[COLOR=CRIMSON][SIZE=2][U][B][CENTER]Zoids: Survivor Series[/B][/U][/SIZE][/COLOR]


[COLOR=TEAL][SIZE=1][I]�Welcome to the Planet Zi. This world is home to many creatures but the most notable feature is the mechanical race of beings called the Zoids who are believed to be created by the planets original inhabitants before the humans arrived. There are many uses for Zoids on Zi; some are used for manual labour, some for supply transport but the overwhelming use of Zoids is combat orientated.


After a peaceful beginning after coming to Zi the two rival states, the Guylos Empire and the Helic Republic, went to war with each other for reasons which have been lost in the sands of time but the key weapons in this war were the Zoids themselves.


Over the years the war covered human scientist took it upon themselves to create a new form of Zoid which was not indigenous to Zi but completely human created and these new Zoids took to the field as the war raged on. Eventually the respective powers fought the war to a standstill and the two sides agreed to a cease fire. In this time many of the combat Zoids were decommissioned and it became very rare to see a Zoid with weaponry and even rarer to see such Zoids in action.


The only Zoids of this type kept around were mainly for historical displays or ceremonies such as the coronation of a new Emperor in Guylos.


Soon it became apparent that many of the old Zoid pilots were frustrated with this turn of events and became protesting at the decommissioning of the Zoids they had grown attached to, in order to resolve this the Republic and the Empire created a group called the Zoid Battle Commission [Z.B.C.] so the pilots could fight each other in a controlled environment for money, fame and so on.


This combat style reinvigorated Zi and production on Zoids returned to its war-time highs. The Z.B.C. has been in operation for over eighty years now and during this time both Guylos and Helic have dissolved and formed a united country simply called the Confederation of Zi.


But as with all things the pilots have become bored with the monotony of simple team combat and the usual tournaments. Masuyo Ebina, Chief-Commissioner of the Z.B.C., has called for creative thinkers within the Z.B.C. to create a new style of combat for the pilots of this new age and not long after this call a talented youth within the Z.B.C. known as Kazuki Sho devised a plan that would bring about the re-invention of Zoid Combat today.


His idea was simple, Zoid Survivor Series [Z.S.S.], a new breed of competition which called for pilots to test their intelligence and wits instead of just their simple combat skill and Zoid technical know-how.


The first Z.S.S. is scheduled to take place within the next fortnight and only a select group of pilots have been called for this grand unveiling. There are no teams in this battle, no friends, no advisors but only the pilot and the Zoid. It is truly a great challenge for any Zoid pilot who wants to test his or her worth."[/I]

[U]Battle Styles:[/U]

[LIST]
[*][B]One-on-One:[/B] The most simple of Zoid battles. Two Pilots put there skills to the test in this simple combat where the winner is the Zoid with the most power left after the allotted time period unless it is a �Total Combat� style battle where the last Zoid standing is the winner. Terrain can vary.

[*][B]Tag-Team:[/B] Two teams of two face each other in this battle. The terrain is suited to the combat so it is not a straight forward �run and fire� battle-field, there are obstacles to over come. The first team to deactivate both opposing Zoids is declared the winners. Only two Zoids may be �in play� at anyone time.

[*][B]Obstacle Course:[/B] There are five stages of obstacle which can range from weapon placements to natural barriers. Two Zoid pilots are involved in this event and the first to complete the course is declared the winner. The Zoids are not permitted to open fire on each other during this contest but may fire upon the course itself.

[*][B]Capture the Flag:[/B] Two teams of three Zoids battle it out over an open battle-field attempting to capture the enemy �flag�, or base. All Zoids on the team may be active at any given time but the use of stealth technology and radar evasion systems is prohibited in this contest. Any weapon, save the C.P.G. and its relations, may be used.

[*][B]King of the Hill:[/B] A six Zoid contest. The playing field is a wide open area with a single hill in the middle, the rules are simple. The first Zoid to the top of the hill is declared the winner. All weapons and systems are allowed for use during this battle. There is a speed limit of 215KPH set on this event.

[*][B]Battle Royal:[/B] Similar to the One-on-One battle but this event has one difference. Instead of two Zoids fighting each other there are eight Zoids all battling it out to be declared winner. An added bonus is the �Sentry Zoids� which come in to play should a Zoid stray into their Patrol Zone, once this happens the S.Z. is free to roam the playing field and attack whom ever it wishes.

[*][B]Maze:[/B] Another non-combat event. Two Zoids are deposited in the centre of a maze and the task is to simply be the first to exit and this gain the most points. Similar is some ways to the Obstacle course in that there are barriers in the way and puzzles to solve as well as another batch of Sentry Zoids. All weapons and systems are allowed in this event though firing upon the other Zoid is prohibited.

