[u][b]Homeworld:[/b][/u] Aselia (Tales of Symphonia)


[u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Gregory Kaith Zivaku


[u][b]Age:[/u][/b] 19 (physically), 22 (mentally)


[u][b]Species:[/b][/u] Human-based Cruxis type angel


[u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Male


[u][b]Abilities:[/b][/u]
- Greg is an accomplished blacksmith, though he only makes weapons (custom-made, sometimes including specific magic types) for people he fully trusts. He learned this skill over years in solitude following his killing of Isaac.
- Greg has memories from many lives of people on a vast amount of worlds due to the nature of his revival by Martel. These memories give him added perspectives and skills (though not magic types), but also sometimes lead to him calling people by the wrong names.
- Greg is a great swordsman with both of his weapons, and has the ability to use many more weapons than he has actually trained with personally due to the range of his new memories.


[u][b]Powers:[/b][/u]
- Cruxis Flight: Greg is capable of flying with the use of his summonable wings of white energy. He has this due to the remainder of his former Cruxis-based Angel artes being infused into him by the Summon Spirit and guardian of the most recent World Tree of Aselia, Martel.

- Angelic Magic: Gained through his revival by the magic of Martel. Unlike most magic types, which learn from combat, this one is learned through meditation and calmness. Currently, his spell list is as follows:
-- Halo: Gives Light-energy characteristics to his attacks and defense, and makes his weapons glow with Light magic and a golden halo forms over his head.  At this point, this spell is a completely unconscious effect for him due to training, and it doesn't need him to call on it in combat, coming almost automatically.
-- Blessing: Light, wispy blue clouds flow from me into the target, restoring half of their health.
-- Guard: A sphere of light blue energy forms around the target, acting as a temporary shield.
-- Reckoning: Arrow of white-blue light fired at the enemy. A good attack for precision strikes, but not a very strong one.

- Summon--Aska: Half of the Sylvaranti Light of the Heavens, Greg can call upon this more solar-oriented Summon Spirit for a limited time, which takes the form of a [url=http://images.wikia.com/aselia/images/8/81/Aska.jpg]magnificent, golden, two-headed bird[/url]. He can do so due to the reinstatement of a Summon Spirit Pact since his revival. However, to perform the summon, Greg is required to play a set of panpipes produced from the fruit of the landlocked Linkite Tree. The Spirit has access to various physical attacks as well as its personal arte, Sunshine Nova, which produces a ball of light before him that quickly explodes. He can also carry two passengers upon his back, and rain beams of light from the sky as he flies, though this only happens on occasion. He can also increase the defense (both magical and physical) of one ally through the use of a skill known as "Resist," sometimes also known as "Aska's Embrace". Though healed by attacks using the light element, he is weakened quickly through the use of darkness magic, which quickly can cause his dispersal.
-- Light of the Heavens Psychic Link: Greg can sense where the summoner of Luna (his son Naito Zivaku, though formerly Greg's wife, Kynthia) is in the worlds, though not form telepathic communication. The link is usable cross-world and trans-worlds, but is weaker and less distinct the further away the two halves of the Light of the Heavens are.

- Soul Wave: Given by Death (unrelated to Hades, but a character controlled by Zatrion), this skill lets him summon heavenly souls to attack a target or protect someone. It's hard to control, so he uses it primarily as a kind of "Limit Break".


[u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] When he began Interfering, Greg was very friendly, but known to make a sarcastic comment at times. In battle, he tended toward trying to have fun with the occasional wisecrack. His anger led him to impulsiveness more than once. After learning of the evil within his brother, he became far more cold and humorless, only truly able to be happy when he was with Kynthia Usagi, the woman he learned to love above all else. Due to the influence of Jealousy, this obsession with Miss Usagi became completely unhinged, leading him to violence in her name on many occasions, up to and including murder to "protect" her. Following his breakup, he became far more distant and cold, his soul becoming cold as ice as he ventured over the course of four years. In his last few hours of life up until his death through his new revival, he has tried his best to be tolerant and to make amends for all of his past mistakes.

He has regained his humor to an extent, but still has a determination streak, and will do what is in his power to fight whoever would harm his loved ones, especially family or Kynthia. However, if he does not think any good can come of a fight, he will do his best to settle a manner peacefully, even if it means being hurt as a result. His memories include both his own and an unknown multitude of others from various worlds. As such, he may occasionally mention someone he could not possibly know, or have hatred for one person or another that he hates for unknown reasons. However, these moments pass very quickly, and his own personality tends to hold preference, only leading to occasional slip ups and knowledge of the use of some weapons that he did not have previous training with. This strange memory is an unexpected side effect of Martel's revival process, and the reason she constructed the Bifröst and the Tendou swords as an apology.

