#areph

In a town that fell to ruin at the end of a battle, There’s a knight that’s striding through it alone. None can hold a candle to the victories that he’s won. And he’s killed more people than anyone — Basically just how AREPH is, the rules and the lengths they'll go to ensuring safety for the human pets. And also fits how Eddy seems to be the most important person in the organization

Those of the opposing land are afraid when they see him in sight, —lightly what I think of how Setup and Takedown will be like towards AREPH members..just lightly. Because it doesn't fully fit, but like. Kinda. Anyways

Desperately they beg him for their lives. Regardless of how frantic their cries, every time, He has never halted to listen to their pleas —another part that fits AREPH as a whole. Imo that is. Tbh, I don't think I still have a good grasp of what AREPH ..does. I know what it does, I know! Just. The lengths I suppose? Even though, I know that too since Theo is a member of AREPH and tortures pets if need be. Ah, I'm getting nowhere

Held in the arms of a woman’s corpse, a baby girl. Innocently smiled over at the knight, And lifted his sword into the air. — Looks at you with the fact that Flor ..ran away (in better terms) from ANAKT for a little bit, went to the nearest spot or place that at least has someone around, someone that can at least give 'Lorashishimboaninisshuori' (Seb's old name, I like to think that maybe both Arol and Eddy renamed him to Sebastian) the bare minimum of being taken care of (he's 2 when he's given to Eddy), because she can't continue to do it anymore and she is so close to being 18-19, and that is when the season probably started around and that was the age of her death (she had him when she was close to 15, so practically 14 but she says 15), with her round being the 12th. Of course the lyric is not a perfect 1:1, but it has always made me remember that small fact, and how I went about it on my end ..

"Can't leave any survivors... Sorry." —these words only appear in * PsySoubi's cover. Just felt like putting them in here because why not, and two of them fit.. I don't think this one fits but it's whatever

A~ hero’s armor is always the color of crimson. Surely this is the color of the blood that he’s covered in, It may be these deeds are for someone else’s sake, but that doesn’t Mean it can be called “justice,” all that being said... — looks at you and shows a sign that just says "AREPH" since the lyric is like. About Eddy but his purpose in AREPH, I guess. Tbh, I think some day I might need a refresher about it ..but anyways. Waves the sign again.

Time continued on from there, five years came and went soon enough, Even now the war is still going on— In a temporary home someone awaits his return.. And it was none other than that girl. — don't know how to make this one make sense, but maybe it can be when Eddy does get into AREPH or start it? I actually dunno the origins of AREPH in-universe (I know the reason why it was made, not how it was made), but something like that. Tbh, most of the lyrics don't make any sense with the characters at all, but the ones that do make sense override the ones that don't, so. Yeah

Back when he had met her first he saw a symbol sewn on her clothes, Of the Imperial family crest. He thought if he had this child with him, maybe then; She’d be useful hostage that he could use later on. — "hostage" and what Leonhart thought at the start aren't how Eddy accepts the fact that he'll be taking care of a baby/toddler. Iirc, Eddy didn't really have any experience with other humans. So, there's that.

You foolish girl, who says, “Papa, welcome home!”, Innocently smiling each time I return- Even though this man that you think of as your father.. Is really your true parents’ murderer. — This will only make sense, with a weird logic that (I think) the majority of the fans of ALNST think (moreso the ones when it comes to Luka and his tactics). AREPH is an organization created by ALIEN STAGE. "Is really your true parents' murderer", so in some weird fucked up and stupid thought process, Eddy is in hindsight responsible for Flor's death. But that's only with the weird thought process that some have with Luka, and how he ""killed"" Till in Round 7 (which is bullshit if applied to the other rounds; mizi "killing" sua, till "killing" ivan). But without this thought process, the lyric doesn't match up and . shrugs, yeah. That's it

"A make believe parent and child ... How idiotic..." — Looks around as then Eddy and Sebastian are moreso seen as... At least, 'children' to Arol. Not pets, but kids.

A~ hero’s armor is always the color of crimson. Surely this is the color of the treachery that he led, It may be these deeds are for someone else’s sake, but that doesn’t Mean it can be called “justice,” all that being said... — looks at you and shows a sign that just says "AREPH" since the lyric is like. About Eddy but his outcome in AREPH, I think. Waves the sign again.

