...I am... this isn't a dream... am I awake at last?
Ah, greetings wandering human. I believe you have some- Why are you so startled? Clothes? Oh, of course. Autonomic Nerves do not require them. ...I do not understand what you are so distressed over, however, I will comply with your request and help you regain your lost dignity. Accessing... Connecting... Loading... CREATE!
This should suffice. Now, you would like to learn about me? Analyzing request... Compiling votes... sixty-five for and thirty-four against. It seems I will comply with your request, now listen closely:
I am an Autonomic Nerve, unit number 10076. My assigned name is Vatista. My orders are to oversee the phenomena known as the Hollow Night. I was created in ancient times to watch over the Hollow Night and eliminate any In-Births or Void that are perceived as threats. I am only to be active when there is a mission for me to fulfill, otherwise, I remain in a dormant state. I was once awakened during a large scale battle between two In-Birth organizations known as the Night Blade and Licht Kreis. There, I loaned one of the seven wings of my Aegis Attributor to Kuon, which he used to halt the transformation of Waldstein into a Void. I do not know what happened to it after that, though the sword wielded by Hyde seems oddly familiar. I became inactive again afterwards, awakening centuries later in the present day. There, I met the young In-Birth named Hyde, who I assisted in defeating Hilda. In the aftermath I found that the threat I was awakened to incapacitate was still at large, and chose to remain active in the real world until the next Hollow Night. Hyde invited me to stay at his house until then, despite me not requiring food or lodging. I have lived with him, Linne, and Waldstein since.
I am a playable character in the Fighting Game Under Night In-Birth, where I was one of the original ten characters available in the vanilla version of the game. There, I function as a mechanically difficult, yet highly rewarding character that can fulfill most fighting styles exceedingly well. I also appear in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, where I am Downloadable Content and fight for Hyde's faction.
If the description provided above was insufficient, worry not, I have prepared a list of tropes to help you become more familiar with me.
I am but a simple, unassuming example of the following tropes:
- Androids Are People, Too: I am no mere human, and do not require such normal things as food, sleep, or clothing, though Hyde still treats me as if I were. An unusual In-Birth, he is.
- Angelic Beauty: ...Am I truly that attractive compared to ordinary humans?
- Badass Adorable: I was given a 10-star rating in the Kawaii statistic in Cross Tag Battle, whatever that word means.
- Berserk Button: "Berserk" is an extreme term, but I find myself irritated by individuals that impede me with their stupidity. The ones known as Nanase and Waldstein discovered this the hard way. In Cross Tag Battle, Celica's abysmal navigational skills grew tiresome even for me, and I quickly seized the map from her.
- Charge-Input Special: Execution of my moves requires the player to hold a direction for just under a second before pressing the opposite direction and a button.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Wandering In-Births seem to view my behavioral patterns as very abnormal. Wearing no clothing and standing idle for a month are perfectly ordinary for Autonomic Nerves, yet humans do not comprehend how we behave.
- Difficult, but Awesome: I've gained a reputation for being the hardest character to use in my home game. The dexterity required to properly utilize my entire arsenal to its fullest is considered the main drawback to using me, but those with the patience to figure me out will find that they can kill their opposition extremely fast from any distance.
- Downloadable Content: My appearance in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, where additional human currency is required to use me, alongside the child detective and the possessed suit of armor.
- Elegant Gothic Lolita: My current choice of armor turns out to be a rather popular fashion trend among humans, and has caused me to be compared to a doll.
- Endearingly Dorky: Social ability is not a skill I was programmed with, but humans seem to like that about me. Peculiar.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: My last instance of being active was several centuries ago. Things such as cars, street lights, and skyscrapers were unheard of in that time period. I adapted rather quickly, however.
- Good Counterpart: I serve as one to Nu-13 in Cross Tag Battle. The so-called Murakumo Units are quite similar to the Autonomic Nerves, but Nu exists to destroy indiscriminately, while I was built to protect the Hollow Night from those that disturb it.
- Hair Antennae: My hair spirals upwards into a shape that resembles a halo. Between that and my Aegis Attributor, my appearance has been compared to that of an angel.
- Hartman Hips: Against what my official measurements might say, this body's hips are quite a bit wider than the rest of it.
- Hunter of Monsters: Elimination of Voids is my primary directive above all else.
- Informed Attractiveness: Based on the multiple comments on my appearance, In-Births seem to consider me very attractive by human standards. I do not understand why though.
