For 550 XP? Yeah, no. Pull the other one.

...I don't even have words.
Just...holy crap. And she's Unaligned?
Wait...didn't you say that some of the top 10 MGs were WEAPONs? As in, Gaia's WEAPONs?
Finally, could we some the definitions of some of the newest weapon abilities? Like the BK's or human's Autonomous Combat or GR's Desires of the Impure World's Reincarnation or Gaia's Instant Evolution's Possession?

Well, she certainly earned the 'horror' aspect. She created us and seems happy to have us as autonomous weapons.
Does Goddess Gold's "Oblivion Awaits" spell count as large enough range to get past "Beyond Good and Evil" (disregarding the fact that its damage is slightly less than Gaia's Resilience)?As promised. Gaia's glorious bullshit.

Huh, would Gaia's WEAPONS happen to be inspired by/of the FF7 variety?

I had a lot of fun writing it.
Yes.
/人 ◕ ‿‿ ◕ 人\
Autonomous Combat allows the weapon to act totally independent of the wielder as a completely separate entity. This makes them nearly impossible to direct in specific ways, but allows them to react to things that the wielder wouldn't otherwise see coming.
Reincarnation means perfect resurrection. As in "I cast monster reborn. Fuck your shit."
Possession allows the caster to take direct and total control of the target. Lots more to the given spell, but them's the basics.
Yes. Oblivion Awaits if used at full range can depopulate a continent in one go, and damage a planetary body.
Possibly.

Gaia freaking loves humans. Even though we're fucking up the environment we're not directly damaging her, just everything that lives on her. So long as we don't do something stupid and kill our selves off like idiots, she's happy to leave us be. And honestly? She's been enjoying modern human entertainment.
As in, she's an avid Spacebattler, plays Warhammer 40k, and a lot of other stuff of similar bent as well.
The problem with that though is a number of shows she saw where Humans somehow get turned into some kind of ultimate being gave her ideas. Good or bad is up to debate.

Now I'm not sure if I want to meet her in person or not. Meet her avatar, I mean, we've already kind of met her body the moment we're born.
Actually, can we meet her avatar in the future or is she one of those things that'll remain mostly in the background unless things go off the (current) rails?
That sure explains all the OP expies

Not very. Entities on her scale tend towards being floating balls of energy that lack a physical form. She's actually considered a type of planet-scale Genius Loci.
First contact between her and... anyone really, scared the ever loving shit out of both sides when it dawned on them exactly what she was. Humans in general had a collective "oh shit" moment until she revealed that she had no hard feelings for all the pollution.

Angel Notes is the one Nasu work where Gaia died because of reasons and humanity kept living on without her because fuck you we're humans, right? Oh shit she wants to create Type-Earth.
And she wants to do it via Instrumentality. Well, fuck you too Anno!
Let's meet her, hang out with the avatar of our planet, convince her that Instrumentality is a horrible idea and play some Warhammer with her. It'll be great!

The Post-Instrumentality Gestalt can't even evolve properly, everyone is too busy living in blissful dreamworlds to do anything with their collective god-like power.

So if Gaia is 'Type-Earth', does that mean magical girls are essentially the manifestations of humanities will?
Ala Counter guardians of Alaya?
It does fit somewhat.
Counter guardians are given just enough power to deal with a threat - stronger magical girls show up as the situation becomes more dire.
And only humans have magical girls.

*Nasu instinct twitches* for clarification, or in case you didn't know; Alya is Humanity's survival instinct, not their will. Humanity is too divided to "will" anything more coherent than "don't die". You won't get a proper "will of humanity" until humanity all merge into a singular entity, ala instrumentality.
This has been the Nasu Trivia Corner with LostDeviljho, thanks for watching.

The purple part is the best bit.
I'm imagining her cackling because she made us so that when we discovered magic we'd immediately go out of our way to make our personal brand as conceptual and overpowered as possible.
Like, Gaia is a power-gaming, Epic Level D&D Wizard in the game of life for interstellar bodies and godstm, and we're her self-power-gaming, sorcerous Von Neumann swarm army.
And the other players mocked her for spending so much GP on her incredibly inferior life forms whose only advantage was endurance, and who only rarely even manifested magical abilities, and who needed so much babying in the beginning because they couldn't even walk without things around their feet and needed decades to become self sufficient, and who couldn't even duplicate without dying half the time, but Gaia planned for the long term! Where those prissy elves were messing about with their swords and fairies were relying on magic to do everything, we focused on cumulative effort! Our tools helped our children build more tools! Our knowledge advanced itself! EXPONENTIAL GROWTH, WIELDED BY HEROIC WILLPOWER AND RESOLVE! WHO'S LAUGHING NOW, HUH?!?!? WHO'S LAUGHING NOW?!?!?!?!? ME, THAT'S WHO!!!!!!!! Uhh... *ahem* Right, done now.
*walks off, covered in the exploded heads of the people she just talked too*
@crystalwatcher, So... I'm going to try and guess why she's neutral: Is it because she doesn't really care about which side wins, as long as her favorite things survive?
Also, if a country were to just set aside a day to literally do some earth hugging, would her reaction involve more laughing or dawwing?
Soooooooooooo... What was the reaction of everybody else on her level when she pulled this out?

Hah, say that again after a visit to three thousand feet above the ground in a light sport aircraft. Puts things in perspective. Really, I think she doesn't much care because she knows how little we're actually doing... Or because maybe she likes playing with plastic, like George Carlin postulated. Either or.
"Hi! I'm the being who created humans! I'm not even actively helping them out, this is just their autonomous capabilities. Goodbye, and have a nice day!"
