Fuga: Melodies of Steel

Taranis is not a mech, which is logical, but a vehicle, or rather a tank, and at the same time it is abnormally huge, very similar to a moving house with guns, since it has not only its own rooms, but also a kitchen, a farm, a living room, a workshop, and a mysterious room, located near the Soul Cannon.

## Origin

Taranis himself came from the 3rd dimension. According to Juna, the Taranis was first created during the tumultuous last age of mankind. With the advent of the Titan Machine, the same monsters that once awakened Bruno, and then Baion. many nations have tried to find a way to deal with them without collateral damage. This led to the creation of Taranis, which was eventually inserted into the AI, Jeanne, as part of its functions. It was named Taranis after the Celtic God of Thunder.

In the end, he fought Vanargand and defeated him with a Soul Cannon, sending his core far away from his main body. Around the time this happened, Yurlungur activated the Reboot, wiping out the human race and sealing the entire Titan Machine in the floating land masses. Taranis was also sealed off, swallowed whole by the cavern.

Taranis' artificial intelligence, Zhanna, was split into two halves: an older, more logical voice on the radio, who was nonetheless overwhelmed with the desire to kill Vanargand once more, and a younger, more empathetic hologram of light that put the lives of her crew ahead of her. Total.

Consumed by the desire to prove herself, Radio Woman created the legend of the Steel Devil (Taranis) and the Lost God (Vanargand) and manipulated Shvein Hax Machine to awaken Vanargandr once more so that she could kill him again, making her entirely responsible for the game's tragedies and disasters. These manipulations also led the Bermans to create their own Devil, Tarascus, on Hux's orders. He then got the kids together to drive a tank and coaxed them into chasing Berman's army to save their families. Her true motives were revealed when they confronted Tarasque, revealing her true colors as a sadist, eager to defeat her old enemy.

During an attack by the Berman Empire, six children, seeking shelter, found a tank that was the largest in existence. Taking it for piloting, they fired back at the enemies, after which they were moved first to the main dimension, and then to Cephiro. They realized that they needed to save their parents. Soon they received help from the Alliance, moving to their dimension and there they continued their fight.

## Abilities

As the largest tank in existence, it is capable of using 6 different guns at the same time, and they change every time someone sits behind the cockpit.

### Radio

Inside Taranis is an old-fashioned radio that serves as a form of communication for Jeanne's other half. Through this, she encourages the children to keep moving forward and sometimes insists on using the Soul Bombard.

### Machine gun

Light rapid fire weapon. Effective against small enemies.

### Heavy cannon

Heavy cannon and the strongest of all 3 types, but the chance to hit with it is quite small.

### Shell Festival

All types of guns are activated and simultaneously shoots in all directions, thereby causing great damage to several enemies.

### Soul Cannon

The most powerful component of Taranis is the Soul Bomb, which requires the sacrifice of a living creature to use. She can only be used when she and her team are in extreme danger.

To activate the Soul Cannon, the victim must prepare to enter the Soul Bomb chamber in the basement, which can hold one space. When her door opens, sounds are heard that are similar to the screams of past victims. As soon as the victim sits down and closes, Jeanne announces the readiness to strike and activates the automatic targeting function. Bio-energy radiates from the weapon mount. The Soul Bomb rotates, first taking on a vertical shape and then aiming in the same direction as Taranis' front weapon. As soon as this happens, the bio-energetic tendrils spread throughout the weapon, which extends the grooved barrel and begins to glow. On command, the weapon releases a powerful beam of light, which is powerful enough to knock Taranis back. Depending on the source of bioenergy that charges the Soul Bombard, the tendrils and beam can have different colors.

However, upon meeting a stranger, he granted the ability to use the Soul Cannon without sacrificing anyone.

### True Soul Cannon

In the final fight with Khakos, when all team members are assembled, they activate the "True Soul Bombard", which becomes several times stronger, and the color of the beam turns golden.

## Trivia

It's not a reference to Hawke's Moving Castle, is it?
