"A unit of Egyptian foot-soldiers, 30 in total, made entirely out of electricity. Attacks with spears, but does damage using electric currents rather than physical force. As a result, its destructive power is relative to the conductivity of its target, and it can disperse its attacks at will." (In-Game Description)
"A quiet and composed intellectual. Shy and hard to get to know, you often read too much into what others say. However, when entrusted with something important, you'll pour your entire heart into it. You're a good listener, but like to argue for the sake of argument, matter-of-factly drawing your conclusions." (Personality Evaluation)

Author's Notes[]
In short, "someone who reads too deeply". The image of electricity expresses the tense personality of a person who is intelligent but refuses to give up on things. Electricity also represents the intelligence of mechanical civilization. While the user is not a bad person, they're the kind of person who gets angry at others for answering their problems with sound arguments.
