----------------------- Guilty Gear XX #Reload: ----------------------- ------------------------------------------- A Word Before We Get Down To The Real Talk: ------------------------------------------- This FAQ is only for the Character Backgrounds and so. So if anybody have anything to add, please do so. Otherwise... do not bother. ====================================================== ----- Name: Sol Badguy ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Solid information on this subject's history is, regrettably, still hard to come by. Here is what we know. After joining the Sacred Order of Holy Knights in 2172, he deserted and became a bounty hunter. One account places the subject in the year 2099 -- exactly as he looks today -- participating in the Gear Project. Though his motives are unknown, he has been spotted hunting down and destroying Gears. His victory over Justice should serve as ample evidence of his superhuman battle ability. His occult powers easily surpass all known limits. Because of his muddy past and immense power, he is considered to be incredibly dangerous. Risk Rating: S ====================================================== ----- Name: Ky Kiske ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Former leader of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights, this charismatic swordsman is now a head figure in the international Police Force. Though fearsome as an enemy, his sense of duty to the law makes him easily controllable. Subject is being used as the base type for our Imitation Series. The completion of this project will be a boon to our war potential. His political power makes him a valid threat. Risk Rating: B ======================================================= ----- Name: May ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Subject works directly under Johnny as a member of the Jellyfish air pirates. She wields a ship's anchor as a weapon. Her complete devotion to Johnny will make her easy to control, should the need arise. Although her birthplace is unknown, avidence suggests that she is of Japanese descent. We are currently seeking confimation on this matter. While not paricularly dangours by herself, the thought of a powerful organization like the Jellyfish Pirates holding a Japanese woman is rather disturbing. Risk Rating: A ======================================================= ----- Name: Millia Rage ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Formerly a hired assassin, the subject is now working with the IPF to dismantle the Guild and capture Zato-One in exchange for her acqittal. The test case for an undisclosed new form of occult art, she uses her hair as a weapon. It is believed her hair falls under the same classification as Gears and Forbidden Beasts. She can be easily controlled if her desire for revenge against Zato is used against her. Although she is not a major threat, her capture and dissction will offer insight into the forces that drive her hair. Risk Rating: C ====================================================== ----- Name: Zato-1 (Eddie) ----- ----------- Background: ----------- A former assassin, the subject was implanted with a Forbidden Beast in order to measure his abilities. The Beast is a type of parasitic animal built from Gear technology, which allows it to partially exsit away from the body. With the Beast's power, he became the head of the Assassins' Guild, eventually disappearing after the first Sacred Knights tournament. Although the subject has yet to be recovered, we have succeeded in retrieving the Beast's Data. The subject has either passed away or had his mind by the Beast. In either case, as the Beast's lifespan is inherently limited. Thanks to the subject's disappearance, the Assassins' Guild has lost much of its power. Therefore, he is not considered dangours. Risk Rating: C ====================================================== ----- Name: Potemkin ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Former slave to the empire of Zepp, subject was the vanguard of the Zepp revolution, and currently works for the new government. With his giant frame and mastery of Zeppian combat, his sheer battle power is comparable to that of an entire ground-based army division. However, as an officer of Zepp, he can be easily diverted due to his loyalties toward his country. The real danger lies in his ties with Gabriel, Zepp's current president. With this in mind, he is considered to be a moderate threat. Risk Rating: B ====================================================== ----- Name: Chipp Zanuff ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Born as an orphan, subject grew up to become an illegal drug trafficker and narcotics addict. He was saved by a man named Tsuyoshi, who taught him the basics of Ninjutsu combat. Subject is the only known man alive who still uses Japanese form of attack. He also uses the force of Ki is his moves, presumably taught to him by Tsuyoshi as well. It is safe to assume that the subject has had extensive training with Ki force. If we can procure this fighting style for our own use, the benefits would be immeasurable. Although a highly skilled fighter, subject is a very straightforward man who has little in the way of mental defenses. A swift capture is highly recommended. He is considered to be moderately dangerous. Risk Rating: B ====================================================== ----- Name: Faust ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Recently-divulged information has led to a renewed interest in this subject, a well-known rogue physician. Using his skills in medicine, the subject can change bodily shape and even engage in teleportation and other occult arts. His skills remind us of a certain project of ours that ended in failure. In our hunch correct, then the subject's capture is a matter of great urgency. Otherwise, he shouldn't pose too much of a threat. Risk Rating: B ====================================================== ----- Name: Baiken ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Subject is a Japanese woman on the run from the authorities. She is still deeply traumatized from the loss of her parents during the war. All of her movements revolve around her ultimate goal of revenge. Her current target is the one she regards as the creator of the Gears. Although her skill with a Japanese sword is great, she is no match for our military might. Additionally, her desire for revenge makes her easy to control. Even if she manages to find the Gears' creator, it would only help our mission. She should be viewed as a serious threat. Risk Rating: C ====================================================== ----- Name: Jam Kuradoberi ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Though she is a chef, subject is one of the world's most proficient wielders of Ki force. Of the five occult arts, the field of "Ki" energy is the least explored and understood. Most of its users are of Eastern descent, aiding the theory that heredity plays a role. Subject's life goal is to discover new and useful cuisines. Control will not be an issue. Although she poses little threat is and of herself, her capture