* Magneto's temple is a sphere of metal that used to be an asteroid, floating gently less than twenty feet over a grassy plain.
* Magneto was a Jewish child in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, before his powers developed. No one else made it. Therefore he has one of the best {{Freudian Excuse}}s imaginable; although he tries to [[HeelFaceTurn fight the good fight]] and he is not generally a completely evil being, he can't make himself believe that peaceful coexistence is really possible.
* Another effect of this is that his hatred of Nazis is legendary; Swarm is forced to de-emphasize his Naziness in favor of his [[BeeBeeGun beeness]], and Red Skull has to execute some very complicated plans just to leave his temple without, for instance, having all the metals in his body pulled out, formed into a small nail, and driven into his forehead.
* They don't rouse his ire quite as quickly as Nazis or [=NeoNazis=] do, but [[FantasticRacism Fantastic Racists]] of all stripes and creeds are his BerserkButton. On occasions, he descends to Earth [[http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/2366820.html to deal with some]] in [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome the most horrifyingly awesome way imaginable]].
** He also hates the treatment of his [[ComicBook/UltimateMarvel Ultimate Universe]] incarnation.
* He is not in any kind of competition with Toph. He would like to emphasize that. They have not antagonized each other, and he's better with children than with most humans. Instead, they irregularly trade stories and impress each other. She still hasn't learned to fly, he can't do anything with rocks.
* [[http://pics.livejournal.com/stubbleupdate/pic/000f3fg4 No problem is too great for the Master of Magnetism!]]
* If there are any enemies dare raid his House, his response is usually: "Enemies! [[VideoGame/XMen Welcome...]] '''[[MemeticMutation TO DIE!]]'''"
** However, Deadpool mocked him saying "[[AscendedMeme HAHAHA! Magneto! Welcome... TO DIE!]]"
* A strange fellow by the name of Kuan-Yin Xorn has been spotted outside the House of Nature on occasion, confusingly claiming that he either is Magneto, used to be Magneto, or was somehow turned into Magneto due to a bad case of [[RealityWarper reality warping]]. The Pantheon are considering letting him in as God of [[ContinuitySnarl ridiculously confusing character arcs]], but he's going to have to compete with Hawkman. Magneto himself could not be reached for comment.
* Even if [[Westernanimation/XMenEvolution more than once]] [[Film/XMenApocalypse he followed him]], has remained a fierce opponent of Apocalypse.
* If he's absent alongside Professor X... [[spoiler:this means that both have merged into [[Pantheon/{{Personality}} Onslaught]]]].
* Once fought a young dark wizard and managed to defeat him causing said wizard to run away. That wizard's name was Tom Marvolo Riddle, making Magneto one of the few beings Voldemort hesitates to go up against.
* Has been compared to [[Pantheon/HeroicActions Gandalf]] [[Creator/IanMcKellen for obvious reasons]]. [[Creator/MichaelFassbender Similar reasons]] make Magneto one of the few deities the [[Pantheon/ObsceneActions Xenomorph]] refuses to attack.
* Magneto eventually learned of a [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia world where humanity evolved to where most of the populace had superpowers.]] He became '''''very''''' interested in this and sought out the two new ones: All Might and his protege, Izuku Midoriya to learn more. After all, the idea of a world where superhumans mainly rule is something that he and Professor X are keen to learn more about.
** Magneto was a bit surprised by what he found out in regards to 80% of the population having it, with the two first arrivals from this world having gotten their power through unusual means. However, it was still more or less a world filled with what he saw as mutants. In many ways, it seemed to validate what his old friend Xavier said. Yet it was still a world with conflict, especially where superpower-enhancing and superpower-suppressing drugs were developed by various criminal groups.
* Due to having very similar power sets and abilities, he has found a FriendlyRivalry with [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Pyrrha Nikos]]. Oftentimes, they will spar against each other to see who is the true master manipulator of magnetism. Last time they duked it out, they drew a crowd of thousands.
* He has a temporary alliance with [[Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes Adam Taurus]] due to a mutual dissatisfaction with the human race. However, Taurus went to lengths [[EvenEvilHasStandards he himself would never go to]]. He has promised that if Adam decides to turn against him, he will take the opportunity to eliminate the extremist Faunus.
* He once heard of Tetsuo's power in telepathy and, after hearing how Charles was unable to get through to him, decided to test Tetsuo's strength. While Tetsuo was strong, having to see him ultimately suffer in his Ego Collapse for and hearing his cries for help, made Magneto pity him and sadly call him a "Poor child".

However, it was still more or less a world filled with what he saw as mutants. In many ways, it seemed to validate what his old friend Xavier said. Yet it was still a world with conflict, especially where superpower-enhancing and superpower-suppressing drugs were developed by various criminal groups.

* Max Eisenhardt is a man whose life, philosophy, ethics, and motivations were shaped by the UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust and the tragedy that comes with being part of the opposed, hated, and devastated for circumstances out of his control. Once an innocent little boy, he was targeted by UsefulNotes/NaziGermany simply because of his Jewish Family and he ended up being the only survivor, mainly due to his developing latent superpowers in manipulating electromagnetism. Even after UsefulNotes/WorldWarII, his misfortune wouldn't end; Max's attempt in starting a family of his own was cut short when his daughter was killed by oppressors and his wife fled from him, events that would form the basis of his cynical outlook on the world and from his kind, ''Homo superior'', better known as "mutants". Things would look up when he encountered a fellow mutant named Charles Xavier and the two became best friends, but their opposing means to achieve the goal of mutant acceptance and recognition caused Max to believe he and Xavier were never going to properly work together, not helped by their works being met with underwhelming results and unintended disdain from others. To that end, Max decided that mutants can never really coexist with humans peacefully and established his own order, the Brotherhood of Mutants, making sure that his organization consisted of like-minded mutants and supporters. From there, Max took on his infamous alias and moniker; ''Magneto, "Master of Magnetism"'' and sought to bring about mutant supremacy, honestly believing that it's for the best regarding his kind. While he would clash against Xavier's own organization, the X-Men on countless occasions due to their desire Xavier's desire for a more optimistic and hopeful outcome, Magneto never truly let go of his friendship with Professor X and has seen himself coming to an understanding on a number of occasions. Regardless of whether he's a villain to many, a hero to some, or a freedom fighter to few, Magneto remains determined and sees himself first and foremost as a survivor, fighting to never see the mutants go through what he went through as a child. ''Never Again''.
* Magneto was among the earliest of his kind to become aware of the Pantheon and one of its first deities, with the only known one to precede him in that category being Apocalypse. The Master of Magnetism was quickly intrigued by the idea of whole new worlds and realms, perhaps this meant that he could finally find one where he and his kind don't have to be condemned and discriminated against, which explains why he was excited upon ascension. Due to his reputation as an adversary, there were beings like Melkor who felt that he would make a good recruit in their legion of evil, but Max openly rejected whatever offers were given to him. He has no desire to work on evil impulses and he figured that doing such would compromise his relationship with Professor X and with his Brotherhood of Mutants, whom he bought along as his heralds. He also has no interest in the forces of good either, instead choosing to start a tertiary camp of wanting to provide a haven for mutants and similar beings in the Pantheon, though he's proven to be a WildCard as well, with ideals and motives often coming to an alignment with heroes and villains depending on the situation. That said, Magneto enjoys his time in the Pantheon, helped by the fact that there are so many superpowered beings in the divine realms that he doesn't feel too out of place and discriminated against and that the number of normal people who didn't oppose him for his race was more than he expected. While less cynical in the Pantheon, Magneto does retain his ruthless pragmatism and a side of ferocity he would demonstrate if anyone dares to slight him and has made it clear that whoever opposes him will be slighted. As a result, he's polarizing to both heroes and villains alike, though thankfully he's not too much of a malicious being to be given too much attention, which helps Magneto's aim to create a Pantheonic settlement for mutants. That, and he's glad that his friend Charles is also an ascended being.