Welcome all to the Zoid Survivor Series or just to say it simply, the Z.S.S. Now this isn�t the usual Zoid RPG where people sign up with there team mates and do the usual team battles and stuff like that, oh no. As you can see I have a point system and a list of battle styles so it�s obvious that it�s not normal combat all the way through. Think of it as a reality show kind of thing where you�ve got to do different tasks and get awarded points and such. Now the reason I�ve called it �Survivor Series� is because every so often I�m going to take out the person with the least points, even if it�s me, so eventually we�ll be left with one person who�ll be declared the �Survivor�.


I�m only allowing eight people, including me, into the RPG so I want you all to do your best on your sign-ups as well as sending me a recent post sample from an RPG you�re in. I think that�s all I need to say on the subject so if you have any questions don�t hesitate to post them in the underground thread of the same name. With out further ado here is the sign up sheet:

[U]Character[/U]


[B]Name:[/B] Kazuki Sho.


[B]Gender:[/B] Male.


[B]Age:[/B] 22.


[B]Appearance: [URL=http://blood-colored.org/kaiba/kaiba-face.jpg]Click here[/URL][/B]


[B]Personality:[/B] Kazuki is the epitome of an over-achiever but he doesn�t see this as a bad thing. In his mind he is the best around so the only way to get better is to set his goals so high he can�t achieve them and so he makes himself better. Many people see him as a big-headed fool who thinks he is simply the best; though he doesn�t agree with them Kazuki doesn�t go out of his way to quell these rumours. The reasons being he doesn�t have the time and he knows himself they aren�t true. Kazuki�s grandfather and father were pilots in the Helic-Guylos war [Imperial] so he sees it as a family tradition to be a great pilot which is why he sets himself up as the bests and acts so superior around others.


His insufferable nature makes it very hard for others to get to know him or make friends with him, not that he minds of course. He sees friendship as a distraction to Zoid piloting so he feels it�s best to avoid it. The only people he truly cares about are himself and his family but most notable his little brother and sister [Twins]. They give him his inspiration to fight and be the best so what ever money he makes out of winning battles in the Z.B.C. he sends a certain amount back home even though they don�t really need it because now his grandfather and father run a highly successful Zoid parts business and are one of the main suppliers to the Z.B.C.


Kazuki and his father have a good relationship but it is not as good as the one he shares with his mother and siblings because his father hasn�t played that much of a role in Kazuki�s life what with the war and now the business. Despite this Kazuki always thinks of his father while fighting in the hopes that it will give him the strength to battle on.


[B]Pilot Ranking:[/B] First.


[B]Z.B.C Registration Number:[/B] ZRN-27849-AC.


[B]Biography/Personal History:[/B] Kazuki has been brought up hearing tales of the war between Helic and Guylos so from an early age he had an all consuming fascination with the old Zoid pilots and the Zoids used during the war. Though it was a rare thing for his father to take Kazuki with him to work it did happen on occasion, when he did Kazuki was always fascinated by the Zoids and how they were made but he always had a slight dislike for the sleekness and the loss of an animal quality the newer Zoids had when compared to the early Imperial and Republic Zoids of the war though he accepted that the trade off for looks was of little concern in respect to the new weaponry and command options these Zoids carried.


During his early childhood he would always be playing with his Zoid figures, building the model kits of old Zoids and drawing pictures of himself in the future as a top class Zoid pilot in the hopes of making his father proud. When Kazuki was eight his mother gave birth to twins and they were named Akemi and Yuki. With the arrival of his brother and sister Kazuki had found the inspiration he needed to force him beyond his dreams and make a really attempt at being a Zoid pilot. Upon entering school Kazuki found his attention often wondered while in class because he was day-dreaming about Zoids and being a great pilot.


This often got him into trouble with his teachers so it earned him a reputation of being a slacker in school and notes were often sent home though his parents usually understood why Kazuki�s teachers weren�t very impressed with him. Despite having the majority of his teachers against him Kazuki was able to get fairly good grades in school but this mattered little to him because you didn�t need grades to become a pilot; All you needed was a strong will, Zoid know-how and quite a bit of money but fortunately for Kazuki he had all of that and more. A few months after leaving school Kazuki�s father felt confident that he was ready for the Z.B.C. and gave him enough money for a Level 2 Zoid which led to Kazuki�s first Zoid being a Hammer Rock.


The main reason was Kazuki purchased this Zoid was the nostalgia value for it dated back to the Zenebas Empire and had a very good feel to it but of course Kazuki made the appropriate up-grades and tweaks to the Hammer Rock before entering himself in the D Class of the Z.B.C. battle groups. A few shaky battles went by before Kazuki became fully confident with the Hammer Rock. With a lack of ranged weaponry his favoured tactic was to get close to the enemy and open fire with his 30mm cannons and rocket boxes before attacking them in a melee combat. This tactic worked well against Zoids like the Aro Saurer but saw limited success against the Command Wolf and similar Zoids of that class. Within a few months Kazuki was in the top range of class D fighters and felt the need to change his Zoid from the old Hammer Rock before he could tackle class C.


