NPC Info Name: David Harlock Age: 13 going on 14 Height: 5'9" Weight: 160 pounds Job: Student Personality: Al`s youngest brother. Outgoing, ambitious and adept at Zoid piloting, though he`s only had experience practicing in a Gustav, Shadow Fox and Command Wolf. Currently experiencing his first major growth spurt, and he`s got the stretch marks to prove it after having gone from 4'10" to 5'9" in under a year. Like the rest of the Harlock children, David is dark- skinned and green-haired, and more than any of the others, he epitomizes Harlock Disaster Syndrome. David`s also got a rather large scar across one arm -- the result of when he got a little too close to Al`s world. Usually, David favors black jean shorts and a green or blue t-shirt, along with sneakers. He`s almost never armed, though he has some skill with a firearm. It`s not uncommon for girls to chase him around, though his mother or Alistair usually frightens them away. Name: Timothy Harlock Age: 24 going on 25 Height: 6'5" Weight: 230 pounds Job: Freelancer Personality: Al`s oldest brother. Tim is the token 'normal' Harlock. He`s relatively sociable, but plagued with bouts of extreme unluckiness. Tim is, like the other Harlock children, dark-skinned and green-haired. He`s also the one said to most resemble their father, though he usually grows his hair out a bit to help throw off the resemblance. He usually wears jeans and a t-shirt. Unlike David, Tim has learned that it`s generally advisable to carry a weapon, and that`s just what he does. He carries a DGM-311 at his side and a shotgun in his Gustav. While he`s got training to pilot a variety of Zoids, he currently works as a freelance transport pilot, usually taking jobs for his father`s shipping company. He was once a suspect for the Twilight City Bombings, but has since been cleared -- much to his relief. Name: Anna Harlock Age: 22 Height: 5'9" Weight: 150 pounds Job: College Student/Mechanic Personality: Al`s sister, the middle child of the Harlocks and their only girl. Anna is the most intellectual of the siblings, barring Alistair himself, and the most even-tempered. Anna`s essentially a bombshell when she stops being uptight -- she closely resembles her aunt, Pierce, without the other woman`s contact lenses. She usually wears glasses due to nearsightedness, inflicted upon herself by reading too much. While she`s currently attending college somewhere in Delpoi, she`s also an excellent mechanic in training, not to mention a natural tinkerer. To date, she`s created a half-dozen customized Zoids, including her own Red Horn HT, all of which have been disassembled for various reasons. She hopes to break into the world of Zoid design once she finishes college. Name: Asimov Richter the Fifth Age: Early 50s Height: 5'10" Weight: 250 pounds Job: Apparently a legit businessman with ties to the Zoid Battle Commission. If he has anything on the side, it`s unknown. Personality: An even shadier son of a bitch than Alistair, and more to the point: One who revels in that fact. He has little regard for human life, more money than God and has the will to use all of it. As of late, he`s been put on the run by a ZBC sting operation. Appearance: Caucasian with greying hair, a few gold rings, loafers and a white business suit. His face has a few distinguishing scars, but the most noticeable is what`s left of a rather large gash across his left cheek. Name: Edmund Verne Age: 29-ish Height: 6'0" Weight: 215 pounds Job: One of Asimov`s chief bodyguard/'business reps', specializing in close quarters and hostile negotiations Personality: Generally laid back, although he has a mean streak two miles long. He`s also somewhat afraid of Alistair, but more so for what Smith knows than what he can do. Appearance: Caucasian, with bleach-blonde hair that`s been buzzed down, though his eyebrows are black. Wears a dark red business suit with a white undershirt, along with thick-soled loafers and a stylish pair of sunglasses. Tends to keep a pair of fingerless gloves in his pockets at all times, usually for when he 'goes to work.' Whether he`s armed or not is anyone`s guess. Nobody knows what his eyes look like. Name: Dominic Doyle Age: 29-ish Height: 6'3" Weight: 240 pounds Job: One of Asimov`s chief bodyguard/'business reps', specializing in firearms and hostile negotiations Personality: More intense than Edmund, but also more restrained as well. Definately the 'thinker' of the two. Appearance: Caucasian with buzzed down black hair. Wears a dark green business suit with a black undershirt, along with thick-soled loafers and a pair of stylish sunglasses. Tends to keep a pair of leather gloves in his pockets at all times, usually for when he 'goes to work.' Tends to keep a gun or two on him at all times, and he has no problem letting people know it. Nobody knows what his eyes look like. Name: Shinobu Tokugawa Age: Unknown(Late 20s to early 30s) Height: 6'1" Weight: Unknown(Est. 450 pounds) Job: Asimov`s most deadly bodyguard, though he doesn`t work as one of his 'business reps' as well. Personality: Classic loner with a decidedly mixed past consisting of violence and experimentation that`s left him physically changed into something along the lines of a human-Zoid hybrid. While this has been a source of misery for much of his recent past, it also gives him a well- deserved sense of confidence in his work. Be it a result of his past prior to this change, or maybe even because of the changes rendered to his brain chemistry, Shinobu has a very odd sense of right and wrong. He has no qualms with killing by any means necessary, be it men, women or even children. He`s also possessed of a strong work ethic and a slight ego attached to it. Put simply: He`s a bodyguard, not an assassin. Lastly, he`s a well-versed student of the Sandstorm style of martial arts, derived from Wing Chun Kung-Fu. Appearance: Asian male with silver eyes, short and spiky black hair and a slight tan. Tends to wear lots of black. Favors black boots, a sleeveless shirt, slacks, fingerless gloves and a cape, but as of late, he`s started wearing outfits similar to Edmund and Dominic when working. Always armed with an ancient Colt .45 Revolver and a red European broadsword forged from the horn of a King Gojulas.
