History

Rifle makes his grand entrance amidst the ancient walls of the Beil Tower of Adenade, his discontent palpable as he grumbles about being assigned mundane tasks. Encountering Chalice, he presents himself in all his self-proclaimed glory as the preeminent eldervoid of Damburg, his skepticism evident when Chalice reveals his mission to vanquish the Calamity ArchMonarchs under the guidance of a goddess rather than Thanatos' Hall. Through the perilous early regions of Adenade, Rifle's admonishments echo, cautioning Chalice against lingering in dangerous territories meant for seasoned warriors.

Delving deeper into the intricate political spiral of the Britannica Void, Rifle elucidates the factions governing the Hypnos realm, delineating Damburg's dominion over military and economic matters while dismissing the façade of the Dragong Alliance's authority. Despite his propensity for grandiose proclamations, his diatribes are punctuated by seismic disturbances, a stark reminder of the volatile nature of their surroundings.

Traversing Letus Road, Rifle navigates the labyrinth of factional militias, offering insights into Damburg's military hierarchy and the asymmetrical power dynamics within Hypnos. At the Roman Citadel, his encounter with Kimlasca, a member of the Grand Militia, sparks tense exchanges as Rifle's resolve is tested against Kimlasca's unwavering determination.

Amidst the treacherous terrain of Unitia Road, Rifle's warnings fall on deaf ears as Chalice's unwavering determination propels him ever forward, his resolve unshaken by Rifle's threats of retribution. At the Visenna Tower, Rifle's clash with Kimlasca lays bare the deep-seated animosity festering within his heart, his loyalty to Damburg tested against the specter of betrayal.

The verdant expanse of Green Dahlia bears witness to Rifle's grudging acknowledgment of Chalice's timeliness, albeit veiled in brusque retorts and thinly veiled disdain. Within the Adenade Void, his confrontations with Kimlasca intensify, revealing underlying tensions and ideological rifts as they navigate the treacherous terrain.

At Medibel's Grave, his hubris is laid bare as he embarks on a perilous solo mission, his bravado eclipsed by Chalice's triumphant victory over Wahrheit. Although emerging triumphant from Medibel's Grave, Rifle's victories are tinged with resentment as he grapples with Chalice's ascendance and the specter of Lenegis's influence. Ascending the formidable peaks of Kregobor Mountain -- a mountain that embodied the actuality of Absolute Infinity, Rifle's resolve is tested in the crucible of combat as he squares off against Chalice, their clash a symphony of steel and fury echoing across the windswept slopes. At Sylvan Mountain, Rifle's pride is wounded as Chalice emerges victorious once more, his dreams of glory dashed against the unyielding resolve of his adversary. At each juncture, Rifle's ego clashes with the inexorable march of time, culminating in confrontations where his pride is laid bare in the face of Chalice's unwavering resolve.

As they ascend the ethereal staircase of tomorrow, Rifle's defiance falters in the face of Chalice's unwavering resolve, his grandiose ambitions crumbling beneath the weight of his own insecurities. As the climactic battle against the Void System looms, Rifle's facade of bravado begins to crack, revealing vulnerabilities and insecurities beneath his veneer of strength. In the aftermath of their climactic battle against the Void System, Rifle's resolve wavers, his dreams of glory tempered by the harsh reality of defeat.

Through a tumultuous journey fraught with adversity, Rifle's character arcs through moments of hubris and humility, confronting the complexities of power and the ephemeral nature of pride in the crucible of conflict.

Suggsmatics

1. Paradoxical Vantage

Rifle gazes through the Paradox Scope, a lens that is not bound by linearity or conventional perception. Instead, it reveals the paths of infinite possibilities, the crossroads of manifest and unmanifest realities. With the scope, Rifle does not merely target an enemy—he locks onto the meta-possibility that governs their being, their transfictional form, and the potentialities that exist within their essence. The scope itself bends and fractures the very rules of the universe, rendering the impossible possible. What once could not occur now becomes an inevitable reality, with Rifle’s shot cutting across the boundaries of time, reality, and all logical constraints to unmake the target in the moment of its most unimaginable paradox.

2. Twisted Time Shard of Paradox Cleaving

Rifle’s cannon is charged with a shard of twisted time, frozen in crystal. This shard is a manifestation of temporal absurdity, an object born outside the grand meta-narrative of all things. When the cannon is fired, the shard is propelled into the target, not just shattering space but unraveling paradoxes themselves. The shard cuts through the layers of time, creating ruptures that not only break the laws of reality but split the very foundational threads that hold time and possibility together. It is a time-breach that erases causality and restores nothingness, where even the concept of paradox is severed from all dimensions, eradicating any reality-fiction distinctions.

3. Void-Spike Surge of Transfictional Cataclysm

Rifle shoots the ground with a shot that does not simply strike; it fractures the core of possibility itself. The impact triggers an eruption from the earth’s foundation, summoning spikes of void that extend far beyond the limitations of space and form. These spikes are not physical—they are transfictional breaches, rupturing the very concept of being as they rise. The void does not just perforate—it unravels the essence of existence from all directions. With each spike that bursts forth, it tears away pieces of the target's very conceptual being, leaving them not just wounded but erased from the meta-narrative entirely. The eruption is an ontological cataclysm, a transcendental collapse into an absence that refuses to be reconstructed.

4. Negation Beam of Infinite Void

Rifle fires a massive wad of negative energy, an orb of absolute boundless entropy that carries within it the potential to erase entire layers of existence. Upon impact, the energy radiates outward in an expanding sphere, not merely damaging but nullifying all that it touches. The area is not just struck—it is shocked into a state of absolute void, where the reality-fiction distinctions are obliterated. The negation reaches beyond the limit of mere destruction, forcing the target into an unmakeable state. This is not an attack of power—it is an attack of complete erasure, where the very concept of being or not-being is irrelevant. All concepts are drowned in the boundless void.

5. Pataphysical Dome of Transfictional Collapse

Rifle shoots into the sky, and as his bullet ascends, it doesn’t just puncture the air—it reconfigures the manifest expanse into a black dome, an impenetrable sphere that encompasses all within it. This dome is not just physical but a transdimensional boundary that isolates the targets from all known forms of reality. Within its perimeter, the pataphysical damage is unleashed: the laws of logic, reason, and existence itself are no longer stable. The target’s very framework of being is assaulted by pataphysical anomalies—events that are logically impossible, impossibly real, and in direct defiance of any consistent rule. Every thought, every action within the dome becomes unanchored, as the structure of their existence begins to fray, leaving them vulnerable to an existence in absolute contradiction, where nothing makes sense and nothing can remain untouched.