Instead of sticking to his usual habit of going for older style Zoids Kazuki choose a Black Rhimos, he felt it was like an up-grade of sorts from his Hammer Rock because he could still use the same tactic in battle but now had many more weapons to choose from for a ranged attack but he still liked to charge right in with the horn drill of the Rhimos. After a few weeks in class C Kazuki quickly realised his stylized combat tactic wouldn�t cut it against these new level Zoids. Mainly because the pilots were that much better but also because many of the Zoids were faster than his Black Rhimos and so were able to dodge the charge more then a few times. By the time he was 18 he had radically changed his battle strategy was well as his Zoid. Going back to his early piloting days he went out and brought an Iron Kong as his third Zoid.


This gave him the sense of nostalgia once more thus reinvigorating him during his battles which went much better now because the Iron Kong was suited to both long range and close up combat but even more so with Kazuki�s upgrades to the Zoid. He soon reached the high rankings of the C Class pilots but just as he was on the verge of getting accepted into B Class news from home came telling him that his mother had become ill and was asking for him to come home, not only to be there for her but to also care for his brother and sister. Without a second thought the 19 year old Kazuki set his sights for home. Upon his return Akemi and Yuki where do excited by his tales of Zoid battles and always playing around his Iron Kong, on many occasions he had to get them out of the cock-pit before they did any serious damage to themselves, the Zoid or the surrounding area.


Within a few months his mother was feeling strong enough to care for the twins but with his absence from C Class the rankings had changed radically and he found himself in a much lower position that he had been when he had left. This would have mattered had it not been for his father securing Kazuki a job with the Z.B.C. Research Division which was aimed toward new combat methods, tournament styles and Zoid development. Kazuki would always be at home on the battlefield and, though he was in C Class many though of him as worth of A Class. Within a year of being with the Z.B.C. the 20 year old Kazuki had pioneered many new things for the commission but he had declined work on many Zoid projects because he had his own going. He had been looking through the old Zoid database and he had found the ultimate Zoid for him and so had put all his spare time into constructing the Zoid himself.


The Zoid was a King Baron and Kazuki felt it was the Zoid he should use from now on. Not only was it a very old Zoid design hailing from the early days of the war but it had such a large and diverse arsenal it was the epitome of a multi-purpose Zoid. And even though he was not a Z.B.C. pilot any longer he still gave the project everything he had until the Zoid was finally completed. After a few more months with the Z.B.C. research team Kazuki heard the news of Masuyo Ebina looking for a new way to fight Zoid battles and a fresh tournament for the pilots to compete in. It didn�t take Kazuki to long to come up with the Zoid Survivor Series, or simply Z.S.S., and when he presented it to Masuyo the Commissioner-in-Chief liked the idea so much he asked Kazuki what he�d like in return for the creation of the idea. And Kazuki simply wanted to take part in the tournament, not only to test his piloting skills but as a d�but for his new King Baron Zoid.

[Gavin]

[size=1]Well that's that edited with a very fine bio if I do say so myself.

[b][u]Character Sheet[/b][/u]

[b]Name:[/b] Malcolm Kane, known mostly as just Kane.

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Age:[/b] Early 30s

[b]Appearance:[/b] [img]http://adventkane.250free.com/Sheppard.jpg[/img]
As pretty much seen here, Malcolm almost always has some kind of a cheeky grin on his face in anticipation of his next battle.

[b]Personality:[/b] Enigmatic, charismatic, closet genius, there are plenty of big words to describe Kane?s personality that wouldn?t really do, in truth the simplest way to describe Kane is as an adventurer. He looks to just put himself out there and get into the thick of things, an adrenaline junkie as one ex-girlfriend called him, equally descriptive though he prefers the former to the latter. In battle Kane is at his best, totally immersed, nothing else matters beyond the thrill of the fight, victory in nice but in the end it doesn?t really matter as far as he?s just as to fight as to win. Out of the battlefield he?s pretty much the same guy though a little less focused, kind and caring with a wry sense of humour. He likes to spend his time either enjoying life outside the battlefield or tinkering around with some new mods on his Gun Blaster, can be a bit arrogant but doesn?t really mean to be.

