Description: In response to all the damage Zeus’s Thunderbolt has inflicted upon Chronos installations in the United States, Dr. Barcus has charged Umbra Domino, his apprentice and one of the new generation of Zoalords created to restore the Council of Twelve, to develop a new series of Anti-Libertus type hyper zoanoids, which as the name implies are to be specially optimized to defend Chronos from the rogue actions of the Guyver III Agito Makashima and his rogue zoanoid forces, the Libertus and their Zoalord leader Griselda, formerly Shizu Onuma. Barbarak is the first successful Anti-Libertus zoanoid to be developed and is quickly being mass produced in Chronos bases all over North America, with plans to produce it overseas as well to further limit Zeus’ Thunderbolt’s movements. This zoanoid closely resembles a cross between the old Danaplus, Borzel, & Zencrebe models only with a Zektole like exoskeleton, is black with red horns, claws, and spikes, eye color is green.

Physical strength: heavy muscle augmentation, dense bone structure, and superior bio-energy reserves enable this zoanoid to equal a guyver in terms of sheer brute strength, granting it the strength of 100 men.

Durability= durability was Lord Umbra’s chief concern when developing this new breed of Zoanoid, for past battles between Chronos hyper zoanoids and Zeus’s Thunderbolt Libertus has shown that even with advanced offensive weaponry our zoanoids were unable to stop Griselda’s pawns from literally tearing them limb from limb with their uncanny strength. To make matters even worse, Griselda’s ability to heal her wounded troops made it so that even when our soldiers did manage to injure the enemy they did not stay that way for long, making it impossible to wear them down over time. To remedy this issue, Barbarak was given a special hybridized body armor featuring the best properties from the armors of the two best armored hyper zoanoids of the past, Neo-Zektole and Powered Zerebubuse. What this means is that Barbarak’s armored form is virtually impenetrable, able to easily withstand nearly any form of impact, from a Libertus’s blows to a Guyver’s pressure cannon, and on top of that it cannot be cut by high frequency swords since its armor vibrates at the same frequency. As if that was not enough, the numerous armor piercing spikes covering its body can generate a force field powerful enough to withstand the bioblasters of a Libertus mode B or the kamikaze attack of mode C, and when working together in a group they can combine their shields to protect their Zoalord commanders and essential sections of Chronos installations from being vaporized by mulitple bioblasts/suicide attacks.

Speed= despite its size and bulk this zoanoid can more remarkably fast and has very quick reflexes, a handy ability to have since as per its purpose as an Anti-Libertus type hyper zoanoid the Barbarak often does battle in the confined spaces of Chronos installations. At top speed it can run at 180miles per hour, but rarely does so since its deployed as security guards for Chronos bases.

Offensive weapons= Unfortunately, attempts to outfit this zoanoid with bioblaster type weaponry have thus far failed, or to be more precise, all the bio-beam equipped prototypes proved to suffer from severely weakened stamina, unable to handle the strain of both the bioblasters and all its highly specialized defensive optimizations, much like powered zerebubuse. Convinced that defense was in the end the best offense, Lord Umbra decided to scrap the bio-beam equipped versions of this zoanoid until a solution to the stamina problem could be found. Also, it was deemed unnecessary to equip this zoanoid with high frequency blades since the high frequency armor covering its body render it impervious to such weapons anyway, that combined with its great strength, razor sharp teeth and claws, armor piercing spikes, and the horns on its head are really all it needs to rip a Libertus asunder, or even tear the Zoacrystal or Control Medal from the foreheads of Griselda or Guyver III. In short, this Anti-Libertus zoanoid was designed to be the ultimate defensive type melee combatant, perfectly suited to defending Chronos property and personnel without inflicting too much damage on the interior of a base.

Senses= Barbarak has excellent senses designed to alert it of threats to itself and the base it guards quickly if a Zoalord does not alert it first. Its sense of smell is keener than a shark’s and its eyes possess infrared and x-ray vision, enabling it to track invading Libertus forces even behind walls. Its sense of hearing is acute as well, equal to that of a Vikarr biosonar type zoanoid.

