Trigger-happy Tsundere, coming through!

[sniper-luver.livejournal.com]

I finally got her app finished, so here's Rinon Toros, from Zoids New Century /0, which is set a few centuries after Van's canon (the final battle in NC/0 actually takes place on a huge Zoid from Chaotic Century/Guardian Force).

Despite her journal being Sniper Luver, she's actually starting out with the Dibison, which is a huge Buffalo-type mech with far too much artillery.


Also, Arika's back, and she's been off doing school stuff. But hey, on the bright side, she's not last-ranked in her class anymore, she's up to 17!



Finally, yes, Rinon's English name is "Leena". I choose to use "Rinon" instead for 3 reasons: 1) I used to have an icon that had her name in it (this was an actual screenshot, still in the US version), 2) At the time I first played her, there was a Lina Inverse in the game, and I didn't want to have the same name, and 3) I think it sounds cooler. For those of you who understand, great!


[totally just an excuse to post this]



I will throw up a post for Arika when I get home, since I need to finish getting ready for a meeting now.

... Dear god. Arika is Mahou Shoujo Stonewall Jackson.

That, and main-character syndrome.

Well I wouldn't say Stonewall Jackson was the main character of the Civil War. Maybe some sidestory focusing on him, sure... but I think that honor goes to Robert E. Lee.

I'd say Grant, but he was a drunkard who relied on attrition to win his battles.

Fuck yeah, Zoids Heavyarms. I always have an appreciation for entirely too much ordanance. And trigger happy beauties~

[sniper-luver.livejournal.com]

Dude, Heavyarms wishes it were one of Rinon's mechs. Have you seen the list of weapons?

Dibison: 105mm 17-Shot Megalo Max Assault Cannons, Crusher Horn, Crusher Metal Spike Hooves, 8-Shot Missile Pod (2), AZ 3-Barreled Shock Cannon, 35mm Anti-Ground Cannon (2), Pulse Beam Gun

Gun Sniper: Beam Gatling Guns (2), Beam Launcher, 8-Shot Missile Pod (2), AZ 144mm Sniper Rifle, Strike Claw (2), Strike Anchor Claw (2), Bite Fangs, Wild Weasel Unit, Beam Gatling unit (2), triple launcher unit (2), missile pods (4)

I know, I know. Quadriped frames have so much more space for weaponry, it's not even funny!

...I still dunno how they fit so much on the Gun Sniper, though...and how the heck do you snipe with your tail?

[sniper-luver.livejournal.com]

Well, everything from Wild Weasel Unit on is custom to Gun Sniper LS, not on the standard unit.

And in NC/0, it shows how they use the sniper tail. The seat turns around and angles them so that they can look down it (I guess). Naomi uses it as a sniper like that.

Unfortunately, I can't find a standard Gun Sniper image, but Naomi's model (http://www.shopro.co.jp/tv/program/zoids/zero/zoidsdetail.html?gun_sniper_red) seems to have the standard armaments (maybe a few less). Of course, Rinon's (http://www.shopro.co.jp/tv/program/zoids/zero/zoidsdetail.html?gun_sniper_blue) is a lot more cluttered.

Gotta love the gunsniper!

But she's terrible with the HA custom >< or mostly...

[sniper-luver.livejournal.com]

I want the Gun Sniper LS Custom model so bad... need money for it, first.

She is so terrible with... not wasting ammo.

[blackguard-x2.livejournal.com]

I guess you got me there.
