Zetsubou Robo

---

While he doesn't say these exact words, they do sum up his feelings on the matter quite easily. He keeps saying, "I've killed us all, I've killed us all," over and over until Harrison snaps him out of it while the squadron is trying to escape New Olympia. In the epilogue, she already has one child, and Priss sees the bump on her belly indicating that another one is on the way.

Bus Driver

After snapping out of her latest Heroic BSoD , she manages to not only kill Emperor Grishnak, but she also carves a path through every Bellafaun force thrown at her by both him and Emperor Lutwai, culminating in her holding Lutwai at gunpoint and forcing him to sign a treaty to end the war. Crosses this after finding her father's corpse, which takes place very shortly after her best friend Caroline Jefferson is killed and New Olypmia is overrun by the Bellafaun, both of which take place in the middle of the book.

Fortunately, intervention from therapists after arriving at Yggdrasil seems to help her overcome this. The same can not be said for her fellow pilot Elliot Carver, however. Earn Your Happy Ending: After all of the shit that she goes through over the course of the story, Hiromi Callahan, or Hiromi Douglas in the epilogue, has definitely earned her happy ending.

She's not only married to Russell, one her few friends to survive the war with the Bellafaun, but she also has a child too. She also seems rather well adjusted, considering everything she went through, but the book does mention her going to therapy sessions on Yggdrasil following the events of New Olympia. To Russell Douglas, her fellow pilot and long time friend from high school.

One could make a drinking game with this girl. First come the deaths of her mother and sister, followed by the death of Caroline Jefferson, and after that we have the discovery of her father's corpse on Concordia. Finally, we have Carver's death after he plows his mech into a door on Grshnak's ship so that Hiromi can make her way over to the bridge, only to see that there was another heavily guarded door beyond the first one.

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: First, she witnesses her mother and sister die along with hundreds of other people, while her father has gone missing, effectively making her an orphan. Also, her home planet is ravaged and conquered by racist space elves. Then, after a somewhat rough start as a refugee living with her surviving relatives on New Olympia, she joins the military with the hope of not only getting revenge on the Bellafaun but also of finding her father.

This does not end well, as she has to watch many of her newest friends and fellow pilots die one by one as planet after planet is conquered, and soon her second home is destroyed, her remaining family are killed, and her best friend in the entire galaxy is killed for kicks by the enemy, and another close friend apparently dies after staying behind to give her and the rest of her squad time to escape.

To top this all off, New Olympia is conquered by the Bellafaun, and shortly afterward, she ends up on her homeworld only to find her father's desecrated corpse, sending her into a nearly catatonic state. The conga line only ends after one more pilot dies while trying to perform a heroic sacrifice, only for her to realize that his sacrifice was pointless because the path to the bridge of Grishnak's ship, and subsequently Grishnak himself, is heavily guarded with another door.

In the Epilogue, both he and Hiromi are married with one child, and another on the way. To Hiromi in the book's Epilogue. He can seem this way, along with Serizawa, as both Douglas and Serizawa seem to be the only characters who don't deliberately do anything incredibly life threatening during the book. Granted, signing up to pilot a war machine against a technologically superior enemy that has a solid track record of winning almost every fight may seem a bit crazy, but out of everyone on Cobra Squadron, Douglas certainly fits the bill, especially since he tries his best to get Doridan Mosk, a man with a record of winning every fight he's in, to side with humanity when given the chance.

After the death of Carmen Rockwell, he enters a serious depression, which is only compounded after Captain Harrison tells him that Rockwell was pregnant with their lovechild at the time of her death. Following Cobra Squadron's arrival at Yggdrasil, he finally loses all hope and attempts to commit suicide in a hotel bath tub, only to be stopped by Captain Harrison. He never fully recovers from this.

Directly following Carmen's death and his subsequent attack on Gehrian Skell. Having been mortally wounded by Gehrian Skell before avenging Rockwell, Carver tells Callahan to find a safe spot as he rushes his damaged mech through the halls of Grishnak's ship before ramming into a closed door in a fiery explosion, opening up a path for Callahan to get to Grishnak.

Unfortunately, the path is blocked by another door and several guards, which causes his sacrifice to be in vain and sends Callahan into a Heroic BSoD. First he watches as his home planet is conquered by the Bellafaun and nearly everyone in his family is killed, and then he sees his fiancee die in a horrific explosion. Finally, after defeating and apparently killing Carmen's killer, allowing him to have at least some closure, Captain Harrison tells him that Carmen was pregnant when she died, sending him right back into a depression, which eventually culminates in him trying to commit suicide.

United Nations Colonial Frontier

And after that, he eventually learns that he failed to kill Rockwell's killer, causing him to become suicidally reckless during his fight with said killer. Sergeant Carmen Rockwell A native resident of New Olympia, Carmen Rockwell is considered to be one of the best mech pilots in the military. Is one of the best three mech pilots on New Olympia. Unfortunately, this doesn't save her from Gehrian Skell's dirty fighting. She is one of the calmest and most rational characters in the story.

Warrant Officer Edward G. Delgado Ryuujin Serizawa A minor character, Serizawa is one of the four original members of Cobra Squadron to survive the war with the Bellafaun. While trapped in the hangar bay of Empress Kulam's Royal Carrier, Serizawa manages to hold off several waves of Bellafaun troops while Harrison, Newman, and Mulcahy's Marines attempt to complete their mission. He does this while the two Marines guarding the escape ship with him are dead, meaning that he is alone the entire time. He is one of only two members of the assault team to survive the mission to destroy Empress Kulam's carrier, with the other survivor being Captain Harrison.

