Skater

*"Remember, team, a well-maintained Skater is a reliable one."*
―Ammon Dorber[src]
**Skaters**, also known as **skateboards**, are one of the means employed by mutants to transport themselves between locations. They are used in Crodela, a sport game popular in the United States of America.

Skaters are electronic, which allows it to fly and for users to ride on it safely. Over time this technology has gone from being simple and primitive, to being more complex in nature. For example, modern skaters are versatile and come with cushions, which are retractable in specialized versions.

When Baby Intelligence fell off his skater, it didn't fall to the ground but instead drifted away and smashed into a wall, suggesting that it may be able to keep flying without a rider.

Known models include the Metalwing 3, Metalwing 4, Metalwing 5, and of course, the Electroflame.

## History

### 2020s

When war erupted in Provo, Emily Watson went to the outdoor hangar of Tower Placement School to retrieve her personalized Skater, intent on fleeing the massive battle between the Armies of Organa and the Girl-Team. Watson was waylaid by Steven Thompson, Summer Petersen, and Vincent Organa, and barely escaped onto the safety of her Skater. The Skater left Tower Placement far behind, heading for a rendezvous with her friend Helen McKeen in Thunder Quarters. She rarely used it afterward, preferring to get around on her lioness mount, Spearhead. During the Attack on Earth, several members of the Union of Ladybugs got hold of a set of heavy-looking Skaters and soared through the air.

### 2030 International Crodela Cup

Template:ExpandsectElectroflame was forged by Bruce Wright within Quality Crodela Amenities while he instructed Baby Intelligence and Lindsay Kellerman. Wright noted that it was the finest Skater he had ever made. Baby Intelligence put it to good use throughout the remainder of the International Crodela Cup.

## Models

* **Electroflame** - A world-class Skater. It was the fastest at the time of its production, and was released in 2030 exclusively to Baby Intelligence of the Holy Mackerels.
* **Metalwing 3** - Produced as part of a successful line of products. It helped ensure that its manufacturers would stay as leaders in their field of business.
* **Metalwing 4** - Produced as part of a successful line of products. It was very popular. After passing a series of tests in January of 2030, Baby Intelligence came into possession of a Metalwing 4. This was arranged by Ammon Dorber. He rode on this Skater in every Crodela match he played in until April. After the S.M.S.B. narrowly escaped an attack on the MBH, they were unable to return because Hell Burnbottom had occupied the mansion and it was taken over by NoHeads. While he was out, Baby Intelligence forged a new Skater, though he may have kept his Metalwing 4 as a memo if he ever recovered it at all.
* **Metalwing 5** - A world-class Skater capable of unprecedented speed and control.

## Behind the scenes

Culturally, Skaters seem to be analogous to bicycles for the Fobbles. This can be seen in the variance of builds, capabilities, and incorporation into professional sports, as well as it being normal for mutant children to have toy skaters, similar to how fobble children play on tricycles and other beginner-level bikes in their youth.
