Summary[]
An italian, perfume-believing, poverty-fighting, eccentric woman seeking for success, Assyria Semiramis (アッシリア・セミラミス Asshiria Semiramisu), born Artaxerxes Dolos (アルタクセルクセス・ドロス Arutakuserukusesu Dorosu), is hired by a mafia to assassinate opposing godfathers who dare get in the way of their business. Renowned as Lenakot (掃除する人 Sōji suru hito "One Who Cleans") and widely recognized as the strongest Trauma user, she is feared and revered by the republic government of Italy, advancing the ranks in such a little time, gaining the title of the most powerful Trauma user in the world.
Appearance[]
Assyria is a woman of above-average height with a very slim build. She has aqua hip-length hair with multiple bangs covering most of her face. Her hair is adorned with a white flower surmounted on the right side of her bangs. Her eyes are unique as her irises are have white rings, with aqua eyes surrounding it and small black pupil.
Her outfit consist of two black upside-down triangle earrings, black blazer with a red badge, white long sleeves, fingerless black gloves, medium-sized black skirt, and tight black pants. She also have a stun gun equipped either at her right or left hip, along with their I.D, which contains information about herself. Most of the time, she is seen with a black top, designed with golden semicircles and the same white flower surmounted on the left side.
Her casual attire is composed of a light beige bodycon dress covered with circular symbols placed at random places, and a black blouse covering her top. The flower is now replaced with a smaller one, and is now seen bringing a small bag along with a phone of similar color.
Personality and Beliefs[]
Assyria Xerces, first introduced as a brutal gangster, is quickly revealed to be a lost soul looking for purpose.
During her childhood, she was abused mentally and never had the chance to speak her own opinion towards others, always following whatever absurd and corrupt order her abusers give. Due to this, she develops a slave-like behavior, as shown when she reluctantly follows the Boss' orders and puts herself in harm's way.
Assyria's most important character trait is her pursuit in fulfilling and finding her purpose. However, this is greatly overshadowed by her horrific past and is suppressed as time pass by. For instance, she initially thought about and asks what her true purpose in life is, questioning what is the meaning of life and the reasoning behind her suffering. Moreover, she only ever thought of this when she was on the verge of collapse, thinking about her sins and the fact that she never truly escaped her predicament and continues to remain as a slave; this, combined with the reason of her joining the mafia as a coping method, makes her more insufferable deep down.
Because of this, she creates a front to hide this sadness and instead turns it into deep malice towards the government and the "filth". To her, being dirty or filthy is having the qualities of evil in them without even being aware of it and should be punished for not realizing it, which is in a way, Assyria's own definition of justice. She believes that by cleaning or ridding this world of filth would her sins be forgiven, putting more hatred against the government as they only enforce whatever arbitrary law they have, but never dirties their hands to get things right. However, this anarchistic nature of hers is contradictory, as she wishes to overthrow the government but cannot bring herself to betray the gang, developing a serious moral dilemma. Yes, Assyria does despise the drug trade, but leaving the gang would in turn strip her of any protection against the government, that which she hates. Because of her reluctant allegiance to Albero Pesche which is selling amnesiac drugs all over the world, Assyria is conflicted between her goals and her duty as a gang member. In the realization that she had been fulfilling the dreams of other people, she became utterly hopeless about achieving her goals for success. Becoming a tool for others to use, a weak coward with no goals, no dreams and no reason to live except for fulfilling goals of other people- all of it, simply fuels her desire of finding it. Due to this, she decided to quietly and slowly change the gang's business into a much safer route with her power.
In contrast to her somewhat positive outlook, Assyria has a very violent and ruthless side. At such a young age, she had already learned about the horrors of life the hard way, and as a gangster, kept this tendency toward violence. Having worked for a gang for years, Assyria is an experienced fighter, being able to discern whenever killing intent is genuine, is unfazed by empty threats, and is able to keep calm even during a desperate looking fight. Likewise, Assyria will often use lethal force against her enemies, demonstrated when she went against Mellita and Tiberius whom she crushed with an Atomium structure and have them plummet down a building, as well as against Ndrangheta whom she brutally used his own power against himself. Furthermore, she isn't shy to kill innocents or civilians if need be, such as murdering several hotel staff members and dozens of police officers just to accomplish her mission.
