Representatives | World Representatives represent one of the worlds connected to the city, with unique customs and ideas in tow. These players each wield extremely powerful [[Rule]]s rooted in the belief systems of their individual worlds.<ref name="ch13">[[Release Campaign:Main Quest Chapter 13|Chapter 13: Invaders ~Undivine Destruction~]]</ref><sup>1</sup> They hold the responsibility to ensure the continued existence of their own worlds. If they sense that a threat may endanger their world, many will look to take action against it, even if it deals with the {{Transient icon|Protagonist}}. | ||
Representatives are often but not always [[Pillar|world pillars]]. Notable examples of Representatives without their own Pillars are {{Transient icon|Michael}} whose world denied him access to the Tree of Life<ref name="ch9">[[Release Campaign:Main Quest Chapter 9|Chapter 9: Crafters - Karmic Engine]]</ref><sup>2</sup> and {{Transient icon|Temujin}} whose pillar is currently in the possession of {{Transient icon|Ulaanbaatar}}, who is hiding from him. Additionally, some Representative’s Pillars may be broken, such as {{Transient icon|Marduk}} whose stone tablet cannot retain memories after rebirth. | |||

===Connection to Exiles=== | |||
Due to many worlds not holding the concept of | Representatives are typically related to or connected to the world’s [[exile]] and their banishment from the world. While many played a direct hand in the exiling, some exiles banished themselves out of their own volition, usually done in response to the Representative’s actions, as was the case with [[El Dorado|El Dorado's]] [[Exile#El Dorado|Quetzalcoatl]]. As exiles typically represent the minority belief in a world, their banishment is seen as a necessity for the continuation of the world. | ||
=== | |||
Within a world's hierarchy, the Representatives are placed above the exile. This results in the {{Transient icon|Protagonist}} being fated to lose against them, though this can be circumvented through their Double Dragon ability. | |||
===Conceptual Weakness=== | |||
Due to many worlds not holding the concept of a space war within their mythologies, many World Representatives hold a conceptual disadvantage against space attacks and alien invasions, as seen with {{Transient icon|Nodens}}’s invasion that was able to kill most of the Representatives. The only exceptions to this weakness are those from [[Utopia]] and the world of the [[Old Ones]]. After that event, this weakness has been brought to the attention of the [[Game Masters]] and is now controlled to make sure it doesn’t happen again.<ref name="nightglows">[[Event Quest:Nightglows of the Starlit Sky|Nightglows of the Starlit Sky]]</ref><sup>12 14</sup> | |||
===Title Transfer=== | |||
According to {{Transient icon|Bael}} and as seen in [[Event_Quest:Raiders_of_the_Lost_Isle_2:_The_Promised_Undersea_City|Canaan - The Promised Land]], the position of World Representative can be transferred to another suitable individual by the choosing of the current World Representative, {{Transient icon|Dagon}} in [[Canaan|Canaan's]] case. | |||
World Representatives can lose their status by being defeated by someone stronger than them, as was the case with {{Transient icon|Daikoku|icon=daikoku01_skin5|show name=n}} [[Daikoku|Okuninushi]]. During the event known as the Kuni-yuzuri, the Transfer of the Land, {{Transient icon|Amaterasu}} and her fellow heavenly deities attacked [[Takamagahara]], overthrowing Okuninushi as World Representative of that world.<ref name="ch13"></ref><sup>23</sup> | |||
===Reserve Representatives=== | |||
World | Reserve Representatives are those who are next in line for the title of World Representative in the event that the true Representative is unable or no longer able to act. They can use some of the original Representative's [[Rule]] if certain conditions are met. As dictated by [[the App]], one of these conditions is if the current World Representative is still in [[Tokyo]].<ref name="ch13"></ref><sup>15 25</sup> | ||
Reserves do not have to originate from the world they represent, as seen with {{Transient icon|Ose}}, {{Transient icon|The Hero}}, and {{Transient icon|Shinya}}. Ose acts as a proxy for Odin as he had inherited a portion of his memories,<ref name="ch14">[[Event Quest:Main Quest:Chapter 4 Release Campaign|Chapter 14: Entertainers & Rule Makers ~Prelude~ -Alibi of the Urban Legends-]]</ref><sup>7</sup> the Hero is stated to be the future inheritor of Odin's [[Role]] and Rule,<ref name="hero">{{Transient icon|The Hero}} Research File 2</ref>, and Shinya acts as a proxy for Zeus despite being a Tokyoite.<ref name="ch9"></ref><sup>10</sup> | |||

** {{Transient icon|Perun}} claims to have prevented Zeus from directly joining The Game due to them sharing the same Role and Rule. In truth, the Prize System surrounding the {{Transient icon|Protagonist}} has been created by converting the System responsible for perpetuating the other world of [[Olympus]]; it's this System that possesses the same Role and Rule as Zeus. | |||
