PROJECT CHROME FANG

*For his older incarnation, see Varúlfur.*

One of PROJECT's most unsettling robotic creations was the vicious **CHROME FANG**. He is a cybernetic werewolf made from a man named Sion, who was brutally transformed into a wolf-like monster as a result of Zeal's experimentation, and later suffered again the same level of agony as he became a mechanised werewolf.

## Biography

### Creation

The infamous Varúlfur beast was cyber-formed into CHROME FANG. In 2915, the megacorporation decided to transfer his body into the MAXIMAL headquarters, specifically the secret testing laboratory beneath, taking advantage of his comatose state. It was a cruel and extremely dangerous experiment, as lab employees and engineers have pointed out that Varúlfur kills anyone who tries to confine it. He has, in reality, slain scores of workers who attempted to turn him into a robotic werewolf.

According to numerous sources, the megacorporation took seventy years to change him into a robotic werewolf since he is too predatory for regular staff to restrain and work on. As a result, they employed every resource at their disposal to successfully change the augmented beast into a robotic monster.

### A Predator among the riots

During the Riots of 2999, CHROME FANG was unleashed to kill any unwary enemy of the megacorporation. PROJECT CHROME FANG, released from the wastelands by a defunct PROJECT research cell, has been irreversibly turned into a terrifying new stage of ultranevian evolution—a weaponised monster devoid of remorse and designed for being the apex of all robotic predators. He was set loose by the megacorporation to demonstrate his ferocity, rampaging over Ruj to kill any of the megacorporation's opponents who seeks to orchestrate their downfall.

At one point, he comes across VI-516, who, in his past life; Was her adopted daughter. However, he clearly does not remember her, so he slowly attack her. She is unaware of his identity, but she reminds him that she has met her adoptive father, who was transformed into a werewolf-like beast. He shrugs and lunges at VI-516, but he was quickly overwhelmed with the latter's impressive skills, but he managed to gain the upper hand by disarming her and crippling her leg. However, he did not deliver a SAVAGERY killing blow to her.

As a result, VI-516 is perplexed and confused, with her gaining curiosity by the act. She concludes that the robotic beast must be her adoptive father.

### PROJECT-G/NEX War

In this war, CHROME FANG has been reported to commit disturbing murders all throughout the planet, similar to a killer animal that kills unsuspecting victims whenever they have desire to kill for flash, or when provoked by an enemy. Reports even confirm that CHROME FANG, is *eating* his own targets, indicating that it is a hybrid of a beast and a machine, rather than a full mecha that PROJECT has intended in his design.

#### Rampancy: Unsuspecting Teeth

During the events of Rampancy, CHROME FANG was unaware of the occurring incident regarding OBELISK and TAGGART. As a result, he simply commits genocide through innocent population in the illustrious Aryaine Kingdom and the deep depths below it, the Ruj itself. Social media on the planet backfired and various news outlets filed *numerous' complaints on PROJECT, due to the fact that CHROME FANG was claimed to devour their employees, or ripping them apart with his own sheer strength. Muldoon Lundgren was not even aware of his existence, however he simply counteracted the complaints by unknown means, presumably LILIAN-395 was ordered to suppress them.*

CHROME FANG's low profile allowed him to stalk his prey on the shadows similar to the cyborg ninja of the megacorporation. Even if he was a creation of PROJECT, his affiliation is only questionable. In fact, Command Line forces have gathered to investigate his presence and kill him when necessary. As a result, his identity to the public has been established and PROJECT deemed him as a: "A hybrid design undergoing combat testing." Unlike the previous designs, particularly the Titan-class mechas, it was taken lightly by the public and did not cause an outcry. Afterwards, Command Line soldiers then sent their best men to intercept his position in the ruins of Ruj, only to find nothing but rubble and ash. Thinking that the streets of the nation are clear, CHROME FANG leaps from a building, brutally killing sixty soldiers in the process, and was able to disable one armoured vehicle.

Owing to such horrible acts, PROJECT quickly covered up the robotic werewolf's incident as a failed combat testing that resulted in the injury of their own men. Muldoon Lundgren ordered his capture again, but they need someone from their warriors. However, VI-516 calls him, proceeds to insult him and his crimes before getting to the conclusion that she'll hunt the beast by herself. CHROME FANG has heard of the call in the building, as he perched from a discreet position and now seeks to kill VI-516.

#### The COALESCENCE: Unchecked Ravenousness

As the title suggests, CHROME FANG has developed an insatiable appetite for nevian flesh, eating whoever he comes across as a "suitable edible" in his perspective. Like in the previous events, He creates incident after incident, surpassing the total amount of carnage done by TAGGART, but this is due to his hunger for flesh, not the destruction of anything in his surroundings. In fact, COALESCENCE has attempted to defeat PROJECT through lawsuits, which have been partially successful; they have agreed that anyone who can destroy CHROME FANG and his Power core will be awarded ten billion credits. RUBICORE forces have taken precautions against his presence, to his chagrin.

As a result, he prefers to kill and eat people in the shadows, knowing that mutilated corpses in the dark will simply frighten any passing strangers. Muldoon Lundgren even tried to threaten him with his bounty via a call, but it had no effect; the robotic werewolf knows that his corporate soldiers, let alone PROJECT warriors, are no match for him. According to reports, he encountered Gray Wolf and attempted to kill him, but he managed to flee after being shot in the eye.