* Magneto is among the strongest of his kind and his powers over magnetism ''isn't'' a one-trick-pony; he has control over the ''entire'' electromagnetic spectrum, which is to say he has far more abilities than you'd expect; {{flight}}, generating {{force field}}s, [[BloodIron control blood and fashion it into something similar to iron]], {{telepathy}}, [[{{Invisibility}} turn himself invisible]], and [[GravityMaster limited control over gravity in his direct vicinity]]. Add to his genius-level intellect and being incredibly creative about his powers and you'd understand why he has the title of the ''"Master of Magnetism"''. Despite his generally neutral stance, Magneto is one of the most feared beings in the Pantheon, not helped by his past actions as a supremacist, though he's never dipped into genocide territory despite coming close a few times[[note]]and disbarring some rather... [[AdaptationalVillainy unsavory versions]][[/note]]. While mainly concerned with his own goals, he does keep in check regarding any major activities and events going on in the Pantheon, making sure that he is prepared to fight for his people and cause and is willing to play the role of hero if it suits him. That's not to say he has a dismissive, even condescending view towards others, but Magneto's politeness and genuine intentions always manage for at least a strained partnership with anyone if they share a mutual foe. He may find difficulty in finding allies, but he'll settle with professional working relations as a way to keep himself updated and his clade of mutants secured without taking up headlines.
* Magneto ''completely and utterly despises'' Nazis and anyone who dares to follow or support their cause and he's made no secret about his undying hatred towards them. Considering what he went through as a child, not even those who oppose Max for his own villainous actions could ignore why he became such a cynic in the first place. The fact that there's a Nazi movement in the Pantheon consisting of both participants back in WWII and Neo-Nazis and general enthusiasts who somehow admire UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler made Magneto hellbent on storming their bases and obliterating them from the face of existence, opposition be damned. The few times he met the Red Skull, Max almost killed him, barely concealing how he hates him just as much as Captain America, and no, [[BerserkButton don't ever tell him how he and Johann Schmidt are similar in their desire to build a]] MasterRace. He's also made a point to target another prominent Nazi, Wilheim "Deathshead" Strasse, and coordinate a set of attacks in an effort to kill him. Unfortunately, Deathshead anticipated Magneto and was able to escape via a decoy. This didn't stop Max, who has made it very clear that he will not stop until he personally sees Deathshead dead on his feet.
** While generally distant from humankind, and was opposed to it before deciding to back off from his hatred and put more of his focus on providing a haven for mutants, Magneto is rather respectful of any soldiers who fought against the Nazis in World War II, such as both Second Battalions of East and Charlie Company, Richard Winters, Roland Spiers, Robert Zussman, Mike Powell, Jack Barnes, and Boyd Travers. He knows they're all human, but they did try to put an end to the persecution that was going on in the Holocaust and were kind and considerate to the Jews who were persecuted for their beliefs. On an extended note, he also appreciates Captain America, being the only superhero Magneto would admit to liking to a degree aside from Charles. After all, he did use a device that removes anti-mutant sentiments on Cap... and he remained unchanged, causing Magneto to surrender out of shame for being an oppressor. He still retains his respect for Cap in the Pantheon, though he's not really on good terms with the Avengers, even if he's making an effort to not antagonize them.
** As a WWII survivor, he greatly sympathizes with Sophie Zawistowski, who also pities the mutant's tragic circumstances. That said, the two don't talk all that often, mainly because Sophie saw Magneto's relationship with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver as abusive and she could never accept his aims and goals, as well-intentioned as they seem. While he wishes that Sophie never had to make a choice between which of her children should be led to their death, he did pose a question that if she would have been willing to send them to a resistance force in an attempt to aid Jewish survivors, a question that she didn't answer because she likely would have said yes. On the other hand, he found Jojo Betzler rather amusing; he wanted to be a Nazi and conjured an imaginary Hitler to be his friend and teacher, but soon realized that he was too good-hearted and conflicted to really be indoctrinated and eventually forsake any attempt at being a Nazi, especially after his mother was hanged for conspiracy and a Jewish girl named Elsa Korr eventually befriended and pointed out that he didn't have the makings of a Nazi. Magneto found the boy to be a bit charming in his own precocious way and wishes him luck for a good future as it was something he wished he had when WWII ended, but beyond that, the two don't really talk with one another as Jojo would likely keep his distant from Max due to his feared reputation.
** While he has little to say regarding the Homunculi, he does pay special attention to King Bradley. There is a problem in that Bradley happens to be a popular and beloved figure in his home country of Amestris, but the fact that he was given the Führer ticks the mutant off and got a little suspicious. As a result, Magneto is one of the few who knows that Bradley is the Homunculus, Wrath, and not only does he serve a HumanoidAbomination who obsessively desires to become God, but was also a figurehead in the Ishvalan Civil War where he oversaw the Ishvalans becoming subject to ethnic cleansing. With this information, Magneto confronted Bradley, where the latter noted that the former was a wrathful man, much like himself, but chides him for trying to see himself as "godlike" for mutants, calling his attempts a "pompous, childish act to make himself feel better". As much as Magneto wanted to kill Bradley, he realized that he would become a public enemy to Amestris and instead called him out for being a tyrant whose not exactly as good as the country makes him out to be, but Bradley kept his composure and coldly stated that what Magneto did during his villain days aren't so different from a tyrant. Despite his buttons being pressed, Max kept his composure and said that he will expose Bradley as the criminal he is. Magneto knows he can kill him easily, but he can play the long game if he so desires. On the other hand, Scar, one of the Ishvalan survivors who decided to use alchemy to fight back his aggressors managed ti earn the mutant's respect and while the two hardly ever speak, if mainly because of Scar's wariness towards him, Max is content on letting his story in the Pantheon unfold.
** While they are not Nazis, Magneto came to dislike the Imperium of Man greatly because their attempts at defending Earth were driven out of fear and revulsion towards anything that was extraterrestrial and then this extended towards the idea of mutants who developed psychic powers and were treated as bad omens as they were considered an attraction for the Forces of Chaos to come to invade their worlds. Even with other mutants such as Ogryns, Rattlings, and Navigators being accepted for militaristic purposes, Magneto wasn't fazed and criticized the Imperium for treating their mutants like trash at best and executing them like witches at worst as well as insulting them for being bad examples for upholding humanity. The Imperium, learning of Max's past, retorted that [[{{Hypocrite}} he's not one to be claiming this]], considering his own attempt at subjugating humans for mutant dominance and even treating his own minions poorly, not to mention what Magneto has gone through is tame compared to the countless hordes of daemon and extraterrestrial invasions and internal strifes and betrayals they've endured and that they're fighting to prevent their world and potentially the universe from being destroyed. Magneto was pissed to hear that, thinking the Imperium is undermining the tragedies of the Holocaust and furthering his disdain for them. As a result, both parties can barely see one another, let alone cooperate, even if they end up having a mutual for to attend to.
* While he is intrigued by the fact that there are races in the Pantheon similar to the mutants of his world, Magneto affirms that they are his biggest priority and champions them above everything else and generally doesn't put too much involvement in other superpowered beings, which is something his friend Charles tends to partake in more actively. That said, Max does take interest in a couple of beings if their tale, powers, and circumstances pique his curiosity enough. Two such figures were the inheritors of One for All, Toshinori Yagi and Izuku Midoriya, who used their powers to inspire hope and be renowned heroes. He had a rather awkward encounter with the two, with Midoriya being rather cautious given Magneto's history as a villain and supremacist, but the latter was able to remain civil and polite with his new guests, offering to talk to All Might about the philosophies of strength, survival, and determination. Surprisingly, their conversation was affable and both parties agreed on the makings of a good leader and drive to fight for others, but All Might affirmed that he fights for the happiness and joy of others and Midoriya followed that he wants to help others see the best in themselves and he wants to provide a source of hope like his predecessors. Nice makings of a hero, sure, but Magneto declared that heroism and villainy didn't matter; what was most important to him was the survival and prosperity of mutants, but he did respect his guests before he took off. While uncertain and wary, All Might admits that he does genuinely desire a better world and can agree with that, though his methods are something he would disagree on.
