Carmine Prime (Red Origin, or Crimson Origin), is a neutral character who happens to be both an anti-hero and an anti-villain at the same time. He is one of the playable characters in Under Night In-Birth and its updates.
He returns in BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle as one of the Season 1’s DLC playable characters and remained in neutral side.
Bio
A literally blood-thirsty In-Birth, Carmine has sought out fight after fight every Hollow Night for the thrill of combat. His origins are relatively unknown other than being a delinquent senior student in the same high school as Hyde Kido, Orie Ballardiae and Seth the Assassin. While he is aware of the conflict between Amnesia and the Licht Kreis that dominates the Hollow Nights, he cares little about it. To him, all that matters is defeating anyone in his path who even so much as looks at him funny, such as being reffered as his disliked animal motif, a crawfish. Carmine also sometimes being followed by a fortune-telling boy named Azel, who happens to have predicted the tragic fate of Roger the Survivor, Gordeau the Harvester’s late-friend from Amnesia. Although Carmine gets attention to almost every In-Births in combat, but sadly almost one of them mistaken him for Litch Kreis’ Erika Wagner Miyashiro, due to their similar “Crimson” nickname.
