History Characters / BlazBlueControlSequence

* GoMadFromTheRevalation: When her true identity is revealed [[spoiler: She undoes Nex's seal anyway in a fit of madness and is KilledOffForReal]]

* Trauma-Induced Amnesia: The same incident that caused her insanity caused her to forget her past [[spoiler: and caused her to be influenced by the NOS]]

The main protagonist of Control Sequence, he is an artificial being of some sort who was created for an unknown purpose and holds a world changing, destructive power over the Azure he accesses with a unique design of "VideoGame/BlazBlue", making him a target for capture by the governments of the world.

* AntiAntiChrist: Zigzagged. He is the Destroyer, and accepts his role to a point. But, he won't let anything else destroy the world except him and he isn't even that invested in it evidently, as he opposes direct forces who want to such as Zaezel. He also pretty much tells anyone who tells him it's his fate to destroy mankind or the world to [[ScrewDestiny screw off and he'll do what he chooses.]]
* ArtificialHuman: Although he doesn't know what he is-- He's at grips with this fact, and its stated in the beginning of the plot. You can also tell easily due to what appears to be Seithr corrosion on his shoulders which is actually [[spoiler: a part of the Grimoire materializing a portion of the Azure's power on a physical body.]]

* BerserkButton: Akuhei. The one responsible for most of his woes, Nex can not keep a level head around him half the time if the man's words get to his head.

* TheDreaded: When you are considered by the world to be its primary enemy, anyone sane would refuse to mess with you.
* EnemyWithin: The Grimoire's will, which seeks to strengthen Nex at the cost of him sacrificing his humanity and becoming a heartless monster focused only on destruction.

** HeroicResolve: Pre-Control Sequence, in his Rebellion Sequence saga he displays this where he would never rely on the Grimoire's power and continue fighting even if he stood no chance. Its Zigzagged since the time of Control Sequence however he is much more prone to dip into his powers due to his hate.

* NotAfraidToDie: Nex doesn't fear death as he knows it simply doesn't matter, the "World" doesn't let him die eternally making death the least of his fears.
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Nex's motives don't boil to a single thing nor does he have any interest in stopping the war between the NOS or LSZ, or even stopping those who wish to destroy the world like himself-- he's in it for a much more personal reason.

** BadassInDistress: While one of the most powerful in the cast--Nex is known to get into a lot of trouble with some of the most insane antagonists who manage to push him into rare submission, actually do catch him, or he comes close to dealing with a FateWorsethanDeath. He needs help from the cast every now and again.

* ThePromise: Nex has several of them burdened upon his soul, such as [[spoiler:returning to rescue Yura from the Sequence and get back her soul]].

* RoaringRampageofRescue: Regarding keeping a promise to return to a certain girl and owner of the locket, who was [[spoiler: seemingly taken by the NOS's strange and unknown unit following her demise he witnessed at their hands]]. Nex won't let anything get in his way of that goal.

** CradleOfLoneliness: He will sometimes cradle the locket close or in his hand tightly, most likely to have its energy reassure him or to engage in reminiscing.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: He used to be a nice kid until the world deserved all of his hatred.
* TheUnfettered: With the burden of knowing the "Truth" there isn't much that moves him.
* WalkingWasteland: With his Grimoire active, Nex can kill weak beings in his vicinity by simply being around them.

* HeroWorship: [[spoiler: Showes shades of this to Koyoto when the latter reveals his role in the war]]

* DisapointedInYou: [[spoiler: Implied when he talks to Nicaiah during CTS Origins expressing how disappointed he is at how she has turned out see "Greatest Failure"]]
* Greatest Failure: [[spoiler: Considers Nicaiah falling into the same pattern as her mother this, as he tried to train her to do more]]
** [[spoiler: Not being there for Imyo after his wife and Child went missing]]

** [[spoiler: The Glamour he puts on Ke'ri not holding up, leading to Imyo's death, Nex's current state and Seig's kidnapping]]

* DisapointedInYou: [[spoiler: Implied when he talks to Nicaiah during R0 expressing how disappointed he is at how she has turned out see "Greatest Failure"]]

* TrueCompanions: With Imyo pre-CTS

* TheHunter: Due to his disdain of the corrupt beings of the Boundary and what they seek to do, he seeks to end them.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia Yuri Lowell]].