is still desireable. Therefore, she should not be taken lightly. Risk Rating: C ====================================================== ----- Name: Johnny ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Subject is the leader of the Jellyfish air pirates, and a key underworld figure. His mastery of Japanese swordfighting makes him extremely dangours in one-on-one combat. His true power, however, lies in his personal ties with Zepp's president Gabriel and the IPF's Ky Kiske. It is highly likely that the Jellyfish are far more than a mere gang of thugs. A self-styled noble bandit, he always tries to help those less fortunate. Capturing a hostage may be the best way to control his actions. His overall clout makes him a major threat. Risk Rating: A ====================================================== ----- Name: Axl Low ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Subject claims to have jumped into this era from the 20th century. Although his claim is unsubstantiated, he is confirmed to carry certain vital information on past events. His skill with fire helped him earn a spot in the second Sacred Knight tournament. Considering his high physical strength and the danger his unfettered knowledge with extreme caution. Risk Rating: A+ ====================================================== ----- Name: Anji Mito ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Subject is an escaped Japanese who has been evading arrest with the help of the Zessen fan weapon he somehow acquired along the way. A man of pure Japanese descent, his dance-like moves are like poetry in motion. Although his motives are unclear, it is believed he is searching out the Gears and their creator -- not out of spite, but out of sheer curiosity. Regardless of his intentions, the danger of leaving a Japanese man unattended is profound. As such, he is to be viewed as a major threat. Risk Rating: A ====================================================== ----- Name: Venom ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Subject became the top-ranking official in the Assassins' Guild after Zato's disappearance. He leaves most Guild work to his subordinates. His fighting style, using a pool cue and ball as its main components, makes use of multiple object not normally treated as weapons -- a trademark of his assassin unbringing. While lacking in close-combat expertise, his skills as an assassin are top-notch. But his loyalty towards Zato makes him easily malleable. As the leader of one of the world's most influential guild, he poses considerable risk. Risk Rating: B ====================================================== ----- Name: Testament ----- ----------- Background: ----------- One of the few humanoid Gears, and one of the few Gears to retain a sense of self after Gear cell-grafting process. He became an enemy of the human race after aligning with Justice. Subject organized the first Sacred Knights tournament in an attempt to revive Justice. Currently, he is still evading capture. One account mentions a link with Commander Gear Dizzy, but this has yet to be confirmed. His pure hatred of man and incalculable power make him one of the most dangours living beings on Earth at the present time. He should be viewed as a major threat. Risk Rating: S ====================================================== ----- Name: Dizzy ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Though her identity is unknown, sources say this subject is a mix of both human and Gear. All known Gears, including Testament were subordinates under the control Commander Gear Justice. As a result, most of the Gears ceased functioning after Justice was slain in battle. This one, however, was not effected, possibly due to her genetic makeup. In fact, she may have the ability to actually reawaken downed Gears. Eyewitness accounts place her as working together with the humanoid Gear, Testament. One report says the subject was recently destroyed by the bounty hunter, Jam, but this may be a fabrication of events. If she is still alive, her quick capture and disposal take precedence over all matters. Risk Rating: S++ ====================================================== ----- Name: Slayer ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Subject is an entirely different form of life, completely inapplicable to any previously known categories. Neither Human nor Gear in origin, his DNA structure bears no relation at all to anything currently on record. It is unknown how many other beings like this one are in existence, and whether or not they have any relation to the human race. Besides his name (Slayer), all we know about the man is that he founded the Assassins' Guild. His battle abilities and combat style have no known method of supperssion, making him an unmatched threat of the highest caliber. Risk Rating: S+ ====================================================== ----- Name: I-No ----- ----------- Background: ----------- UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! UNKNOWN! Risk Rating: S ====================================================== ----- Name: Zappa ----- ----------- Background: ----------- The so-called "vengeful spirit" that this subject carries has yet to be confirmed, but has been spotted by several eyewitnesses. theories abound on its origin. Some say it is the embodiment of someone's innermost thoughts; others say it's a prewar experimental weapon. Regardless, the subject is confirmed to have an extremely rare form of mind parasite. If captured, the insights his body could bring to mental weaponry could be useful. However, his motives see-saw between his own desires and those of his parasite. As such, he should be approached with caution. Risk Rating: B+ ====================================================== ----- Name: Bridget ----- ----------- Background: ----------- Normally, we would not even bother with such a simple bounty hunter. However, this one bears mention because of his multi-millionaire father and the fact that he is currently searching for a Commander Gear. While Commander Gear Dizzy is thought to be dead, this account has certain flaws which we have pointed out in a previous report. Any information on the fate Dizzy that the subject may contain could be indispensible. Due to an issue involving twins, the subject (a man) was raised as a woman by his family. He could be brought to our side via relatives. Using a yo-yo as his weapon, he has fair skills as a bounty hunter, but nothing worthy of special mention. His threat is minimal. Risk Rating: D ====================================================== ----- Name: Justice ----- ----------- Background: ----------- A fully sentient Gear, and the instigator of the holy war between Gears and Humans. Most Gears are programmed to destroy everything in their path. Some humanoid Gears, though, can acqire the ability to reason. In addition to its sentience, Justice held the power to control every Gear in existence, no matter their origin. This made Justice the only "complete" Gear man has ever created. Sealed in another dimension, it managed to escape but was soon destroyed by Sol Badguy. As such, a risk assessment is unnecessary.