Greg is protective of his son Naito, but does allow him his own space. However, threatening him counts as one of the few ways to truly anger Greg.

On the subject of Kynthia, he is very taciturn about her, being very upset by her permanent death, and hating that he could not do anything, nor is he ever able to do anything, to help revert it.

Aska, the Summon Spirit of Light that was paired with Luna of the Moon in the grouping of the Sylvaranti Summon Spirits known as the Light of the Heavens, holds a connection with Greg. He acts as a mentor and surrogate father figure, speaking in [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Modern_English#Pronouns]Early Modern English[/url] out of habit. This Spirit holds a close connection to Luna, and occasionally worries for her safety, but not nearly as much as she misses his presence when he is gone.


[u][b]Alignment:[/b][/u] Good


[u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u]

[url=http://mob640.photobucket.com/albums/uu121/UMIYURI/gregnewnessCOLOUR.png?t=1296844792]Picture (although somewhat inaccurate, see full description)[/url]

Greg has short black hair with some bluish highlights in it, sky blue eyes, and a light complexion.  Unlike the above picture, he does not wear bracelets.  He wears a sleeveless white coat with dark blue trim, dark blue pants, and a blue cape with a white spiral on the back outlined in gold. The cape is held on by a chain across his chest.  He has long socks that go up to his calves, and short blue shoes with a white strap across the ankles.  His summonable, ethereal wings of energy are blue when they are out, though transparent and unable to be touched. On his back, under his clothes, across his shoulders, is a very large scar in the shape of two wings, stretching to both of his shoulders and down a quarter of his back, marking him as a member of Death's Nexus.

[u][b]Weapons:[/b][/u] [url=http://mob640.photobucket.com/albums/uu121/UMIYURI/Bifrost-Tendou.png?t=1299530171]Bifröst (Bifrost) and Tendou[/url] (approximation), his twin swords. He received these new versions of his old weapons upon his revival, and modified them upon gaining the ability to summon them to hand. Bifröst is in the style of a thicker "Viking Sword" design of his native world of Aselia, the artistic style of the "Tales" series, with the blade being 100 centimeters. The blade is golden with lines of very bright blue spiraling down it, and an aqua hilt with an orange pommel. Engraved down the hilt is the word "Dellingr," written in Old Norse. This sword is primarily used for brute force attacks and defense. Tendou is thinner, in a 45 centimeter "dirk-style hachiwara" type of Nippon, the world of Ōkami. It is a white blade with red, archaic lines running along the blade itself, and has a very bright yellow hilt with the kanji symbol for evening, "yui," engraved on the hilt in a shade of forest green. On the sides of the blade, dual jitte protrusions that make it seem like a kind of sai, and act to catch incoming blades if in a blade lock. A small tassel extends from the pommel, a silvery-white akin to the moon itself. This blade is primarily used for faster attacks and finesse over strength, and is faster and slightly weaker than the Bifröst. The important modification to this combination is that the blades are not always separate. The hilt of the Bifröst has been modified to fold into a somewhat hollowed blade, into which the Tendou fits, akin to a sheath in and of itself. Whether by pulling on the tassel or grabbing the blade of the Bifröst, Greg can separate the blades into two, automatically causing the hilt of the Bifröst to snap into place, with pressure on the pommel from the Tendou allowing it to slide back together again. As of the death of Kynthia Usagi, his meditations have caused him to develop, through his Angelic Magic, the ability to summon the blade to his hand in a flurry of sky blue Cruxis feathers, though he also can bring it normally, carried in a secondary sheath on his back.

[u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u]
- [url=http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Linkite_Tree]Linkite Panpipes[/url]: This set of panpipes allows Greg to summon Aska to his aid, though he is learning to not need it quite as much. He does sometimes use it to simply play music as well, with Aska knowing the difference.

