Profile[]
Background[]
Also known as ORT Kukulkan (オルト・ククルカン?), she is the Lostbelt King of the South American Lostbelt and the Heart of ORT (ＯＲＴの心臓?).[1] ORT impacted the Earth 66 million years prior to modern day in the Lostbelt, causing enough damage to it that it went inactive for 60 million years. Reactivating 6 million years before modern day, it was battled by the Ka'an Kingdom, eventuality culminating in its king Camazotz turning immortal and battling ORT until he could tear out its heart. The heart became the new sun of Mictlan.
Within the modern day of the South American Lostbelt, Kukulkan was a goddess that recently came into being with the arrival of Daybit Sem Void and Tezcatlipoca introducing new concepts to the local Deinos and Malla.[2] They lacked the concept of Gods and worship. The deinos began to revere the sun as something special when previously it had just been something they took for granted, which caused it to become deified as Kukulkan. Her name was borrowed from the Kukulkan of Proper Human History, as stories were another concept that the deinos didn't originally have but Daybit introduced to them.[2]
Kukulkan built the city of the sun Chichen Itza located on Mictlan's third strata. Within the city, atop the Temple of the Sun, is a pillar of green crystal which the sun comes from every morning, circulates through Mictlan's nine strata, then returns to every evening. The crystal is actually not a mineral but a plant, the tip of a cosmic tree that pierces Mictlan's underground.[3]

Personality[]
Diplomatic and active. In short, “an impeccable and integrous goddess”. Extremely frank, and yet elegant, close to others, and philanthropic. Just by being present, she sparkles. She will hear out your various woes, cheer you on, ensure you’re in good health, and bring you good luck. She will sparkle, even when silent. She even feels a cosmic (overloading) affection. In other words, she’s physically sparkling.
But in the end, she’ll say
“Well then, we’ll just have to fight!”
She’s an unreasonable goddess who will force you to go out, fight, and triumph, no matter how harsh the battlefield may be.
Instantly, everyone will understand;
“Ah, this lady fundamentally doesn’t understand human hearts.”
She loves hard-working living beings, wishes to safeguard the lives of those who have possibilities, and dreams of fighting alongside such lifeforms, so in a sense, she is a sheltered young lady. In combat, she says “Yahoo, it’s a battle!” before rocketing in like a cruise missile.
• Motive and Attitude towards her Master
As Kukulkan was born from love aimed at all living things, she is brimming with affection. However, she cannot express “human-like love”, as her decisions are global in scale.
“You’re someone I’ll protect and watch over, just like any other human on the earth... But would it be that bad if I put you a bit higher on the priority list?”
Kukulkan, who never knew of a special being, a partner who would influence her life, is thoroughly thrilled to have met someone ‘who can give cooperative aid’ for the very first time. She wants to know more. She wants to talk more. She wants to feel more. She wants to experience even more. Kukulkan doesn’t know that this is love for a lifeform “different from oneself”. Once she does, there will be no backsies.
Relationships[]
- Tezcatlipoca
- "Tezcatlipoca? Are you asking me about him? He's Kukulkan's rival in Proper Human History! So when I went to see him he was different from what I thought! He was docile and rational. When I said that, what do you think he said? "Of course I am. Compared to you, anyone would be rational, Birdie". Isn't that mean? I'm confident in my memory, you know?"[4]
- "Tezcatlipoca, huh. I can go kill him whenever you want. We're mutual enemies. It's not that I don't like that he can do anything, unlike me, you know?"[4]
- Quetzalcoatl / Quetzalcoatl (Samba/Santa)
- "That's Quetzalcoatl. A free wind who not only cunningly changed her name when she moved from the Maya to the Azteca and became very popular, but also became obsessed with Mexican culture after becoming a Servant. Oh no, I feel dizzy from this astounding feeling of affinity. Please let me call you Old Sister! Eh? If anything, I'd be the old sister? No way!"[4]
- "Quetzalcoatl, the real free wind who I admired and envied. May I someday become a wind who loves the future like her."[4]
- Tenochtitlan
- "A soul resides in the city. My origins are the same. I want to get along with her, but… For some reason she hates me. She says things like how annoying it is that Quetzalcoatl is an airhead even if she becomes a different person. Don't you think there's nothing to worry if I'm a different person, huh?"[4]
- Minamoto-no-Tametomo
- "A robust body. A sharp insight. And most importantly, a noble soul. I wanted to meet you! You must be Orion-san, right? I've been a great fan since I heard your anecdote with Artemis-san! Please let me have one match with you! Eh, I'm wrong? Tametomo-san? Then, Orion-san is… "It's better if you don't know him", you say?"[4]