Special Features= To prevent this powerful zoanoid from being turned on its comrades and masters by the mental commands of the Zoalord Griselda, Barbarak has been programmed to only respond to very specific thought wave patterns, namely those of Zoalords loyal to Chronos and Lord Arcanfel. This of course means that Barbarak will ignore any thought wave patterns it does not recognize as amongst those of its masters, rendering Griselda and even the two traitor zoalords Luggnag and Jervil unable to convert this loyal servant of Chronos. Furthermore, Barbarak has been given anti-aptom anti-bodies inorder to prevent its unique features from being absorbed by the turncoat Lost Number.

What ya think guys? Okay for a first attempt at an OC zoanoid data file? :mura:

Overall it's ok, but you've made some guesses that have not being proven in the manga.

The Libertus are also not immune from commands of other Zoalords, Valkus could have taken them over if not for Shizu.

In the same way any new hyper any anti-Libertus wouldn't easily be immune from Shizu. The only real way is to have the zoalords there against the Libertus.

Libutus have never shown themselves to be immune to vibrational swords nor never really faced a group of bio-blasters that too had a Zoalord with them to back them up to prevent Shizu from getting into their heads.

Apart from that the basic idea of an anti-Libetus is good. You've gone a different way to the Enzyme and basically got with the idea of out powering and out gun it. But if you look at an alternative Enzyme 3 model, if Chronos ever got a sample of a Libetrus they would in theroy simply make an anti-Libertus Enzyme, and mix it would Gaster and then you've something nasty (this could easily bee added to your already exisiting idea). Though that would be my guess. In the end Chronos will find a way to defeat it, most likely it will take a Zoalord to go against the other zoalord.

[Zoaknight]

Yeah, but isn't Barcus supposed to be the strongest telepath next to Arcanfel in all of Chronos? I mean, if he couldn't seize control of the Libertus even with the assistance of his thought wave enhancing machinery doesn't that mean the other Zoalords wouldn't be able to do any better unless they ganged up on Griselda with multiple thought waves?

And yeah, I realize that the best defense against Griselda's thought waves would be for another Zoalord to be present to counter her own (unless my theory about Griselda's telepathy being too much for any other Zoalord short of Arcanfel), but I figured that no Zoalord likely has exactly the same thought wave patterns or Zoacrystal resonance, so perhaps it would be possible to program a Zoanoid to only respond to thought wave patterns it is familiar with or has been implanted into its memory, kinda like keeping out a hacker trying to break into a computer system. If the Barbarak senses an unfamiliar thought wave trying to command it knows instinctively to ignore it, or its mental conditioning overrides it. The best example I can think of to describe what I mean would be an incident that took place in the Assassin Guyver storyline, the part where the Overlords mistake Isis for a female guyver 2 gone rogue after accidentally killing a bio-titan. Valcuria's bio-titan KNEW to ignore the commands of the two Overlords present at the base because it had recieved orders from Arcanfel to protect Isis & Valcuria and knew a mistake had been made (normally it wouldn't have been able to ignore a direct order from a superior but its higher orders and specialized conditioning by Arcanfel allowed it to override the overlord's orders). Its would be the same basic premise, griselda would try to invade the mind of the Barbaraks only to find the Zoanoids had been conditioned to completely blow her off and only listen to Zoalords who had been given access to command them...Its the best mental defense I could come up with short of there being a Zoalord present who's psychic powers surpassed Griselda's.

And yeah, we have yet to see what would happen in a direct confrontation between griselda and her troops and a Chronos Zoalord present to command his own (should be an interesting match).

I was gonna add high frequency blades and bio-blasters to Barbarak at first, but figured with body armor immune to high frequency blades it didn't really need to have high frequency swords itself, would just be a needless drain on its energy. As for the bio-blasters, same deal, not to mention that since the Barbaraks would likely be confronting the Libertus within Chronos bases, the Zoalords wouldn't want them to blow the place to hell with Libertus type bio-blaster weapons if they could help it, better to simply have energy shields capable of countering Libertus bio beams and kamikaze attacks instead, thus defending Chronos property and personnel from harm (and allowing them to fight back once the Libertus are done firing).

Anywho, the idea of something akin to an Enzyme III only designed to kill Libertus is rather interesting, but Gaster type bio-missiles wouldn't be ideal weapons for combat within Chronos installations (those be outdoor weapons). However, Gaster type liquid dischargers might do the trick, and I had thought of giving Barbarak the ability to spit acid in its enemy's face while grappling perhaps (that or pinpoint lasers that would be accurate but not vaporize an entire base).