[b]Pilot Ranking:[/b]

[b]Z.B.C Registration Number:[/b] ZRN-23287-AC

[b]Biography/Personal History:[/b] [B]Kane[/B]tic, it?s hard to talk about Zoids today without mentioning their name, founded over sixty years ago Kanetic is one of the largest Zoid and Parts production companies in the entire Confederation, to which Malcolm is now the sole heir. Growing up Malcolm was surrounded by everything his wealth brought him, influence, prominence and loneliness; it is a strange twist of fate that the cause of his loneliness would also be the means with which he could banish it. His parents were socialites, they enjoyed nothing more than the extravagance their riches had brought them, often they would leave him on his own for hours while they were entertained by the rich and powerful of the Confederation. Malcolm on the other hand had no time for such nonsense, his grandfather Martin who had helped found Kanetic with his father (Malcolm's great-grandfather) also felt the same way, and he often said how horrible it was to see his son become so elitist in nature.

Though his grandfather held all power to Kanetic he knew that his son would run the company into the ground if he ever got his hands on it, Malcolm on the other hand was seen by his grandfather to be the perfect candidate, inspired by stories of combat as well as spending a great deal of time learning the inner workings of the company. It is funny that his father never even got a chance to learn that Malcolm would inherit the company before him, his father and mother were killed in a helicopter crash roughly two months before his 16th birthday. Left now with only his grandfather and guardian Malcolm threw his whole being into making Kanetic as successful as it could possibly be, he would spend hours with the R&D technicians working on new part and Zoid schematics, always eager to continue the legacy. Though still a young man under Malcolm?s stewardship the company reached record profit levels, much of which went to different charities Malcolm created to help those less fortunate than he had been, at least financially.

From as early as 12 Malcolm had been involved in ZBC sanctioned battles, though a rookie he did show potential, his wealth afforded as well as his company?s niche allowed him to choose almost any Zoid imaginable. He picked a Genosaurer to begin with, an infamous Zoid though not nearly as infamous as it?s evolution, Malcolm found himself thrust into a world where money or influence had no bearings. It is in the cockpit that Malcolm truly felt alive, as though it was what he was born to do, by the time he had taken over the family business in the aftermath of his parents death he had reached the A Class of the ZBC?s League, his Genosaurer was considered deadly to all those reckless enough to face it without preparation. Though Malcolm was considered a tough opponent he was not invincible, he frequently lost matches against Zoid pilots with more skill or luck than him, for Malcolm though a victory was only an added bonus in a match.

However when Malcolm was twenty-five his grandfather died of heart attack, this left Malcolm as the only Kane, and as such the sole heir to the Kanetic Corporation and it's fortune. Having resided at the top of the S Class for a number of months in the advent of his grandfather?s death Malcolm decided to announce his retirement, though he did say that he might return one day. For the next eight years Malcolm took Kanetic firmly by the reigns, he lowered the cost of low level Zoids in the knowledge that it would attract new talent to the ZBC, and make Zoid Battles accessible to the common teen, who often proved to be some of the best talent in the league. With this influx into the Arena Malcolm knew he?d have to work closer with the ZBC in order to help make Zoid Combat more challenging than it was, his efforts as well as those on ZBC Research Team led to the creation of Z.S.S. or Zoids: Survivor Series.

Unfortunately for Malcolm his Genosaurer had been practically totalled in a match against one of Kanetic?s new creations, deciding that he didn?t want to return in the same Zoid he?d been S Class Champion in Malcolm took the remnants of an old Gun Blaster. And into this Zoid he poured [strike]his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life...[/strike] all that he was, in return his Gun Blaster surpassed everything he could have expected from it, truly it was the Zoid worthy to announce his return. Painting it in the same colours of his old Genosaurer Malcolm announced his intention to return to Zoid Combat.


[U][b]Zoid Sheet[/b][/U]

[b]Type:[/b] Gun Blaster

[b]Top speed:[/b] 210 Km/h (170 without the boosters)

[b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://www.metalmachinemusic.com/zoids/zimages/gunbluster.jpg][b]Here[/b][/url]
Looks pretty much like your average Gun Blaster apart from the modifications and a sleeker paint job, the navy coloured area around the Gun Blaster?s mid section has been replaced by a dark copper metallic paint which in the right conditions can somewhat camouflage the Gun Blaster. The white parts as well as the feet and lower mouth have been replaced by a dark metallic grey which provides nothing beyond aesthetic pleasure to Kane. The golden metallic paint on the cannons, as well as the paint on the Body Spikes and the Magnums have been replaced by a metallic silver, again just for aesthetics.