- Orion
- "Artemis-san is my shopping pal. I owe her for showing me that even gods can enjoy shopping, and we both can talk ednlessly about love. But, she won't bring the rumored Orion-san with her. There's a weird bear, though."[4]
- Jaguar Man
- "Today I had a pleasant talk with Jaguar Man-san too. She's friendly, energetic, considerate, incomprehensible, and incredibly like-minded. Eh? Tezcatlipoca's Divided Spirit? That person? Again with the jokes. As distant from Proper Human History as I am, you won't deceive me, you know?"[4]
- Archetype: Earth
- "Huh? No need to guess, that princess is an Archetype? I see, so she's like that in Proper Human History. Her personality's different from Ixquik, though. She's totally my kind! Looks like we'll get along really well!"[4]
- Melusine
- "Please, listen! Just now, I had a rendezvous with this girl called Melusine, and it was super exciting! "You're good in your own way. If you're my opponent, next time I may get serious. If you don't mind, let's bet Master. That's nice. Let's do that.", she said! Whoa! A sudden windfall! Look at me, Master! I won't lose in an aerial battle!"[4]
- Tamamo-no-Mae / Tamamo-no-Mae (Swimsuit)
- "Tamamo no Mae. I know it. That despite her hiding her true identity, she's also a Divine Spirit overflowed from the Sun. Eh? Good Wife Miko Fox? Tamamo Nine? Japanese mythology is more complicated and mysterious than Mayan mythology…"[4]
- Kiara Sessyoin (Alter Ego) / Kiara Sessyoin (MoonCancer)
- "There's a star eater. Give me your orders, Master. That's a rational lifeform that should be killed while we can. She'll become a shame for the Earth, you know?"[4]
- Other Female Foreigners
- "I'm not surprised that there's another descended one other than me, but there's an inside and an outside for Foreigners. A threat from the outside. Is this also a Lostbelt created by Chaldea?"[4]
Role[]
Fate/Grand Order[]
Nahui Mictlan: Golden Sea of Trees[]
Kukulkan attacks U-Olga Marie and the Storm Border.[5]
Kukulkan fights Kingprotea Alter.[7][8]
Kukulkan fights Ereshkigal Alter.[9]
Kukulkan and Chaldea visit Xquic.[10][11][12][13]
Kukulkan kills ORT Xibalba.[16]
Abilities[]
Kukulkan is the deification of the mini sun of Mictlan, which is ORT's heart.[15] After Daybit Sem Void and Tezcatlipoca introduced the culture of Proper Human History to the South American Lostbelt,[10] the Deinos started to worship the sun as their creator deity and Malla used Quetzalcoatl as a model for Kukulkan's new form.[10][15] Due to being native to a Lostbelt, Kukulkan's Human Order Foundation Level is negative.[5]
U-Olga Marie states that Kukulkan is one of the only three enemies capable of opposing her in the South American Lostbelt.[11] Kukulkan claims that she can't guarantee the safety of the people around her while she "beats to a pulp" Tezcatlipoca, as it requires her to go all out.[6] Although Daybit Sem Void hopes to avoid confronting Kukulkan, Tezcatlipoca believes that he should pair up well against her given she's an imitation god Malla created. He claims he will show the "super-move spamming newbie" what "an experienced blocker" looks like.[13]
Combat[]
Kukulkan boasts supernatural Strength, as shown when she punched through Tezcatlipoca's Probability Manipulation smoke with a single "Mayan Punch". The blow not only knocked out Huitzilopochtli, but shook the entire Ocelomeh temple as well.[6] Goredolf Musik believes that Kukulkan is powerful enough to take out thousands of Camazotz's Ka'an reanimated skeletons with a single kick.[8] She also hopped through the jungle like a rabbit while carrying the Storm Border on her shoulders.[6]
Kukulkan defeated Kingprotea Alter. She describes their fight as a splendid match and believes that Xochitónal gladly relinquished its power to Kingprotea. On the other hand, Kingprotea wishes to never fight Kukulkan again.[7] Kukulkan also easily defeated two of Daybit Sem Void's Dark Star Familiars that were giving Ikusautsuwa-no-Oomikami much trouble.[14]
Kukulkan was able to cut through Satellite Class ORT's metal threads forming a spider web. She helps Chaldea fight ORT until it ceases activity and starts to reactivate itself for the first time.[14] Later on, Kukulkan blocks Grand Foreigner ORT Xibalba's solar storm after flying at mach speed without breaking the Sound barrierWP. Kukulkan then fights ORT Xibalba and annihilates it. Then, ORT manifests again, now in a Starcell form. Since ORT will continue to revive as long as the Sun in Mictlan exists, Kukulkan resorts to activating her Interstellar Voyage Engine (星間航行心臓?) and detonates the sun. This not only defeated ORT, but burned away all the Fantasy Trees in the Lostbelt.[16]
Skills[]
Class Skills[]
