16	* CerebusRetcon: RHG hasn't shied away from {{Gorn}}, but "Gildedguy & the Rock Hard Gladiator" plays this more dramatically, with the many deaths of RHG being incredibly haunting to Andre.
17	* EvolvingWeapon: In "Gildedguy & the Rock Hard Gladiator", Andre's hammer now can split apart and be telekinetically controlled, even allowing Andre to fly by riding it. This appears to be a result of using the hammer in conjunction with Gildedguy's Stellapen.
18	* LetThePastBurn: Due to his newly acquired hatred of the RHG system, he is seen attempting to destroy all of the remaining RHG colosseums, statues, and monuments, hoping to erase his shameful past and end the idolization of what was essentially a murder spectator sport.
19	* ShockAndAwe: His hammer can generate electricity.
20	* SurvivorGuilt: In "Gildedguy & the Rock Hard Gladiator", he is depicted as regretful of the many deaths caused by the Rock Hard Gladiators system that he had started.
21	* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:At the climax of "Gildedguy & the Rock Hard Gladiator", Andre crashes into the ground after an airborne fight with Gildedguy and Arzon, creating a mass of smoke on the impact. When the smoke clears up, Gildedguy and Arzon are unable to find Andre's body, but assuming that he has died, they plant Andre's hammer into the ground as a tribute to him.]]

30	-> '''Animator:''' Terkoiz
31	With an eluded name and a mysterious purpose, "FLLFFL", or "Alfa" seen through illusion, is arcane. He possesses a foundation of never killing his opponents, a moral code that gives him great control over his emotions. Appearing to be in his late-middle ages, he has always been known to be very dependent on his specialized sword. Although no one knows what it's exactly made of, his sword has always protected himself and destroyed others. No one really knows why he's here, speculations range from creating another legendary weapon to seeking someone who can defeat him.
32	----
33	* BreakoutCharacter: His immense popularity has pretty much made him the unofficial mascot of the RHG to the point that he's the first character that pops into anyone's mind whenever RHG is mentioned.
34	* CoolSword: His [[{{RocketPoweredWeapon}} jet-propelled]] [[{{KatanasAreJustBetter}} katana]].
35	* CurbStompBattle: Delivers one against Benman and Gel, who are the same person.

37	* HandicappedBadass: Loses one of his arms in the battle against Pulse, it doesn't hinder much of his fighting ability.
38	* TheHerosIdol: To Gildedguy, as seen in "Gildedguy & the Rock Hard Gladiator".
39	* KilledOffForReal: In part due to Terkoiz no longer animating [=RHGs=] and the almost nonexistence of continuity, FLLFFL has been killed at least ''thrice'', by [[spoiler: being stabbed by Umbrella]], [[spoiler: getting hit by a train in his fight against Mr. Pix]], and [[spoiler: being disintegrated by the French]]. However, a trailer for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIE-U3MiY5w fatal art]] depicts FLLFFL actually surviving his battle with [[spoiler: Umbrella]]... only to again, be later [[{{ShoottheShaggyDog}} instantly killed]] by [[spoiler: Yupia]].