- Svallin: A custom-made armor that he crafted. A black bodysuit is underneath and connected to the armor on top of it.  The armor itself is silver, with light blue circuit lines running along it, mainly on the arms, legs, and chest.  It is highly segmented, made up of many pieces instead of a few connected ones.  The chest armor has several rib-like pieces that point downwards and connect to a center.  Plated armor goes from the ribs to the back piece, which is circular, and has thinner pieces that go up the neck and down the spine to the backside.  Two upturned pieces connect together on the shoulders and upper arms, with the biceps left relatively uncovered.  The forearms are covered in thicker armor, which thin at the wrists.  Thin extensions attached to the wrists act as vambraces.  The armor does not cover the fingers.  The legs are entirely covered in the back, with the armor connecting to the piece on the backside, while the inner thigh is left uncovered in the front, presumably for better comfort and maneuverability.  These connect to kneepads, and then the lower legs, which resemble large boots.  The bottoms of these "boots" are segmented, and raised up a little like heels, with an extension similar to that on the wrists coming upwards off of the heels.  Finally, the helmet is skull like, with a visor that glows with a blue light, completely hiding the eyes behind them. The armor is augmented with a limited kinetic shielding, enhanced defense overall, protection from and air supply in a vacuum, enhanced flight speed, and the [url=http://jade-empire-in-style.com/items/gems/#cloudstone]Cloudstone[/url] enhancement.


[u][b]Awareness:[/b][/u] Yes, due to being one of the first Interferences.


[u][b]History:[/b][/u] Two years before the joining of the world, Greg stumbled upon a human ranch while walking in a forest. He snuck in, past guards, nd found what they called the 'Angelus Project'. Knowing guards would come soon, he took a crystal from the conveyor belts, and ran. When he got home, he pushed the crystal into the back of his hand, thinking it was an Exsphere, and was noticed. His father asked where he got it, but Greg did not respond until he unintentionally summoned two wings of energy. He told what had happened, but only his family found out. Two years later, the boy found what a friend of his names Lloyd called the Renegade base. There was a portal of some sort above. Curious, Greg flew into the portal, not knowing where it would bring him, but wanting some adventure in his life. He thought it was starting to get a little boring.

After going through the portal, Greg awoke in an alley on Radiant Garden with a massive headache caused by a head-on collision with a brick wall. He met a war-crazed young woman who spoke in the third person named Kynthia Usagi, someone who he learned to like somewhat even though he found her somewhat odd and insane. Though they parted ways after some time, with him going off around the world and meeting the Original Interference who explained Interfering, she eventually became the most important person in his life.

Next, he came to Destiny Islands. Here he met Alexander Karsath once more after running into him during his time in Radiant Garden, and also met Sora, learning about Nobodies in the process. The Keyblader quickly became a close friend, eventually his best friend platonic friend, even though for a time Greg did joke about his "imaginary friend," Roxas, which he still assumed to be a sign of schizophrenia regardless of an explanation.

Their next world was the Land of Dragons. Here, the duo met with Kynthia once more at the end, who decided to travel with the boys. They came to Deep Jungle, and went through an Awakening for Kynthia and Greg using Sora's Station, another way that linked them together. Here Roxas helped out, an addition that finally showed Greg that he was actually real. Afterward, the boys explained to Kynthia over tea with Jane what it meant to be an Interference. With her distraught and running off, Greg went after her, comforting her and in effect beginning to break her speech pattern as he became somewhat more serious. Through this experience, they grew emotionally closer, though Sora's eavesdropping did ruin the mood somewhat.

Together, the trio went to many worlds, and found out about the evil of Greg's brother Isaac on Bord'wan. This revelation completely erased his happy sarcasm, replacing it with anger and cynicism that only dropped when he spoke to Kynthia.

Not much later, the trio came to Disney Castle. There, they and many others went on an extensive journey, including Timeless River and a fight with two armored warriors. One wielded a Keyblade, the other a Lockshield. That night, spent in the castle, Greg woke from a bad dream, but was held up by an unknown mercenary with a whiplike weapon who wanted his Hi-Exsphere. Another mystery man fought him, smashing him out of a window in the process. The savior seemed to like Kynthia, leaving a rose for her, but left quickly, only telling Alexander, who was also present, not to die.

Next came the world of Twilight Town. Greg and Kynthia went to a recently-opened club known as the "Sunset Club" on their own, with Sora leaving them be to do what they want to. After some time, their dancing turned to a slow dance, and they came together, very nearly kissing. They would have gone through with it, too, if not for Sora taking a picture of them together using Pence's camera. Even though they both realized what happened and were closer for it, nevertheless, they chased the "keyboy" to the Usual Spot save point, beating him up for a little while on the Redemption, as Greg's Gummi ship was later named.

