Description

Name: Clockwork

Real Name: Ghislain Ziegler

Age: Unknown, operational since WWII
Height: Unknown, stands tall and confident and almost shadows over most anyone, so presumed over six feet, bordering on seven.
Weight: Unknown, assumed extremely heavy due to metal body.
Eyes: Once blue, now a glowing red
Hair: None

Alignment: Lawful Evil (using the term Lawful loosely here...)

Appearance: A mechanized soldier with gears jutting out of his shoulders. His body is painted a dark blue, akin to that of a Nazi soldier's uniform. The lights that serve as his eyes are a blood red color, and his overall towering presence is chilling and mechanical. Has a tiny cuckoo bird from a cuckoo clock sitting in his chest, which goes off when he is enraged... the most terrifying cuckoo ever.

Personality: Driven. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goals of establishing complete order in the world, and removing all who would impede that order. Uncaring towards human suffering, any humanity he once had only shows when he is working on his machines, which he builds by hand with care and purpose. Hates Roma (ie gypsies) with a burning passion, to the point that he drops everything when he sees one and priorities their annihilation.

Base of Operations: Unknown, but has a fondness for ornate clocks... tends to spend his time around them.

Mode of transportation: Walking, marching, flight (he upgrades himself periodically)

Skills: Clockwork mechanics, planning, destroying his enemies...

Hobbies: Making clocks and mechanical soldiers, reading.

Powers:

Strength: As a mechanical soldier, his body is built to lift heavy objects, and is capable of tearing through steel with ease. The pistons in his arms allow him to hit HARDER than his specs would normally allow, meaning that he hits harder than he lifts and throws.

Durability: He can take a severe beating and keep coming back for more. Even A class metas should be wary of this mechanical brute's ability to take just as much as he gives and then some.

Flight: Thanks to some recent upgrades provided by the Reich, he has had jet boosters installed to allow him to fly at speeds exceeding Mach 1, fast enough to knock most metas off their feet... and possibly slice a human in half.

Mechanics: His body houses an array of weaponry, ranging from his usual choice of bludgeoning fists to flamethrowers that can melt steel beams to mustard gas cartridges. He was designed not for just war... he was designed to slaughter, massacre, and bring about mass genocide... and he's armed with the tools for that job.

Weaknesses:

Meticulous: His mechanical mind is one of utmost order, his order. Anything that defies it is immediately made a priority, even in the midst of battle.

Hatred: He HATES Roma. Everything takes a back seat to the eradication of the "filthy, time wasting vagrants".

Structural flaws: This machine has a few structural weak points that can be exploited... and his own weaponry is stronger than his body.

Backstory:

Ghislain Ziegler was once a clock maker in Germany during WWII. He was known far and wide as the best at his craft, making wondrous pieces that tell time and he devoted his life to the order and structure his mechanical beauties provided. Despite this man's kindly demeanor, he was also very distasteful of the Roma, who he called "filthy, time wasting vagrants", who served no purpose in the grand order of things in his mind at the best of times, and at the worst he viewed them as societal parasites. One day, a romani child entered his clock store, and while he wasn't pleased with the child's presence, he didn't see the harm in letting the child browse... heck, he may even buy something from him. Those hopes were dashed quickly when the child accidentally bumped into a wall and caused a cuckoo clock he made to crash and shatter against the ground. Enraged at seeing his lifework destroyed, he grabbed a broom and chased the child out of his store... but he was so focused on the child he didn't see the Nazi wagon in time, and was run over. The man survived, but lost his arm in the process. No longer able to make clocks like he used to, his business soon went belly up, and the man's dislike for the Roma turned into hatred. He eventually managed to build for himself a mechanical arm, and began his hunt for the gypsies. As time went on he endured more wounds, and as time went on, those broken pieces were replaced with more mechanics. The Nazis soon took notice of this raging mechanical man and offered to assist, replacing the rest of his organics with mechanics. But the hatred for the Roma people never died... it burned brightly, so much so the Nazis found him beyond control. So he was deactivated and locked away in a crate, never to be used again.

Fast forward to the present, where his crate sits in a small warehouse in Angel Falls... a warehouse the Fourth Reich plan to raid... the mechanical monster known as Clockwork will once more become active, and his world of mechanized wonder will become a reality... as soon as all Roma have been eliminated from the equation.

Clockwork is a villain who will soon be causing havoc in the :iconangel-fallsda: universe.

Special thanks to :iconsoviet-superwoman: for use of her Fourth Reich as well as input. Another thanks to :icondistractthemonster: for their input and support.

Hope you like... or hate... this new villain! He's going to be trouble for Romani, that's for sure!

Neat, reminds me of Metabots a bit.
