User:Baluar/Nia

When Nia finally found Baluar, he had somehow changed, and he passed that change on to her. She then found her physical prowess increased and discovered she had also won the ability to transform into a monstrous yet extremely powerful Aragami form which resembled a huge human-like creature with pitch black scaly skin.

However, the Ouroboros was much smarter than it showed, and in fact let itself be absorbed only to be able to bring about destruction from a safe disguise. When given the chance, the core attempted to control Baluar, and only Nia's timely intervention allowed him to maintain control. This led them to try to get rid of the monster, but although they were successful, the creature overpowered every God Eater in the Branch. Even Baluar and Nia were unable to kill it, and they only managed to kill the monster when it was distracted attempting to kill Nia, which prompted Baluar to pick up her God Arc and backstab the monster. This event killed most of the Oracle cells that made up their bodies, but nevertheless left them as "augmented" God Eaters with Aragami-enhanced physical abilities.

Arc 2

After these events, both the twins became a part of Cradle and became part of the travelling Branch's attempts to get hold of a Kyuubi, without much success for some time. Eventually, they found more than they were looking for, and they were forced to engage a deadly Magatsu Kyuubi, entering a fight that would take them hours to win. When they won, however, they learned from Rachel Claudius herself that they were now outlaws, and that everyone now thought they were consumed by the Aragami instinct to devour.

It took them a lot of effort to get to Rachel and get rid of her while Blood took care of the transformed Julius, although her death hadn't been as... permanent as either of them would have wanted.

Arc 3

She recovered after a short time and returned in search of vengeance... or so everyone thought. After a lengthy battle (in which she revealed that, among other things, she possessed the ability to create clones of existing people), she received a lethal wound, but in her dying breath she revealed that instead of trying to conquer the world, all she wanted was to strengthen it against the unknown Aragami invasion that would come from below the Infernal Subways. The twins, as always, led the way there, where Nia was grievously wounded. This prompted Baluar to enter in a crazed bloodlust and destroy everything while she was taken to get medical attention.

Inside the structure, however, Baluar met the last thing he expected to meet: his twin sister, Nia. She revealed that she had faked her wounds, killed the one who was transporting her to the Den, and returned here to try and destroy her brother, for she hated being overshadowed by him despite being just as skilled. In a lengthy battle, Baluar eventually won a pyrrhic victory, and left her remnants while on his way to the Den.

When they reached the Den, Baluar received the news that Nia was receiving medical attention and she needed urgent surgery if she wanted to live, but that it was highly risky and so a familiar's approval was needed. He approved it without a second thought, still shocked to see his sister alive, and ultimately realized he had probably fought with Rachel's ultimate clone, the woman giving them trouble even after death. Nia's surgery was succesful, and there was much rejoicing.

Arc 4

After a few years, the twins had come once again to the Far East Branch, where they were repeatedly assaulted by a tremendously powerful Hannibal. After a fatidic meeeting, they came to learn it was actually their father, who had succumbed to an Aragami infection after the incident that supposedly had killed him so many years ago. He fled after soundly defeating them, prompting them to go out and search for him.

They thought it would be useless, but at the last second, after seeing Nia receiving a terribly powerful strike, Baluar lost control and let his Aragami instinct to devour to take over, making him exponentially more powerful but also making him a prisoner in his own body. He defeated the beast who was his father, who thanked him before turning into nothing, but the Aragami inside him craved more and attempted to kill and devour Nia. He was interrupted by Alisa, who had been previously called by Nia to try and help them. Baluar also knocked her down with little effort, but he regained control afterwards, his consciousness doing all it could to avoid ending up causing the death of those dearest to him.

Fall of the Heavens

Nia does not directly intervene in the events of FotH's beginning. Instead, she is in Far East Branch during the crisis, and adopts a kid whose parents were transformed into Aragami.

Almost ending the story, however, she comes to the protagonists' aid.

Nia is easily recognizable due to her height: while she isn’t as tall as Baluar, she is nevertheless 213 cm tall, which makes her the second tallest person in FEB. Her body, while not as muscular as that of her twin brother, is still noticeably bulging and toned. However, her body's most noticeable feature are its… ahem… its curves. Even given her larger scale when compared to average women, she still has the enviable measures of 102-77-94 cm.

Her face is rather normal looking, except for the fact that her eyes are black. Her hair is straight and very long, and she almost always has it tied. She is able to tie it in such a way that, while it would normally go below her waist, it doesn't fall below her shoulders.

Her normal outfit is an average sniper outfit (tailored for her), which is doubly useful because she also uses it as her formal attire. She usually only buttons the middle button of the top.

Nia's behavior when around people she's not acquainted of is quite silent and unnoticeable. When around friends however, her personality shifts a little bit and she becomes more talkative, although she only speaks freely while she's in the presence of her brother or the scarce few people she is really comfortable with. In regards of combat, she acts in a very similar way to her brother, bold enough to the point of recklesness at times. However, she's much more self controlled and also sometimes enjoys to attack with a swift strike the unprevented Aragami, and is also known to bring alongside her some traps to "make things easier", in her own words. She may also appear as a selfish person for those who are not familiar with her, what with her silent behavior and avoiding those she doesn't know, as well as her tendency to killsteal everything.

While she very much enjoys being sarcastic, she is not as overtly sarcastic as her brother, and instead employs more irony in her speech.

Nia is terribly prone to break things: for example, as she walks around, she is prone to kicking things, which most of the time causes those things to break.

Nia utilizes a similar load-out to that of her brother, albeit of a lesser quality (thing she is always working to correct). She uses Wild Swd: Laoyang II, Ymir+ and Phalanx as her standard equipment. She has no element-specific equipment, and uses that aforementioned one on every mission she goes to perform. Due to having similar ideas to those of her twin (i.e. "Shields' purpose is to defend you"; "Ranged combat doesn't suit us"), she has a similar view on what equipment is good and what equipment is not.

In-story, she has a modified Short Sword (roughly the size of an average Buster Blade) with a button in the handle that allows a tremendously powerful electrical current to flow through the blade.

Nia's melee-oriented combat style relies heavily on her Aragami-enhanced senses and her superhuman strength and speed. She combines her capabilities to quickly and efficiently getting rid of foes. She doesn't boast while on duty, and always chooses to kill enemies in the quickest possible way.

Nia is also very fond of using traps in order to "make things easier", in her own words, and due to her pragmatic view on combat will not hesitate in sneaking up to an opponent and delivering a fierce stealth strike.

FAN CAST
 * Ken: Ken and Nia have often argued about many things, and are not very friendly towards each other, but in the end they know they can rely in each other.
 * Arthur: Nia is friends with Arthur, although they don't really interact all that much.
 * Lyrr: Nia used to be surprised at how pervert Lyrr is. However, she's grown used to his particular personality.
 * Nanako: Nia and Nanako aren't really close, but nevertheless their interactions are mostly friendly.
 * C: Nia would rather not interact with the strange being that is C.

Baluar: In more than one way, she is much more similar to me than my actual namesake is.

For starters, Bal is much more heroic, brave and selfless in general, while Nia just rolls with whatever she has to do. Sure, she's a good woman, but she's not heroic, just like me (I'm a nice guy, but I'm not exactly the nicest guy, and I can be quite an asshole at times). She's also rather shy when in presence of people she's not acquainted with (again, just like me), and breaks stuff by merely existing...

... just like me.
