Character Name: {BP-601} Gunmax
Canon: Brave Police: J-Decker
Canon Point: post episode 39
Is your character Dead, Undead or Alive: Alive. Technically.
History: Once upon a time in THE FUTURE (or at least in an unspecified year SOME TIME in the 21st century. (somewhere said 2020 so we'll go with that?) technology got crazy awesome and people were all OH SHIT YES because advanced technology kicks ass and makes people's lives easier and shit. Sweet ass technology also meant that evil villain types were somehow going to be able to get a hold of all kinds of money and start building evil robots and machines and shit and start causin' all kinds of ruckus and breaking laws because that's just what villains DO. Also aliens for some reason. So how does Japan respond? By building GIANT ROBOT POLICE of course what else did you expect. Well actually the police Commissioner Saejima decided the police needed to build robots. Because it was cool (probably the actual reason).
These giant robot cops are known as the Brave Police. They're lead by a fourth grader in booty shorts named Tomonaga Yuuta, and he only got to be in charge because he 'power of friendship'd' the leaderbot Deckerd into being "pretty much human" sentient rather than just normal artificial intelligence robot sentient. THUS his AI evolved into "Super AI" and then all the robots after him were equipped with it. Here's a handy dandy link to a tiny wiki with little basic character summaries. Most of the series pulls that monster of the week shit and introduces new team mates and the good guys always win because FREINDSHIP AND TEAMWORK. You know how it goes.
Gunmax doesn't show up until like half way through, and when he does, he's a prick. He was either built in America and shipped to Japan, or some asshole programmer thought it would be funny to program him to speak random English sometimes for no reason. Most likely the former. Anyway. Prior to his introduction, Gunmax had been a highway patrol officer, partnered up with a human officer named Kirisaki. They were BFFS and life was awesome, and Gunmax looked up to and trusted his partner. At one point, Gunmax had pulled over some jackass motorcycle gang member on his own, and learned from him that Kirisaki had been selling police weapons and other equipment to said gang. Gunmax was surprised that his partner was pulling bullshit like that behind his and the highway patrol's back, but he still wanted to trust his partner to do the right thing. He didn't report Kirisaki's actions, hoping that he would turn himself in.
BUT HE DIDN'T. Instead, some other unnamed officer ratted Kirisaki out and he was fired (instead of y'know ARRESTED or something? Whatever anime.) Gunmax insisted that he hadn't been the one who tattled, but Kirisaki didn't believe him and instead swore revenge on Gunmax in true bad guy fashion, saying that he would make Gunmax 'feel his pain'. Bitter about Kirisaki's actions and betrayal and all that good shit, Gunmax turned into a great big asshole with great big trust issues.
Sick of Gunmax's asshole bullshit, the highway patrol shipped him off to the city, where Gunmax continued to be an asshole. He first shows up while Deckerd and Yuuta are chasing a shitty vehicle (called a doublebot, it had some evil giant microchip attached to the bumper) down on the highway. The pair of goody-two shoes boy scouts were trying to be all careful about it to avoid causing an accident or something, but Gunmax fuckin wheelied his ass in, took out the doublebot and sent it crashing through a barrier into a river. Naturally, not-asshole good guys like Yuuta and Deckerd were pissed off over Gunmax's reckless behavior and told him as much. Gunmax literally laughed it off and drove away, displaying a distinct lack of fuck's to give. He rolled up into giant robot HQ later to get more information, where Saejima announced that Gunmax was going to be an official member of the Brave Police. Since Gunmax pretty much stood there for five minutes insulting everyone, the general consensus was basically "fuck no that guy's a prick we don't want him". Gunmax didn't really seem to care because fuck the police.
Eventually Gunmax tracked some greasy hippie to a scrapyard. Turns out the greasy hippie was behind the whole doublebot thing. OR SO THEY THOUGHT. ANYWAY, Deckerd rolled up too, and the two of them ended up saving each other from junky car robots. Gunmax proved that he wasn't a complete prick, but he was still a pretty huge prick about insisting that saving Deckerd was just paying Deckerd back for saving him. They caught the hippie and took him back to HQ where they discovered that the REAL badguy had been the crazy futuristic automated garbage sorting facility ALL ALONG and that it had been building evil doublebot henchmen out of old cars and shit. Gasp.