[b]Height:[/b] 8.1 meters

[b]Length:[/b] 19 meters

[b]Weapons:[/b] Large Cannon Array, Hardened Alloy Body Spikes, Hardened Alloy Teeth and Horn

[b]Special Abilities:[/b] Megalo-Max Blast (Focused and Dispersed), High-Strength Omni-Directional Shield

[b]Support Systems:[/b] 2x MX-13 Magnums mounted to the back right and left hips, due to the nature of Kane?s custom Gun Blaster he has also had several parts of the Zoid revamped to better perform. The leg units of the GB have been practically ripped out and rebuilt giving the Gun Blaster much better manoeuvrability as well as a speed boost, on top of this in the rear of the Zoid he?s had a special set of boosters put in. The four although small are set into key areas of the body to also increase speed and mobility, the first two are mounted directly at the back of the Zoid and when activated increase speed by 30 Km/h. The remaining two although only increasing speed by 5 Km/h each are positioned in such as way as to allow the Gun Blaster to make turns more quickly at speeds than it would normally be capable of. All in all Kane?s Gun Blaster is quite dangerous in it?s own right.[/size]

[b]Name:[/b] Alia Crossfire

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Age:[/b] 18

[b]Appearance:[/b] [url=http://www.psycko-manga.de/gallery/babe/9-6.htm]Alia[/url]

[b]Personality:[/b] Alia is usually perky, and a pretty friendly chick all around. Unfortunately, she has a major fear of heights, and so has never been able to use her mother?s old Zoid. Alia has been fascinated with Zoids ever since she was a child, and always collected the models. She and her father used to put them together, and her room is covered. Alia has never turned down a friendship, but some have come to very tragic ends. The perky teenager always has a bright look to things, and it?s amazing what a smile can do.

[b]Pilot Ranking:[/b]

[b]Z.B.C Registration Number:[/b] ZRN-59316-AC

[b]Biography/Personal History: [/b] Alia was born two years after her brother, Davis. Her brother is not a Zoid pilot, but he does repairs. Alia grew up in a four-person household, with only fish for company. Her mom was always out on patrol, and her dad was at work. Other than that, she had her brother. No friends, considering everyone she met thought her bouncy disposition was creepy, or stupid. Alia felt dejected as a child, and only her brother could make her smile.

Her dad was, professionally, a Zoid repairer. He owned a large shop, and had many parts that you couldn?t get in other places. Sometimes, when Alia was 8-11 years old, she would help him organize, stock up, and make deliveries. Her older brother would sometimes set her on his lap, and let her drive. She was always thrilled to death. Of course, Bryce learned the trade from his father, and also got his dad?s old Zoid, the Dibison. Their mother, Libby, passed away in a wreck a couple years ago, right before Alia?s 16th birthday. The girl was devastated, and wouldn?t talk to anyone for weeks.

Alia is now perky as usual, and has a couple friends. She still helps her dad out, and her dad now uses her moms old Zoid to do quick, small deliveries. Alia is really excited about the tournament; she hopes she can be recognized. Other than her mother?s death, her life has been pretty normal and docile.

Alia has a huge reputation for the only person who can pilot a Lightning Saix in the mountains. Her home is nestled in the high peaks of a mountain range, and that is why her parents usually used airborne Zoids, or the Dibison. Originally, the Saix would have speared itself, or fell, but Alia, having grown up there, knows all the weak spots in the rock. She?s an expert at balancing the Zoids feet, and even better at shooting alongside the cliff-faces.

The Saix had been locked up in the hanger for years, until Alia learned to pilot it. Of course, she couldn?t get a license for a while, and could only drive it on her own property. Her parents were reluctant to let her use the Zoid on the terrain, as it wasn?t built for it. But she proved them wrong. Alia loved towing broken Zoid parts up from the pits, and even had to tow the Dibison, part-by-part, up from the bottom.

When Alia heard about the competition, she was thrilled. She wanted to show off her skill on field and mountain, but if there is an all-water terrain, she will definitely lose. If the Saix wasn?t built for mountains, it certainly wasn?t built for water. Alia has confidence, but lets hope she has what it takes.

[B]Name:[/B] Christian 'Chris' Marx

[B]Gender:[/B] Male

[B]Age:[/B] 20

[B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/AzureImi/christian.jpg]Christian[/URL]

[B]Personality:[/B] Despite his cool demeanour, Christian is a very kind and caring person. He always keeps a poker face when around people he doesn't know; he prefers to get to know them before throwing himself in and granting them his trust. But once Christian considers you a friend, you will always have someone who will stand by you and fight for you.Christian is very loyal and will do anything he can to help out a friend; of course, having a rich family helps these good deeds along.

Even though Christian has got a very wealthy family, he hasn't let any of it go to his head and he prefers to act like he doesn't even know them, especially when they start talking about cruises in a personal yacht.The young man always dresses well, believing that even if you don't have the money, looking good will always give people a higher opinion of you...he always sticks by this and will encourage anyone to do the same.