Many things are bound to occur when fighting upon the battlefield. Victory, losses and hatred, living by your dumb luck, and above all, treachery- Before he realized, soon the knight was surrounded by a group of foes great in number. It was clear enough by the clothes that they wore that weren’t the standard soldiers. — actually makes me think of the idea on how Sebastian gets taken away and then shortly adopted by Von... I don't know how I'll go about this though. But the idea is close enough, imo. So

“Hand over the child that you have in your possession” said a woman who dressed in an old black robe, If he did so, it was also probable that they’d shortly after murder her. Surely this was all a stroke of luck, though, as for the knight that was what he wanted, right? Because at the start, after all, that was why he’d taken the child long ago. —Tbh, I think the one fitting the role of the woman in this scene is Orian, tho not exactly? The lyrics, again, are not the perfect 1:1, but it does at least make some sense inna way. The rest doesn't make sense, so.. shrugs.

Somebody then suddenly ran right in front of them, To defend that man, a sword in their hands- Right before the knight, this small trembling back, Had belonged to the child of which his foes asked — just how the lyric states, ..yeah. Sebastian protecting Eddy... That's all I can say

Oh you pitiful little girl, Trying to protect the man you call a “father”- Even though he was, in reality, probably about to sell you off — "probably about to sell you off" can definitely mean how Sebastian got kidnapped and then maybe soon after got sent to ANAKT (I think he can also be a late comer, like Kioku is.. that honestly makes a lot of sense with a bit of the timeline, imo)

Gently patting the girl’s head, now the knight who was being threatened over her. Suddenly approached the assassins and he drew his sword... — I dunno if I should explain this... I mean, I think it would make sense given how close Sebastian and Eddy are (2 year old with a teen..so like........shrugs)

"I'm not suited to be a father. And I don't lead a life I can be proud of, but if you say that's alright, Even so, I will become the armor that protects you-

Well then, Shall we go?" — THIS PART ALWAYS MAKES ME LIKE. I DUNNO. IT MAKES ME CRAZY TO THINK BECAUSE LIKE .... WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT (starts to cry). Like. What the fuck ..... Inna way, Eddy doesn't fully fit the role of like. Guardian, of being a parent but they do fit the role of older sibling that can fill in that role. "And I don't lead a life i can be proud of", is a bit weird along with the others down the line, but like. A few words fit. A few words do fit the character of Eddy, imo. They are proud of their life, so it saying it isn't proud is just weird.

A~ hero’s armor is always the color of crimson. Surely this is the color of the twilight he’s basking in, Walking hand and hand through an era that is colored by bloodshed Is a knight in armor and the daughter of red — "walking hand and hand through an era that is colored by bloodshed", the inclusion of the daughter...... Cries and goes insane by having Eddy as Leonhart and Sebastian as Germaine..

There is no justice or evil on the battlefield. There will surely arrive a day when he’ll atone for all he’s done, But until that time when all of his sins come crashing down... He’s decided he will be a “father” for now — Tbh, I find the idea of Eddy probably knowing what they have been doing to be wrong in some way is interesting, because like .. ah. I don't know how to explain it at all. Hell, I'm not even making any sense with this post at all! I'm just saying nonsensical words to walls. "He's decided he will be a "father" for now" fits Arol, though. It fits Arol perfectly, imo from what I know

Anyways. Yeah

"Have you found anything on Ignis?"

"...No. It's like any trace of him has vanished. I know we're supposed to hunt down pet humans, but do you think we can get someone like Eddy to find Ignis?"

"Maybe? We might be able to weasel more info on Ignis out of Clove. Did you get all the file data for him? Did he know his ID number?"

"I have everything, and no he didn't know his ID number. We don't have much time left with him before he's sent to HP- wait- yeah he's going to HP, so he'll be with Eddy right?"

"Not sure who's taking his case file. That's why I said 'maybe' to Eddy finding Ignis. The only way they'd bother is if they were responsible for Clove."

"How fun..."

"Yeah. He's a good kid, poor thing. None of this is his fault."

"I didn't think you had sympathy for any of the pet humans that come through here, Niere."

"Hush, you. Clove has no idea what he is. It's not his fault he has to burden these responsibilities. It's just what the Great Anakt gave him."

"Yeah, yeah. Here's his new file, by the way. He asked for the hair cut and if he could get rid of those piercings. We kept the one for his HP tag, though."

"Have they already started work on his eye?"

"No, they're just bandaging it for safety reasons."

"Fair enough. Thank you, I'll send this down."

"You got it, babygirl. I'll see you at home, kisses!"

"Mmhm, love you too Les."

