Character Name: Sanger Zonvolt Canon Name: Super Robot Wars Brief History:First, a 6 minute clip that says everything that needs to be said. In a world filled to the brim with badass mecha pilots, Sanger's arguably the most badass. The self-styled "Sword That Smites Evil," he's a German samurai with a giant sword who has the greatest one-liners and is awesome enough to make kanji appear on screen through sheer force of awesome. In the Original Generations timeline, Sanger is one of the Aggressors, a team of first-generation mecha pilots who helped invent mecha combat and still have reputations as some of the best at it. By the time of the first game, he starts as the commander of the ATX Team, (the same one Kyosuke and Excellen are on,) though that's short-lived as he's captured by enemy forces while securing his men a retreat route. He next shows up as part of the Divine Crusaders, a terrorist organisation which declared a coup on the Earth Federation, and constantly antagonises our heroes. He's eventually defeated along with the rest of the DC, and disappears again. So it turns out that the DC's master plan was to force the EF to band together and upgrade their mecha army in preparation for an incoming alien attack, and Sanger was convinced by their cause and dedication. After doing some work behind the scenes, he shows up again in time for the final push against the alien forces and helps defeat them, but disappears again afterwards because he's now a wanted criminal for treason. These days he's flying around Earth and space being outlaws with a few buddies. He's on good terms with the rest of the heroes, and shows up to bail out his old crew and make awesome entrances all the time, but he can't join the army again for obvious reasons. Because it'd make the games too easy if he were there from the start.
AU Ideas: So Thorin's kind of taken his place as the founder of the ATX Team, and that's fine. My current idea is that he used to be Kyosuke's commanding officer and an old comrade of Thorin's, who is relatively famous amongst military circles for being the guy who's an amazing swordsman and honourable warrior. At some point in the past he would have been thought KIA after a failed mission and just pop off the radar, and he'd show up suddenly just after I successfully app him to antagonise the ATX Team with new Enlightened powers and Pokemon.
There's no real DC equivalent, so he probably won't be a straight up enemy, but still someone with his own plans and on his own journey. (Mostly to master his own Enlightened abilities first before doing anything else.)
Looking For: Mostly old comrades and whatnot. He'd be reasonably famous in the Calderan military, though he'd probably have disappeared by the time Union showed up on the scene. Possibly rivals in swording.
