An idea for Nero

[DreadnoughtDT]

This is basically the transcript of a conversation me and The Crazy Demon had.

TCD:Is a Nero gameplay feature i just created it will be around the Devil bringer and DT and it will be like stiles but with a twist the menu title of this will be."The bringer of demons".

It will need more weapoms lets take a example

Ifrit in dt

It will star like a floating ghost behind Nero but if Nero keeps fighting in Dt it will level up just like Dante styles do.

There is going to be 3 levels example


1 level:Floating ghost respective color of weapom like aura and demonic voice

2 Level:Floating gohst almost gone and flash of a demon form in Nero

3 Level:Complete ghost gone,scaly skin of dragon on nero and wings(cause we are using ifrit and it looks like dragons mouth for me)


Also every new level will give you news moves for that weapom and will make nero voice demonic for each level

DT:Nice! Nero's head should look like a dragon's too, just for that last fiery touch! And a tail. Everything looks cooler with a tail.

Hmm... How about this for Alastor.

level 1: Floating blue ghost with wings and dark blue electricity surging from the ghost to Nero like puppet strings. (This symbolizes Alastor's desire to enslave all humans)

level 2: Basically the same thing, although the ghost is faded and every time the electricity surges, Nero changes to a full demon, but only for a split second.

level 3: No ghost. Nero has feathers and bird/bat-like wings along with armor that has a helmet that looks like a bird's head.

Seem good enough?

TCD: Perfect but we need to decide what kind of moves we need to hat for example

Ifrit

Level 1: Nero uses the devil bringer to puch the enemy and it goes to floor the ghost goes and uses his puch to ignite the enemy and kick it away

Level 2:Nero uses the bringer to grab the enemy by his neck and crush it and setting it in fire

Level 3:Nero uses the bringer grab the enemy them he fly he set it in fire and thows it to ground creating a fire explotion

Killer moves for a Frost arent they?

DT: Well, in DMC 1 the Ifrit was the preferred Frost killer, so yeah, these moves are gonna send a Frost crying home to mommy!

Here are Alastor's moves.

level 1: Nero grabs the enemy and does the normal Buster move, but as the enemy is released from his grasp the ghost grabs it and electrocutes it.

level 2: Nero slams the enemy into the ground, making a shockwave of electricity.

level 3: Nero makes sure his enemy will never taunt him again with a shock so powerful the victim explodes.

And then there is around the time we got the idea to make the thread. And I got the honors of making it! Yayz!

 

[The crazy demon]

i have been thinking what will be the world of demons if we used this with Sparda sword

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Hmm... Let's find out!

Nero DT/w Sparda sword (Since Nero is Sparda reincarnated or at least a long lost son, we can safely assume that he would resonate with the sword of Sparda. Perhaps even stronger than Dante could.)

level 1: A black ghost appears behind Nero and carries the distinct forehead jewel, horns, and bug wings of Sparda. However, all the other traits are similar with Nero's Yamato ghost.
Buster: Nero grabs the enemy like normal, but slams them around a few times and then shocks them.

level 2: The ghost somewhat fades, and Nero's body pulses with black and red lightning.
Buster: Nero burns anything he grabs. When he slams them down or throws them, it creates a shockwave.

level 3: The ghost is completely gone, save for a faint shadow. Nero only changes to a full demon during attacks and busters.
Buster: Nero grabs an enemy the exact same way he grabbed Sanctus and mutters "I've had enough of your bull****!" or "I'm a demon, and you're DEAD!" Then he smacks them around for a bit, shoves a summoned sword into the enemy and throws it.

level 4: (Only available after a cutscene. If the DB was lower than level three, it automatically skips levels to get to level four.)
Has Sparda's traits and Nero's traits mixed together. It has the armor like look of Nero's DT, and the forehead jewel, horns and bug wings like Sparda.
Buster: Nero grabs the enemy and unleashes a combo with Sparda so fast that you can't see it. The enemy then falls to pieces.

Whew! That took a while! But it's still awesome!

 

[The crazy demon]

Well lets try it with Nevan

Level 1:Ghost of Nevan behind Nero purple aura with bats around him
Buster:Nero uses the bringer launch the enemy in hair and makes the bats strike the foe

Level 2:Ghost almost gone,More bats around Nero and spark around his body
Buster:Nero stars playing guitar and bats go to the enemy later the bats will surround the enemy and explode in a ball of lighting

Level 3:Ghost gone,a cloud of bats around Nero but he has gotten Vampire looking armor and claws and of course fangs
Buster:Nero will grab the enemy send bats to bite it slash it with the claws a bite it draining demonic energy(will restore devil gauge and heal) and lets the lifeless corse to explode causing damage to enemies

I think that the permenent devil state his arm is in should spread till it's to his shoulder and half his face

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

I think that the permenent devil state his arm is in should spread till it's to his shoulder and half his face

And then later in the game, he becomes a full demon permanently. His shirt is completely torn except for a small scrap, but his pants are intact. (Think Possessed Arius from DMC2) At first, Kyrie is afraid, but embraces him once she realizes that Nero is still himself. However, there's no way in the human realm, heaven or hell for him to change back. It's, like I said, permanent.

 

[Noble Aeonwar Ladonne]

it might fly

 

[The crazy demon]

Well DT thats something we forgot.......we created forms with wings and we didnt put that it can fly........but ok.Oh well i think it will be better to make Nero in complete form for ever when the game is ending.

