobes removed or neurotransmitter cut off not enough.(1-4)
 * Stands out even within highly individualistic Kamisato Faction, unable to get along with normal society, broken before faction formed.(1-4)
 * Non-blood little sister for Kamisato.(1-4)
 * Smuggled self in air cargo room


 * Commented on admirable concern? Clothes - eliminated possibilities to blood stains, dropped and stepped on glass, spiky(caltrop-like) pieces, (hotel/med history) told panicking worker to look up Mass Murderer and Salome for criminal history (Pt5)
 * Not love showing off skin (Pt5).
 * Weapons in sports bag.

Appearance
Salome has long silver hair, rolled up on either side of her hand like disks or demon horns, and partially tanned skin (smooth, mannequin).


 * Hair glitters at angles like CD, rolled up either side like disks/demon horns . Tan line.(1-5)

Personality

 * Not love showing off skin?(Pt5)
 * Won't kill if it doesn't benefit her brother or if done nothing wrong.
 * Crazy and recognizes it, certain embrace, but follows her own set of rules. Recognizes others as crazy when they themselves don't.
 * Dancing with death, thrill, recklessness
 * Flustered at question regarding Kamisato.
 * Hatred for Kamisato Faction's brand of stupidity.

Salome is an individual considered by many to be crazy, who is quite willing to kill and takes a thrill in hunting targets of value. She is quite reckless, perfectly willing to provoke dangerous individuals and put her life at risk by sacrificing and replacing her own body. Salome recognizes that she is an insane monster and embraces her reputation as a mass murderer to a certain extent, however she also recognizes how she may receive her just desserts as a result of the path she's chosen and follows her own set of rules - she doesn't like targeting defenseless commoners or innocents, and won't kill if it wouldn't benefit her brother in some way. She also recognizes and acknowledges when others are also crazy, in a similar or different way to her, even when they themselves might not be aware.

Though she does what she does for her brother's sake, she isn't blindly devoted in the same way as the other members of the Kamisato Faction, whom she holds a degree of contempt for, and will act against his wishes if she deems it necessary. She lacks the conflicting desires necessary to be affected by World Rejecter.

Salome has a frank manner of speaking, like that of a, and has a tendency to end sentences with ", don’tcha think?" (～っしょ)(note: intensive).(ref) She also has a good luck charm which she performs as a sign of resolve, where she grabs and kisses the toy pocket watch she wears round her neck.

Background

 * Background
 * History with Kamisato
 * Hunts

The full circumstances behind Salome's family aren't known, however Salome is known to have been raised/lived in the family of her non-blood brother Kamisato Kakeru. Around this time, she was already broken.(Ref-Hide) Growing up together, Kamisato apparently taught Salome how to ride a bike and use chopsticks, held her hand to school, helped her with homework and gave her advice when she received her first love letter from someone she didn't particularly like, among other things. As Salome was often late, he once spent his allowance on a toy watch for her, which she treasured ever since. At another time, the two played an election game together, with Salome using assassination tactics while Kamisato favored luring his opponents into committing crimes and placing them in the category of criminal. Though there wasn't anything particularly special about him, his normality and caring attitude towards Salome despite her being a twisted killer led to her falling for him.

Salome eventually ran away from home, though she sometimes showed up at school despite doing so. Her parents submitted a missing persons report, but neither they nor the police seriously tried to find her, fearing and wishing to avoid blame for not fulfilling their responsibilities, with an arrest at that point likely to make things worse for the police. As a 'mass' murderer, Salome tended to target groups such as end-time cults or divers carrying packages from the sea at night. However, while others were merely glancing her way, Kakeru continued to look straight at her and spoke to her, often scolding her about killing being wrong. He didn't abandon her like everyone else and Salome looked up to him, up until the time when he received World Rejecter and the Kamisato Faction gathered around him.

At some relatively recent point in time, Salome sacrificed her body to her magic and replaced it with an artificial one. At another point, the Kamisato Faction, considering her too much trouble to deal with, incapacitated Salome by using some electrodes to cut off her neurotransmitters and keep her brainwaves below a functional level, altering the direction of her consciousness to trap her in a mental labyrinth. However, as the faction moved to Academy City as Kamisato targeted Gremlin and Kamijou Touma, Sunny and Rain removed the electrodes and were subsequently attacked by her. Salome then took a list that they had of individuals linked to the Kamijou Faction and smuggled herself into Academy City in a plane's cargo compartment.

Chronology
As she was stirring after arriving at Academy City's airport on December 4th, Salome was discovered by an airport worker in the cargo room. Remarking at the worker's initial concern for her despite her being suspicious, she verbally eliminated the possibilities for her clothes until arriving at the blood-stain reason. Dropping some spiky glass pieces on the floor and walking over them, Salome told the panicked worker that if he wanted to know her criminal history he should look up Salome and Mass Murderer.

After causing a disturbance at the airport, Salome targeted Hamazura Shiage at a bank. Failing to provoke him, Salome instead set her sights on the vault, using her magic and causing the building to tilt diagonally.


 * That night, Salome approached Misaka Mikoto, gathered a chain, remark on insanity.
 * Interrupted by Claire, clash.

In the ensuing confrontation, Salome bisected Claire horizontally, who only survived thanks to her ability.

The next day, after waiting for a while at a bus stop, Salome set her sights on Accelerator.
 * Arm ripped off after referring to Last Order
 * Recognize not AC-made, explained Internal Offering.
 * Further taunting using Last Order-trigger.

During their battle, Salome noticed her brother and the Kamisato Faction attempting to kill Touma, and lured Accelerator towards them.
 * Checked phone and saw what was happening, call off fight (Accel doesn't care).
 * Used possibility of child hit by stray shot to get distance and held for Touma's position with Accelerator in pursuit.
 * Kicked away Luca, hinted killing Kamisato Faction, left carrying Touma as they were caught in the storm of Accelerator's attack.




 * Angry at Kamisato, actually not involved.
 * Ambushed by Kihara Yuiitsu, World Rejecter stolen.


 * Feint, closed in, forced back by Yuiitsu's imitation of Amata's technique, tries to stop/admonishes Touma for giving away WR's activation condition.
 * While Touma buys time, kisses watch uses sacrifices from the Kamisato Faction to boost her power and get a chain going.
 * Made use of combination attacks (and chance from immunity to WR) to partially sever hand, Yuiitsu uses MG imitations in bluff.
 * Body damaged (mention of karma for Claire).
 * Partly separation, with Touma.
 * On Touma's back, thrown by UL explosion, Mikoto caught, knocked away again, fell into trees, (where Mikoto ended up) told to focus on Yuiitsu, not coming.

As Yuiitsu was going after Mikoto, Salome directed Touma to use the opportunity to make a surprise attack. She revealed that she had been maintaining her chain of sacrifices using her spare body parts she'd hid in Touma's hood, her body being a weapon in its own right. Taking a bite out of her plastic watch, she launched an attack which severed Yuiitsu's wings and gave Touma the chance to strike, though he failed to take her down.

After Mikoto saved Touma from Yuiitsu using the Anti-Art Attachment, Salome, now reduced to a head, warned Touma to keep an eye on Mikoto, saying that she might soon take a big step down the wrong path.

Abilities

 * Abilities
 * Sacrificial magic
 * External Offering
 * Internal Offering (Ch3Pt3)
 * Body properties (overlap with above)

Current: Salome makes use of Celtic-based sacrifice magic, which allows her to destroy and offer up weapons to a god, in her case the sea god, in order to increase her strength and gain the destroyed weapons' traits. While using her magic, Salome needs to offer up a weapon and continue the chain of sacrifices within three minutes, otherwise it resets to zero and she loses the acquired power. Her sacrificial magic comes in two forms; External Offering (外的御供), which offers up the weapons she destroys barehandedly and Internal Offering (内的御供) which offers up parts of her own body.

Salome also has a peculiar bodily composition which is convenient in the use of her Internal Offering. She is capable of functioning normally despite losing bodily organs or entire limbs, and can still talk normally despite being reduced to a head. In addition, she can still use Internal Offering even in such a state, pointing out that biting through the remains of still intact body parts is enough to invoke the technique.

Note:
 * What matters for a sacrifice is importance of it to person offering.
 * If great season and excess of food, rice/fish won't count as sacrifice. Strange abducted won't work as living sacrifice.
 * Voodoo rituals - soul sold to devil, once a year must offer someone whom it pains to sacrifice (family member, lover, beloved teacher etc), once run out, pay with their own life.
 * Salome's magic is the same.
 * External Offering not enough for peace of mind as mass murderer so offered something more precious, her own body (Internal Offering), living sacrifice (exchange one's life for wish), survive even when surrendering self by replacing herself and becoming a tool, artificial body beyond normal human capability.(3-3)
 * Gathered what could find, opened gut and exchanged on own, sacrificing each part, handmade body - no one else can fix in emergency, possibly not perfectly shielded against germs, chemicals, rush, EM waves etc, use pacemaker from chip from toy gimmick light or alarm clock to keep heart beating.
 * Raincoats - frosted glass filter to make look real, or keeping water/dust out
 * Rust/germs could reach brain anytime, partners with death in many ways.
 * Smile remains as though enjoying tightrope walk, truly insane.
 * External Offering absorbs weapons/armor destroyed barehanded and snowballs power. Not good match for people who don't rely on civilized tools and use own two arms.
 * Sound like wet roll of thread straining, no blood, surface of arm smooth but eeriness of marionette.

Current (2): Salome's main spell is External Offering (外的御供), Celtic-based sacrifice magic which allows her to destroy and offer up weapons to a god, in her case the sea god, in order to increase her strength and gain the destroyed weapons' traits. The requirement for this spell to work is that she needs to be able to destroy the weapon with her own hands. Because of this, she can't absorb something if it's too powerful or if it doesn't function as a weapon. She can keep absorbing power from lesser weapons in order to increase her overall strength and be able to destroy more powerful weapons, building up a continuous chain of destruction that rapidly and indefinitely increases her power. However, if she doesn't sacrifice a weapon within three minutes of the last sacrifice, her "chain" will break and the absorbed power will vanish. Salome can freely rearrange and combine the attributes of the weapons she has absorbed to modify her attacks, being able to produce invisible blades with various attributes by simply swinging her hand. The power, range and shape of these blades changes as Salome's chain of absorbed weapons increases.
 * Iron Sand Sword: After absorbing Misaka Mikoto's iron sand sword, Salome retaliated by swinging her hand, producing a long invisible blade that tore the asphalt and cut a railing in two.
 * Flamethrower + Katana: An attack that looks like if a ton of sharp Japanese swords shot out with the force of a flamethrower.
 * Tear gas + Sledgehammer: An attack similar to a pressure attack that scatters a blinding smokescreen that contains physical pressure.
 * Explosive + Longbow + Electric guitar: An attack similar to an explosive acoustic weapon that blows out the target’s eardrums just by plucking the strings.
 * Stun gun + Water gun + Bullet + Hammer throw: An attack similar to a giant anti-materiel sniper bullet that’s ballistic path bends complexly like electricity running along a body of water.

Salome's secondary magic is Internal Offering (内的御供), a type of Celtic sacrifice magic which offers up parts of her own body. Salome has abandoned her original body using a chemical cyborg treatment and she gradually offered up her spare flesh and blood to her god as she did so in order to drastically raise her physical abilities. Her constitution leaves her apparently immune to pain. She also doesn't bleed from injuries, and can continue living just fine even if her artificial body is maimed. Losing an arm doesn't slow her at all, and she can survive having the lower half of her body being destroyed and even continue living and talking as just a head. Thanks to this artificial body, Salome still possesses a degree of superhuman strength even without her External Offering, being capable of breaking normal weapons such as a katana barehandedly. Her special body also makes Amata's and Yuiitsu's shockwave technique ineffective. Salome refers to her body as her "battle body" that lacks organs unnecessary for battle, which made Touma suggest she might have spare bodies for other purposes.

Due to External Offering, Salome's entire body counts as a weapon. Thus, she can sacrifice parts of her artificial body like her organs to keep her External Offering chain going when there's no more weapons available.

Salome was capable of copying Kihara Yuiitsu's imitation of Amata's technique in a very short time, using it to save Touma when Yuiitsu managed to use it on him by countering the bubbles with her own shockwaves.

External Offering
The first form of Salome's magic, External Offering...

Internal Offering
The other form of Salome's magic, Internal Offering...

In Salome's case, she sacrifices parts of her own body. In order to survive even having sacrificed her body parts, Salome has replaced her own body with an artificial one, turning herself into a tool.
 * Body properties (overlap with above)
 * Stronger than human capacity (crush weapons with bare hands), some limits
 * Easy to repair with means found.

Other Skills
Aside from her magic, Salome has skill with regards to killing means, having been a killer long before (recently) giving up her body, and blending in with crowds and surroundings to avoid detection.
 * Athletic ability, strategic ability to escape KF.
 * Ability to conveniently repair self with any materials come across.

Trivia

 * Salome primarily uses 'watashi' (私) as her first-person pronoun and refers to Kamisato as 'Onii-chan' (お兄ちゃん).atwiki

Kihara Noukan

 * Status: Fatally injured, in stasis, lost conscious just as flash-freezing was initiated, unlikely to recover (Ep). Said to have been "finished off" (Aft-Trans), however that is not necessarily as absolute an indication or proof as some would believe. Regardless, very unlikely to recover, so categorized as 'Deceased' at the moment, regardless of actual status at suspension.
 * Area of presumption potential. One assumption presumed to be only correct truth when really only one interpretation with current information.
 * Minefields.
 * Good/Evil, Like/Dislike.

Personality (Pre-Revision)
Uncommon for a Kihara, Noukan apparently upholds some code of ethics; this ranges from how one should not waste food to how unneeded sacrifices should be avoided. Thus, despite being a Kihara, Noukan dislikes destruction when it is unnecessary, but is willing to use it when it becomes necessary in doing so. He says his dislike for unnecessary destruction is more of a matter with his like and dislike instead of being good and evil. In spite of this, he is aware that he is a horrible individual, and his use of "necessary" destruction gives him a place in the world.

Thus this further hints on how, unlike most Kiharas, he will show regret in regards to having to stain his hands in the past. Unlike how most Kiharas would show little to absolutely no emotional care for others, which include their own relatives, Noukan seems to be the one of the few exceptions as he greatly cares for the safety of Kihara Yuiitsu.

Personality (Revision)

 * One of the few Kiharas with an understanding of the realm outside science, romance and sentimentality (like Kagun).(V11Ep)(V14Ch2)(V14Ep)
 * "Like" and "Dislike", "Good" and "Evil", "Good" and "Bad.
 * Intellectual/gentleman, dandy gentleman

An intellectual and a gentleman, Noukan is one of the few Kiharas to have an understanding of sentimentality and, and as such doesn't always take actions that can be dictated by logic and efficiency. He is also one of the few to have an understanding of the realm outside science. Unlike most Kiharas, who generally show little to absolutely no emotional care for others, including their own relatives, Noukan is capable of caring for others, such as his student Kihara Yuiitsu. Noukan tends to class things between "good" and "bad" or "evil", and between "like" and "dislike".

Uncommon for a Kihara, Noukan apparently upholds some code of ethics; this ranges from how one should not waste food to how unneeded sacrifices should be avoided. Despite being a Kihara, Noukan dislikes destruction when it is unnecessary, but is willing to use it when it becomes necessary to do so. He says his dislike for unnecessary destruction is more of a matter with his like and dislike instead of being good and evil. In spite of this, he is aware that he is a horrible individual, and his use of "necessary" destruction gives him a place in the world, perhaps hinting that unlike most Kihara he shows regret with regards to having to stain his hands in the past.

Noukan has a strong resolve to follow the path that the original Kiharas and their will, intending to live and die in the current world while walking along this path and would never be swayed from it by the 'salvation' offered by ones who can only rely on the supernatural. As such, he lacks the conflicting desires required to be targeted by World Rejecter.


 * Combining robots, drills, pilebunkers, men's romance
 * Mellower

Background (Pre-Revision)
Noukan is a product of one of the original Kiharas and was likely present just as the concept of the "Kihara" was still taking shape. Despite being a dog, Noukan is capable of human speech, and has the voice of a man who seems to be in the prime of his life. Furthermore, he is said to be the most influential of the Kiharas in many different fields, as shown when he offered to Kihara Yuiitsu rich people who are dumb enough to be used in one of her experiments. According to Shundou Toshizou, Noukan apparently had achieved great intelligence by having his canine brain expanded, and that the dog has been alive for eighty years.

Noukan apparently has a role similar to that of Rensa who is a counter to the seven Level 5s. Instead of Level 5s however, he is a counter to beings like Ladylee Tangleroad, Fräulein Kreutune, and Aiwass. Thus this shows that he was one of the few, of Academy City, to know the existence of magic.

Background (Revision)
Noukan was granted intelligence by one of the original seven Kiharas and was likely present just as the concept of the "Kihara" was still taking shape. After they died, Noukan resolved to carry on their will as a Kihara.