Next came the world of Port Royal. Isaac fought Greg once more, now in the employment of a being known as "Marcel," truly an evil creature known as Zeik that was possessing the form of the dark fiend Yubel. In this fight, Greg used his wings for the first time since becoming an Interference, Isaac growing a pair of red-and-black wings akin to a "Red Eyes Darkness Dragon," from the same universe that Yubel itself hailed. Due to aid from others, Greg finally managed to force Isaac to leave once more, though his obsession with power did upset the angel. During this world visit, Kairi, identified by Sora's friend Riku as "Sora's sweetheart," caught up with the trio and joined them. Though Kynthia initially objected to the newcomer, as well as to sharing her Destiny ship, the two became close friends, as close as Greg and Sora were.

After some time, the quartet reached the world of Nippon, Kynthia's home. There, they stayed at the Sparrow Inn, but Kynthia left in the middle of the night. Greg went after her, others in pursuit. Eventually, they reached her in a clearing in the Agata Forest, where she was fighting with her father, the lagomorph lunar god known as Yumigami. To aid her, the group prayed hard for her victory, managing to unlock a "goddess form" for her to allow her to be victorious, though she did fall unconscious soon after. The fight itself caused Greg to hate Yumigami, feelings that were returned in kind with time. However, he did learn from the god that Kynthia's love for the angel had allowed her to use it instead of her rage. When she awoke, he brought her to another area of the forest alone, and they confessed their love for one another, kissing at last and becoming an official couple.

After that visit, the group went to Greg's home world, which he wanted to show to his new girlfriend. Many events happened in Aselia, including, but not limited to, the death of Sain, Greg's father, at Isaac's hand, the joining of the small pink puffball fairy known as the Watapon "Wata" who became a kind of pet to Kairi, and the development of a counterpart within Greg known as Lukgar Revak, the manifestation of Cruxis powers. The sarcasm of the latter was caustic and insulting, especially toward Greg and Kynthia, and Roxas and Naminé eventually followed his example in varying degrees.

After some time, the party came to the Jade Empire. There, Greg mercy-killed Kynthia by doing what he knew would cause his brother to kill her rather than hand her over to his immoral partner, Ronald Rivers, and was finally killed by his demonic brother soon after. In the Land of Spirits, the couple met Audrey Jones, an external Interference, all three having died alongside Furious Ming, the protagonist of the game, with even Lukgar Revak having a physical form in this realm. As Sora and Kairi tearfully paid their respects at a makeshift funeral, the deceased fought through a snowy city known as "Dirge," cleansing a temple for the local goddess of reincarnation and the circle of life in the process. At the end of that journey, all but Audrey fought the manifestation of their sins, doppelgängers that looked exactly like them, except without the snow-white hair color of a spirit. Ming fought his Sorrow, Audrey and Kynthia their respective Rage (the latter apparently showing attraction for Isaac), and Lukgar a large monster known as the Minion of Suffering while Greg fought his Jealousy. The females and Lukgar rejected their sins, but Greg simply killed his Jealousy through a trick. This distinction would haunt him for years to come.

After visiting a great many worlds, most of which were previously unknown, the party was split up into three groups during a sequence of events that can be known generally as "the soul-bind affair" on the Earth of the Haloverse. During this time, Kynthia had been forced to kiss Isaac as she normally would Greg under the control of the demon, resulting on the angel believing her to have cheated on him. Sora and Kairi were left to themselves, while Kynthia traveled with Isaac on many psychologically scarring adventures. The focus for us here, however, is that Greg chased Ronald Rivers across several worlds in his attempt to find out why Kynthia would cheat on him, becoming increasingly angry and insane in the process, even going into true combat with a forced Kynthia at one point. Eventually, Greg came to the world of Fable, Albion, in the final events of the original game, seeing the same mysterious man from Disney Castle who had helped them over the course of many worlds in the interim. At this time, he learned the truth when the man was unconscious. This "Captain Kaith," this semi-SPARTAN II, was Gregory from an aborted future, one where he had murdered Isaac and left Kynthia for a period of five years for her safety without ever telling her. After explaining what had truly happened to the younger angel's girlfriend, the Future Greg used his powers of a Cruxis angel to bring Greg to the world of Greece, the universe of God of War during the prologue events of the first game. There, they met Sora, Kairi, and Kynthia once more, a joyful reunion only somewhat dampened by the revelation of Kynthia's evil actions in the period of their separation, due to corruption on the part of Isaac giving her Rage temporary life. They also met a flirtatious young man named Samuel Dolor, another Interference who irritated Greg and the others considerably. More importantly than him, Kaith was reunited with the future of Kynthia, who had been traveling with Sora and Kairi looking for him. This reunion was....somewhat less joyful, with him barely escaping with his life after a long beating for his absence.

