This article is a stub. You can help by expanding it

A Role (役割ロール) is the usage inflection set on every Rule. According to Maria, the wielder of the Sacred Artifact defines the Role based on the identity of the wielder's soul (i.e. what the wielder desires), and in turn the Role decides the alignment of the Rule. The Sacred Artifact responds to the wielder's identity when it manifests the Rule it houses. While an individual may have multiple Rules attached to multiple owned Sacred Artifacts, they may only have one Role. A Role can be forced upon someone by the majority within a World based on what the masses believes or wants their Role to be.

Rules enforced unto individuals of certain Roles

The efficacy of a Rule is dependent on the Role of the individual the Rule is enforced upon. For example, Shadow of Triton's Rule of washing things away strongly opposes Robinson and the Protagonist due to their shared Role of the Wanderer: they cannot oppose being swept away by the washing, as individuals who wander and go with the flow. As a result, they forget nearly everything. However, the one thing they will always remember is being washed away.

Role-Rule Pairing

In Tokyo, only one unique Role and Rule Pairing may exist at any time. If a person happens to share the same Role-Rule Pairing, they are not allowed entry into Tokyo. Therefore, characters such as Unknown icon.pngOdin can give their memories to Transients already existing in the city to act as a proxy. A Rule a Sacred Artifact holds is only given meaning by the Role of the wielder of that Sacred Artifact. Thus, it may be desirable to exchange Roles with someone to give new meaning to their Rule, as was the case for Triton's Shadow and Triton.

Changing a Role

To change one's Role is akin to changing one's fate or purpose. However, no person is bound to their Role, and it's possible for one to change their own Role or be given one.

List of Other Roles/Rules

  • The fae in the world of Tír na nÓg possess the Rule of the Changling, which allows any injuries they sustain to be transferred onto someone else. The only way to defeat them is to eliminate them instantaneously, such as with Balor's Evil Eye.

Notes

  • While not directly stated that Black Storm (Leviathan's) Role is of the Sacrifice, Ziz and Behemoth both have the same role. As the trio are heavily associated with each other, it's best to assume that Leviathan shares the same Role.
  • Suzuka's Rule of Revelation only applies to one of her three swords. The other two Rules are currently unknown.
  • The Protagonist is the only character to have their Role change during the progression of the story, going from 'Wanderer' in the beginning of the Main Quest to 'Dragon' at the end of Chapter 9.
  • In the Raiders of the Lost Isle event, Triton gives away his Role of the All-Father to Dagon in exchange for the Role of Educator. It's unclear if Triton regains his original Role or keeps his Role of Educator after Dagon's defeat, and what his Role is in other loops.
