Name: ZX9 Normally called Subject Z or Mr. Z by Alpha

Age: Manufactured two years ago, physical age is thirty

Gender: Male

Physical appearance: ZX9's physical appearance is quite strange due to how the processes used to create him were all done to the human subject after the human was placed in the armor he currently wears now. This means that if one was to take off the armor from ZX9 you would have to take off quite a bit of skin and muscles as well due to it fusing to the metal more or less. His height is around ten feet due to how the T-Virus used on him had to be assisted by other chemicals for ZX9 would need the extra mass to carry the armor and weaponry he would be installed with. This causes him to weigh around half a ton on his own though with his armor he weights nearly a ton easily thanks to all the armor and the heavy sword he carries around. What he looks like under it is up to debate but if one was to take away the armor and all the mechanical enhancements he would look a bit like this.

Spoiler:

Clothing of choice: ZX9's outfit consist of his full body armor that has been integrated into his body the armor is made of a special metallic alloy that helps to keep virus mutation in check. The armor is not too thick though so 7.62x39mm rounds can get through with concentrated fire, and anything greater can get through even faster. The armor's design is based on days of yore in a way to make ZX9 look a bit more terrifying as modern day armor tends to lean less toward terror tactics and more toward uniformity to help ease production cost. The armor did have to be adjusted a slight bit though when ZX9 gained two tentacles as they could be made into far more effective weapons when protected from getting chopped off easily, this combined to make a truly demonic looking armored soldier who was perfect for close range fighting.

Spoiler:

Skills: ZX9's skills area mix mash of different weapon lines as the Umbrella group that made him were trying to put the different positive traits of the other B.O.W.'s into this one form. This caused ZX9 to have a fairly good array of abilities such as extremely high physical strength, if he is able to close the distance between himself and a heavy tank he could tear it apart with his bare hands while a light tank could be thrown by him. This allows him to make good use of the environment to his advantage as he can easily rip a chunk of concrete out of a wall and lob it at a person from a fair distance away if needed, or simply break through a building to get to a person instead of going around it. To be exact his physical strength is fifteen percent greater than a Nemesis class B.O.W. though other larger B.O.W.'s are of course stronger than ZX9.

Due to his main focus on melee attacks he is made to be very durable even when his armor is pierced through as his regenerative abilities are fairly quick though medium to heavy damage to him would take rest time to recover from. This focus on melee attacks also made it clear that his speed could not be dropped too much or he would risk being easily killed by a human that can just out walk him, thus his speed is thirty miles per hour allowing him to catch a human as the fastest speed a human has sprinted was twenty seven point seven miles per hour. With such speed he is not the fastest B.O.W. but he is fast enough to get the job done, this is also helped by the fact his reaction time is quite high as he can react in 0.2 seconds which is about the same as the average human reaction time of 0.2-0.25 seconds.

His melee skills is top notch as he can easily take a human down in close quarters with either his hands or with his sword, this is made worse by the fact his tentacles are perfect for ripping and tearing at an opponent with quick powerful hits to distract enough for a ZX9's fist to finish the job. His brain functions are fairly basic and limited due to how a B.O.W. with his skills becoming a unsatisfied worker would be very bad for everyone at Umbrella, thus he was made with computer chips placed in his head to allow a control system to be used on him to keep him in check. He is still able to talk of course but due to his mouth's shape he is unable to make certain sounds and replaces them with others, such as replacing s with z and what not.

This control is actually a weakness of sorts as this causes ZX9 to loose consciousness if Alpha was to be knocked out as well, due to a signal being scent into his mind to help keep him from going out of control on his own. If Alpha was to be killed though ZX9 would be free to do what he wants, but with him being made to fight and kill that would be what he would only do. Kill everything he could find and would have to be put down as he was made to be unable to be reprogrammed to another control signal, it was Umbrella's way of keeping someone from simply killing Alpha, knocking ZX9 out with drugs, and reprogramming him to do their bidding. The other weakness is ZX9's reliance on melee attacks and his size, this causes him to be fairly easy to spot from far away and if one can lay down enough fire on him they can prevent him from approaching as self preservation programming would prevent ZX9 from making a mad rush into a wall of lead unless directed to by Alpha or if a previous order required he do so.

He also has the standard enhance senses as well like all other B.O.W.s with the added ability to be able to track down Alpha if needed. He can use guns but honestly he rather just hit a person with his sword, it strong enough to chop through tank armor so it deadly enough as is.

