Harpuia

Basic Info

Basic Info
Name: Harpuia
Nicknames: Guardian of the Fierce Sky
Species: Reploid - Old Generation
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10
Weight: 160lbs

Normal Appearance

Harpuia's armour is coloured green, symbolising his alignment with wind and lightning, and his design appears to be derived both from the Harpies, wind spirits from ancient Greek mythology with bodies of eagles and the heads of women, and the Valkyries, female spirits from Norse mythology who led the souls of deceased heroes to Valhalla. Harpuia's name itself is the ancient Greek word for Harpy. Harpuia more closely resembles a Valkyrie in his Reploid form. His helmet is mounted with wing-like extensions that bear resemblence to a Valkyrie's helmet, and short wing-like thrusters are mounted on his back, which he uses for flying. He wields two identical energy-based swords, which presumably represent talons, and has the ability to summon whirlwinds and lightning bolts, marking his elemental parallel with the Harpies and the Valkyries respectively.
