The War of the Three

Done and done. I nerfed Zak and posted him. I'm currently reading forward from Hohenheim's invite. Unless someone wants to give me the "Story thus far" I'll try to read it all and get a post up as soon as I can.

The War of the Three

Zak

◥Zak Wilder◤

_{"Insanity is just a step ahead of genius"}


Name - Zachariah 'Zak' Wilder A.K.A "oh god no"
Title - The Arcane Fool
Age - No more than a couple thousand years
Gender - Male
Allegiance - Heaven (loosely)
Race - Angel
Height - 6'3"
Weight - *blushes*

Personality - Random but carefully planned, crazy but rarely violent, helpful but not dependable, and smooth yet ever-so-clumsy.
Zak appears to most as a rash and incorrigible idiot. Outwardly, one could assume he's crazy and acts without thinking. Though one might understand him to be impulsive, neurotic, and at times childish due to the way in which he behaves, Zak always does things intentionally and with a set plan in mind. None of his clumsy or erratic actions are without purpose. Because of this, his ever-changing intentions are difficult to follow.

While Zak is generally agreeable in the aspect of being friendly, one can never be certain if he can be trusted. He has a jolly and mocking personality, speaking informally with most people as if they are close friends and often using nicknames. However he draws close to others mostly because he knows that he needs their help in order to accomplish his lavish goals. He will eventually come to help his allies, though his intentions are rarely altruistic. While steering away from getting directly involved in combat, he's very capable of defending himself and can become a dangerous threat if engaged on his own terms.

Though Zak is a meticulous planner, he never fails to show the anxiety on his face while carrying through with his plans. In spite of his hazardous habits, he's very aware of the danger that surrounds him. What he finds himself is some truly odd, and often life threatening situations. But his ability to survive and flourish in chaos tends to keep him relatively unscathed. Some might even say the safest place to be around him is probably inside of him. It's unclear at this point whether he follows disaster, or it follows him.

Lastly, and perhaps most characteristic of Zak Wilder, is his need to be entertained. Almost everything he does is with the intention to get the most interesting and personally beneficial outcome. No detail or circumstance goes unaccounted for in any situation he's gotten himself into, with some exceptions for the unexpected. Nothing fascinates him more then the call for fun and adventure, even if it means taking insane risks. That and the occasional shiny thing.

History - Only the eldest of celestial beings know of Zachariah's many antics throughout time. He's supposedly spread a rumor that Imperator Deva could grant wishes, rode the extremely reluctant Leviathan of the Lenuria ruins like a bull, 'accidentally' misplaced a thunder stone in the forges of heaven somewhere to unknown ends, 'borrowed' several legendary magical artifacts(he put most of them back), and the list goes on. In spite of his mixed history, there are a few that know of his tactical prowess, buried beneath the madness. They say he once brought a kingdom to ruin with one sentence.

Powers

Flight - Ascends on wings of fire.

Pyrokinetic Fury - Fire bends to Zak's will, allowing him to manipulate flames into various forms. Through this ability he can create flames from the air, spawn flame creatures with a limited lifespan, materialize flame weapons, or just turn the immediate battlefield into a wildfire.

Smoke Screen - Fills the immediate area with a thick, vision obstructing plume of black smoke to assist with tactical situations. The smoke has minimal toxic properties capable of disorienting opponents and causing irritation in the eyes, ears, nose, and throat. Has little to no effect on fully mechanical entities.

Matter Detonation - Zak can charge small, inanimate objects with pyrokinetic energy and detonate them at will. The resulting explosion scales with the size of the object detonated. He can only do this with objects big enough to fit in one hand, but something as small as a coin can create an explosion on par with a hand grenade.

Flames of Judgement - The fire Zak produces becomes white and gold Holy Fire instead, capable of burning through flesh and metal alike in moments. The flames burn with the brightness and fury of heaven, empowering his other fire based abilities. These flames can't hurt the innocent or pure of heart.

Flame Emperor - “There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” Zak becomes the embodiment of the inferno, changing his physical form into ethereal flames that burn with the heat of arcane holy fire. In this form, Zak is no longer himself, but an archangel of flaming vengeance, losing his cunning and composure in place of rage and brute force. Zak never willingly enters this state. It instead is triggered and fueled by sorrow and hatred.

Weapons

The best weapon Zak has in his arsenal is his environment, with the occasional addition of a blade or projectile he creates from fire.
Bindlebane – An extremely versatile weapon. It’s a sniper rifle, revolver, and cane sword all in one. Acquired during the War of Arcadia

Equipment

Nothing...
As much as Zak would love to tinker around with broken scraps of tech to make one time use toys, gadgets, conventional weaponry and distractions, he has been directly forbidden by the gods to do such things. No doubt another attribute of his disastrous personality and eccentric habits. They say his haphazard inventions could ruin the universe. 'They' being mostly him.

