Romulus=Quirinus

Rome is, in its essence, "romance"...

As if to symbolize this, after the Age of Gods, this man attained a sense of humanity and the ability to love his fellow humans.

The young Romulus, who would become the great founder of the nation of Rome, was born to the war god Mars and the beautiful princess Silvia. He was raised among wild beasts. Here, his youthful self has been combined with Quirinus, one of the three highest-ranking Roman deities.

This being is worshipped as a god, and his manifestation emphasizes the brutal aspect of the rapid expansion associated with ancient Rome. Just like the Heroic Spirit of the same name who symbolizes rule and prosperity, he epitomizes the possibilities for humanity as it leaves the Age of Gods behind.

As Romulus was conceptualized as the ultimate being, characteristics typically assigned to living beings or positions on Earth do not apply.

At times they sever the world, at times they clear the way for civilization...all the while they love humans as only another human can. Should this romantic embrace be likened to a spear, it would be most grand and sharp. An ordinary Spirit Origin would not be enough to contain it all, and only when the Grand title is placed upon the Spirit Origin will they be able to manifest in their true form, which is to say, as a Grand Lancer.

So while they manifest as a normal Lancer under Chaldea's summoning system, there is little doubt they will remain a most extraordinary being.

Core of the King of Gods: B+

As the child of Mars, taken along with their being deified as the highest-ranking god within Roman mythology after dying, they possess a Divine Core in their Spirit Origin. Normally it would have been a nonstandard rank, but it has dropped to B+ under Chaldea's summoning system.

Independent Action: B+

Normally, nothing on earth would be able to restraint the highest-ranking god...but Romulus=Quirinus has purposefully lowered their rank.

Throne of Quirinus: EX

Meant for the highest deity of all mythological systems, as well as the deity who governs the entire world of the Mediterranean Sea, this skill has converted Imperial Privilege, and under normal circumstances it should represent various different Authorities. However, this is typically not used as an Authority in this game.

Divinity Transformation: B

The Natural Body skill that has been altered along with the Spirit Origin. A representation that Romulus, though born as human, ascended to become a deity.

『Nine Lives Rome』

Rank: A

NP Type: Terrifying Skill

Range: -

Maximum Targets: Self

Slaying A Hundred Heads, Roman Style.

A combat method devised by the great hero of Greek mythology, Heracles. It sublimated into its new manifestation possibly resulting from information passed down from the war god Mars (Ares), who watched over all of Heracles's fierce battles...or perhaps from the lore about Heracles being the father of Romulus. The school of Heracles, Rome branch, per se. A flurry of fists, similar to a spear of light, slaughters even monsters that are already devoid of life, and flings them skyward them to make the starry heavens sparkle.

A continuously active Noble Phantasm.

In this game, it is expressed as a skill.

Although they will unleash intense lightning strikes at the time of their True Name revelation, it is not typically used in this game.

『Per Aspera Ad Astra』

Rank: EX

NP Type: Anti-Planet

Range: 1-90

Maximum Targets: 800

Our Arms Cut Through It All, Taking Us to the Stars.

A great Noble Phantasm that is similar in nature to "Magna Voluisse Magnum" of the Servant sharing the same name. The concept of developing and expanding civilization has sublimed into a Noble Phantasm.

The arms of romance that sever the world to clear the way for civilization that will eventually reach into the sky itself are like spears of light. And while it's a manifested depiction of the arrogance of those who control the universe, it's also an embodiment of the people's determination to carry on despite an uncertain future.

If this is used as an attack, it will wreak most devastating destruction.

Should this be used for protection or to create something new, it will surely prove even more dazzling...but that is not how it is typically employed in this game.

While it's downsized, there is a possibility of this being one of the aspects of a nation-building Authority, or even an application for it...at least that's what Holmes and Da Vinci infer...

The nation-building hero Romulus who was previously bound by human limitations has now revealed their aspect as a god. Normally there is no possibility for a Divine Spirit to be summoned with a Grand Spirit Origin. However, the fact that they were deeply involved with human history and, in a most unusual exception, were elevated into a supreme god despite being human, were the miracles what enabled them to be summoned as a Grand Lancer in the Fifth Lostbelt.

In the Fifth Lostbelt, many of humanity's Heroic Spirits attempted to go up against Zeus, the Lostbelt King, but they were wiped out entirely. Entrusting their final hope to Chaldea, knowing that they would soon arrive, the Heroic Spirits gathered the last of their strength and left a grand plan behind to survive them.

And so, "Operation God Destroyer" was conceived, leading to the summoning of Romulus=Quirinus, a Heroic Spirit/Divine Spirit who was on the side of humanity, and possessed a human aspect while simultaneously being the supreme god of myth, as well as power equivalent to the thunderbolt wielded by Zeus, the Greek king of gods.

With the arrival of Chaldea, Operation God Destroyer came to fruition. When Romulus=Quirinus manifested in the Lostbelt, they fought alongside Chaldea to successfully defeat the swarm of Olympus's divine mechs.

When the mechanical gods were destroyed, Romulus=Quirinus disappeared along with them, and it was thought that they would never manifest ever again... But the bonds they formed with Master, combined with the Spirit Origin registering on to the Trismegistus in Novum Chaldea, enabled their Spirit Origin to be summonable without the Grand title. With their summoning, they can once again wield their arms like shining spears in defense of humanity.