** Sometime later, All Might and Midoriya became friends with Professor X and the latter was eager to establish working relations between mutants and quirk possessors in an effort to further his desire where mutants can live peacefully. Magneto caught wind of this and approached the U.A's flagship heroes again. In private, Max told them that he did some research and revealed that he knows about their past, how they got their powers, and the source of One for All's powers, but holds no interest in the power. Midoriya also told Magneto that he and All Might know of his history with Charles and guessed that this is a reason why he tends to be friendly with them despite their differences in belief, which Magneto admitted as despite their opposition, he values his friendship with Charles and would respect whatever decision he makes. He told Midoriya that he has the guts for sticking up to his ideals in spite of being quirkless before his encounter with All Might and his determination would be something any mutant leader would want. Midoriya responded with an awkward thanks, but he said that he wishes Magneto was a hero like his friend, something that he found difficult to answer. They're still not allies, but the two wielders of One for All do try to keep in contact with the mutant and while they have different thoughts on how to protect the world, they do sympathize with Magneto's past while he himself admits to Charles that he respects the two heroes a bit, if mainly because they remind him of his friend, to Charles's amusement and delight.
* Not everyone is subject to being approached by Magneto in the hopes of the mutant wanting to express and fulfill his curiosity. At one point, he himself was approached, on this occasion, by a man named Asimov, who led a team called QUILL to defeat the Sumeragi Group, an organization that targeted beings with special psychic powers known as Adepts and subjected them to torture and unethical experimentation in their attempt to cow and force them into their servitude and use their power to hold world dominance. That would be fine, had it not been for the fact that Asimov, an Adept himself, actually wanted to spearhead Adept dominance over the world and destroy mankind in the process. Magneto noted the similarities but also figured that Asimov was more blunt and irate about his intentions, seeing as he would kill his closest collaborator, Gunvolt when he refused to accept his true desires. As Asimov wanted to strike an alliance, Magneto appeared to accept, if mainly because their goals do align to a degree and Asimov respects his command and power, but the mutant does have his issues with the Adept and that killing all humans is not going to benefit him in the long run, not to mention genocide doesn't really sit well him. Finally, in the event that Asimov becomes Demezel, Magneto is quick to cut all ties with him and come to an opposition; he can manage Asimov due to his marksmanship and leadership skills, but someone too drunk on his power and espousing delusions of godhood is not a good alliance and a detriment, not to mention how Demezel would want Magneto to bend his knee towards him, something that he scathes with disgust.
* No stranger to the DC Universe and intrigued by its many races including metahumans and Atlantans, Magneto has met with Barry Allen and Arthur Curry and he expressed respect for their powers and asserting some authority in wanting to uphold the positive standards of their race. Barry and Arthur were hesitant in accepting thanks but knew better than to trifle against someone who was declared an Omega-level mutant and went along with it. While both are wary of Magneto, Barry does express his sympathies for what he's gone through and can understand the loss of family, given that his own mother's death was an event that haunted him, and is happy to see that Magneto does try to protect the world, even if he's unscrupulous about it. Arthur is a bit more complicated and Magneto admits that Aquaman reminds him of [[Pantheon/{{Anger}} Namor]], except the King of Atlantis is easier to get along with. Arthur can get behind his attempts in defending Earth, though his supremacist side does remind the Atlantean of his brother [[Pantheon/{{Heirs}} Orm]] who tends to have severe sibling issues with him most of the time. Finally, there are Superman and Supergirl, who do share and empathize with Magneto's plights, but also criticize him for his cynicism and occasional tics of racial supremacy. Magneto personally sees the Kryptonians as a loose ally; he and Kara have their disagreements and he can respect her strength, but even he admits that Kal-El is as good as everyone says, sometimes comparing him to his friend Charles regarding their compassion. Still, the mutant would rather keep a professional relationship with the Kryptonians than an antagonistic one regardless of their uneasy thoughts for one another. After all, they have a similar goal and he knows that many of his enemies are also shared with most heroes.
** If Magneto is a mutant supremacist, then Gorilla Grodd qualifies as a gorilla supremacist, but unlike the former, he's a lot more open about his hatred towards mankind and seeks to either drive them to extinction or bend their minds to his will, so that he could take over Earth for himself. The fact that Grodd has similar psychic powers as Professor X did tick Magneto off and the two quickly ended up hating each other upon their first encounter; Magneto is disgusted by Grodd's hatred, attempts at genocide, and clearly not giving a damn about anybody so long as they are useful tools to
* Learning about conduits, Magneto personally decided to meet with Delsin Rowe, interested in knowing about how the young man went from being a small-time criminal to the man who would free conduits from persecution and dismantle the oppressive authority held against them by the DUP and Brooke Augustine. Delsin was rather chatty, often referring to Max as "magnet-man" while Magneto kept his composure and decided to fight Delsin as his way of assessing his ability. They had a massive battle that nearly destroyed a coastal outpost, with the match drawing after Magneto forfeited. He apologized to Delsin for nearly killing him once he noticed the man's annoyance, but then praised his powers and determination, feeling that he would make a good leader. Whether a true

** Much like with Croc and Carrie, Magneto also took pity on Tetsuo Shima, though their first encounter wasn't exactly pretty, to say the least. [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle Max was simply visiting a ruined part of Japan, which was caused by Tetsuo, who attacked the former for intruding in his territory. Though the fight was tough, Tetsuo succumbed to his mutation and was losing his sanity, panicking and pleading for Magneto to quickly end him, a wish that was granted, albeit hesitantly]]. He doesn't take pride in killing Tetsuo, even if it had to be done, and desired to talk to him again in the

While
* Apparently, he was friends with Paul [=McCartney=] of all people, something that Magneto was confused by and once decided to get down on what was it that surrounded this phenomenon. As it turns out, there was a song called ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq9z7D8HKZo Magneto and Titanium Man]]'' written by Paul, who happened to be a fan of comic books and Magneto as a fictional comic character. The song chronicles how Magneto, despite his friendship with [=McCartney=] tagged along with Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo to spread lies about Paul's girlfriend being a criminal when she was actually an honest and fair cop. Now with both figures being in the Pantheon, Magneto wondered what exactly was he going to get out of tricking Paul into believing in his lies, but then again, he came from a world where Magneto was a fictional character classified as a supervillain, although a sympathetic one for the most part and was one of popular media's most celebrated antagonists. Still, Magneto does enjoy some form of art and respects Paul's work as a solo artist and as a member of Music/TheBeatles, but affirmed that the song about him was rather awkward to think about.

* Respected By: [[Pantheon/SoldiersAndWarriors The Doom Slayer]]
* Their story begins during the UsefulNotes/IndustrialRevolution, which this universe's Alchemists Guild was in very strong opposition. To this end, they resorted to trying to summon demons, among them the Demon King Bael, in order to scare the masses away from relying on technology, and their method involved crystals filled with demon energy called Shards. They infused these Shards to abducted orphaned children, making them Shardbinders, and Miriam and Gebel were among them. These children were raised to fight demons and disciplined to obey the guild. Years later, the time came for the summoning ritual, and the Guild would successfully summon their demon army at the expense of all their Shardbinders, save two. Miriam and Gebel would miraculously survive, he by sheer willpower and fortune [[spoiler:and having an exorcist in his ancestry]], and she by being put into slumber by [[spoiler:the repentant Alfred]] in order to cut in half the power of the ritual, thus denying at least the summoning of Bael. The Guild's plan was a colossal backfire as their intended plan did not come to fruition (and caused a calamity), the Church (after quelling that calamity) executed its higher-ups, and the remnants would be hunted down in their own Guild by none other than Gebel himself [[spoiler:(though Alfred would escape before then)]]. The last waking Shardbinder vanished after that, Miriam continued sleeping, and the Guild apprentice Johannes—who was close to the two—studied the effects of the shards with Dominique Baldwin, an agent of the Church, and predicted that Miriam would wake in 10 years.
** Just as that time came, Gebel returned, brought a castle called the Hellhold with him, and summoned a legion of demons to ravage Earth in revenge for what mankind has done to the Shardbinders so long ago. With Miriam awake, she, Johannes, and Dominique (the former two on a galleon, the latter separately) set off to Arvantville, which was close to the Hellhold. As the only other Shardbinder left, Miriam has to be the one to put a stop to Gebel, and the two had even made a promise long ago that if either of them lost their way, [[FightingYourFriend the other would stop them]]. On the way, they were beset by demons, and upon vanquishing them, their Shards forced themselves into Miriam, granting her their powers, but also running the risk of the crystals overtaking her body [[spoiler:though this is put into question [[BitchInSheepsClothing given the source]] of this factoid]]. However, upon Miriam and Gebel first meeting each other again after so long, it seems he's forgotten that promise, and wants Miriam to join him so they can sequester themselves away from mankind. Naturally, she refused, and he dared her to ask him again after absorbing more Shards before departing.