* ChaoticEvil: His actions have made him go into Chaotic Evil ''Overload''. Even other antagonists fear him, he's not one to trust and he won't think twice about using you to get his ways as he's a master of manipulation, much like his canon counterpart.

* [[PowerFist Power Claw]]: He has claws as part of his infusion with the Boundary's energy- if he's not smacking foes down with Apolloexon or charring them with lightning he's rending you apart with his claws which leave brutal and corroding wounds.

!!Xena

Xena is known as a rogue AIP who seeks to unveil a certain "desire" she was shaped by. She has a amiliarity to Nex,and wants to protect him rom the world's desires.

-->'' "I can change the world? I never once said I was fighting to change this world, all I want is my answers. I fight for answers about the past… I don’t care about changing the way this world is here and now. I’ll leave that to others that actually care about that crap like the “Azure Prodigy” and Nex. No matter what I say Nex treats me like a kid anyway, so why should I care?" ''

* {{Badass}}: Nex may not be the greatest or nicest guy in his world, but he has certainly proven he knows what he's doing, and takes that extra step others hesitate on to ensure that problems are taken care of.
** He has the guts to go against the world itself uncaring of who comes at him, it isn't arrogance, it's just raw resolve. He's willing to go against the Azure Grimoire's desire, which is regarded as an artifact of death and destruction itself in-story. His history is laced with many assaults on the government, on Gates and also stopping much larger threats then himself at a constant. Even as a child, Nex was thrown into many situations to prove himself.
** BadassLongcoat: His sleeveless black coat he wears runs down to his calves and is ripped with crimson pinstripe veins throughout its surface, and red lining inside. Definitely a dark hero look.

* BerserkButton:
** Akuhei. The one responsible for most of his woes, Nex can not keep a level head around him half the time if the man's words get to his head.
** Harming the very few he still cares about and/or is protecting, such as Siegfried or Myri. He will [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge go insane with anger if anyone so even]] [[UnstoppableRage TRIES to hurt them while he's present.]]
** In Rebellion Sequence, [[spoiler: harming Xendes or Cerea was also a VERY large berserk button.]]

* BadAss: When you kill all kinds of tough guys and insane blood-thristy psychopaths on a weekly basis, you inevitably become a really dangerous person.
** BadassLongcoat: Wears a jet-black leather one with a hood and adorned with black fur.

** OmnicidalManiac: See ChaoticEvil.

* BadAss: To make people crap their pants at a mere mention of your name, you have to be one bad mother.
** He single-handed [[spoiler: destroyed the 51st Sector's stations in a city within Yurisa and proved a threat against many of their stronger members, fighting their elite and killing many. And, even though Sylar eventually had to retreat, its well known not to mess with him.]]

** DeadlyUpgrade: Nex when releasing his Grimoire is insanely powerful, and he does it to gain more power to beat those antagonists to the floor... but it has a nasty little effect of making Nex consume everything for more power, and has a desire of its own. It's also been mentioned it can give him a FateWorseThanDeath if he isn't cautious.
** HearingVoices: The Grimoire's implied insanity and will when he unleashes the Azure or is near the Boundary. It seems to communicate to him through the Boundary and the Grimoire's connection, and only Nex can hear it. Its at very least malevolent as it is always seeking to destroy and devour, and holds the ability to release the Grimoire's destructive power when Nex and it are in synchronization by Nex's anger or hate- as seen at the end of Verse 1.
* AntiAntiChrist: Zigzagged. He is the Destroyer, and accepts his role to a point. But, he wont let anything else destroy the world except him and he isn't even that invested in it evidently, as he opposes direct forces who want to such as Zaezel. But also pretty much tells anyone who tells him its his fate to destroy mankind or the world to [[ScrewDestiny screw off and he'll do what he chooses.]]
* ArtificialHuman: Although he doesn't know what he is-- He's at grips with this fact, and its stated in the beginning of the plot. You can also tell easily due to what appears to be Seithr corrosion on his shoulders which is actually [[spoiler: a part of the Grimoire manifesting the Azure over him physically.]]
* {{Badass}}: Nex may not be the nicest guy in the world, but he knows what he's talking about and takes that extra step others hesitate on to ensure that problems are taken care of.
** He has the guts to go against the world itself uncaring of who comes at him, it isn't arrogance, its just raw resolve. He's willing to go against the Azure Grimoire's desire, which is regarded as an artifact of death and destruction itself. His past history has a collection of notable achievements, including [[spoiler: Destroying a Gate from the government, destroying an entire establishment and reducing it to mere seithr when someone tried to capture him, stopping a near crisis in the region of Yurisa alongside Sylar, along with also managing to get his allies out of a peraliious situation in Taoreta while also giving them a fight to remember.]] BadassDecay you will almost never find in the guy.
** BadassLongcoat: His sleeveless black coat he wears runs down to his calves and is ripped with crimson pin stripe veins throughout its surface, and red lining inside. Definitely a dark hero look.

