Shin Megami Tensei II (A-Mode DDS)

出身地：東京 テンプルナイトの候補生。テンプルナイトだけでは行き届かない治安の維持にボランティアとして貢献している。士気も異常に高く、ひたむきな正義感を持ち、異端者を徹底的に弾劾する。魔術結社の位階において、「入門者」に位置する。 Translation: Place of origin: Tokyo Temple Knight candidates. They contribute as volunteers for maintaining public order, which the Temple Knights cannot do by themselves. They have abnormally high morale, and they possess an earnest sense of justice, thoroughly denouncing heretics. They are ranked as "initiates" in the hierarchy of magical societies.

Trivia

• There is leftover unused data for Neophyte as a demon in Shin Megami Tensei: Nine. He is of the Messian race and is level 10. However, evidence suggests that Messian and Gaean demons were cut earlier than the other cut demons, as they have less data defined.

Nomenclature

Neophyte is named after one of the ranks in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