Over eighty years, Noukan grew to become an influential member of the Kihara family, the most influential in many different fields. He also formed ties with Aleister Crowley, gained an understanding of the world a step outside science and was given the role of acting as a counter to beings from that realm, similar to how Rensa was meant to counter the Level 5s.

In the past, Noukan had conversations with Kihara Kagun, though he had found him difficult to be around due to children interrupting them and try to play with him, in particular Kumokawa Maria. Noukan later took over observing the adult network Kagun had built up to protect children after Kagun's departure from Academy City.

World Rejecter Arc
Later that night, Noukan had dinner with Yuiitsu, complimenting and devouring her cooking, but was troubled by a feeling of unease. As he was settling down for a short post-dinner nap, he mentioned to Yuiitsu how he was bothered about how the Magic Gods suddenly vanished but didn't mention his feeling of unease, something beyond logic, which a pure Kihara would probably not understand.

Taking a night-time walk to a convenience store to buy some more cigars, Noukan had a conversation with the shopkeeper, checking if anything had been picked up by the observation network Kagun had created, talking about Kagun himself and discussing how Noukan himself had changed. As Noukan was about to leave, the shopkeeper told him that there would be a place with them if he ever grew tired of being a Kihara. After leaving, Noukan looked at the shining moon again, considering it an ill omen.

Noukan later picked up the overhauled Anti-Art Attachment from a hangar in School District 7, complimenting the quick work and discussing his thoughts on the intruder with Aleister. As Noukan asked about what had happened to the plan, Aleister said that he would deal with it somehow before saying sorry to Noukan. Understanding what Aleister was implying, Noukan said he would struggle on in his own way and knowing they might not speak again, told Aleister he wouldn't stop him from trying to improve humanity but asked him not to abandon his humanity in the process.

Noukan confronted Kamisato Kakeru after his last battle with Kamijou Touma left him wounded. Noukan used all of the weapons in the Anti-Art Attachment's arsenal, but due to its connection to Aleister and his conflicting desires, they were erased by World Rejecter. As this was happening, Noukan wondered whether Aleister knew it would happen and set up the rails while accepting his own flaws to reach the conclusion which benefited him most, realizing that it was to create the "opposing axis", that Aleister had finally recovered and the plan was back on track. Eventually stripped of all of his weapons, Noukan was asked by Kakeru if he wished for a new world, but replied with his resolve to follow the path of the original Kiharas and live and die in the current world, before continuing to fight.

Noukan put up a powerful resistance, but was beaten to near-death and left with life-threatening injuries. Yuiitsu found the mortally injured Noukan afterwards, breaking down in tears while trying to figure out a way to save her teacher. Unable to save him with the time and technology available to her, Yuiitsu carried Noukan to a nearby facility, deciding to place Noukan into cold sleep in the hope that he could somehow be saved in the future. Proud of her of having made the decision and knowing this would likely be the last time he could speak to her, Noukan suppressed what he wanted to tell her and focused on what would allow his student to grow. Urging Yuiitsu to surpass him and go beyond 'Kihara', Noukan told Yuiitsu he had nothing more to teach her. Immediately afterwards, he lost consciousness as Yuiitsu activated the flash-freezing process.

Abilities (Revision)

 * Weapons as dog (bite)

Having had his brain expanded by the original Kiharas, through arithmetic circuits and external attachments fitted to his body, Noukan possesses great intelligence, even among the Kihara Family. He also has an expanded lifespan, having lived over 80 years. His intellect and experience has allowed him to become the most influential member of the Kihara family in many different fields, despite being a dog.

As well as the scientific understanding of a Kihara and an understanding of romance and sentimentality that allows him to see beyond the regular Kihara, Noukan also has an understanding of the world a step outside the realm of science, which is necessary in his role as a counter to beings from that world, such as Ladylee Tangleroad, Fräulein Kreutune, and Aiwass.

Aside from enhancing his intelligence, his external attachments also allow him to connect to weapons, speak in human language with an artificial voice sounding like a man in their prime, and also include slender robotic arms, which Noukan usually uses for handling cigars.

Noukan's primary armament is the Anti-Art Attachment (対魔術式駆動鎧 (アンチアートアタッチメント)), a Powered Suit which provides him with a wide array of weaponry, on the level of a fortress, and allows him to draw upon Aleister Crowley's power and techniques. Noukan has been described as not just borrowing Aleister's power, acting similar to an elite soldier infiltrating enemy lines to lock onto an airstrike target with a laser sight. Using this connection, Noukan has been able to create a circular territory which displaces water from his vicinity, and deliver Aleister's willpower in a strange form which can kill Magic Gods, ones whom Aleister truly hates. Given Kihara Noukan's role, it is likely that the suit was created for his use alone.

Relationships

 * Kihara Yuiitsu, Aleister Crowley, Kihara Kagun, Shopkeeper, Maria
 * Compress

Kihara Yuiitsu
Being his student, Noukan is one of the few people Kihara Yuiitsu cares about and will be on her best behavior around him. On seeing her teacher grievously injured, Yuiitsu was driven to tears but immediately tried to calculate a way to save him, despairing as she realized she couldn't save him in time with what she currently had.
 * Romance - doesn't get it?

Likewise, Noukan cares for his student. When Yuiitsu decided to put Noukan into cold sleep in hope of being able to save him in the future, after he was left near to death after his battle with Kamisato Kakeru, Noukan was proud of her for making the decision. In what he knew would likely be his last chance to speak with her, he had things he wished to say to her, but knowing that those words would merely turn Yuiitsu into another version of him, he instead focused on what would be best for Yuiitsu's growth.

Aleister Crowley
Noukan has close ties to Aleister Crowley, entrusted by him with the role of countering beings from the realm a step outside science, as well as drawing on his power and techniques in battle. Noukan has a better understanding of Aleister's mind and position than most people. In their last conversation, Noukan told Aleister that he wouldn't stop him from trying to improve humanity but asked him not to abandon his humanity, knowing there were people who followed him because of it.

Aleister has confidence in Noukan's abilities, entrusting him with the elimination of the true Gremlin after Aleister had succeeded in weakening them. As Noukan was getting ready for his battle against the World Rejecter, Aleister apologized to him, knowing that he would likely fall.

Kihara Kagun
Kagun was similar to Noukan in the sense that they both had an understanding of sentimentality, despite being Kiharas. Noukan had spoken with Kagun in the past, though he found him difficult to be around due to children interrupting their discussions and try to play with him, Kumokawa Maria in particular. However, Noukan did mention that he wished he knew him better. He later took over supervision of the adult network Kagun had built up to protect children after Kagun left Academy City.

Personality

 * Noukan - respect/care

World Rejecter Arc
The night after Noukan killed the High Priest and stopped the Arrowhead Comet, Yuiitsu cooked him dinner in her luxury apartment. She sat down to eat her dinner with him but had only just started on her salad when he had finished his. After being complimented on her cooking, Yuiitsu mentioned how he was having maintenance done to his weapon and how he had said it wasn't over yet, with Noukan mentioning how he was bothered by how the Magic Gods had suddenly vanished, considering it fishy.

Later that night, Yuiitsu found Noukan, severely beaten after his clash with Kamisato Kakeru and close to death. Breaking down in tears on seeing Noukan's mortal injuries, Yuiitsu tried to figure out a way to save her teacher. Unable to save him with the time and technology available to her, Yuiitsu took Noukan to a nearby facility, deciding to place him into cold sleep in the hope that he could somehow be saved in the future. As Yuiitsu prepared to put him in cold sleep, Noukan used his last chance to speak to her to encourage her to grow and surpass him, adding he had nothing more to teach her. Immediately afterwards, he lost consciousness as Yuiitsu activated the flash-freezing process. Having succeeded in preserving her teacher, Yuiitsu vowed that she would surpass him, go beyond 'Kihara' and become something truly 'unique', adding it would be the romantic thing to do.

Abilities
As with other Kiharas, Yuiitsu possesses considerable scientific knowledge and intellect. Her researcher's mind is capable of taking into account conditions, tool and possible methods, and calculating the values and steps in order to reach a goal, even when Yuiitsu herself is under immense distress.
 * Forensic and investigative capabilities
 * Making use of whatever can lay hands on.

Yuiitsu is also capable of cooking, preparing meals for herself and her teacher.


 * Using labcoat to divert blows.(15-5)


 * Biological laboratory
 * Attenuated St. Germain virus
 * Magic, MG imitation
 * Niang-Niang weapons
 * Prosperina pomegranates
 * Sample Shoggoth control
 * Investigative/forensic capabilities

Having infested herself with Sample Shoggoth, Yuiitsu was able to make use of its abilities to sew her wounds together and attack with its shape-shifting forms.(15-5)

Using a combination of Sample Shoggoth and an attenuated St. Germain virus (弱毒性サンジェルマンウィルス) she'd cultivated from a sample in her mobile laboratory, Yuiitsu was able to sew Kamisato Kakeru's severed hand onto her arm and rewrite her brain to trick its recognition so she would be recognized as the owner of the hand, allowing her to use World Rejecter, though she required the trigger phrase in order to do so. The combination also allowed her to produce imitations of the Magic Gods and their attacks as part of a bluff that she had the real ones at her disposal - Sample Shoggoth's shapeshifting abilities allowing her to produce fake models with their forms and the attenuated St. Germain virus allowing her to use magic, specifically relating to carbon and plants, and prepared in forms to aid the deception.
 * Finger weapons, Niang-Niang
 * Pomegranate seeds: One of the spells used by Yuiitsu as part of her deception involved pomegranate seeds, based on the legend of Persephone/Proserpina who was taken to the underworld and tricked into eating a pomegranate from there, binding her to the underworld and death. The seeds are fired as high-speed projectiles and leave masses of darkness the size of baseballs, which appear to bend the light from their surroundings, sucking it into towards the center.

After obtaining samples of the St. Germain virus, she was able to cultivate and attenuate it.

By combining her scientific knowledge with a knowledge of magic obtained with the St. Germain virus, Yuiitsu is capable of devising hybrid methods, such as the Elements.(5-1)

Anti-Art Attachment

 * Devoured Elements with Shoggoth and reconfigure.
 * Dog's head and 'Dog's life' written on surface of big chainsaw .(Image)
 * Can be destroyed by Imagine Breaker (even pair of special steel chainsaws have vulnerable sections).

During her battle with the Kamisato Faction below the Windowless Building, Yuiitsu constructed her own Anti-Art Attachment, devouring the remaining Elements to use as material for the unit. Yuiitsu used a different approach from Noukan, without any help from Aleister, and as such her Anti-Art Attachment isn't connected to Aleister and his power. As Yuiitsu doesn't fully understand the original, she is only reproducing its destructive power. Being constructed from Elements, Yuiitsu's A.A.A. shares some of their traits, such as their ability to blend in with the background and their vulnerability to Imagine Breaker.

Yuiitsu's A.A.A. has a cold yet streamlined and biological appearance, with large portions being translucent. Sharp, crystalline protrusions extending from her back, form a pair of giant wings, with other protrusions resembling eyeballs, claws and fangs. Two long, narrow boosters are positioned on the back of the unit and produce a red light when lit. It includes a variety of cannons, lasers, anti-air guns, launchers and armor parts, some of which equip to Yuiitsu's legs. One of its notable weapons is a giant anti-special steel chainsaw, with 'Dog's life' on its surface and a golden retriever head logo inscribed on its surface. The unit also has a variety of sensors and other features to assist in aiming and diverting impacts.

Aside from the unit's direct firepower, Yuiitsu also makes use of the heat and shockwaves from the weapons being fired (even without aiming), as well as the camouflage ability derived from the Elements, hiding behind the armor parts to disappear from sight. She also fires her weapons to restrict the movements of her opponents before bringing down the giant chainsaw.

Magic God Invasion Arc (Long TSP)
On December 3rd, Touma was assigned the role of a criminal in the Anti-Crime Orientation, needing to earn a load of points to avoid repeating a year. Not long after the event started, he encountered Aogami and Tsuchimikado, being pursued by Fukiyose and others. Escaping out of the window and up the school wall, Touma was pulled in through a fourth-floor window by Kumokawa Seria, narrowly avoiding a railgun up his rear end from Mikoto, who had come to his school to ask him about the events of the previous month and was shocked into anger by the pervert outfit he was wearing.

After being sheltered by Seria and preparing to escape elsewhere, Touma found a letter in his locker, from someone who said they were waiting on the rooftop. Mistaking it for a love letter, he was overjoyed at the achievement of getting one (to Mikoto and Seria's dismay) and ran off to the rooftop. When he got there, he was dismayed and shocked to find the High Priest, a Magic God of the True Gremlin waiting for him.

Once he had changed out of his roleplay outfit, Touma listened as the High Priest explained to him about the true Gremlin and what they sought. The High Priest offered him the chance of becoming Gremlin's scorer, helping to regulate the distortions caused by their power and give them peace of mind in exchange for them lending their power to fulfil his wishes. Recognizing the same circumstances as the happy world Othinus showed him and not wanting to turn the world into a twisted puppet show, Touma rejected the High Priest's offer. In response, the High Priest attempted to change his mind through force, swinging a giant arm of dirt into the school, though there wasn't a slaughter due to the event taking place. Tackling the High Priest off the roof, Touma commandeered an Acro Bike which Komoe had obtained for the event, intending to draw him away from the school. Running into Mikoto on his way out and with the High Priest coming after him, Touma took her with him.

World Rejecter Arc
When challenged by Kakeru, Touma proposed an alternative method; using Claire's ability to produce and inject Patricia with fat to replace the fats consumed by Sample Shoggoth and displace the parasite.

Kamisato Faction:
 * Similarities to the Kamijou Faction:
 * Unofficial group based around right-hand power wielding high school boy, made up of people from Magic, Science and Normal Sides, mostly female.
 * Similar light at times, not army but bound by good will.
 * Difference from the Kamijou Faction:
 * Kamisato more willing to use the girls, more coordinated, following rather than gathered on circumstance, core disruption (break formation if Kamisato in trouble).
 * However, unlike the Kamijou Faction, who are for the most part independent of Touma and living their own daily lives, the Kamisato Faction are quite dependent on Kamisato, following him, clinging to him and dragging him around with them.
 * Readily offering their power to aid Kamisato and following him into battle, they are also more coordinated than the Kamijou Faction usually are.
 * One of the main differences with Touma's faction that it is much more coordinated, and is willingly used by Kakeru himself.
 * Though Kamisato makes use of the girls and lets them drag him around, he believes that this gathering of girls, their behaviour towards him and their abnormal natures, shouldn't logically happen, especially to a normal high school boy. He believes that their actions are because the power he has been has twisted them. As such, he dislikes the World Rejecter and hates the Magic Gods whom he considers responsible.

 * Pessimism, categorises his kind of normal high school student as nothing without special power
 * Similarities to Kamijou Touma:
 * Both high school students (supposedly normal), both bear a power in their right hand formed from the collective wishes and desires of all magicians (Magic Gods in particular), both are familiar with Magic and Science sides, both have an official faction composed of members from both sides with a female majority

 * Does sometimes try to dissuade faction members but gives up and goes along with them
 * Doubt, no trust in others, pitiful definition, not trust in self, defensive line, insist nothing possibly real, afraid to accept

Kamisato has a firm and somewhat pessimistic view of himself as a 'normal high school boy', someone who he thinks is merely average or below in everything, not someone whom girl would look up to or fall in love with, and someone likely to be killed first on running into a supernatural incident, being nothing without special power. This view may have come about partly because of his doubt and lack of trust in himself and others.

Believing that his situation would not occur naturally or logically, especially to a 'normal high school boy' such as himself, Kamisato thinks that the girls which have gathered around him have been twisted by the power he has been given. As a result, he hates the World Rejecter and the Magic Gods whose wishes ended up creating it, enough to hunt them all down and wipe them out. Despite this, he willingly makes use of their abilities and continues to save girls with his right hand, as a form of revenge in his own way.

Kamisato has a tendency to view the world through his own ideas and assumptions of similarity or difference, imposing them on himself and his surroundings, and assuming to understand. When confronting an adversary, he tends to try to prepare beforehand and acts calm and aloof (and in the case of Kamijou Touma, initially somewhat overfamiliar) while explaining his views to them and imposing them. However, if his views and righteousness are challenged, he will lose this composure and angrily deny and spite his opponent.

Unlike Touma, who would try to seek a solution where everyone would be saved even when one doesn't seem possible at first glance, Kamisato tends not to look for another way and is more willing to give up and cut one off to save another. He is also more willing to inflict potentially lethal injuries. However the two are similar in their intolerance of inflicted injustice(?) and their tendency to fight to save girls they come across who are in trouble.

Kamisato has a habit of placing his hand to his neck and trying to crack it, though he is usually unable to do so unless he is angered. He also has respect for those he sees as strong, the kind without the conflicting desires that would make them a target for World Rejecter.

World Rejecter Arc (TSP)
Later that night, Kakeru approached Touma and Othinus as they were returning from the shops. Judging from Touma's response that he had made contact with Nephthys, Kakeru declared that he had business with the Magic Gods. The two were about to clash, but they were suddenly interrupted when two other beings, one red and one black, locked in battle, ran into them.
 * Ch2Pt1 expansion.