Being a rather kind person, Christian is sometimes taken advantage of by people who know of his wealth, ones who are good actors and are able to gain Christian?s trust will easily be able to exploit it and make the most out of him until the young man finds out.Despite that, Christian continues to trust and he always keeps a cool head, even in the worst possible situation, Christian will be able to make quick and sensible decisions.

[B]Biography/Personal History:[/B] It was late Winter when Christian Marx appeared from hospital and started the journey to his new home, a large country mansion, flagged by three police bikes and a black saloon, holding 2 armed bodyguards.Yes, it would be a life of reporters, scandals and Private Schooling, but at that young age of 1 week, Christian was oblivious.

It was only when he learnt about the War and the Zoids at the age of 6 that it all changed. Christian was so fascinated by the idea of 'mecha animals', as his mother put it, that he yearned to know more about them...not the weapons side, but the mechanics. The theory behind Zoids, the way they worked.Of course, this was all too much for a 6 year old, and after many talks with his Grandfather and personal tutors, Christian became bored with Zoids and the Guylos-Helic War and dismissed them as a passing phase.

His parents were actually happy; they didn't want their son to be messed up with some dirty War history and violent weapons. So, for the next 9 years, Christian lived a sheltered life of personal schooling and posh dinner parties.

But, on his birthday as the snow fell lightly outside; a knock came to the door with a 15 year old Christian answering it. A smile crossed his face as he saw the familiar figure of his Uncle standing on the doorstep, shivering from the winter chill. His face was unshaven and his hair was messy, a cigarette hung from his slightly chapped lips, but those bright blue eyes were sparkling kindly as always.Christian?s mother entered the hallway and upon seeing her brother, broke into a large grin, grabbing him in a long awaited hug, saying how pleased she was to see him.

The man laughed and produced a box from his deep coat pockets, pushing it into his nephew's hands. Christian smiled and hugged his Uncle, thanking him for the gift and hastily ran to his room to un-rap it.

What he found was a Zoid model kit, none other than the Ice Blazer. The boy remembered his time of fascination with the machines and quickly set to assembling the model.Once finished, the Ice Blazer stood proudly on the boy?s shelf, until his mother entered the room. She was shocked and scolded the teen for having something that resembled a weapon in his room and quickly grabbed the gift, destroying it and throwing it away.

3 years later Christian left to build an Ice Blazer and become an expert Zoid pilot.

He succeeded and practiced with the Zoid constantly, fairing well enough to make a small name for himself, mainly amongst lower level Zoid pilots.He made no major changes to his Zoid, as it wasn't the winning that spurred him to fight, it was just his way of freeing himself from his parents.

Even though Christian is known himself, he dreams of meeting the legendary Kazuki Sho and battling him, even if he doesn't win, just the thrill would be enough.

Everyones Zoids look fine and dandy but I have a quible with Rhians bio. It's not that it's not good but I feel it could be a little more detailed and slightly longer, to do this you could tell us more about her past before becoming a pilot and such and her career as a pilot.

[B]Z.B.C Registration Number:[/B] ZRN-34516-AC

[B]Biography/Personal History:[/B] Aria?s father was a well known pilot and was famous for his control of his Blade Liger. As Aria grew older, she loved listening to tales that her father told her of his piloting, and the excitement of being in a cockpit. From the moment he told her the feel of piloting a large machine like a Zoid, she couldn?t wait until she herself could proudly climb into a cockpit of Zoid that she called her own.
Aria and her mother used to watch every one of her father?s Zoid battles, either live or on TV. They cheered him on happily from wherever they were, until that day that changed their lives.
When Aria was 10, her father?s team were locked in a battle, when one of the opponents? Zoids hit her father?s Zoid hard, aiming for the cockpit. The attack broke through and hit her father. The other team was disqualified and penalised. Aria?s father was rushed to hospital and he was put in emergency. Herself and her mother hurried to the hospital and the doctor said that he wouldn?t be able to pilot a Zoid again, and would have some permanent scars that wouldn?t allow him to do quite a number of things he used to.
Her father?s Blade Liger was dropped off at the house, and Aria decided to ask her mother if she could fix it up, since it was mainly only the cockpit window that needed to be replaced. They replaced the part and fixed some of the scratches, and it was good as new. But Aria wasn?t allowed to pilot it yet, since she was too young.
Aria?s parents put her through gymnastic and acrobatic classes; she graduated both at the top of her classes. The two courses, on top of her regular schooling, took 2 years.
She was 12, and she was allowed to pilot a Zoid for the first time. Aria would always sit in the cockpit, but when she was able, she actually made it move, and she was overjoyed, her father?s tales had been true, there really was a feeling of power when you piloted a Zoid.
When she was 15, she was allowed to officially get a registration number and get her own Zoid, to pilot in Zoid battles. Aria was happy beyond words and was even happier when her parents revealed her birthday present, which was the Slash Liger that she uses and treasures. As Aria grew more experienced, she added some modifications but she?s very happy with her Zoid.
When she found out about the competition that they were naming Z.S.S. she wanted in straight away and couldn?t wait, being as competitive as she is.

