~ A.B.A to Paracelsus |
Summary
A.B.A (アバ, Aba) is a character in the Guilty Gear series. She is a homunculus from Frasco who makes her debut in the spin-off Guilty Gear Isuka. She was created by a scientist who was incarcerated by the government before her birth, and spent the first ten years of her life alone in the laboratory. When she eventually mustered the fortitude to leave, she realized that she was maladjusted to society and didn't fit in anywhere. However, in her wanderings, she came across Flament Nagel, a sentient, demonic axe shaped like a key. She became enamored with the relic and decided to keep him as her partner, renaming him Paracelsus (パラケルス, Parakerusu). In the beginning, they had their differences, and Testament informed A.B.A that her obsession was physically altering Paracelsus for the worse. She wanted to part with him, but he recognized that she would be lost without him and decided to meet her halfway. Since then, they've been building a healthier relationship.

Weaknesses: A.B.A fights more recklessly in Jealous Rage and leaves herself open. To sustain the Moroha state, Paracelsus needs to continually feed on A.B.A's blood, draining her vitality.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Moroha: Paracelsus is able to awaken his demonic nature with a sacrifice of blood, replacing his normal appearance with that of a goat-headed idol. In this state, he is a far deadlier weapon, but he continually drains A.B.A's blood. Additionally, Moroha only lasts for a short time. If Moroha runs out by itself, both Paracelsus and A.B.A are left open for a long time.
- Jealous Rage: When A.B.A is sufficiently angry with someone for trying to interfere between herself and Paracelsus, she can channel her jealousy through Paracelsus, giving him a dripping, amorphous appearance. In this state, A.B.A is much more physically powerful. It also only lasts for a short time.
- Bonding and Dissolving: A.B.A impales the opponent with Paracelsus, allowing him to drink their blood and enter Moroha mode.
- Avoidance: A.B.A throws out a slow-traveling blood projectile.
- Retribution: A.B.A uses Paracelsus as leverage to perform a bicycle kick.
- Intertwine and Tilt: A.B.A climbs on top of Paracelsus and delivers a crushing kick forward.
- Menace and Groan: A.B.A swipes forward with one of her bandages.
- Restriction and Constraint: A.B.A spears Paracelsus diagonally downward in front of herself.
- Judgment and Sentiment: A.B.A. swings Paracelsus upward, then downward with incredible force.
- Engorgement: A.B.A. leans down and swings Paracelsus forward to trip her opponent.
- Eradication: A.B.A. fires two spheres of electrical energy in opposite directions.
- Blunder: A move found on her EX moveset in Accent Core Plus R, A.B.A. performs a flipkick that strikes overhead and causes a ground bounce on hit and staggers the opponent if they block overhead.
Overdrives:
- Altercation: Paracelsus manifests his demonic nature in a shock of lightning magic, entering Goku Moroha. His power is enhanced even further in this state with no additional drawbacks compared to regular Moroha.
- Evidence: Concealment: A.B.A. punches the ground, igniting an explosion of fire magic around herself.
- Evidence: Destruction: A.B.A. glides in the air while surrounded by energy projections.
- The Law is Key, Key is King: A.B.A channels her jealousy and further contorts Paracelsus into a monstrous appearance before delivering a barrage of strikes.
- Keeper of the Key: A.B.A opens the door to her pocket dimension, allowing a tentacled entity within to lash out.
Instant Kill:
- Darkness of Ignorance: A.B.A grabs her opponent with her bandages and imprisons them in her pocket dimension.