Together, the sextet continued their travels. They returned to Radiant Garden, where Kaith and Demi reconciled privately and Greg was together with his girlfriend once more to speak privately when Kairi dragged Sora away. After some time, Greg and Kynthia found them kissing, and took a picture that they kept as blackmail from then on in, never letting go of it as revenge for Sora's picture when they were coming close and some of Kairi's comments about how they were a little too close too often.

Due to the arrival of many future characters, some villains couldn't be kept from coming along. When Phantom, the future of Ron Rivers, resurrected Isaac "Reaper" Zivaku and reassembled a villainous trio of himself, a corrupted Jessica "Elena" Mireu, a war of Interferences known as the War of Heaven and Hell took place. Many worlds fell to the grasp of "Omega," as the villains called themselves. While trying to defend Twilight Town from a corrupted Demi known as Diana, both Greg and Kyn were forced into a portal through time from a device known as the Chronos Pathway, the same type of device that had caused these futures to come in the first place. They came to a horrible future, on where the villains had won, eliminating the heroic resistance to their conquests. After a run-in with the children of Reaper and Diana, the two allied themselves with a newer resistance movement that did not trust them at all despite the advocacy of Kaith's old artificial intelligence program known as "Kira." Together, the group attacks the central tower that is the capital of this world run by Reaper, the world known as Valhalla, trying to shut down the world for a time with a very powerful Covenant explosive. All resistance members die in the assault or shortly after it, but Greg and Kyn were given knowledge on how to defeat Omega by Kaith of this time, a bodyguard of Diana's children as well as being her personal assassin. On the way, they met with various other temporally displaced people, including Isaac (who had been redeemed and a part of the heroic movement in the present, though still mistrusted by Greg) and others. The bomb destroyed the entire world due to the re-placement by Kaith of this time, and they returned to the present once more. Upon their return, the heroes used their new knowledge to end the war for good. Both Sora and Greg were killed over the course of the events before the ending of the battles, the latter causing Kynthia to go completely berserk and, along with a redeemed Demi, annihilate a vast majority of the insanely large amount of enemies in the opposing army. In the end of the war, thanks to the cunning use of a time manipulation ability, Reaper was erased from the time stream entirely, leaving only the good Isaac. With this erasure came the erasure of the entire war that he had organized, reviving those who had died in the process. As a celebration for their victory, Greg asked Kynthia out on a date, which she accepted, though not knowing fully what a "date" was. In accordance with Kaith's request to Alexander Karsath's future Ephiram upon knowing that Demi, who had become pregnant with either his own or Reaper's child, still was pregnant, the futures were sent home to their better future without at least some of these villains, Elena the only survivor, and redeemed by proxy through Reaper's demise.

Over the course of the date, Greg became ill, developing two separate diseases from his Cruxis Crystal simultaneously, both Angel Toxicosis and Chronic Angelus Crystallus Inofficium, the latter also known as "Martel's Disease". Lukgar escaped his body at one point as he developed a Pact with the Sylvaranti Summon Spirit of Light known as Aska (with Kynthia taking his partner, Luna). In the case of Greg, his unspoken Summoner's Oath was to protect Kynthia, and never to betray her for any reason nor in any way. While Luna became a surrogate mother for Kynthia, Aska became a mentor of sorts for Greg, though not truly doing much to help initially. During this adventure, Greg also met his father once more, a resident of the Underworld of Olympus Coliseum alongside Kitsumi (who dispersed soon after). Eventually, Lukgar was revealed as having escaped, trying to turn Greg into a true, emotionless angel. He was sealed within Greg's Cruxis Crystal, which had been cured of the sicknesses through the use of a "Rune Crest" inhibitor, never to be able to escape again. However, as he revealed to Akyra, the counterpart of Audrey, he (or rather, it, as the gender was not truly static due to his ability to shapeshift into the form of any angel) just wanted to be allowed to die after at least eight thousand years of life in various hosts.

His sickness gone, Greg and Kynthia returned to her homeworld of Nippon. However, due to a surprise Heartless attack, they crash landed on the world, separated. His sanity slipping very quickly, the angel went with several others through the events of Kynthia's life, meeting her deceased mother Konane and being forced to stand by and allow her to die in order to keep Kynthia's life in order, to keep her from changing in the present. Throughout this adventure, he became progressively more violent and prone to anger, lashing out at his friends (and other Interferences in the vicinity) who came along with him until they finally reunited with Yumigami's daughter.