Gunmax took off on his bike by himself to stop the thing from making more doublebots, and everyone else got pissed off. He was stopped from entering the facility by ninjabot aka Shadowmaru, and the rest of the team caught up. Being the biggest asshole in the universe, and still wanting to get into the place solo, he snatched Yuuta up and basically used him as a tiny human shield so that the other robots wouldn't try to blast him out of the air or something. Gunmax tried to ditch Yuuta since he didn't actually want to get the little bastard killed or anything, but being a goddamn FRIENDSHIP IS POWER spewing shounen hero boy type, Yuuta followed him. Gunmax was annoyed but Yuuta was determined to POWER OF FRIENDSHIP him into not being an asshole. At one point Gunmax's motor controls ended up damaged by BADGUYS (because Yuuta distracted him by being stupid and getting captured by doublebots) in the facility, so some sadistic fuck tossed him on a bigass conveyor belt that slowly rolled him towards a bigass smelter. Meanwhile the other Brave Police had infiltrated the facility too but fuck them. Just when Gunmax was about to bite it, Yuuta broke free of his captors and jumped on Gunmax (risking his tiny human life in the process of course), fixing his motor controls and saving his shiny metal ass.
Since Yuuta had successfully POWER OF FRIENDSHIP'd him over by putting his own life in danger to save him, Gunmax decided to give that whole not being an asshole to people thing a try.
Later on it was revealed that Gunmax could turn into a GIGANTIC FUCKING CANNON if he combined with his bike that would be usable by Deckerd in his J-Decker mode. That's fucking awesome, right? WRONG. Still possessing a sack of trust issues, Gunmax straight up refused to take the cannon form, insisting that he wouldn't trust just anyone to pull his trigger.
Yeah I know how that sounds.
Pictures from the highway patrol started popping up, depicting Gunmax riding with a biker gang. Whenever he was confronted about it, he'd just brush the questions off and take off on his bike. Because that was mature. Finally Deckerd had had enough of his bullshit, and handcuffed himself to Gunmax insisting that he'd follow him until he finally stopped being an asshole and decided to talk about whatever the fuck was going on. Gunmax was pissed and decided to ride off on his bike anyway, but this time he couldn't really shake Deckerd since he was all handcuffed to him. So they went on a road trip and stole gas from some old dude because Deckerd was dumb and forgot to gas up. Yeah these robots run on gasoline. Meanwhile it was decided by some police prick that if Gunmax was out blowing shit up or whatever and riding with biker gangs that CLEARLY he had to be dismantled because THAT'S NO GOOD. Yuuta was having none of this and did what he does best: cry like a bitch.
Cut back to homosexual innuendo bots. Gunmax had convinced himself that that other Brave Police wouldn't give a flying fuck if he was dismantled or something because he WAS kind of an asshole. Deckerd made Gunmax a bet; he was going to use his little communicator thingy to eavesdrop on the Decker Room (aka giant police robot HQ). If everyone was worried about the two of them being missing and shit, Gunmax had to stop being a bitch and tell Deckerd what his deal was. If not, then Gunmax was going to skip town like a boss. Needless to say Deckerd won so Gunmax told him all about his bullshit with Kirisaki when he was still with the Highway Patrol. It turned out Kirisaki was faking photos and adding Gunmax to them to make it look like he was running with this gang and shit. He must have some pretty amazing photoshop skills, just saying. Gunmax had been running off because he wanted to clear his name by himself, and he hadn't shared the information because he wanted to spare innocent little boy Yuuta the knowledge that an ex-cop was such a corrupt asshole. Aw what a bro.
