Sol Guarder

*"I’m breathing easy, for I'm truly the victor!"* - Sol Guarder's catchphrase, believing in his desired outcome of a battle

**Sol Guarder** is a superhero from Earth-ET. His alias is **Red Argus**, an android who was created by his friend Bryce Franco. He was first introduced in the story, *Breath of the Metallic Sun*.

## Biography

#### **Origins**

Red Argus was born under the name Red Arguste (*Arr-gus-tee*). He was a friend of Bryce Franco since childhood. During high school years, Red was offered to join Robotics Club with Bryce but rather draw robots as his friend had gotten inspirations from them. During a hike after high school attendance, Red had gotten into an accident where his arm was stuck from a big boulder. Using a knife, he broke free and fell into a hidden river, where he lost consciousness.

#### **Becoming Sol Guarder**

Years later, Red's body was salvaged and utilized by Bryce, who became an employee at *Yonder Innovation*. Red was revived into a cyborg who can turn into **Sol Guarder**, with a removable right arm which is a morphing gadget called the **Flare Fist Gauntlet**.

#### Possessing a Giant Form

Sol Guarder was reluctant to maintain a giant form under the fear of destroying property and hurting living things while fighting monsters created by his archenemy, Calm Thunder. When a foreign cyborg from the Obedient New Earth came around, Sol Guarder was stubborn until his inventor came in search for him. With a new gadget and a few adjustments by Bryce and his development team, Sol Guarder successfully activated a giant form, called the **Nova-T Form**.

## Abilities and Fighting Skills

Using the *Flare Fist Gauntlet*, Red can transform into Sol Guarder, a solar-powered warrior in orange armor. His fighting skills improve as he counters crime. According to his inventor friend, Sol Guarder can slightly burn his opponents.

## Personality

Not much is known about this hero, but according to Bryce Franco, Red was passionate for hiking and robot designs.

## Etymology

**Sol Guarder** is a unique formation of three words describing the hero's role and motif: **Solar**, **Guard** and **Soldier**. Sol is a shortened for Solar (in relation to the Sun) and Guarder is a hybrid mix of Guard and Soldier. Therefore, the persona name is meant to entail an "android soldier who is powered by the sun." **Red Argus** is an anagram for his alter ego.