Eventually, his growing madness led to some of the greatest mistakes of his life up to that point. In his desire to "protect" Kynthia, Greg murdered a new Interference from the world of Fable II who called himself "Noah Saar" to keep her safe, then Samuel Dolor and finally his own brother for fear of losing her love to her dark side. Each of these deaths were with the victims' own weapons, making them akin to the acts of a serial killer. His beloved demigoddess was disgusted with his actions, and left him, not trusting him to be sane in his obsession over her. Driven into the depths of depression, the insanity only grew worse as he continued alone, heartbroken and lacking any true desires but a quest for suicidal redemption in her eyes.

The breakup destroyed him. Rather than judge the deaths as murder, evil for that reason, he only believed what he did was wrong because she disapproved of it. Using the time-traveling Chronos Pathway, he moved from world to world, time to time, trying to reach a heroic death that she would hear about in order to seek redemption through his death in her eyes.. Among the games he visited were Prototype near its conclusion, Albion before the first Fable at the use of the Spire by the last Archon, the conclusion of the first BioShock, First Encounter Assault Recon, Dead Space Extraction, Silent Hill 4: The Room, and almost the Omega-4 relay in the universe of Mass Effect 2 on his own without the Reaper IFF module used in Mass Effect 2. Only the last one was stopped by Kira herself, as it was not heroic at all, and merely suicidal. Also during this time, Greg received a great many scars, including having his left ring finger cut off in the construction of a weapon specifically for Kynthia. He tried to put together a proposal to her, too far into the depths of his madness to see that she would not return to him, let alone stay with him in that way, in his current state. During this period, Aska rejected his summons, recognizing his broken Pact for what it was, and Lukgar Revak stopped speaking to him, taking away all of his angelic powers including the ability to fly.

Eventually, after approximately four years, around seven years since he began Interfering at the age of fifteen, the angel came to the time of Halo Wars, approximately twenty years prior to his previous visit to the Haloverse in the time of Halo 2. Joining the elite Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, he rose in the ranks due to his "bravery," gathering a four-soldier team of troopers as a Corporal in time. The team, composed of a sniper/medic named Private Tyler Vesely, an engineer named Private James Anchors, and a right-hand-woman and secondary sharpshooter named Lance Corporal Azumi Ian, tried to get close to him, to learn about his history, but he lied about everything he said, never showing any true emotion except when in relation to the demigoddess he loved. When near the end of the game, he came across shocking sights. Kira, who had come from one year in his future, had brought back a group of Interferences, composed of many including Kynthia herself. In time, the group found out his identity as the elusive "Corporal Zulu," and shouted about his insane actions until Lukgar took charge. Dragging the group into Greg's mind, he sent them through a multitude of areas, thought to be residual memories of some sort, before finally revealing Greg's insanity and the true reason behind his actions for so long.

Due to his method of destroying his Abomination in Dirge, Greg was infected with his Jealousy, which gradually increased his envy for others as well as his anger. Due to his actions, he sorrow was also present, all of these negative emotions feeding the monstrosity and giving it strength that it had wanted back in Dirge. Greg had been giving it strength, and now it wanted to unlock the Abominations within those he brought with him, using more Greg-clones to help to do that when they came into a psychic representation of the courtyard outside of the Temple of the Spirit Monks from that world. However, due to his talk with Lukgar, the angel knew what to do this time. After some time, he finally stopped fighting. Jealousy had not truly attacked him fatally at all, just trying to egg him on, to make his hate overcome him to fully replace his fatigue so he could take control of his body, leaving the true owner here forever as the others were also awakened as their sins' selves. Rather than continue to fight, Greg simply stopped and walked away, allowing himself to finally be at peace and change rather than allowing himself to remain corrupted in this way. And so, he walked away with his friends and allies, leaving Jealousy behind, alone, afraid, and shouting into oblivion forevermore, in his body but away from his soul, tormented within him by the power of Lukgar Revak in his solitude.