During a fight, Assyria is calculating, cunning, and elusive. Unlike those who completely risk life and death to win, Assyria will do tactical retreats and sneak attacks on a regular basis, shown when she tried to sneak upon Juldrich. Her creative use of her Trauma notably allows her to perform unpredictable and lethal tricks, such as deceiving her enemies with her ability and perform extremely illogical feats. Even when pitted against a group of weaker enemies, Assyria doesn't get overconfident and treats it how a normal should be despite holding back. Nonetheless, when push comes to shove, Assyria will sacrifice herself in order to get leverage over her foes, as seen when she tricked Ndrangheta into attacking the airplane, which led to his loss.
Assyria is consistently shown to be serious, and usually keeps a serious and unflinching demeanor throughout the story. Moreover, she takes her responsibility as a capo seriously. During most of the story, Assyria always acts with a specific objective in mind and always puts her mind into it- take Juldrich's assassination mission for instance.
After being promoted to a Consigliere and regarded as the strongest Trauma user alive, Assyria still maintains her privacy and keeps a strong relationship with her friend. For instance, Lente Obiettivo was saved from trespassing thanks to Assyria, ultimately trusting her and becoming partners to achieve their goals. In the brutal world of gangsters, she nonetheless holds no illusion that they are constantly risking their lives.
Relationship[]
Allies[]
Albero Pesche[]
As the most powerful and skilled Trauma user, Assyria Xerces is respected and revered by every member of the gang.
Lente Obiettivo: Though Lente is one of Assyria's subordinate, both act more as equals as she also sees him as an elder, considering she never had any friends since childhood. Lente is the most prone to suggest ideas, but at the same time is ready to listen and respond to hers accordingly. Having both lived like slaves to the gang without achieving their goals, the two somewhat share the same experience and wishes to accomplish each other's dreams. The two are more like siblings and trusts each other very much, willing to help one another but aren't too dependent that they cannot stand on their own feet alone. Even after becoming the infamous Lenakot or the strongest Trauma user, both still treat each other as the best of friends.
Enemies[]
Sacra Corona Unita: Assyria didn't think much of the enemy gang, seeing them as an adversary and nothing more. On the other hand, the gang went from dismissing Assyria as just another enemy to an extremely fearsome enemy, revering her power. But even after becoming Lenakot, she simply responds to them with a sigh of disappointment, seeing them not as a weakling but as filth that needed to be cleansed.
Juldrich Saj: Having tasked of killing him, she shows no mercy towards the man but somewhat admires his tactical intellect.
Philosophy[]
The Meaning of Life[]
| “ | Man cannot stand a meaningless life. | „ |
| ~ Carl Jung |
One can find meaning in countless ways, through seeking pleasure, relationships, work and so on. However, many times there is an incongruence between the things that we like and the things that are meaningful. We might like to party, to play, to become wealthier and so on, and achieve happiness thereby. But as one gets used to this lifestyle, one eventually tires of it and is bored by the repetition. We may like to do many things, but still end up with a feeling of emptiness in our lives."
In “A Confession”, Leo Tolstoy wrote about his struggle with a mid-life existential crisis. Tolstoy was one of the most acclaimed writers of his time, but he felt that this wasn’t something that gave him sufficient value, he writes:
Nietzsche argues that human greatness is what makes our life meaningful, it is more desirable than human happiness. And what makes a man great is the ability to overcome the inherent suffering we experience.
"We may find profound meaning from work, creativity, accomplishment, relationships, generosity and so on. The more things we can derive meaning from, the better."
- Assyria, as a character, embodies the pursuit in the meaning of life. It is this idea that defines her character, being a struggler who faces hardships and desperately digging gold that is her purpose. But it being overshadowed by the hands of manipulation, stops her progress. However, one should not ask what the meaning of their life is, but rather one must recognize that it is them who is asked. Responsibility is the very essence of human existence:
Amor Fati[]
"If one cannot find a meaning in life, there is a risk of falling into existential nihilism, the belief that everything we do has no value whatsoever, that we are insignificant and unlikely to change in our life, that we have no higher purpose to strive towards. Since one cannot find any meaning, one gives up and calls life meaningless.