- Territory Creation (- Rank): In Proper Human History, Kukulkan is a god of the winds and of civilisation, and at times is regarded as being the same being as the supreme god Itzamna. As the name Itzamna (House of Itzam) would suggest, Itzamna is the creator of the World, so Kukulkan, who is in turn identified with him, holds a high Territory Creation rank. But that’s the story of Proper Human History Kukulkan. The Kukulkan of the Lostbelt holds no such skill.[1]
- Civilization Creation (EX Rank): The Proper Human History Kukulkan has a supreme rank in Item Construction, but this Lostbelt Kukulkan has relatively poor control over her fingers’ fine movements, so she’s rather lacking in Item Construction. As a substitute, she has a talent called “Civilization Creation”, which furnishes her with the ability to give advice on the best “livelihood” to primordial creatures.[1]
- Divine Core of the Benevolent God (- Rank): A composite skill that contains Divinity. The Proper Human History Kukulkan would have the highest rank, but Lostbelt Kukulkan has no Divinity. The person herself tilts her head and asks “What would a god do?”, so it’s doubtful that she even understands what the concept of a “god” is to humans.[1]
- Water of Life (- Rank): A skill owned by Proper Human History Kukulkan. She can manipulate the principles and the origin of lifeforms through water. Water is one of the domains from the legend that the world was created from the skies and the waters (seas). On a waterside field, many ability improvements could be expected, but Lostbelt Kukulkan lacks this.[1]
- Existence Outside the Domain (- Rank): Already mourned for, as the Earth is her home.[1]
- Archetype: ORT (Unknown Rank): In the World of Fate/Grand Order, the origins of the Latin American gods is said to be “Fibre-type Information Storage Bodies that were attached to a meteorite, crashed on Earth, and then fused with the Earth’s plantlife”. The plants grew far and wide, and eventually became a singular network that covered 70% of the Earth’s landmasses. This Kukulkan is the latest type of those Information Storage Bodies. She is a lifeform created (designed) by fusing their interstellar alien species with ORT’s heart, which was used to keep the South American Lostbelt alive. She possesses the characteristics of both “a Existence Outside the Domain” and those of a “Cerebral Corpus of the Lands”.[1]
Personal Skills[]
- Charisma of the Jade (A+ Rank): A Skill that combines the “water” and “wind” attributes that are held by Proper Human History Kukulkan. A subspecies Charisma skill. Wherever Kukulkan is, accidental crit-based deaths will vanish.[1]
- We are the Winged Serpent (EX Rank): In Proper Human History, Kukulkan is Qʼuqʼumatz, and also Quetzalcoatl. These gods have a name meaning “feathered” or “winged serpent” in each of their respective languages, and both the origin and nature of their Divinity is identical. Kukulkan, a god who is spoken of as one beyond the mythological systems of the local areas, can temporarily use the abilities of the other Feathered Serpents from other myths. This is an imaginative interpretation of such Authorities.[1]
- Golden Sea of Trees Travelogue (EX Rank): The dreams of all life that lived within the Sea of Trees, filled with a yearning for the endless skies, the immortal sun, and empty space. Kukulkan’s combat mode is designed to be the representation of the apex of a single World, although it is closed. It’s like she’s saying “Now I’m motivated!”, and then her motivation goes up, but at Kukulkan’s level, it’s not just her mentality, but the energy acceleration efficiency of the entire space around her that rises. “Seems like time and space are getting motivated too!” she really does say it.[1]
Noble Phantasm[]
Kukulkan's Noble Phantasm is Kinich Ahau Impact. When she shines as the heart of ORT, it is called Last Sun Xibalba. Originally, “her kind” were Fibre-type Information Storage Bodies (microscopic organisms that transferred information via fungi). The Noble Phantasm is a form that gathers all the Magical Energy that runs through the Spirit Veins of an entire continent and outputs it as “Kukulkan”. While similar to Arcueid Brunestud's “Luminous Body”, Kukulkan is incapable of utilizing abilities related to the Inner Sea of the Planet, such as Event Storage and the like.[1] It is an attack superior to U-Olga Marie's own capabilities,[5] who despite having a Stellar Class Saint Graph Output,[12] couldn't defend against it.[5] It was also powerful enough to annihilate Ereshkigal Alter's Boundary Gorge, Heaven's Thunder Palace, which was comprised of 6 Gugalannas at the time. After being defeated, Ereshkigal claims that she will not fall for Kukulkan's surprise attack a second time. They ended up fighting mid-air since she got lured there, but she is a goddess who fights firmly planted on the ground. She says that should they fight again, she will send off Kukulkan with a Noble Phantasm that surpasses Gugalanna and Meslamtaea.[9]
Other Capabilities[]
- Kukulkan is unable to track Daybit Sem Void because his heartbeat is completely inaudible to Malla's ears.[14]
