Character
"Passion and despair... Bad wishes and good wishes... They were all contained in that moment. And then the story... takes root in someone's heart... and changes that person's world."

- Altair The original TV anime "Re:CREATORS". The biggest key person in this story. The person who brought the creatures, including Selesia, to the realm. At first, her identity was unknown and she was tentatively called a princess in a military uniform, but later she was a character in the secondary creation video "World Étude" produced by Setsuna based on the character "Shirotsumekusa" in "Eternal War Megalosphere" becomes clear. She has the ability "Holopsicon", which uses fan-created settings inspired by Setsuna, produced by third parties and endorsed by many. With this, she has multiple abilities called Movements and can keep her status updated, but since there is a possibility that she will be flipped out of reality by the restorative power of the world, she is free to I can't use it.

She hates the world that rejected his creator, Setsuna and plans a catastrophe by causing unrealistic events with fellow creatures. In the Border World Colosseum, he gained overwhelming power by putting his approval power on his side, driving all creatures hostile to him out of combat with Shinrabansho, and his hidden ball, Sirius. However, after interacting with Setsuna, who has materialized, she travels to another world with Setsuna in Shinrabansho in order to finally create a world for her. From the time the original was written, the design was decided to be a military uniform, and at first, it was covered with a helmet like the old German army, but later settled on a Russian cavalry cap. Also, the appearance of taking over Sirius was originally designed to just make Sirius black, but during the scenario meeting, it was changed to look like the main part of the anime.

In addition to launching sword attacks, they can also be used defensively, and even handle machine guns. The ability that it uses is called "Holopsicon". When activating the ability in the first episode, he holds the machine gun with one hand as if he were placing his stock on his shoulder, and puts the saber on top of it. It looks like it, and it shows an action as if it were pulling it. She has created a faction with Mamika Kouki, Aliceteria February, Blitz Talker, etc. as supporters of the "change of the world" that he preaches, and is based in a certain ruin.

His identity and true purpose are shrouded in mystery, but he seems to know Sota and calls him a "strange coincidence." As for her true purpose, Meteora Österreich sees her plotting a "catastrophic event" that will destroy both the real and false worlds. She seems to be able to handle mysterious powers easily, but according to the original author, "I can't master the technique, and the conditions for appearing are not set." Initially, Souta does not know her, but later remembers her true name and her creator. For more information on her true identity and her actions after her true name was discovered, see her true name article.

Abilities
"I will destroy everything, including you. Destroy, and destroy, and destroy more, until everything in this world disappears. That is the reason I'm standing here today"

- Altair revealing her true intentions to Mamika.

While she claimed to do this to force their creators to alter their worlds, she actually aims to destroy the real world out of spite over the death of her own creator. It is eventually revealed that she originated from the music video Altair: World Étude. Altair was created by Setsuna "Yuna" Shimazaki as a "Sketch" or "Concept Art" for Souta Mizushino as well as for her "World Étude" music video before her final demise (Abstract Existence and Acausal Nature). This was stated multiple times in the series that she is nothing more than a sketch/drawing.