But anyone who believes life can be meaningless also assumes the importance of value. Therefore, when people say that “life is meaningless”, they really want to refer to their miserable condition of not having a profound meaning in their lives.
A more appropriate statement would be: “I am struggling to find meaning in my life” or “what was meaningful for me is now meaningless, how can I find a new meaning in my life?”. These are real problems that people deeply struggle with. Many so-called nihilists are really in despair to find a profound meaning in their lives.
Some even believe that life is meaningless upon reflecting on the cosmos-at-large and seeing the insignificance of humanity and its doings. Things are important to us on the human scale, but we simply don’t matter in the cosmos.
Others believe that life is meaningless because we are in constant threat from random celestial events which can result in mass extinction, that the earth will eventually be engulfed by the Sun, that the current use of technology or the effects of climate change pose a big threat to our extinction, and that everything that was ever created by humanity would come to an end: history, religion, philosophy, language – it would disappear into the void, assuming that mankind hadn’t developed a multiplanetary species by that time.
The Stoics would give us the following advice: stop for a moment and focus on what you can control and not on what you can’t control. If things are outside of our control, we shouldn’t beat our heads against the wall. Instead of seeking everything to happen as you wish it would, you should wish that everything happens as it actually will – then your life will flow well. This is amor fati, to love one’s fate."
- As the character Assyria falls into the depths of meaninglessness, having found her purpose to be just a tool for anyone to use, she begins to develop a very nihilistic ideology, believing that there is no value in life. Realizing that escaping her predicament is inevitable, she undergoes a midlife existential crisis; that, and her pursuit in the meaning of life both contradict one another, which is represented through her Trauma.
- Indeed, she embodies humanity's pursuit towards the meaning of life and freedom. Wishing to be free from shackles, man clings to a dim hope but struggles on to see the light of day.

- Stun Gun: A handheld ranged weapon kept in a silver holster attached to their hip. Pressing the trigger fires a bolt, each producing about 4,000mA, which is enough to kill a person with one shot.
- Staff: A collapsible staff that is extremely light and durable, capable of breaking apart a wall with a single swing.
- Mirror Contraption: A series of mirrors held by several metal rods that reflect her back, allowing her to activate her ability without looking at them.
Intelligence: Genius. Assyria is a very competent analyzer of the situations around her, and a very skilled tactician. She is always calm and analyzes everything around her on a daily basis. She can speculate or make deductions of what her enemy is currently thinking, detect traps, abnormalities, and even weaknesses. It is noteworthy that a part of things she exploits are due to Traumas having specific gimmicks that, although extremely powerful, are still very harmful against their respective users. For instance, she is able to deduct and figure out Mellita's and Tiberius Trauma abilities. She also figured out about Aabdar's probability manipulating powers with limited information and even outsmarted a causality-manipulating refrigerator and even exploited their weaknesses. She is able to creatively maneuver around a variety of diverse situations by utilizing her extremely complex Trauma and always improvise through her unique use of her surrounding environment. For example, she even outwitted a concept-deleting, plot-erasing assassin named Daniyzet into attacking herself by preforming an extremely risky stunt.
Weakness: Her Trauma requires the enemy to look at her back and specifically target the Atomium structure itself. The Atomium doesn't reflect anything harmful, which could be exploited | Holds back regularly and doesn't give it her all, otherwise none notable.
Key: Pre-Atomium Fusion | Post-Atomium Fusion
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Blind Alley: A Trauma she gained through her past experiences, having an extremely esoteric and complex nature that she herself doesn't even know.
- Madness Inducement: Those that look at her back would have their body forcefully attack her, causing them to be enraged and mad.
- Density Increase: Over time, those afflicted by the initial ability would have their weight increase exponentially, eventually immobilizing them due to the sheer weight.
