a character in “Fusion Fantasy Neo”, as played by MrAuthor3DS

Description

Name:
ADEL TORREZ -X-Machina-

Main Menu - Dissidia Duodecim
Image




Age: 20

Gender: Male

Specie: Human




Physical Description: An average young adult with unkempt auburn hair (and beard). He wears an armor-padded vest with long sleeves, sturdy slacks, army boots, and black gloves. He usually has Nemea equipped to either hand.

Personality: Firmly believes in justice and honor when it comes to battle. He holds friendships closely, and can't stand betrayal. It's his hope that these virtues are passed on to future generations.

History: A recent addition to the ALLSTAR Federation, defenders of otherworldly threats. He's one of the finest recruits yet, having passed his entrance exams with record-breaking scores. From unknown sources, he received Nemea, a weapon that would allow him to keep up with the more advanced foes out there. Dedicated to justice and peace, Adel leaps into the fray, ready to aid in the fight for the future.

Equipment: Nemea, a gauntlet-like weapon received from parts unknown. She is a sentient machine, analyzing the area and relaying advice to her wielder. She projects solid light in the form of various weapons, from swords to cannons to flamethrowers to rail guns to etc. etc. She also coats Adel with an intense bio-electric aura that softens incoming damage to a degree. Sometimes, she may act outside of Adel's command...

Abilities: Adel is trained rigorously in physical stamina and agility. He can keep up with some of the best soldiers in the world.

Other: Regardless of his equipment, he's an average human. However, some believe that doesn't make him any weaker than the other defenders of the ALLSTARs.


Specific Moves
  • Clampjaw: Fires forth a lion-head-shaped shot that restricts the foe on hit. Can follow up with Persecution (rushes into foe) or Combust (makes the shot explode on foe).
  • Dodge Roll: An evasive maneuver. Can follow it with Prowl Lunge (Nemea rushes toward foe with claws projected) or Rising Bite (Nemea performs an uppercut).
  • Vault Kick: Using Nemea's light blade as a pole, flips forth in an axe kick. Can follow with Axe Lynx (another axe kick empowered by Nemea's solid light projection) or Energy Puma (Nemea makes a cat-shaped beam shoot up from the ground below foe).
  • Wildcat: A quick-rising uppercut. Can follow with Great Roar (Nemea deals a short-range pulse that launches foe) or Claw Shredder (Nemea brings light claws down on foe).
  • Flamethrow: Nemea spews flames forth over a wide area.
  • Fire Grenade: Nemea launches a bouncing orb of fire forth.
  • Jet Charge: A chargeable attack where Nemea thrusts into the ground (with solid light knuckles) and causes an eruption of flame around Adel.
  • Heat Growl: A quick burst of fire over Adel.
  • Discharge: Nemea quickly emits an electric shock around Adel, zapping struck foes.
  • Tiger Blitz: A fast dashing electrified strike with Nemea projecting a spearhead.
  • Ground Surge: Creates an electric zone in the ground below for a while.
  • Sky-Link: Nemea triggers a thunderbolt above. Slow to execute, but powerful.
  • Infernal Tiger: Stellar Trick. Nemea casts forth a tiger of flame that pounces forth.
  • Hunter's Bounty: Stellar Trick. Nemea launches a grappling wire at the foe to reel him/her in, then Adel delivers a crushing punch-knee combo.
  • Nemea Seismic: Stellar Trick. Nemea punches into the ground, setting off a large electric shockwave around.
  • Nemea Spiral: Stellar Trick. A flame-cloaked drill uppercut.
  • Tigris Pulsar: Ultimate Trick. Nemea engulfs self and Adel in a giant solid light tiger, which stuns foes in front, then tears through them.

Inspirations
  • Chris Redfield (Resident Evil)
  • Wonder-Red (The Wonderful 101)
  • Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy 8)
  • Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear)
  • Ragna the Bloodedge (BlazBlue)
  • Yu Narakami (Persona 4)
  • Iron Man (Marvel comics)

Trivia
  • Adel is an Arabic name meaning "righteous/fair/just". His last name comes from "tora", Japanese for "tiger".
  • Adel is River's rival, representing red, the tiger, fire, and the righteous hero.
  • Nemea is named after the home of the Nemean lion, which could not be killed by mortal men, as its golden fur protected it. This lion was soon slain by Hercules/Heracles. Some say the Nemean lion fell to Earth from the moon.
  • Some of Adel's specials are chained moves, much like many of Ragna's specials in BlazBlue.

So begins...

At one apartment, a young man with auburn hair takes note of the situation from his window. Shocked by the sudden arrival of Coronach airships and people suddenly developing magic powers, he stumbled back from the window.

"W...What in Unitas...??" he stuttered.

The nanite bombs keep getting dropped over Sanctuary. Many people try fleeing indoors and staying away from windows or other openings. The key word here is "many people". It's a traffic jam out there, which leads to more people getting exposed to nanites.

