CHARACTER Name: Lindow Amamiya Canon: God Eater Age: 26 Timeline: Post game and light novel
Personality:
Who is Lindow Amamiya? He is the leader of the Retaliation Team of Fenrir's Far East Branch. Lindow lost his parents, friends, and home when the Aragami first appeared but he managed to escape with his elder sister, Tsubaki, and his long time friend and current wife, Sakuya. The loss left a big impact on Lindow and made him value life above everything else and wouldn't stand the thought of just sitting around while people died. He joined the Gods Eaters when he was 16 years old, two years after his sister joined. He is determined to protect everyone around him, defeat the Aragami threat, and reclaim the Earth.
He is first portrayed as someone who is laid back and casual with those around him, telling everyone to just call him by name instead of "Sir" or "Corporal Amamiya". Unfortunately this also made him look lazy which is very far from the truth. In reality, he is the most diligent and reliable worker in the branch boasting a 90% survival rate on missions. His order to everyone is "Don't die" and because of this he is always assigned to take care of the rookies. Along side this, he is sent on secret missions by the upper brass, usually to be carried out alone. He is always ordering people to not die when they leave the base. He pretty much does this to remind everyone, though some are already sick and tired of hearing it but that doesn't stop him from saying it anyway.
As a leader and Gods Eater, Lindow is one of the greatest. He looks out for his comrades on and off the battlefield. He is able to analyze a situation in the heat of battle and give out order accordingly, looking out for the wounded and facing the enemy head on. If one of his allies is stressed or otherwise, he does his best to help calm them down usually by giving them some strange order like go look for a cloud that looks like an animal. He's not to big on heart-to-hearts but he will help as much as he can if someone asks or if he thinks they need it. Underneath his cool and relaxed demeanor, Lindow harbors a deep hatred for the Aragami. When in combat, he is a vicious and merciless fighter. He rends any Aragami asunder and he does while still looking calm. Nevertheless, Lindow still values the lives of his allies over the destruction of the enemy because to him, his job isn't extermination, it's about surviving. If they survive to see the next day, then they'll be able to achieve their objective.
During the "Moon in the Welkin" mission, Lindow is declared MIA due to an overwhelming number of Aragami. It is revealed later on that it was a plot by the for director of the branch to assassinate Lindow who knew too much about the "Aegis Project". Lindow tried to stop the project but was supposedly killed. He actually survived but lost his God Arc and armlet causing the Oracle Cells, special cells injected into every Gods Eater, to go haywire and mutate his arm. He tried his best to fight the mutation but, unfortunately the cells had won and completely transformed him into a new breed of Aragami called "Corrosive Hannibal".
He was eventually found later in the story when was already an Aragami. When confronted by his allies, he ordered them to leave him saying that he'll clean up his own mess implying that he intended to kill himself. Yuu Kannagi, who took over for Lindow when he disappeared, refused to have Lindow die and gave him an order. "Don't run away from living". Lindow was untimely saved but his right arm had permanently mutated and can't be treated, but he was in complete control of it. At the end of the game, he is no longer the leader of the Retaliation Team and instead works as a ranger under the new branch director. Lindow is also seen back in active duty, training new recruits and giving them the same order to not die and a new order. "Don't run away from living."
Background:
The world of God Eater takes place in a post apocalyptic future where humanity was almost completely destroyed by a threat called "Aragami". The Aragami appeared out of nowhere one day sometime in the 2050's, and they quickly went on to become the top of the food chain, eating everything it came across. In truth, the Aragami's are colonies of single celled organisms called "Oracle Cells" and each cell is incapable of evolving on it's own, so it groups together with other cells to form a "core" and it proceeds to attract other cells forming things such as fangs, skin, bone, etc., eventually crating an Aragami. The Aragami evolve using a process called "Devouring" where they consume the target and take certain traits they posses. Their targets aren't limited to living organisms, some devour minerals such as iron and stone, some even devour machines made by humans, which is why some Aragami's poses machine like qualities, steel skin, or armor. The Aragami evolution eventually reached the point where started to develop bizarre traits such as shooting lightning, levitation, and controlling ice, and this lead to people naming certain Aragami's to the god's of mythology.
Eventually, mankind started to develop various ways to counter the Aragami threat. The first was the creation of a machine, small enough to fit in the palm of ones hand, that repels the Aragami keeping them at bay. This small machine was further developed and mass produced creating the Anti-Aragami Wall which allowed mankind to build cities and take back a part of their lives. There were other anti-Aragami weapons and items developed, such as guns and medicines, but the greatest invention and without a doubt, the greatest of the time, was the God Arc. The God Arc is Aragami based weapon with that scatters oracle cells of the Aragami and allows it's user to extract the "core" of the Aragami, ultimately making the other cells break apart undoing the creature. It is in essence an Aragami itself, but it was an one which could be controlled by humans and to use one, the user had to be injected with oracle cells and become part Aragami. The users had to wear a bracelet at all times which controlled the Oracle Cells inside the host body so that they would not run wild and mutate the host. The God Arcs were given the form of various types of swords or guns, and each user could only use either a gun or sword. The weapon was mankind's new hope and after several successful tests and missions, the Anti-Aragami Punitive Force, the God Eaters, was established. Fenrir is the company that manages and creates God Eaters.