After Touma managed to escape from the clashing duo, Kakeru was able to neutralize them and took one of them away with him, identifying a girl under the black creature. Once he'd spoken to Ellen and sent her a sample of the black creature for analysis via drone, Kakeru removed the black substance covering the unconscious girl and learnt of her identity; Patricia Birdway. At the same time, Touma returned to the scene of the battle, wondering whether Kakeru was alright, and found Leivinia Birdway under the red dress.

Taking Patricia to the Kamisato Faction's safehouse, an apartment near to the Tsukuyomi Residence, Kakeru received a few small scratches from her after she woke up. When Ellen arrived, he blocked Sample Shoggoth's attempt at lashing out and had Patricia explain her situation, learning she was infested with a parasite which had consumed her body's fat and had her life in its grasp. Not long afterwards, Claire and Elza arrived. Kakeru made a few efforts to try to get the girls to focus on solving Patricia's problem, but ended up giving up and being dragged along with them, first to a public bathhouse and then to a restaurant after their dinner was botched. During this time, Patricia noticed hidden pain behind his expression.
 * Ch2Pt5-11 Expansion

After the others had apparently settled down for the night, Kakeru followed Patricia after she slipped away in order to search for her sister in School District 7. Revealing himself to her as she was tiring, he managed to drag the rest of Patricia's situation out of her, learning about her sister's plan to save her and that she would die in her stead if Patricia didn't stop her, and confronted her over her lack of a plan. Asking Patricia how she defined salvation, Kakeru explained to her about his World Rejecter, demonstrating it on a nearby wind turbine, and offered her the option of the 'salvation' it could provide. However, Patricia rejected his offer, knowing that it wouldn't save her sister. Reassuring Patricia, Kakeru eventually managed to persuade her to let him help her. Seeing them, Ellen, Elza and Claire also decided to help, together with the assembled Kamisato Faction.
 * Rejection/persuasion expansion.

Ambushing and incapacitating Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Kakeru and his faction set a trap for Touma in his apartment. After Touma was snared and dragged out by Claire's vines, having come to get some food from his neighbor, Kakeru approached him with an offer to talk after introducing Claire and Elza as well as describing their abilities.

Kakeru explained to Touma about his circumstances, how he had been normal until recently, had only acquired World Rejecter a few days ago, and had found himself the center of a harem of girls after saving them. He expressed his belief that his power was responsible and his disgust at the Magic Gods for apparently forcing it on him and twisting the girls' hearts, appealing to Touma, whom he thought was similar. However as Touma challenged Kakeru's viewpoint, he began to lose his composure and rejected what he was hearing. Eventually angered to the point of cracking his neck, he accused Touma of having being corrupted by the power given to him by the Magic Gods. Recognizing a clash was now inevitable, Kakeru left briefly with his faction, but before he went, he told Touma to check with Leivinia to see if she was hiding anything.

Not long afterwards, Kakeru and his faction began their attack on the Kamijou Residence. With help from Index, Touma made use of a distraction created from the use of Spell Intercept on Elza's coins in order to reach Kakeru. Tackling Kakeru, he intended to keep the Kamisato Faction's attention focused on them and disrupt their formation. As the fight proceeds down the stairway, Touma confronts him on forcing a clash between the sisters. Fighting back, Kakeru describes their intentions to deal with the immediate threat of Leivinia's fruit and deal with the non-immediate threat of Sample Shoggoth by figuring out ways to control the parasite or have Patricia hooked up to devices to feed nutrients into her bloodstream, despite the fact that Patricia would left in a state where she would only be alive in a medical sense. He then declared his admiration for Patricia's courage in facing her circumstances without giving up as his reason for standing by her.

As Touma challenged his idea of salvation and righteousness, as well as his decision to cut off one of the sisters rather than save both, driving Patricia to the edge and praising her to jump, Kakeru mocked him, claiming that there was no way for them to save both, accused him of hypocrisy and of being one that doesn't choose or take on burden and will thus lose everything. He was then stunned when Touma provided an alternative method which the rookie hadn't considered; using Claire's ability to inject replacement fat into Patricia's body to replace the ones she had lost and displace the parasite, allowing it to be safely dispatched without killing her.
 * Idiot, help.

Kakeru helped Touma reach the battling Birdway sisters, and watched as he and Claire put the plan into action. When Sample Shoggoth started lashing out and Touma was forced to protect Claire with the Imagine Breaker, killing it prematurely, Kakeru saw Nephthys sacrifice herself in order to save the dying Patricia. With Patricia's issue now dealt with, Kakeru turned his attention to Othinus, the only remaining Magic God, and once again asked Touma, if he didn't feel they had the right to take revenge for what the Magic Gods did to them. Touma replies that if he thought the Magic Gods were nothing but evil after seeing Nephthys's sacrifice then he is truly his enemy. (Feelings). Kakeru then faced Touma alone as the other girls stood back, wondering before they began what would result from his World Rejecter and the Imagine Breaker, the ultimate weapon and shield, clashing.

During the battle, Kakeru managed to overcome Imagine Breaker with the World Rejecter, however immediately after it was removed, he was heavily wounded by the other existence within Touma. Afterwards, he communicated with Ellen and spoke about what had happened. As the girl was in disbelief at Kakeru's implication, their link was cut off and Kakeru was confronted by Kihara Noukan, whom he identified as the city's grim reaper. Managing to swing his limp arm and erase some of Noukan's weapons, Kakeru described his realization that the incident with Patricia Birdway was engineered by Academy City as a trap for him, suspecting Sample Shoggoth to be a Dark Matter construct, and his anger at the masterminds.

Noukan opened fire on Kakeru with the Anti-Art Attachment's weapons but it proved ineffective as it was a valid target for the World Rejecter due to its connection to Aleister Crowley and his conflicting desires, its attacks neutralized and the components gradually erased. When Noukan was completely stripped off his weapons, Kakeru offered to spare him if he fled, together with the offer of a 'new world', but Noukan stood his ground, declaring that he would live and die in the current world following the path set by the original Kiharas and not be swayed by the salvation offered by the supernatural, leading Kakeru to remark that Noukan was strong, unlike the ones behind him. The ensuing battle left Noukan mortally wounded and he was placed into cold sleep by his student Kihara Yuiitsu in order to preserve his life.

Principles
Gods or deities are a type of entity present in various religions and mythologies across the world, usually the highest or among the highest class of beings.

The existence and stories of gods may arise from a variety of possible origins. They may be personifications of natural forces and phenomena, aspects of the world and other concepts, figures thought to rule over those aspects, and in some cases, certain individuals.

Due to the rise, spread, change and decline of various religions around the world, various gods from one religion or traits associated with them are often assimilated into other religions. In some cases, such as with the spread of Christianity, pagan gods of old may be reclassified and reduced to the role of fairies or demons.

Common concepts
In many religions and mythologies, gods possess immortality and often reside in domains separate from the rest of the world and the realms of mortals.

In certain religions, usually monotheistic, gods are said be absolute, possessing traits such as, and. Others, often polytheistic, have gods which are not absolute but still possess high levels of power. In many cases, they are attributed with having created the various aspects of the universe and play an important role in maintaining them.


 * Protect from evil

Relationship with humanity
Gods are the subject of worship by religion, and receive prayer, offerings and dedications from the followers of those religions, with shrines and temples often dedicated as places of worship for them. Gods are said to answer these prayers and offerings with aid, blessings and protection against evil. On the other hand, a fair number have little tolerance for disrespect or inadequate offerings.(Ch2Pt10)(Ch3Pt2) Such actions, along with sins and blasphemy, may earn a person divine punishment.

In most religions and mythologies, humankind cannot defeat gods, but instead they may attempt to negotiate with them through offerings, prayers and the like to overcome difficult situations and slightly alter their path to something closer to what is most convenient for them. There may also exist ways of pacifying evil gods.(13BTL1)

While gods may at times rampage and bring suffering to humans due to human actions or their own temperaments, they just as often carry out a role in bringing happiness to mankind, using their immense power to make the difference between the two known and bring about miracles.(Ch3Pt4)(Ch4Pt4)

Depending on people and circumstances, gods may be classed by humanity as good or evil, and some might even be classed as neither.(Ch4Pt4)(V13-Ch3Pt?)(13BTL1)

Other
There are many other religions which revolve around gods and similar beings; monotheistic, polytheistic or otherwise. Between these religions, certain similar systems share similar characteristics. In polytheistic religions, every god possesses a name and role which they are meant to carry out, and gathered together form the gears making up the system of their mythologies.

The symbolic attributes associated with the gods are often used in magic through Idol Theory,(V5-6) channeling spells in forms based on their legends, and sometimes bringing forth energy forms and magical constructs in their form.(V10-R4)

Aside from magic based off religion and mythology, there are a few other forms of magic, some of which are fairly recent, which make use of the concept of gods and very similar ideas. The cosmic horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos for instance, are considered by some as evil gods which no human can stand up against.

Despite most religions and mythologies holding that humans cannot defeat gods, there are forms of magic designed to fight some gods or at least pacify them. Ollerus's Fairy spell is one of them, based on Christianity's tendency to reduce pagan gods into fairies or demons, and meant for use against Magic Gods. Another is a technique of Aleister Crowley, who has an immense hatred for the Magic Gods as well as the God said to be the creator of the world and its rules. Used by Kihara Noukan through the Anti-Art Attachment, it channeled Aleister's willpower in a form capable of destroying a Magic God. Aleister also made use of a spell which severely weakened the true Gremlin, using the Magic Gods' base parameters and swapped out with their own spell. Kanzaki Kaori was able to make use of the aspect of Shinto involving the possibility of being able to harm gods, applied to fighting divine beings from another religion such as Christianity (though in this case, it was used against Archangel Gabriel rather than God), to a certain extent.

Background, Gremlin
Current: The Magic Gods of the true Gremlin had been living in a Hidden World, a phase separate from the rest of the outside world, and were content to remain that way. However they had concerns about distortions caused by their immense power and existence, which would influence the outside world, even if they didn't intend to. In order to address this, they wished to obtain a "scorer" who would direct them and their power and regulate the distortions, giving them piece of mind in exchange for having their wishes granted. The individual they intended to be their scorer was Kamijou Touma, bearer of the Imagine Breaker, a power born from the wishes of all magicians, with the Magic Gods being the largest influence.

However, the actions of Othinus and her interactions with Touma in November led them to have subconscious doubts regarding their chosen scorer. As Othinus was about to die in Denmark, the High Priest intervened to save her death, as it might have provoked a change in Touma undesirable to Gremlin. Their hidden world was then breached by Aleister Crowley who engaged them in battle, eventually retreating with a third of his body badly burned but obtaining the Magic Gods' base parameters.

Following the loss of their hidden world, Gremlin decided to take action themselves and using a spell devised by Zombie in order to enter the world without risking destroying it, the Magic Gods entered Academy City on December 1st. The incident in the Dianoid with St. Germain delayed them, but as they were about to make a move, they were contacted by Aleister, who swapped out Zombie's spell with his own spell calibrated from the parameters he'd obtained in the previous battle, greatly weakening them. A crucified Zombie was then launched into the Magic Gods' midst by Kihara Noukan.

On December 3rd, the High Priest personally made contact with Touma at his school during the Anti-Crime Orientation and offers him the position of Gremlin's scorer and their power via proxy. Recognizing similar circumstances to the 'happy world' Othinus had subjected him to and not wanting the world to become a twisted puppet show, Touma rejected the High Priest's offer, leading the Magic God to try and change his mind through destruction. Commandeering an acrobike, Touma fled his school to draw the High Priest away, ending up taking Misaka Mikoto with it. The destructive chase through Academy City eventually concluded in School District 23, where the High Priest was launched into space with a silo-type mass driver. He managed to seize control of the Arrowhead Comet and set it on a collision course with the city. However he was killed by Kihara Noukan, using Aleister's willpower channeled through the Anti-Art Attachment, and the comet destroyed in mid-air, the explosion shattering all the glass in Academy City.

After the High Priest's death, Niang-Niang attempted to destroy the city to eliminate the threat to them but was suddenly attacked and exiled by Kamisato Kakeru, a boy with a special right hand, World Rejecter. The other Magic Gods met a similar fate and only Nephthys was able to escape being completely exiled, due to her separated organs. Mailing herself to Touma, Nephthys sought his help, pointing out that Othinus was also going to be in trouble.

Key Points:
 * The Magic Gods coming to have doubts in their chosen candidate to be their 'scorer', due to the actions of Othinus and his interactions with her. Subconscious wishes
 * Death of High Priest and destruction of the Arrowhead Comet, explosion breaks all the glass in Academy City.
 * The Magic Gods being suddenly attacked and exiled by Kamisato Kakeru with only Nepthys escaping and seeking Touma's help, with Othinus also going to be in trouble.

Transition Points:
 * Intervention to save Othinus and descent after hidden realm compromised. Greatly weakened by Aleister after delay due to St. Germain.
 * High Priest approaching Touma directly, destructive chase through Academy City after refused, shot into space and hijacked comet before being killed by Noukan, retaliatory strike.

Revision (NT13 Part): The Magic Gods of the true Gremlin had been living in a Hidden World, a phase separate from the rest of the outside world, and were content to remain that way. However they had concerns about distortions caused by their immense power and existence, which would influence the outside world, even if they didn't intend to. In order to address this, they wished to obtain a "scorer" who would direct them and their power and regulate the distortions, giving them piece of mind in exchange for having their wishes granted. The individual they intended to be their scorer was Kamijou Touma, bearer of the Imagine Breaker, a power born from the wishes of all magicians, with the Magic Gods being the largest influence.

After intervening to prevent Othinus's death and a possible undesirable change in Touma, Gremlin's hidden world was breached by Aleister Crowley who engaged them in battle, eventually retreating with a third of his body badly burned but obtaining the Magic Gods' base parameters. Following the loss of their hidden world, Gremlin decided to take action themselves and using a spell devised by Zombie in order to enter the world without risking destroying it, the Magic Gods entered Academy City on December 1st. The incident in the Dianoid with St. Germain delayed them, but as they were about to make a move, they were contacted by Aleister, who swapped out Zombie's spell with his own spell calibrated from the parameters he'd obtained in the previous battle, greatly weakening them. A crucified Zombie was then launched into the Magic Gods' midst by Kihara Noukan.

Kihara Noukan
Around the time of Touma's expedition to the shops, Noukan was having dinner with Yuiitsu, but was troubled by a feeling of unease. After a short post-dinner nap, around the time the two boys were dealing with the two girls, Noukan took a night-time walk to a convenience store to buy some more cigars and had a conversation with the shopkeeper.

Rework: Later that night, Noukan had dinner with Yuiitsu, complimenting and devouring her cooking, but was troubled by a feeling of unease. As he was settling down for a short post-dinner nap, he mentioned to Yuiitsu how he was bothered about how the Magic Gods suddenly vanished but didn't mention his feeling of unease, something beyond logic, which a pure Kihara would probably not understand.

Taking a night-time walk to a convenience store to buy some more cigars, Noukan had a conversation with the shopkeeper, checking if anything had been picked up by the observation network Kagun had created, talking about Kagun himself and discussing how Noukan himself had changed. As Noukan was about to leave, the shopkeeper told him that there would be a place with them if he ever grew tired of being a Kihara. After leaving, Noukan looked at the shining moon again, considering it an ill omen.

Noukan later picked up the overhauled Anti-Art Attachment from a hangar in School District 7, complimenting the quick work and discussing his thoughts on the intruder with Aleister. As Noukan asked about what had happened to the plan, Aleister said that he would deal with it somehow before saying sorry to Noukan. Understanding what Aleister was implying, Noukan said he would struggle on in his own way and knowing they might not speak again, told Aleister he wouldn't stop him from trying to improve humanity but asked him not to abandon his humanity in the process.

Aftermath
Meanwhile, Aleister's plan is finally back on track, however Aleister himself truly curses it for the first time, realizing that what he was doing was little different from what the Magic Gods he hated did.

Rework: Noukan confronted Kamisato Kakeru after his last battle with Kamijou Touma left him wounded. Noukan used all of the weapons in the Anti-Art Attachment's arsenal, but due to its connection to Aleister and his conflicting desires, they were erased by World Rejecter. As this was happening, Noukan wondered whether Aleister knew it would happen and set up the rails while accepting his own flaws to reach the conclusion which benefited him most, realizing that it was to create the "opposing axis", that Aleister had finally recovered and the plan was back on track. Eventually stripped of all of his weapons, Noukan was asked by Kakeru if he wished for a new world, but replied with his resolve to follow the path of the original Kiharas and live and die in the current world, before continuing to fight.

Noukan put up a powerful resistance, but was beaten to near-death and left with life-threatening injuries. Yuiitsu found the mortally injured Noukan afterwards, breaking down in tears while trying to figure out a way to save her teacher. Unable to save him with the time and technology available to her, Yuiitsu carried Noukan to a nearby facility, deciding to place Noukan into cold sleep in the hope that he could somehow be saved in the future. Proud of her of having made the decision and knowing this would likely be the last time he could speak to her, Noukan suppressed what he wanted to tell her and focused on what would allow his student to grow. Urging Yuiitsu to surpass him and go beyond 'Kihara', Noukan told Yuiitsu he had nothing more to teach her. Immediately afterwards, he lost consciousness as Yuiitsu activated the flash-freezing process.