And oh shit speak of the Devil, Kirisaki showed up OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE with an army of remote controlled motorcycles. He was pissed off that his little plan to get Gunmax booted from the police had ended in EPIC failure, so what does he do? If you guessed "combine his motorcycle army into a giant robot and attack a couple robots who just happen to be sitting in the woods handcuffed to each other for some perfectly explainable reason", then you're absolutely correct and you watch some weird shit.
And as to be expected, Deckerd had successfully POWER OF FRIENDSHIP'd Gunmax into trusting him. Gunmax turned into the cannon and let Deckerd pull his trigger (yes insert eyebrow waggle here), blowing up Kirisaki's dumb robot and winning like badasses. Kirisaki was arrested and they all lived happily ever after.
And then there were a bunch of goofy monster of the week battles where robots transformed and some British robot rolled in after Deckerd died for a little while thanks to some dickbag named Victim O'Rand and his evil robots called Chieftains, but he got better. Shit blew up and it was pretty cool.
The only other really GUNMAXcentric thing was this case involving stolen cars and the Brave Police's head mechanic Toudou Shunsuke. Some crazy bitch and her weird butler sidekick were stealing fancy cars and shit to sell to rich assholes. Meanwhile, Gunmax was a reckless asshole and wrecked his bike, and then decided that he needed a new one rather than just having the old one repaired. Toudou nagged him about being so careless with his machines and pulled this YOU CAN'T JUST REPLACE THINGS LIKE THAT talk about vehicles and whatever. Turns out Toudou was REALLY into classic cars, and since he just happened to own one, it was decided that he would be used as bait for the crazy car stealing bitch. The plan kind of worked until not only Toudou's car, but Toudou himself managed to get captured by the car thief since Gunmax kind of sucked shit at protecting him. With his bike still being repaired and Duke and Deckerd, the other Brave Police on the case, ALSO being repaired, Gunmax said fuck it and took off to save Toudou on foot by himself. WHICH HE DID. Kind of. Except that Toudou had decided not to escape by himself when Gunmax made an opening for him, instead staying to help him until Duke and Deckerd finally showed up with the repaired Gunbike to help out. And then they blew up the bad guys and arrested them the end.
And yes Gunmax had once again been subjected to the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP. This seems to happen to him a lot. He and Toudou formed something of a father-son relationship. Well. As close to one as an old dude and a giant robot could get.
Also Victim came back, and was revealed to be an android that was built by some prissy douche named Nueva. This guy had some serious mommy issues, since his mommy was kind of sealed away for running insane tests on people while trying to perfect her sentient AI technology shit that she invented. It was fucked up and the Brave Police got their asses kicked by more Chieftains. Oh and Victim was turned into a giant robot too. Long story short the good guys won because of Yuuta's amazing ability to summon the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP in pretty much every situation. Including talking aliens out of fucking with Earth. It even magic'd the robots into having actual souls. That happened too.
Personality:
As mentioned about five thousand times already, Gunmax has some lingering trust issues thanks to his ex-partner Kirisaki's betrayal. In an attempt to protect himself from further EMOTIONAL TRAUMA or whatever, Gunmax turned into this cocky asshole with a sarcastic streak that runs deeper than a plumber's buttcrack. He's a master when it comes to giving bad first impressions, and can be rude or downright insulting even to people he's just met. He comes across as indifferent and selfish in that 'looking out for number one' sort of way, which is what caused so much friction between himself and the other Brave Police right off the bat. The fact that he was so blunt and opinionated didn't help matters either. He's a guy that knows what he wants, and will do whatever he feels like to get it, such the time he used Yuuta to make sure the other Brave Police wouldn't follow him into the garbage facility. DICK.
It is possible to gain his trust, it just isn't easy. To those who have managed it, Gunmax is still something of a sarcastic asshole, he's just not aggressive about it. He is capable of being perfectly friendly, said friendliness just involves a lot of teasing. After dealing with Kirisaki's bullshit and later being won over by Yuuta and the other Brave Police, he understands the importance of loyalty and the whole POWER OF FRIENDSHIP TEAMWORK thing. That doesn't mean he won't still run off on his own and try to do things in his own reckless, property damaging way from time to time. Even so, he cares deeply for those he considers his friends, and trusts them to watch his back. He's even gone out of his way to spare people's feelings, such as not telling Yuuta about his ex-partner because apparently the thought of a corrupt cop could have upset the kid or something, even though it created an even bigger mess for himself.
