Badass Family: Median, Layna and Revya.Most of them go down easily, but occasionally you'll find one stronger than the final boss. Badass Bystander: You can attack random townspeople.Some aversions are usually insane and/or dead. In-story, we have The Masters of Life and Death, as well as the World Rulers, who are Overseers, and if Gig is any hint, they can drop the hurt on you.Thus, if for example you stack a bunch of identical manikins with identical levels in a room, the one designated as leader will have significantly higher stats than its twins. Authority Equals Asskicking: Every unit you can deploy has a Leader, and every manikin inside of a unit contributes a percentage of their stats to the leader of that unit as a constant bonus as long as that manikin is alive.Foiled by Layna in the game's default route Gone Horribly Right in the Demon Path. The Antichrist: The intention behind the creation of Gig.Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Gig's sums up Drazil as being like a graveyard because of how every aspect of a person's life is controlled, to the point that they have to be told what to think.Aristocrats Are Evil: Hawthorne, a closet Complete Monster.An Axe to Grind: Redflanks carry around a large axe that also functions as a boomerang.Mostly, it's just Danette, seeing he insults her the most of the cast aside from Levin.All Girls Want Bad Boys: Gig believes this in his ending if Revya is female after the rest of the cast starts shipping them, but really it's subverted, most of the female characters can't stand him.In this alternative storyline, Revya decides that it would be a better idea to use the awesome destructive powers of an evil god to do whatever the hell they want, and with the gleeful encouragement of Gig, starts down a path to ultimate power as the tyrannical " Devourlord". Soul Nomad is also known for an infamous Villain Protagonist campaign called the "Demon Path". Strengthened with Gig's dark powers, Revya is sent out into Prodesto along with Danette to destroy the dormant World Eaters and Save the World. However, the second that Revya overuses this power, Gig will use the foothold in Revya's soul to seize complete control. His possession is foiled by Layna, so Gig makes a deal: he will grant Revya a tiny sliver of his godlike power in exchange for being allowed to share Revya's body as a "soulmate". Upon grasping the handle, the onyx sword is suddenly revealed to be the resting place of Gig himself, who immediately attempts to possess Revya's body and resume his reign of destruction. On the day of their appointment, they are gifted two weapons by village elder Layna: Danette receives a pair of magic kukri, while Revya is given a black onyx sword. Two centuries later, a young warrior (named Revya by default) and their childhood friend Danette are preparing to become official guardians of their village, one of the last bastions of human civilisation left in Prodesto. All the while, the frozen World Eaters towered over the populace, a constant remainder of the terrible power that could reawaken at any time. However, the scars of their rampage remained etched into the land, and Prodesto continued to decay, with the birth rate falling and crops growing more poorly with each passing year. Without their master, the World Eaters fell dormant. When all hope appeared lost, Layna appeared before Gig and defeated him in single combat.

With the aid of his "pets", titanic golems known as "World Eaters" (no not THOSE "World Eaters", he grinded Prodesto into the dirt, slaughtering most of the population and scorching the landscape into a barren wasteland.

Unfortunately, a mere fifty years later, Prodesto would become the landing spot of an evil god of death known as Gig. Though Median's reign would be cut short by a pandemic that claimed both himself and his son, his daughter Layna soon emerged as a worthy successor to Prodesto's throne. Two centuries ago, Prodesto was united under the hero Lord Median The Conqueror, and prosperity reigned for a time. Soul Nomad is set upon the island continent of Prodesto, in the world of Haephnes. It's a Darker and Edgier take on their usual formula, and could best be described as ' Ogre Battle on a power trip'. A 2007 strategy RPG title brought to you by the good people at Nippon Ichi Software.
