Hahahahaha! Hark! Who goes there? A rinky-dink, bogus, two-bit, no-mark troper, that's what! Well, let's not mince introductions. You stand right now in the indomitable presence of the mighty Zeke! Von! Genbu! Bringer of Chaos! Mostly known as Zeke. And often addressed as... THE ZEKENATOR! Crown Prince of Tantal! Hero of Alrest! Possessor of the Eye of Shining Justice! And wielder of the almighty... PURPLE! LIGHTNING! DREAMSMASHER!!!
You may have known of my exploits from my starring role in the hit video game Xenoblade Chronicles 2, in which I was the main character. Accompanied by my trusty Blade Pandoria and a bunch of sidekicks, I, the Zekenator, set off on a journey to fulfill the legacy of my ancestor Addam and save the Cloud Sea of Alrest from certain destruction! Along the way, my sidekicks and I would amass a veritable army of Blades, but none were as mighty as Pandoria herself and the unimaginable power she granted to her almighty wielder - ME!
And what better way to honour a legendary hero such as the Zekenator than an appearance in Super Smash Bros.? Of course, it was deemed that the incredible power of my Ultimate Lightning Fury Slash MAX was too great for the game to handle, and so I was relegated to watching in the background on Azurda's back with Pandy as Pyra and Mythra do all the fighting at my chum Rex's behest. But that won't stop the mighty Zeke von Genbu from returning for another round! Perhaps next generation, Nintendo will create a console capable of handling the combined force of my ULFS MAX colliding with Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch! But I wouldn't keep my hopes up. After all, no force in the universe can match the incredible destructive power of such an occasion.
ULTRA-ULTIMATE TROPERIFFIC ELECTROSTORM!!!
- Affectionate Nickname: Nia has a habit of calling me "Shellhead". I think it was meant as an insult. But it truly does say something that I started answering to that name even before we became allies.
- Awesome, but Impractical:
- Does my Ultimate Lightning Fury Slash MAX sound familiar to you? Flashy as all hell, backed up by the incredible force of its user (me!)... but sometimes it tends to miss the mark. Badly. But I swear, it's only because I use 1% of my true power in battle, and my full-power ULFS MAX is a sight to behold that can rend the heavens in two! No, really! ...Well, minus the "rending the heavens" part. But it's pretty damn close.
- Give me a Megalance and I'll show any monster pointed my way what it truly means to be on the receiving end of the Zekenator's fearsome might! ...Emphasis on "show", since they tend to just attack or ignore me as I am busy channeling my incredible power into each move.
- Badass Longcoat: Only the Zekenator can survive the harsh climate of Tantal wearing nothing but a tattered, battle-worn coat over his bare chest!
- Born Unlucky: Aside from being born with the Eye of Shining Justice, my luck... isn't the best, so to speak. It took me three tries to convince Rex and his chums that I meant no harm without the wrath of Mother Nature rearing its ugly head!
- Chuunibyou: When you meet the Zekenator, the very first thing I imprint on your brain is how incredibly powerful and awesome I am, and how I carry the legendary Eye of Shining Justice and all the destructive power that comes with it! Don't listen to what Pandy has to say about it, it's all true, and I can prove it to you! No, really. On New Game Plus, only the most devout disciples of the Zekenator can grind enough SP to unlock my skill "Unleash Shining Justice" and release the final seal on my fearsome, ungodly might... at least for 90 seconds.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Are you bloody shitting me? How DARE you imply that the mighty Zeke von Genbu is a moron of any kind! It's not my fault if others just can't properly handle the extent of my fearsome might! Just ask Mòrag, who matter-of-factly (and rightfully) describes me as the strongest Driver in all of Tantal.
- Eyepatch of Power: Such an eyepatch is necessary to conceal the power of the Eye of Shining Justice and contain its incredible destructive power! ...No, it's not at all because I couldn't afford a second contact lens!
- Hidden Depths: I'm not all just awesome moves and bombastic bluster - I also happen to be one of the wiser ones in the group, and am well-versed in politics, language, maths, and of course swordsmanship. Given my past in Indol, I also spent a healthy amount of time reflecting on the morality and philosophy of the world, and whether Praetor Amalthus was truly as good a guy as he acted like.
- Leitmotif: I'll have you know that the Zekenator boasts the most epic and awe-inspiring theme music ever known to mankind!
- The Reveal: Did I tell you about the time I almost bloody died? You need to hear about the time I almost bloody died. Specifically, I'm a Blade Eater, and part of Pandy's Core Crystal was implanted into my chest by Amalthus after I was fatally wounded in a battle. Still doesn't excuse him for everything else, though.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: You can't mention the Zekenator without bringing up our beloved mascot... Turters, reveal yourself! ..Wait, what are you- Turters! Ah! TURTERS! (scuttles towards you and grabs Turters) Handling a man's turtle!
- Shock and Awe: They don't call me "Thunderbolt Zeke" for nothing! Thanks to my Blade, Pandoria, my Purple Lightning Dreamsmasher lets me unleash the deadliest electric attacks this side of Theosoir!
- Warrior Poet: Another one of the Zekenator's many talents is his erudite way with words!"Darkness envelops the world in its stygian embrace..."
- Zeke: Now prepare for my ultimate move... ULTIMATE LIGHTNING FURY SLASH... MAX!...Zeke: Huh? (ground crumbles beneath his feet) What's - NOOOOO! NOT AGAAAAAAINNNNN!!!Pandoria: Oh, don't worry about him. He'll find his way back up somehow!
