Name: Reverence(Rev Raptor) Colors: Black body, tail, thighs, shoulders and head with red neck, lower legs and arms. The claws, talons, scythes and teeth are all gold, and the eyes are standard green. Personality: The original Giantkiller, and the single ballsiest level one since Mike Strahl had a Guysack. Reverence is a calmer Zoid most of the time, but also a fierce individual and... Well, to be blunt, he`s downright crazy. On top of that, this craziness tends to carry over to Alistair`s piloting style whenever he`s handling it, and as a result, Reverence has unwittingly set the standard for combat with a Rev Raptor: Victory or suicide. There are no alternatives. Themes: Don Davis - Navras/Big O - Stand a Chance Name: Knives(Slash Liger) Colors: Black armor with red detailing to all booster intakes and the like. The blades are all black with silver edges, and the claws and teeth are also silver. The cockpit glass is standard. Personality: Frothing homicidal maniac. Knives is a lunatic by any standard, and lacks both self-preservation and mercy. Knives is a hard Liger to reign in, reminiscent of Amadeus in his intensity and contempt in battle. However, as maniacal as Knives is, this is a Slash Liger that knows when to practice restraint in battle, but only for helping further Alistair`s plans. For proof of Knives` insanity and devotion to its pilot`s cause(not to mention his own love for mayhem), one need only look at the battle where the Slash Liger singlehandedly brought down a Great Whale King in a virtual suicide move that leveled the entire battlefield. Themes: Disturbed - Conflict/Drowning Pool - Bodies Sidenote: When his blades/claws are charged, they tend to glow silver, not gold. His shield is also a dark gold in color. Name: Methiahs(Blade Liger) Colors: Red(ala Leon Tauros) with silver blades, claws and teeth. The cockpit is standard. Personality: Methiahs was the initial successor to Alistair`s long- departed Shield Liger, Amadeus, acquired shortly after the latter was killed in battle by Loki, a Geno Breaker Psychosis. Where Amadeus, and later on, Knives, were both completely homicidal though, Methiahs is a far more laid back, and even somewhat attention starved Zoid. Always playing second-fiddle to Knives and even Reverence, Methiahs rarely gets any real time in the spotlight. To his credit though, the Red Blade has his moments, like when he executed the first HI-Blade attack of Alistair`s career against the Queen Gojulas, contributing heavily to the eventual defeat of the thing. Themes: Don Davis - Tetsujin/Witch Hunter Robin - Flame Sidenote: Methiahs` claws and teeth tend to light up silver instead of gold. Same with his blades and HIBA. The shield tends to be bright blue. Name: Deimos(Storm Sworder) Colors: Red with black blades and green optics. Personality: An unknown factor all together. Deimos has yet to be piloted in any sort of battle, but seems markedly more laid back than Alistair`s other Zoids. Themes: None yet Sidenote: Deimos` blades glow silver when activated. Name: Killswitch(Geno Saurer) Colors: White armor, red vents, blue optics and standard weapons. Personality: Every bit as vicious and malignant as Knives, but even more methodical, patient and destructive. Killswitch is another unknown factor, as Alistair has yet to even see the thing, but he`ll be appearing sooner or later... And it won`t be pretty when he does. Themes: Disturbed - Awaken/Witch Hunter Robin - Surprise Attack/Witch Hunter Robin - Tactics Sidenote: Killswitch`s charged particle beams tend to be red in color. Name: Lazarus, the Arcanum(Liger Zero) Colors: All armors are crimson with gold detailing. The exception is the Standard, which is crimson with black detailing. The optics are green. All blades/claws/teeth are standard colors. Personality: The terror reborn. Lazarus is, in all likelihood, the single oldest Liger Zero on the face of the planet. Its existence may date as far back as Ancient Zoidian times, but this can only be speculated upon. Prior to its debut battle -- a veritable slugging match that left 348 people dead and wrecked six city blocks in downtown Twilight City -- Lazarus was very likely the most powerful Liger Zero that had ever lived, outranking even RaWr in terms of raw experience. This was helped by an unknown