87	-> '''Animator:''' oxob3000
88	Oxob used to be a rich stuntman that lived life to the fullest. One day he lost both his hands but since he was rich he can afford to buy mechanical replacements. Later on, these hands were upgraded, constructed in carbon steel and modified with power-concentrating ability. After these upgrades, Oxob was all out of money and turned into a poor guy with no belongings. Despite this, Oxob still tries to live each day with joy, and makes friends wherever he goes. But those who try to pick a fight with him leave with at least a broken nose.
89	----
90	* AppealToWorseProblems: Chastises Gildedguy for making a big deal out of the scars on his hands, which are seemingly less significant than Oxob's own. He remains unaware of the trauma associated with them, as GG used them to seal [[EldritchAbomination Bog]].
91	* ArtificialLimbs: After losing his hands in a helicopter accident, the government gives him enhanced prosthetic hands.
92	* BlueIsHeroic: An all-blue character who's on the side of justice.
93	* CerebusRetcon: * Downplayed. In "Oxob vs. Jade", Oxob seems to take his defeat mostly in stride and is open to working with Jade for Nemesis. In "Gildedguy vs. Oxob", his defeat is reframed as a trauma-inducing disaster. "Oxob: Origins" does a little work bridging the tonal gap by portraying Oxob as a more tragic character.
94	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Once a prosperous stuntman, he lost his hands and his friends in a helicopter explosion. Following that, he unwittingly becomes the government's guinea pig for nanomachine injections.
95	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes glow when he uses his electric powers.
96	* GroundPound: Can create a force field with it.
97	* LightningBruiser: Quite literally. Recent animations have given him some degree of super speed through hisimplants.
98	* {{Nanomachines}}: Had these involuntarily injected into him by the government. These grant him enhanced strength and intelligence.
99	* PerpetualFrowner: After his fight with Xenrath, he almost never smiles.
100	* PowerFist: His prosthetic hands allow him to attack with these.
101	* ShellShockedVeteran:
102	** The helicopter crash gave him a nasty case of PTSD, as he lost his hands and his stunt buddies in it. Making matters worse was that shortly after, he became the government's guinea pig for nanomachine injections.
103	** It happens again following his disastrous battle against Jade. He lost his will to fight after his loss, and it gave him pyrophobia. Gildedguy accidentally setting Oxob's bandages on fire triggers the fight between them.
104	* SoleSurvivor: Of a helicopter explosion that made him lose his arms and stunt buddies.
105	* ShockAndAwe: Has electric powers, which are often incorporated into his punches.
106	* TraumaCongaLine: A helicopter crash into being a part of a government experiment into having his legs crushed by collapsing concrete into his prosthetics being blown up by Jade.
107	* TsurimeEyes: His eyes are slanted and pointy, a la ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.
108	* UsedToBeMoreSocial: Prior to having his legs crushed in his fight against Xenrath, he was incredibly chipper. In his fights against Jade and Gildedguy however, he has a signficantly less happy dispositon.
109	* YellowLightningBlueLightning: The blue lightning to [[spoiler: Gildedguy's yellow lightning]].

117	-> '''Animator:''' Geo
118	A computer program designed to gather knowledge and return it to a source, similar to a Google Spider. He has lost an integral part of his programming, the location of his source, and can do nothing but gather information about everything he senses. His quickest method of obtaining information is through the sense of touch, and once he grabs a hold of an object to absorb it, he cannot consciously abort the action. He cannot speak, but can emulate sounds, a la an 8-bit sound driver.

132	-> '''Animator:''' Kidkei
133	Fox was part of an international space program who auctioned planets on the black market after wiping out their inhabitants. One mission they went to this planet called "Que", known for its ferocious creatures. As the team progressed into the planet's depths, they were wiped out by an ambush of black creatures and Fox barely escaped with his life. Stranded and slowly dying, Fox managed to live for a while until one day he came across another black creature. Unlike the others, this one helped him live and they soon became friends soon after. He returned to Earth with 'Q' (or so he named the creature) and joined a fight club since he's no longer eligible for his former job. In one match he was close to losing, so Q stepped in which disqualified Fox for cheating. That was where he was invited to join Zetabrand and the RHG system.
134	----
135	* FlashStep: Fox can perform this from Que's toxic atmosphere mutating his cells.
136	* HeroicHost: Fox serves as one for Q
137	* LivingWeapon: Q serves as this and EquippableAlly for Fox.
138	* TheSymbiote: Q, although he can exit Fox's body and fight on his own.

146	-> '''Animator:''' Supranova
147	Styr was walking through the woods far from home when he was a young boy. He was lost, helpless, and alone, trying to find food and shelter in a territory that he did not know. He had given up hope of returning home, where his abusive parents had left him on the side of the street to starve. In the deepest corner of the woods, Styr came upon a large spear, one left behind by the native people in that area. Styr, overcome by curiosity, picks up the spear, examines it briefly, and moves on thinking little of what he had just seen. As he is walking away, he hears a whooshing sound coming from where he had just been. The now airborne spear slices through the air toward him, cutting his right cheek to leave a pertinent scar, the scar of ownership. Styr, realizing the power of this tool, uses it to hunt and hone his skills to become a master of this unique weapon.
148	----
149	* SummonToHand: His spear can magically fly back to his hand and can even piece itself back together when broken.

