Description To go along with Lumine's Seraph form and Axl's Scarlet Beast form, I made Solid's counterpart of their Super Modes, the Nonbeliever form.

There are some points of attention in the Nonbeliever form.

In order to fully understand the Nonbeliever, there are some stuff from here that are important:
"Nonbelievers are actually bigger sinners than the Devils, if the perspective of a person of faith is used to assess them; the Devils, being the ones who fight the Angels, believe that God exists--they acknowledge his existence, his authority.

But the nonbelievers? Nothing. To them, God is nothing but a word, a concept. Not powerful at all on its own; its power lies in the believers--the humans. The nonbeliever denies God, undermines God; instead believing in humans. "No gods or kings. Only man."

1Jn 2:18  Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1Jn 2:19  They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
1Jn 2:22  Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1Jn 2:23  Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
1Jn 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.  
1Jn 4:3  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2Pe 2:1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Given that the nonbeliever denies, and undermines the power of God, "the Father and the Son", it can be concluded that the nonbeliever, in spite of desiring no conflict against either side, is the antichrist and the false prophet. This is because that the nonbelievers' very belief is extremely taboo to the Angels."


DESIGN POINTS:

> Initially, I decided to go for a "Whore of Babylon" design until I realized that at the end of the day, Earth/the Nonbeliever is a more neutral party that just wants to be left alone with their beliefs.
> Therefore, there are no symbols. It is symbolic of the fact that the Nonbeliever is a neutral entity. Even though they're allied with the Devils, they're on their own side as ultimately, their beliefs are of their own. It also fits in the aspect of the Antichrist as the "man of lawlessness" and "in league with other figures". The Nonbeliever doesn't obey the Angels or the Devils and, in the end, obey themselves.... Hence, lawlessness, and the lack of association to neither, although it is shown that they are allied with the Devil, which fits, as Satanism encourages autonomy.
> The Nonbeliever form shares one colour with the Scarlet Beast : Black. But instead of red (Axl) or purple (Lumine), the Nonbeliever is blue; they are on their own side. This also alludes to the fact that Lumine (Purple) is the result of the combination between Axl's copy abilities (red) and Solid's human consciousness (blue).
> This form is simpler compared to Lumine's Seraph form and Axl's Scarlet Beast form because the Nonbeliever doesn't believe in a higher power, only plain and simple humanity. This form also looks the closest to human compared to the other two forms.
> This form doesn't look like a combat armour because the nonbeliever doesn't want any fights against/with the Angel or the Devil.... They only want to be left alone in peace with their beliefs.
> The "regal" feel of the Nonbeliever form also shows that "Humanity made itself king":

"Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God." - 2 Thessalonians 2: 3–4

> The pointy and diamond-ish parts of her armour resembles the Greek letters lambda (Λ, uppercase) and nu (ν = lowercase). Lambda and Nu are the first part of Axl and Lumine's serial numbers respectively, showing her status as a neutral entity, but ultimately sides with Axl, like how the Nonbeliever in their truest form is a neutral entity, but sides with the Devil due to being rejected by Heaven. This also symbolizes her status as Axl's shield when they cooperate as the Nonbeliever and Scarlet Beast, seen here.
Both "letters" are available in light colours and dark colours in different parts (In her arms, "lambda" is light while "nu" is dark. This shows that what she does (Siding with the Maverick Hunters in X8) is favourable to Axl/Lambda. In her legs, "nu" is light while "lambda" is dark. This shows that in the end, she ends up "stepping up" by speaking out against the human-reploid racism, "following in Nu/Lumine's footsteps" after his rebellion.) to show that she sees the good and bad of each side.
The "lambda" parts of her design are present in her limbs, but not her head. This shows that while the Nonbeliever will cooperate with the Scarlet Beast and even take a more passive role of mostly just protecting him, the Beast does not own her.

POWERS FOR THIS FORM:
> Solid's original powers. (Claws, dao and martial arts)
> Barrier of the Nonbeliever, a barrier which allows Solid to absorb the energy of any attacks it blocks, and allows her to use the energy to heal herself, power her attacks or block some more.

Given that she's a nonbeliever, Solid only believes in humans and their own power (Hence she doesn't really have anything else aside from the barrier), and that "I don't need God or the Devil; I'm fine on my own, thanks." The barrier is symbolic of the Nonbeliever's desire to just live peacefully without any influence from any groups they don't want to be associated with, and the desire to stay out of the conflict ("Please leave me alone, you can do anything else you want, just leave me alone"). Using the barrier consumes energy, but the recharge rate is like X's Nova Strike in X8. However, Solid can also use the barrier to protect not only herself.

The barrier also defies 2 Peter 2:1: "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction." The Barrier of the Nonbeliever defies the "swift destruction" the Bible talks about, that will come to the Nonbeliever.

This form is more defensive than offensive, which again symbolizes the Nonbeliever's desire to stay out of, and survive the conflict between the Angels and the Devils.... Even take advantage of it (The Barrier of the Nonbeliever allows Solid to absorb energy from any attack to use it however she likes).

This design is incredible! It totally fits with the simplicity and defensiveness, but then you already know that XD

At any rate, though it's not as cool-looking as your design for Axl, it's still awesome and every aspect of it was clearly very well thought out, I love it!

Thanks a lot for the honest comment! 8DDDDD I look forward to more honest comments like this one, it makes me happy.
And yeah, you're right. At first I was bummed that I couldn't replicate the complexity and overall "epic" feel of the Scarlet Beast. But then I thought to myself that nonbelievers don't need the bling, because "Humanity has enough power as it is, I don't think I need God or the Devil."
It's also because of the lack of symbols. One of the factors that contribute to the complexity of the Scarlet Beast is the sheer amount of symbols I stuffed into it, but for the Nonbeliever form, there are no symbols because the Nonbeliever is the "Man of Lawlessness". So you have a lot of design aspects without any symbols whatsoever (In a way, they mean nothing because they symbolize nothing), but that concept is what makes the design one huge symbol: "I'm not on either side."

I like the coat aspect of the design a lot more than I should, despite using so many untraditional themes the design is really... dare I say it, solid?

;;;;;;;;;;//////////v//////////;;;;;;;;;;;;

don't worry. i like puns. 8D

I'm glad you like the design, and I think the untraditional-ness of the design fits with the theme of "Man of Lawlessness", because it doesn't fully obey the "rules", but doesn't fully defy them either. If a man defies every law, he goes by a law: "Defy every existing law". If a man obeys every law, well, it means he goes by that law. Meanwhile, a true Man of Lawlessness defies and obeys however he sees fit.

thank you. thank you so much ;;;;;/////v/////;;;;;

Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ;;;;;;;;;;;;;v;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
I'm so happy you appreciate my designs, it means a lot to me. And I'm glad you like the coat too, as the coat is purposefully put in, because the Nonbeliever form is a defensive form, and it emphasizes the fact that "we humans have power too, and we can be respected on our own".