[size=1][color=#696969][B][U]Character[/B][/U]

[B]Name:[/B] Suzaku "Ryuu" Elisi Ansatsu, all know her as "Ryuu".

[B]Alias:[/B] Black Phantom, aka Kaitou- mostly known as Black Phantom

[B]Gender:[/B] Female

[B]Age:[/B] 21

[B]Appearance:[/B]

[B]Personality:[/B] "Out of mind, out of sight." A quote her father had taught her. It was one of the few reasons that she was the way she was. Everything that she did coincided with that quote. It worked well in battle, which was where she kept most of her cool. Ryuu is confident, but not cocky, strong-willed, and brave. She loves to take risks and dares anyone to compete against her in her devilish ways. Ryuu is a lover of competition with a passion for battling, fighting, and new challenges. Unlike others, Ryuu is independent, solitary, and distant, which is why she tends to keep to herself. She rarely speaks and when she does, only choice words are heard, whether it be good or bad. Ryuu rarely, or never, shows her true emotions to anyone, except her Zoid. She tends to show off as the outsider who is asocial and apathetic with great mystery, and that's how she is.

From a young age till now, Ryuu had to rely on herself and her Zoid, never on anyone else. She never asked anyone for anything and if she had done something for someone, she never asked for anything in return. It was how she was. She started with nothing and ended up with everything she needed, a confidante, a friend, and someone who would look after her, her Zoid.

The Black Phantom, on the other hand, is the not entirely the total opposite of Ryuu. She despises the rich and cares for the poor. Giving and never taking, Black Phantom helps those who need it. She has a cool wit and a smooth talk to match it. She's quick on her feet, stealthy, lithe, and nimble, much like an acrobat. A difference between her alter ego, Ryuu, and Black Phantom is that Black Phantom is more outwardly friendly to the world, whereas Ryuu is not. She also has witty comments and is known to have a comments that bite back. Black Phantom appears one moment and vanishes the next. She is never seen twice in an area, unless an urgent need is called upon. She never steals from the poor, but takes things that the rich do not necessarily need. Much like Ryuu, Black Phantom will not start fights. She is passive above all things, but if it came up, she would always end the fight.

No one has ever known Ryuu to be Black Phantom, nor ever suspected it and it would stay that way till her death. Ryuu merely took the Black Phantom because her father was the Black Phantom and she knew it well. He was the exact opposite of her and always piloted an ethereal, yet opaque , for speed and maneuvirability. It was he who inspired her to take this name and put it to good use, as her father had. It was up to her to make sure her father's spirit stood high in the sky and his name was never disgraced, nor was her family's name.

[B]Biography/Personal History:[/B] After her father's death, Ryuu tried so hard to forget her painful past. But it still followed her, wherever she had went. It painted her just to remember, but to keep her sane, she needed a piece of memory. That piece of memory was the title "Black Phantom",

Ryuu lived in the present and knew that the past was past, but she always honored her family and what they had done for her. And yet, she refuses to let the past horrors and pain torment her mind. She refuses to let it consume her and take her soul.

Z.B.C Registration Number: [/B]ZRN-19834-AC

[B]Biography/Personal History:[/B] Sutaru was born with his dad being a famous Zoid Pilot known as "Takenshi Niwa and The North Star". He was born expected to be a famous zoid pilot because of his reputation and at first he actually hated to practice using Zoids. When he was five he got a zoid pilot suit and his father was reading him tons of books on how to be a pilot and how to use a Zoid. When Sutaru turned six his dad felt Sutaru wasn't listening to anything he was saying, and he gave up on teaching him.

Thats when Sutaru went to school like any other kid would but he was a dork at the school and was teased and bullied for that. Sutaru was reading any book that he could get his hands and thats when he came upon a book about his father. When he read it he found out how good Zoids were and how good they were. He also found out what a man his father was and thats when he said from here on I will practice to become an Ziods pilot. (Thats how he thought it was spelled.). When he came home he told his father about this and thats where he got his intense training. He was transfered to a Zoids academy to learn even more.

When Sutaru was twelve he was in the seventh grade he was a grade a student for the zoids catagory. But thats when a zoids war was in the process and his father was needed. Sutaru promised to take care of his family while his father was gone and his never came back. Even after the war, and he was pronounced dead four years later. His body was hard to find and when Sutaru was home morning his fathers death there were multiple thumps.