_{Bionically Engineered Autonomous Symbiotic Technology}

Aliases/Titles - Beast, Cybernetic Demon, Sentinel
Appearance - This creature appears to be a combination of machine and war beasts, sporting dense, metal armor covering an animal like form. Though it tends to change its shape to adapt to the environment or situation, it maintains the same general qualities.
Age - Unknown
Gender - N/A
Species - Machine Demon Hybrid
Faction - (Obtained From Host)
Height - Predator Mode: 7'10". Stallion Mode: 5'6".(9ft from head to tail) Kaiser Mode 8'2".(15ft from head to tail) Nautilus Mode 6'3"(17ft from head to tail)
Weight - Predator Mode: 290 lbs. Stallion Mode: 370 lbs. Kaiser Mode 525 lbs. Nautilus Mode 465 lbs.
Equipment - N/A

Physiology - One of a specific, ancient and rare species of demon which was captured in mass, artificially engineered, genetically modified, grown, programmed, and outfitted to be machines of war. Finely segmented plates of depleted promethium armor cover a body made of a transmutable muscle-like memory metal. Its body is capable of consuming and converting metal, sunlight, electricity, fire, and life force into matter and energy to help mend damage, restore power, and increase abilities through a cycle of demonic corruption and cybernetic repair. When heavily damaged, it can enter a high speed repair mode, restoring its physical form in hours but rendering it offline for days, or weeks depending on the amount of damage. At the center of this creature, instead of a beating heart, there is an Energy Core capable of storing massive amounts of power. This allows it to go for long periods without an energy source to feed on as well as stores power for specific situations. If compromised, the core can become volatile and explode, equating to a small nuke.

Psychology - A combination of genetic programing and instinct drive Beast's train of thought and mental capacity. It symbiotically imprints on a single living sentient entity with a positive life force and from that point forward becomes unhesitatingly loyal to the point of self sacrifice toward that individual. In exchange, an occasional supply of life force is needed to continue long term functionality. Specific actions and attacks are carried out via vocal commands and voice recognition, which develops over time the more the host language is monitored. Along with these ingrained traits, Beast itself, due to a few flaws and quirks in its programming from decades of floating across the Nexus, can tend to stray from a typically mechanical personality. This causes occasional acts of spontaneous behavior or unexpected actions.

Abilities

Adaptive Combat Modes
Predator Mode - Standard operating mode. Best suited for reconnaissance and general combat. Is decently fast and durable.
Stallion Mode - Best suited of utility and ground travel. Stallion mode changes Beast into a more speed and stamina oriented form. Requires minimal matter absorption.
Kaiser Mode - Best suited for aerial combat and transportation. Kaiser mode transitions Beast into a flight capable form with incendiary abilities. Requires moderate matter absorption.
Nautilus Mode - Best suited for combat, transport, and reconnaissance all based in an oceanic environment. Beast is reconfigured with advanced sonar systems, pressure compensation, and hydraulic jet propulsion for high speed high defense aquatic superiority operations. Requires moderate matter absorption.

Combat Capabilities
Techflies - Beast releases a swarm of robotic flies from canisters on its back. Each fly is equipped with mini photon lasers and small volatile energy cores for self detonating. Beast's swarm supply is replenished after a short period of time.
Nanite Defense cloud - A cloud of microscopic nano-machines are released into the air from ports on Beast's body, forming a cloud around it and near by allies to protect from most forms of attack by absorbing impacts and energy before dissipating after several seconds.
Nanite Acid Spray - Beast spits a gooey spray composed of a glue like liquid and a swarm of microscopic nano-machines which breaks down and dissolves most solid matter on contact.
Edge Shredder - Blades emerge from Beast's body as it curls into a wheel and rolls at high speeds towards a target. Though low on accuracy, this attack does significant damage to flesh, metal, and terrain alike.
Cloaking Matrix - Causes Beast's body to absorb and bend light, allowing it to blend in with most surroundings, leaving only a slight optical shimmer in its place.
Boost Breaker -(Stallion Mode) Additional Plates and spikes appear across the front of Beast's body and small engines emerge from its hind legs, allowing for destructive stampedes.
Sonic Acceleration Drive -(Stallion Mode) Beast's body becomes more streamline and jet like engines emerge on its sides, allowing for high speed mobility, though can be hard to stop.
Fission Cannon -(Kaiser Mode) After a short charging period, Beast fires a geyser nuclear flames.
Cluster Barrage -(Kaiser Mode) A spread of 20 rockets, each loaded with a cluster of 20 small grenades, are rained down onto lower altitude or ground targets, splitting apart just before impact to deliver a wide spread of shrapnel filled explosions.
Vortex Manipulator Torpedoes -(Nautilus Mode) Guided torpedoes which cause massive fluxes in gravity, pressure, and water current in an immediate area for several seconds upon detonation with a crushing power of just over 15,000 psi.
Ballista Hunter Missiles -(Nautilus Mode) Surface to air missiles equipped to breach the waters surface at mach speeds and penetrate heavily armored targets before releasing a massive explosive payload.
Electromagnetic Defense System -(Nautilus Mode) Fires a powerful electromagnetic pulse, disabling or severely damaging electronic equipment in a radius around Beast.

