Sync the Tempest (烈風のシンク)


Thrown into the world around the biological age of fourteen, Sync is supposed to replace Fon Master Ion in his Score-foretold death. As a replica, he is given the impression that if he is unable to be a substantial substitute for his original, then he is not worth existing at all. Sync is not only a replacement but also a failed replacement, which causes him to curse his own existence. Out of pure hatred for the world, Sync emerges from Mt. Zaleho, resolving to destroy whatever caused him to exist in the first place and have to face such torment. Sync sees himself as second-rate—from Fon Master to God-General—and also as trash, having literally been "thrown away".

He chooses to help Commandant Van Grants with a plan to destroy the Score, the true cause of his "empty, pathetic life", and becomes a God-General for the sole purpose of helping to carry out Van's plan. Unlike the new Ion, Sync sees himself as unneeded, empty, and expendable. Sync is also very sadistic, as one can expect considering his experiences. He blames Luke fon Fabre for the fall of Akzeriuth, calling him "that replica there", and later in the game purposely shows his face and acts like Ion in order to rattle the party after Ion's death. Unlike most of the other God-Generals, Sync feels no debt to Van and admits on Eldrant that he doesn't care who it is trying to destroy the Score, as long as the Seventh Fonon would no longer exist. Van may have potentially saved his life twice, but because Sync doesn't see his life worth saving, he never feels indebted to Van specifically.
