Profile

To fight the Abominations, the Federation's weapon factories ran without pause. Caught in a relentless wartime system, there was no room to care about the environment. Acidic wastewater, the pain of those suffering from the Oblivia phenomenon, and their blood, all flowed into the rivers. And when the desperate wish to be freed from that pain finally took root… Echidna was born. But her birth was a misunderstanding. She took that wish as a plea for release through death, and began slaughtering indiscriminately. Even as the screams rang out, a part of her sensed something was wrong. But she had no way to fix it. She continued killing as always, until one day, among the dying minds and tangled regrets, she became aware of the Human God. And with that faint hope, Echidna set off through the desert, in search of the one who might finally make her whole.

Echidna carries the title "Venombound Elemental". Echidna is a female Arcane Elemental. Echidna stands 158cm tall.

Classes and skills

Echidna starts in the Arcane Elemental class and promotes through 2 more tiers. Each promotion keeps the skills already learned and adds the new class's.

First tier

Arcane Elemental

Attack

The miracle of the birth of a supernatural magical life form, an arcane elemental, is not widely known. What is certain is that these arcane elementals are born from the unstable arcane energy and the desires of mortals. These arcane elementals are influenced by the environment in which they are born and react sensitively to the wishes of mortals.