* BlackMagic: His Azure Grimoire is a purely evil source that just acts to corrupt.

* DarkMessiah: Unwillingly Heroic type in the eyes of [[spoiler: some in LS. Such characters regard him as a Savior and the one that will bring the change to the devastated world and free it of the NOS' designs. However, while Nex himself does want to change the world he doesn't see himself as a Savior of anything and doesn't wish to be a part of it as it entails doing much against his own will, claiming those who believe that he is are deluded and don't actually know what his actual role in this world is.]]

* FaceHeelTurn: He was actually on the fence about his road for quite awhile as a child and young adult, but after dealing with so much hell at every turn by enemies far stronger then him-- he eventually was forced, brutally, to learn that there was no room for naivety in his life and in the end made his choice to walk the road as the Destroyer.
** StartOfDarkness: In his Origin Story, by a case said to be beyond his control, he contacted the destructive powers inside his body through a 'strange gate' and unleashed a devilish power over the Azure in hopes to stop what was going on-- instead he watched everything he began to regain be destroyed, and after he'd already lost those dear to him once before. Imyo managed to deprogram it from him when he saves him later on, and over time he seemed to change, however, he obviously has been forever scarred from his past experiences, gaining a outlook of hate toward the world and is willing to destroy everything.

** HeroicResolve: Pre Control Sequence, in his Rebellion Sequence saga he displays this where he would never rely on the Grimoire's power and continue fighting even if he stood no chance. Its Zigzagged since the time of Control Sequence however he is much more prone to dip into his powers due to his hate.

** PhlebotinumMuncher: The Azure Grimoire on him desires [[spoiler: Boundary Fragments/Shards and Seithr Cores]] that contain refined and altered soul energy and destructive power. They're fed to him not to keep him alive, rather they effect him mentally, as well as physically and become part of him.

** PersonOfMassDestruction: His Azure Grimoire and the power of his soul makes him this. Not only can he devour an endless amount of souls and turn that energy into his own power but he creates seithr that destroys life and is referred to as the Destroyer who will end the current world.

* MeaningfulName: Nex means "Violent Slaughter" in Latin. Nex can grant his enemies a CruelAndUnusualDeath.

** SafetyInIndifference: Nex very rarely let's any kind of feelings show through, although he is mostly void of anything aside hate by the time of Control Sequence, so he doesn't have much of any feeling left to him in reality. He absolutely refuses to get close to anyone.

** DefiantCaptive: Whoever has him is probably going to be in for a rough time. He'll fight, he'll protest, he'll even threaten to destroy everything around him but he'll NEVER be taken quietly or surrender. When faced with these situations he is extremely defiant to whatever fate is presented to him.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Generates crimson energy wings from darkness, azure and seithr during certain times, though it does cost him energy to keep them out.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Nex's eyes are a strange combination of red with blue centers. They go completely red when he's getting a bit upset...and all that hatred is becoming just a bit hard to hold back, threatening to push him to levels of UnstoppableRage.

*** HellishPupils: His eyes narrow in to a demonic slit whenever his eyes go red.
* SiblingRivalry: While they are not blood siblings, Nex and Siegfried fit this trope to a T with their constant bickering and hair-trigger tempers when near each other. Nex is at first detesting of Siegfried and his choices to side with the NOS- though ever since the time of Verse 2 he seems to have become apathetic and let him do as he chose. It doesn't change that Nex still genuinely cares for the part of him that he shared peaceful years with alongside Imyo and even admits he felt he had been put in an older-brother role to him.

* StoicWoobie: Nex has had and has a LOT of bad stuff happen to him, and he wont even complain about it. It doesn't help him that he knows the "Truth" everyone else is trying to find, and can't say a word.