** Throughout her journey, she would be forced to absorb Shards from slain demons to acquire their powers, cross paths with Guild remnant and Johannes' master Alfred who seems obsessed with reclaiming the Liber Logaeth, cross blades with the Oriental demon hunter Zangetsu (and eventually earn his trust), help villagers with their woes, trade with Johannes, Dominique, and a few other kooky benign demons for wares, supplies, and services. All the while, Gebel waited, hoping Miriam would see things his way and join her side.
** In the end, [[spoiler:the True End where Gremory is outed as being the one actually controlling Gebel, he's just bait for Miriam who's the true target the entire time, as well as Dominique being revealed to have been working against Miriam all along]], Gebel returned to his senses and thanked Miriam [[spoiler:only to fully crystallize in the end]], Miriam put a stop to the real mastermind [[spoiler: Gremory (with Zangetsu's help), [[TheManBehindTheMan the woman behind her]] Dominique, who sought to summon Bael in order to kill God due to losing faith in Him]], then had the Hellhold sent back from whence it came [[spoiler:by Johannes following instructions left by Alfred]].
* [[VideoGame/BloodstainedCurseOfTheMoon While there's an alternate tale featuring almost all the main cast]] [[spoiler:where Gebel does survive]], this Miriam and Gebel come from one timeline, and following their ascension is a TearJerker of a reunion given [[spoiler:there was no way to save Gebel from death]]. Still, they have {{Ghost Memor|y}}ies of that timeline, which can be confusing given that [[spoiler:Gebel and Alfred are still alive in that mortal realm[[labelnote:*]]Zangetsu is already confirmed to have escaped Gremory's trap eventually[[/labelnote]] and Dominique ''isn't'' secretly evil]], as well as the ability to Mascotify.
* Applies to both:
** With the help of Johannes [[spoiler:and some of Alfred's suggested improvements before his mortal passing]], Miriam no longer has to worry about the Shards inside her from overtaking her body, [[spoiler:and the same privilege is now applied to Gebel after his resurrection, to the state he was in before Gremory abandoned him]]. All the Shards they've acquired thus far is all that will be available: there will be no additional Shards in the Pantheon, and both wouldn't have it any other way.
** In terms of their residency, Miriam and Gebel's temple takes the form of Arvantville where Miriam stayed during her battle against the demons, and a few elements of the Hellhold, including Gebel's throne room, O.D.'s library [[spoiler:after Miriam ended up taking him in as a servant when she forgot to return a certain book to him before wrapping things up with Gremory, and he engaged her in a battle that she just barely won]], and Todd's room. The latter elements are hidden away so as to not distress the villagers, and Gebel's status as instigator of the incident is kept a secret from them; all they know about Gebel is that he's a friend of Miriam, and that he has a terrible affliction. Johannes resides at the village [[spoiler:with Alfred, who's BackFromTheDead thanks to the Pantheon]]. Miriam was surprised to see the Demon Barber among her Gebel's heralds. He responds that he still needs her help to cut [[NumberOfTheBeast 666]] hair styles, and that such a feat was [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse unresolvable during their time at the Hellhold]]. Hopefully he'll have better luck in the Pantheon, and hopefully she might discover more hairstyles for him to cut (for her or anyone else who visits and isn't afraid of him).
** As for what Mascotify is, it's a (non-Shard powered) ability that transforms them into an invincible box that hovers around another person as long as they're within a set distance, and back at the "escorter's" present location. This way, the "carried" can be escorted around difficult areas easier without worrying about getting hurt or the risk of crumbling bridges, but their life is now linked to the "escorter" during this, and their death would also mean the death of the "carried".
** When it comes to dealing with people who think being altered with anything non-human automatically makes someone less than human, or when faced with prejudice for involuntary transformation, Gebel has some words of wisdom he once told Miriam when she had lost her will to live before he snapped her out of it. As a result, they have dim opinions on those who [[BlamingTheVictim blame the victims]] for their condition, harbor empathy for the altered who [[ProhumanTransHuman still hold on to their humanity]] however they can, and hold contempt for those who either [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse use their condition as an excuse for terrible things]] or if they [[TranshumanTreachery willingly throw away their capacity to care for others]]. Gebel's words were as follows.
--> '''Gebel:''' If we ask for the demons' power, ''then'' we're monsters. But if people force us to take it, then our power doesn't make us good or bad. Our choices do. That freedom of choice is proof we're human.
** On top of corroding their bodies, Shards also make them susceptible to DemonicPossession. With plenty of powerful demons in the Pantheon, this means both Gebel and Miriam are at risk if they ever take on any of the powerful ones. The only reason Miriam dodged those particular bullets back then is because [[spoiler:Gremory—once she was ousted from Gebel—pursued the Liber Logaeth, then was sealed in a room by Zangetsu before taking him away, and then Miriam used the demon hunter's sword to send her back to whence she came, and Bael already took Dominique as a host by the time he encountered Miriam.]] As a result, it's now become ironic that despite their powers meant for slaying demons, Miriam and Gebel are unable to go out and do that without proper countermeasures first, of which they will hopefully find in the Pantheon.
** Given their story is apparently a SpiritualSuccessor to the ''Castlevania'' series, it was inevitable that Miriam and Gebel would be approached by the Belmont Clan and their allies. And given the fact that Alucard is one of their allies, they all (with varying degrees of caution, or full trust) accepted the male Shardbinder after Miriam vouched for him. Naturally, this made them enemies with the Clan's archenemy Dracula as well. Speaking of Alucard, during a duel between him and Miriam, it was apparent that for some reason she already knew how to fight [[CaptainErsatz someone like him]]. She explained about O.D. [[spoiler:and how [[BonusBoss she had to fight him]] [[FelonyMisdemeanor after forgetting to return one of his books]]]].
** Miriam's first encounter with Shovel Knight ended up as a clash, because she had assumed he was a stray small Shovel Armor demon, and because an Itazura Griefer deceived her for laughs. She then assumed he was some sort of elite variant after he started using his Relics as well as him asking her why are they fighting. It was only through interference by Shield Knight was the misunderstanding cleared, and Miriam profusely apologized for it. Shovel Knight let the matter slide, complimented Miriam's skill, and they parted ways as allies. They were easy to convince of Gebel's turn back to good, given Shield Knight was similarly brainwashed before into the Enchantress.
** Another fight borne from a misunderstanding came from Dante Sparda, and actually mirrored the first time Miriam met Zangetsu. However, this fight would slow down after Miriam discovered that Dante clearly wasn’t taking the fight seriously and was almost literally playing around (his cocky grin making it more evident), and she made her frustration clear. They had a brief talk after that, and they eventually got a better understanding of one another. Dante also found Miriam's mastery over numerous different weapons fun and entertaining. Afterward, Dante decided to introduce her and Gebel to other Demon Slayers... as soon as a countermeasure for DemonicPossession is found (and they eventually do).
*** Gebel's actions [[spoiler:under Gremory's brainwashing]] brought chilled receptions from these other demon slayers, and required a lot of convincing from Miriam that he's on the up and up now. The Doom Slayer's helmet-obscured glare unnerved even the male Shardbinder, but he understood his words [[spoiler:given a demon also helped him]]. Bayonetta kind of understands Gebel's situation given her Father Balder [[spoiler:was also under MindControl all along before being freed from it by her, though there was also time travel involved on his end]], so it's a bit confusing. Princess Sakuna is more concerned with Gebel's ability to summon demons than whether or not he (or Miriam) can be trusted, but she'll hold the female Shardbinder to her word. The Winchester brothers and Castiel—given all their troubles with demons (not to mention [[{{Pantheon/Planning}} Crowley]] entangling himself in their affairs and them in his several times over)—have difficulty trusting either of them, even Miriam, despite her best efforts, though they won't stop them when fighting the same foes. Flynn trusts them, and himself summons demons anyway. [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} The Demi-Fiend]] doesn't have any particular opinions for ''or'' against them, but wishes to test his might against them one day. Hoss Delgado, for all his boneheadedness, shares the same opinions as the harvest-war goddess; doesn't quite trust Gebel, but will hold Miriam to her word that he's not evil anymore, and they're fine as long as neither of them summon any demons around him.
