Exile

In The Game, there were special characters that were exiled from their world due to one reason or another, mainly due to their belief conflicted with the majority of the world's. The exiled characters were removed from their world and were given the role of Wanderer, someone who is not tied to a specific place. In some form, the exiled were banished from their respective worlds by someone associated with or the representatives themselves, although in some case the exile happened by themselves willingly. The souls of the exiles were coalesced by unknown means into a vessel we now know as the Protagonist. Though not readily apparent, those people who have special abilities to sense more are able to tell, usually as a vague feeling, that there are multiple souls in the Protagonist. The game often describes the souls within the Protagonist as resembling dragons.

Exiles

Listed here are the exiles that have been mentioned or alluded to in the main quest, events, character quests, and summopedias:

Takamagahara

Spoilers
Exile: Susanoo Rule: To cut authority A god in Japanese mythology, Susanoo-no-Mikoto is associated with the seas and storms. He is the brother of Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi. He and his siblings have Sacred Artifacts based on the three Imperial Regalia of Japan; with Amaterasu in possession of the mirror Yata no Kagami, Tsukuyomi with the jewel Yasakani no Magatama, and Susanoo holding the sword Kusanagi. Amaterasu often describes the protagonist as her brother and, in a way, Tsukuyomi too but he sees that the Protagonist isn't his brother, rather they merely house his soul. Tadikarao identified Susanoo inside the Protagonist via scent and describes him as being a delinquent that terrorized their village so much that their elder sister could no longer leave the house. Also, in the Summer River Adventure Quest, he called the Protagonist "that shameless brother" as the one who caused Amaterasu to hide inside the cave. This mirrors the Japanese tale where Susanoo, in a fit of rage after being defeated, caused Amaterasu to flee the heavens and hid inside a cave refusing to get out, plunging the world into darkness and chaos. Tadikarao was one of the gods to get her out, where his job was to open up the cave Amaterasu hid in. In the Paradise Hot Spring Village of Hell event, Ōkuninushi instantly recognized the Protagonist as Susanoo. Susanoo was described to have disappeared into the ends of the far-off plateau.

Wa no Kuni

Spoilers
Exile: Yoshitsune Rule: To cut distance A legendary figure in Japanese history, Minamoto no Yoshitsune was a military commander of the Minamoto clan of Japan in the late Heian and early Kamakura periods. Multiple characters in-game have noticed Yoshitsune inside protagonist but the more prominent is Oniwaka, also called Benkei, a loyal and strong retainer of Yoshitsune. Shino mentions that the Protagonist's ability to cut through distance was similar to his beloved, which is Fusehime from the Japanese epic novel Nansō Satomi Hakkenden, but closer to the "source". This is due to speculation that Fusehime may have descended from Yoshitsune's bloodline. This is also why most of the Hakkenshi feel a strong sense of duty towards the Protagonist as it is in their blood to carry out the job their family was tasked with.