Shortly before the Aragami appeared, Lindow was still just a kid living in Japan with Tsubaki and Sakuya. When the Aragami outbreak occurred, Lindow and Tsubaki lost their parents and homeland, and lived in fear of the Aragami thereat for a long time. When he first heard of the development of the God Arcs and the creation of Fenrir, Lindow decided to join the force and fight the Aragami, though he had to wait until he was sixteen to do so. Once Lindow was drafted into the God Eaters he displayed amazing skills with a sword, quickly dispatching any Aragami in his way earning the respect and admiration of his fellow God Eaters. He quickly grew to become one of the greatest God Eaters which caught the attention of Fenrir's upper brass and more often than not, assign secret extermination missions which he must carry out alone. His targets in these solo missions are "God-class" Aragami or "Deusphage", which are stronger than most and contact with them is forbidden under normal circumstances. Lindow successfully completes these missions without question and without fail, though he does have a difficult time fighting these Deusphage with no backup. The nature of these missions were always a mystery, he was just told to eliminate these Aragami and retrieve their cores but Lindow was never satisfied with just that, so he started investigating the actions of the man who assigns him these missions, Johannes von Schicksal the director of Fenrir's Far East Branch.
By 2071, ten years after joining, Lindow has become a very accomplished God Eater and leader of the 1st Unit though his rank is only that of a Corporal. New recruits are often placed under his tutelage because of his survival rate on missions, and the assurance that the rookies learn from the best. It here where he met Yuu Kannagi, a rookie and one of the first New-type God Eaters. He and Lindow got along well, Lindow teaching him the ropes as they went along but along with the appearance of Yuu, the number of secret missions also increased and Lindow felt he was running out of time. Shortly after Yuu joined the 1st Unit, the Far East Branch had been given another New-Type named Alisa Ilinichina Amiella who was assigned to the 1st Unit under Lindow. Lindow and Alisa had a strained relationship at first, with Alisa having strange reactions whenever he touched her. He just thought she disliked him, little did he know that she was a mentally unstable and brainwashed by Dirctor Schicksal to kill Lindow after she sees a certain kind of Aragami, which is what happened on a mission called "Moon in the Welkin".
The mission was already unusual from the start. It was suppose to be only he and Alisa on the mission but the two encountered little to no Aragami and found no trace of their target, but that was only the beginning. Later on, the two would encounter another group, consisting of Yuu, Soma, Sakuya, and Kota, the other members of the 1st Unit, on the same mission which was a breach in protocol. Lindow's alarm bells went off and told everyone to keep their eyes open for anything unusual and to watch the entrance to the ruined church while he and Alisa checked inside. It was in the old church where the two encountered the Aragami known as Prithvi Mata, the Aragami that would trigger Alisa's brainwash program and shoot Lindow. Alisa missed the shot but ended up trapping Lindow inside the church alone with the Aragami, while the others were surrounded as well. Lindow gave the order to retreat and leave him behind, and he defeated the Aragami while suffering some injuries. Shortly after, Fenrir pronounced him MIA(missing in action), possibly KIA(killed in action).
He wasn't allowed to rest just yet. After he defeated the Prithvi Mata, another Aragami called Dyaus Pita arrived and engaged Lindow in battle. Still weak and tired from the last battle, Lindow was on the verge of losing until he took a risk and plunged his God Arc into the Aragami. The attack was successful, but in the process he lost his God Arc and his bracelet, starting a painful mutation process. Fortunately, before the Dyaus Pita could deliver the final blow, Lindow was saved by a strange girl whom he later finds out is named Shio, the first human type Aragami. Shio took care for Lindow and somehow slowed down the his mutation, helping him retain his human mind though after 6 months, Shio disappeared and mutation started anew.
The mutation eventually overpowered Lindow's mind and created a new Aragami with him as the host. Corrosive Hannibal, or the Black Hannibal, as Fenrir called it, was the Aragami Lindow mutated into, a monstrous black dragon-like Aragami. Lindow's consciousness was still present within the Aragami though he would often blackout and the monster would run wild and even when he was awake, he wasn't completely in control. His emotions were running wild, easily giving into his anger and hatred for the Aragami due to the beast-like instincts he now possessed and slowly, Lindow started to lose himself. The Aragami inside his mind was beating him down and he was just about to give in. It was around this time when Yuu confronted the Black Hannibal and, due to his New-Type genes, managed to confirm Lindow was alive and had turned into an Aragami. Shortly after Yuu discovered the truth, he set out to save Lindow with the help of Ren, the soul of Lindow's God Arc.
After a fierce battle with the Black Hannibal, Yuu managed to send his consciousness along with Ren's into Lindow's and the Aragami's mind where the two found an exhausted Lindow in the church where it all started. With Yuu and Ren's help, Lindow managed to defeat the Aragami inside and return to his original self though at the cost of losing Ren. Lindow returned to his human body, though his right arm is permanently that of an Aragami, he no longer suffers the risk of mutating or the mental pangs of the beast inside. Lindow went back home with his friends and family where he immediately married Sakuya Tachibana, and returned to being a God Eater. He got his life back and is eternally grateful to Yuu for giving him another chance to live.