Upon awakening, Greg decided to finally take responsibility for his actions in the past, leading his Fireteam Kilo one last time against the forces of the Covenant one of the last levels of the game, with his powers restored by Lukgar as a reward for his victory over Jealousy. Due to a failed assassination attempt against the leader of this force, the High Prophet of Regret, the forces were many times as large as they should have been, with reinforcements from the Covenant as well as Heartless who used the new opening into the Haloverse made by the more recent Interferences, resulting in the deaths of two out of his three team members before the battle was done. Furthermore, Lukgar Revak sacrificed himself in the duel boss battle that took place concurrently, the Cruxis Crystal shattering. As he died, Revak told Greg that he needed to destroy his body to keep Jealousy from truly controlling him ever again.

After learning of this, the elder son of Sain Zivaku knew that he needed to finish his work once and for all. Though it pained him, he lied to the woman he loved, saying he would come back to her before knowingly flying a space shuttle up to the sun of this world for the good of all, to kill Jealousy forever for the good of his friends and the worlds as a whole. In doing so, he obliterated the Shield World entirely. But in doing so, he finally reached peace, putting the blame for the horror and death he had caused in the proper perspective.

As his friends learned weeks later, he was not only dead, having lied, but also had left a will, recorded on his way up to his demise. To Audrey Jones, he had left his small store of combat knives from his time in the United Nations Space Command. To Hawk Shadowflash, Isaac's Blood Sword, the last remnant of his existence outside of memory, a health-draining serrated sword to remind of the worst times, but also with memory of the better ones as well. To Kynthia Usagi, he left his apology for his lie, his explanation for everything he had done in his life, and hoped that she would find love and whatever else she could have her own way. Furthermore, he left to her everything he had. The Redemption, K1-R4, his weapons storage aside from the knives, and his potions. Everything he owned, he bestowed upon her with his best wishes. He also left a customized weapon of his own make. The "Kami," a scoped, handheld crossbow that could be sized down to be handheld, with a curved blade that came out of the side of the weapon. A weapon built from scratch specifically for her, and one that could only be used by her with his broken Cruxis crystal permanently fused to it, its ammunition her own Moon magic. And that, as far as he knew, was that.

Not so, as it would happen. Through events involving the influence of Martel herself, Kynthia, and others, he was finally been revived, albeit without the majority of his skills, receiving new ones to accommodate. Upon resurrection, he met with his by-then abrasive girlfriend and brother, along with his future son, Naito. Though weirded out, he realized on a date with Kynthia that, with his added memories in his head, he had to still be careful about what he said, since he sometimes called people by the wrong names.

Not long after the date, he went with Isaac, Riku, Sora, and Kairi, alongside Alexander Karsath, and fought a dark boy by the name of "Vanitas", monochrome but having a Keyblade of his own. Though he eventually fell, Riku took his keychain for his own, and Sora managed to use his Final Form in spite of his psychological block. Also, during this time, he gave the majority of the materials necessary to complete the Ultima Weapon to Sora, having gathered them over his long absence in the hopes of coming back to his friends in peace.

Greg went back to the world of Rapture once more, aiding his old ally, Brigid Tenenbaum, in staying alive some eight years after the events of the previous adventure, acting as her helper in the world itself to find an Alpha Series Big Daddy by the name of Subject Delta. Along the way, however, he saw Naito once more, along with Jasmine, who he told Naito likes in private. The three split up from each other some time later once Delta had been sent on his way, having also sent Dr. Tenenbaum to another area of the underwater city.

Returning to the Haloverse Earth in 2552 (minutes after he had left it so very long ago near the start of his adventure), Greg saw a few Interferences, including those he knew and those he did not, but was surprised to see Azumi Ian, having Interfered. He tried to explain his survival (or lack thereof), but had his nose broken as a result. Finishing the mission in New Mombasa alongside Veronica Dare's team and Azumi, he stayed for one month after the operation as she was promoted to the rank of Sergeant, then went on his way, certain that she had recovered from voluntarily watching the glassing of the city.

Not long after, Riku showed up in Traverse Town, where Greg was talking with Kairi and Sora. Already knowing the story about what they'd been doing, Riku just showed them something Alexander Karsath had given him: Xehanort's Report, essentially a diary by Xehanort, the main antagonist of the Kingdom Hearts series to that point, from well over a decade past.

Going to Space Paranoids with Isaac, he was met with Kira. She did not forgive him for what had happened, but her new avatar, along with a new, more streamlined look to the world and their uniforms, was enough to talk about and tour. He also met with a version of Death, along with a young man by the name of T.J. Brackin. Due to Kynthia agreeing to work to fight against the legions of the undying in a parallel universe, Greg agreed to help as well, alongside Kira (who received a soul) and Isaac. For his trouble, Greg received massive scarring across his back in the shape of larger wings down halfway down his back and from shoulder to shoulder, and was given the skill "Soul Wave" to help him in times of need. It wasn't very long after that he saved Azumi and Kira from the world of F.E.A.R. (who, due to the mechanics of the multiverse, had been stuck for four months following his time there), bringing them out, with Kira going back to Space Paranoids, and Azumi staying with him to psychologically recover.