Affiliation: Minerva

Rank: Rook

Personality: ZX9's personality is for the most part blank and non-existent though the weapon shows affection and protective traits toward Alpha. This causes the weapon to be something of a difficulty to deal with as coming close to Alpha is enough to cause ZX9 to be slightly aggressive, and the slightest harm that comes to Alpha will set the weapon's attack programing off. Most compare ZX9's persona around Alpha as that of a highly protective father who doesn't have issues with killing people.

Biography: Who ZX9 was before being turned into the creature he is now is unknown due to the records of such things being lost in the destruction of the lab that created him, he was created using the data and materials from other B.O.W.s most of which were from the humanoid groups. This did make the cost of making ZX9 lesser to an extent but getting all the different data and viruses to work together correctly did take a while, the main features were the size and strength of a Nemesis but adding extra armor and giving it control systems like the T.A.L.O.S. though they could not call it a T.A.L.O.S. type B.O.W. due to how they had no real data on the older model and simply wanted to add armor onto ZX9 and use their own take on the remote control method they knew of due to some of the notes they had on T.A.L.O.S. Thus ZX9's only similarities with T.A.L.O.S. is the use of a remote control system set into his mind, and the use of armor as it would be more accurate to call ZX9 a armored Nemesis or armored T-103.

The control system was used though due to how the Nemesis line had to be ordered verbally to do things, thus requiring the creature to be able to properly hear a order. With a remote control to ZX9's brain the B.O.W. is able to be controlled from anywhere and no miss-communication could happen, sadly the group didn't have access to an AI like Red Queen when they were making ZX9 and had to rely on making a control unit out of a human. As the human brain was a very effective and efficient computer in and of itself, thankfully making a human to fit the role was far easier than making ZX9 so delays on the project were minimal.

This other being was finished before ZX9 and so was able to be integrated with his mind before he was even brought out of his stasis like slumber, this was actually a good thing as it kept ZX9 from going insane at all as the constant control signals sent to his brain was enough to keep his mental health good enough for slight sanity. ZX9 did have to be trained for a few years in order for him to be fully functional as its original programming did not include protecting a target from all others as he would need to do for Alpha. Over time though the weapon did learn to be highly protective of Alpha and even formed a maternal bond with the younger being, this was helped by the fact he was so much larger compared to Alpha making the being even more child like to ZX9.

It was this bond that allowed Alpha to be able to control ZX9 enough to have him assist Alpha in escaping from the Umbrella lab, for Alpha knew that they were only going to end up being little toy soldiers to be used as weapons and be forced to follow orders at all times. This did not fit well with the younger being at all as Alpha was far more free-spirited and stubborn than ZX9, and was why Alpha went against orders and released ZX9 from his holding area. With the help of ZX9's close combat skills they were easily able to force their way through the lower levels of the Umbrella lab, though when the mass produced T-103's were unleashed upon the two things did get hairy. ZX9 was even reduced to using his feet to kick the T-103's away from him. The T-103's were even able to get close enough to break Alpha's arm which was a bad move on their part as the scream from the younger being caused ZX9 to attack with greater brutality.

When the duo finally reached the ground level ZX9 was bleeding slightly from wounds on its body that were caused by the T-103's and the heavy weapons that some Umbrella Guards were able to set up before they reached the upper levels. Alpha had a broken arm, cuts, and a tattered outfit but both were already starting to heal from the wounds they suffered, it was then Alpha's idea to join Minerva as it was an group that would allow the two to kill as well as keep them safe from Umbrella for the most part. Though the two did finally reach a Minerva held location it wasn't an easy job getting the two in with the group, not many people like the thought of an armored monster of sorts walking around inside of their base.

Well I'm not to sure because he looks like a Zombie and everyone who is one starts off at a low level. However if the staff is okay with it I'll approve.

Hmm to be honest I'm going to see General's decision on this one.

Where to start?

The TALOS project itself found a sort of "end" when Chris and Jill assaulted the base in Russia, so picking the reaserch up where they left and manufacturing... this... would be close to impossible.

Also, this is (as you said) a living tank, and I'm guessing a panzerfaust is not enough to kill it... And I'm quite bothered by the "weapon of mass destruction" statement... The bottomline: Too powerfull and quite hard to achieve. I'm sorry but that's a disapproval in my book.

Dissaprovals 1/3

Going to have to second the above...

Disapprovals 2/3

Actually a well what ever you call that one rocket launcher would do great damage. I put down the armor around him can be punched through by 5.56 mm rounds so a rocket would hurt him quite a bit. It the plates attached to his armor that stand out that are tough to damage, and I said weapon of mass destruction just for effect as it would not be impossible to stop him just blast him with enough 5.56 mm and up rounds or explosives and he would fall apart due to the large amounts of damage.