Following the battle between Kihara Noukan and Kamisato Kakeru, in which the conflict in Aleister's heart allowed World Rejecter to erase the Anti-Art Attachment and Noukan was left fatally injured and placed into cold sleep by Kihara Yuiitsu, Aleister's plan is back on track but Aleister himself truly curses it for the first time, realizing this was little different from what the Magic Gods he hated did.

Aleister Crowley

 * Does he wholeheartedly wish for an entirely perfect plan? (Ep-Noukan)
 * Cursed perfect plan as similar to what Magic Gods do (Ep-Aleister) after plan back on track.
 * Aleister has conflicting desires in his heart, wavering, can’t focus on a single path, World Rejecter target. Set up rails while accepting weaknesses/flaws to reach beneficial conclusion. "Opposing axis" and Noukan opening act - recovery.

Personality
Despite setting up his plan to be a perfect one...

Aleister has conflicting desires in his heart, not focusing on a single path, which makes him and his power a valid target for World Rejecter.

World Rejecter Arc
Aleister overhauled the Anti-Art Attachment for Noukan's battle with Kamisato Kakeru, but implied that Noukan wouldn't be able to win with it during his conversation with him, apologizing as he did so. Knowing it could be the last time they speak, Noukan asked Aleister not to abandon his humanity (despite...).

Following the battle between Kihara Noukan and Kamisato Kakeru, after which Kihara Yuiitsu placed the dying Noukan into cryogenic suspension, Aleister's plan was back on track but Aleister himself cursed his plan for the first time, realizing it was little different from what the Magic Gods he hated did.

Appearance

 * Organs missing.

Personality

 * Likes AC
 * Looks down on humans (yet admires? a certain aspect)
 * Condemnation

Although Nephthys tends to look down on humans, she does claim to like and be jealous of the passions and movements of the human heart, giving humanity's dream and efforts towards reaching the stars as an example.

Nephthys is a goddess who objects to legends of death which are treated as necessary sacrifices in Egyptian mythology, once weeping and reducing an entire magical faction to ash as they were about to ritually sacrifice a girl in an experiment to prove heaven existed. With her origins as the "crying woman", Nephthys is susceptible to being moved to tears and crying with someone, even from watching an awful drama for less than a minute.

Background
Nephthys's background and origins are largely unclear, as stories and materials concerning her are extremely rare, other than the story of the "weeping goddess" at Osiris's funeral. Even with that story, and one theory that she was artificially created to emphasize it, no one knows anymore if it was truly Nephthys, not even Nephthys herself. However, her divinity is said to have originated from the "crying woman" paid to attend funerals in ancient Egypt, in this case in particular, the thousands of servants buried alive in a pyramid for a pharaoh's burial,  to ensure the king had no trouble in the afterlife. For these buried servants, the end often took its time coming.

In one particular pyramid, in an unknown time and place, as the buried servants were waiting for the end, someone thought that they didn't want their life to have been wasted, and together with the hundreds or thousands of others, collected the pieces of knowledge they had and the papyrus materials buried with the pharaoh for his resurrection together. After it was gathered together, Nephthys was born, surrounded by countless corpses - whether they were the original form which created her or the shell of the egg, not even she knew for sure.

At some point, Nephthys appeared to a man who was weeping at his faction's imminent ritual sacrifice of a girl in an experiment to prove the existence of heaven and his inability to say it was wrong, wishing for someone to stand with him as he lamented. Nephthys told him that his voice had reached her and that she'd also weep with him. Immediately afterwards, she gave a shrill cry that reduced the magical faction to ash in an instant.

At another time, Nephthys observed as Aleister Crowley entered Egypt, like many other European magicians who had reached a dead end and sought out new material to make a breakthrough, and laughed as he incorporated the names of Isis, Osiris and Horus into his concept of Aeons.

After arriving at Touma's apartment, Nephthys explained about Kamisato Kakeru and the World Rejecter, as well as what had happened to the Magic Gods, to Touma, Index and Othinus. Greatly weakened to the point of not being able to support her upper body, she remained sprawled out on the kotatsu during the conversation. With the fridge empty, Nephthys remained at the dormitory with Index while Touma went out to buy ingredients for dinner.

When Touma and Othinus returned with Leivinia Birdway following a run-in with Kamisato Kakeru, the two Magic Gods gave Touma a lecture on European magicians and the Dark Continent while Index carried out an analysis, before Leivinia woke up and explained the situation regarding her and her sister, who had been infested with the parasite Sample Shoggoth. While the group were faced with the threat of an attack, the Birdways' situation and the lack of food, Nephthys fiddled with the TV remote, accidentally bringing up an advert for fried chicken before Touma could warn her. She also ended up crying as they watched an awful drama that was on.

As the Kamisato Faction began their attack on the dormitory, Nephthys went with Index. Not long afterwards, when Sample Shoggoth was eliminated prematurely during Touma and Claire's attempt to save Patricia, Nephthys decided to take action, reckoning that as a god she was not supposed to hope for miracles but cause them. Knowing that Touma would have difficulty accepting her death, Nephthys asked Index to tell him that she was already dead anyway, before flying towards the dying Patricia as a sandstorm. Converting her entire body into replacement fat for the girl, Nephthys sacrificed herself to save Patricia.

Abilities

 * Reconstruct as body matter, animal fats, no risk of rejection. Cease to exist as Nephthys if all converted.
 * Conscious separation?

Majin
A Majin (魔神) or Magic God is a being who has mastered magic to the extent of being able to bend all things in the world through magic, transcending normal magic and stepping into the realm of God.


 * Major revision, remove misconceptions
 * Multiple
 * Note link to death

Etymology
The term Majin can be translated /read in several ways /meanings, including 'Magic God' and 'Demon God'. As described by Silvia, in this case 'Majin' doesn't refer to a god of the demon world but to one who has mastered magic to the extent of transcending normal magic and stepping into the realm of god, a Magic God.

Principles

 * Differing paths/methods/formats (S-V12)
 * Levels/Thresholds
 * Personality/Background, common
 * Classification different from humans, Immortality
 * Gremlin (True)
 * Toaru-V1,SS2
 * Shinyaku-V4,5,8,9,10,12,13,14

Impact
Due to the immense power held by Magic Gods, they comprise the majority of the Magic Side's power despite being a numerical minority compared to the rest of the world's magicians. As a result, their dreams and desires, both conscious and unconscious, have a much larger effect in the creation of powers born from the dreams and wishes of the world's magicians, such as Imagine Breaker and World Rejecter.

(Distortions from any actions)

Slight concern over this problem was the reason why Gremlin wished to obtain a scorer in order to help regulate the distortions and give them peace of mind.

Weaknesses
Weaknesses: Fairy spell, Imagine Breaker/World Rejecter crystals, Others, Too powerful
 * Though extremely powerful, Magic Gods are not absolute - there are ways to defeat them other than through another Magic God.
 * The Fairy spell spell devised by Ollerus for use against Othinus, based on Christianity's tendency to reduce pagan gods into fairies and demons, is capable of threatening a Magic God's life, is capable of reducing Magic Gods in a similar way, severely damaging them in the process. After being impaled with the stake Ollerus lost his Magic God powers and was left weaker than a normal magician, and in the case of Othinus, although she was at first able to use it to unify her possibilities in a negative direction, after the loss of Gungnir, the internal destruction proceeded to threaten her life.
 * Aleister Crowley possesses techniques that allow him to channel his willpower, one full of hate for the Magic Gods, into a strange form which is capable of killing them. Using the Anti-Art Attachment, Kihara Noukan was also capable of delivering Aleister's willpower. After obtaining their base parameters and defeating Zombie, he was able to weaken them by switching out Zombie's spell they were using to enter the world safely and implanting one of his own to significantly weaken them.
 * Due to their nature, Magic Gods are extremely vulnerable to World Rejecter.

Basic
A Majin (魔神) or Magic God is a Magic side term used to refer to a being who has mastered magic, can bend all things in the world without exception through magic, something that transcends normal magic and steps into the realm of God, a Magic God.

Encompassing every possibility, a Majin is capable of distorting the world to their whim. However due to encompassing every possibility, both positive and negative, Majins initially have an equal chance of success and failure with their magic. Impure or failed Majins who've stopped their growth before this point lack this problem but don't have the power that a pure Majin would have. Once these possibilities are united in one direction however, a Majin can freely change the world and everything in it as they please with their power.

Being in a position with the title of god, those possessing the qualities of a Majin, such as Othinus and Ollerus, are unaffected by certain spells which would affect humans, such as the Einherjar spell, while certain other spells, such as the "Turn into a fairy" spell, are specifically designed to target them. In the case of Othinus, a pure and perfect Majin, they have also been shown to possess lifespans far beyond that of humans.

Due to the rise, spread, change and decline of various religions around the world, various gods from one religion or traits associated with them are often assimilated into other religions. In some cases, such as with the spread of Christianity, pagan gods of old may be reclassified and reduced to the role of fairies or demons.

Gods are the subject of worship by religion, and receive prayer, offerings and dedications from the followers of those religions. In most religions and mythologies, humankind cannot defeat gods, but instead they may attempt to negotiate with them through offerings, prayers and the like to overcome difficult situations and slightly alter their path to something closer to what is most convenient for them.

Progressing down to the path of Magic to the extent of becoming a perfect Majin, or Magic God, appears to allow one to acquire a certain form of immortality. Othinus is believed to have lived for thousands of years and while in a perfect state, was able to withstand and recover from most injuries. Even weakened by Aleister's spell, the High Priest displayed similar invulnerability during his rampage through Academy City.

Though immortals cannot normally be killed through ordinary means, there are some special means which are specifically meant to kill immortals.

The spell that Aleister Crowley inserted into the High Priest, Nephthys and Niang-Niang is implied to be capable of bringing them to their deaths, and Kihara Noukan, using the Anti-Art Attachment connected to Aleister and delivering his willpower, was later able to kill the High Priest.

Lifespan extending over thousands of years, able to withstand and recover from most injuries in perfected state.

Impact
According to Silvia, the power of a Majin is even more troublesome than a great number of grimoires. With such an interesting prospect, many magic organizations, seek and fear the Majin.

Though the Magic Gods of Gremlin are not interested in humanity and the outside world, being interested in living happily hidden by themselves, they have a slight concern about the distortions caused by their existence. Regardless of whether they peacefully talk or exchange blows over issues and clashes of opinion, or do nothing at all, their actions can unintentionally influence the outside world and bend the rails of destiny. They are also areas where even they are unsure what to do.

In order to address this slight concern and give themselves a piece of mind, Gremlin wished to obtain a "scorer" (採点者) - someone who would give them a singular set of values and definite directional focus. The scorer would negotiate with them and give them answers from the perspective of one in the outside world, allowing them to score and regulate their power and the distortions it creates. In exchange for giving them piece of mind, they would grant their scorer's wishes and prayers, allowing the scorer to indirectly mimic being a Magic God and influence the world.

The High Priest likened the idea of a scorer to that of security software giving them a 'no threats found' message, a tool that a god uses to judge if their actions are right, similar to Mimir's Head or the Scales of Anubis, a sheath to hold the sword of the Magic God's power, or a seventh path and category separate from the Six Paths.

The individual whom Gremlin intended to be their scorer was Kamijou Touma, bearer of the Imagine Breaker.

50/50
Being a Majin is akin to being the purest, most perfect existence that encompasses every possibility. However, because of this, the Majin can also control both positive and negative possibilities. In essence, the Majin has an equal chance of attaining the possibility of succeeding as well as failing, making everything relating to the Majin's magic a 50/50 shot. This comes from the principle of the, which asks "if an omnipotent being can do anything, can it deny itself?"; i.e: could an omnipotent being create a rock it can't lift?

LV6 Comparison
Moreover, this state in which a Majin steps into a realm of God, is compared to the Science Side's Level 6 by Kamijou Touma, a comparison that is not wholly farfetched as Level 6 requires a person to attain a body that can allow the person to understand the will of the heavens.

Failed Majin
There is also the possibility of being an impure Majin, meaning that the magician seeking to become a Majin stops his growth right when he should have become one. Because of that, the impure Majin's overall powers are weaker, but there is no 50/50 restriction like a pure Majin.

Trivia

 * Many of the Magic Gods who have appeared within the series and their mythological equivalents have links to death and to sacrifice or loss.
 * Othinus sacrificed her right eye and hung herself from a tree to obtain power of a Magic God. She is capable of raising the dead as Einherjars.
 * The High Priest sacrificed his life through self-mummification, becoming a Magic God rather than an enlightened Buddha due to sabotage, and is linked to the dirt of the earth in which he starved.
 * Nephthys was born from a group of servants who were buried together with a pharaoh in his tomb and perished. Her mythological counterpart was associated with funerary rites and mourning for Osiris, whom the late pharaoh represented.
 * Niang-Niang is described as a . Described in the, a Shijie-Xian is one who has attained a low form of immortality by faking their death by substituting an enchanted object for their corpse, cutting their ties with family and moving far away, as well as performing a rite to protect themselves from heavenly retribution, allowing them to live out their entire allotted lifespan (minus an amount for misdeeds they've committed) while avoiding agents of death.
 * Zombie
 * Chimera
 * In Celtic Mythology, Nuada lost his left arm and position, regaining it after obtaining a silver prosthetic as a replacement, hence his epithet Airgetlám (meaning silver hand/arm).
 * In Aztec Mythology, Tezcatlipoca lost his leg while helping form the first world and brought death to several generations of humanity in bringing about the destruction of several iterations of the world.(associated with death)
 * Proserpina's name is that of the goddess of the underworld in Roman Mythology.

Methods and Research
Progressing down to the path of Magic to the extent of becoming a perfect Majin, or Magic God, appears to allow one to acquire a certain form of immortality. Othinus is believed to have lived for thousands of years and while in a perfect state, was able to withstand and recover from most injuries. Even weakened by Aleister's spell, the High Priest displayed similar invulnerability during his rampage through Academy City.

Methods of killing immortals
Though immortals cannot normally be killed through ordinary means, there are some special means which are specifically meant to kill immortals. The Fairy spell designed by Ollerus uses Christianity's tendency to reduce pagan gods into fairies to reduce a Majin in a similar way, severely damaging them in the process. In the case of Othinus, after the loss of Gungnir, the internal destruction proceeded to threaten her life. The spell that Aleister Crowley inserted into the High Priest, Nephthys and Niang-Niang is implied to be capable of bringing them to their deaths, and Kihara Noukan, using the Anti-Art Attachment connected to Aleister and delivering his willpower, was later able to kill the High Priest. -->
 * Othinus
 * Majin
 * Lifespan extending over thousands of years, able to withstand and recover from most injuries in perfected state.

Phase

 * Wavelength analogy (with regards to Heaven and Hell, effects), simultaneous presence at same location.

Principles
The meanings represented by the cards change depending on several factors, such as the type of spread being used, the positions of the cards in the spread, their positions in relation to another, and the orientation of the cards, either upright or reversed.

Major Arcana
In the standard Golden-style Tarot, the Major Arcana tells the story of the Son of God, from birth to execution and resurrection, in order to draw on a portion of his power. Connected to the 22 paths on the Sephirot tree, they are meant to acquire a technique of entering the realm of god with a human body, miracles which can be explained by Christianity.

In the Thoth Tarot used by Aleister Crowley, the meaning behind the Major Arcana is different although based on the same tree. It instead starts at the birth of Christianity and follows it through to its destruction at Armageddon, and to the new Aeon arriving afterwards. In this version, the Hanged Man's meaning is different and Judgement is replaced with The Aeon. Instead of arriving at the realm of god, it is aimed at destroying the 'closed ceiling' of god's territory and bringing humanity to the next stage above it.

Suit of Swords
The Suit of Swords represents yellow, the wind, flow and change. It is symbolized by a "yellow dagger" (黄色の短剣).

Suit of Cups
The Suit of Cups represents blue, water, emotions, the back, women and the moon.
 * Cup: Leivinia can change the weapon into a cup in order to use water magic. Also representing one of the suits in the minor arcana of tarot, Leivinia can summon a wall of swirling water that stretches upward. Once it reaches a set height, it stretches out in an even disk, which can look like an umbrella or a tree. There, it then shoots out water daggers that fall in every direction around Leivinia.

Suit of Wands
The Suit of Wands represents red, fire, intellect and will.
 * Wand: It is the initial form of her symbolic weapon. Spinning the wand once allows for flames to be shot out along a path, which will then grow into a giant wall of fire. It was in this form, as well as having a pocket watch coiled around it that allowed Leivinia to defeat Cendrillon using fire to represent dawn.

Suit of Coins
The Suit of Coins represents green, earth and material aspects.
 * Disc: Leivinia can presumably change her weapon into a disc, as she was able to summon a stone pillar from the ground, as well as stone daggers, an attack where she blend a real knife into, in order to catch her opponent off guard.