** Despite no longer having to worry about corruption from their Shards, that doesn't mean certain parties (mostly from the Houses of Knowledge and Magic) won’t be interested in them, and may try to use them, or capture them for experiments. Most attempts from evil or insensitive people have usually ended with a plethora of demons from Gebel coming their way, and neither he nor Miriam are slouches by any measure in fending off personal attacks. That's not to say there aren't any benign interested parties who wish to learn about Shards, but most of them know better than to press the subject given how traumatic and disastrous their childhoods were. On a lighter note, [[Pantheon/MagicCasters Marisa Kirisame]] has been seen eyeing them whenever they're in battle, trying to learn to emulate their techniques for herself.
*** Merlin's also expressed great interest in them given his origins. In fact, their Shards are something he considers unique and new, something he hasn’t seen or experienced before. As a reward for this new experience, he provided the Shardbinders with an enchantment that would ward off DemonicPossession as a result of their Shards. It ''did'' take the form of a Shard for each of them however, but unlike all other Shards, these ones did not cause any pain upon insertion. And with Merlin’s status as powerful wizard and seer, he has learned everything others know, will know, and also things they will never know about Shards from a first glance. Merlin also complimented their Herald Johannes in his skills in alchemy, successfully creating and replicating powerful weapons, like the Carnwennan.
** On top of malicious demons, the Shardbinders eventually had to contend with zealous angels as well, particularly those under YHVH and Paradiso. And in more complicated matters, the latter's counterparts the Demons of Inferno also get involved, and they usually target Miriam more given how many demons she's slain while also trying to curry favor with Gebel, who rebuffs them at every turn. And while [[spoiler: Dominique was a traitor to her faith]], [[KnightTemplar those overzealous in their belief in God that lead to depraved acts]] are no better, such as Judge Frollo for his lust and his desire to purge gypsies, and William Stryker for claiming oppression from people different from ordinary humans. Alexander Anderson however is a unique case; he wishes to strike down Gebel for the whole Hellhold affair, but as long as she's not with him, he's perfectly fine with Miriam's presence given how she [[spoiler:not only laid Gebel to rest in the mortal realm, but stopped the heretic Dominique as well from successfully bringing Baal to Earth]].
** As for working alongside people of the Catholic Church, given Miriam did work on their behalf [[spoiler:assuming Dominique wasn't pulling a solo operation unbeknownst to even Johannes]], similar problems were encountered as with the demon hunters given Gebel's actions. Given he has an ally demon, Rosette already has confidence in Miriam that Gebel really won't turn against them. The same goes for Elsa la Conti and Clarice di Lanza, the latter of whom is a demon herself. [[Pantheon/Warhammer40000 The Imperium of Man]] is better off avoided entirely due to their fanaticism.
%% ** ([[green:Look more into the current Magical Characters we have, to see if I can pinpoint any mages or alchemists that that bare any similarities to the Alchemists in Bloodstained. Also look into Miriam's weapons, armor and accessories. There are a number of Named Weapons (of the Mythical theme). Look deeper so I can pinpoint some more character interactions.]])
%% ** ([[green:Interactions with the Elric Bros. and the Homunculi given their history with Alchemy]].)
* Exclusive to Miriam:
** Is well-versed in all sorts of weapons: kicking, daggers, swords, clubs, greatswords, axes, staves, spears, whips, and firearms. Her bullets for the last can range from mundane hollow-points to elemental or diamond-made, and even if she runs out (which it won't when Miriam has the [[https://bloodstained.fandom.com/wiki/Headgear Recycle Hat]] on), she has the Infinite Rounds, though they're much weaker. As such, whenever she's honing her skills in the House of Weapons, you can find her in just about any of its Halls.
** She can empathize with those who [[EvilStoleMyFaith lost their faith in God]] after suffering great loss, such as [[Pantheon/{{Goals}} Setsuna F. Seiei]] (who accepted her compassion and decided it wouldn't be bad to be friends), [[Pantheon/HeroicActions Mal Reynolds]] (who saw no problem with her, as long as she has no reason to intervene in his crew's... way of life), [[Pantheon/{{Firearms}} Revy]] ([[DontYouDarePityMe who rebuffed her]], but sees no reason to antagonize Miriam any further than that), and [[Pantheon/MetalAndMinerals Magneto]] (who accepts her sympathies, but warns that they may sometimes end up clashing), but it still doesn't excuse [[FaithHeelTurn turning against their own kind]] and/or setting loose demons, [[spoiler:as Dominique Baldwin had]]. She also opposes those who seek godhood for selfish reasons or wish to kill gods. Unless said gods are malevolent, such as YHVH [[spoiler: or Chuck Shurley]]. %% ** On top of her talents in combat, Miriam is also a [[ElegantClassicalMusician talented pianist]], and may occasionally play some tunes when she has the time. If her summoned Familiar is a Carabosse, [[https://youtu.be/RqdQcfSg2BI she will sing along]].
** Wants to make sure that if someone needs to use a Waystone or some other one-use teleportation item that doesn't already have a set destination locked (such as a [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} Scroll of Town Portal]]), the user should have their destination in the forefront of their mind and nothing else. She's had to deal with someone who got lost a few more times due to getting distracted. Miriam also takes great care to return any borrowed books and makes sure others do the same. [[spoiler:Orlok Dracule's BonusBoss fight taught her the hard way, even though it did grant her the [[ColourCodedTimestop Standstill Shard]], as well as O.D.'s services]].
** As someone who's also had to fight against a brother figure who did everything for them but lost themselves to the power they have, in addition to [[spoiler: coming to their senses just as they were defeated and passing away]], Miriam got along well with Shanoa. They also discovered that they both help townspeople in their adventures, use shards/glyphs embedded in their skin, and were both taken in as a child by a demon/dracula-worshipping organization who tried to use her to summon forth said demons/dracula at the cost of her life (and thankfully didn't come to pass). Miriam also got along well with Soma Cruz given their ability to acquire abilities from enemies (souls for Soma, Shards for Miriam), their expertise with multiple melee weapons, and their antagonists trying to urge them to absorb as many as possible so they can become more powerful, and while their special abilities is seen as a weapon that can be used for evil, they both wanted nothing to do with it and use it to fight for good. They also both have alternate fates where they fell to the dark side. %% ** The Aqua Stream Shard is Miriam's primary means of traversing underwater, and she can use it with impunity while down there. It helps that she has SuperNotDrowningSkills.
** Another notable Shard of hers is [[https://bloodstained.fandom.com/wiki/Summon_Chair Summon Chair]], where she does exactly that, and can spawn several at a time. They're not just for show, for they can regenerate mana while one is seated on such a chair, but these chairs are temporary and will disappear when Miriam leaves the area or she dismisses it manually. When she has to wait for any reason, and is unable to find an adequate seat or needs to replenish her mana, Miriam will use this Shard instead, and may be convinced to summon more for others, though she doesn't yet know if their restorative properties will apply to ''their'' magic if they have any.
** When in a pinch, and there's a lot of blood spilled, she has the Blood Steal Shard to heal herself with that blood. Unlike other blood-related magics, it cannot affect blood ''still inside the body''; it has to be already spilt. This makes battles against her in the House of Slaughter or in slaughterhouses in her favor as there is plenty to absorb. On occasion, the Aerospace Sanitation Janitor appreciates her company if she has the time to clean up blood (leaving just the rest of the junk), making their job easier even for just a day.
** Was once read a tale back as a child that's similar to her own adventure, except the protagonist was a redheaded girl named Aurora. [[AllJustADream It was just a story on Miriam's side of the tale]], [[OrWasItADream but what of on the Child of Light's end?]] According to Aurora at least (who regarded Miriam with caution at first, having only met her Doppelganger before), this tale rings true on her side, taking place just after she vanquished Queen Umbra, and crossed the mirror back to her home kingdom, [[spoiler:which was about to be swallowed by floodwater]]. She was taken to this realm instead, her friends turned into Shards, and Aurora regressed to a child once more. Still, by fighting the demons of the castle, she slowly regained her lost power, and eventually [[spoiler:stopped Dominique and Bael, and on doing so was spirited (with her friends back to normal) back to her intended destination; her kingdom in Austria, in time to evacuate her people to Lemuria]]. As for the two Shardbinders, Aurora gets along with them well, even Gebel (since she somehow deduced his real situation), but also laments that [[spoiler: his fate (and she was aware of his…controlled state) was no different in Aurora's side of the story than in Miriam's]].
