Name: Dist
Game from: Abyss
Age: 35
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Alliance: Undecided
Personality:
Dist serves as the comic relief villain, often throwing tantrums, and is responsible for speaking various outrageous quotes, many of which only seem to further expound upon his great personal vanity. He is a common fan favorite as he provides much to the plot in the form of both comedy and seriousness, and he is an integral character in several sidequests, including the battle against Replica Nebilim.
History:
Dist was born and raised in Keterburg, the largest city upon the continent of Sylvana, which lies within the borders of the Malkuth Empire. During his youth, Dist (at the time known as Saphir) studied with his then-best friend Jade Curtiss (who was known as Jade Balfour), Jade's sister Nephry Balfour (later Nephry Osborne), and the future emperor Peony IX under Professor Gelda Nebilim, a retired Oracle Knight researching the Planetary Fonic Arte.
When Jade tried and failed to use the Seventh Fonon while at Nebilim's home, the arte went horribly awry, setting her house ablaze and nearly killing the professor in the process, though not before Jade and Saphir took her to the outskirts of town and attempted to make a replica using fonic artes. However, as the theory behind fomicry was imperfect then, the replica Nebilim was unstable, lacking the first and sixth fonons, and, seeking to become complete, went on a rampage, killing several Fonists to gather the fonons she lacked. She was eventually sealed away in Nebilim's Crag by a division of the Malkuth Military under the command of Field Marshall McGovern.
Following this event, Jade ordered that all research on fomicry be ceased, as he considered it both dangerous and unethical and feared that his mistakes might be repeated some time in the future. Dist, however, had promised to himself that he would do anything to resurrect Nebilim, and, believing Jade to have abandoned her, did everything in his power, even switching alliances and working with Grand Maestro Mohs in a failed attempt to acquire Nebilim's replica data.
Rather surprisingly, Dist is the creator of Anise's fighting doll Tokunaga, which was apparently a gift given her once when she was nice to him. Anise later describes him as "a stupid, rotten, friendless, ugly, snotty, poor excuse for a human being" after she believes him to have died before facing replica Nebilim.
Due to having the "tenacity of a cockroach" - Dist's ability to repeatedly escape death - Dist was the only God General to live through the entire game, reappearing in the Nebilim and Contamination sidequests, during the former of which he survives a direct assault from the replica Nebilim herself.
