Rika F. Exia, beginning scouting of the Nexus Park quadrant.
================
Rika F. Exia is a mecha girl within the same production line as Oda_L_Yuy, though younger. Taciturn, introverted, and wholeheartedly against war, she believes there are key disturbances that prevent the world from coming together in peace and harmony. She has labeled specific people and/or forces as a source of conflict towards the world's path to peace.
Rika has little tolerance for diplomats and politicians, believing that their negotiations only prolong wars and cause more strife (due to personal experience). She feels she has a strange vendetta to settle with Oda, though what this could be is unknown since they were both created by the same organization, as well as programmed to be compatible with one another. As a side effect, Rika's battle capabilites are heightened when Oda is mentioned, though this means that the younger mecha might be more excitable than Oda.
How Rika got her present personality is thanks to programming: seeing how Oda turned out, the organization decided to make Rika stoic by default to avoid any emotional damage that could potentially prove detrimental to her development. Still, she ended up developing a number of odd likes, such as a love for mass amounts of potato chips and apples for eating. She also has an odd weakness for dogs and dog-people, whether they be demis or anthros. It's said that these odd likes were entirely thanks to a glitch in her mental programming, though routine debugs find nothing.
In battle, she uses these:
{GN Beam Saber}
Mounted on the backs of her shoulders. The beam saber is a hilt with the ability to activate beam blade by generating a positron field filled with GN Particles and Might Runes. While they are generally stronger than GN physical blades, one disadvantage is their performance varies depending on the surrounding atmospheric conditions, such as submergence.
{GN Blades}
Named as GN Long and Short Blades respectively. These are Rika's customized physical swords that differ in size from the main GN Sword (see below) and took the longest time in her arsenal to develop. Because the GN Sword has difficulty doing damage without a certain amount of swing and space due to it's size, these were designed in order to give Rika physical blades that can be used in a variety of situations that the GN Sword has difficulty with. It possess the ability to cut through 2 meters of conventional E-Carbon armor, as well as most high-grade magical barriers.
{GN Shield}
A shield mounted on Rika's left arm. It possesses an "expansion" mode where the left and right blue sections move outwards and increase the defense area the shield covers, but the drawbacks of this mode are increased particle and Guard Rune consumption as well as a decrease in the overall defense property of the shield due to the increased area that GN Field element covers.
{GN Sword}
A physical GN blade attached to a miniature forearm shield, which serves as Rika's primary (albeit favorite) weapon, and the largest blade amongst the Five Swords. It works by applying a GN Field and Might Runes over the physical sword which greatly increases the sharpness and cutting power. The blade can be vertically folded along the forearm, exposing the muzzle of a beam rifle.
{Trans-Am System}
A feature directly hooked up to her respiritory system and GN Drive. Under normal operation, the GN Drive generates particles at a preset rate while excess GN Particles are stored in Rika's body. When Trans-Am is activated, the GN Drive operates at full power by releasing all of the stored particles and increasing the GN Drive operation rate to its maximum output. These released GN Particles saturate her body, which renders a glowing pink-reddish hue on her being. When using Trans-Am, Rika tends to leave afterimages. These afterimages normally confused by people seeing them as the Rika-shaped GN particles, but in fact they're oscillating GN particles at a speed much higher than the speed of electricity. From this, it is speculated that mecha equipped with Trans-Am system have extreme high speed and maneuverability, along with unlimited bursts of accelerations. This improves her defense and at the same time, increases the amount of thrust produced. Overall, Trans-Am increases her speed, attack and defense by 3 times her normal specifications. Yes, three times.
UPDATE: Comes in A Wakening of the Trailblazer flavor! ...Kind of. See Rika_Elsannia for details.
Another production in the hangar of ZergAlts. There are a few jokes related to roles played by seiyuu (voice actor) Mamoru Miyano scattered throughout this page. Can you find them all?

I... am Gundam. But what is that...?
