IN CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Giegue
Canon: Mother
OU/AU/OC: OU
Canon Point: Little into the beginning of EarthBound/Mother 2
History: http://earthbound.wikia.com/wiki/Giygas
Personality: Giegue is the leader of his race of alien beings and a warlord. Since George, his adopted father, stole the secrets of PSI, his ultimate mission from his planet has been the enslavement of the human race. To that end, Giegue has colonized and enslaved other alien races, assimilating them into his vast ranks. The cold, somewhat emotionless exterior he puts on, however, is not innate. It is something he has chosen in order not for his emotions and buried capacity for love to get in the way of who and what he is, his people's warlord. Giegue had reservations against invading Earth at first because he didn't want to betray the people that raised him, but at the end, he decides to bury his feelings and press on. He is an entity bound by duty and he regards the needs and demands of his people his highest priority, even if it means subjugating the lives of other planets, or destroying them outright.
While he considers humans to be weak, calling their abilities hardly any greater than that of an insect, he fears them deep down. Hardly any individual on Earth can defeat Giegue in a contest of force, but when they use their hearts to reach out the alien, it has a profound effect on him. When he begins to remember his buried emotions as Ninten sang Maria's lullaby, Giegue retreats from Earth filled with pain despite having a clear upper hand. He remembers through the lullaby that once, a long time ago, he was loved and felt loved, but the emotion is incompatible with what his people expect out of him. All Giegue feels he can do is escape by either burying his feelings or resorting to shattering his mind altogether.
In that light, Giegue's usual strategy in conquest is often times turning the enemy species against each other. He uses his influence to turn native technology against the population and uses his psychic powers to “awaken” the latent evilness inside people. He's a master manipulator and his influence was responsible for Pokey acting against Ness. While he fears humans for their ability to love and express love, he believes the corruption in their souls overwhelm it and utilizes them through his powers as tools for warfare. It's largely for this reason that besides Maria, Giegue has no qualms about sending humanity as a whole into a deep sleep. As unwilling as he might be, someone who possesses a beautiful soul may remind him of Maria, which was why he wanted to save only Ninten. Inside his heart, he craves love, and it's evident as he even extends a hand out to Ninten, inviting him to abandon Earth and join him on his Mothership. He's afraid of what he seeks the most, though he could never admit that.
Altogether, Giegue is like a child who wears the mask of an overlord. In order not to come face to face with his feelings, he demands taking the offensive. As Ninten and his friends were singing to him, he sent psychic blast after psychic blast to end them, but to no avail. Giegue uses violence and conquest as a means of distracting himself and fooling his enemies that he is truly the “Embodiment of Evil” and a “Cosmic Universal Destroyer”. Since Maria's death, although Giegue has matured physically, he's still the little alien pup that would always wag its tail deep inside, only alone, scared, and angry.
When he's feeling milder, and not following through on a war against humanity, he is quieter and aloof. Giegue is thoughtful and analytic, an intelligent entity given his supreme mastery over PSI. Deep inside, he can be a kind person, as Maria taught him to be, but these lessons were drowned from negative experiences that came after her loss. When he's alone, he would sing to himself in whispers Eight Melodies. But of course, there's no going back to that time, and his duty is something he absolutely must see through.
Strengths: Giegue is intelligent and his mental processes are far more advanced than an average human's. As an alien of his race, he is capable of wielding PSI, manifesting force through the mind. Unlike when a human uses it, however, the form in which Giegue's PSI manifests is often “inexplicable”. For example, if a human PSI user would use PK Freeze, for example, it would manifest like a great, icy mist. Giegue's variation of PK Freeze would come in the form of a strange red light, obscuring the mist so that it would be more difficult to counter or expect. It's because his mind works so differently than a human's that his attacks are often incomprehensible, though a similarly alien mind could perhaps see through it.
Giegue is capable of telepathy and communicates with people through their mind than with his voice.
He is a leader of his race and possesses military experience. Being able to use his powers to bring inanimate objects to life, animals to turn violent, and weak-willed humans evil, sabotage and battlefield control are his specialties. He understands emotions and both sides of human nature, the light and the dark. Giegue is effective at getting humans to turn against each other and often relies on this than any direct means of combat at first. Given the wide scope that this power has in Mother1/2, I figure it'll have to be severely limited.
Defensively, the alien is strongly resistant to damage and any traditional weapon has little chance of hurting him. He is susceptible to PSI and magic, but largely able to weather through damage and even fatal injuries. While he can be held back, putting him down physically is a feat.
Weaknesses: Love. Hearing the Eight Melodies lullaby again was what drove Giegue to retreat and halt his invasion for decades. It hurts him psychologically and renders him completely inept. The way to fight Giegue is not to fight him at all, but instead, reach out to his heart.
Giegue is a solitary entity and is bound to trust very few besides himself. He keeps a distance between himself and others, including those of his race. If it weren't for his authority and charisma as a leader, he'd have nobody around him. He finds working with others, even in a situation that may be too much for him, to not be worth it.
If forced to interact with and live alongside people, Giegue will have tremendous difficulty. With how emotionally isolated he is, he has no idea how to approach people directly under more casual pretenses. Considering he'll be unable to manipulate them mentally or solve his problems through aggression, he'll have to learn how to deal with people by talking with them.
Possessions: N/A
Pony/Animal Type: Albino rat. Since ponies are the dominant animals in Ponyville, I wanted to retain Giegue's alien quality by having him be a different animal.
SAMPLES
First Person: Dear Player post
Third Person: A white rat zoomed through market streets, nabbing at any scrap of food dropped with its teeth before skipping back, avoiding any unwanted gazes. In the bushes, the rat, Giegue, gnawed away at leafy greens and, what a treat, a piece of cheese that a careless pony happened to drop. He didn't have to eat before, but this body demanded sustenance. It lagged and grew heavier without demands being met, what organic lifeforms call “necessity”. Shame fell over Giegue who was painfully conscious of what he had been reduced to, from a conquerer alien, an enemy to planets to a simple rodent scavenging for scraps. Taking his last bite, the once-alien ruler peeked out of the bushes and watched for scraps of food on the ground and opportunities to slip past the trotting ponies and make a grab for them.
His red eyes narrowed and he felt, deep down, that yes. He couldn't prefer these ponies any more than the humans he struggled against. Then again... For the period of time that he has been here, haven't there been some sympathetic souls who, despite knowing what he was, offered him shelter? If he wasn't so prideful, he could even count on his right-hand man for his base necessities... It was a passing thought, and one that Giegue immediately rejects. It would be humiliating, but most of all, it wasn't in his nature to tolerate biting the hand that feeds a second time... not after deciding to wage his war once already.
Scavenging it is, then. The rat zooms out of the bushes, aiming to claim the apple segment due to hit the ground.