As for the TALOS project, it simply placing heavy armor and weaponry onto a t-102's body and just growing its body a bit bigger to allow it to move around in the stuff. That and putting computer chips inside of its head to make it easy to control, you also left it where the Russian lab is still on your site and might have BOW research papers and what not in there. It wouldn't be impossible for a small group of Umbrella people to be sent there and gather up any Data on TALOS and try to make a new one, but eh if this is not meant to be it not meant to be I guess.

I'll figure something else out for Alpha to control then.

hmm to be honest I won't say approval or disapproval....if you can change it for the better, than please do...I'll recheck it over, if nothing is wrong then I won't disapprove, so will the other staff members.

Took out the weapon of mass destruction thing just saying he would be a pain to kill *just like a Nemesis would*

Made extra sure people know 5.56 MM and up rounds can get through the major armor of its body as well as pointed out where the thicker plates are at even if the picture shows them.

I put down a bit more history, made sure to put down he is based on the Original but due to data issues he not as thick armored as the original. Also put down his issue with dealing with fast small targets and aircraft, as well as how ambush tactics are a good way to take him down.

My vote stands... I'm sorry but things like "living tank" and being faster and stronger than the previous TALOS units... It's a no go to me man. I mean, I like your writing style and everything, but it's still not a viable character. I can understand regeneration and strength, but quick reflexes, great jumping height and such I cannot approve in a TALOS.

thank you for you vote General, although it's a good character Alpha....I have to agree with General.... so I'm sad to say that....

Disapproved: 2/3

Edited out by poster due to over stepping bounds and not being more calm and understanding of the staff*

I don't want to hear it...I told you to fix it, but as soon as I saw what you had it wasn't fixed in entirely... I have to agree with him on this one, if you still want it saved then you're going to have to do something about the character itself, there is no way in hell that a T.A.L.O.S. can be that fast and have that kind of flexiblity.... We did tell you to be creative, but we won't give you critism.... I'm giving it right now...but we're not here to help people all the time...you can be creative...but don't make a character over the line we draw.

I just fixed it and creative criticism is the telling a person what is wrong while giving them tips on making it right, that is the criticism I was talking about. Also I was simply told to fix it up not how, I was not sure what parts you found to be too much and I was walking around blind, I am sorry for upsetting you all but I don't know your administration that well so I don't exactly know where that line is. That compiled onto the fact I never been on a RE site before I was shooting in the darkness with this, I was not trying to be OP I was just trying to make it work.

I was so confused as to what I could or couldn't do I had to look over at Nemesis and see what he could and couldn't have to figure out what I could and couldn't have. Though I tired to reword things to make me not a copy cat, also what I really was not understanding was that you all already started to vote it to be moved to the disapproved area before I have a chance to fix. *was lucky to get on before the third and final vote was made* So even if I could of made it work I couldn't due to how I am not authorized to do things in the disapproved area.



Yet again I am very deeply sorry about what I said earlier and I wouldn't blame you if this was put in disapproved as well as me getting banned for this. I shouldn't of reacted like I did and I am willing to face the punishment, I just felt like the char was getting put in the no go box without a chance to fix it and defend it. *sits and waits for my fate*

Sorry for double post but fixed him further to make him less T.A.L.O.S.'y?

Anyway he is strictly melee now so no more death from afar, I did up the regen a bit but only because he going to have to take a lot of lead while trying to close the distance between himself and another. *ya you can give him a gun but that would be because of someone else giving him a gun not me, aka Queen or Joker or something gave him it by then well you can yell at that person for the bullets flying your way.*

The bullet name is a link to that type of bullet, it is easy to know a AK-47 uses those rounds and I'm sure any organization could get easy access to them or a gun as strong as or stronger than a AK-47. i rather have the armor thicker but then again running into the OP area so I'm ok with the thickness if this is what I can get, better than nothing I say. The speed is not that great but enough where yes I can catch a person but no I can't go all matrix on you or anything.

I hope he is okay now that I made him just something you don't want to be near *which to be honest most B.O.W.s are like, get near one you tend to die quickly so ya I just more armored and smarter.*

If there is something you want me to change just say so, I'm more than willing to fix him to fit. If approved I'll need to take out all the T.A.L.O.S bits that are in Alpha's history, as well as any mentions of heavy weaponry that I might of said in her history.

I'm going to see what General says on this one again, because to be honest I'm not one to know what the hell a T.A.L.O.S. should be. So please wait for my vote on this one.