Kamuy Kotan

Spoilers
Exile: Aynurakkur Rule: To cut stasis A legendary culture hero in Ainu mythology, Aynurakkur (meaning "Father of the Ainu") is attributed to teaching the Ainu people how to hunt, fish, gather, and many more domestic skills. Described as a man wreathed in smoke and covered in flames, the hero was a virtuous character that would fight for the sake of humanity. He would eventually leave the people after being disappointed in the decline of the Ainu. He was also attributed as a Kamuy (spirit or god) named Oyna-Kamui meaning God of Oina (Oina meaning "ancient" in Ainu language). Another name the hero had was Okikurumi which was likely the Ainu name of the Japanese hero Minamoto no Yoshitsune who fled from Japan to Hokkaido to avoid his brother's sword. There, along with his retainer Benkei, would teach the Ainu people how to hunt, fish, and other useful skills. Yoshitsune would then be called Okikurumi. Being bestowed a sacred sword on him from the god of parenting, Aynurakkur would call upon his father's thunder through the sword, annihilating the evil deities in the realm of darkness. However, getting disappointed with the corruption among the people of Kamui Kotan, aged Aynurakkur eventually disappears from there, leaving the people in regret. There are number of stories that speak about the origin of Aynurakkur. He is said to be the son of, variously, the elm tree, thunder, the sun, or Pakor-kamuy, the god of plague. Korpokkur calls the Protagonist as a child of the dragon, to which he explains that those were attributed to thunder in his world of Kamuy Kotan. A thunder god in Ainu mythology, Kanna Kamui was also depicted as a dragon and together with the spirit of an elm tree, bore Oyna-kamui. Outside of Korpokkur, Kimun Kamui tells the Protagonist how they smell similar to a hero from his world that had set off on a journey with a sacred sword in hand along with a helmet and armor. Kimun Kamui says that his pelt if made into armor, would be kept as a precious and noble item, and asks again if the Protagonist knew nothing of what he was talking about but still suggest they might have been a famous hero. Horkeu Kamui, a trainer for heroes in his world, was adamant about the Protagonist being the one that would wield a sacred sword that would cut Kamuy Kotan's stagnation held only by the heroes of his world.

Hourai

Spoilers
Exile: Nuwa Rule: To cut the heavens/skies A mother goddess in Chinese mythology, Nüwa, is credited to have created humanity with her brother Fuxi, as well as repairing the Pillar of Heaven. Fuxi senses in the Protagonist the spirit of Nüwa. He calls the Protagonist both his sister and wife. Hakumen notes that she came from Hourai to Wa no Kuni possibly as the Thousand-Year Vixen whom later became Daji whom was one of the subordinates Nuwa summoned to wreak havoc in the Shang Dynasty and eventually it's fall. Hakumen oftentimes calls the Protagonist as her "lord" and revealed in Chapter 10 that it was Nuwa, who she describes as a wicked woman who bent the world to her will which Hakumen loved and respected. Shennong carries with him a Sacred Artifact that previously belonged to Nuwa, and in Chapter 10, he describes the light coming from the Protagonist's sword as belonging to the hero who disappeared from Hourai, the Great Mother Nuwa.

Garothman

Spoilers
Exile: - Rule: To cut thoughts? Possibly Iblis a figure frequently occurring in the Quran involved with the creation of Adam (Islam) but refused to prostrate himself before him and his refusal caused him to be cast out of Jannah (paradise). Iblis is also often attributed to the devil, Shaitan. In Ifrit's Character Quest, Shaytan, an angel of fire, and their fall from Eden was attributed to the fall of Iblis, also a being of fire.

Makara mentions in the Golden Treasure Ship event that the protagonist reminds him of his former master Varuna, but they possess different Rule and Role, and that he feels that the protagonist disappeared into the sky instead of the ocean's depth. In mythology, Makara is sometime depicted to be the mount of both Varuna and Kamadeva.

They were the ones to rule over Deva Loka, gave everyone blessings and faith but eventually gave up their passion and disappeared from their world.

In the mythology, Kamadeva was burnt to ash by Shiva after he was requested by Parvati to shoot arrow of love at him for him to notice her, and only live in disembodied form called Ananga, spreading his love throughout the universe. Some mythologies also had Kamadeva eventually reincarnated Pradyumna, son of Vishnu's avatar Krishna and his wife Rukmini. In game, Parvati mentions during the Gendarme event that she and Shiva did not married out of love, but for the sake of the people. Taromaiti also reveals in Valentine Panic event that Kalki and the residents from the World of Devaloka had long forgotten the concept of love due to it being deemed "unnecessary". Aizen has unnatural amount of animosity toward the protagonist and calls them "Romantic Singularity".

After the child was born, gifts were bestowed to the mother and son for a year until the child's first birthday, which a beautiful horse was sent instead. The horse took the child to the heaven to meet the Sun God for a year, before the child was returned to the mother. By this time, the second eldest brother who supported her had passed away, leaving the mother with grief as she had no other family member left, so she rode the horse with her son to the heaven to meet the Sun God, who revealed to her that he's the father of her child. The Sun God then granted the Irabu Island to the mother and son, who became the patron gods that protected the island.