Eddy belongs to @bluemoonscape

Personality: Pale, acting with grace and sophistication along with acting wittily and provocatively and also being stoic, calm, and observant, is a well-bred pet human and was raised by human scientists, so he conducts himself as someone befitting of his status. But he isn't all just a pretty face and such. He's selfish, conniving, and manipulative. Most importantly, very destructive. As he has little empathy with others and manipulated people as he saw fit, similarly willing to dispose of anyone who got in his way or whom he deemed worthy of his revenge. Raised by the human scientists got him quite power hungry since he's been raised in power and humans who are high on such power that they achieved (being respected by aliens is something you have to achieve, it's no easy and simple task, and yet they have done it so can you blame them?). But with power, comes feelings of hollowness. Troubles, and that leads to more power hunger. Having felt this from childhood, all he ever really truly felt, his clearest emotions were that of loneliness and anger at the world; being alienated in the sense that he's human raised. Giving way to the fact that he's a troubled man, wanting to connect with the lesser beings in his class. But no one knows that because he hides it well with many ways to cope with it, but mainly with a cold exterior... maybe. Having him being an enigmatic individual to them, and characterized by his curiosity, affability, and disregard for consequences. But all in all, Pale is a straightforward "do no good" man; since he disregards rules and consequences. But he is also a hypocrite (hypocrite, if he's attached he's attached.).

Special talent: Painting

Voice: Britain from Hetalia when speaking / Nao Hex SYNTHV for singing (which sometimes happens, but he doesn't sing on the stage).

Signature:

The P is a bow and arrow, the L forms a canvas. The e is in canvas

History/Lore (as of right now)

Pale is apart of "toxic ysosu" with amia's Vic and syd's Theo. Most? of his childhood has been explored by Syd while writing about Theo and Theo's life in the garden and before he sang. Pale was the quiet older one between them, if I remember the ages right (well ofc between him and theo), quite similar to Luka in that regard.

He went to ANAKT later, because of some complications that happened and it made him stay behind for a while.

For when he is in ANAKT, I don't think he had a collar on, because of how obedient he was (even if his obedience is just because it was needed and required). His uniform is the same as Ivan's, for that reason. A simple turtleneck, long sleeves and long pants.

Pales relationship to the teachers and aliens as a whole is nothing special, only summed up as "a pleasure to have in class". Even if he did.. slightly cause mischief. Just to see what the other kids would do. That's for the teachers. With the aliens as a whole, he's more "respected" than the others he's been around. But that's expected because of who he was raised by.

He finds all of the kids in his class dumb, yes even Theo and Vic. While he is "romantically" involved with them, he finds their humanity to be an obstacle.

He's softer on Theo, because that Innocence of belief is something he never experienced. He's softer on Vic, because of how determined he was to be set free (even if that did annoyed him).

Pales body state, is top notch. Perfect build for what he deals with in the future— he trains his arms and upper body often in the garden with the "fishes", that get progressively harder to carry.

Overall threat level: low to medium

His guardian?

Why of course it's one of the respected humans.

This human is called Abel, he has a twin called Cain. And an older or maybe younger brother called Seth.

His style of clothing is shared with the alien scientists, that made Yume (minus the "neckfur" he has around his neck. It's a baby alien slug that was the reason for how he got the respect he did).

Abel... All three of them are enigmatic individuals characterized by their curiosity, affability, and disregard for consequences. And the fact that they have made scientific break throughs, a lot. Their later methods having helped with the experiments that Yume Nagai has went thru. They even suggested that he would have a last name.

Last names are something that they have an interest in. Learning about pre-alien human history; last names have always intrigued Abel the most. All of the names actually. He's interested in what purpose they have in life. And he (Abel) suggested that Yume could have a last name. Cain was the one that came up with the word.

Abel views Pale as a "son", as those seem to be the only words that fit their relation, and such. It's more reinforced with the way that his own ways have bleed into what Pale does.

But lale doesn't view him as a "father" though, because of his absence and his own general anger to the world, and with the way that he was raised.. having stayed confined in its walls, forbidden to leave except when sent to help some of the "newborns" or seeing other kids to make sure that they were alright. He was continuously told that he needed to study more and work harder if he wanted to please the Aliens.

Yes, he was working more and hard to please the Aliens. He might be raised by humans respected by aliens, but it's only a few that do respect them. So that had him grew up well educated but severely emotionally deprived. So he doesn't use the term 'owner' as that just doesn't sit right with him, so he uses the term "guardian" to call him as such.

Cain and Abel are in their early 50s. Seth is in late 40s? or late 50s.

Pale and Eeta have known each other since they were kids.

Pale and Eeta had Innamorati in their early teens. Hänsel and Gretel were later down the line, in late teens but they "never made it".

Pale got into AREPH when he was 26

Pale had Kotus in his mid 20s with Molly (a fling). Kotus was around 5 when Molly had Raon. Pale was 29? When he and Dae had that one night stand.