Meanwhile, Riley takes two nearby trash cans and pushes them over before picking up the lids, tossing one to Quintus and putting the other one over his head.

"Are you serious?" asked Quintus.

"It may not look it, but yes," said Riley. "Now do you want to get out of here or not?"

"... What do you even want?" asked Quintus, part to himself.

"The same thing as you, I imagine," said Riley, running out from the alleyway. "I want to not be here if and when something worse happens!"

In a factory somewhere in Sanctuary, several engineers are in the midst of moving in equipment when they look outside and see the nanite bombs being dropped.

"What the hell is goin' on out there?" asks one.

"It might be for the best if we all stay inside." remarks Ninjacker as he walks up to the engineers. "Especially if those are what I think they are."

Cole watched with his camera as the airships dropped the nanite bombs on Sanctuary. "What the hell?! Are these Coronach ships? If I didn't know better, I'd swear they were protesting the craziness around here. This doesn't..." Cole said, his eyes widening as he paused on that last sentence. "...make sense."

Cole started voicing his thoughts as he moved through the back alleys away from the ships, his camera pointed behind him and still recording. "It don't make sense for Coronach airships to just up and attack Haven outta the blue. Just like it didn't make sense for the White Platoon to just up and kill an important person. I may not know much about them, but I knew somethin' was off when I heard about that. Somethin's not right about this." He took a quick glance behind him at the airships. "I'll bet these things didn't even come from Coronach."

With one hand still holding the camera, he took out his phone with his other hand and started dialing.

The auburn-haired youth wasn't sure if he was even prepared to tackle this situation. True, he passed his entrance exam for Haven's military covert ops with flying colors, but he's yet to even receive his designated weapon. Just then, there was a knock on his door.

"Hu - ? Who could have made it through that mess?" he wondered as he went to the door. Opening it, he saw a soldier from Haven's army, carrying a package.

"Looks like I got into this building just in time," the soldier said. "This feels like such a big coincidence, don't it, Private Adel?"

The youth, Adel Torrez, saluted. "It does...sir!"

"Anyhoo, the brass has gone over your combat style preference, and have picked out the weapon that would suit your skills," the soldier said, placing the package on the floor. "Now then, I must be off to handle this crisis. Until later!"

Adel and the soldier saluted each other as the soldier left the apartment.

Police cars and ambulances zoom by, a few stopping at large clusters of screaming nanite-infected civilians, but most keeping on trucking, heading for Haven.

"Figures," said Quintus. "The rich get the most attention."

"You think I could flash a few coins and get them to come over here?" asked Riley.

"Now is hardly the time!" shouted Quintus.

Andy and Kaia hurried in from Ingenium, strafing past the incoming bombs.

"Since when did Coronach switch to Haven-model airships??" Andy wondered out loud. "I'm sure I've never seen their ships plated in metal head-to-toe."

"Worry about that later!" Kaia said. "We have to get on those ships and...erm..."

"Play this by ear, then!" Andy hurried to a building and, using the power of Circuit Grind, rode up the side on his skateboard. Kaia ran to another building and glided up its side.

-----

Adel opened the package, revealing his weapon - a gauntlet of some kind that looked like a red/gold lion head. Its cyan eyes lit up as Adel lifted it out of the box.

"...Startup complete," the weapon said in a female synthesized voice. "Commencing owner registration. Please hold still."

Adel kept still as the weapon cast a scanning ray over him.

"Adel Torrez, private of Haven Secret Defense Force, in service for 30 days. Registration complete. I am the Nano-Electronic Matter-Emitting Attack Option, AKA Nemea Option. I hope to be of service to you."

"Impressive..." Adel said, eyes wide with amazement. "Well, um...good to meet you, Nemea!"

He equipped Nemea to his right wrist, looking back to the outside. If he can help out, this is his chance to do so.

Well, to be fair, Dr. Y was flying a Coronach-model airship that looked a whole lot like these.

A fireball comes flying in from outside, sailing into Adel's apartment window.

Andy and Kaia have reached the top of the buildings, hopefully high enough to glide across to a couple of the airships.

-----

Meanwhile, Adel hurried to the streets with Nemea equipped. Nemea linked to his nervous system through his natural bioelectric field, allowing him to directly understand what her capabilities are, and trigger them by thought.

"Attack system is ready, Master," Nemea said.

"Roger. Now let's move!" Adel said, proceeding ahead to rescue anyone that's in danger.

They can glide across to one, the lowest-flying of the bunch.

Police vans zoom by Adel and, coincidentally, Quintus and Riley, heading straight for Sanctuary's radio tower.

"There!" Kaia said. "Okay, we're going in!"

Andy shrunk his Hand of Fate, which re-manifested in the form of two big flat wings on his back. With these, he glided toward the deck of this airship. Kaia did the same with her wings, the two touching down on deck.

-----

One nanite bomb seems to be falling Adel's way.