- Atomium Transmutation: After exactly 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 45 seconds, the target would turn into an Atomium. This structure is stated to emit very mysterious energy, contains very esoteric properties and has a physics-breaking nature, capable of being changed in size by Assyria at will. Due to that, it has notably two abilities:
- Passive: Reflection: One of the Atomium's esoteric abilities is the power to reflect any and all attacks that it is affecting the structure. For instance, firing a bullet at it would reflect said bullet back with the same force, and swinging a melee weapon against it would do the same thing- reflect back with the same force. Initially, she used it as a means of defense, as shown when she is attacked Mellita's Castle Vain, having reflected the ant's attack on her back at them. However, she learns that she is able to aim the reflection, having struck the Atomium with her staff and have them reflect it to the wall, allowing her to simulate flight. Furthermore, it is implied to have always been reflecting everything harmful around Assyria and itself. This is exploited by Daniyzet, as she removed the concept of air around an area, causing Assyria to slowly die from suffocation. Daniyzet points out that her powers does indeed reflect anything, but in doing so would result in the user's death as it would mean reflecting the air, blood, and life itself.
- Passive: Negation: As a byproduct of the Atomium's reflection, those who try to nullify or prevent the Atomium's ability to reflect, would result in the exact opposite and have their powers be nullified instead. This is shown when she tried to use Trauma abilities to nullify or prevent its reflection and is proven many times to be consistent. For instance, the Atomium is able to reflect Aabdar's power to manipulate probability and even negate Daniyzet's attempt on erasing her existence and her story, with the latter's power being stated to be able to erase everything regardless of their toughness. Additionally, it mostly works in tandem with it's reflection ability and is passive.
- Predestined Imprisonment: As a byproduct to those transmuted into the Atomium structures, they will be transported in an all-encompassing void. It was described to be infinite and endless, expanding around those who are trapped. Inside, a lot of esoteric and unexplained thing would occur, which is described by the following: "Inside, Mellita sees all but black. The nothingness expands around her, infinite and endless. She tries to speak, but her mouth never moved. She tries to leave, but it never happened. She tries to think, but it never happened. And it never happened and it never will happen. The space around her still expands, unlimited by the boundaries of space, time, or dimension. In an instant, infinite bubbles of reality- each containing the laws which govern them, ideas that make them up, and reasons for them to exist are created inside this inscrutable nothingness. Witnessing all of creation, her mind is flooded with irrefutable truths. Unfathomable series of information was presented to her in an erratic, esoteric pattern. She becomes everything, she is what she saw, yet she is nothing. She was granted the ability to comprehend it all, and yet she could not. She did not understand it, not at all. Then, she blacked out, absorbed by the void and is killed endlessly. Immortal as she is, all is but nothing against it, pulling her deeper into the depths of abyss where despair is all that remains." Furthermore, those who have been absorbed by this void grants Assyria their powers and abilities, further amplifying them than those who originally wields it. Furthermore, it's implied that the void that contains each transmuted into Atomium are separate to each other and are entirely different to one another,
- Atomium Transmutation: After exactly 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 45 seconds, the target would turn into an Atomium. This structure is stated to emit very mysterious energy, contains very esoteric properties and has a physics-breaking nature, capable of being changed in size by Assyria at will. Due to that, it has notably two abilities:
- Density Increase: Over time, those afflicted by the initial ability would have their weight increase exponentially, eventually immobilizing them due to the sheer weight.
- Madness Inducement: Those that look at her back would have their body forcefully attack her, causing them to be enraged and mad.
Passive: Contradiction: Upon realizing her Trauma and mastering it, she begun to fuse herself with the Atomium and gains an entirely new ability, Contradiction. Thanks to this, she becomes the only person to be immune to her own abilities as it contradicts that notion. Furthermore, this power is the successor to both Reflection and Negation, granting her a multitude of powers:
- Contradiction: Negation Manipulation: A much more powerful version of "Negation", allowing her to essentially "essentially nullifies nullification".
- This power is represented by this equation: where a1 (Assyria negation) and b1 (The opponent's negation) would result in c, that being null subtracted to a2 (Assyria's other negation), overwriting the null with her own and allowing her to nullify the opponent/s (Note: The power itself isn't the equation but is simply represented to simplify it, any alterations to the equations wouldn't result to any changes to the power). When this happens, it causes a contradiction since nullifying a nullification essentially neutralizes both. This leaves with the opponent being unable to nullify Assyria's power as she could counteract it with her own. However, this power contradicts this logic and allows her to negate mimicry (as it neutralizes the opponent's attempt to copy said negation), adaption (as it nullifies the enemy's attempt in nullifying it), etc.