Spoilers
Exile: - Rule: - Possibly Kāne, God of Creation, Life, Dawn, Sun, and Sky. Tangaroa Infinity, who has elements of Sea God Kanaloa, is shown to hate civilization and prosperity and desires to defile, destroy, and sink them to the bottom of the sea. In mythology, Kanaloa is sometimes portrayed as god of death and underworld in opposed Kāne who rules over life, as he's incapable of breathing life into a status like him, and instead claimed to Kāne that once the time of the man created by him is up the man will die and he will belong to him.

Jamukha was elected Gur Khan, universal ruler, by the remaining tribes, the assumption of this title was the final breach between Temujin and Jamukha, leading Temujin to form a coalition of tribes to oppose him. This eventually led to Jamukha's death due to his followers betraying him and refusing to join Temujin in his group as there could only be one Mongol lord and asking to die a noble death without blood being spilled. Temujin sees his blood brother in the Protagonist and asserts that he will not let him get away again, that the Protagonist either join his ordu or choose death.

He rides a golden boar made by dwarves named Gullinbursti. He is eventually defeated and killed by the fire jötunn Surtr during Ragnarök due to the lack of his sword during the ensuing battle. Surtr exclaims that the Protagonist has Freyr's soul and that no matter what happens, they could not defeat Surtr due to their original battle having Surtr as the victor and the Protagonist was still without his sword.

He is also carrying Freyr's sword which held the Rule to cut through defeat.

Kitezh

Spoilers
Exile: Veles Rule: Unknown A god of the underworld, earth, waters, and cattle in Slavic mythology, Veles (also called Volos), was the opponent of the supreme thunder god Perun. The two were in constant battle due to some accounts stating that Veles stole Perun's cattle or his wife away from him. Perun would punish Veles with death, though this was not permanent and Veles would again return. Due to this, Veles was often considered as a shepherd for souls to the underworld. Veles is often described as a serpent or a dragon. Veles is also known as Volos which is the Russian or Ukrainian word for "hair" and as such, Veles was also described as having the appearance of a bear or a wolf. Veles and Volos are sometimes separated into two different deities, Veles retaining the god of the underworld and death aspect while Volos became a god of pasturelands, cattle, and harvest. Volos notes that the Protagonist is similar to his old friend in Kitezh who was always nice to him. Perun declares that the soul of Veles resides inside the Protagonist. Chernobog greets Volos as the Eastern Devil Veles but was corrected to Good Harvest Volos; he also notes about the promise Perun and Veles made when an attack by Alberich was split into two before disappearing as they were attacked.

Tír na nÓg

Spoilers
Exile: Lugh Rule: To cut gap The exile from this world is Lugh, God of Sun and Light, and Balor's grandson. Lugh was fated to be killed by his grandfather but was incidentally thrown into the ocean, where in some accounts a Leanan Sidhe familiar of his father saved him. He was then raised by Manannán. He joins the Tuatha Dé Danann and after many battles, he eventually slays Balor using a sling-stone that pierces through his eye. Balor describes Tír na nÓg as a realm that the old perish at the hand of the young in order for the world to remain full of youth and life. This is a nod to how Balor, the king of the Fomorians was slain by Lugh, his grandson, who then became the king of the Tuatha Dé Danann in real-life mythology. The rule to cut the "gap" might be closer to being able to hit at something's weakness or "gap" in their defense as Balor's weakness was his eye which was pierced by a shot made by Lugh with his sling.