153	[[folder:Indestructible Dave]]
154	-> '''Animator:''' [=PlaguedSoul=]
155	Dave is a rather famous person, people like to make movies about him. Although he likes to think of himself as your average Joe, he cannot be one. He is unsure when he found out about his powers or when he developed them. He does not have eyes, and he isn't sure why he can still see like he would if he did but just a strange symbol is there. Almost like he sees from the symbol.
156
157	People seem to think Dave is a criminal, but he only uses his "powers" for good. After a recent exploration of ancient ruins, Dave found a decrepit prison which showed the same symbol on the wall as the symbol for his eye. He began to follow through the prison and came to a room, where there were two skeletons on the ground that wore clothing from the early fifties.
158
159	They looked to be explorers, and it seemed they died in that room from something unspeakable... could it have been Dave?
160
161	He found one of the skeletons to have a holster and a backpack on, and the other a sheath to a sword. Dave warped in his weapons and they both fit into each casing; he warped his weapons out and looked into the bag. The bag contained a book of magic, with once again the same symbol on his head in there. He set down the book and looked to the pedestal in the center of the room to see that it looked to have once held a human figure, "Could this have been my prison?" Dave said. He got up and lay on it and it fit him perfect, but suddenly the room started to shake and on the ceiling the same body form was there. Dave realized this fast and quickly rolled off the pedestal to land on the ground; he didn't want to be imprisoned again. The room still shook and as he saw the door start to slowly close, Dave quickly grabbed the book and dove through the door. And now you know what he is so far.

350	* SpeedEchoes: An integral part of his fighting style, Loxias can leave behind two different kinds of afterimages after a flash step. White afterimages are intangible and serve to distract the opponent's concentration while red afterimages move on their own, which can be hit to inflict fatigue on Loxias.

381	Formerly an ordinary person, he got killed by a bolt of lightning. After three days he was brought back to life, this time with superpowers. He has always dreamed of joining the famous Zetabrand clan and as of March 5, he just did it.
382	----
383	* AscendedFanboy: He was a big fan of Nhazul and Tentionmaru, later becomes part of the official Zetabrand member.
384	* DanceBattler: Famous for his sync battle style
385	* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Meta-wise, originally another Zetabrand knock-off but eventually his animator grew his own talent at making music-synced animations and collaborations.
386	* FlyingWeapon: Wields floating shurikens.
387	* MeaningfulName: Wields a shuriken.
388	* MickeyMousing: His animator's later works feature this.
389	* PutOnABus: As [=Shuriken255=] has ceased animating, he has not had any major appearances since "The Imitator 2".
390	* ScarfOfAsskicking: It's blue.

401	[[folder:Bog]]
402	[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bog_5.png]]
403	->'''Animator''': [=ACBeam=]
404	Bog is a mysterious entity and it isn't clear what motives he has in mind to pursue. Little is known of Bog and so it is hard to predict what he will do in order to kill. Bog is usually neutral but if he begins to get hungry he and his blood will search for living things to eat and will not be swayed or stopped so easily.
405	---
406	* AcidAttack: His blood is acidic, and he loves to use it as a weapon.
407	* AdaptationalAbomination: Granted, he's an abomination by default, but the simplified artstyle of most stick figure animations rendered him as a relatively normal, if unnerving figure. "Gildedguy vs. Bog" turns him into a BlobMonster with BlackEyesOfEvil who only vaguely resembles a stick figure, thanks to Michael's more detailed art style.
408	** However, it's worth mentioning that during the fight's [[spoiler: BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind]] segment, he more closely resembles how other artists draw him.
409	* AxCrazy: Seems to take absolute glee in harming others.
410	* BlobMonster: Portrayals shift between depicting Bog as a fluid, amorphous mass and a more traditional stick figure.
411	* BodySnatcher: Takes control of Yupia's body during their tag team battle against Syn and Hue after she sustains major damage, but not before giving her a heaping helping of MindRape.
412	* BloodyMurder: Bog can control his blood's properties, changing how corrosive it is, and its viscosity.
413	* CheshireCatGrin: Often seen sporting one of these.
414	* CombatSadomasochist: Often grins when being attacked, likely because of the futility of it all given his healing abilities. The only times where he doesn't smile are twice during "Gildedguy vs. Bog"; first when he's getting attacked by a [[KillItWithFire flaming sword]], and later during [[spoiler: the BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind, where he finally begins to lose]].
415	* EldritchAbomination
416	* HealingFactor: Can regenerate so long as some of him remains.
417	* HumanoidAbomination: A vaguely humanoid... ''thing'' with an insatiable bloodlust, acidic blood, and the ability to control his opponents, both [[BodySnatcher physically]] and [[MindRape mentally]].
418	* ImAHumanitarian: Seems to have a habit of eating his opponents.
419	* KillItWithFire: Fire melts the sludge on his body. After igniting his sword, Gildedguy cut through him like butter.
420	* KnightOfCerebus: His fight with Gildedguy marks a turning point in animations featuring the latter, as they became darker and more story-focused.
421	* LightningBruiser: Fast, hard-hitting, and makes up for his less-than-durable body with his HealingFactor.
422	* ManBitesMan: Sometimes chomps on his opponents, a habit which is likely linked to his ImAHumanitarian status.
423	* MindRape: Pulls this in order to take control of opponents.
424	* MysteriousPast
425	* ShapeshifterGuiltTrip: Briefly shapeshifts into an impersonation of Jade to confuse and disorient Gildedguy.
426	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: As a result of his slime-like properties.
427	* WithFriendsLikeThese: How does he assist his partner Yupia during their tag team match against Syn and Hue? By [[MindRape mind-raping]] her and [[BodySnatcher taking control of her body]] once she's been sufficiently roughed up.