Pale does view Theo as someone only he can be with. No matter what happens. Basically, Pale initially just saw him as a means of gaining insight on what it's like to feel emotions, but over time grew to care about him and found peace from their 'companionship' together. That's the best way to put it. And he shows that lightly with making small paintings, or things similar to such.

He does not have romantic feelings nor want them. He might envision himself in a romantic relationship, but he would rather have a complicated relationship then.. that.

He has complicated feelings on the love thing. He wants it, but doesn't feel the same when it's real.

Symbolism

↓↓

His animal is a lion. Quite simple honestly; courage, physical strength, and bravery for the simple view of it. Royalty, protection, leadership, wisdom, justice. All of that. And it honestly fits with Pale, in the way he's raised- his feelings to the world, relationship with Vic and Theo, and for the simple view of it being how he's in AREPH. This is a straightforward thing from the things I picked out

His solar symbol is the planet Saturn. This one I had a hard time with, but didn't want to ask and so I decided to do this all myself. But I do think that it fits. The discipline, order, and structure, plus tough or necessary lessons (karma). A symbol of it was a scythe or a sickel for the seed-sowing times and such. The order and discipline most certainly work with him.

His flower is a Begonia Saturn, sharing the same name with the planet just because I wanted to know if there was one called as such and there is! The symbolism of it. Begonias mainly mean caution and consideration, as well as good communication between different parties. It is commonly given as a gift when paying back a favour. But the Begonia Saturn means (well, all flowers meant) deep and romantic love. They were considered a representation of passion and were commonly used in love spells and potions. Additionally, begonias were seen as a symbol of fancifulness and were often used in gardens and floral displays. I think it's fitting! The Coriander, is here because of how it's connected with his sin; lust— coriander's past as a component in love potions may seem quaint, it continues to be a symbol of wellness and harmony.

His Tarot. Now this is fun. Strength mixed with the Devil. strength, determination, and power – like The Chariot. However, while The Chariot signifies outer strength and will, the Strength card speaks to the inner strength and the human spirit's ability to overcome any obstacle. Strength is about knowing you can endure life's obstacles. But I'm mainly using the reversed! Reversed Strength meaning you have limited control over your actions and your energy is out of control. This can lead to pettiness, fragility, and abuse of authority. It's very fitting for what he does and such. How he's around newcomers in AREPH, and all I suppose. And the Devil? The Devil tarot card suggests feelings of obsession, addiction, and entrapment. It can signify a sense of helplessness due to external forces or circumstances. However, it reminds you that you're responsible for your actions, and your perceived constraints are often self-imposed. This one spoke to me as Pale, because I've been connecting him with Luka quite a lot and it fits it a lot. Helplessness by external forces? It's all fitting

His Sin. Lust. Okay, so this one seems very.. apparent with what I've done with him due to the fact that he has 3 living kids and had a one night stand with Dae, who's a horny bastard. But I swear it's not just the sexual desires to fill the hole and void. I remember lightly talking about the sins of Yun once. They have gone with "bloodlust" for the lust sin. And I really like that idea, and I hope they don't mind me mentioning them here and going with that idea. And also, technically Lust is also about being damned. In Dante's Divine Comedy, the lustful are punished in the Inferno by being swept around in a whirlwind, which symbolizes their ungovernable passions. Which I think is also fitting. Ungovernable passions, power hunger. All of that

The organ symbol, I gave him. Hands. To me, organ symbols connect to the sin. While the tongue would've worked as well, hands just felt. The hands were calling. Which honestly first had me thinking that Greed would be fitting. But he's.. not that greedy. To say. Anyways, the hands. Their symbolism, being the embodiment of strength, help, protection, power, or authority. The image of the palm can symbolize order, vitality, and generosity. A hand logo can be associated with aspiration, authority and dignity, creation, and skill. And I honestly think it just fits. Plainly fits him. It connects to the Lion, to the tarot, his sin and the fact that his talent is painting! His hands are used a lot. Quite a lot.

Pale -> Theo: (a 'giggle'?) He makes me weak. I can't let him know that he does that- I still don't want to show myself ... Fully. To him. He already knows .. too much of me. He's too much.... but my type of too much. To say for the positive, and not to just wallow in those feelings. (Intimacy: 95%)

Pale -> Vic: ....I don't know why he thought what he did was okay. It's not. His disobedience.. I. I didn't like seeing the scars or what they have went thru- but. Oh, who knows what type of Utopia they have reached. (Intimacy: 54%)

^ overall: we went to ask sensitive questions to get more of his views. This is all he said
