Name: Dimos Canon:Nier Re[in]carnation Canon point: From the end of his character story, shortly after Rion has died. He hasn't yet deteriorated physically or mentally. Age: Unknown. However, he appears to be a grown man, and he's an 'older model', whatever that might mean.
Summary: Dimos is a stoic, blunt man made of clockwork and purposed for war. It turns out that he was first present during a military stoush lead by the eldest prince of his kingdom, and when the generals' tent is destroyed by their enemy, he forces the prince to escape.
The escape is not successful, but he does prevent an assassination attempt upon said prince. Afterwards, for disobeying orders given by the generals (to assassinate the prince himself, thus absolving them of culpability), his systems are reset and he's abandoned in a palace basement. When the very same prince, not recognising him as the Dimos model who saved him, comes along, Dimos once again overrides his programming for his benefit, and chooses to stop the war that the tyrannical King has started with every neighbouring kingdom.
From a war machine to a bodyguard for a peace broker, Dimos is accustomed to being recognised instantly as the former by civilians, and set upon as an enemy. However, he moves only in self-defence or by order of his chosen master, putting his entire existence into trying to achieve ideals he doesn't fully comprehend (like much of human emotion and desire). Even when the prince's terminal illness claims him at last, Dimos stays by his side until his reason is completely worn away by a century's worth of anger at humanity for rejecting the peace they tried to achieve, and he's finally mercy killed by a bounty hunter.
Powers/abilities: Dimos specialises in gunmanship, never seen without his pistol and primarily using that in battle. However, he also comes equipped with, and thus can assumedly use proficiently, two hunting knives. He's also canonically shown to be good at bare-fist fighting and subduing human foes. I assume there's some level of superhuman strength, given that he's created for war above all else. He also has the capability to chew food, as well as taste-test it for the presence of poison or drugs. Maintenance can also be counted as an ability, since it allows him to run small repairs on his system, and I assume that should larger injury occur, he can use parts from other Dimos models to replace them. I completely forgot. He also exhibits the ability to construct furniture from scrap wood and cloth, building a bed on the spot with material found in a basement. What is wrong with this man.
Inventory: One pistol, 20 bullets, two bowie knives.
OTHER
Sentimental item: A large silver drop earring, in the shape of phi. It belonged to Rion, and thus immediately inspires intense loyalty and frustration in Dimos, at not being by his side. Gemstone: Black with red pinpoints. Shaped roughly like a bullet, but wholly unpolished.
Lost memory #1: Rion's song. Or, more specifically, the content of it (a song about a hero fighting evil for his people), and the fact that it started stirring Dimos' free will. He just remembers that he likes hearing people sing, and he can't quite pinpoint why. Lost memory #2: The concept of letting anyone help with his maintenance. He'll be suspicious about anyone who tries, but without external help, it won't be as efficient at repairing internal damage. Altered memory: Rion's death. Dimos does not remember that he's died at all, only that he's incredibly ill and on the verge of death. This means that, instead of being furious at humanity, Dimos is motivated to help, and motivated to go home to someone he thinks is still alive.