The Guardian Matrix
Requires a fraction of the host's life force as well as a mental bond developed over time and trust from the host. When Active, Beast combines with its host and takes the form of a bio-mech suit, gaining new abilities and giving the host synaptic control. Life force continues to drain at a slow rate as long as Guardian Matrix remains active, and will automatically deactivate to prevent fatally draining the host.

Guardian Matrix Arachnid
HUD - Projects a map of the surrounding area extending for 200 meters into the hosts eyes. The map updates in real time, revealing terrain features and surface movement. Temperature, elevation, time, wind velocity, and several other readings are also available in the HUD, which can also be mentally commanded to minimize to prevent obstruction of vision.
Compound Vision - When active, will grant infrared, ultraviolet, and night vision. Can also detect distortions in light on a microscopic level, zoom in and telescope, track movement, and predict actions based on muscle contractions.
Techmites - The Host can produce up to 10 quadrupedal, autonomous, quick moving drones armed with rapid fire photon lasers, a super sticky ooze used for slowing down and immobilizing targets, and volatile energy cores with a detonation velocity of over 5000 meters per second, similar to a grenade.
Dual Photon Sabers - Two photon blades capable of cutting through almost any solid are equipped to the host. The blades can be charged with photon energy to add more power to the impact of an attack.
Dual Spitfire Machine Guns - A pair of automated arms brandish rapid fire machine guns loaded with regenerating 15mm hollow-point rounds and equipped with auto targeting systems that link into the Host's HUD.
Dynamic Mobility - Beast's Arachnid form grants its hosts ability to move with increased agility, jump greater distances, and scale vertical surfaces or ceilings.

Guardian Matrix Scorpius
HUD - Projects a map of the surrounding area extending for 200 meters into the hosts eyes. The map updates in real time, revealing terrain features and surface movement. Temperature, elevation, time, wind velocity, and several other reading are also available in the HUD, which can also be mentally commanded to minimize to prevent obstruction of vision.
Plasma Coils - At the tip of two tail like appendages are powerful arc guns capable of shooting bolts of white hot plasma and electricity with an output of over 50,000 Amps.
Photon Cleavers - A pair of extra reinforced limbs armed with massive photon pincers autonomously defend and attack for the host with a crushing force of about 5000 psi.
Dual Anti-Material Rifles - 2 High powered Rifles with 30 caliber rounds capable of piercing most of the thickest, hardest solids are bestowed to the Host. Each is armed with an auto targeting system that patches into the Host's HUD.
Reinforced Exoskeleton - At the cost of some mobility and speed, Scorpius form grants high durability and physical strength.

Overdrive Override!
With enough will power, the host can mentally synchronize with Beast and override its limit programming. Through harnessing all of Beast's stored energy, Guardian Matrix is supercharged, allowing it to reach its maximum potential for around 30 minutes, at the cost of rendering it offline and forcing it into repair mode afterward and exhausting the Host.

The War of the Three

And underperforming isn't so bad. If he gets himself killed well then it just means his luck has finally ran out. Not every character has to be strong. Some can just be fodder.

The War of the Three

@The 42nd GeckoI appreciate you fighting for my character but that's okay. :) I don't want to break any metas. I'll remove his habit for picking up and tinkering with shiny things found on the battlefield.

The War of the Three

Wow I'm liking miyu more and more. Well! Okay. I mainly added this to supplement his lack of strength compared to most other angels since there are many very powerful characters here with some crazy abilities. He fights more with his mind. But he doesn't need to be good in a fight I suppose. He can just be comic relief until beast can join the fray. He's got his rugged good looks to get him through in the meantime.

Alright! Sorry for the delay. I read as far as the The Battle of Ruthria and my eyes hurt. I decided to go ahead and make the second character and I'll just do like he would do and wing it.

The War of the Three

So then would it be a problem that beast uses a host as a power source instead of the High Queen? Also earlier you said you weren't too keen on factionless characters. Would it be a problem if a character changed factions? For example if control of my character is taken by an angel or a demon.
