"Seek the new world, my brethren. Let us create a new home that we can flourish in!"

Riesenlied is one of the older Metal Demons in the Photosphere, second only to the veterans of the Metal Demon Wars and the Quarter Knights. She is the commander of the Metal Demons' Ebony Wings division, an elite unit of Metal Dragon-riding knights that serve as their aerial cavalry and bombardier unit. Riesenlied's charismatic presence and Dragon-riding skills have garnered much respect and trust from her Dragoons, who call her "Dark Angel". She is a veteran of many Metal Demon campaigns, most recently participating in the raid of Arctica Castle two years ago. Riesenlied highly values honour and integrity, and despises deception and terror, never incorporating them into her battlefield strategy or tactics. She despises wanton cruelty and carries her missions out with strategic and bloody precision, a divide in philosophy that has spawned many rumours about the tension between her and her Metal Demon peers.

Background

Humans

The Drifter known as "Olivia" does not share much of her past, only saying that she is merely from a very far away away. She claims to be a Beastman from a distant land, which may explain her wings and horns, which she frequently attempts to hide. The reticence she has about herself seems to have been brought about by possible discrimination against her physical features.

Metal Demons

Riesenlied was born as far back as 79 PC, to a time when living metal was at a dire shortage. Demons produced during this year were of particularly defective quality due to impurities found in the batch, leading to a sizeable number of Demons to become branded as the Tainted. Though she does not speak much about it, many other elder demons are often quick to comment how she was, and still is, a demon of inferior quality -- something that is often used against her in demon politics.

Riesenlied is the commander of the Ebony Wings, an elite division within the Metal Demons' hierarchy, and owner of the Ebony Roost, a facility within the Photosphere that is dedicated to producing elite Metal Dragons. Currently, she's largely cut off from the both of them -- management is largely delegated to other members of the Ebony Wings back home, and the Roost has always had its own staff of experts as Riesenlied is not a scientist, but largely serves as a stakeholder and planner in the future of the Roost.

Riesenlied's accomplishments include leading the Tainted as an impromptu scouting unit, eventually discovering a large cache of superior dragon fossils that they hauled back in 80 PC, ending the living metal shortage and allowing the impurities to be engineered out.

In 389 PC, the Ebony Wings joined with the Metal Demons when the Veruni assaulted them. The Photosphere came under massive siege, one that pierced its forcefield and damaged the ship's structure. Riesenlied collaborated with the Quarter Knights, and led the Ebony Wings to charge the mountains and create a snow avalanche that split the Veruni forces clean in half. Even divided, it was only with the combined efforts of all the Demon's forces that they repelled the Veruni and defended their home from destruction.

In 497 PC, the Ebony Wings participated in the assault of Arctica Castle -- a lightning assault that was preceded by the long-range bombardment of the castle's siege weapons and fortified walls, allowing for the Demons' ground forces to infiltrate and overwhelm the rest of the castle's defenders.

Powers and Abilities

  • Leadership and Charisma - More than anything else, Riesenlied is known for her ability to inspire and lead others; it is what brought about her rise to fame from nothingness, and leadership in the face of physical weakness was what made the Tainted go to where they are now. She is experienced and versed at mentoring younger Demons and finding ways to make them excel and reach their potential.
  • Swordsmanship - Though Riesenlied's strength may pale to her more powerful peers, the technique she has refined over the centuries has made her a swordswoman to be rightfully feared. Riesenlied uses mundane human swords under cover.
  • Dragon Riding - Riesenlied, like the other Ebony Wings, compensate for their weakness through peerless collaboration with their Dragon counterparts. When Riesenlied rides Odjn into battle, the two work well in tandem, able to become more than they are alone.