He also seems to like confusing the shit out of people by dropping random English phrases pretty much whenever he feels like it, but that's less "asshole" and more "weird quirk".
Items on your character at canon point:
-BIGASS robot sized magnum
-BIGASS robot sized shotgun
-Gunbike, his motorcycle.
Abilities, Strengths and Weaknesses:
Gunmax is a giant like 17ish foot tall robot that rides a giant motorcycle (Cleverly named "Gunbike"), and he kicks ass at it. He's also shown to have sweet shooting skills with a giant robot sized magnum and shot gun (Yeah, these robots don't even get lasers, it sucks). Even while riding said motorcycle. Try aiming and riding at the same time, I dare you. While all the other Brave Police have different vehicle modes and shit they can transform into, Gunmax says FUCK THAT because he is clearly too cool to become a tank or a dump truck or something. Instead, he's able to combine with Gunbike and wear it as armor. FLYING armor. He can also combine with the bike to form the giant ass "MAX CANNON", which... can't actually do anything by itself. It can only be equipped by Deckerd when he's in his bigass J-Decker mode because it kind of attaches directly to his body and there's no innuendo implied whatsoever. (J-Decker is just Deckerd combining with a bigass police...truck thing. Looks kinda gundamy). And then shit blows up. He has been shown to be able hack his way through electronically locked doors with a little metal proddy thingy that extended from his wrist.
Even though he's gotten accustomed to working with a team, he wouldn't have a problem with being self sufficient while he's away from them. He's extremely stubborn (which really could be a good OR a bad thing)and has a great deal of self confidence. When he does end up making friends, he's actually pretty good at the whole team work thing, and even following direction. To a point, anyway.
Admittedly, Gunmax kind of physically sucks without the bike. He's slimmer than the other Brave Police so maybe he isn't as durable and that's why he needs sweet armor. I dunno. Basically unless he manages to find his GIANT MOTORCYCLE some day, he's pretty much useless. That on top of his bad attitude, impulsiveness, and lingering trust issues are pretty much going to guarantee that his life is gonna SUCK in this lovely box. Oh, and he also runs on gasoline which could be super inconvenient seeing as there isn't much of THAT laying around.
Samples
Network/Action Spam Sample: BOOM sample
Prose Log Sample: (recycled from another game because i am hella lazy)
Now that Gunmax had finished making a lovely first impression for himself, it was time to get down to business. Whatever the hell business ended up being, considering he wasn't entirely sure how to even start going about information gathering in a place like this. He was no Shadowmaru, but he wasn't bad at information gathering. He was a cop, after all, kind of came with the job description. But it was one thing to do it on Earth where shit wasn't batshit insane (most of the time, anyway) and another thing entirely when one was in the most bizarre place ever trying to make heads or tails out of... much of anything, really.
The easy answer for his little info gathering issue was asking around, but Gunmax wasn't exactly the most people friendly robot ever built. That on top of his already crappy mood suggested that he'd probably end up pissing people off rather than getting any constructive info out of them. To his credit, at least he realized that he was a little too irritable for a civilized conversation, at least for the time being. Since chatting with alien robots was temporarily on the back burner, he figured that he might as well start exploring.
Step one was going outside, getting out of this overly fancy joint he'd regained consciousness in. Step two would have been gawking at how impressive outside was, if not for the fact that he'd caught sight of something familiar out of the corner of his optics. Was that Gunbike? He made a beeline for it, and a closer look definitely confirmed it. He had no idea how it had gotten here, and some chucklefuck had apparently seen fit to knock it over on it's side but hell, he wasn't going to complain. He was too relieved to see that something was finally going right for him to really get too bent out of shape over something like that.