432	!![=Dojo=] Duelists
433	[[folder:Yupia]]
434	->'''Animator:''' X
435	Yupia comes from a rich, higher class family of biological scientists and she had been the target of multiple experiments since childhood, due to the experiments she has lost her eyes, but all of her other senses had exceeded the norm.
436	Because of her family's greed she is disgraced by the state of human nature, and wishes to rise above humanity. She has been seeking power since her early ages to make up for her lack of sight, and to quench her thirst for power she wishes to use the worlds knowledge against it.
437	* AbusiveParents: Implied, given that her father has treated her like his guinea pig since childhood.
438	* AlienBlood: She bleeds pink.
439	* AttackAttackAttack: Her strategy, which forgoes defensive tactics for maximum attack power.
440	* {{BFS}}: Later uses a giant blade similar to the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Buster Sword]].
441	* BlackEyesOfEvil: Her eyes, normally hidden by her visor, have black sclera.
442	* BlindWeaponmaster: Her lack of eyesight has not stopped her from being an incredibly competent swordmaster.
443	* BloodKnight: Enjoys fighting and cutting up people a bit too much.
444	* BrokenBird: Turned out the way she did because of the many horrific experiments she was subject to as a child.
445	* {{Cyborg}}: A result of the many experiments conducted on her.
446	* EscapedFromTheLab: Heavily implied.
447	* ExpressiveMask: Her visor serves as one. Her emotions are usually expressed in the form of the shape and color of the waves on it (i.e. red, sharp waves indicate distress), though the visor has displayed eyes on at least one occasion.
448	* EyeBeams: A variation in which her head can open up to shoot a giant laser.
449	* FreudianExcuse: She hates humans because her father experimented on her as a child.
450	* {{Jerkass}}: She's pretty bitter and condescending to her opponents, further supported by her dialogue in the fighting game ''Fatal Art'':
451	---> "Don't take it personally. You're simply outclassed."
452	* KillAllHumans: Heavily implied to be her end goal.
453	* LightIsNotGood: Her body is white and she wears light pink accessories, and she's a ruthless swordswoman who seeks to erase humanity.
454	* MindRape: [[spoiler: Gets this pulled on her by Bog so he can [[BodySnatcher control her.]]]]
455	* OneWayVisor: It serves to hide her freakish eyes and as an ExpressiveMask.
456	* PutOnABus: Her animator, X, got banned from Hyun's Dojo. As such, she did not have any major appearances for a while.
457	** TheBusCameBack: X has confirmed that "YUPIA vs. Gildedguy" is in production, marking her first major duel since X originally got banned from the Dojo.
458	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: A slight variation. Some material spells her name normally, while others write it like an acronym (Y.U.P.I.A.).
459	[[/folder]]
460	[[folder:One]]
461	->'''Animator: Hyun'''
462	One travels the lands of Cier in search of his little brother he lost years ago due to the war of Aether and Blackwatch. He tends to stay away from confrontations unless he needs information in which he will do everything in his power to obtain it. Spending most of his life as a Blackwatch slave and surviving the onslaught of Blackwatch soldiers/assassins sent to kill him after his escape, One has grown an intense hatred towards the faction and other governments in power. Not only does he seek unhealthy revenge upon people overtaken by greed and political power, he strives to become stronger and compete in the new Dojo Duels to find more information about his brother.
463	* AscendedExtra: Initially featured as a throwaway character in an unrelated animation by Hyun, One was then adapted to be a Dojo Duelist.
464	* CoolSword: It can be thrown like a boomerang and has an acid edge.
465	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lost his brother, POW, etc...
466	* ShellShockedVeteran: His demo and first duel show that he suffers from PTSD.
467	* LightningBruiser: Swift and powerful.
468	* LongLostRelative: Yoyo.
469	* IWillFindYou: From his character bio.
470	* NameMeaningChange: Originally, the title of the first animation with One, "One vs. Many", was a straightforward description of... well, one stick figure vs. many. When Hyun adopted the protagonist as his duelist, One became the fighter's actual name, with the in-lore reason being he was stamped as prisoner #001 by his Blackwatch captors.
471	[[/folder]]
472
473	[[folder:Gildedguy]]
474	-> '''Animator:''' Gildedguy
475	A knight, former slush fighter, and retired painter living on the outskirts of what seems to be a large plain next to a mountain. Wielding an extending sword and decked in armor almost 24/7, he's prepared to deal with whatever the world throws at him.
476	As of "Gildedguy vs. Oxob", he's gotten over his trauma induced from his fight with Bog and has returned to dueling; however, he's lost the Stella-Pen.
477	----
478	* ArcSymbol: The Stellapent, the five-pointed green star. It's connected to the pen he carries around [[spoiler: and possibly Gildedguy himself]].
479	* AscendedFanboy: "Gildedguy & the Rock Hard Gladiator" shows that he's a big fan of Andre, likely in part due to his fights. Moments later, he ends up fighting Andre himself.
480	* ArmorOfInvincibility: His armor is very hard to crack. [[CastFromMoney However, it costs a lot to maintain.]]
481	* ArtShift: Due to the animator's preference, fights including him tend to lean more towards more detailed traditional animation.