Also costume selection because theres is maybe someone that wants to play with human nero maybe

 

[Noble Aeonwar Ladonne]

an excelent idea mr. demon

 

[The crazy demon]

Is Mr.Crazy Demon

 

[Meg]

How would he become a full demon permanently? If Dante and Vergil are half demon and can go back and forth Nero shouldn't just be like "TA DA! Demon form." What ideas do you have? I was thinking the demon possessing his arm slowly takes over the rest of his body, but not his brain, so he's still Nero. Or maybe some type of item/spell he gets. Hmmm....

 

[The crazy demon]

Well we are starting so we normally should get to that point

One way of doing that will be Nero devil bringer to start burning and him falling unconcius in that point he will have multiple boss fights (remember missiom 17 or 18 from DMC3)He will have of course choose who he is gonna fight,these boss will be all level 3 forms of each weapom if he wins the fight he will unlock a special move for each one,but he will not unlock level 3 form.

Of course we have to create what make nero devil bringer to burn

 

[Meg]

Well if we're gonna agree with nero being related to Sparda in some way then maybe Sparda coming back could cause Nero's DB to burn and awaken his true form.

 

[The crazy demon]

Well it could be a solution but theres people that will not like it but whatever.

Maybe Nero looks at Sparda as if was a mirror but them he jumps out off the mirror and Nero steps back he cannot manage to star running and Sparda grabs the DB causing Nero to fall unconcius,he wakes and thinks if was a nightmare he gets up and his DB will start burning and there you got one way of doing it

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

What if Mundus told him the truth about his arm? Perhaps just the knowledge itself should be enough to provoke it to defend itself the only way it knows how... Make it's master stronger.

 

[The crazy demon]

well you remember the idea of Nero vs Mundus i asked you to make it better if we change it it could work perfect with this right?

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

Exactly. That's what I was kind of nodding towards anyway.

 

[The crazy demon]

Well new weapom Vengeance its look well its boulverk spear he will use it to impale enemies and of course it comes with wolfs included(Only in dt)

Level 1:Boulverk spirit behind Nero,no wolf,white and dark aura or no one(it will change white=received hit dark=striking enemy)white color eyes and demonic voice
Buster:Nero will grab enemy crush the floor with it and spirit jumps and impales it,if the enemy is too big it will just punch it sending it upwards and spirit charges and impales it

Level 2:Boulverk spirit evolved and it has more armor and a larger spear(Nero too)One wolf,and Nero with wolf like features,like fangs claws and skin growing hair(Dreadnought could explain this better)also same rules for aura but instead the hair will change
Buster:Wolf charges at enemy biting it,wolf goes Nero charges and sends enemy flying with a strike wolf runs behind it and transfor in Boulverk spirit when it hits the a wall it explodes and spear comes back to Nero(Enemy to big will be only throw spear spirit explotion)



Level 3:no spirit,Nero looking like a white wolf fully grow fangs and claws,wolf head,more musculature,also wolf feets and more bonuses,two wolfs,sameaura rules as level2
New feature
Bonus:Faster combos,more powerfull hits,higter jump power,wolf rage(like a dt in dt it will activate when heal is below 30 percent)and nero will be of course bigger
Buster:Readies to charge and send the wolf as they punish the enemy with they fangs and claws Nero will charge the spear with Demonic energy saying "MOVE OUT" to his wolfs and thowing the spear,camera focus in enemy has it flyes until hit a wall them(Nero was following it)and Nero kicks the enemy in face creating a explotion of light energy saying"The end" the explotion will kill anything that touches(Move cost half of Nero life bar to charge and takes a while to charge and you cant move it kills anything but use it when anything cant kill you)

I hope i did it right

 

[DreadnoughtDT]

So in the second form, Nero starts to grow fangs, claws and his hair grows longer, along with a thin layer of hair over his whole body? Nice! You're very good at descriptions.

Here's a new weapon, it's a fire elemental pair of swords. Guess what the name is? Phantomtail.

Form 1: A humanoid ghost of Phantom, bright orange. Nero appears to be on fire.
Buster: Nero grabs the enemy and says "this is the end for you!" then throws them into the ground, creating a small explosion. (as big as a Hell Wrath's explosion.) If the enemy is too big, he'll just have the ghost shoot a fireball at it as he hold it in place.

Form 2: Nero's features begin to become more insectoid, with mandibles, sharp claws, a scorpion's tail and small stubs of extra legs coming out from his sides. His skin starts to look like stone.
Buster: Nero stabs the enemy with his tail and throws them. If they're too big, he gnaws on their neck instead.

Form 3: Nero is completely insectoid now. His hair is gone, his body is made of a pure white stone, and his tail has lava flowing through it. Also, his mandibles have grown longer and the vestigial extra legs of the second form can now be utilized.
Bonus: DT Dash: Nero can use his extra legs for a three second speed boost. Can also be used to climb up certain walls. (Near these walls are DT rechargers, if you need it.)
Buster: Nero grabs the enemy, stabs them several times and then destroys them by shooting a fireball down their throat, which makes them inflate and burst like a balloon. If the enemy is too big, he'll rear back and toast them with his fiery breath.

THAT took longer than I thought it would... By the way, what element does Vengeance control? I was thinking Darkness? (There hasn't been a single weapon in the series besides Sparda that used the element of Darkness...)

 

[The crazy demon]

well lets say that it is light what controls vengeance because i think sparda has the right to be the oly devil arm that can use it(No one wants flying demonic dragons around)

Also you know we havent do this with yamato
