Symmetry is the A.N.V.I.L Super Agent in Evil Genius 2.
Description[]
Appearance-wise, Symmetry is an attractive, or in her own words "dashing", young woman of Asian descent (possibly Chinese) with black hair styled in a bowl cut with chin-length side pieces, brown eyes and thick curved eyebrows. Her outfit is a sleek form-fitting sleeveless V-neck minidress that is a mix of black and white, resembling the Yin and Yang symbol, with an O-ring buckle belt around it. She also wears below-elbow gloves (left glove black and right glove white), thigh-high heeled boots (left boot white and right boot black), a pair of black-and-white goggles and a thick white choker. In some official illustrations, she wears purple lipstick.
Symmetry herself acts very smug and somewhat egotistical. Most of her taunts are her acting as if she is unbeatable or the best. She acts as if she is completely unstoppable in her abilities and cannot be topped by the genius.
Behavior[]
Symmetry will appear on the world map once they have caused enough trouble in A.N.V.I.L territories. She will slowly patrol different regions of the map and watch for minion activity. When you send minions into a region Symmetry is in, she will watch the minions. Upon completing the scheme, Symmetry will begin to gather a team and launch a heist on the lair. The player can launch a scheme to disrupt her attempt at a raid. This will weaken the heist, and make her take longer.
Upon arrival, Symmetry will announce herself and teleport into a random vault along with her team. They will immediately begin to steal any gold containing item they come across. Once they are full of gold, they will attempt an escape. If they come across any loot items, they will steal those as well. If they are allowed to escape with any of these, they will be lost forever. Symmetry will place a camera disruptor on the wall. This will disable all cameras in the lair allowing her to slip out with ease. Symmetry lacks a ranged attack and does not hit the hardest. The main threat she poses are her rogues. They are often very skilled and do much more damage than an investigator. It is not uncommon for her rogues to slaughter an entire work force of minions.
Should Symmetry be critically injured, she will smoke bomb away and disappear. She will return to the world stage later to continue stealing from the genius.
Storyline[]
The player can work to compete and defeat symmetry in her story line.
Thy Fearful Symmetry -> Spying in wait -> Where in the World Is Symmetry? -> Imbalance of Power-> One of us(optional)
WARNING: The following page contains spoilers. Should you wish to bust Symmetry yourself or recruit her, stop reading now.
In Thy Fearful Symmetry, Symmetry greets the genius claiming that she is going to clean them out. The genius then warns her to keep her hand out of their pockets. First the player must steal an artifact from A.N.V.I.L Territory on the world stage to lure Symmetry to the lair. Surely enough, Symmetry will teleport to one of your vaults with her Heist crew to steal your ill-gotten gains. The player must defeat them to continue. The genius will try and keep Symmetry on the line to find where they are hiding. However, Symmetry is not fooled and claims next time they won't see them coming.
In Spying in wait, The genius ups their efforts to stop Symmetry. First the player must consult with Symmetry's many enemies on the world stage. The player must then complete a research project into Symmetry's past. The player must then lure Symmetry to the lair with your so-called treasure. Symmetry will then once more sneak into your vaults with her team. The player must dispose of her to proceed.
In Where in the World is symmetry, The genius will be greeted by Symmetry once again and this time the genius mock Symmetry outfit and even foolish enough to wear it. First the Player will have to oppose Symmetry three times on the world stage. Then you need to defeat Symmetry heist team members in the lair. Now you need to confront Symmetry on the world stage. Finally defeat Symmetry in the lair.
In Imbalance of power, The genius is getting tired of Symmetry vexing her so the genius is making a plan to finish her once and for all. First the player will once again have to swipe anvil artifact from A.N.V.I.L Territory on the world stage. The player learns that Symmetry has one weakness, and that is slippery floors. Upon Finishing researching on the data bank the Player must construct a Slippery floors in the lair. The next step is to fire the doomsday device a central A.N.V.I.L provinces. Symmetry will bring Heist team members as usual. The player must kill the heist team members and capture Symmetry in the lair. Finally interrogate Symmetry on the Slippery floor. After Symmetry slippering on the floor the genius will mock Symmetry one more time after that Symmetry will be taken from the World Stage permanently. The Player can now cause havoc on A.N.V.I.L Territory on world stage without the Player worrying about Symmetry raiding your vault and stealing your gold
As of v.1.12, if the player wishes to choose to recruit Symmetry, then One of Us will show up (a short one) some rumors you heard of is that symmetry is alive so send some your muscle minions to "help her change his mind" then the mission is over- reward the greatest rogue joins your cause
Should the player have spared symmetry by not completing her quest line or recruited her, she will raid the base with the remaining super agents in the final mission to try and stop them from taking over the world.
Trivia[]
- Symmetry seems to be inspired by Carmen Sandiego, both characters being skilled thieves, adorning semi-eccentric clothing and seemingly vanishing once they steal something. This theory is supported by the 3rd Side Story of her questline, Where in the World is Symmetry?, referencing Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?.
- The Rebellion developers didn't design Symmetry's sitting animation, so the only way for her to recover her stats is to use Possum.
- If recruited, Symmetry has a pistol, just like Janet Bombe.
- She has a cat.
