The element of the Gemini stone, is Death.

The Esper-Zalera


"Heretic scion who wrapped the world in dark energies, seeking to take the souls of all living things unto himself. Created in opposition to Emet-Selch, Angel of Truth, and scion of light. Originally tasked with the judging of men upon their deaths, his soul was tainted by the curses of those who raged against the heavens, and seizing one of the gods' servants, a shamaness, as a hostage, he rebelled against his creators. Even now, in defeat, he clutches the shamaness to him in his right arm, and with the aid of her death-wail does he summon the soul of darkness to do his bidding."

Gaian Battle System:

First off, I refuse to call this MMORPG "zOMG". From here on out, I'll refer to it as the "Gaian Battle System" or "GBS". This isn't a requirement to join, but it's one of the many ways to train.

Now, onto the Ring sets I plan to use to show for either "Machinist" or "Ninja". I know you already know the Ninja ring set, but I'm going to list it here. I may list more, if the members would like to add more Jobs, but that's on the back-burner for a bit. I'll start by listing them in sets of fours.

Suggestions for Ring sets are OPEN!

Ring Sets:

Machinist:
Guns, Guns, Guns-
Solar Rays-
Teflon Spray-
Bandage-

Ninja:
Mantis-

Trivia:
(Spoilers!)

Zalera appears to be an amalgam of popular villan characters / forces with similar traits from various Final Fantasy related titles:

Zalera's singular dark angelic wing with draping cloth may also be a reference to Sephiroth's wing and coat combination. The grafting of himself to the shamaness is similar to Sephiroth utilizing incarnations of Jenova as bio weapons. Another interesting note is that the Zalera Lucavi demon of FF Tactics choses Marquis Elmdore as a host. Elmdore heavily resembles Sephiroth and uses the Masamune, Sephiroth's signature blade. Also, Zalera's clan primer it directly quotes Sephiroth's intentions from Final Fantasy VII "...heretic scion who wrapped the world in dark energies, seeking to take the souls of all living things unto himself.." Sephiroth's main intentions in Final Fantasy VII was to use Meteor to crash into the earth to weaken it, so he could completely absorb the Lifestream. Another hint is where Zalera is found, Terminus No. 7. Finally his counter is Emet-Selch, Angel of Truth, which hints at Sephiroth's counter part Cloud.

Zalera emits the same laugh when using Condemnation as the original Zalera did when transforming into Lucavi form. This is trait is shared with Kefka. There are many similarities between the two characters. Beyond the color scheme (which better seen in his appearances in other titles), like Sephiroth, Kefka had the goal of world domination using cataclysmic weaponry as a catalyst. He also sought to absorb all the Esper souls (magicite) into himself and ascend to God-hood. In his final boss form he is an amalgamation of many creatures, both monstrous and angelic, and his personal form displays one dark indigo wing. In relation to the shamaness, as Sephiroth did with Jenova, Kefka intended to use Terra as a weapon. He was originally harnassing her power, and keeping her under his control. Finally, much like Kefka, Zalera makes his first in game appearance in a location surrounded by desert and, when revealing himself, does so with a dramatic twirl and his trademark laugh (Kefka having a similar flare for the dramatic).

Zalera also has references to another Yasumi Matsuno game: Vagrant Story, which exists in the same universe as the Final Fantasy Tactics games and Final Fantasy XII games. There are many points in FFXII where the player can see the signature Iocus Rood Sigil / Blood Sin emblem (the cross with an X instead of a cross bar) originally designed for Vagrant Story. When Zalera casts Death Wail, the shamaness has the perfectly identical Blood Sin mark from VS on her skull. She also bares a striking resemblance to Mullenkamp (the dancer from VS in the CGI opener). Mullenkamp was a very powerful shaman priestess and channeled the powers of 'the Darkness' due to her possessing the Blood Sin mark. Her successor Sydney did the same. Sydney passes these powers to Ashley. This shows how the 'Dark' needs to merge itself with a host and does so in exchange for power. This is similar to Zalera possessing Elmdor as a Lucavi in FFT, bonding to a specifc characters as a summon in FFXII, and grafting the shamaness to him in FFXII. This 'Darkness' manifests in the city of Lea Monde (also referenced in FFXII) which was swallowed by an earthquake and must be accessed through underground passages. In these passages the player first sees the power of the 'Dark': the dead are resurrected. This is very similar to the Barheim Passage. Also, when someone dies in Lea Monde, the 'Dark' swallows their soul which leads to their unnatural revival and subjugation. This matches with Zalera's ambition in FFXII. Finally, when Guildenstern steals the Blood Sin he gives himself fully to the 'Dark' (like Elmdor did to Zalera in his dying moments) and becomes an Angel of Death who floats around the player much like the FFXII Zalera.

A merchant in Nalbina Fortress mentions that a woman's cry can sometimes be heard from deep within the Barheim Passage; most likely the death-scream of the shamaness grafted onto Zalera's right wing.

Zalera is also, ironically, an anagram of the name, "Azrael", a Fallen Angel in biblical history.