* Exclusive to Gebel:
** Despite his redemption, his faith in humanity is yet to be [[RestoredMyFaithInHumanity entirely restored]] due to all the sins the Alchemist Guild committed, and mostly keeps to himself unless he's accompanying Miriam, or when receiving visitors who wish to see him personally. An Anonymous Group that consisted of those who regained faith in people, such as [[Pantheon/OptimismAndPessimism Hotel Transylvania owner Count Dracula]], [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith Joshua]], [[Pantheon/{{Touring}} AZ]], and [[Pantheon/PredecessorsAndMentors Azmuth]] (when he has the time), have thought of inviting him over to talk about this. With encouragement from Miriam, he decided to accept these invitations.
** When it comes to what Shards he has, besides those he showed during his boss fight, given all the demons he's summoned, it's highly likely that he has most of the same Shards as Miriam, though some that she has are definitely unavailable to him as they are either optional, or are acquired after [[spoiler:Gremory was outed]]. Speaking of summoned demons, he is still able to do that, having first known to have done it when he hunted down the remainder of the Alchemists Guild that had experimented on him and Miriam so long ago. As for weaponry, it's not known if he's even a MultiMeleeMaster like Miriam, given all the training Shardbinders are subjected to, but he usually defaults to a sword, or sending out bats from his cape.
** As someone else who suffered abusive experiments from those who made him who he is, and eventually rebelled against them before turning on all humanity for a while before being convinced to abandon that line of thinking, Gebel actually finds a kindred soul in Mewtwo. The Genetic Pokémon can see this too and finds his words to Miriam wise even if it can't apply to Mewtwo himself since he never was human.
** Having heard of him from Bayonetta, Gebel has considered visiting Father Balder, but the stances of their powers made him concerned given the Church's stance against demons [[spoiler:and Dominique may have been working alone when she concocted that plot with Gremory]]. However, Balder himself had no problems seeking him out after hearing of the Shardbinders through the proverbial grapevine. After all, he ''did'' fall in love with and marry an Umbra Witch, so the concept of someone benevolent who consorts with demons isn't foreign.
** Given [[spoiler:what Gremory did to him]], and her pride in her heritage [[spoiler:stained by that act against him]], Rias Gremory made contact with him and [[spoiler:wanted to apologize for what Gremory did and forced him to do]]. Gebel in turn had a few problems the first time around, in a combination of trauma and horror of what happened to him [[spoiler:and with what he did because of Gremory]], but at the same time he's more upset with himself since Rias had no involvement with what happened, and recognizes her to be a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent literal different demon]], so he shouldn't even place her in the same category, and eventually warmed up to her.

* Respected By: [[Pantheon/SoldiersAndWarriors The Doom Slayer]]
* Their story begins during the UsefulNotes/IndustrialRevolution, which this universe's Alchemists Guild was in very strong opposition. To this end, they resorted to trying to summon demons, among them the Demon King Bael, in order to scare the masses away from relying on technology, and their method involved crystals filled with demon energy called Shards. They infused these Shards to abducted orphaned children, making them Shardbinders, and Miriam and Gebel were among them. These children were raised to fight demons and disciplined to obey the guild. Years later, the time came for the summoning ritual, and the Guild would successfully summon their demon army at the expense of all their Shardbinders, save two. Miriam and Gebel would miraculously survive, he by sheer willpower and fortune [[spoiler:and having an exorcist in his ancestry]], and she by being put into slumber by [[spoiler:the repentant Alfred]] in order to cut in half the power of the ritual, thus denying at least the summoning of Bael. The Guild's plan was a colossal backfire as their intended plan did not come to fruition (and caused a calamity), the Church (after quelling that calamity) executed its higher-ups, and the remnants would be hunted down in their own Guild by none other than Gebel himself [[spoiler:(though Alfred would escape before then)]]. The last waking Shardbinder vanished after that, Miriam continued sleeping, and the Guild apprentice Johannes—who was close to the two—studied the effects of the shards with Dominique Baldwin, an agent of the Church, and predicted that Miriam would wake in 10 years.
** Just as that time came, Gebel returned, brought a castle called the Hellhold with him, and summoned a legion of demons to ravage Earth in revenge for what mankind has done to the Shardbinders so long ago. With Miriam awake, she, Johannes, and Dominique (the former two on a galleon, the latter separately) set off to Arvantville, which was close to the Hellhold. As the only other Shardbinder left, Miriam has to be the one to put a stop to Gebel, and the two had even made a promise long ago that if either of them lost their way, [[FightingYourFriend the other would stop them]]. On the way, they were beset by demons, and upon vanquishing them, their Shards forced themselves into Miriam, granting her their powers, but also running the risk of the crystals overtaking her body [[spoiler:though this is put into question [[BitchInSheepsClothing given the source]] of this factoid]]. However, upon Miriam and Gebel first meeting each other again after so long, it seems he's forgotten that promise, and wants Miriam to join him so they can sequester themselves away from mankind. Naturally, she refused, and he dared her to ask him again after absorbing more Shards before departing.
** Throughout her journey, she would be forced to absorb Shards from slain demons to acquire their powers, cross paths with Guild remnant and Johannes' master Alfred who seems obsessed with reclaiming the Liber Logaeth, cross blades with the Oriental demon hunter Zangetsu (and eventually earn his trust), help villagers with their woes, trade with Johannes, Dominique, and a few other kooky benign demons for wares, supplies, and services. All the while, Gebel waited, hoping Miriam would see things his way and join her side.
** In the end, [[spoiler:the True End where Gremory is outed as being the one actually controlling Gebel, he's just bait for Miriam who's the true target the entire time, as well as Dominique being revealed to have been working against Miriam all along]], Gebel returned to his senses and thanked Miriam [[spoiler:only to fully crystallize in the end]], Miriam put a stop to the real mastermind [[spoiler: Gremory (with Zangetsu's help), [[TheManBehindTheMan the woman behind her]] Dominique, who sought to summon Bael in order to kill God due to losing faith in Him]], then had the Hellhold sent back from whence it came [[spoiler:by Johannes following instructions left by Alfred]].
* [[VideoGame/BloodstainedCurseOfTheMoon While there's an alternate tale featuring almost all the main cast]] [[spoiler:where Gebel does survive]], this Miriam and Gebel come from one timeline, and following their ascension is a TearJerker of a reunion given [[spoiler:there was no way to save Gebel from death]]. Still, they have {{Ghost Memor|y}}ies of that timeline, which can be confusing given that [[spoiler:Gebel and Alfred are still alive in that mortal realm[[labelnote:*]]Zangetsu is already confirmed to have escaped Gremory's trap eventually[[/labelnote]] and Dominique ''isn't'' secretly evil]], as well as the ability to Mascotify.
* Applies to both:
** With the help of Johannes [[spoiler:and some of Alfred's suggested improvements before his mortal passing]], Miriam no longer has to worry about the Shards inside her from overtaking her body, [[spoiler:and the same privilege is now applied to Gebel after his resurrection, to the state he was in before Gremory abandoned him]]. All the Shards they've acquired thus far is all that will be available: there will be no additional Shards in the Pantheon, and both wouldn't have it any other way.
** In terms of their residency, Miriam and Gebel's temple takes the form of Arvantville where Miriam stayed during her battle against the demons, and a few elements of the Hellhold, including Gebel's throne room, O.D.'s library [[spoiler:after Miriam ended up taking him in as a servant when she forgot to return a certain book to him before wrapping things up with Gremory, and he engaged her in a battle that she just barely won]], and Todd's room. The latter elements are hidden away so as to not distress the villagers, and Gebel's status as instigator of the incident is kept a secret from them; all they know about Gebel is that he's a friend of Miriam, and that he has a terrible affliction. Johannes resides at the village [[spoiler:with Alfred, who's BackFromTheDead thanks to the Pantheon]]. Miriam was surprised to see the Demon Barber among her Gebel's heralds. He responds that he still needs her help to cut [[NumberOfTheBeast 666]] hair styles, and that such a feat was [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse unresolvable during their time at the Hellhold]]. Hopefully he'll have better luck in the Pantheon, and hopefully she might discover more hairstyles for him to cut (for her or anyone else who visits and isn't afraid of him).
