{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|Transient from Gehenna who closely resembles a lion. After his summoning to Tokyo he's gotten into using his dexterous hands in the figure making business and working hard in otaku activities. His breadth of interest is wide from prototype work to painting, from garage kits to plastic models. If there's new techniques and themes to be, Vapula is adaptable and quick to use them immediately. That jacks up his expenses, so he's decided to work at his favorite hobby shop to to fund it all. He can use his hobby knowledge to do well there, but with so many tempting new products in the store his savings never last long. They say Vapula's summoner will naturally pick up knowledge through Vapula's talks about otaku subjects and practice dexterity through making models with him. A certain Transient's machine body has drawn in Vapula, but Vapula's gotten so into it that it tends to get him put at arm's length.}}

{{#vardefine:transient jp en research file|The books of sorcery and crafting Sacred Artifact(s?) Vapula possesses exist as both the original and include copies of later editions. Among those books is one that has the golem creation method written within it. Vapula's power can read those books, execute their contents, then make objects move. A golem's body is treated as an enclosed area, and it can move without limit. It is the same as the robots and automatons made by other Transients based on their own memories. However, if the vessel's integrity is attacked it is the easiest thing to destroy. Things made into golems sometimes run wild, but they do have the ability to be set that way in emergency situations if needed. When faced with trouble, sometimes a number of rampaging golems run away. Golems behave as though they possess wills at first glance, but they only act in accordance to the orders they are given. As such, Vapula believes they don't have any wills. Due to that, he's interested in an artificial intelligence who exists in the same way and admires a student who attends the same school he goes to.}}

* In Ars Goetia, Vapula is considered as a powerful Great Duke of Hell that commands thirty-six legions of demons. He is depicted as a winged lion.
* As a winged lion, he is also based on the symbol of [[wikipedia:Mark_the_Evangelist|St. Mark the Evangelist]].
* Vapula has a verbal tic of saying 'pura', which may be a reference to either the latter part of his name or the Japanese abbreviation for plastic model, e.g. Gunpla.
* His Charge Skill [[wikipedia:Shem_HaMephorash|Shem HaMephorash]] means "the explicit name" in Hebrew and is a name of the God in Judaism. It is also used in relation to Ars Goetia and golems.