NT13

 * Forum thread: NT13 Plans
 * Tweak initial paragraph
 * Not permitted to add stuff from NT13 while translation in progress, but OK to plan here for when it is.
 * A bit annoying if you plan and work on a load of stuff and the effort turns out to have been for naught. Also a bit inefficient and a bit inconsiderate. Let know if interested/intend to work on subjects so others know and can plan accordingly.
 * Good to plan ahead so less hassle later - fewer errors, less purple, less conflict, less reworking necessary

Setting
This article describes the details of the setting in which Toaru Majutsu no Index and other stories in the Toaru series take place, that of an alternate Earth in the early 21st century (with more than a few differences).

 * Technology (AC)
 * Others? (Demographics excluded)

Order:

Supernatural Powers
One of the most distinctive aspects of the Toaru universe is the existence of supernatural powers and abilities. These include both Esper abilities, derived from Personal Reality and associated with the Science Side, and Magic, derived from refined life-force as mana or other energies channeled into forms often based on religions, mythologies and folklore. There are also certain other powers which fall between or outside these two categories.
 * Magic/Espers/Natural energies

Politics

 * A few differences from real world, some enmities remain which have faded in real world (e.g. England and France)(China/India, G14, Pound Economy )
 * Many of the larger factions in the Magic and Science Sides exert an influence on the governments of the Normal Side from behind the scenes

There are a few differences with regards to politics. The G14 has been established though its exact nature is currently unknown. There are also a few past enmities which have remained instead of fading, such as that between England and France.
 * Ties between countries different in some cases?

Aside from regular governments, there are also the factions which make up the Magic and Science Sides. The main factions in the Science Side are Academy City and its cooperative institutions, while the Magic Side's main factions are the magical organizations within the major churchs, such as the Anglican Church's Necessarius, and various magic cabals. Many of these larger factions in the Magic and Science Sides exert an influence on the governments of the Normal Side from behind the scenes.
 * Examples: RCC isolating the UK and ROC pushing for war, Pound Economy, cabals, AC
 * Examples of this can be seen in the United Kingdom's Pound Economy, European governments siding with the Roman Catholic Church and isolating the UK, the Russian Orthodox Church moving Russia into war against Academy City.

One of the most important aspects of this hidden side to the world is the treaty between Magic and Science, an agreement which prevents the two sides from using the other's techniques and interfering with the others' affairs.
 * Actions despite this, obligation to stop those who violate the treaty from their own side, cold war.
 * They are also obliged to stop anyone who attempts to violate the treaty from their own side.(V2Pr?)

Technology
Though the general level of technology in the world is somewhat similar to the early 21st century, there has been a significant technological leap within Academy City, said to be around 30 years ahead of the rest of the world (Ref) and constantly progressing.(S-V4)
 * Centralized on Academy City, only letting outdated technology out (ref).
 * Advances in outside world?

Buddhism

 * Self-mummification (Sokushinbutsu)
 * Six Paths (Principles expansion)

The Six Paths
Another key concept of Buddhism is the Six Paths (Rikudou?), the idea that all forms of life (human, animal, preta, deva, asura etc) are continually reborn throughout the six realms (Deva, Asura, Human, Animal, Preta and Naraka) as they strive to reach enlightenment. The only escape from this cycle is for one to achieve perfect enlightenment and buddhahood.
 * The cycle applies for anyone, even a priest in temple, holy man who nearly mastered path, wears heavenly rainment, flies through sky.
 * Physical soul or metaphor? (High Priest)
 * No path allowed for Magic Gods, not in different existing categories divided, didn't rise to position through the normal means, gates of Pure Land or heaven won't open for them. A seventh path not contained by the six already existing (what High Priest wants?).

Egyptian Mythology

 * Organ removal
 * Servant burial
 * Scales of Anubis

Chinese

 * Origin unclear
 * Sages in novel

Principles
The group is a reconciliation council that was created in order to avoid a struggle over resources between the Magic Gods, all of whom have the power to change the world as they desire but have only one world between them and are all capable of destroying the world, intentionally or not.

Scorer
Though the Magic Gods of Gremlin are not interested in humanity and the outside world, being interested in living happily hidden by themselves, they have a slight concern about the distortions caused by their existence. Regardless of whether they peacefully talk or exchange blows over issues and clashes of opinion, or do nothing at all, their actions can unintentionally influence the outside world and bend the rails of destiny. They are also areas where even they are unsure what to do.

In order to address this slight concern and give themselves a piece of mind, Gremlin wished to obtain a "scorer" - someone who would give them a singular set of values and definite directional focus. The scorer would negotiate with them and gives them answers from the perspective of one in the outside world, allowing them to score and regulate their power and the distortions it creates. In exchange for giving Gremlin piece of mind, they would grant their wishes and prayers, allowing them to indirectly mimic being a Magic God and influence the world.

The High Priest likened the idea of a scorer to that of security software giving them a 'no threats found' message, a tool that a god uses to judge if their actions are right, similar to Mimir's Head or the Scales of Anubis, a sheath to hold the sword of the Magic God's power, or a seventh path or category separate from the Six Paths.

The individual whom Gremlin intended to be their scorer was Kamijou Touma.

Background
At some point in the past, Aleister Crowley had the opportunity to become a Magic God and a member of Gremlin but choose to remain human instead. The High Priest was involved in the death of his daughter.

High Priest
Current second paragraph on the article for cleaning and reworking:

The most active magic god that descended the world after Aleister Crowley challenged them, he is the first magic god to negotiate with Touma for (on!) the other gods' behalf. After Touma rejects his offer, he becomes the relentless antagonist of the Magic God Invasion Arc, wanting to do battle with him (change). Despite all of Touma's efforts the High Priest proves his power by surviving all of his efforts to defeat him. Only after Kihara Noukan's intervention is he defeated and finally killed.

Personality

 * Type that loses interest in something once they attain it.(Ch3Pt18)
 * Twisted belief (from sabotage) in saving the people (Ch3Pt13.
 * Jovial/Arrogant

Background
In the past, as a follower of the Japanese variety of Buddhism, the High Priest subjected himself to self-mummification, starving himself so his human form would transcend the six paths, becoming a Buddha in just one generation, in hopes of saving all people. However a faction opposed to him becoming a Buddha sabotaged his attempt and twisted as a result, he became a Magic God instead.

Abilities
Being a Magic God, the High Priest is powerful enough to risk destroying the world with her mere presence unless precautionary measures are taken. Even weakened by Aleister's spell, the High Priest is still capable of destroying the world, and invulnerable to most harm.

As a result of his self-mummification, the High Priest has a connection to dirt, formed as what seeped from his corpse as he dried filled the underground space where he sealed himself and starved to death. This connection is linked to the Shinto aspect of dirt being unclean and connected to the underworld being mixed into the Japanese variety of Buddhism that the High Priest followed. The High Priest uses his connection and control over dirt to create giants hands of mud, capable of crushing, uprooting and throwing entire buildings, sense where someone is if they are in contact with the ground, remove dirt from underground to cause city-wide collapse, and seize control of objects such as the Arrowhead Comet by manipulating the dirt/dust incorporated into them.
 * Dirt manipulation
 * Seep from corpse as dried, filled surroundings/connected space that starved to death
 * Shinto viewing dirt as unclean/connected to the underworld (not many view dirt as unclean, all around world many think heavenly gods in sky and sinners below earth)(Archetype/God note)
 * Shinto/Buddhism mix/contamination
 * Sensing (Ch3Pt9)
 * Foundation collapse (Ch4Pt1)
 * Comet (Ch4Pt9)

Quotes

 * (To Aleister in the Hidden World) “It’s a complete failure, young one. You’re going to be at your wits’ end before long.” (ありゃあ完全な失敗作じゃよ、若造. じきにお主も頭を抱える事になるじゃろうがな)

Chronology, Magic God Invasion Arc
During the High Priest's rampage through Academy City in pursuit of Kamijou Touma, Niang-Niang and Nephthys approached Touma as he and Misaka Mikoto temporarily stopped on a workship. After testing to see if Imagine Breaker could return them to their full power, without success and Niang-Niang turning her Pao-Pei on Mikoto in annoyance, the two offer their assistance to help stop the rampaging High Priest. Though Touma rejects their direct involvement, he and Mikoto reluctantly accept their offer of advice and the two Magic Gods give Touma an explanation regarding the nature of the High Priest before leaving.

After the Arrowhead Comet's destruction and the High Priest's death, Niang-Niang, shocked at something being able to kill a Magic God, intended to wipe out Academy City in order to destroy it. Before she could do so, she was devoured and 'exiled' by Kamisato Kakeru's World Rejector.

Abilities
Niang-Niang is capable of changing her fingertips into weapons, known as Pao-Pei (宝貝(パオペイ).

St. Germain
St. Germain (サンジェルマン) is a legendary figure, said to have appeared at various points in history throughout medieval Europe's high society and claimed to be among other things, an immortal, a time traveler, and a technician capable of repairing broken jewels. Most of the legends associated with St. Germain are rather dubious ones, and as such much of it is considered by many to be false.

In the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index, the legends of St. Germain are fake, but at some point they may have been given "life" by Magicians who used existing legends and Magic to make them real. First introduced in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, the concept of St. Germain is (later) shown to be a collective identity, similar to the Misaka Network, apparently spread through the ingestion of pills that carry microbes allowing an individual to be part of the collective of people who believe themselves to be the magician known as St. Germain.

Appearance
Being a collective identity, the appearance of the individuals who call themselves St. Germain differs, however they all share similar attires. Common elements in their attires include tailcoats, monocles and top (silk) hats, appearing overall as something similar to the outfit of a or something out of a costume shop.

The St. Germain who was used to manipulate Kanou Shinka is a college-age woman with long (waist-length), wavy blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin. She resembles an older Frenda Seivelun, a resemblance that was likely intentionally made to use Kanou. She wears a golden, wing-shaped monocle on her left eye and wears a tailcoat resembling a stage magician's bunny suit and jacket combination.

Personality
First and foremost, St. Germain is a liar, though he wouldn't admit it. He is quite willing to spread an infinite number of falsehoods and deceive anyone he can manipulate in pursuit of his goal. St. Germain has little regard for the people he manipulates and is quite happy to lead them to their deaths or subject them to cruelty if that will achieve what he wants. He also holds no reservations about twisting and trampling on the truth in order to support his lies. St. Germain holds himself in high regard and apart from others, denouncing those who denounce him as delusional and foolish, even arrogantly claiming that he himself is an entire third category apart from Magician and Magic God.

Though St. Germain may claim otherwise, many of his actions are not logical and contradict themselves. St. Germain may present them in a way that makes them seem like part of a grand plan, but there is actually no plan at all - St. Germain simply can't keep up one thing for too long and will make up new goals on the spot, overwriting his memories and thought processes, and fabricating his morality afterwards to cover the lie and continue his act. As a result of this continual overwriting and pilling up lies to both others and himself, St. Germain's mind is an inconsistent mess with little that can truly be called its own.

Background
Given the dubious nature of St. Germain and the lies that accompany him, much of his background is uncertain and the subject of speculation.

St. Germain is said to have been a mysterious noble who appeared throughout medieval Europe's history over multiple regions and across multiple time periods. Among other things, he is said to have acquired a secret technique of immortality, not aging and eating nothing but water, wheat and pills. It is also said, from the strange and irregular frequency of his appearances and records of him possessing knowledge he should have had no way of knowing, that he had a method of travelling through time. He is also said to be capable of perfectly repairing scratched diamonds, a skill prized by nobles, and said to have wrote a grimoire owned by Cagliostro. In the legends and records associated with him, nothing is truly known of St. Germain, with no accurate records of birth or death, no claims of descent, no reliable graves and no record of defeat.

However in reality, St. Germain was originally nothing more than a name, and associated with a rare sort of con man. In those times, it wasn't uncommon for someone to just assume a famous name in order to infiltrate nobles' parties. The identity of St. Germain however was built from the ground up, using deceptions such as lies of places never visited, forged and delayed letters, and false appraisals, to support the various claims that were made, and was used as a sort of free pass to attend formal events or acquire investments.

Though the identity of St. Germain was originally nothing by a name and a free pass with no credibility, at some point someone gave it "life", using existing legends and Magic to see if they could make it real and then stimulating the small core they had created within the sea of knowledge to create a real crystal. Whether this was done out of fascination or to disguise something else isn't known, but the identity of St. Germain that was given life survived, using the alluring spread of legend to pass between those involved and those seeking to be witnesses, synchronizing and infecting their minds with St. Germain's ideology and organizing them into a single crystal.

The identity and the legend of St. Germain have continued to spread since then, becoming famous enough to leak from the Magic Side to normal society, and according to Othinus, if one were to ask a random magician to name ten famous people, St. Germain's name would come up along side Rosenkreuz and Mathers. St. Germain has even persisted when the world has been altered from changing the phases.

Chronology, Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, St. Germain Arc
On December 1st, St. Germain occupied Academy City's Dianoid, sealing it off from the rest of the city, in order to target Kamijou Touma and Kanou Shinka with the claimed intention of pitting the latter against the former and having him die in the process, bringing about a change that would mess with the complicated plans made by the Magic Gods in which Kamijou Touma was a key piece.

Abilities

 * The nature of St. Germain
 * Control file, parallel non-brainwave network
 * Pills containing microbes, taken to stabilize unsteady or new members
 * Virus-like

Being the type of being he is, St. Germain is also skilled at deception and manipulation, capable of putting on acts and telling lies in order to trick others into doing what he wants? (Too much credit?)


 * Ch2Pt17:
 * All control towers/terminals, no central unit, loss of one meaningless
 * Spread of legend, organizes people involved into a crystal, synchronizes and infects minds
 * Ch3Pt2:
 * No central unit, all parallel
 * Purest diamond only 99.9% pure, twenty different types of impurities in gap, change properties of diamond (conductivity, coloration, transparency, not centre/nucleus but controller), St. Germain controls self as carbon-based organic matter, giant crystal from synching group, controller/settings file
 * Ch3Pt15:
 * Synchronised/Parallelised crystal, parallel processing non-brainwave network can expand into anyone else regarding of genetic code
 * Ch4Pt4:
 * Looks like acting trance used to overwrite contents, views self as carbon forming diamond, purify existence while creating stable crystal
 * (Group contacting dead leaving out doubtful, reason)
 * Same uniform, same foods, same location/date/time, create small world cut off from outside, creating group dyed in unique colours - way of bending common knowledge of small isolated society, single drop of ink into sea quickly diluted but different in single cup of water
 * Completing rituals, cabal magiciansm techniques of instantly filling selves with appropriate thoughts, twisting own beliefs/principles in only few days like turning dials to match summoning phenomena/entity, time/date, star positions etc, purify own beings so can synchronise/parallelise, unwell ‘resuscitation’ technique used to quickly remove
 * St Germain's legend has this tendency, unfathomable, appears in parties of nobles cut off from normal society, use understanding of hopes/desires to dye self in their colours, make use of them (immortality, time travel, knowledge etc as lures), positions reverse and dyes them in his colours, no leading roles/minor roles/actors/audience, like matter drawn to nucleus of crystal not different from nucleus - single crystal known as St. Germain
 * Ch4Pt6:
 * Method uses carbon, black pills in pill case, ties into legend
 * Microbe dried by thousands, dried - life functions mostly stopped and remain alive for years
 * When absorbed by liquid (saliva), resume functioning and invade body of one who ingested them
 * 0.1% impurity in 99.9% pure crystal
 * Not nucleus/terminal, outsider, like with coloured diamonds functions as controller to rearrange properties of crystal (Last Order/Fremea might come to mind)
 * If all of them repeatedly spreading like ever-growing crystal always need pills, restricted. Impurity less than 0.1%, took much causes defect, most unstable part.
 * New, weary, worked loose member, lost control, settings file to stabilize errors, microbes trigger

St. Germain's form is that of a collective identity, held between multiple members of a synchronized and parallel network, with a structure similar to that of a pure diamond. Similar to how the nucleus of the crystal and the materials around it are identical, there are no central units in this network, with all members acting as control towers and terminals. As such, it can continue functioning even with the loss of a member.

The crystal that is St. Germain expands by infecting others with St. Germain's thoughts and ideology, synchronizing them and making them part of the crystalline network.

The crystallization infects and alters the victim's personalities through an acting trance. It operates in a similar manner to the way in which ritual magicians purify their thoughts and synchronize themselves (wearing the same uniform, eating the same foods, going to the same place at the same time etc) in order to dye themselves in the same colours and achieve the optimum result when they carry out their ritual. The legend of St. Germain has the same tendency, with St. Germain appearing in gatherings of nobles cut-off from normal society and using his understanding to dye himself in their colours before making use of them, exploiting their desires and curiosity, leading to their positions reversing and them becoming dyed in his colours instead. Those who are involved and those who seek to be involved with St. Germain are gathered, drawn in by curiosity or desire, and gradually dyed in St. Germain's colours to the extent that they become part of the crystal.

Eventually the positions would be reversed and the victims are instead dyed in St. Germain's colours to the extent that they become part of the crystal.

The network doesn't utilize brainwaves and can expand into anyone regardless of their genetic code.

