NTE Character Chaos Is a Refreshing Mad Dog With Portal Powers
Chaos is the first character whose combat style, exploration utility, and social interactions all directly mirror his backstory and personality, making him a design benchmark for future NTE characters.
Reporting from 1 sources: Automaton.
Perfect World Games has added Chaos as a new playable character in NTE: Neverness to Everness. He is an attacker who wields a transforming greatsword and scythe, can set up warp points anywhere for exploration, and has a dual personality: cheerful and handsome when unmasked, but dangerously obsessed with justice when facing criminals.
Chaos is a member of the E.T.D 6th Squad and appears in chapter 4 of the main story, pursuing a case involving a mysterious doll alongside the protagonist. His combat centers on building a resource called Guilt with greatsword attacks, then transforming the weapon into a scythe for a sweeping Judgment attack that ignores knockback. The transformation attack steps forward, letting him dodge and damage enemies simultaneously. His Byrail skill fires a revolver and summons a hunting dog that applies Pursuit Command, increasing damage taken by the target.
Outside combat, Chaos can tear through space to place warp points anywhere, making exploration faster. In social interactions, he works out endlessly and cooks mysterious dishes that he leaves around, showing a noisy, silly side. The article notes that his harsh past-abandonment, awakening powers in extreme conditions, the death of comrades, and betrayal-fuels his obsessive sense of justice.
