MISERABLE.

life philosophy.  —  accepting.

Though he believes that it is inherently impossible for most, if not all, humans to lead a “good” life due to how humans will either destroy their own good lives or the good lives of others, Nemo believes that all one has to do to lead a “good” life is:

Not ruin and/or hurt others.

Be a decent person.

Be kind and help others (just like Artina did).

However, while Nemo absolutely believes his mission to destroy humanity and avenge the death of Artina is necessary and a long-time coming, he’s... not entirely satisfied with the decisions he made both in life and after his death.

          someone like her.  she feels something permeate below the surface of her skin.  irritation ?  sadness ?  she can’t quite place her finger upon what one it is exactly.  she was not her mother, nor some being to paint the world in suffering and pain as justice had in her height of anger.  “  someone like me  …  ?  i’ve never wanted to bring harm to others;  humans even.  how would i be any better than those who look down on me ?  ”  there’s a short pause,  “  must you wish such horror upon humans  ?  do they not suffer enough by their own hands ?  ”

Nemo’s smile remained, even as he mulled over her words. There it was, that pitiful desire to be better than others. To prop oneself up on this mystical moral pillar and act as though that truly separates one from the vermin beneath them. How cute.

  All the red flags seems to go off in her head, like a garden of spider lillies. This was wrong, terribly wrong. No one should even know about that project after thousand and thousands of years, much less a human. Despite the growing turmoil within her, she remained calm, collected. Although this was only being held up by the nagging feeling in her chest. Who knew that such an event would already be happening, without as much as a forewarning? The way fate would twist this sort of things always cause the demon to start to doubt herself.

 Silence. If only for a few moments before she could even ask questions. Even talking about this, hearing those words…it left her in a state of disbelief. “…Lillium Project?” The words were echoed back, enthusiasm lacking in her tone. It sounds more monotone…more robotic if anything. ‘Play it by ear, Yuko. Keep it together and instead extract information from him instead.’ Yet that usually cunning clashed with uncertainty. ‘I should kill him for even uttering that in front of me, right?…’ 

 “I can’t say I have. Sounds more like a science project gone wrong.” The woman adds, exhaling rather deeply. She wasn’t wrong, it really went awry rather fast. A tap her chin for a moment, pretending to think back about his inquiry, even though she’d never give up such information so easily, especially to a man like this.

 “Nope, doesn’t ring a bell at all. Tell me, what is this project you speak of?” She refused to back down without a struggle. No one backs her into a corner and gets away unscathed. Especially from Lillium them self.

“A science project gone wrong...” Nemo repeated, his tone almost wistful. “There’s a nice little trend nowadays of those, isn’t there? Humans trying to make the next big weapon to wipe out their competition, demons being themselves. Everyone just loves to meddle with things they shouldn’t and then be surprised at the disaster.

“But, see, and I really do hate to say this, my information on the Lillium Project is limited. All I really know is that it’s top secret, it’s very classified, and I’m very, very interested in it.” An exaggerated sigh came out of him, and it was almost enough to diffuse the genuine... frustration bubbling up underneath. “If I had to guess, probably some kind of secret weapons project that collapsed in on itself. Maybe somebody had the bright idea to start a new arms race! But I don’t know for sure and that can be a little grating for the big bad scary Ruler of the Human World.”

Again, the change in Nemo’s expression was replaced as soon as it came, and his grinning face was propped up against his hand. “And that’s where you come in. I am interested in this Lillium Project, but I’m afraid I don’t have the time to go hunting after the information myself... you, on the other hand...” His eyes narrowed at Yuko, and her moment of silence after his completely innocent question was noted. Any ordinary demon would be excited at clandestine projects and all their horrifying implications but... silence... how very interesting. Maybe someone decided to grow morals, as though their species could have any idea what those even were!

Let’s just, play around with some of the Fate rules shall we because Nemo’s existence is weeeeeird.

Nemo is taken from the height of his mission to wipe out humanity (basically when he was interacting with the Hades Party), although the other presence in his Spirit Origin comes from the end of his mission.

Nemo’s an Avenger-class Servant, driven entirely by his immense hatred for the human race. In fact, that immense hatred might make one wonder how on earth he really became a Heroic Spirit (his anti-hero status aside)...

... and that’s because Nemo as a Servant is not only Judge Nemo, the Ruler of the Human World who plotted to destroy Humanity, but also partially Fear the Great, the system designed by God (presumably) to destroy any planet with too much malice. This... infection of his Spirit Origin is why Nemo’s able to stand on somewhat even footing with some of the greater legends.

Also because of this fusion, Nemo should be a Threat to Humanity. But Nemo does not wish to acknowledge his constant struggle against Fear the Great and the way it throws his mental state into further disarray, so the sheer destructive qualities of Fear the Great are diminished somewhat.

In its natural state, Fear the Great is an Anti-World Noble Phantasm.

Nemo is the most unwieldy Servant to work with. His violent hatred for humans and his controlling and distrustful nature makes him about as likely as a Berserker to kill whoever summoned him. Getting through that sheer malice would be near impossible because of how ingrained it is into his being.

One of his skills, Overflowing Malice, makes it so being around Nemo is just... miserable. Though it can be gotten used to when he isn’t explicitly weaponizing it, being around him initially will make most people feel suffocated by the weight of his misery.
