Nergal
CharacterNergal is a power-hungry warrior who serves the shaman Apsu, showing up as a boss in the Super Famicom role-playing title Sailor Moon: Another Story. Among the Oppositio Guardians she stands as the dark mirror of Sailor Mars, and her name recalls a Babylonian deity tied to fire and the planet Mars.
Appearance
Nergal keeps her hair cropped into a short, defiant pixie cut, a look that suits her fierce and confrontational streak.
Personality
Above all else, Nergal prizes raw strength. She is a woman driven by hunger for power, and her service under Apsu is nothing more than a means to grow stronger rather than any real devotion. Within the Oppositio Guardians she functions as the shadow counterpart to Rei Hino, better known as Sailor Mars, and her fiery theme echoes the Babylonian god whose name she carries.
Abilities
Her signature move is Hell's Flame Bird, which sends a bird of flame crashing into her foes. She also commands Dark Fire, a technique she holds in common with Koan. Beyond flame, she can cast Genkaku to blanket the field in illusion, unleash Kamaitachi for a flurry of quick cutting strikes across every enemy, and wield Fascination, a hypnotic charm that Ishtar uses as well.
