Gamound

***The Sunset General***

## Appearance

Gamound is a genius tactician but is aloof and loud, he ended up in his position by bureaucratic accident. His outfit is a more traditional army outfit, but with a half-cape and a pillbox hat. The giant gold G emblem/brooch is the symbol of his country. Gamound's aviators are his trademark, and is almost always facing West to maintain his glasses' sheen.

## Background

A military tactician with a flair for the dramatic and a penchant for troublemaking, Gamound is a wildcard in a stagnant nation of rampant bureaucracy. An unsung hero of the Great States, his promotion-by-clerical-error to general has led some to believe his successful defense of the Western border is merely a fluke, but his followers know otherwise. Gamound declared a new border for the Great States on lands belonging to the Empyreal Realm. He is a thorn in the Empyre's side, allowing the Allied Provinces continued existence because Etwal must fight a two-front war.

Expert tactician with a long view of the world. Has the presence of a loud, party-hard rockstar, with a big ego, larger-than-life attitude, and a belly to match. Always faces west, hence the shades. Believes in upsetting Etwal just as much as winning battles. Loves sandwiches, especially hoagies.

Near the end of the Five Nations War, he became unlikely allies with the Sector Authority's own Stell, who was sent down to the surface to capture the rogue war criminal Ryos. When that man showed up on Gamound's turf to make trouble for reasons unknown, Gamound and Stell engaged in a day-long battle to deter him. After Gamound matched wits with him in combat, Ryos and his partner Poppet were seemingly disarmed, defeated and expelled from the West Border's territory. However, on their retreat, the two accidentally awakened ELL-GEL-ION, the first Quadra Level robot seen in the war. A combination of Stell's brashness and Gamound's outside-the-box thinking led to its subjugation, with Stell's SOL-100 combining with it to create the massive AROZ-ELL-SOL, which accelerated the war to a close.

Gamound now spends his days relaxing in the sun as a war hero. The Great States' territory now reaches far into the Empyre's domain, and many Empyre citizens are happier for it.

## Robots and Abilities

Gamound is the pilot of the GMD-100, and the SSM-3000 (Sunset Mode).

One can tell that a robot is owned by Gamound simply by looking to see if they have sunglasses. He could have updated (fixed) the optics to deal with the western setting sun’s glare, but instead lives to piss off Etwal, so he chose to make a statement.

His Commander Ability is "**Steady Fire**", which gives all robots under Gamound's control Reroll 1 as long as they do not use their movement actions. This interesting ability promotes a couple of interesting team-compositions and tactics as robots which don't need to move shine under this commander. Additionally, robots that can move and push others away (such as GET-100 or IKA-100) allow Gamound players to get around their ability's restriction without sacrificing their Reroll. Suggested robots would include those with long-range capabilities, Arcing, and Push/Pull.

## Team Building with Gamound

Gamound is one of eight Commanders who came with a pre-built team in the AEGIS Core Box.

This team is centered around Push and Pull strategies, especially taking advantage of cheating around the "no-moving" limitations of mechanics like Heavy and Overload.

## Trivia

* Gamound was based on a mixture of *Advance Wars* characters and Coop from *Megas XLR*
* *"*Gamound" isn't based on any words in particular. The name was derived from a campus police officer at Becker College, where most of Zephyr Workshop is from. The character and person share no similarities.
* Gamound's face has been used as the AEGIS Facebook page's icon since the game's inception.
