While the overall application so far was very good, we would like to request a revised personality section. Specifically-- how does he prove himself lacking empathy; elaborate on his goals and schemes; how does he use people as a means; does he have any "friends" and if so, how does he both behave around them and treat them; what are his thoughts about himself? Tell us more about him. Don't just say how he is--give examples of how he reacts in situations.
If you respond to this comment with your revisions, we'll look them over ASAP! You'll have until 08/29.
On the outside Relius is a courteous and polite man of fine tastes. He is perpetually calm and seems difficult, if impossible, to anger. He speaks in a very matter of fact way about things and tells people how they are. This outer appearance is mostly false, just like the golden mask he wears on his face.
In truth he is a critical scientist through and through. He has no empathy for anyone or anything, including those he has as allies. The key example of this is he turned his daughter and wife into battle dolls. He left his daughter unfinished and paired with his young son and left. His wife was finished later and is now nothing more than a tool for him to use. As for his allies, he appears civil in front of them but can be demanding; such as when he demands that Hazama hurries up so they can leave for Kagatsuchi, even with Hazama being one of the post powerful beings on the planet. He also shows no empathy towards them as he mocks Hazama while he is lying on the ground dying and asks why he chose the roof as a place to nap. He then challenges the dying man to a fight and uses Ignis to rip his throat out as part of their plan for Hazama to destroy Takamagahara.
He sees everyone and everything as data to be observed and possible experiments. To him the human body is nothing more than an artificial shell, and therefore is meaningless when compared to the true form of people; their souls. When he fell into the Cauldron, he saw a glimpse of the soul and all of his memories but of that were erased.
He began to get them back and he relished in it; saying it was like putting books back on a shelf. To Relius, the world is to be organized, categorized, and labeled. He wishes to learn everything there is to learn and will do or sacrifice anything to do so. Even his own wife and daughter were given up in his pursuit to create the ultimate human being. This is all part of Relius's drive to learn more. He is the ultimate scientist without ethical cares. Without batting an eye, he delves into the mind of Makoto Nanaya in her bad end to pull out all of her negative emotions and find the hidden hatred of her best friends. He uses this to shatter her soul so he can remake it to his own design. He does this simply because she was an interest to him.
In almost any situation Relius remains calm. He defeats Platinum the Trinity and is about to attack Bang when he realizes he is getting outnumbered. Rather than reacting in any emotional capacity he simple states the odds have turned against him and takes his leave. He does the same when confronted by two of the Six Heroes. He calmly takes his leave though he was frustrated his true goal was blocked by the two. He doesn't openly show strong emotion but he can feel it. He constantly wears the mask of formality as it were.
Any friend he may have is Hazama and though they often attend to civilized conversation he does often make quips at the man. He questions him whenever he seems to be acting human and acts what he defines as out of character for him. As for others he treats them mostly as subjects. He orders them to not disappoint him or to show him the value of their soul. The only exception is his son, Carl, who he is far more harsh on. He demands much from his son when the boy doesn't completely slip his mind. He sees his son as an annoyance that should be out of the way rather than his actual child. In their first fight he holds back when fighting Carl, showing he doesn't wish to kill his son but does threaten that if he doesn't stop getting in his way he would do just that. Enemies, his own offspring, allies, and anyone in between is not safe from him. He will hurt, experiment, and kill them should it suit his purposes.
As for his purposes; the base want is to learn. He joined the NOL to have access to their Research and Development department and works directly under the Imperator. His goal was to help her destroy both Takamagahara and the Master Unit Amaterasu to stop the constant time loop the world was stuck in and end the continuum shift that had enacted when the time loop was disrupted. Doing so put time into a linear line that would push the world towards its end. He did this so he could learn more about the world and speed forward the Imperator's own plans that are unknown at the moment.