That was " The North Star " on auto pilot and it was sent here for Sutaru to take. When it got there a star came out of it which was what powered it up and made it run. Thats when he decided to become an official Zoids pilot and follow his official pilot. It has been eight years since then (he is twenty two) and he heard about a compettition. He thought this was an good opportunity to get some practice and get better at piloting so he joined.

[b][u]Character[/b][/u]

[b]Name[/b]: Aaron Marsee

[b]Gender[/b]: male

[b]Age[/b]: 23

[b]Appearance[/b]: Standing at about 5'11'', Aaron weighs 180 lbs. most of it being muscle. He has shaggy, Orangish red hair that curls when is isn't covers in hair glue. He has light blue eyes that sometimes appear green and a blue arrow that points down under his left eye. He wears a long sleeved black shirt with a dark green hooded sweatshirt vest over it. The sweat shirt has large Z on the back in blue. He has two brown belts that criss cross over one another where he holds various items. He then wears baggy dark green pants and black boots. Around his neck in a silver chain with a silver cross attached. Also, he has black knuckle cut gloves. On the back of his belts is a knife (like Van's only it has an Imperial Symbol instead of Republic.)

[b]Personality[/b]: A nice person, Aaron is very laid back and a free spirit which he won't allow to be broken. Aaron has a very good sense of humor and enjoys playing jokes and sometimes tricks on people, he can be very silly and usually gets along with everyone. He does have a few pet peeves about people, like annoying ones mostly. He doesn't like it when someone is constantly talking about a stupid subject and goes on and on and on about it, he also dislikes people who think of themselves higher than others. He highly dislikes bullies and will defend anyone who needs it.

Aaron enjoys piloting all zoid just for the heck of it, but makes his money from battling. He can sometimes become very visious in battle as if he has been taken over by some odd force, but this doesn't usually happen and he usually pilots with control over himself. He is confidant in his abilities, but always checks himself to make sure he isn't getting cocky, from former experience he knows what can happen if you're too cocky. Even during a rough battle he can't help but crack a joke every now and then.

Aaron is very close to his father, though he hasn't been home in over a year. He still talks on the phone and sends money he makes so his father can expand the repair shop he owns.



[b]Pilot Ranking[/b]:

[b]Z.B.C Registration Number[/b]: ZRN-27722-AC

[b]Biography/Personal History[/b]: Aaron's mother died giving birth to him, so he grew up on the road with his zoid piloting father. Aaron's father was a religious man who always believed that zoids were created by god and were to be partners for the people on planet Zi. Aaron's mother was also a zoid pilot before she passed away, she was also a strong pilot. She piloted a zoid called the Konig Wolf, a one of a kind zoid, there was no other one like it. Aaron's father would tell him that she had found the Konig Wolf in a valley where some of the strongest zoids (that were still wild) lived. She was stranded and claimed that the Konig Wolf fell from the sky and saved her from a certain death.
Sense her death, the Konig Wolf had been locked up a single garage where no one had piloted sense her death.

Aaron's father taught him everything he knew about piloting, but would never allow him to have his own zoid. When Aaron was 14, his father was in a battle with his team against another the sun was high in the sky and it was difficult to see. Aaron's father aimed his Command Wolf's gun at the left shoulder of an enemy Slash Liger, as he pulled the trigger he was hit in the side and the Command Wold tilted, sending the bullet at the cock pit of the Liger and seriously injuring the pilot so that he could no longer pilot.
Aaron's father felt so horrible about the incident that he quite battling and became a zoids repairman instead. He still piloted zoids, but took all the weaponry off his Command Wolf.

Aaron was crushed that his father didn't battle anymore and thought that maybe he wouldn't get to either. He started taking martial arts as a hobby, but he always longed to feel the mechanical noise of a zoid churning under him as he sat in a cock-pit. Sometimes we he couldn't sleep at night he would sneek into the Command Wolf and sleep there.

About a year after his father quit, bandits broke into their house wanting to steal zoid parts, after they had stoled some stuff they planned on blowing up the house with Aaron and his father inside. The old Command Wolf with no weapons was useless, so Aaron did what any 15 year old boy would do. He ran into the garage that held the Konig Wolf and jumped inside of it. It was dusty and the controls looked so old that Aaron thought for a moment that it wouldn't work, but the Konig Wolf was still alive and Aaron charged the bandits before they could fire, the the Konig Wolf also had no weapons, it was fast, only using the allowed claws and teeth, Aaron managed to defeat the two bandits.

Aaron's father was happy with Aaron's skill and allowed him to keep the Konig Wolf and fight as he wanted.
After getting his registration number Aaron started to modify the Wolf and give it weapons, he joined and quit many teams, becoming a worthy pilot and learning all their stradegies and different piloting style. Over the years he has become one of the top pilots, and was very happy when he was invited to the Z.S.S.
(I hope it's ok that I tied our fathers together in a way, Ohkami.)