** As for what Mascotify is, it's a (non-Shard powered) ability that transforms them into an invincible box that hovers around another person as long as they're within a set distance, and back at the "escorter's" present location. This way, the "carried" can be escorted around difficult areas easier without worrying about getting hurt or the risk of crumbling bridges, but their life is now linked to the "escorter" during this, and their death would also mean the death of the "carried".
** When it comes to dealing with people who think being altered with anything non-human automatically makes someone less than human, or when faced with prejudice for involuntary transformation, Gebel has some words of wisdom he once told Miriam when she had lost her will to live before he snapped her out of it. As a result, they have dim opinions on those who [[BlamingTheVictim blame the victims]] for their condition, harbor empathy for the altered who [[ProhumanTransHuman still hold on to their humanity]] however they can, and hold contempt for those who either [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse use their condition as an excuse for terrible things]] or if they [[TranshumanTreachery willingly throw away their capacity to care for others]]. Gebel's words were as follows.
--> '''Gebel:''' If we ask for the demons' power, ''then'' we're monsters. But if people force us to take it, then our power doesn't make us good or bad. Our choices do. That freedom of choice is proof we're human.
** On top of corroding their bodies, Shards also make them susceptible to DemonicPossession. With plenty of powerful demons in the Pantheon, this means both Gebel and Miriam are at risk if they ever take on any of the powerful ones. The only reason Miriam dodged those particular bullets back then is because [[spoiler:Gremory—once she was ousted from Gebel—pursued the Liber Logaeth, then was sealed in a room by Zangetsu before taking him away, and then Miriam used the demon hunter's sword to send her back to whence she came, and Bael already took Dominique as a host by the time he encountered Miriam.]] As a result, it's now become ironic that despite their powers meant for slaying demons, Miriam and Gebel are unable to go out and do that without proper countermeasures first, of which they will hopefully find in the Pantheon.
** Given their story is apparently a SpiritualSuccessor to the ''Castlevania'' series, it was inevitable that Miriam and Gebel would be approached by the Belmont Clan and their allies. And given the fact that Alucard is one of their allies, they all (with varying degrees of caution, or full trust) accepted the male Shardbinder after Miriam vouched for him. Naturally, this made them enemies with the Clan's archenemy Dracula as well. Speaking of Alucard, during a duel between him and Miriam, it was apparent that for some reason she already knew how to fight [[CaptainErsatz someone like him]]. She explained about O.D. [[spoiler:and how [[BonusBoss she had to fight him]] [[FelonyMisdemeanor after forgetting to return one of his books]]]].
** Miriam's first encounter with Shovel Knight ended up as a clash, because she had assumed he was a stray small Shovel Armor demon, and because an Itazura Griefer deceived her for laughs. She then assumed he was some sort of elite variant after he started using his Relics as well as him asking her why are they fighting. It was only through interference by Shield Knight was the misunderstanding cleared, and Miriam profusely apologized for it. Shovel Knight let the matter slide, complimented Miriam's skill, and they parted ways as allies. They were easy to convince of Gebel's turn back to good, given Shield Knight was similarly brainwashed before into the Enchantress.
** Another fight borne from a misunderstanding came from Dante Sparda, and actually mirrored the first time Miriam met Zangetsu. However, this fight would slow down after Miriam discovered that Dante clearly wasn’t taking the fight seriously and was almost literally playing around (his cocky grin making it more evident), and she made her frustration clear. They had a brief talk after that, and they eventually got a better understanding of one another. Dante also found Miriam's mastery over numerous different weapons fun and entertaining. Afterward, Dante decided to introduce her and Gebel to other Demon Slayers... as soon as a countermeasure for DemonicPossession is found (and they eventually do).
*** Gebel's actions [[spoiler:under Gremory's brainwashing]] brought chilled receptions from these other demon slayers, and required a lot of convincing from Miriam that he's on the up and up now. The Doom Slayer's helmet-obscured glare unnerved even the male Shardbinder, but he understood his words [[spoiler:given a demon also helped him]]. Bayonetta kind of understands Gebel's situation given her Father Balder [[spoiler:was also under MindControl all along before being freed from it by her, though there was also time travel involved on his end]], so it's a bit confusing. Princess Sakuna is more concerned with Gebel's ability to summon demons than whether or not he (or Miriam) can be trusted, but she'll hold the female Shardbinder to her word. The Winchester brothers and Castiel—given all their troubles with demons (not to mention [[{{Pantheon/Planning}} Crowley]] entangling himself in their affairs and them in his several times over)—have difficulty trusting either of them, even Miriam, despite her best efforts, though they won't stop them when fighting the same foes. Flynn trusts them, and himself summons demons anyway. [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} The Demi-Fiend]] doesn't have any particular opinions for ''or'' against them, but wishes to test his might against them one day. Hoss Delgado, for all his boneheadedness, shares the same opinions as the harvest-war goddess; doesn't quite trust Gebel, but will hold Miriam to her word that he's not evil anymore, and they're fine as long as neither of them summon any demons around him.
** Despite no longer having to worry about corruption from their Shards, that doesn't mean certain parties (mostly from the Houses of Knowledge and Magic) won’t be interested in them, and may try to use them, or capture them for experiments. Most attempts from evil or insensitive people have usually ended with a plethora of demons from Gebel coming their way, and neither he nor Miriam are slouches by any measure in fending off personal attacks. That's not to say there aren't any benign interested parties who wish to learn about Shards, but most of them know better than to press the subject given how traumatic and disastrous their childhoods were. On a lighter note, [[Pantheon/MagicCasters Marisa Kirisame]] has been seen eyeing them whenever they're in battle, trying to learn to emulate their techniques for herself.
*** Merlin's also expressed great interest in them given his origins. In fact, their Shards are something he considers unique and new, something he hasn’t seen or experienced before. As a reward for this new experience, he provided the Shardbinders with an enchantment that would ward off DemonicPossession as a result of their Shards. It ''did'' take the form of a Shard for each of them however, but unlike all other Shards, these ones did not cause any pain upon insertion. And with Merlin’s status as powerful wizard and seer, he has learned everything others know, will know, and also things they will never know about Shards from a first glance. Merlin also complimented their Herald Johannes in his skills in alchemy, successfully creating and replicating powerful weapons, like the Carnwennan.
** On top of malicious demons, the Shardbinders eventually had to contend with zealous angels as well, particularly those under YHVH and Paradiso. And in more complicated matters, the latter's counterparts the Demons of Inferno also get involved, and they usually target Miriam more given how many demons she's slain while also trying to curry favor with Gebel, who rebuffs them at every turn. And while [[spoiler: Dominique was a traitor to her faith]], [[KnightTemplar those overzealous in their belief in God that lead to depraved acts]] are no better, such as Judge Frollo for his lust and his desire to purge gypsies, and William Stryker for claiming oppression from people different from ordinary humans. Alexander Anderson however is a unique case; he wishes to strike down Gebel for the whole Hellhold affair, but as long as she's not with him, he's perfectly fine with Miriam's presence given how she [[spoiler:not only laid Gebel to rest in the mortal realm, but stopped the heretic Dominique as well from successfully bringing Baal to Earth]].
** As for working alongside people of the Catholic Church, given Miriam did work on their behalf [[spoiler:assuming Dominique wasn't pulling a solo operation unbeknownst to even Johannes]], similar problems were encountered as with the demon hunters given Gebel's actions. Given he has an ally demon, Rosette already has confidence in Miriam that Gebel really won't turn against them. The same goes for Elsa la Conti and Clarice di Lanza, the latter of whom is a demon herself. [[Pantheon/Warhammer40000 The Imperium of Man]] is better off avoided entirely due to their fanaticism.
