Art fight card under the cut
Taken from Twitter. Label is Paramirum II (a variant of Paracelsus).
The Gate Design is taken from the Sephirot/Qliploth or "Tree of Life".
Otherwise the other label is Hoenheim (the Alchemist's surname).
I can't say for sure if this is Flament Nagel's original form (since he possessed multiple body vessels over the years, but it is one form he can take).
The other is his old Goat-Skull Look:
Side Note: Flament Nagel's Historical Nickname is the "Sanguine Gale" [Budoshu no Tachikaze]

Bottles warped by the Nagasaki blast in the climax of World War 2
William S. Stover, a pharmacist mate, stepped foot among the ruins of Nagasaki to collect a relic from the devastating blast.
In a letter sent home to his father, he recounted the experience, "A bunch of us went up to the ruins to hunt for souvenirs. I'm sending a few pieces home that I picked up. There were some skeletons around, but when you touched them they just crumbled to ashes."

Annon-Guy: Some things about Bedman?;
Is It a robot, a revenant or some kind of demon (because of the flesh like substance under It's face)?
Is Bedman? just a program or is It actually the original Bedman's spirit possessing the bedframe?
What kind of personality would you use to describe Bedman? as It is now? I know It's incapable of forming memories anymore, It's protective of Delilah, and until Delilah asked It to stop doing so, was self-destructive.
First: 8th Generation High Density Bedframe is its full name description as told in Guilty Gear Xrd.
Based on what we know, it has the ability to "catch dreams" via a Dream-Catcher Lattice it generates with its hands via Bedman's "Deja Vu" powers. (The power to Play Back Dreams like a Rewinded film).
The Label "Oneroi" is also printed on the Bedframe's hands, which suggests Bedman infused "Dream Demons" in to the frame to further expand his powers in the realm of Dreams.
As for the Bedframe in Guilty Gear Strive's events after Romeo's Demise: As far as can be determined, it is a spirit-replica of Bedman's remnant will possessing the Bedframe despite being a technically inanimate object.
You can think of it as a Magical Foci Beast, similar in the vein of Paracelsus (A.B.A.'s Key partner) and Izuna who was a Kanzashi Tsukumogami (an object given great care that gained a soul of its own).
The reason it is a "replica" of Bedman's will can be evidenced by its intelligence and powers that could at least temporarily bind Delilah's Magic for a time. This was originally something only Bedman could do with his powers, but was transferred to the Bedframe.
At the height of Bedman's power the Bedframe could completely regenerate from the damage it took from Bedman's battle with Slayer, but as of Strive's events, because Bedman is not present to fully repair the unit with his power, the damage has taken its toll.
The Bedframe itself seems to only have a short-term memory, based on its description in Strive, so it can only execute basic levels of communication at the moment.
More evidence that it is a replica of Bedman's Will is related to the idea that it concerned itself with Delilah as a priority, but also it is similar in fact to the way Eddie was born from Zato=ONE's body (a soul that got replicated inside a Kinjuu/Forbidden Beast Shadow Organism).
The gestures it makes around Delilah and the fact Delilah can identify it as her brother's Bed suggests that there is some unspoken almost psychic bond between herself and the Bedframe. This is simply conjecture, but it is likely that much like how Delilah states that she is more powerful than her Brother was... that power alone is part of what allows her to communicate with the Bed.
The frame's "head" is semi-organic, with a mouth (though it has a giant alarm clock inside its head that activates during Sinusoidal Helios).
It is still somewhat unclear the true origin of Bedman and the Bed itself... but most likely it is a combination of Bedman's power influencing the Bed as well as some heinous experiments done on Romeo and his sister prior to the events of Xrd.
I would venture to guess that the ones responsible for Bedman's origins are likely connected to Crow Kuruwaba, Happy Chaos, the Conclave, and especially the former members of the Postwar Administration Bureau.
Strive's story suggests that P.W.A.B. has been fully reformed since Millia Rage took command, but prior to this it was a den of Mad Scientists and Warmongers with no ethical restrictions on using either Gears or Humans for experiments.
This only paints a very dark picture about events that we don't know occurred in the shadows of the History of the Crusades.

You know what stuff ducks me up?
The outrage isn't really relics.
Sol just lost them a long time ago and lived a real fucking long time.
. . .Sol can still build stuff now imagine the possibilities of what he could build after all this time.
A weapon to truly rival Donald's zettaflare (nuke¹⁶ if I remember correctly)
While Sol could build anything he wants, he has to consider getting internationally sanctioned for it (if not imprisoned/executed for War Crimes)... (it's the same with Gear manufacturing, which is considered illegal). Most high end Magic energy weapons are contraband Blacktech by definition.
Also, the term "War Relic" relates more to things like Project Tir na Nog (the White House Flying Spaceship) and older technology that was developed during the Crusades that was somehow forgotten about.
The Jinki "Sacred Treasures" are still technically War Relics because they were lost DURING the Crusades for a time, but were later recovered by various individuals or secured by the Conclave.
Just think of the term War Relic as something that was a powerful weapon/technology during the war that shouldn't exist in peacetime.
