Althing (character)

"So long, my master... I wish you have a good health..."

- Althing as she returning to her planet

Althing (アルシング) is a minor character introduced in Plunderer. She is an alien that were sent to the Earth from space alongside with the original Ballots 300 years ago.

Past Events
Not much known about Althing's past. However, according to Alexandrov Grigorovich, she was an alien that were fallen to the Earth from the space during the Nuclear War alongside with the original Ballots. The United Nations Force would used the Ballots and it's voting system to ban the nuclear weapons and temporarily stopped the war from continuing. This voting system eventually shared the same name as Althing by worldwide. Firenda would also eventually created tons of Ballot Replica based on Althing's powers and abilities. Althing has been referred as the god since then.

At some point, Althing chosen Schmelman Bach as her master and a vessel by cast an life link ability, which would grant him supernatural powers and immortality. Althing would keep staying together with Schmelman for the next 300 years.

Last War Arc
During the final battle between Althea Royal Guard and Special Service, Schmelman went to face his adoptive son Licht Bach in order to end the endless war and conflicts. After Schmelman was defeated and Licht came out an perfect solution to ends the war, Schmelman calls Althing out and shows herself to the worldwide. Schmelman told Althing that since humans has found the solution to change the planet, her powers and abilities are no longer needed and there's no reason to keep him alive for any longer. Althing accepted Schmelman and the humanity's requests so she disabled all Ballot's functions and return to her own planet.

As Althing is returning to her planet, she wished Schmelman could have a good health and presumably healed him just so he won't die.

Abilities and Power
Althing's count is unknown, although most of the powers and abilities the characters used throughout the series were borrowed from her energies via Ballots or directly blessed by her like Schmelman for example.


 * Power Bestowal: Althing can give superpowers to others who can synchronize themselves with her,


 * Life Link: Althing can connect her life-force with another being. As long as Althing is still alive, the other being she linked with would never die.


 * Health Manipulation: Although it wasn't stated, it was hinted that Althing has a ability to heal or control a person's health condition, as shown in the epilogue where Schmelman is still alive despite his supposedly "death" at the end of final war.