%% ** ([[green:Look more into the current Magical Characters we have, to see if I can pinpoint any mages or alchemists that that bare any similarities to the Alchemists in Bloodstained. Also look into Miriam's weapons, armor and accessories. There are a number of Named Weapons (of the Mythical theme). Look deeper so I can pinpoint some more character interactions.]])
%% ** ([[green:Interactions with the Elric Bros. and the Homunculi given their history with Alchemy]].)
* Exclusive to Miriam:
** Is well-versed in all sorts of weapons: kicking, daggers, swords, clubs, greatswords, axes, staves, spears, whips, and firearms. Her bullets for the last can range from mundane hollow-points to elemental or diamond-made, and even if she runs out (which it won't when Miriam has the [[https://bloodstained.fandom.com/wiki/Headgear Recycle Hat]] on), she has the Infinite Rounds, though they're much weaker. As such, whenever she's honing her skills in the House of Weapons, you can find her in just about any of its Halls.
** She can empathize with those who [[EvilStoleMyFaith lost their faith in God]] after suffering great loss, such as [[Pantheon/{{Goals}} Setsuna F. Seiei]] (who accepted her compassion and decided it wouldn't be bad to be friends), [[Pantheon/HeroicActions Mal Reynolds]] (who saw no problem with her, as long as she has no reason to intervene in his crew's... way of life), [[Pantheon/{{Firearms}} Revy]] ([[DontYouDarePityMe who rebuffed her]], but sees no reason to antagonize Miriam any further than that), and [[Pantheon/MetalAndMinerals Magneto]] (who accepts her sympathies, but warns that they may sometimes end up clashing), but it still doesn't excuse [[FaithHeelTurn turning against their own kind]] and/or setting loose demons, [[spoiler:as Dominique Baldwin had]]. She also opposes those who seek godhood for selfish reasons or wish to kill gods. Unless said gods are malevolent, such as YHVH [[spoiler: or Chuck Shurley]]. %% ** On top of her talents in combat, Miriam is also a [[ElegantClassicalMusician talented pianist]], and may occasionally play some tunes when she has the time. If her summoned Familiar is a Carabosse, [[https://youtu.be/RqdQcfSg2BI she will sing along]].
** Wants to make sure that if someone needs to use a Waystone or some other one-use teleportation item that doesn't already have a set destination locked (such as a [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} Scroll of Town Portal]]), the user should have their destination in the forefront of their mind and nothing else. She's had to deal with someone who got lost a few more times due to getting distracted. Miriam also takes great care to return any borrowed books and makes sure others do the same. [[spoiler:Orlok Dracule's BonusBoss fight taught her the hard way, even though it did grant her the [[ColourCodedTimestop Standstill Shard]], as well as O.D.'s services]].
** As someone who's also had to fight against a brother figure who did everything for them but lost themselves to the power they have, in addition to [[spoiler: coming to their senses just as they were defeated and passing away]], Miriam got along well with Shanoa. They also discovered that they both help townspeople in their adventures, use shards/glyphs embedded in their skin, and were both taken in as a child by a demon/dracula-worshipping organization who tried to use her to summon forth said demons/dracula at the cost of her life (and thankfully didn't come to pass). Miriam also got along well with Soma Cruz given their ability to acquire abilities from enemies (souls for Soma, Shards for Miriam), their expertise with multiple melee weapons, and their antagonists trying to urge them to absorb as many as possible so they can become more powerful, and while their special abilities is seen as a weapon that can be used for evil, they both wanted nothing to do with it and use it to fight for good. They also both have alternate fates where they fell to the dark side. %% ** The Aqua Stream Shard is Miriam's primary means of traversing underwater, and she can use it with impunity while down there. It helps that she has SuperNotDrowningSkills.
** Another notable Shard of hers is [[https://bloodstained.fandom.com/wiki/Summon_Chair Summon Chair]], where she does exactly that, and can spawn several at a time. They're not just for show, for they can regenerate mana while one is seated on such a chair, but these chairs are temporary and will disappear when Miriam leaves the area or she dismisses it manually. When she has to wait for any reason, and is unable to find an adequate seat or needs to replenish her mana, Miriam will use this Shard instead, and may be convinced to summon more for others, though she doesn't yet know if their restorative properties will apply to ''their'' magic if they have any.
** When in a pinch, and there's a lot of blood spilled, she has the Blood Steal Shard to heal herself with that blood. Unlike other blood-related magics, it cannot affect blood ''still inside the body''; it has to be already spilt. This makes battles against her in the House of Slaughter or in slaughterhouses in her favor as there is plenty to absorb. On occasion, the Aerospace Sanitation Janitor appreciates her company if she has the time to clean up blood (leaving just the rest of the junk), making their job easier even for just a day.
** Was once read a tale back as a child that's similar to her own adventure, except the protagonist was a redheaded girl named Aurora. [[AllJustADream It was just a story on Miriam's side of the tale]], [[OrWasItADream but what of on the Child of Light's end?]] According to Aurora at least (who regarded Miriam with caution at first, having only met her Doppelganger before), this tale rings true on her side, taking place just after she vanquished Queen Umbra, and crossed the mirror back to her home kingdom, [[spoiler:which was about to be swallowed by floodwater]]. She was taken to this realm instead, her friends turned into Shards, and Aurora regressed to a child once more. Still, by fighting the demons of the castle, she slowly regained her lost power, and eventually [[spoiler:stopped Dominique and Bael, and on doing so was spirited (with her friends back to normal) back to her intended destination; her kingdom in Austria, in time to evacuate her people to Lemuria]]. As for the two Shardbinders, Aurora gets along with them well, even Gebel (since she somehow deduced his real situation), but also laments that [[spoiler: his fate (and she was aware of his…controlled state) was no different in Aurora's side of the story than in Miriam's]].
* Exclusive to Gebel:
** Despite his redemption, his faith in humanity is yet to be [[RestoredMyFaithInHumanity entirely restored]] due to all the sins the Alchemist Guild committed, and mostly keeps to himself unless he's accompanying Miriam, or when receiving visitors who wish to see him personally. An Anonymous Group that consisted of those who regained faith in people, such as [[Pantheon/OptimismAndPessimism Hotel Transylvania owner Count Dracula]], [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith Joshua]], [[Pantheon/{{Touring}} AZ]], and [[Pantheon/PredecessorsAndMentors Azmuth]] (when he has the time), have thought of inviting him over to talk about this. With encouragement from Miriam, he decided to accept these invitations.
** When it comes to what Shards he has, besides those he showed during his boss fight, given all the demons he's summoned, it's highly likely that he has most of the same Shards as Miriam, though some that she has are definitely unavailable to him as they are either optional, or are acquired after [[spoiler:Gremory was outed]]. Speaking of summoned demons, he is still able to do that, having first known to have done it when he hunted down the remainder of the Alchemists Guild that had experimented on him and Miriam so long ago. As for weaponry, it's not known if he's even a MultiMeleeMaster like Miriam, given all the training Shardbinders are subjected to, but he usually defaults to a sword, or sending out bats from his cape.
** As someone else who suffered abusive experiments from those who made him who he is, and eventually rebelled against them before turning on all humanity for a while before being convinced to abandon that line of thinking, Gebel actually finds a kindred soul in Mewtwo. The Genetic Pokémon can see this too and finds his words to Miriam wise even if it can't apply to Mewtwo himself since he never was human.
** Having heard of him from Bayonetta, Gebel has considered visiting Father Balder, but the stances of their powers made him concerned given the Church's stance against demons [[spoiler:and Dominique may have been working alone when she concocted that plot with Gremory]]. However, Balder himself had no problems seeking him out after hearing of the Shardbinders through the proverbial grapevine. After all, he ''did'' fall in love with and marry an Umbra Witch, so the concept of someone benevolent who consorts with demons isn't foreign.
** Given [[spoiler:what Gremory did to him]], and her pride in her heritage [[spoiler:stained by that act against him]], Rias Gremory made contact with him and [[spoiler:wanted to apologize for what Gremory did and forced him to do]]. Gebel in turn had a few problems the first time around, in a combination of trauma and horror of what happened to him [[spoiler:and with what he did because of Gremory]], but at the same time he's more upset with himself since Rias had no involvement with what happened, and recognizes her to be a [[OurDemonsAreDifferent literal different demon]], so he shouldn't even place her in the same category, and eventually warmed up to her.
