"I'll show everybody what I can do!"

Gamma is a young Metal Demon. Born in the Photosphere, she knows little of life outside it - but is keenly interested in learning. Trained for war as all Metal Demons are, Gamma is desperate for the glories of combat and to prove herself as a worthy Metal Demon, to do something great and astounding that will get her acknowledged as one of their great warriors. She is one of the few Metal Demons who did not join the battle against Arctica, as she was assigned as rear guard and reinforcements if needed, and believes that this is because she wasn't believed able to contribute. Despite her low rank, she volunteered to be part of the vanguard forces exploring Ignas to prove she's worthy and to make a name for herself. Gamma is a uniquely-shaped Metal Demon, appearing as a cross between the more typical humanoid body plan and a quadruped beast; her build gives her great land speed, and she is capable of keeping up with a locomotive - or so she claims. Though she is capable of taking a more humanoid form, she dislikes doing so as her extra mass makes her bulky and slow, though it does make her very heavily armoured and allow her to form heavier ARMs from her metal flesh. Calling her a Metal Beast is the fastest way to bring her to a fury.

Background

A Metal Demon from the Photosphere.

Gamma is very young for a Metal Demon and did not engage any enemies at Arctica because she was held in reserve for the entire time to chase fleeing figures of importance or engage Gears with her oversized cannons. She mistook being kept away from the fighting as proof that they thought she wasn't up to it, treating her like a youth instead of a skilled warrior.

She volunteered to join the vanguard into Ignas because of it, and her request was accepted. That's where she is now. Unfortunately, as it turns out, hiding a Metal Demon of her type is a lot harder than some of her allies...

Powers and Abilities

Gamma is a centaur-like Metal Demon, though she only resembles both human and horse and is built subtly differently compared to either. She can run extremely fast - she really can keep up with a locomotive, though she can't do it for very long. She's more like horse speed over longer stretches. She can (and will) engage in running battles with Drifters on horseback.

However, unlike her allies Zed or Kalve, Gamma can't possibly pass for any common species on Filgaia. Though she has a cover story, she's aware it probably won't hold up for very long. Fortunately, it doesn't need to.

Gamma is relatively lightly armoured in this form. She uses a lance that has a concealed gun in it; the gun is capable of electromagnetically firing solid or explosive slugs or discharging electricity in a blast. Used as a heavy spear, Gamma wields it in a unique, self-created style that uses her ability to lunge or rush, her long reach, and her strength and size to advantage. (The style does not currently have a name.) She also uses her natural weapons - that is, her legs. She's pretty good at smashing, kicking, and trampling, and is heavy enough that simply running someone down is a valid strategy.

Like some Metal Demons, Gamma is capable of transforming into an alternate shape. Hers is an ogre-like armoured hulk. Gamma doesn't like it very much because it makes her feel like a fat brute instead of a cool Metal Demon warrior. Still, it is effective, and she can't discount that.

Gamma doesn't bother with the lance in this form because most of her martial style doesn't apply - she can't run or charge very well, she's a lot bulkier, she only has two legs, and her balance is totally different. Instead she uses ARMs almost exclusively. She uses the same kind of slug cannon as is on her spear, but in a larger caliber, and not having to form the lance head means she can more carefully modulate the electrical systems; she also has several other concealed weapons in the bulk of her armour, like missiles. She is much slower than her centaur form, but is very durable from all the extra armour.