"(!!!) Nemea! Uh...what is it...Discharge!" he commanded.

"Affirmative," Nemea replied, surrounding Adel with a spherical electric barrier. On contact, it shorted out the bomb, disabling its detonation, as well as the nanites within.

Death's Head, meanwhile, arrives in Sanctuary and switches out his right hand for a gun that resembles a harpoon launcher. He begins to look around at the various individuals that have been given out-of-control super-powers, and decides that it may be time for some crowd control. He then begins launching steel rope nets out of his gun, pinning some people to the ground or walls. There's not much he can do about the airships over the city, but this works just fine.

On deck are several men in armor, typically worn by knights of Coronach. The knights not busy piloting the aircraft turn to Andy and Kaia, draw blades, and charge.

Killian's police escort arrives at the radio tower... only to find several nanite-infected citizens standing in the way, hurling fire, ice, electricity, and all sorts of other unpleasant elements. With all those people there, getting safely into the tower is nigh-impossible.

"Dammit!" said an officer, pulling out his police radio. "All available units, report to the Sanctuary Radio Tower immediately!"

Cole kept running and looking around as he was passed up by police vans, some guys flying above him, and even a giant robot.

"Where the heck is Tempo?!" he screamed. When he turned his head and saw a purple and orange blur quickly moving towards him from where the Techno Dome should be, he just said, "About time!"

Tempo picked up Cole and skated away until they were clear of the bombs. Stopping next to a hotel, Tempo let Cole down.

"Sorry to keep ya waitin'." Tempo said. "So what's the plan?"

"I need you to get me onto one of those ships." Cole said, pointing at the airships.

"What?! You wanna head towards the people that're lightin' this place up?!" Tempo shouted.

"Nothin' about this attack makes sense. If we can get up there, we might figure out what's really goin' on. If you can get to the rooftops, you might be able to ramp off one and shoot us onto one of the airships." Cole explained.

Tempo sighed and said, "Man, you crazy. I can't believe I'm about to do this. But I ain't carryin' you again. You need to find somethin' to ride on or whatever."

Looking around, Cole saw what looked like a hotel luggage cart. "We'll use this," he said. "Now let's go."

Cole held tight to one of the bars of the luggage cart as Tempo revved his skates again and sped towards the airships.

Andy and Kaia assumed battle positions, ready to take on the knights.

"What gives, guys?!" Andy shouted. "I know Haven hasn't yet extended that act, but this is uncalled for!"

As Andy's frustration built up, his eyes began sparking up with the effects of Gaze of Guilt. The knights better not be looking to his eyes - those that do might experience a horrifying, numbing sensation...

The knight actually making eye contact with Andy falls to the deck, paralyzed.

"Don't look at him!" shouted another.

The knights scatter, not making direct eye contact with Andy, before moving in, slashing at Andy and Kaia with deadly precision.

"They need to be taught a lesson," said one of the knights, in between blows. "They dared make Captain Mordred sign this ridiculous act when he wasn't a resident of Haven. It's only a matter of time before they expand their views and make everyone register. We're just helping them out. They fear supers so much, it's only fair that they know what it's like!"

Meanwhile, Cole and Tempo should be able to get onto that same airship with a solid leap.

Andy weaved his Hand of Fate into a shield, blocking incoming attacks. Kaia materialized a barrier, withstanding the blows.

"Fighting terror with terror? That's just silly!" Andy retorted. "And not 'haha' silly."

With Cole hanging on to the bars of the luggage cart, Tempo pushed through the streets of the city, having to avoid nanite-infected citizens a couple of times whose powers were out of control. "What's up with them?" Tempo asked.

"I'll explain later," Cole said. Eventually, they caught up with a low-flying airship as it approached a roof they could use as a ramp. "Up there!" Cole said, pointing.

"Got it!" Tempo said. Tempo sped up some more and used a vehicle as a ramp to get to that roof, then they both shot off the roof towards the airship. Cole jumped off the cart and rolled onto the deck of the ship with Tempo coming on some distance behind him and the cart they had been using just fell short and crashed into railing on the side before falling back to the street.

"Says the teenager with the mummy hand," fired back one of the knights.

The knights' swords start vibrating, essentially pushing against the barrier and shield with the force of chainsaws. While not unheard of among elite Coronach troops it seems a bit of an odd choice for air units. Other knights see Tempo and Cole jump onto the airship and aim the vibrating blades at them.

"Get off this plane," said one of the knights.

OOC: I couldn't resist an Air Force One reference!

"Hey, my eyes reacted to something you guys are guilty of!" Andy retorted. "That wasn't terror - that was empathic punishment! And you really oughta get those blades off my hand before - "

Andy's Hand of Fate then sparked up with ethereal electricity, surging through the swords making contact and, in turn, to their wielders.

"Coronach or Haven military, this madness needs to stop!" Kaia protested, pushing back with her barrier as hard as she can. "More havoc won't solve anything! Also - !"