- Passive: Contradiction: Immunity Bypassing: A new ability gained from "Contradiction: Negation Manipulation", granting her the ability to bypass immunity and resistances. This is shown when she easily bypassed the infinite dimensional barrier made by millions of Trauma users, each being different from the last; bypassing them infinitely and endlessly, capable of negating elemental resistances, preventing invulnerability, bypass abilities that reflect/absorb/reduce attacks, and many more.
- Passive: Contradiction: Rejection: A much more powerful version of "Reflection", allowing her to not only reflect the attack but also "reject" it. The ability does this by rejecting the very possibility and certainty, preventing the plot, concepts, authority, causality, and fate itself just to achieve the desirable result. This essentially makes her immune to all incoming attacks, negate all types of regeneration and immortality, prevent the enemy from amplifying their own power/reduce Assyria's power, reject their ability to heal, etc. Furthermore, she is able to manipulate whatever it is she reflects, granting her the following applications:
- Il Vento (lit. "Wind"): By reflecting the wind around Assyria, they can manipulate the air in numerous ways: they can create shockwaves with what could be a light breeze, electric fan gusts that can shred enemies, flicking their finger and firing it like a bullet, or negating the direction to make walls of wind that can trap an enemy or use it as a form of barrier.
- Punto Elenco (lit. "Bullet"): By reflecting the gravity pulling Assyria and scattering it, they are able to launch nearby object as a form of projectile. For example, pushing the surrounding environment to prevent enemies from attack them, reversing the direction to pull enemies closer, or even redirect the orbit of celestial bodies.
- Salta (lit. "Skip"): By negating the concept of distance in a specific area, Assyria can skip short distances, hence the name. They could also negate both direction and distance in a specific spot, making the enemy never reach them.
- Alimentazione (lit. "Power"): By redirecting the concept of powers, Assyria can reflect the enemies' powers against them with the same force and negating it nullifies said power.
- Collegamento trasmissione (lit. "Transmission Link"): By redirecting the brainwaves, radio waves, radiation, and light surrounding them, Assyria can interfere with them or possibly controlling them. In doing so, allows them to take total control of nearby emitters. For instance, they can use this to brainwash one's body or even tamper with their neuron system, rendering them immobile; reflecting the radiation and redirecting them into a single point causes radiation poisoning, killing them instantly; redirecting the radio waves interferes with communications, causing nearby technological equipment to malfunction; and interfering with light allows them to become practically invisible or create illusions.
- Anima (lit. "Soul"): Belief of concepts such as "Ch'i", "Qi", or "Life energy"- defined as a the energy that flows through everyone and everything, granting them "life". It, too is connected towards the concepts of "Soul Energy". Theoretically, Assyria is allowed to manipulate souls and affect them by redirecting the life/soul energy emitted by a person. However, this technique becomes impractical as they could simply create a law to affect souls and/or negate resistances to souls.
- Buio (lit. "Dark"): By redirecting Quintessence (or "Dark Matter") around them, Assyria could control said matter, allowing for the manipulation of gravity, distorting of space-time, creation of stars and black holes, and many more.
- Anima (lit. "Soul"): Belief of concepts such as "Ch'i", "Qi", or "Life energy"- defined as a the energy that flows through everyone and everything, granting them "life". It, too is connected towards the concepts of "Soul Energy". Theoretically, Assyria is allowed to manipulate souls and affect them by redirecting the life/soul energy emitted by a person. However, this technique becomes impractical as they could simply create a law to affect souls and/or negate resistances to souls.
- Forte (lit. "Loud"): By redirecting the nearby sounds, Assyria can cause loud shockwaves to crush an enemy. If they want to, they can cause tremors by causally snapping their fingers, create magnitude 10 earthquakes by just clapping, or launch enemies by lightly speaking. When performing this, the sound is manipulated and amplified through "Reverberation", reflecting them continuously to multiply what seems to be a light ambience turn into a loud and defeaning sonic boom.
Pathos Bathos: A much more powerful ability and the successor to "Madness Inducement", allowing her to manipulate all kinds and types of emotions, going as far as to manipulate the target's unconscious.
Primum et Ultimum (lit. "The first and the last"): An ability she gained after merging with the Atomium. Due to it's esoteric and amalgamated nature, she has gained multiple powers from it.