Much like how even the purest diamond is only 99.9% pure, with the remaining 0.1% impurities determining the diamond's overall properties, the giant crystal and parallel network that is St. Germain has an equivalent controller or settings file. In this case, it comes in the form of the black pills that St. Germain carries around with him, as mentioned in his legend. These pills are comprised of microbes, dried by the thousands and while dry, mostly inert but capable of remaining alive for years. When the microbes are absorbed by liquid, such as saliva, they resume functioning and invade the body of the person who has ingested them. They are used in order to stabilize errors, such as with new or weary members, or members who have been worked loose from the crystal and lost control, preventing unwanted impurities from building up, causing defects in the crystalline structure and leading it to collapse.

Chambord
The Chambord (シャンボール) is a spiritual item which is used by St. Germain to manipulate carbon. It takes the form of spear in the shape of a, with the words 'St. Germain' engraved on it. Named after the site of his former laboratory, it provides the tools St. Germain needs to pursue his research themes. Derived and developed from the legend of St. Germain being able to repair scratched diamonds, the Chambord can manipulate carbon-based materials, such as diamonds, melting them down and forming them into new shapes, such as spears, walls, and even more Chambords. In carbon-rich environments such as the Dianoid, which is almost entirely constructed from carbon-based materials, St. Germain is capable of skewering his opponent with spears from all directions. The Chambord is also fairly durable, capable of withstanding and catching a shot from Mugino Shizuri's Meltdowner.

As organic matter is also comprised of carbon, the Chambord is also capable of manipulating it. Aside from the microbes that allow St. Germain to spread and opening up holes in people to allow the spears to pass through them to the target, St. Germain uses this aspect of the Chambord to create beasts made up of plant cells. Unlike normal plant cells which provide all necessary life functions but lack mobility, these plant cells are divided between different functions and reunified to stimulate optimization. The beasts created from this plant matter are stronger than ones of animal matter, given the cell wall that the plant cells have as opposed to an animal cell's membrane. These incomplete beasts can incorporate St.Germains into their structure and can also split into different smaller creatures. Some of them are also capable of producing and emitting carbon monoxide.

Character Art Designs
According to Haimura Kiyotaka, he thought his initial designs for the gentleman type and lady type St. Germains were too plain, and so for the second version, designed them to look like they had put together a magician costume from the party section of, making them really look like scam artists. He also gave the Chambord a treble clef motif. The common theme for the outfits is kept for the several variations of St. Germain, with the Chambord being kept small enough to be held in one hand.

Toaru Nichijou no Index-san

 * とある日常のいんでっくすさん
 * Toaru Nichijou no Index-san Manga Volume 03 (verify release date/ISBN/contents)

Ch1

 * Index's Daily Life : Alone in Touma's apartment, Index is happily helping herself to a pudding. She then notices something written on the side - 'Do Not Eat'.


 * I'll make him pay : Index thinks to herself about how Touma is always going off and leaving her alone. Annoyed, Index decides to make him pay when he gets back. At that moment, Touma returns and Index greets him with a smile.

Such misfortune, (つい乙ないんだよ?, Tsui otsu nai nda yo, ): As Index welcomes Touma back, she notices he's hurt. Touma says its just a scratch but reveals something which concerns Index even more - he wasn't able to get any ingredients for dinner.


 * The original intent is important : After biting Touma, Index complains that he's changed, saying that he used to prepare delicious food when they met. She tells him to remember the time when they met, to which Touma asks why she's talking like they are a couple. Index then assumes the position she was in on the railings when they met, saying that he shouldn't forget the original intent.


 * Perfect Memory : In response to Index's complaints of hunger, Touma decides to go to the convenience store. Index asks if she can come along but Touma says he's going alone to her disappointment. Index says that if she goes they won't forget anything because of her perfect memory.


 * Moment of Doubt : At the store, Index can't decide between Omusoba and Omuyashi. Touma picks the Omuyashi and says he'll share the Omusoba with her. Index then asks if he'll forgive her if she eats it all.


 * Exactly the same! (もつくり!?): Index brings Touma a yakisoba-pan, the same food from when they first met. Thinking that it wasn't quite the same as the one then, Index steps on it.


 * For testing purposes (ためしに, Tameshi ni): As Touma thinks about his ever-decreasing funds, he wonders if Index is actually a goddess of poverty and touches her forehead to see if his Imagine Breaker can dispel it.

Imagine Breaker (イマジンブレイカー): With Index full and content, Touma remembers the pudding he had left in the fridge and looks for it. Index chooses this moment to confess, saying that Touma thought he'd put it in the fridge but she'd dispelled that thought with her spoon, to his annoyance.

Ch2

 * The Usual Index-san : Index greets Maika, lively as usual, trying to escape from the cleaning robots as usual


 * It's a Good Plan : After being saved (killing time at Touma isn't home) Index tells Maika she's going out to buy a replacement pudding, Maika supposes Touma worked hard to buy it but Index was impatient and ate it, Index praises her supposition with a smile


 * Kanzaki Kaori's Daily Life : While walking about Kanzaki spots Index, watching from behind a corner Kanzaki wonders what she's doing walking round when she's a target, thinks about how adorable she looks as always while Kuroko and Uiharu whisper to each other behind her


 * Trial : Wondering where she is going, Kanzaki thinks it might be a chance to get along with her again, tries to approach but Index starts talking to Maika, Maika gets a chill from Kanzaki's stare


 * Fair Exchange : Maika asks where Index intends to buy it from and asks how she plans to pay for it, Index holds up Sphinx (and it salutes - OK with it?)


 * Trial 2 : Seeing Index's problem Kanzaki plans to offer her purse, as she goes to offer it Maika offers to pay and have Touma pay her back later, Kanzaki curls up upset


 * Trial 3 : As Index asks Maika how to enter the bakery's door (automatic), Kanzaki seizes a chance and uses Nanansen to cut down the door, Maika in shock while Index and Kanzaki pleased (awesome/alright)


 * I did my best : Seeing Index walk away with her pudding, Kanzaki prepares to get going pleased at having done her part, thinking of Stiyl when he pops up behind her asking what she's doing there


 * Like Attracts Like : Kanzaki asks what he's doing, he says he's on an important job as always, taking care of Index (same), decides to buy same pudding (good idea)


 * Chew on happiness, Touma : Touma returns, Index gives him the replacement pudding, his happiness disappears when he learns Maika will be charging him for it.

Ch3

 * Misaka Mikoto's Daily Life : Mikoto reading magazine for no reason, horoscopes section, thinking about only love fortunes, stupid and untrue but ends up buying it anyway


 * Preemptive Attack : Thinking about what to do with it, bumps into Index, thinking she's the little girl following Touma around but before she can say it Index calls her the short-haired girl following Touma around (rude)


 * That Idiot: Tells Index to stop calling her by a weird nickname, saying it's bad enough with that idiot, Index asks if it is OK to call someone "that idiot", Mikoto protests that it isn't what she meant


 * Index-san's Fortune for Today: Mikoto treats Index to a meal in exchange for not telling Touma what they talked about earlier, Index comments her food fortune is good today


 * A Lady's Shyness : Index supposes Mikoto doesn't want anyone knowing about the book behind her back, Mikoto says it's a book on horoscopes but says about how she shouldn't say seeing as it's embarrassing/maiden in love stuff, Index is reading regardless and not paying attention


 * A Fantasy for Good Luck : Index enthusiastic, going on about astrology and lucky charms, Mikoto thinks about Touma's reaction if he knew she was doing lucky charms, Out-loud reaction to fantasy


 * Index-san's Fantasy : Index doing a lucky charm, tells Mikoto they can't talking while doing it, Index thinking about wanting to say stuff to Touma but her thoughts drift towards today's meal


 * Any Place, Any Time : Mikoto lets Index keep the book since she likes it, says she doesn't know what Kuroko would do if she saw her with it, startled to find that Kuroko has sat down next to her


 * I Understand It : Mikoto asks Kuroko how she knew how she was there (scent), Index gets it (not), says book was unnecessary and is rooting for them, the two are confused, Index thinks the two are going out


 * No And No : Mikoto protests and tries to tell Index she's made a mistake, Index says about same-gender relationships being accepted in England and she isn't prejudiced against them (Virgin Mary), Mikoto asks Kuroko for help but she's not listening either (partners)

Principles
According to the Index Librorum Prohibitorum the common twenty-four characters are used to indicate mysteries and secrets (Rune means "secret") have been used as a magic language by Germanic tribes since the 2nd century and are found in the roots of Old English.

There is not just one type of runes. Just like most languages, they have changed day by day depending on the era or the location. The standard number of runes, which make up the basic Futhark, is 24, but some sets use 16 and some places use 33. For example, the United Kingdom has a 33 character style.

The trick to runes is that a single rune can have many different meanings. These different meanings can be drawn out in various situations, with an individual rune or a combination of runes, in order to form different bases and cast different spells. Different types of runes also produce different effects, and if a new derived branch of runes with a distinctive deviation is discovered, such as the ones found on the Alaskan Epitaph, it can potentially(?) enable a new set of spells to be used.
 * Different types of runes give different effects.
 * Undiscovered derived branch of runes from Alaska, few records mention them, distinctive deviation - previously unusable magic enabled, new set of spells different from normal rune magic as effects change depending on type.

Various mediums can be used to create and use runes; as well as being carved or written in ink or chalk on surfaces or paper, they can also be formed using ice crystals, water and blood. Vitamin B2 sprays and industrial laser carvings have also been used, although these methods have been deemed to violate the treaty between Magic and Science.

Multiple copies of a rune can be used in order to bolster the power and effects of a runic spell, however proper runes are said to hold the greatest power when the most suitable letter is used for the location and situation, so in clashes between runic magic, quantity doesn't necessarily(?) hold an edge over quality.

Because runes are written characters, if one can read them, they can figure out the meanings being drawn out and thus the effects of the spell they are being used for. Additionally, if they can affect the rune itself, they can interfere with the runic magic or end it by destroying the rune. > Fragments:
 * Odin (origin), According to legend, the head Norse god Odin obtained knowledge of the runes by hanging himself from Yggdrasil for nine days.
 * Alaskan runes, Fragment of the Rune Epitaph, Dvergr
 * Runic tablets/monuments (KanzakiSSCh2/3)(StiylPt2)
 * More than one style/branch of runes, number of characters differ (StiylSS)
 * Quality over quantity, quantity increase power but proper runes hold greatest power when most suitable letter to location and situation used (Odin), not random and with numbers can't crush natural enemy not compatible with
 * Few different processes for rune magic
 * Decide what effects wanted
 * Chose most suitable rune(s) for it
 * Chose location to best draw out effects
 * Carve runes
 * Offer prayer to gods ruling over each rune or magic used
 * Check on effects
 * Destroy carved runes to end effects.
 * If one can read the runes, they can figure out the effects.

When a magician uses rune magic, they tend to follow a common series of steps; first, they decide what effects they want, then chose the most suitable runes for it and the location best suited to draw out the effects. They then carve the runes and initiate the magic, sometimes offering a prayer to the gods ruling over the runes used, before checking on the effects. Once finished, they would then end the effects by destroying the carved runes.

Final Rune
Among the various forms of magical knowledge that the Norse god Odin acquired through sacrifices and ceremonies, the most famous are the means of using 18 varieties of runes. Most of these have clear effects like stopping the movement of a flying arrow or checking if a cup has poison in it, however there is one which no one save Odin is said to know the purpose of or the method of using. The Final Rune, though known only to Odin, is based on runes which can be used by humans and gods alike, so if one could learn how, they would be able to use it and the magic which became the source of Odin's power. The rune is necessary in completing and empowering Gungnir.

The Final Rune is similar to other runes in that it is composed of a set of straight lines. However, though it is a single rune, it produces an effect similar to a grimoire, which is made up of a few hundred pages filled with characters. A glance at a sample on a small wooden board used as reference material caused mental contamination near the level of an original grimoire and the true completed one would definitely be on that level, enough to shatter the mind on being seen. .

The Final Rune is not something which is carved onto a person or object to raise one's abilities, nor is it something which is seen visually. Instead, it is carved onto the world itself in order to greatly change it. It is intended to be carved onto the core of the planet; being unable to find a way to interfere with this area is partly why the Norse people considered it only usable by Odin himself. Even if someone was able to carve the rune meant for Odin, it would take weeks for them to finish and even automatic writing spiritual items would take days. According to Brunhild Eiktobel, who was carving the rune using a remote automatic writing method derived from the Cape of Good Hope and several other places, creating regularity in the flow of the liquid outer core to carve it on the solid inner core like a river wearing away at the earth, the straight lines making up the rune weren't too difficult but the dying of the grooves was very complex.

Once the rune is complete, it will blend into its surroundings, making it impossible for anyone to find it, even for expert magicians. Furthermore, the completed rune would be virtually impossible to destroy, being on the level of a pure original grimoire. The completed Final Rune would rearrange the world so that all of its spiritual and magical powers would be gathered in the spear of Gungnir, granting the wielder an inexhaustible supply of power.

Aside from interfering with the carving method, it is possible to destroy the Final Rune before its completion by destroying Gungnir, which it is linked to.


 * (Carved in the Earth's core, link to Gungnir, contamination of level of Original Grimoire)
 * Only Odin can/should know how to write and its effects. Not to be carved on Gungnir to bring it into world. Where to carve to have greatest effect, not known as effects not known. Automatic writing (few hours), made up of straight lines like others but dying of grooves in carved rune very complex, much more complex than Brunhild thought, sample (referenced material for auto-write) written on small wooden board in dark red blood, in palm of hand.
 * Mental contamination on the level of an Original grimoire (few hundred pages) with just one rune (magical value), purity of Original shatter mind just by being seen, similar to making instability over computer system by forcibly running a program meant for a different operating system, mediation breathing method to mentally distance from pain.
 * Final Rune not something put onto object or person to raise abilities. Carved onto the world itself to greatly change it, carved on single spot on the world (Gungnir itself technically not all that strong), rearrange things so all spiritual/magical powers in world gathered in the spear, not something seen visually.
 * Norse not religion that takes over like Christianity, permeates culture until everyone know about it despite not knowing when/where they heard, Final Rune similar in that it blends into scenery once complete (not until complete does it become impossible to find), not even expert mage would be able to find it or destroy it, rune only few centimeters big but could be anywhere, rivals original grimoire (not destroyed by human techniques), inexhaustible supply of power once complete. Only Odin supposed to be able to carve, normally weeks for human, even automatic writing item takes days.
 * Cannot stop if can't even find where carved, carved into core of planet, changes state of planet when carved into planet, no more suitable place than centre/core, only usable by Odin not because rune was extremely complex but Norse people of time couldn't find a way to interfere with area it needed to be carved in.
 * Interfering with core, creating regularity of flow of liquid outer core of molten iron/nickel to carve on solid inner core like river wearing away earth, flow created by magnetic field, calculating back from leaking magnetic force, magical assistance essential. Confirmed no rejection from scientific parameters.
 * Complete control over Earth's weather.
 * Carving in core but device on surface (same method as Cape of Good Hope, other aspects put together). Rough copy on board rival Original, real one definitely pure Original.
 * Break Gungnir before completion, link with rune destroys it before completion.

Rune Epitaphs
Rune data is often preserved on stone monuments, which are usually erected out in the middle of plains or on hills in Scandinavian countries, such as Denmark, Finland and Sweden. These carelessly erected monuments include what could be called the world's most generally neglected grimoires. Due to being exposed in the middle of plains, they are daily worn away by acid rain and natural processes. This isn't a problem with Original-level grimoires which cannot be completely destroyed and will naturally restore themselves over time, however other monuments without magical protection will be worn away and their runes lost. As the originals are the ones seen as having true magical value, the others are generally left unprotected.

Most rune slates are from the plains of Scandinavia, though there are exceptions, such as the epitaph found in Alaska and the stones on Uphill Island.


 * Slates primarily from plains of Scandinavia.
 * Undiscovered derived branch of runes from Alaska, few records mention them, distinctive deviation - previously unusable magic enabled, new set of spells different from normal rune magic as effects change depending on type.
 * Rune data careless erected in places like Sweden, world's most generally neglected grimoires.
 * No matter how hard normal person works, never able to reach stone monument with Original-level epitaph holding great power, how made.
 * Epitaphs neglected out in middle of plains, daily worn away by effects e.g. acid rain, original won't disappear naturally (restore), if epitaph of Alaskan runes, odd for small stone still be broken off and not restored.
 * Fragment holds key, magically affected so restoration speed slowed or function spinning wheels fruitlessly - intentionally sealed instead of absolute destruction, most important piece - maintenance and release of seal rely on stone, to put together original, indicate new set, decoding data within Index.


 * Stone monuments built out in open on hills/plains, many valuable resources lost in last 20 years due to concentrated acid rain.
 * Original class with true magical value not lost due to acid rain, others neglected.
 * Basic Futhark only 24 characters, secondary runes derived said to be nothing more than literary additions developed later to make texts easier to read, treated as having no occult value, Leasic considers them still valuable even if not usable for magic and not something to be lost, magical runes protected on own by power as Originals, fine even in 1000 years even if ignored, literary runes don't have advantage and at risk.