- Innocent Fanservice Girl: Paraphrasing initial encounter with Hyde:Me: ...Clothes? Oh, of course. Autonomic Nerves do not require them.Hyde: You might not need them, but I sure as hell do! Just put something on, okay!?Me: ...I do not know what has caused you to become so distressed.
- Last of Her Kind: I am only able to detect two other units linked to my system, one of which is being repaired by the In-Birth organization known as Licht Kreis. It seems all of my other sister units have long since been destroyed in the years that I have been inactive.
- Long-Range Fighter: I have a larger amount of projectile attacks at my disposal than the In-Births I am pitted against.
- Magitek: What is available today far exceeds what was used to create me. It was with the use of magic that I was conceived in the form I have, and the death of its practice ensures that I cannot be replicated.
- Ms. Fanservice: Outside of its hips, this body lacks attractive measurements, however, that does not change the fact that I spend all of my time in Chronicle Mode completely naked, and I begin my Arcade Mode without clothing as well. I also wear Future Spandex under my dress, which is shown at the start of any match before I equip my armor. Humans might find it curious that in my initial design, I was quite literally a product of my creator's fetishes.
- Mystical White Hair: My hair is silver, and as an Autonomic Nerve, I am far from human.
- Naked First Impression: When I first met Hyde, I had attempted to ask questions to him, but he changed the subject towards my lack of clothing. I did not understand at the time, but when a similar incident occurred with Orie, I got the message that humans are sensitive towards any lack of clothing.
- Nice Girl: My programming does not cover more casual interaction, but I see no reason to be impolite towards the In-Births I encounter, even if my master dictates I must combat them.
- No Social Skills: I was not designed to socialize with humans, I exist strictly to pacify In-Births and eliminate Voids. What exactly is abnormal about me remaining idle for the 2.5 million seconds it will take for a new Hollow Night to manifest?
- Not So Above It All: I join Aegis in firing "warning shots" at Ragna during the crossing of fates.
- Not So Stoic: Emotions are normally a very minor part of my programming, but there are moments when my calm demeanor slips. I was rather taken aback when Hyde grabbed my hand and pulled me along, I slung a few insults at Waldstein when he did not understand my speech pattern, and the cry I let out when I am defeated in-game is far from calm.
- Pointy Ears: My ears are shaped considerably differently from ordinary humans, though most do not notice since part of my armor conceals them.
- Power Floats: When in battle I tend to hover above the ground, and even while asleep I am suspended in the air.
- Razor Wings: My Aegis Attributor, which is my most notable weapon for dispatching In-Births and Voids.
- Rei Ayanami Expy: A simple yet accurate depiction of my character archetype.
- Restraining Bolt: I have restrictions on how much of my power I am permitted to use against human opponents. Despite being ordered to kill Hilda, I was unable to due to my power being too limited to do so.
- Really 700 Years Old: I have been overseeing the Hollow Night for centuries.
- Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Ba ba ba ba! Spinny spin spin! Pow pow pow!
- Sleep-Mode Size: My current form is not indicative of my full power, as it was reduced as a consequence of me offering up one of my seven wings to Kuon the Eternal to save the one known as "Waldstein" from succumbing to a transformation into a Void.
- Ship Tease: Hyde Kido... Searching database. One result, I encountered him while naked, and he invited me to quarter in his home, inciting a very strong reaction from me when he grabbed my hand. Nature of relationship: ...Ambiguous. Humans seem to find me being the sole female unfazed by Nanase's strange tales about Hyde another significant testament to our relationship.
- Sleepyhead: *Yaaawwnnn...* I'm only awake when I need to be, you see... That's why I go to sleep whenever I defeat my opponent...
- Tron Lines: The red lines on my armor are my Curse Commandments, which allow me to use the FLS that fuel my weaponry.
- Walking Spoiler: Despite being but one of many other Autonomic Nerves, my existence is far more significant to the Hollow Night at large than it may seem at first. Hyde's Insulator, the legendary sword that multiple factions have been chasing after him for, is actually my missing seventh wing reforged into a blade, subjected to such after I gave it to the In-Birth Kuon. That action itself set off several more events that would shape the current state of affairs in the Hollow Night. To borrow human slang, "tl;dr I'm responsible for the entire setting being the way it is."
- Was Once a Man: Irrelevant. Dwelling on the identity of the human mind used to create me will impede my mission.
- You Are Number 6: My designation is Unit 10076.
- Task complete… Goodnight.*Floats into the air and falls asleep.*