- The Bearer of Antilogy: Allows Assyria to summon the ever-expanding and infinite void, which instantly absorbs the enemy and all of their powers, negating all of the target's abilities and overloading them with infinite information, preventing them from nullifying or even overwriting its power. Such powers she has absorbed are of the following:
- Castle Vain: A Trauma she absorbed from Mellita, this power allows her to create red ants which do extremely complex tasks, such as forming into a humanoid, be shaped into a multitude of weapons, etc. Notably, it has the ability to regenerate the person's body, allowing Mellita to infinitely regenerate her body before being absolutely absorbed by the void and having her regenerative ability rendered useless.
- Unnamed Tiberius Trauma: This power allows Tiberius to remove his existence and transports him to a dimension where her could interact with things in the real world, granting invulnerability and intangibility.
- Unnamed Aabdar Trauma: This power allows Aabdar to manipulate probability, allowing him to become immortal, turn the air into multiple planes that hunts down whoever it spots, and even manipulate probability to remove someone from existence.
- Green House: A power that Assyria has absorbed from Daniyzet, this power allows her to absolutely erase everything regardless of their toughness, such as erasing the floor to offset one's balance, remove the concept of space-time to instantly traverse locations, remove the concept of death to become immortal, or even erasing one's own story completely with the limitations being the user's imagination.
- Conflux of Time: A Trauma she absorbed from Ndrangheta, this allows the user to create plates. Inside these plates are miniature black holes that produces gravitational waves. By manipulating said waves, it's capable to generate powerful shockwaves that can destroy planes and allows the user to detect someone through their mass.
- Unnamed Mimicry Trauma: Gained from the two hitmen she absorbed, it seemingly allows her to mimic and replicate one's own power.
- Unnamed Vector Trauma: Gained from another hitmen, it allows her to manipulate imaginary vectors.
- Fundamental Creation: "For reality to exist, there must be concepts or laws that govern it; for those concepts and laws to exist, there must be a reason for them to exist; for these reasons to exist, there must be the idea of it; and for that idea to be conjured, there must be logic." Assyria is capable of manipulating all of the fundamental building blocks for reality to exist, allowing her to conjure never-ending, everlasting, and infinite logic that would conjure up never-ending concepts, so on and so forth.
- Chi pulisce (lit. "It Who Cleans"): Two modified Atomium structures shaped into custom-made Swiss Longswords, replacing the guard with a black square guard and a long lever on one side, which functions as a release to the black cover that keeps the two swords locked.
- Gstieß: Chi Pulisce's main ability to create and manipulate archetypes- universal, inborn models of people, behaviors, and personalities that play a role in influencing human behavior. The very apex of her power, allowing to control "the self", the shadow, the anima/animus, as well as the persona, giving way to unimaginable power.
- Abacus Survey: An ability she created when she went to interrogate the Balkan Organization. The ability, when activated, summons an abacus and creates an invisible dimension that restricts and nullifies all abilities. After that, Assyria will then ask 27 unique questions to anyone she chooses, which the target must answer with utmost honesty. Answering with a lie will instantly kill them, allowing her to figure out the enemy's ability. After 27 of said questions are answered, the beads of the abacus will go on a specific pattern based on the answers and will create a being made out of those answers. The being created by the abacus will automatically negate and counter the abilities that are questioned, as shown when she created a humanoid being that countered all of the Balkan members that were enumerated.

Quotes[]
| “ | If the most important thing in this world is the scent, then, conversely, the most detestable thing in the world is to present yourself in a scent that disgusts people. Do you understand? When you present yourself as dirty or filthy, not only do you show no remorse to others, you interrupt their lives and express yourself in a manner that is often viewed as... evil. We don't fight for money or profit nor do we risk our lives or start riots because some fool threw up on our doorstep. However! Once we sense a little hint of filthiness, we have a sanction to put lives on the line. I feel that even the Devil himself would be disgusted by such acts. | „ |
| “ | I'll give you "one" chance... a chance to redeem yourself of your filth. To cleanse yourself of what is dirty. If you, by some chance meet me again, and if you remained this way... I cannot guarantee you'll be alive after that encounter. | „ |
| “ | One day this world will be clean. Only then, when I have rid of this filth, only then will I receive forgiveness for all of the things I have done | „ |
| “ | Whoever controls the media, controls the mind | „ |