He set the motorcycle back up and inspected it for damage. Finding none, he let himself relax a little. Just a little. He was still on a strange planet surrounded by people he knew fuckall about, after all. He couldn't afford to let his guard down, for all he knew it was just him and Gunbike against the world. The really big, metal world with creepy robe guys. He was no stranger to riding solo, at least. It sucked not knowing if anyone he knew was around, but he was sure he could adapt to the lone wolf thing again easily enough if he had to. He wasn't about to start trusting these weirdos right off the bat.
Ah well. On the plus side, at least he wouldn't have to explore this place on foot now. Too bad Gunbike only had enough fuel to get Gunmax totally lost before running out.
...Yeeep. Gunmax was one hundred percent Done With This Shit already.

It can only be equipped by Deckerd when he's in his bigass J-Decker mode because it kind of attaches directly to his body and there's no innuendo implied whatsoever. (J-Decker is just Deckerd combining with a bigass police...truck thing. Looks kinda gundamy). And then shit blows up. He has been shown to be able hack his way through electronically locked doors with a little metal proddy thingy that extended from his wrist.
Even though he's gotten accustomed to working with a team, he wouldn't have a problem with being self sufficient while he's away from them. He's extremely stubborn (which really could be a good OR a bad thing)and has a great deal of self confidence. When he does end up making friends, he's actually pretty good at the whole team work thing, and even following direction. To a point, anyway.
Admittedly, Gunmax kind of physically sucks without the bike. He's slimmer than the other Brave Police so maybe he isn't as durable and that's why he needs sweet armor. I dunno. Basically unless he manages to find his GIANT MOTORCYCLE some day, he's pretty much useless. That on top of his bad attitude, impulsiveness, and lingering trust issues are pretty much going to guarantee that his life is gonna SUCK in this lovely box. Oh, and he also runs on gasoline which could be super inconvenient seeing as there isn't much of THAT laying around.

Now that Gunmax had finished making a lovely first impression for himself, it was time to get down to business. Whatever the hell business ended up being, considering he wasn't entirely sure how to even start going about information gathering in a place like this. He was no Shadowmaru, but he wasn't bad at information gathering. He was a cop, after all, kind of came with the job description. But it was one thing to do it on Earth where shit wasn't batshit insane (most of the time, anyway) and another thing entirely when one was in the most bizarre place ever trying to make heads or tails out of... much of anything, really.
The easy answer for his little info gathering issue was asking around, but Gunmax wasn't exactly the most people friendly robot ever built. That on top of his already crappy mood suggested that he'd probably end up pissing people off rather than getting any constructive info out of them. To his credit, at least he realized that he was a little too irritable for a civilized conversation, at least for the time being. Since chatting with alien robots was temporarily on the back burner, he figured that he might as well start exploring.
Step one was going outside, getting out of this overly fancy joint he'd regained consciousness in. Step two would have been gawking at how impressive outside was, if not for the fact that he'd caught sight of something familiar out of the corner of his optics. Was that Gunbike? He made a beeline for it, and a closer look definitely confirmed it. He had no idea how it had gotten here, and some chucklefuck had apparently seen fit to knock it over on it's side but hell, he wasn't going to complain. He was too relieved to see that something was finally going right for him to really get too bent out of shape over something like that.
He set the motorcycle back up and inspected it for damage. Finding none, he let himself relax a little. Just a little. He was still on a strange planet surrounded by people he knew fuckall about, after all. He couldn't afford to let his guard down, for all he knew it was just him and Gunbike against the world. The really big, metal world with creepy robe guys. He was no stranger to riding solo, at least. It sucked not knowing if anyone he knew was around, but he was sure he could adapt to the lone wolf thing again easily enough if he had to. He wasn't about to start trusting these weirdos right off the bat.
Ah well. On the plus side, at least he wouldn't have to explore this place on foot now. Too bad Gunbike only had enough fuel to get Gunmax totally lost before running out.
...Yeeep. Gunmax was one hundred percent Done With This Shit already.
