Stories
7Character details
A genius and a scientist in the field of electromagnetism during the 19th and 20th centuries who claimed he knew how to split the planet in two.
While many mythologies regarded electricity as both a formidable force of nature and an example of divine intervention, it was Tesla (and other great minds) who helped unlock its mysteries, allowing man to harness its power.
Profile 1
Height/Weight: 190cm, 80kg
Origin: History
Region: Europe
Alignment: Chaotic-Good
Sub-Attribute: Star
Gender: Male
Mark Twain called him the Lightning Professor.
Profile 2
An unparalleled genius.
The Modern Prometheus.
The most handsome man around.
The worthy rival of Edison, king of inventors.
The man who recreated Zeus' lightning on Earth.
He is indeed a man of dazzling and magnificent wisdom.
His attitude towards the Master can be summed up in one word: arrogant.
Profile 3
Pioneer of the Stars: EX
A special skill given to heroes who became a "turning point" in human history.
He brought down to the world a power that only beings from the Age of Gods possessed and furthered human civilization, giving him an EX rank on this skill.
Profile 4
『System Keraunos』
Rank: EX
NP Type: Anti-Fortress
Human Mythology, Lightning and Thunder Descend.
His achievements while alive and the supernatural legends that surrounded him eventually got sublimed in the form of a Noble Phantasm.
Even prior to releasing its True Name, this is a extremely powerful electromagnetic manipulation ability.
Profile 5
His Noble Phantasm, one that recreates the rage of thunder gods depicted in many different mythologies and brings it down to Earth, is what makes him fit for the class of Archer.
When he releases the True Name of his Noble Phantasm, he can create a limited "pseudo-dimensional fracture" and destroy the surrounding area.
Additional profile
His wish for the Grail is "to complete the Nikola Tesla World System."
The advent of a new world where electric currents can interact in space itself.
In order to make this dream into reality, he will spare no efforts in cooperating with the restoration of human history.

- Zeus has been defeated! On behalf of the me who was part of the God Destroyer Alliance, I thank you, Master. But then again...those divine mechs...an ancient civilization in Atlantis... Ancient enigmas are far more interesting than I imagined. It's probably best I submit my findings from my research while I'm manifesting. Nm, no nothing! Hahaha. I'm just talking to myself.

- Sir Babbage! So this is where you were. Let us continue with our research.
- Conversation 10
- Ah, the Heroic Spirit Odysseus! I would very much appreciate it if you could participate in my research, particularly to analyze that Noble Phantasm of yours! I see it's somehow related to the ancient Atlantean civilization, but what is your take on it?
- Conversation 11
- Ms. Europa, your Noble Phantasm intrigues me greatly! I am very interested in that giant Zeus gave you, as well as that steel bull. What do you say? Would you care to take part in advancing my research... Wh-what is it? I look a bit like Zeus...? Th-that's not... What? My electric discharges are what make me similar to him? Well I...I don't really know what to say to that...ha...hahaha...
- Conversation 12
- Helena. How have you been after that ordeal? I must say, about Mister Holmes... Ow, ow, ow, ow! Please do not pull my ears, Helena! Goodness... But I am glad to see you so spirited. Please do consult me if there should be anything you want to talk about!

- Welcome to my exchange shop! I suppose this is an exchange shop from Chaldea. Enjoy it, Master. Hahahaha!
- Battle in New York 2024 - Space Odysseus Versus Nikola Tesla 2
- There's no need to hold back. They're all wares collected on the King of Heroes' budget. Exchange all you want. It would certainly help me out if you grabbed them all up.
- Battle in New York 2024 - Space Odysseus Versus Nikola Tesla 3
- Oh? You have good taste. This thing's worth your money.
- Battle in New York 2024 - Space Odysseus Versus Nikola Tesla 4
- Don't worry too much about it. These are all useless for my inventions. Haha!
- Battle in New York 2024 - Space Odysseus Versus Nikola Tesla 5
- So you need that thing. Take it away! You're sure to be blessed by lightning!
- Battle in New York 2024 - Space Odysseus Versus Nikola Tesla 6
- Oh? You're here again? I was just about to close up shop. I'm going to enjoy a cup of tea here, so go ahead and look around on your own.
- Battle in New York 2024 - Space Odysseus Versus Nikola Tesla 7
- Working at a shop even though the store is about to be shuttered... I am unbelievably bored. I suppose this sort of thing isn't so bad now and then. Distancing myself from science and inventions, and just letting time pass idly by... Then again, it's also rare for me to manifest here while retaining my consciousness like this. Once my moment of repose is over, I will resume my activities! I wouldn't dare let that lion-head best me, you know!