Residual information
Residual information is information about people, objects and other things which remains even after they are gone. Certain types of Magic make use of residual information.

Principles
Necromancy and other forms of Magic related to the dead make use of residual information concerning deceased individuals. The GREMLIN magician Hel is capable of extracting residual information about deaths which have occurred in an area, in order to use the "cause of death".
 * Hel, Xochitl, Arnold Mackenzie, GREMLIN attack near Saipan
 * Estelle Rosenthal, Ghosts, Hitokawa Hasami

By acquiring residual information, it is possible to replicate the subject of information to a certain extent. In the case of destroyed spiritual items and such, such as with the destruction of the Pound Economy's spiritual foundation, this can be used to aid in reconstruction.

It is possible to destroy residual information and prevent it from being acquired.

Principles
Five Over OS (Outsider) (ファイブオーバーOS(アウトサイダー))

Modelcase_"MENTAL_OUT"
ファイブオーバー モデルケース・メンタルアウト (Five Over Modelcase Mental Out)

Mitsuari Ayu
Mitsuari Ayu (蜜蟻愛愉) is an antagonist who appears in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index. A Level 3 esper with the ability Mental Stinger, she bears an immense grudge against Shokuhou Misaki, who was chosen over her to be developed to Level 5 and was saved by Kamijou Touma when she wasn't.

Etymology
Her family name, Mitsuari (蜜蟻), means.

Appearance
Mitsuari Ayu has long, wavy, chocolate-colored hair, apparently as fluffy as cotton candy. She has smaller breasts than Shokuhou Misaki but apparently has more beautiful legs than her, more than just long and slender. She wears a special, dark suit, resembling a racing swimsuit, with similar gloves and boots.

Personality
Due to being not being saved by Touma due to Shokuhou Misaki, who was saved by him and was also chosen over her to become a Level 5, Mitsuagi bears an immense grudge against Shokuhou Misaki, to the extent that she wishes to steal the happy memories that Shokuhou has of him for her and her alone.

Background
In the past, Mitsuari Ayu and Shokuhou Misaki were found by Tree Diagram to both have the possibility of reaching Level 5, possessing abilities with a near identical basic theory and scope, though they would plateau at Level 3 under standard curriculum. The higher-ups decided to prune one and focus on developing the other. Following the Parameter List, they chose to focus on Shokuhou Misaki, with Mitsuari Ayu being kept as a back-up in the event of her death.

A year before the current year of the Story Timeline, Mitsuari Ayu had encountered Kamijou Touma. At that time, her circumstances had driven her to consider suicide. When she was about to go through with it, she sent a message to Touma, hoping that he would save her. However due to bumping into Shokuhou Misaki at an intersection, Touma lost his phone and as such was unable to reach her in time. Though her suicide attempt at Ground Geo failed, Mitsuari was drawn into Academy City's dark side and came to resent Misaki not just for stealing her chance to become Level 5, but also for being saved when she wasn't.

Chronology
In order to carry out her revenge, Mitsuari used the Five Over OS to camouflage the Ground Geo power station in order to make Shokuhou suspect that her memories had been tampered with and use her own ability to change them. To support this, she altered the files about the station and secretly had a Strobila imbedded in Shokuhou's neck, without data and meant to reinforce her doubt.

After Shokuhou discovered that the geothermal station was different from her memories and doubting them, moved to find out who was responsible, Mitsuari started to make her move as well. Following the removal of the Strobila, Mitsuari had several of her subordinates approach Shokuhou disguised as Emergency Aid workers to replace it under the guise of treatment for instability.

When this plan failed and Shokuhou discovered that the whole geothermal station had been covered by camouflaging dust, Mitsuari, in Ground Geo's monitoring station and wearing the Outsider suit, decided to take action. After contacting her subordinates and confirming that the Five Overs were going to be ready, Mitsuari turned to Shokuhou on the monitor, telling 'Miss Bee' that she stole her so it was time she was punished.

Using the cover of the camouflage, Mitsuari approached Shokuhou, who realized that her enemy had arrived and took out her remote. After first appearing to her with a generated image, Mitsuari confronted Shokuhou from behind. Seeing the huge mass in front of her in a Tokiwadai uniform, Shokuhou questioned if she was really in middle school, to which Mitsuari responded that she could ask the same. When Shokuhou attempted to use her ability on her, Mitsuagi told her that it won't work and that she wouldn't have shown herself if she thought it would.

Mitsuagi then began her attack, turning Shokuhou's arm black with the dust and setting a swarm of hornets on her, but a member of Shokuhou's clique incinerates them with a mass of flames. After marking her location with the magnetically-controlled monitor, Mitsuagi wondered where the other hidden pawns are, recalling that Shokuhou can only accurately control up to fourteen people at once and threatening to cut off her arms and legs, leaving just her brain that can't crawl. After Shokuhou made another failed attempt to control her, Mitsuagi had the dust create the image of a swarm of insects crawling up her feet towards her neck, describing the primitive fear that can't be avoided even if one knows that something isn't real. She then had a giant eyeball appear on her flesh and freeze Shokuhou with fear, comparing it to Medusa of Greek mythology. As Shokuhou doubled over, she had another clique member create an electric discharge, disrupting the monitor dust temporarily. Marking the second one, Mitsuagi asked how many more there were, saying that she could crush them as long as she knew where they were and adding that Shokuhou couldn't stand to see one of her pawns die despite arrogantly controlling people. Seeing her reaction, Mitsuagi wondered if the look on her face meant that she had ordered them all to withdraw, which saved her the trouble.

Wondering who her enemy was, being familiar with her past and powers and being able to outdo her in psychological warfare to such an extent, Shokuhou asked her if she had some connection to her, to which Mitsuagi replied that she did as otherwise she'd have no reason to resent her and when Shokuhou said that she'd never met her, said that if she had met her, she wouldn't have been able to resist killing her then. On being told she was insane, Mitsuagi laughed and asked who can prove that people like them who readily manipulated people's minds still had sounds minds of their own. As Shokuhou faced her, Mitsuagi began to alter the surroundings again, but to her surprise Shokuhou started to throw her remotes at her face. As Mitsuagi covered her face, Shokuhou got closer to her and grabbed at her neck, pulling out a Strobila embedded in it. Thinking that she'd removed Mitsuagi's means of resistance, Shokuhou used her ability again and Mitsuagi pretended to have fallen under her control.

Unable to gather her enemy's thoughts, Shokuhou asked Mitsuagi several questions with her remote. Mitsuagi told her that she was the only one giving orders, working alone but controlling useful assets to give the illusion of an organization and using the Five Over OS to control them, as well as explaining what it was. She then told Shokuhou that she was doing this for revenge and to punish her for stealing 'her'. Shokuhou asked her who she was and Mitsuagi claimed, to her shock, that she was Shokuhou Misaki.

Under the impression that her foe was under control and could not lie, Shokuhou questioned her further and started to wonder what was going on, but as she was floating in doubt Mitsuagi caught her with one of the Five Over's tentacles, laughing that she had told her that her ability wouldn't work. After the Five Over OS unit split off from her, she appeared in front of Shokuhou looking exactly like her, before having her face melt away. As Shokuhou cried out, asking who she was, Mitsuagi asked if she still didn't know, revealing her true appearance to her. Though Shokuhou didn't recognize her, she sensed that Mitsuagi was similar to her, which she confirmed, telling her that her ability was Mental Stinger, stuck at Level 3 but originally meant to reach Level 5. She then asked if Shokuhou had heard about the Parameter List, the document determining who to focus on and who to discard, introducing herself to her as the ant who could not become the bee, the other fruit cut from the branch to let Shokuhou grow.

Abilities
Mitsuari's Level 3 ability is Mental Stinger (<rb>心理穿孔</rb><rp> (</rp><rt>メンタルスティンガー</rt><rp>) </rp>), which operates in a similar way to Mental Out. Originally thought to manipulate the brain by controlling bioelectricity, it actually does this by manipulating moisture, controlling the distribution of fluids and the secretion of chemicals in the target's brain. Instead of directly controlling bioelectricity, it changes the conductive efficiency by controlling the fluid acting as a catalyst for it to flow through - as such, the ability doesn't work on espers that directly manipulate their bioelectricity such as Electromasters, though it is speculated that this can be overcome with an increased output. Abilities of a similar nature are also capable of resisting it. Similar to Shokuhou Misaki's use of remotes for Mental Out, Mitsuari Ayu sets targets for Mental Stinger with cameras and her fingertips.

Under certain circumstances such as extreme anger, the ability can go out of control and cause an explosive phenomenon similar to freeze-drying that creates a territory that can cause any living being within it to crumble like dried paper mache.

Equipment
Five Over OS (Outsider) - Modelcase Mental Out (ファイブオーバーOS(アウトサイダー)): Like other Five Overs, this is meant to reproduce a Level 5's power with pure technology, though the OS (Outsider) indicates that it exists outside the mainstream method, using methods different from a Level 5's power to produce the phenomenon resembling it. In this case, magnetically controlled monitor dust is distributed across an area and used to alter the appearance of the target's surroundings, using that twisted information to influence their mental state and memories. The device is still a prototype and has plenty of problems remaining, hence why it hasn't been mass-produced.

The base unit is a spherical device, taller than a person, with tentacles extending from its bottom half, resembling an artificial octopus. It is constructed from an artificial fat called Designer's Gel which is capable of changing shape. It has numerous large eyeballs on its surface, which roll and blink, perhaps due to the magnetically controlled monitor. '''Five_Over (Out_Sider). Modelcase_“MENTAL_OUT”.''' is written on the side of its tentacle. The Outsider can also take the shape of a large wearable suit, forming a body that should weigh around 300kg were it real.

The magnetically-controlled monitor (磁性制御モニター) that is used by the Outsider primarily consists of colored powdered dust, which is scattered throughout the target area and controlled via magnetism. It is capable of changing in real-time, altering the surroundings around the target to influence them. An example of this would be producing images of insects to induce revulsion and fear, or an eyeball with a gaze that paralyzes those that see it, much like Medusa in Greek Mythology. It is even capable of creating sound by rubbing together like cricket wings. However this system requiring a network of multiple viewpoints other than that of the user to perfectly overwrite the surrounding area in real time, which can be used by an enemy to manipulate the Outsider by feeding it with malicious information.

Five Over Modelcase Mental Out (ファイブオーバー モデルケース・メンタルアウト): Mitsuari's trump card against Shokuhou, a machine which is supposed to recreate and surpass Mental Out using technology. However this particular machine doesn't strictly fit the definition of Five Over as it doesn't contain anything to reproduce an esper ability using technology, instead containing 8000 output devices, with the intention to have Shokuhou Misaki placed inside and her power drawn out forcefully, in order to acquire the sample data to complete and mass-produce it, as well as to crush Shokuhou's mind with her own power. Resembling a scorpion wasp, its main body is 4m long with six legs and thin wings 8m long when extended. Its abdomen is translucent and filled with anesthetic conducting fluid, meant to contain a human body. It can be programmed to act automatically.

Strobila (ストロビラ): A device intended to manipulating the mind without interfering with the brain. It is consists of a very small plastic core with a long fiber that leads to the subject's heart and affects the secretion of hormones. Strobilas were installed in Shokuhou and Mitsuari's Outsider body as decoys.

Design evolution
Mitsuari Ayu's character design is basically the rejected initial design for Shokuhou Misaki, with a few changes to her expressions due to her psychotic 'yandere' tendencies. According to Haimura Kiyotaka, rejected designs are normally locked away however the story in this case was written using the concept of an unfortunate girl who could not become Shokuhou, allowing that rejected design to be made into a character.

 * Background

The conflict of the arc is rooted in the similarities between Shokuhou Misaki and Mitsuari Ayu, both having similar powers and both having similar memories with Touma. In accordance with Parameter List, Misaki was given focus and development for her powers while Ayu was kept as a mere back-up in the event of her death.

Ayu had already met Touma prior to him meeting Misaki. Due to the circumstances surrounding development, Ayu falls into despair and considered suicide. When she was about to go through with it, she sent a message to Touma, hoping that he would save her. However due to bumping into Shokuhou Misaki at an intersection, Touma lost his phone and as such was unable to reach her in time.

She survives her attempt at Ground Geo, however, and was then drawn to Academy City's dark side. She discovers Misaki's relationship with Touma and thus resents her for not only stealing her chance to become Level 5, but also for being saved when she wasn't. Shundou Toshizou would later make use of her, manipulating Ayu without her noticing, for the purpose of finally stealing Mental Out for himself. For this purpose, he likely lends her the equipment that she would use for her vengeance. Using the equipment, she camouflages Ground Geo using the FIVE_Over OS and somehow inserts a Strobila on Misaki in order to torment her and create doubt that would eventually lead to her to erase her own memories of Touma believing them to be fake.


 * Chronology

Early in the arc, Misaki reminisces of her time with Touma in the summer a year ago before he lost his memories of her. She visits places around Academy City that is significant to her memories of Touma until at last she arrives at Ground Geo. There, she falls for Ayu's ruse and believes her memories have been manipulated.

Misaki later concludes that the only other person she knows that is capable of matching her is Kumokawa Seria and travels to where she believes Seria is hiding. When at last she comes upon the place is caught in her trap by her. Misaki pleads her case to Seria and tells her of its involvement with her memories of Touma. Convinced, Seria helps her and soon discovers that a Strobila device has been implanted into her. Misaki later leaves with the Strobila in Seria's possession in order to find out who the true culprit behind it being implanted into Misaki, pained by the thought that her memories with Touma might be false.

However, Seria is not the only one who is aware of Misaki's investigation. Misaki is visited again by the Ringlet curl girl asking her if she needs assistance, though Misaki dismisses her again. Much more pressing however is Ayu discovering that Misaki has finally discovered what was going on. After the removal of the Strobila, Ayu had several of her subordinates approach Misaki disguised as Emergency Aid workers to replace it under the guise of treatment for instability. But Misaki sees through their ruse and manages to take control of them. She questions one of them and discovers that the Strobila had no actual data and that it was only used to make her doubt her own memories so she would erase them herself.

She is enraptured by the revelation that her memories may be real after all. She then calls upon the Ringlet curl girl and the rest of her clique that is willing to follow her as she needs their aid in finding out the truth behind the doubt in her memories, which is in Ground Geo.

 * Mayoi Neko Overrun!, Umenomori Chise (same seiyuu as Index), comments Takumi born with misfortune, Fumio possesses right hand negating luck (Index-like voice)
 * Zero no Tsuhaima, Louise, outfit similar to Index, similar traits (chest complex, short, long hair, harm Saito when angry)
 * Kamijou Touma/Misc. Extracts: Being the main character of Toaru Majutsu no Index, allows Touma to be referenced by other works in media, although to a somewhat lesser extent than Misaka Mikoto. Most notably he is often referred to in works where his "Break your illusions" is satirized.
 * An eyecatch at episode 11 of the anime Nyan_Koi! features the main protagonist asking the viewer who is the person that looks like him – as he has similar features to Touma, and states that it is just the viewer's imagination and almost says that he will use his Imagine Breaker before being cut-off.
 * In the final episode of the flash anime Haiyore Nyaruko-san, Nyaruko tells the main male character that she used to blow-up the make-believe games of her fellow playmates when she attended space kindergarten; she later utters a similar phrase to Touma's "break that illusion" and later references Touma's Imagine Breaker, with Touma's silhouette as well as a red logo similar to Toaru Majutsu no Index title's style appearing on screen. ◾Touma is referenced once more in the second season of the anime series, Haiyore! Nyaruko-san W in the sixth episode when Kuune, the elder cousin of Cthugian Kuuko attempts to woo her younger sister into incestuous marriage. She declares that she will "destroy that illusion" of her cousin's due to her (fake) engagement to the protagonist, Mahiro.

 * In the 13th episode of Mayoi Neko Overrun!, as the heroines are reflecting on the events during the series, when talking about the main characters misfortune the Imagine Breaker is referenced when one of them says, "Your right hand is probably nullifying something like the power of good luck".

Magic-Science Treaty

 * Enforcement

Magical-Scientific Methods

 * Amakusa (Hiding meaning in everyday items/trinket)
 * Liberal Arts City (Attempt to reverse-engineer Mixcoatl)
 * RARO (Attempt to switch sides)

Background
It is unknown when exactly the treaty came into being, however most likely occurred at a point sometime after the foundation of Academy City.

Magical Life Forms
Magical life forms (魔術生命体, Majutsu Seimei-tai) are living beings which have been created through the use of magic.

Principles
Despite the fact that modern magic revolves around refining life force into magic power, few magicians have a clear answer as to what the soul actually is. There are a few prominent theories but there is little proof as to which is correct. However despite not understanding the mechanisms of the soul, there are methods to duplicate it (like with cloning or transplanting on the science side), and magicians can create a physical body to act as a container for the soul even without properly understanding it.

The product of this process is a magical life form. They are not life forms in the same way as angels and demons which are energy masses present in different Phases - they are either subspecies created by applying processes to organic material or new species produced from inorganic material, and can be made in an unending variety of forms.

In the case of Alfar, the material used to create her was a fossil, though she doesn't possess the same soul as the fossilized creature.

