Well after I put up the Karl Shubaltz shrine I received a ton of emails
from fans of Raven. I was literally getting a browbeating for the lack
of a Raven info. Yikes...don't hurt me...here it is. Enjoy!
A BOY MISUNDERSTOOD?
|
Just what happened in Raven's (not his real name) life that made
him hate all Zoids so intently?
Raven's home is the Blue Planet which lies far across the Milky Way. His
parents were scientists and went to Planet Zi to study organoids.
It's quite possible that Raven disliked his parents spending more time with
Zoids than himself (just a thought). Raven admitted he disliked Zoids to his
father. Shortly after, from what it appears, Raven's parents were killed after
(spoiler) Ambient emerged from his capsule.
After the death of his parents, Raven was found by Van's father and the
Wind Colony's priest. The young boy was traumatized and unable to remember his name.
They had also found an organoid capsule containing Shadow. Unfortunately,
Prozen sent in his troops searching for organoids
as well as organoid information. A Republican soldier tries to destroy Shadow's
capsule rather than let the Empire have it. In Prozen's anger he orders his
men to destroy the Wind Colony. Raven was again abandoned when Van's father is
killed protecting the village from the attack (this may be the reason he harbors a
hatred toward Van...analytical, aren't I?). Unwilling to return to the Empire
empty handed after Shadow escapes, Prozen takes the young boy. He names him
Raven after his jet black hair. Prozen finds Raven amusing and
trains him to be a lean-mean fighting machine (I always wanted to say that).
At the end of his training Raven is awarded Shadow and sent out to do Prozen's
bidding. Raven causes continuous mass destruction for the Republicans until
Van is able to defeat him.
In Guardian Force, Raven seems to wander aimlessly destroying military bases
until the fateful day he comes face-to-face with Van. With the Genosaurer and
Shadow, Raven proceeds to seek revenge against his nemesis....Van.
Eventually, Shadow and the Genosaurer evolve to the Geno Breaker causing
even more destruction. Hiltz, rather deliberately, put a stop to that when
he destroyed Shadow with the charged partical gun of the Death Stinger. Now
it's just wait and see what happens.

I'll get you for this, Hiltz!

Well hope you liked it. Again, let me know if I have made mistakes. I'll
probably get flamed for this, but it's my site so I'm just gonna say it.
I don't give a damn what happened in a person's past or upbringing, there
is absolutely no (nadda, zip, zilch) justification for taking the lives
of innocent people!!!
