Tenochtitlan

A mysterious Servant who goes by the names Tlāloc and Huītzilōpōchtli. Aztec mythology describes Tlāloc as the god of rain and ruler of the world during its third genesis. It also tells of his destruction by a rain of fire. Huītzilōpōchtli is an Aztec tribal deity, revered as a god of war and avatar of the sun.

"Cities which revere the gods must be strong and beautiful. Please never suggest in my presence that a city is merely a place to live."

Personality

Introverted and active. An iron-willed overachiever who believes in her own righteousness and fervently adheres to it. Her idea of justice is a city's prosperity and safety, while her notion of evil is a city's decline and lack of safety. She does neither praises nor smiles on those who live righteous lives, but welcomes them warmly. She neither scolds nor scorns those who live evil lives, but executes them outright.

"I do not question the nature or value of war. I will accept combat for any reason. But it means to fight and die means everything," declared Tezcatlipoca. Although they do not see eye to eye, she tolerates this sentiment because of her respect and affection for him.

She rates herself as a cold and ruthless beauty, but her mannerisms tend to reveal how she feels in the moment. Take her sighs of deep affection and obsession, her sighs of disappointment and pity, or her sighs of hostility and rage. While they seem similar on the surface, the manner in which she delivers them varies greatly in tone and meaning.

Much like the rain which falls under her divine portfolio, she can be quite clingy.

This Servant in the form of a young woman calls Tezcatlipoca her older brother and claims to be Tlāloc, the god of rain, as well as Huītzilōpōchtli, the god of war. Her true identity is that of an Elemental inhabiting a city, a city which has been anthropomorphized as a Servant. Namely, Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire from the 14th to 16th centuries. Tenochtitlan was a watery city which was home to some 300,000 souls, populated only by its king, priests, nobles, merchants, and slaves. Lacking even a single farmer, it was the latest and greatest model city of its time.

It is said that when the conquistador Hernán Cortés and his expedition visited Tenochititlan, they were in awe of this city, the likes of which existed nowhere else in the world. All traces of its glory are now lost, buried beneath Mexico City, the capital of Mexico.

Xōchiyāōyōtl: A

Known as "Flower War." Flower wars were tribal conflicts that sustained the city-states and served as necessary sources of slave labor. It is said that the vital energy of the blood that flowed from hearts sacrificed upon Tenochtitlan's altars preserved the world (sun).

Lake of the Moon: EX

Metzliapan. When the nomadic Aztec people arrived at a land of respite, they built the city later known as Tenochtitlan upon this lake. It is a convergence point of the human order, bringing about humanity's rest and prosperity. It is essentially a place of power. While it exists on the planet's surface, it has the same leylines as the Inner Sea of the Planet.

Grants significant physical damage reduction to the entire party and a massive power-up to Tenochtitlan herself.

Dual Activated Heart City.

Tenochtitlan, city of water, is no mere city. Its skeleton is the soul of the tribal god Huītzilōpōchtli. Its skin is the soul of Tlāloc, god of rain and droughts. Its muscles are great heaps of stone. And the blood spilled from sacrifices is the pipeline to activate this gigantic mobile weapon!

All this means it is a thirty to fifty-meter high city-pattern giant robot. (There is a cockpit, and Tenochtitlan is within.) The city rises, takes on a form somewhat resembling Tenochtitlan herself, and morphs two temples enshrining their respective gods into weapons not unlike lances. The chest contains the precious stored blood of all the sacrifices that bled in Tenochtitlan, used as a magical energy power source to fire an ultra-high heat ray.

Because Tenochtitlan is the soul of a city, she likes humans in general. It's unclear whether she's affectionate towards the human mammals themselves, or whether she just appreciates them as further ornamentation to brighten the city itself. The answer is probably a combination of both sentiments.

She casually invites anyone she's fond of to live within her in a manner that can only be described as salacious.

"I've looked into your current home. There's nothing wrong with it per se, but if you live in a town like that, your life is bound to slide downhill. You should move."

She's a cool beauty who is prone to ennui, but remains impulsive and unbothered, living life at her own pace. When she loses her temper, the abuse she hurls at those around her doesn't help her overachiever image at all. And it happens rather often.

Her inner nature stems from her resentment at being a fallen city. Moctezuma II's choices led to the doom of the Aztec Empire and Tenochtitlan vanishing from the earth. She desires neither the revival of the Aztecs nor the restoration of Tenochtitlan. But if she could be a city, one last time...

Her earnest wish is to protect the lives of her residents, no matter how tiny a world she's in.