482	* AstralProjection: [[spoiler: Has a mental one that takes the form of his armor during his fight with Bog, and again during "Gildedguy and the Green-Eyed Cowboy".]]
483	* BadassAdorable: He looks like a cutesy toy knight, and has been known to defeat opponents who are much stronger than he is.
484	* BadassCape: As part of his knightly design.
485	* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler: Ends his fight with Bog by letting him into his body and trapping him in his subconscious.]]
486	* BetaOutfit: Has one in the origin episode ''Gildedguy Gets Up''. It starts off as just the standard gray painter's outfit of his workplace with the tattered remains of a moneybag as his cape, but it's later painted gold.
487	* {{BFS}}: [[InvokedTrope Invoked.]] His blade can grow from about the length of a katana to several ''hundred'' meters long depending on the circumstance. It's also pretty flexible, allowing him to attack in multiple directions simultaneously. [[spoiler: ''Gildedguy Gets Up'' reveals it used to be an ordinary sword that he altered with his magical paint.]]
488	* ButtMonkey: Whenever he's not kicking ass, the universe loves to give him the middle finger. To date, he's been publicly humiliated at an art gallery, chased by no less than five veteran gladiators, hunted by [[EldritchAbomination Bog]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking was forced to watch bacon being burnt in front of him]].
489	* CastFromMoney: His armor requires coins to repair it, partially explaining his poverty.
490	* DeliberateInjuryGambit: [[spoiler: Cuts himself to trick Bog into entering his body, then lets his AstralProjection do the rest.]]
491	* {{Determinator}}: Beats opponents who are much stronger than him often with just his sheer determination and wits.
492	* EnemyWithin: [[spoiler: Bog is still around in his brain, after all. The Green-Eyed Cowboy ''might'' be this, or just Gilded's envy made manifest.]]
493	* GeniusBruiser: GG often wins by getting his opponents off guard long enough to land a solid hit, or using creative tactics rather than sheer force.
494	** In "Gildedguy vs Bog". How do you deal with a mind-controlling monster that heals back up when slashed, and has snuffed out the only fire nearby so he can't be burned? [[spoiler:Intentionally wound yourself and let him attempt a takeover, [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind repelling him with your willpower instead]]]].
495	** "Gildedguy vs Jade" has him facing her unarmed in her castle. His winning tactic is to [[spoiler:start TrashingTheSet and attacking the other guests, distracting her long enough for him to get his sword back and turn the fight around. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard It comes back to bite him in the ass when he's kicked out of the party, then chased down by the guests]]]].
496	** One of the turning points of "Gildedguy vs Oxob" has Gildedguy learn that Oxob's electricity gets conducted by his weapons, and turns that against him by [[spoiler:[[WoundedGazelleGambit tying Oxob up with the Stella-Pen to bait him into trying to electrocute him again]], then throwing his tied-up cape to the thunderstruck skies as an ImprovisedLightningRod to shock Oxob back]]. And the climax of the fight [[spoiler:draws on the same understanding: knowing that his armor redirects Oxob's electricity harmlessly into the ground, he retrieves his gauntlets from his backpack instead of his sword so that he can NoSell his electrical punches]].
497	** Early in "Gildedguy & the Rock Hard Gladiator", a mock fight between him and Arzon reveals that his armor has a weird property of focusing Arzon's wind into high pressure blasts when filtered through his chestpiece's armholes. [[spoiler:[[ChekhovsGun This becomes relevant at the climax of the fight with Andre]], where he improvises a flying device in the style of FLLFFL's jet-sword by strapping his armor around his own sword and climbing onto it with Arzon.]]
498	* GreenEyedMonster: Struggles with this hard during "Gildedguy and the Green-Eyed Cowboy", as he's constantly exposed to people who have what he wants, be it wealth or love. This gives rise to the titular cowboy, who is a representation of his envy. Bonus points for having actual green eyes.
499	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: While the animator ''says'' that Gilded is just a normal person under the armor, [[spoiler: the presence of the Green-Eyed Cowboy, his AstralProjection, and apparent connection with the green star seem to imply otherwise.]]
500	** As of ''Gildedguy Gets Up'', [[spoiler: this trope may be {{Averted}} altogether. Despite working with the same paint as everyone else, Gilded somehow manifests the ability to utilize ThePowerOfCreation. He's ''also'' the only person able to see the Stellapent.]]
501	* MorphWeapon: His sword can extend to massive lengths when he swings it, allowing him to attack from mid-range. A prominent move he does is a SpinAttack that sends the blade all over the place, surrounding him and attacking at all angles.
502	* ThePenIsMightier: Carries the Stella-Pen, a mysterious green crystal in the shape of a pen. It has a variety of uses, from acting as an actual drawing tool to repairing his armor to ensnaring foes in green threads. [[spoiler: ''Gildedguy Gets Up'' reveals it to be a chunk of dried paint that fell off his paintbrush.]]
503	* PrimaryColorChampion: Downplayed. He normally dons golden armor and a red cape, while his rarely-seen skin is a gray-blue.
504	* StarvingArtist: He's a former painter who's stuck in poverty. Justified, as his armor is CastFromMoney.

