The zeroeth post, created to circumvent the first three posts and allow the robots to make complicated moral decisions.

[b]Alias:[/b] No alias given
[b]Age:[/b] Unknown
[b]Gender:[/b] None, but programmed male
[b]Species:[/b] Android

[b]Residence:[/b] No residence given

[b]Physical Description:[/b] 

A humanoid battle machine with midnight blue and black coloration over its armored frame.  It is generally 6'5", but exceptions apply in reference to necessary/available replacement parts.  Take its estimated height at somewhere around human.  The build is that of an athletic warrior, in most cases, allowing the machine to be able to take a reasonable amount of hits to the armor before any part of it breaks down, while also allowing it to be dodge-capable, as well as very wiry and flexible in close-quarters combat.  It is well-balanced and highly-capable with gyro-stabilization built in to physically adapt to every bump and scrape it encounters.

The arms end in five-digit hands capable of breaking human bones and that of similarly-durable species, requiring either heavy armor or an extremely strong body to resist this and indeed cutting into the flesh with its clawed fingers.  The legs end in three-toed feet that automatically adjust to terrain as needed, so as to minimize slowing down.  All four limbs are completely articulate and have a high-degree of coordination, the level of which is achieved usually by martial arts masters.

On the back of the android is a high-powered engine with thick blade-like wings that also contain small engine ports.  This is a powerful and compact flight-pack capable of propelling Zen over long distances or short jumps.  It is about the only way that one can hope to keep up with a Shinespark user, and it is difficult for a lifeform to master the use of the full speed of this equipment without special training...or in Zen's case, programming.  For any lower speed, it's fairly-straightforward.  The main engine keeps him aloft, and the wing engines alter the direction mid-flight for aerial maneuvers.

The head of Zen is slightly aerodynamic, and has only three red eyes in front, side by side...by side.  Presumably, the head carries an auditory and speech center there, as well, but no obvious external apparatus can be seen for that.  The eyes may operate independently of the other's directions to allow for them to cover a full range of sight, though he is not designed to see behind his own head.


[b]Personality:[/b] 

He has one, yes.  It is understandable that one would not think that a machine would have much on its mind beyond programming, but that is the difference between a functionary robot and a complex android.  For himself, Zen is a highly job-oriented machine that is most adamant about pleasing his creator and holding himself in his lofty ideals of becoming a perfect security device.  He has been programmed to accept all forms of battle doctrine and security measures, fighting style and weapon usage, and all things between in order to fulfill the goals of protecting intelligent life from outward threats.  He is capable of very intelligent reasoning and even measures of self-sacrifice.  And while Zen is not a creature capable of emotions, it can be said that he is a [i]driven[/i] being, that he does not operate simply on cold, hard logic, but also - and this was the main idea behind his name - zen reasonings.


[b]Equipment/Cabilities:[/b] This is a basic spec-sheet of Zen's 

[i]Laser Weapons[/i] - There are small black reflective panels on Zen's body that conceal laser emitters.  The arms and legs each carry two, in the wrist and shin areas.  There are two more on the chest.  They are primed for rapid-fire, but may fire sustained beams after a quick charge for three seconds.

[i]Beam Eyes[/i] - Zen's three eyes are each capable of independently-sustainable beams, or just quick laser bursts.  They are highly-accurate and focused to the point of being able to break through armored doors.  There is no question of what effect this has on other heavy-armor targets.

[i]Electro-Claws[/i] - His hands and feet can be electrically-charged, causing a target to receive shocks on every physical impact with him.  This allows for a target's reactions to be slow in reaction while Zen continues to kick ass or make use of another weapon.

[i]Tesla-Blades[/i] - A pair of retractible short swords that slide out from the top-wrist areas of the arm.  They each hold a high-heat electro-charge capable of burning right through some targets.

[i]Pulse Weapons[/i] - Two of them, hidden in the lower-wrist area.  They create physical burst shots, similar to being hit with a battering ram, but in energy form.  Can damaged armored targets and jar open locked doors with these weapons.

[i]Flight Pack[/i] - As stated before, this flight pack of a high-powered engine and its engine wings is attached to Zen's back to give him a high-powered flight capability, with extreme speeds able to be met after a brief charge-up.  It should be noted that while the speed may be equal to that of a Shinespark, it does not create the energy that surrounds a target under that influence.  For Zen to break through a physical barrier like that, he must use his physical strength alone.

[i]Full Sensory Suite[/i] - Zen enjoys a full range of senses to take in all aspects of an area, its harzards, its enemy targets, and to examine them with great scrutiny.  Part of his learning system is the ability to take all details into account and compile them into new tactics and adaptations for later use.  He is prgrammed for all human senses, while also being able to see in different spectrums and scan for life signs, energy sources, heat in general, and so on...all of which is mapped on his mass-density tactical system, which is his main source of understanding his physical surroundings.

[i]Zen Craft[/i] - Similar to the vessel given to Samus Aran after she wrecked her original craft before the BSL Station Incident, but cast in blue.  This vessel is a special support craft for Zen that synchs with him perfectly.  Not designed for human occupancy or other sentient life forms.

[b]History:[/b]

Zen is an acronym title for the Zenigawa Enforcement Network, designed and built by a scientist, Dr. Oda Zenigawa, for the express purpose of creating a self-directing security system based on his higher ideals of protecting life in the Galactic Federation.  The exact nature of this creation is not known to the public, though the doctor himself is known to be a man of wisdom and indeed one of the foremost developers of AI technology within the Federation.  He is essentially beyond reproach, in terms of credibility.  All of his past work has led to several advancements on the technological end of society.

The good doctor has, however, passed on.  After years of dedicated service to the Federation, Zen will represent his final accomplishment, that of a self-sufficient android capable of higher reasoning and self-adaptation.  Dr. Zenigawa leaves his creation as his legacy, and his creation has become dedicated towards fulfilling his life-long goals.  The only real question is whether or not Zen will get his chance.  This mission is his shakedown test, to explore his full capabilities.
