**Etherow** (エスロー, *Esurō*) is a Regular Frame who works with Titania in attempt to stop the Rebedoa Empire. He is of the White Diamond Beam, [Hide Spoiler] which was destroyed and killed of by Rebedoa[Show Spoiler], for which he swore to make Rebedoa pay.

## Appearance

Etherow has light brown hair and thick winter gear to withstand the cold climate of APOSIMZ. Due to an apparent malfunction during the transformation stage (likely caused by Yiyu), his right eye stays in frame form. To avoid people mistaking this for Frame Disease, he dons an eyepatch.

## Personality

Etherow is relatively serious, with sarcastic quips from time to time, and ruthless towards threats.

Deeply values his home (the White Diamond Beam), even prioritizing it and it residents above the entire world.

## Plot

Etherow was leading a small group through the Ruins for combat training and ended up gathering food provisions instead since it was rare to find spectacular pipe fruits growing in big clusters. As they were going back, Etherow saw something in the far distance, a girl was running away from Rebedoan soldiers. They hid, but as the girl got shot, Eo came out trying to help her and the soldiers attacked him too. Etherow then having no other choice, killed the soldiers with his assault rifle.

They took the girl (now a small automaton), returned to their castle at the White Diamond Beam, and explained the situation to Zezo. Knowing that Rebedoa would find them, he decided everyone would be migrating from the castle early in the morning. A bit later, Etherow spoke with Deina and apologized that they will need to move, knowing that she loved that castle. But Deina assured him that was fine, as he protected everyone. Later again, while he was tinkering with his firearm, she walked in and told him he should take a bathe since the hot water pipes would be turned off, but he refused. Yet Deina didn't accept that answer and told him he needed to take the opportunity since they didn't know when they'd get hot water again. Etherow then went to take bathe, but accidentally saw Biko naked and quickly left.

As he sat up in bed ready to sleep, Shio asked him not to blame himself so much for everyone having to migrate. By time he woke up, they were already under attack by Rebedoa and Shio was dead across from him. Realizing he was missing his left arm, Etherow tried to stop the bleeding and went to look for others only to witness Eo getting killed. He was then approached by Zezo, who gave him the small automaton (Titania), AMBS, and told him to join up with Deina and the others by heading for the escape route as they did, deciding that he alone would fight Rebedoa off since Etherow would just get in his way after he armors up. Etherow did catch up to Deina and the others, but they too were already dead.

With Zezo and a few others captured, Yiyu started slowly killing people to make Zezo tell him where "it" was. Etherow then tried shooting into his right eye (the only weak point) from a distance with his sniper rifle, but Yiyu blocked the attack with his ice ability and then shot Etherow in *his*right eye with an ice spike. As Etherow laid dying, Titania accelerated his brain's processing speed and offered to save him by turning him into a Regular Frame. Etherow enthusiastically agreed. After transmutating, he didn't understand how to armor up and could barely move, so Titania protected him from one of Yiyu's attacks. As Yiyu was about to crush him with a giant ice block, Etherow managed to armor up and caught it before tossing it off the platform. He then started fighting Yiyu rather unsuccessfully before using his firing system ability (the EBTG) and putting a large hole in the right side of Yiyu's chest, but since he exhausted his haighs particles and Yiyu was more enraged than weakened, he ended up falling deeper into the Ruins unable to maintain proper form.

Etherow had spent 90 days in a coma with Titania looking after him. After waking up and learning how much time had passed, he immediately started returning to the White Diamond Beam's castle, but Titania insisted he first recover his strength, placenta and haighs particles to be able to repair his skeletal structure. Before he turned back, they were attacked by a Face-Gnawer and Titania passed out after killing it. While consuming part of it to regain their strength, Titania explained the Central Core World and the Emperor of Rebedoa's ambition.

Once Etherow fully healed and regained his form, they returned to the White Diamond Beam only to find everyone dead and Zezo barely alive with severe brain damage preventing him from regenerating. Etherow spared him from his pain and then buried all of the deceased, promising he would "make Rebedoa pay for this" and asking Titania to join him. To which, she thanked him.

As he traveled with Titania, they visited a small town, there a ship with Rebedoan soldiers came and and since the town failed to provide their quota, they killed a person. As they were to kill a second, Etherow attacked and killed them all. Shortly after, a larger (dun dun) ship was sent with Eichi on it. Before they even started fighting, Titania got captured and in the end Etherow used an AMB to both defeat Eichi and destroy the ship, freeing her.

Etherow and Titania reached a new town, they disguised themselves, but as they entered, some soldiers inspected Etherow and though his eye was a frame disease and took him. He was temporary put with people with frame disease and later transported to an arena, where Eime and Eile were observing. They announced that that winner will get a wish granted by them and released an automaton in the arena. The automaton was killing some people who tried to run, but as it was about to kill a kid, Etherow jumped and saved the kid. After that her armored up and killed the automation. As he won, he made his wish, to fight Eime and Eile right away. They started fighting two on one, but Eime and Eile were too fast. With a bit of help of Titania, he managed to shoot one of them, but then got shot by enemy anti-placenta weapon. He got saved by another Regular Frame Keisha, who chased after Eime and Eile who went on their ship. He followed them, there Keisha had killed Eime and was about to be killed by Eile, but he shot her and saved Keisha. Then they quickly left the ship, as it's self destruction was activated.