This being Greg Zivaku, that about as well as you'd expect. A mirrored, reversed form of Jessica, with an inverted personality, weapon, and even magic type, came, and, after tricking Greg and Azumi both alongside Kynthia who was there, captured Azumi, still damaged, for her own. With the help of various others, including the normal Jessica and William Tarin, they killed her, with Azumi, having been forced to attack her friends and been harmed in a great many ways to beat her down in her state without any weapons, dealing many of the killing blows before running away, not wanting to be seen with them after presumably feeling herself unworthy of even speaking to them.

Greg sought solace with Kynthia, who helped him to calm down and stop blaming himself. However, they were interrupted by Cain Flueves, the reincarnation of Isaac's former villainous partner Ronald Rivers, alongside a partner of his, both of whom stole Greg away and began to torture him in Monstro's stomach. However, due to the lackluster methods of the torture (which Greg even pointed out to them in the midst of it), they got no information of use besides the existence of Greg's son, who, along with Kynthia, saved him from death through their surprise attack, aided as well by Greg. Naito told him that he was going out with Jasmine at last, and Greg, feeling better, asked for Naito to go and see about going on a double date with Isaac and whoever he had with him, to which the time traveler nervously agreed.

Greg and Kynthia spent quite some time to themselves, mainly in Nippon, growing closer. After several months, Greg left again, this time just going out to see another world for them to visit. He did not remember much of his visit to Atlantica (which had been wiped from his memory by Dani at the request of Azumi before her surrender), but he did decide to go back there some time, although he was confused by the bit of blood near the shell out (Azumi's, saying that he had been there longer than a few seconds as a message from Dani).

Once, at a confusing statement from Kira about someone he knew, he made an electrified baton/sword as another mechanical invention, both usable for lethal and nonlethal combat. He only went along with it because she let him know that it would not go against his rule of only being for those close to him. As much as she hated him, he knew that she didn't lie about that.

He came back to Nippon again, where, after some time following Chibiterasu around the world with Kynthia and the birth of Naito and Nótt (to Yumigami's annoyance, but without very much protest one way or the other), tragedy struck. With one of the final blows of Akuro, the antagonist of the second game, Okamiden, Kynthia was irrevocably killed, her soul destroyed utterly by him and her mind and body made a part of him, before being trapped within by Kurow. To Greg's anguish, he had to let Chibiterasu and Kuni kill him for good, destroying Kynthia completely, but leaving her equipment out. He held a funeral for her on her world, setting tombstones there and in his own world behind his house beside his father's (his mother being angry with him for not saying he was alive, but not objecting to raising his twin children when he was away doing his work for Martel, feeling sympathy for the passing of his love).

He did, however, get to work immediately, forcing emotion aside for the time being. Due to the magical orientation of the Kami, he gave it to Naito, who was beyond himself with sadness, also transferring the link to Luna to him, achieving a similar affinity, though with some changes to functionality. For Jasmine, who had lost her chakrams, he built new claw-like weapons for her hands, working harder than he ever had, and giving possibilities for lengthening the claws.

His silent demeanor followed him to the city of Dunwall, where he worked alongside his brother, Nicole Archer, Audrey Jones, and Azumi Ian to help Corvo Attano to nonlethally take out Lady Boyle at her party. In the process, he obtained some significant armor upgrades through the use of the bonded Galvani weave on his clothing.

Some time after the time in the Attican Traverse, he created an armor for himself by the name of "Svalinn", using both magic and technology with a primarily Forerunner-based design, but a custom make. The armor, for use in high combat or vacuum scenarios, was constructed in tandem with Dani, the hypnotist who had once manipulated him without his knowledge. The woman instructed him on how to get over his grief, or at least not let it control him, as he decided to follow when it came to his friends from then on, still constructing things for them, but also being more active in helping them directly.

Nowadays, he is still trying to help the worlds. He is working for Martel as always, but the loss of the love of his life has rendered him mostly taciturn, helping as much as he can, but trying to keep to himself and not cause harm, Aska helping to soothe his pain as much as possible.
