BACKGROUND LON created not only the entire Slayers multiverse (including the futuristic galaxy portrayed in Lost Universe ) but also the Mazoku themselves and their rivals, the Ryuzoku. Both Shabranigdu, the devil figure of universe where ''Slayers'' takes place, and his rival Ceiphied are her direct creations. Some have theorized that LON did this simply because she wanted to watch gods, demons and mortals contend because it would be amusing, a hypothesis adopted by Valgaav in ''Slayers TRY'' in his attempt to remake the world. As few humans are aware of the presence of LON, even fewer actually seek her attention. Only Lina Inverse has been known to directly use the power of LON in spells, and this she does with great reluctance. Spells that call upon the power of LON are notoriously unreliable, with failure frequently having devastating consequences. The most notable such spell, the Giga Slave, could theoretically destroy the world if miscast. only Lina Inverse knows this spell and she has so far been unwilling to teach it to anyone else. APPEARANCES Unlike the other Dark Lords, whose power is called upon by sorcery, LON is in full control of how her power is used, and can withhold it if she chooses: "Her mind is her power, and her power is her mind." When LON inhabits a human body, that body glows in a uniform gold color. She is usually portrayed in eyecatches and the like as an attractive woman with long blond hair, carrying a shovel. LON's only direct appearance in ''Slayers NEXT'' was when Lina Inverse failed in an attempt to cast the Giga Slave when fighting Hellmaster Phibrizzo. Using Lina's body as a vessel, LON utterly destroyed Phibrizzo. She then declared that Lina was gone forever, consumed by her power. Gourry Gabriev, Lina's "guardian," was able to rescue the sorceress' soul from the Sea of Chaos. Given LON's generally capricious nature, however, it is likely that this was the result she had intended all along. |