507	[[folder:Skid]]
508	->'''Animator: SoapyBubbles'''
509	Originating from Blackwatch, Skid’s heritage is one of pride; notorious for his family’s high ranks in the army and noted within Blackwatch’s legacy. His grandfather played a crucial role in the Aetherian war, and Skid’s own father is a well-respected general, anointed with the task of guarding Blackwatch’s rice preserve. To continue the family legacy, Skid was taught how to fight from a very young age. He was taught skills such as how to kill, as well as the essence of ruthlessness and apathy. Because of this, he learned to not get too emotional over anything. Skid himself is an expert at engineering, and his work with weapon design only reflects his talent as a prodigious inventor.
510
511	Despite his gifted skills with inventions and his experiences with combat, Skid’s imagination and plans put concern with his father and the rest of the army, cutting him short of being a soldier, let alone a respected one. Skid often utilizes the use of rice in his hypothetical blueprints, which were immediately discarded by his father and other Blackwatch inventors, for it was not their way of life. However, he continues to imagine the potentials of rice, not caring what others thought of his designs. Eventually, his daydreams were so strong that his father forced him to take up a different hobby, and Skid chose skateboarding, eventually using this skateboarding skill alongside his combat training, which furthermore progressed into having made his own hoverboard. While boarding one day, Skid recollects his past daydreams, causing him to believe that rice was the best option for fuel-efficiency instead of Blackwatch's bulky chunks of coal. Therefore, he remodeled his board, this time, with an Aetherian core found from a fallen ship. At last, he was finally satisfied, but others were not. They threatened to take away the board, and Skid himself. In a fit of rage, he left Blackwatch, wandering Cier in order to rise to power.
512	---------------------

514	* GadgeteerGenius: Skid himself is an expert at engineering, and his work with weapon design only reflects his talent as a prodigious inventor.

518	[[folder:Chronos]]
519	->'''Animator: Jomm'''
520	Chronos is a first class hitman. Extremely selective of his targets, he specifically goes after people in possession of Cier's empowered Rice. His goal is to collect enough Rice to supercharge his abilities so he can go back in time to stop the crisis which he inadvertently was responsible for. The event triggered a faction war and his home town was caught in the middle of it, losing everything. As time passes, Chronos needs more Rice to go back to the correct time. However, since Chronokinesis is a heavily taxing power, the more he uses it, the sooner he will die.
521	* TheCameo: Appears after One vs. Skid.
522	* OpaqueLenses: Wearing a crimson lens glasses
523	* ProfessionalKiller
