Oh my GOD ALTAIR

I only had his Holiday version, which is good for supports and debuffs but I admit I never looked twice at him

WHERE WERE YOU HIDING ALL THIS

EHEHEH GOTCHA.

God i wanted his holiday unit so bad when it came out, i'm an Altair truther through and through, they just aren't doing anything with this character!!

also his VA also voices Poseidon so this is something that needs to be mentioned because, that man's range.

But they barely ever did anything with his character except an event in 2020, The Art Of Mercy, that was supposed to set up Speaker Lore and then they never came back on it. The nerves.

I got Altair is one of my first unit (he's my 7th SSR unit, and it involves 2 sidestories character, so he's my 5th gacha ssr) and he carried me so much when i was baby because back in the days Relic Buster didn't exist and if you wanted to have a full burst on first turn, you had very little options, and i had cheesed a set up with Aglovale's sword as main hand on Chrysaor + its CA boosting skills, Aglovale, and Altair that got me a full burst on first turn on my water team. It legit carried my early days. Now his unit is pretty much obsolete, but i'll always remember him.

He's very cool, he has a manipulative edge as you can imagine from being a genius war tactician, but he uses it mostly to avoid casualties. He also officially retired from being a war tactician, but he often gets lured in into being an advisor to some conflit by people telling him "please help us win this war and we'll give you books about ancient lore". He's a nerd. Mister "i'm not manipulating anyone. .... unless you have books."

Shura, who appears in the wday lines, is the general from a country Altair used to serve, but has left a long while ago. In the Art of Mercy, her country calls for Altair's help and he concedes to it in order to access Creation Lore Books.

For the record his wings are because he heard of the Primarches when they were just legends but he admired this idea of benevolent power so much he gave himself fake wings to remember that the power he has as a strategist should be used for balance instead. or something like that, it's been years since i last read this bit lol.

Now that i think about it, Altair appeared in the latest Sauna event. But his only involvement was about how he was one of the guy who was stuck fully naked in the bath with Deliford because they didn't know it would be a mixed gender pool day.

here he is, next to Sandalphon.

so yeah Granblue doesn't do much with him because he's an old character and they don't know what to do with him, but i keep begging for him to get relevant again. He's fun.

So glad the wday homelines brought some eyes on him ;D one day maybe they'll bring back he's the only fucker of the ship who knows that "Helel Ben Shalem" is the name of the Right Hand of God. Because they fucking dropped that in Art of Mercy and NEVER acknowledged it again. And not even the latest event have anyone realize Shalem and Sahar are Speakers. Altair start fucking speaking--

Weight: ???

Species: Spawn of Sin (Lust)

Orientation/Sexuality: Aromantic/Pansexual

Relationship: Single (ship verse dependent; doesn’t do romance)

Brief Personality: Shameless— Flirty — Intelligent

Brief Bio: A fearless being of unusual morals, Desire is considered an queer individual who will have ‘favorite' people to pick on in a friendly manner - usually those who repress their needs or desires, often of the sexual kind. Behind the shameless flirt that she is, she’s very intelligent & could very well have conversations that has nothing to do with sex at all, something that seems to be so surprising for some people if they’ve only heard her name & the experience one individual might have with her. In the same hand, she rather enjoys giving genuine sex advice for those in a sexual relationship or bolstering those who lack confidence in what to do. Because of what she is, her appearance can shift to varying degrees to reflect a person’s image of what makes one perfect & desirable if she so chooses, which would include gender-identity. 

Full Biography

(WARNING; includes implied de*th(s), implied m*tilation & implied r*pe)

     Born in the realm of Infernam as a result of her mother coupling with one of the high-arc soldier angels of Seraphine with an accidental consequence, Desire had an very unusual childhood growing up. Rather than trust Lust, Desire’s mother, to actually teach the girl anything worthwhile, the realm’s own leader Balri, essentially Desire’s grandmother, would oftentimes keep her close & teach her whatever came to mind. The spawn was quite cheerful & inquisitive, a nature that Balri wouldn’t snuff out even though she herself was not at all a cheerful individual. However, some of the teachings would be borderline cruel & unusual to anyone that would ever hear of these lessons - one such as never to fear death. Because Desire was a spawn of Infernam, she wouldn’t truly die by conventional means that would kill mortals. Yet the only way that she wouldn’t fear death, Balri would reason, was to experience death in all the many ways it could happen as well as to not fear the methods used. And those lessons started early at about the age where a human child would be seven when they could comprehend what’s happening to them & understand what it meant, to continue on for years in a slow, steady manner. The first time (perhaps much of the “lessons” in the beginning) had truly traumatized the child & feared the one that she called grandmother, begging to not go through that again, though as she’d be reminded each time, she couldn’t die. Fear was an obstacle that should be stamped out so that she never needed to be afraid. In a strange though twisted way, being reassured after each different death helped Desire to recover as well as gradually become immune to the fear of death & pain, though whether it was healthy or not would always be up for debate.