Thanks for your input Sully, gives me ideas for more data files and improvements to Barbarak

Not exactly. The Libertus are a modified version of a Lost number. Shizu is their true master so she could lock them out. Point is he reached them and could have if not for her commanded them.

If we're talking in Fan-Fic terms. A Bio-Titan is Chronos's first wave of Zoanoids developed with the goal of contering the Creator forces. Overlords are not Zoalords and the Bio-Titan's zoanoids in the fan-fic can feel the difference between them and that of the Zoalord. the Bio-Titans also have a Zoalord designed to work with them. But basing your own ideas on that of a fan-fic is basically wrong, it's best to look at the source which is the 27 books.

So far Shizu hasn't be really tested. Valkus was distracted by what Guyver 3 was up to and got into a battle with him. In hindsight if Valkus instead had commanded his troops in person our used his Battle form "that is the last line of defence for Alkanphel" things could have happened very differently given that Guyver 3 wouldn't have being able to kill Wolfy without the Libertus giving him a needed short cut.

And yeah, we have yet to see what would happen in a direct confrontation between griselda and her troops and a Chronos Zoalord present to command his own (should be an interesting match).

The thing to remember Gaster type weapons doesn't mean the missles explode, they could be changed to be like darts with vibrational like tips so they break into the shin of the Libertus.

[Zoaknight]

Not exactly. The Libertus are a modified version of a Lost number. Shizu is their true master so she could lock them out. Point is he reached them and could have if not for her commanded them.

So it could be possible for a Supreme Zoalord to lock out Griselda from commanding his zoanoids just as she's able to do with her Libtertus? Or would the zoanoids need further optimization to pull that off?

Overlords are not Zoalords and the Bio-Titan's zoanoids in the fan-fic can feel the difference between them and that of the Zoalord. the Bio-Titans also have a Zoalord designed to work with them.

Yeah, I did try to base the abilities of the Barbarak based on what i already knew was possible from reading the manga, I just felt that the best possible defense against Griselda's telepathy short of a Zoalord with stronger telepathic powers than her would be to have the zoanoids mentally programmed somehow to ignore unfamiliar thought wave patterns so they don't betray their true masters against their will. I mean, if Arcanfel can mentally program Murakami, a Zoalord himself, to obey and look out for him without question despite still having all his past memories I figured something similar could be done for a zoanoid. I mean, Guyot and the other three traitor Zoalord show that Zoalords can have their own ambitions despite Arcanfel's overwhelming power over them (guess Arc can't control their minds as completely as he can in the fanfic), and yet Imakuram's direct psychic link to Arcanfel/brainwashing by Barcus has more or less eliminated the possibility of betrayal from his mind (at least when it comes to Arcanfel).

The thing to remember Gaster type weapons doesn't mean the missles explode, they could be changed to be like darts with vibrational like tips so they break into the shin of the Libertus.

I like the idea of bio darts that inject the Enzyme into the target's body, could give the Zoanoid sharp shooting type abilities and eliminates the danger of taking down the base around them with explosions (like how Gaster was told to stay behind in the control room since his bio missiles couldn't be utilized effectively indoors...too bad Aptom showed up lol :apt: ). I'm not sure about the vibrational tips though because though they would certainly be able to pierce the enemies hide they'd also likely go straight through them rather than inject the Enzyme as intended. Well, since Libertus lack defense shields or heavy body armor I guess just having a really sharp tip would be enough to get the job done. Another possibility would be to have the Zoanoid be able to secrete its anti-Libertus acid through its skin much like poison arrow frogs and fire salamanders do (thus making its entire body a weapon capable of dissolving a Libertus just by latching on to him & refusing to let go).

[Juggernought]

If you have 1 of the supreme 12 in the mix they basically overpower any other zoalord under their level and Alkanphel can overpower them all. The zoanoids can be optimized to answer to them specifically so that there is no struggle on the zoalords part to keep another zoalord from taking over.

I think that Guyot was able to get away from Alkanphel because Alk wasn't really trying to force the zoalord to hand over the remover, remember Guyot was just feeling the immense power coming from Alkanphel and he felt compelled to be obedient but without Alkanphel forcefully reinforcing that instinct to submit, Guyot was able to overcome it through will power.

The way Imakarum was reprocessed has yet to be shown but perhaps Alkanphel either recalibrated the zoacrystal sync with his own or he incorporated some of his own dna which would directly link imakarum to him. Who knows.