Staff Sergeant Kevin Howarth A member of Cobra Squadron, Howarth originally joined the cross-branch Mech unit in order to advance his own rank, but after seeing what the Bellafaun were doing to the planets they conquered, and how they butchered innocent civilians indiscriminately, he quickly reorganized his priorities. Is mentioned in the book as having dirty blond hair and dark skin, although whether he is black or brown is not specified.

Goes AWOL in order to help evacuate groups of civilians cut off from the main evacuation routes after the Bellafaun enter the mega-city of Leonidas. He somehow manages to do this without anyone noticing until he's already gone. Is the first member of Cobra Squadron to die after the first time skip, although he is technically the third member of Cobra Squadron to die in general, as two other pilots have already been killed in action during a previous battle with the Bellafaun.

All that's really known about him is his name.

Giant Robot

Unlike some examples, he isn't forgotten right away, as his name appears on a plaque dedicated to the fallen men and women of New Olympia at a memorial on Yggdrasil visited by Captain Harrison during the one year interim before the Bellafaun attack the Epsilon Eridani System. Lieutenant Priscilla "Priss" McNichol A resident of New Olympia, like many other mech pilots, Priscilla "Priss" McNichol is relatively young woman thrust into a bloody and almost hopeless fight to ensure humanity's survival.

Along with the other female characters. Priss has survived things unscathed that few other characters in the book can survive with any injury. The book mentions that she was also born with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck, which makes her streak of luck only that much more incredible. Was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around her throat, frequently survives almost impossible odds, and is even named after characters from Blade Runner and Bubblegum Crisis.

She also survives crashing a motorcycle into a mech, has her own mech incapacitated during the Battle of Kelron II, survives the massacre of her entire team during the Battle of New Olympia, fights and destroys a Bellafaun corvette on her own Which even Delgado failed to do , manages to escape the planet surface only to fight more Bellafaun in order to protect the ship she's escaping on, and then has her mech incapacitated and strapped to a makeshift escape vessel while traveling faster than the speed of light through subspace while trying to destroy a Bellafaun tracking device placed on said ship's hull before it arrives in the Epsilon Eridani system, and ends up suffering from oxygen deprivation only to recover to fight the Bellafaun again after they attack Yggdrasil and survives to see the end of the war.

This girl is luck incarnate.

Even when the odds are stacked against her, and she starts suffering from oxygen deprivation, Priss still does everything she can to ensure the safety of the people around her. Priss is usually referred to as Priss, a shortened version of her first name, Priscilla.

Upcoming Events

Another nickname that she is given by certain military personnel after the Battle of New Olympia is the Last Sparrow, due to her being the last surviving member of Sparrow Squadron. It's unknown if she is aware of this nickname or not, however. Is named after two characters from Bubblegum Crisis: Much like her namesake, Priss has brown hair and rides a motorcycle.

She does not, however, sing in a band.

Captain Leonard Harrison

She remains the sole survivor until she meets up with Cobra Squadron, and after staying behind to lure the corvette away from the Leningrad, she once again becomes a sole survivor after Howarth dies following their brief team-up. She is, however, still the only surviving member of Sparrow Squadron following the Battle of New Olympia, before she is absorbed into Cobra Squadron prior to the Battle of Yggdrasil. Captain Juan Perez The Leader of Sparrow Squadron, Juan Perez had to win a game of Rock Paper Scissors with Harrison in order to get Priss McNichol assigned to his squad, after both men witnessed her hijack a combat mech in order to stop a runaway construction mech during her training.

Doesn't get much dialogue, and he is slaughtered along with his entire squadron off-screen or off-page, with the exception of Priss McNichol. It is possible for a player to enter the inside of a Riese by shooting at the lights on the undersides of their feet. Doing so results in a maintenance hatch opening up that will transport the player to their head when the Robot steps on them. It should be noted that only one of the Robots' feet will have the lights lit at a time. Additionally, when all three of the Robots tread the map at once, only one of the Robots can be entered.

There are no zombies inside the robots, however the player is allowed a limited time within the Robot. The player will be automatically ejected in approximately 30 seconds after entering, or they may eject at any time by activating one of the hatches. If a player has unearthed the Golden Helmet with the Shovel , they can survive being stepped on by a Robot, instead only becoming stunned for a while after the robot's foot clears out. Interacting with the robots is vital for obtaining the Staff of Wind, and moreover, completing Little Lost Girl.

In addition to collecting the parts for Staff of Wind, three of the staffs must be placed in each of the robots' heads, and later on a red button in each head has to be pressed before throwing a G-Strike onto the seal near Generator 5. An inactive robot is present in The Giant.

It is located behind the starting room, with its head hooked on a crane. An easter egg, which involves using the teleporters with Monkey Bombs inside, will activate the robot's head, making it fire a laser beam at the Der Riese sign, bouncing off it and melting the snow on the other side, revealing a hidden Perk machine.

This robot is present in Der Eisendrache , as it is fully constructed and used by the young original characters to pursue the truck that carries the original "Tank" Dempsey. The robot is disabled by a Panzerschreck that was fired by one of the soldiers in the truck. During gameplay, it is seen laying, now damaged, at the base of one of the mountains, near a town. These are used as traps around the map in which the beam in their visor activates, shooting a laser at a certain area of the map, killing the zombies that go through it. In Rumble , in one of the starting spawn rooms, there is a poster in bold words reading "The Giant" with a picture of a Riese behind the words.