#### Going All Out: Nowhere to be found

Satisfied with his hunger for nevian flesh, CHROME FANG decided to take a break from his indiscriminate serial killings. He simply spends his time in the shadows of the Aryaine Kingdom, the snowy tops of Aryaine Kingdom, and the frigid nation of Avarshi, as those are the locations that can give him a low profile and live a life of solitary. He notably interacts with some wolves without killing them. However, Gray Wolf managed to spot him in Avarshi and proceeds to make a run for it, only to escape again and seek shelter in a poor seemingly less known country known as the Lanzana.

#### Technological Lies: A Deep Revelation

CHROME FANG and VI-516 decided to settle one more personal issue, by fighting to the death in their hometown of Zephina; in the violent nation of Ruj. Despite his hunger for flesh, he somehow avoids it and now travels to the country and waits in the shadows for the opportunity to catch her off guard, knowing that fighting by brute force against the Rujian knuckle-cracker is ineffective due to her fearsome NEVCORE gauntlets of pure strength. He simply waits, knowing she spends her time exploring. While spying her movements; He discovered that she went to her old house in Zephina. Reminiscing of her past life, her friendship with Benjamin, her lesbian relationship with Katherine and her deep bond with Purnell, her younger sister; However, he is quickly detected. In return, he finds VI-516 despite her best efforts to hide from him, and a brawl started.

The fight was long, strenuous and apparently bloody. The robotic werewolf attacked her with his claws rather than his strength, slicing her whenever she made a flaw in her fighting patterns, but the knuckle-gauntlets cracker's allowed her to efficiently hold her own against the beast, even pulling three fans out of her mouth. He was able to defeat her after disarming the gauntlets. He had sharpened his teeth with chrome-lined poison, intending to kill the rebel by eating her alive, and his body can apparently incinerate her flesh on the insides, seeing no interruption for his "suitable edible."

He has managed to break her nose with his claw, and cripple her leg. As a result, he tackles her to the ground, throws her gauntlets away and corners her for a killing jaw.

### Destruction: Ending the Hunger

He reveals his true identity. Sion. The adoptive father of both adoptive sisters. And his origins, stating that megacorporation took seventy years to change him into a robotic werewolf since he is too predatory for regular staff to work with, as he attempted to kill them due to sheer bloodlust; And lack of will due to attempted control. CHROME FANG also unmasks himself and reveals his hideously cybernetic face, with his mouth turned into a snout comparable to a werewolf that is embedded on his somehow retained natural head. Violet listens to his words before shrugging and proceeds to disassemble some of his mouth's components in sheer anger as she knows her adopted father was once a beast again in the past.

However, VI-516 just accepted the fact that he is a creature of PROJECT. He had no atonement, no more chances to reclaim her adopted daughter's love. As a result, he simply stabs her after finishing his sentence, as she is assaulting him. She paused her strikes in pain as she clenched her side, and he merely lies on the ground, wallowing in laughter, knowing that he had more carnage to wreak until he ran out of energy in his Power core. Hearing that laughter, the knuckle-cracker donned one gauntlet and proceeded to decimate him with one NEVIUM FIST at his face, decimating him for good, and JINX-362 was present to see it, and the sisters both wailed at his corpse.

## Personality

PROJECT CHROME FANG is a notorious predator that enjoys following and toying with his prey, as evidenced by his frequent sightings. As evidenced by his fight with VI-516, he formerly possessed a strong yet honourable mentality. He is loyal to the megacorporation as a PROJECT warrior and will not hurt any of its employees. Regardless, he supports the organisation by assassinating all enemies with unrivalled, animalistic cruelty. However, this altered during the events of *Rampancy*, and it exacerbated in *The COALESCENCE*, leaving him indifferent to his prior existence, with the only difference being that his cybernetic body can adjust the level of rage and adrenaline that he may unleash to chase his targets without guilt.

As a mechanical monster, the only thing CHROME FANG knows now is violence, and although he mostly seeks out heroes and rebels, he knows that nothing will satisfy his bloodlust.

## Abilities

CHROME FANG was designed to be the ultimate robotic predator. Because of his size, strength, and great speed, he can easily conquer his victim with animalistic brutality, exceeding the Meviksa Predator's rapid and agile style. Furthermore, his cybernetic body carefully controls wrath and adrenaline, and rage can be amplified by chasing his adversaries, when under the influence of it, he possessed an uncontrollable drive for killing his victims.

### Technological Capabilities

* **PREDATORY HUNGER**: His hunger to kill opponents results in an increase of attack power and slicing ability, especially when sustaining heavy damage. As a result, it is inadvisable to attack him at close range when he suffers extensive damages in combat.

* **CORPORATE BITE**: CHROME FANG viciously bites his target, causing them to suffer from haemorrhage and bleed to their deaths. No one has survived this.

* **CORPORATE HUNT**: When engaged, he identifies low-health damaged adversaries and increases his movement speed and agility by at least 125% if he finds one.

* **CHROMED HOWL**: Lets out a highly pitched howl that damages any electronic systems by causing an EMP blast.

* **SAVAGERY**: He leaps to an enemy, delivering 200 mph slashes until his target is destroyed or killed efficiently. When successful, it grants him a temporary boost of 200% in movement speed.

### Skills

* **Apex Predator**: CHROME FANG is the Apex predator among all robotic predators. Even the Meviksa's are inferior to him.

* **Master Combatant**: CHROME FANG is an extremely ruthless and dangerous combatant. Despite his little knowledge over combat, he is incredibly adaptive to all kinds of enemies, allowing him to attack them with a combination of unpredictability and aggressiveness, not being bothered when enemies have superior skills or strength.

* **Indomitable Hunter**: As a cybernetic werewolf, PROJECT CHROME FANG has unmatched capabilities in hunting down and killing his prey. This applies to all kinds of prey that he decides to track, through their blood or footprints.

## Trivia