     The girl would pick up on subjects that challenged her intellect, which was praised for since she was certainly no fighter. Her status as a true ‘spawn’, one who was able to have a direct line to one of Balri’s creations, gave her a certain amount of security within the hellish realm, to which besides, none would be foolish enough to risk Balri’s possible raze to try anything. Yet with more souls coming to suffer their punishments & going to begin another life to try again in the mortal coil, Desire felt that she wanted to see what it was like outside of Infernam. It took some time to request permission & receive it, but it would eventually happen when she was at least fully mature. She could see what mortals were like.

     Multiple times she’d go out & visit a world at random, observing & interacting as she saw fit. Because of her ability to change her shape, she could appear as a native regardless of her lack of knowledge, oftentimes in a form that was seen as highly appealing. She would sometimes go as a ‘he’ instead as well, giving her a sense of fluidity with her identity over time, though she would still think herself more feminine than masculine. During these visits, she would experience both good & bad - sometimes an attack from a jealous prospective mate of someone Desire was flirting with, or randomly mauled for a law she unwittingly broken in some less civilized worlds. She had even been occasionally killed by the more violent mortals, to which case the lessons she learned from Balri allowed her to not only be unafraid but to also laugh at them, which she found struck them with uncertainty or even fear. It embedded a sense of control over herself in that she didn’t have to fear anyone - save for one, the one that had taught her in the first place of this fact. Balri was perhaps one of the few that could truly snuff out her life if she did anything to truly displease the elder god.

     These lessons had ceased when Balri had run out of ways to kill a person, though what she learned from them had carried over to other situations that she hadn’t experienced from her grandmother in the form of a particularly violent inhabitant of Infernam that overpowered the relatively young woman, forcing himself onto her. The violation was initially horrendous, yet she wanted to give him no satisfaction - and so she’d laugh at him, doing so even when he’d snarl & did what he could to maul her even while he kept at it. But it worked to make him pause in confusion & maybe horror so that she could overpower him & killed him with a blade that was lethal to other born inhabitants of Infernam. Just another lesson, but one she learned on her own. 

    At one point she was finally able to meet her father, the high-arc angel that had remained in Salri’s militia even after earning his right to return to the mortal coil as any desired race as well as what kind of circumstance (high born noble, for example). While initially surprised & somewhat mortified that the event that happened so long ago resulted in a child he never knew, the father known as Sablo took her right into his arms to hug her. Sablo was a much different experience to what she had with her grandmother as well as her mother who would overenthusiastically greet her & inquire if she had any good experiences as though they were best friends more than mother & daughter, yet it wasn’t a bad experience. It was probably the only time she truly experienced real familial affection, which only grew to a familiar feeling as often as she’d visit. He’d start to offer her a place in Seraphine, saying that she had a place there since she was technically a inhabitant because of him, to which was tempting though she’d decline it each time after that first initial day to think about it. She didn’t think she’d have a true place there.

     During one of those visits to Seraphine to see her father, that was where she’d meet Rosalia & the other fragment gods, at a time long after Aridem had turned traitor. For some odd reason she sort of latched herself onto the overly-solemn woman, finding it fun to pick on her much to Rosalia’s discomfort. Much as Rosalia would often try to dissuade the other from wanting her company, there’s just a point where she seemed to accept it as well as come to realize that there was a little more to Desire than just constant sex jokes & advising when it wasn’t needed. For Desire, that pretty much qualified them as friends.

     Her years blurred on to having as much fun as she can get, sex being on the high part of the list especially since she was good at it, learning what turned others on & how to use that against them to bring them to a high they wouldn’t forget. But it got boring at some point - all things eventually did for an immortal, after all. At first she solved that by moving on into the mortal coil, testing & learning with mortals that came in far more different forms, though that too was not as fun at a certain point. What she learned though was cataloged, an odd habit that grew into a hobby as she started looking at it from a academic point-of-view. It really didn’t help others unless they were Rift-drifters (those that had gotten lost inside the Rift on accident & ended up on a far different world), but all the same, it helped to respark her interest in learning beyond flesh needs. Delving back into such studies was a lot more satisfying, & at some point she found that teaching one about sex was quite more fun as well. Advice was freely given to those that had little idea what to do, yet she doesn’t usually teach in a physical sense much as some might have expected of her.

     With the war, she was essentially told to stay out of the way since she was no fighter - capable of defending herself wasn’t the same as working with Balri’s army which would join with her sister’s own. It was one of those rare times that Balri meant it in a concern manner instead of her usual cold manner even if the tone said as much for one who didn’t know her as well as Desire would. Which to be fair, it was because of the Void - perhaps the only other thing that could destroy an immortal like herself & even a elder god like Balri. And so she did as she was told, leaving the universe entirely after wishing those in it well. Yet she had a feeling, deep down, that she wouldn’t ever see most of them again. Living in a new world, she made herself a comfortable lifestyle, though at some point her wanderlust would eventually kick in. Plus what few that had survived she could sense them when they would eventually come.
