Personality:   Ever wondered about the feelings of your spare change?

As a Greeed, Uva's got the whole shebang of existing as an incomplete, desiring being going on - a fact that is integral to his personality. Uva's a fairly simple creature when it comes to his desires, devoting himself wholeheartedly to accomplishing them. He'll accept a win some, lose some situation if he has to, but if he's not making any headway at all he's quick to anger - but I digress. Uva's own chief desire, as all Greeed have, is to recover as many of his cores as he can; to survive. Such a materialistic and simple desire leaves him with unclouded thoughts compared to the other Greeed, but it also means he's one of the most inhuman of them. He's basically the best at being a Greeed, which sounds great until you realize he's still got the emotional turmoil the other Greeed deal with by acting human-like.

While focused on his own cores, Uva's fairly disinterested in everyone else's - he's sought out others' cores as part of a plot before, but never to personally consume them. This correlates with his surprising amount of loyalty - as much as you can be loyal among a group like the Greeed and not be freakin' clueless. This could also be because out of the Greeed, foreign cores are the most likely to disagree with and destabilize him - and it's shown he's aware of this. It's fitting that something like not wanting to prey on his fellows loops right back around to another tenet of his own survival.

Uva's got his own share of naivety, and as long as he sees someone on his 'side' he'll not consider them a threat until their treachery is being waved in his face. He likes swarm tactics. And he really, really likes having people on his side, not that he'd admit it. What, show appreciation to these douchebags? They don't deserve it! This brings on the next facet of his personality - Uva is prickly. He's guarded, fitting with his insect motif. The most common of his poses is 'arms crossed,' which gives off all of the stay away vibes. While I've already went over the fact that he doesn't want to pull off the lone wolf routine, he sure tries to make it look that way, and the show might be more for his own benefit than anything.  Because while he's not the most prideful of the Greeed, Uva's got a stubborn pride in his own toughness.

He's also got a whole lot of anger. When Uva is wronged he seethes with it, and if he indulges usually ends up worse off, which he actually does learn from and tries to work around. Uva has to plan out his actions, and it's when he wings things that he starts losing the advantage.

To state things more simply: Uva's priorities fluctuate between a core (heh) set - mainly, getting back his cores, getting extra party members, and indulging his sizable reserves of anger. It's fitting that his first thought once he's achieved his long-term goal of reviving Mezul and Gamel is um, time to take revenge on Cazali! I've got backup, I don't need to be so careful!

Except he really, really needed to be more careful.

Abilities: The Greeed are homunculi comprised of two types of medals - cell medals and core medals. Cell medals could be thought of as the blood of Greeed, while core medals are the vital organs. A Greeed's power is directly tied to the amount of core medals in their body, and less directly tied to their cell medal count. Cell medals are important all the same, though, and a Greeed carrying an overwhelming amount of cell medals is still going to be rather powerful.

Uva's medals in particular hold several unique abilities, tied to the insects they're themed after. Kuwagata (Stag Beetle) medals grant him the power to unleash bolts of electricity like a tesla coil gone mad, Kamakiri (Mantis) metals grant..well, awesome slicing powers, since what else are you going to do with a Mantis theme. Finally, his Batta (grasshopper) medals let him execute ridiculous gravity-defying jumps. Greeed in general are more durable and stronger than humans, even when they're low on medals. And as Uva's currently got 6 of his own medals, he's decently powerful.

Generating more cell medals involves sacrificing one of the ones a Greeed currently has, sliding it into a magically appearing slot on a human victim's head and causing a monster called a Yummy to spawn from them. The Yummy will then go commit shenanigans related to the victim's desire - what they do depends on the Greeed creator. Early series, Uva's Yummies seek to consume their host's desire - but later, he takes the guise of a granter of wishes, learning a host's desire and creating a Yummy that will attempt to bring it to fulfillment at all terrifying extents.

Sensory wise, Greeed are rather disabled. Greeed can't taste, have only a meager sense of smell, and only feel sensations in general when they're in extremes - they can only detect heat when it's overwhelming hot or cold, pain when it's excruciating, and et cetera. Sounds are muffled and distorted, except the sounds of clinking coins (gee, I can't imagine why) and supports a sixth, sharpest sense for tracking Yummies. They're also vaguely able to 'sense' desires, so there's that.

Sight is similarly mangled through a Greeed's (metaphorical) eyes, with colors dulled and objects blurred. Each Greeed has a specific color they see clearest, and Uva's is predictably green. Speaking of green, there's also the matter of the drape - a big hunk of fabric that's symbolism incarnate, never directly addressed by the show but always wherever the Greeed calls home.

Also the cat Greeed gave them all the idea to disguise as humans because modern-day people just don't take your run of the mill monsters for granted anymore, so they're able to broadcast a very convincing illusion of humanity. Just an illusion, though.

Sample Entries: Game sample here,

There was nothing that fixated him more than watching things break.

In the past, it had been humans. Humans didn't so much break as they ripped, or they spilled, or they simply went still – countless times he'd watched the green of grass go dull as another of King OOO's enemies fell before him.

He learned the sound of screams.

The soldiers spoke of fealty, of loyalty to the cross and to their king and their country. Yet their desires were different. In spite of that, they still fought and ripped and spilled and lay still for the cross, for something less than their true desire – for King OOO's desire.

The similarities between himself and the fragile men bearing OOO's standard were uncomfortable. He liked his existence. He had strength, enough to make things break before him. He had taken glee in it, using bloodshed to try and wash out the intrinsic wound that gave rise to the Greeed. As a tool of the king he could make the whole world bleed for his loss.

It was then that he understood why soldiers would fight for someone else's desire.
