Description

Personality

Prometheus is a cruel and violent Reploid, exhibiting a brutal and arrogant demeanor in battle. He shows no hesitation in killing his opponents, reveling in combat and displaying contempt for those he deems weaker. While capable of teamwork with his sister, Pandora, he is a powerful warrior in his own right, driven by a desire for revenge against Master Albert, his creator, and a deep-seated self-loathing. His interactions with Ashe suggest a complex personality, hinting at a shared bitterness and a cynical worldview. He views others, including Vent/Aile, as mere pawns in Albert's game. Despite his cruelty, Prometheus's motivations are rooted in his own suffering and resentment, adding layers of complexity to his antagonistic role. His dialogue reveals a degree of self-awareness, acknowledging his own flaws and the futility of his actions, yet he continues down his destructive path. He seems to find a twisted sense of camaraderie with Ashe, recognizing a similar thirst for revenge, though he ultimately dismisses her attempts at self-justification. His knowledge of Ciel, the first commander of the Guardians, further suggests a history and understanding of the world beyond his immediate conflict.

Abilities

Prometheus possesses a unique blend of abilities stemming from his Reploid origins and his fusion with a fragment of Model W Biometal. His primary abilities revolve around pyrokinesis and manipulation of shadow/null elements, combined with exceptional combat prowess and agility. **Pyrokinetic Abilities:** Prometheus demonstrates mastery over fire, capable of generating and manipulating flames at will. His attacks range from summoning flaming skulls that fire blasts, creating moving fire pillars, and generating flaming swords that travel along walls and floors. His body even changes color to red when using fire-based attacks, indicating a deep connection to this element. **Null/Shadow Abilities:** Beyond his pyrokinesis, Prometheus exhibits abilities associated with null or shadow elements. This manifests in his teleportation capabilities, allowing him to quickly reposition himself during combat and launch surprise attacks. His scythe, a weapon larger than himself, is wielded with exceptional skill, further enhancing his offensive capabilities. He also utilizes his pale blue, polymorphic "hair" as a weapon, stretching and planting it into the ground to create spear-like projections. **Enhanced Physical Abilities:** As a result of his Biometal integration, Prometheus possesses enhanced strength, speed, and agility. His combat style is aggressive and brutal, reflecting his violent personality. He is a highly skilled swordsman, adept at both close-quarters combat and ranged attacks.