Magical life forms are not popular among magicians nowadays as the creation cost for one is too high and their lifespan tends to be unstable, so it isn't unusual for it to die straight after it was created. They also have problems interacting properly with the natural world and can often only live in the flask, test tube or artificial environment they were created in.

Magical life forms all have one thing in common - they are capable of original thought. As there are various complex processes which go into a spell and changing any portion could cause it to backfire and put the user's life at risk, rather than focusing on unstable magical life forms, magicians find it better and more convenient to put the same amount of effort into a spiritual item to reinforce their own abilities.

In modern times, magicians who seriously work on creating magical life forms are themselves an endangered species. The lack of creators also means there are few magical life forms and likely none outside the specialized ceremonial grounds and temples where they are created as they have trouble interacting with the natural world and perish.


 * P4.
 * Devices in Brick Wharf - spherical glass container 1m across (uncertain how placed inside) with emulated environment (forest, desert, ice, ocean) and artificially created phenomena to create life form
 * Most magical life forms there have features more dangerous than any in natural world (fangs/claws) but all they have, likely normal cats/dogs stronger, life forms twisted and easily killed by problem so nothing in natural world would have an issue with it
 * P11.
 * Lake District Necessarius research facility (in castle ruins), records of magical life forms created up to start of 20th century, Alfar isolation

Known Examples

 * Alfar

Shokuhou Misaki

 * Misaki doesn't trust anyone whose mind she cannot read, with only one known exception.
 * Misaki doesn't trust people whose mind she cannot read, with one exception.

On a couple of occasions, when embarrassed, Misaki has shown to give an explanation as an excuse, but start ranting when pressed further.

Vase

 * Attaching to car door to deal with potential witnesses.
 * Many groups at once, magicians mixed in such that crushing one would give one away
 * Use means of using Stonehenge not known to slip past Anglican's radar.
 * Once witnesseses sealed, crush Anglicans - method
 * Flings jewel into Anglican's gut, focus on next target
 * Not a chance head on - all sorts of people mixed around Stonehenge
 * Magician assume team notice if something happened to other team. That team cause commotion.
 * Attacker cause common symptom in everyone - immediately detectable
 * Not one of those two - can slip past surveillance, e.g. method to ensure no one else notice someone collapsing (appropriate for type of person putting civilians in danger to use them in place of sensors) - why stop sealing off witnesses before done
 * Could have been handled more easily - Stonehenge related to course of sun through sky - if relic box and trapezohedron in centre, summon Nyarlathotep with high quality, risk danger but slaughter all enemies. Meaningless as if simply core of Cthulhu Mythos spell wouldn't be able to reach the lost system.
 * Attacked two or three more groups, Anglicans not knowing what was happening, isolated/picked off one by one, gather in centre of circle of stones
 * Interfere with Stonehenge with experimental data (no hint of history, tradition, style or magic)
 * Existence of lost system proper system - correcting from incorrect state, loss in confusion something created by mistake, don't hesitate over destruction
 * Paused, subordinate asks what it is, leaves it to him, assuming enemy will soon arrive, Amakusa arrive
 * Sent up flare when scouts detected, Amakusa park some distance away and walk, run up hill towards Stonehenge, alerting other groups
 * Battle between Dusk/Amakusa, group focus and charge at Vase from different directions, Itsuwa following moment later (magicians charge to cut off path)
 * Invoke the trapezohedron, Amakusas try to shift to defensive stances, struck by lightning from black cloud, others except Itsuwa collapse
 * Itsuwa prepares to throw spear, bit thumb and draw X on handle with blood, symbol of past saint, St. Andrew's lightning accurately striking, throws spear (attacked by lightning), increased accuracy and lighting absorbed, strikes Vase's hand holding the jewel
 * Instinctively held hands to cover face when saw spear, stabbed right hand holding jewel, light ends ceremony, smoke disperses, jewel flies in air, Itsuwa runs forward but sees Vase bend back looking at jewel and open mouth wide, Itsuwa realizes but couldn't reach spear in time, catches jewel in mouth and swallows, summon begins again, stares at Itsuwa gaving a thin mocking smile like the evil god
 * Roar exploding like lighting due to Freadia's attack, knocked out

Principles

 * Various different methods used around Stonehenge as actual reason for existing not known (opening to take advantage of).
 * May have been originally a single proper way to use it - not cared about now. Different theories like different functions of Swiss Army knife, one chooses the most convenient interpretation, not hard to use hundred distinct types of magic with single symbol (like trick art), Anglicans using it but no guarantee found every last interpretation (changing depending on beholder, possibilities endless), can find a use not expected and slip past eyes of guards like a new computer virus
 * Potential use - related to course of sun, relic viewed as box, trapezohedron in centre, summon Nyarlathotep with high quality, risk exposing group to danger but violence slaughters whole defending force
 * Input data without religious basis

Abilities

 * Curses

Equipment
Wanting to get back at the Amakusa for deceiving her, Freadia takes a set of armor from the Sword Sanctuary


 * Deceiving body to maximize power - potentially fatal


 * Sword Sanctuary - weapons storehouse with dangerous tools and tricky spiritual items, none with normal design and destruction along with success (like gun with risk of exploding, plane at risk of crashing)
 * Spiritual item designed like western armour, customization worker expert but can't handle internal structure without eliminating reason it is useful
 * Prototype for special type of surgical armour, based on official model used by knights, normally magic power passed to armour to increase mobility, based on opposite concept, doubles wearer's magic power up to absolute limit
 * Magic about knowledge/skill, creativity matters most while inherent talent and potential less important, magic power acts as foundational driving force, if total amount increased options increased e.g. Saints drawing out portion of Son of God's power
 * Freadia - didn't need to go that far, only needed to become joker which could singlehandedly defeat everyone else on battlefield
 * Magic power obtained by converting life force, armour messes with magic power directly so risk of interfering with life force too (life), knights refused to make it standard equipment
 * Cold, mechanical like movements, no expression
 * Run close to 50m in single breath, shortest/quickest/best route, loud sound of footsteps seem to arrive moment after she does
 * Eerie black-purple smoke compressed into claw extending from fingers of gauntlet, claws metre-long and look more like swords, no blood produced from slice wound (2x3), strength leave core of body/legs, (rapier grabbed) no pursuit, swinging claw downwards extending to 10 times previous length, high-pitched noise as clash, strength/pressure causing creaking from back pressed against ground.
 * Claws burst, sizzling sound, smoke-like substance towards boy, insides wriggle like worm beneath flesh/skin, blood from mouth/nose - same as crystal radio using curse of jewel bringing death to owner, density different, cuts straight through defensive magical symbols, seems like ignoring potential, armour connects to wearer and doubles power? messes with route of life force as it circulates body through blood vessels, new path by sending life force from body into armour and armour into body, method of converting life force impossible with single body
 * Different from using leverage/pulleys to move large weight with small force, more like short selling, using something one doesn't actually possess to earn a lot in return, by sending life force through armour - creates illusion that have same special constitution as Saint, makes forget fact not another stronger person, limit to convertion, if all converted - death, falsifying number - convert large amounts that brings user into danger area, while deceiving self - fine, continue while numbers don't add up (goldfish flash frozen by liq nitrogen forget died and live on?), deceit comes to an end - user immediately dies, like if someone with 100 LP make deal assuming they have 2000 or 3000, instant comes to light assaulted by debt, sucked dry (even if goldfish preserved in ice, die if forced to thaw too quickly?)
 * Cthulhu Mythos spells based on assumption humans can't handle them, gained great power by falsifying normal hierarchy, armour more direct and riskier (is there a safe method of thawing a frozen goldfish?)
 * Face with no expression may be due to interference of life force, cold movements - reasoning not getting through

Background

 * Becoming a Majin
 * Changing the world and losing track of her original one
 * Her search for that original world, and someone who could understand her and ease her pain
 * Setting aside her powers then attempting to reclaim them in the current world

Current Text: An unknown number of years and Phases ago, Othinus, though she may have had a different name back then, became a Magic God, and many tales from many cultures told about her power, though some would make her seem like an old man or a vicious god of war,(cite) there were implications that she herself would deliberately took forms that would now be recorded in mythology.(cite) Othinus later used her power to change the world, starting a new Phase. However, she later yearned for her original world, and despite the fact that she could have used the Imagine Breaker to change the world back, her hesitations prevented her from doing so. For there was hope that she could make the world into her original world as she saw in her mind. Moreover, there was a hope for her that she could just bring the world into a new Phase and just settle there. Regardless, she suffered for it, and for countless Phases she was worn down by the suffering that she felt in each of them, something she would later visit upon Touma. Due to being worn down and the impermanence of the world, she began looking for something that would not change. Specifically, she was looking for someone who can understand her, the only one seemingly constant in the world. Though she didn't know what she wanted herself—that changing the world was but a means to an end. In the end, she settled in the current world, and somehow relinquished her title as Magic God.(cite)

During Thor and Touma's battle at the end of the Ichihanaran Festival Arc, Thor mentions Othinus taking extreme measures to gain knowledge such as pulling out one of her eyes, and hanging herself on a tree. It is a reference to the Odin of Norse mythology, who sacrificed his eye at 's Well of Wisdom in order to gain the Wisdom of Ages, as well as hanged himself on the world tree for nine days and nights, in order to learn the wisdom that would give him power in the nine worlds. Also it was said that long before, belief was initially centered on a hammer-wielding lightning god but at some point it shifted to a lance-wielding god of war. It turns out that Othinus might be the actual Odin in the legends since she posseses both the power and nature to accomplish those things.

Revisions:
 * An unknown number of years and Phases ago, Othinus, though she may have had a different name back then, became a Magic God and used her power to change the world, creating new Phases.
 * However after changing the world, she later turned back and sought her original world but found she couldn't remember it and didn't know where to return to. As a result, she changed the world and its Phases many times in a desperate attempt to recreate that original world, but even though her attempts may have been perfect to human eyes, she could still see differences and was tormented by them.
 * Though she didn't realize it, what Othinus was looking for in returning to her original world was someone who understood her and would be able to help soothe the pain she felt.
 * According to Thor, she took extreme measures to gain knowledge such as pulling out one of her eyes, and hanging herself on a tree
 * She eventually settled down in the current world and relinquished her position as a Magic God. However her unease returned and she took back the power she had set aside, earning the ire of Ollerus in the process and forming an adversarial relationship with the man. Spurned on further by World War III, she formed GREMLIN for the purpose of constructing Gungnir and uniting her infinite possibilities.

(Chronology)
 * SS2: The first implication of Othinus' existence in the series is when Ollerus uses the queer magic, Hliðskjálf, upon Sogiita Gunha. This magic, of course, is named after the high seat of Odin, which allows him to see into all realms. In the , Odin was exiled and Ollerus was chosen to take his place. This can be presumed why Ollerus currently has the Hliðskjálf.
 * WWIII

Valkyrie

 * Saints/Valkyries - The path they walk down (Kanzaki SS Ch8)
 * Valkyries given special power to carry out gods' orders, held such strong emotion that they'd fall in love and even turn backs on gods. Even if had to drive sword through own chest, would unhesitatingly give their life for one they loved.
 * Occasionally fight for sake of humans sometimes to point of destruction.
 * Differs from the angels who are mechanical messenger following programming. Fall in love with people on Earth, despair at being unable to be with them, take personal revenge for sake of one they love.

Level 6 Shift Attempt

 * Raijin-like.
 * Consciousness smothered. Directed by suggestion.

Principles, Dispute
Given the origin of the term within the Toaru fandom, there are disputes over what it means and what falls under it.


 * Whether the form resulting from the Level 6 Shift attempt on Misaka Mikoto could be classed as an Awakening is disputed, as although it shares some of the traits from the examples considered to be 'awakenings', it also has some major differences (e.g. it was executed forcibly using an external source).

NT10-related

 * Not intending to do the new Christian spells and US character articles unless not done by time the other stuff is done.
 * Intending to first focus on general chapter summaries, characters/abilities etc related to Ch12, Ch13, Ch17, Ch18, Ch19, Ep.
 * Unneeded tense shifting, messy additions, raw and unrefined, nearly copying directly

Etymology
Hikoboshi is the Japanese name for Altair, the twelfth brightest star in the night sky and a part of the Summer Triangle together with Vega and Deneb. It and the Orihime 1 (Japanese name for Vega) satellite, which carries the Tree Diagram, may be a reference to Tanabata.

 * One other little thing that I have been hoping to see whenever Birdway has appeared is further use of the Major Arcana.
 * Complex and hybrid spells would also be quite interesting.

Subjects of interest:
 * Bases near the boundaries (unsure how to describe)
 * Lost tales and mythologies
 * Cracks
 * Fabricated/speculative myths
 * Emerging tales/Engineered progress from existing fields
 * Cthulhu Mythos
 * Distortions/Projections/Mutations
 * Complex/hybrid spells
 * Conceptual spells
 * Ars Goetia
 * Astrological/Astronomical
 * Celtic Mythology
 * Classical Mythology
 * Tarot
 * Major Arcana
 * Golden-style/Thelema (likely to be tackled later)

 * Character play-styles
 * Different moves and styles of play (sturdy but slow, fast yet fragile, long or close-range)
 * Balance
 * Control
 * User blog:Inept Wiki User/Suppose you had to choose 50 characters for a game...

This is my question:

Supposing another fighting-type game was being made for the Toaru series, what kind of play-styles, move-sets and similar whatnot do you reckon would fit the various characters that could be featured?

Game Quotes

Scary Stuff
(creepy, horrifying, terrifying, unsettling - anything from the continuum/spectrum)

Different people find different things scary and at different levels.

My question is this:

Is there anything in the Toaru series that you consider creepy, scary, horrifying, unsettling or anything else from that spectrum?

=Other stuff=

Regarding Communication Problems and Frustrations

 * Communication problems - have had these for most of my life, recently however they have been getting worse.
 * Can't properly get thoughts into words. Can't convey everything I want to say properly - misunderstanding, others twisting etc
 * Hesitation and anxiety
 * Take a long time putting together posts/messages - trying to avoid mistakes, hesitating and worrying, often post (sometimes because I'd be hesitating forever otherwise) and it's still not done properly
 * Vagueness - perhaps out of encompassing more and covering the right one than focusing and getting the wrong one completely
 * When people are making mistakes, messing things up or doing wrong, can't point it out as can't properly describe what they are doing wrong - dismissal, twisting, ignoring etc, frustration as they continue to do wrong while can't do anything to stop it
 * Recent actions by certain others and the creeping corruption/conceit - upset/sad/angry because of it, communication problems added, produces negative feedback cycle & downward spiral, leading to depression
 * Need to have a description ready in advance rather than have to produce one at short notice

Regarding Miscategorisation

 * Magic Formats: For base formats, not types. Base Formats = Folklore, Mythology, Religion etc. Different from types (Healing, Bells, Fire, Wax) (difficult to properly describe).
 * Space: Some stuff which is not truly space-related - E-II mech was not designed for space and only launched into upper atmosphere
 * Events: Event redirects and main pages have been put in Events (only one)

Other

 * Name usage on articles, most common or given (thoughts: should be assessed case by case rather than all in one, generally the name most used unless family name most often used when there are more than one individual with family name) (e.g. Kanzaki, Saten, Mikoto, Seria etc) (Check KL's claim (history logs and users) - may be an example of that annoying tendency)
 * Naming Order - does not need changing from current way
 * Over-Q/S for certain images (KL), missing FURs - this might be a problem later on?
 * That, A certain creeping, corroding, corrupting movement - quite difficult to describe, but cause for depression and concern
 * Encroachment
 * Ask for advice on wiki depression.
 * Double-edged nature - output of many, both good and bad, bright or dim
 * Claiming something is true and editing to provide own justification
 * Underminers
 * Following under assumption, sheep
 * Overextension/Stretching

Index PSP

 * If health to 0, Overdrive Bar can be carried over as health (Caution), Bar can break/level up mid-fight
 * At the start of the match, option to block or launch attack?

Other

 * Problem due to users, lazily and carelessly, directly copying and pasting content, mostly from around the wiki or from the translations of the books, sometimes from Wikipedia and forum posts.
 * No effort made to make it fit properly into the article (doubts that they even properly read it through).
 * Sometimes they just dump it over content which has had effort put into it and works much better than the new stuff.
 * Often it's quite a mess.
 * Shifting of names unnecessarily (most used/given - e.g. Kanzaki), Signs of the Creeping?
 * Carrying mistakes forward and perpetuating.
 * Country pages, Staff Profiles.
 * Stuff being categorized where it shouldn't. Refine descriptions to prevent it. (SPG, Formats)
 * Trouble being incited
 * Polarization
 * Pole (Changed) playing victim to get away with their actions when they are just a bad if not worse than the other (Origin)

Wiki Notes

 * Manual of Style gives an example but doesn't strictly say that a specific reference name structure (not the reference itself by the ref-name), optimum balance between space and description.
 * When switching round articles between two different names, categories included, the counter adds them as though they were entirely new.
 * Instances of giving quotes to ref names (unnecessary) - due to visual editor?
 * Consider the possibility of a splinter project, in case the worst comes to the worst