* TragicFlaw: His die-hard devotion and care mixed with his hatred make for a self-destructive combination at times. [[spoiler: He cares only for self-preservation of his state of mind to and this causes Nex to make strange choices and go through any suffering to stay as himself. He'll always put himself through more agony instead of making the bad choice and just doing what "should" be done when it involves something he deeply cares for. However its almost impossible for the man to avoid pain.]]
** He devours the lives of so many to keep Siegfried alive and it unleashes the Azure Grimoire in the process that he was keeping dormant to keep himself sane. But when it came between it or Siegfried - he chose Siegfried who still is against him as a foe anyway.

* WeirdnessMagnet: Nex gets into some really odd situations, due to his attachment to the True Azure's power. As a kid he ran into beings of Seithr the government never even acknowledged the existence of. He also deals with people who the world doesn't know are around... Or even people who want --as in seductive want or outright lust-- him like [[spoiler: Valetha and Akari's separate form]]. Its commonly said by him, or others, that he's a 'Magnet for the crazies'. It's become so common for him though that he doesn't seem to fear it at all anymore.

* BerserkButton: Insulting his mother.

** In Verse 1: Purity and Sin, Akuhei clearly wanted Nex to use his power for some reason, which even after encounters with all three of the trio of [[spoiler: Fasado, Lukain, and Akuhei]] Nex still refuses to do it because he knows Akuhei wants him to. So he took matters into his own hands: In the middle of Verse 1, he manipulated [[spoiler:Siegfried]] into going out to handle a matter Reiga couldn’t through fighting the one responsible for the attacks of the first verse [[spoiler:Zaezel]]. But this was only done in order to [[spoiler: Force a meeting on both Nex and Siegfried and pit the two against each other wearing them out to when they fight Zaezel they can’t win. Putting Siegfried in a near death situation, at Zaezel's hands that caused Nex to have no choice but to activate the grimoire in order to save him. Akuhei playing on their childhood friendship and using Nex’s one last weakness against him.]] All while Akuhei was watching it all happen without them knowing it and he had his classic PsychoticSmirk appear right as Nex [[spoiler:activates the grimoire]].

* WineIsClassy: one of his hobbies is brewing wine, though he's still a psychopath.

* ArchEnemy: Acts as such towards Valetha

* BrilliantButLazy: She is quite knowledgeable about science and magic, but she prefers to control her subordinates from her office and give them directions rather that participate in combat.

* SirSwearsALot: During his maniacal moments he can spew so many swears even sailors would cover their ears.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: So he claims. AllGirlsWantBadBoys, after all.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Unlike the other high-ranking members of the LS who are more conservative and reluctant to lend thier hand in battle against the [=NOS=], Nicaiah is always willing to offer her help to the protagonists, regardless of their affiliation.

* RedHeadedHero: His hair is a crimson shade, got it from his father.

* RedHeadedHero: Seems like Reiga inherited his hair color from him.

* NobleDemon: Totally a demonic sort, even down to the appearance and actions, but Sylar has moral boundaries. He’ll do what he has to to get what he wants, and he certainly won't hesitate to kill a foe. However he has no interest in committing acts of destruction for no reason.

* ShockAndAwe: Sylar can absorb Seithr and form it into electric fields and rings around him as well as stronger forms of the lightning like darkness he controls.
** YellowLightningBlueLightning: Sylar's lightning is pitch-black.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cherries. Sylar loves his cherries. Likely because of his fascination with round, shiny objects and sugar. This is the best of both worlds for the Demon. He'll be seen with sugar coated cherries or just regular ones. Either way it isn't uncommon for him to pull one out and play with it before eating it.

* TheObiWan: A bit more obnoxious than the usual type.

* TheObiWan: Served as one to Nex and Siegfried before his death.

* DarkIsEvil: And completely psychotic.

* [[PowerFist PowerClaw]]: He has claws as part of his infusion with the Boundary's energy- if he's not smacking foes down with Apolloexon or charring them with lightning he's rending you apart with his claws which leave brutal and corroding wounds.

* NuttySquirrel

!!!Kiryos Hikamigawa

* {{Expy}}: Of Ragna the Bloodedge, minus most of Ragna's redeeming qualities. He also shares a lot of traits with [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Guts]].