form of technology that allowed it to literally shift between armors in mid-battle without any outside help whatsoever. Unfortunately, this power, the lion`s share of its experience and the advanced technology that allowed it to do the things it did were all lost when a rogue Organoid ambushed it and literally braindamaged the thing. The Organoid bonded to Lazarus` core was critically wounded and its slate more or less wiped clean to a mere fraction of its former power. The actual Zoid`s memory banks were equally damaged, leaving it nothing but a shell of its former glory... But a shell can still feel... And it can still fight. Themes: Episode III - Battle of Heroes/Obi-Wan vs Anakin Sidenote: The Lazarus of today is actually the product of a ZBC restoration project trying to bring back the original. Alistair is merely the current test pilot. OTHER ZOIDS Name: The Mad Gustav Colors: Imperial Standard(Black body, green cockpit glass, white shell) Personality: ... Proof that being around the Harlocks is enough to give you a lifetime of bad luck when it comes to attaining even a transport. The Mad Gustav is... Well... Mad. Completely insane, as a matter of fact, with tendencies to do go on driverless jaunts about Twilight City, scroll the lyrics to pirate songs and commit random acts of property damage whenever the opportunity arrises. On the upside, the Mad Gustav is surprisingly powerful for a simple Gustav... That or simply too crazy to notice the strain of pulling up to six Zoids at once. Take your pick, really. Themes: Ravenous - Run/Trigun - Knives RP-Only Sidenotes: The Mad Gustav has a modified cockpit(larger, with a fold-out bed in the back). Name: Howler(Command Wolf) Colors: Republican Standard(White armor, black structure, orange cockpit glass) Personality: A crafty, albeit somewhat easily annoyed Wolf, Howler was the second Zoid that Alistair originally registered with. It was restored by his adopted father and, for a time, served him pretty well as his second-in-line to Amadeus. Unfortunately, aside from a fluke victory over a Helcat, Alistair found that he didn`t much like piloting the thing... So he sent it home, where it now resides in the hands of Smith`s youngest brother: David. May God have mercy on Howler`s poor soul, for David most certainly won`t. Theme: Trigun - Never Could Have Been Worse RP-Only Sidenotes: Modified with the Attack Unit and a DLVG. Name: Hell D Gaia(Heldigunner) Colors: Dark red with black weapons and a dark silver cockpit Personality/Etc: Craftier than Howler, meaner than Knives and considerably faster than almost any other Heldigunner on the planet. Hell, D or even Gaia, as it`s known, is the result of an illegal customization by the Backdraft Group, possessing a pair of AZ350mm Mortar Cannons and a top speed of roughly 300 kilometers per hour above ground. More recently, it`s also been modified to possess a pair of gigantic tail-cutting blades enhanced by Live Wire, along with a battery of four Laser Repeaters. Themes: Hellsing - Opening/Trigun - No Beat DEAD ZOIDS Name: Mordeus the Ruiner(Giga Gojulas) Colors: Black all over, with golden optics that turn red when sufficiently angered. Personality: A vicious killing machine if there ever was one. Mordues, or Death God, was the first ZX that Alistair ever piloted, and he proved to be even more violent and brutal than Knives. Mordeus was originally granted to Smith as an 'employment opportunity' from a wealthy gambler(and mobster) named Asimov Richter the Fifth. This was also the first Zoid that Alistair ever truly 'heard' speaking - and the reason that Smith started to develop the rudimentaries of mental blocks. Mordeus was killed in battle shortly after Alistair`s third battle with it. It fought an abnormally powerful and utterly evil Liger Zero, and ended up dying in order to try and achieve some level of victory against it. The battle leveled around six city blocks in downtown Twilight City and left 348 people dead, with many more missing or injured. Themes: Big O - Sin/Big O - The Great(Gold Mode)/Godsmack - Awake(Red Mode) RP-Only Sidenote: Mordeus was capable of a weaker version of the King Gojulas` Banshee Unit shriek, and gained heightened speed and reflexes when in Red Mode, though he was also proportionately more difficult to reign in.