Eden

Spoilers
Exile: Shaytan Rule: To cut gravity An evil spirit in Abrahamic religions, Shaytan, also known as the Devil, is an entity that entices humanity into sin and falsehood. Though he is usually depicted as a fallen angel who possessed great piety and beauty but was fell from Heaven due to his rebellion against God. The fallen angel is often attributed to the angel Lucifer, whose name means "Lightbearer" in Latin, due to the translation of the name Helel, meaning "morning star", who tried to dethrone the high god in Canaan mythology, El. In the Book of Revelation, the angel Michael defeated the Devil, appearing as a great red dragon, and casting it down from Heaven. In the 1667 epic poem "Paradise Lost" written by English poet John Milton, it tells the story of how Lucifer, who has now taken the moniker of Satan after falling from Heaven, and his plans to organize the other fallen angels in Hell and corrupt the Earth and mankind by allowing Adam and Eve to eat fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Multiple denizens of Gehenna have noted or seen the soul of Shaytan inside the protagonist; namely Zabaniyya, Marchosias, and Lucifuge, who calls the Protagonist "Lightbearer". In the Valentine Festival event, Ziz was able to recognize Shaytan's ability when the Protagonist used it. Michael also knows of the soul in Protagonist and calls him his brother.

Gehenna

Exile: Lucifer Rule: - Not much is known about the exile from Gehenna.

He calls them their master who traded his soul for Mephistopheles to become a faithful butler but at the end, eluded him and ascended to heaven. Though this, it is assumed that the exile is the human Faust from German legends. Faust was an erudite that was dissatisfied with life and made a deal with the devil to gain further knowledge and magic powers. The devil sent his representative, Mephistopheles, to act as Faust's servant for a set number of years where at the end, his soul will be claimed by the devil. In some versions of the story, Faust gains access to heaven after constant striving and through the plea of an woman who Faust had met.

Eurynome is also the name of an Oceanid who, along with the Nereid Thetis, raised the blacksmith god Hephaestus after he was thrown from Mount Olympus by his birth parents Zeus and Hera. Ophion recognizes the soul of his wife inside the Protagonist, often calling them his wife and other saccharine words. He notes that her Sacred Artifact is a scythe that used to belong to her grandmother Gaia, confirming the fact that the Eurynome in the game is both the titan creatrix Eurynome and the oceanid Eurynome. Hephaestus calls the Protagonist his mother and often becomes really shy when within their presence.

Tezcatlipoca took revenge by turning the people at the time, whom Quetzalcoatl was fond of, into monkeys which caused Quetzalcoatl to blow them away. He then stepped down from being the sun to create new people. The third sun was Tlāloc and the fourth sun being Chalchiuhtlicue, Tlalocs second wife; both of them stepped down from being the sun due to the machinations of Tezcatlipoca. After the fourth sun, Quetzalcoatl would not accept the constant destruction of his people and traveled into the underworld and stole their bones from Mictlāntēcutli. The fifth and current sun is Huītzilōpōchtli, also known as the Blue Tezcatlipoca. Quetzalcoatl is also written to have a twin brother, the psychopomp Xolotl associated with lightning and death.

Aaru

Spoilers
Exile: Seth Rule: Unknown God of storms, chaos, and the desert, Set, was an important deity in ancient Egyptian religion. One of his most notable appearance was in the myth of how he had killed and dismembered his own brother Osiris which eventually led to the birth of Horus after Osiris' wife Isis reassembled her husband. Horus would then come to defeat Set and become the ruler of the desert. Another notable story of Set is his journey with Ra on his journey through the Duat where Set would defend Ra's boat from the embodiment of chaos Apep (Greek name is Apophis) in the form of a giant serpent. During the Valentine Colosseum event, it is recalled that a prevalent rumor in Aaru held that Seth himself was Apophis in disguise, although this was untrue. Ash took on his brother's name after Seth was exiled from their world of Aaru. He has stated multiple times that the protagonist reminds him so much of his brother; whether it be mannerisms, personality, or even scent. In Seth's Character Quest, it is revealed that his brother, the real Seth, was both the protector of the desert that he had admired and aspired to become but also the one who brought death to those that stray too far away from the order of their world known as Apophis. Horus's research file talks about an uncle he had admired but was brought down by the machinations of his elders during a power struggle in their family and used him as the figurehead for his uncle's defeat.

With all the hints we get from Onyankopon, I think it mostly likely going to be Owuo.
