Bismarck • King of The Ocean [Arpeggio of Blue Steel]

A battleship that brought fear and despair with just the mention of its name. A pride of a nation, a beast made of steel. A sign of power, a show of force. First built by Germans in 1939 as the flagship of the Kriegsmarine. Built to annihilate any opposition, sink any adversary and spread terror across the seven seas. The rightful owner of the throne, the king of the ocean... Bismarck... A war machine with a reputation that precedes its fierce power. But the throne now lays in lonely silence, awaiting the king's return. Many ships have come and gone to sink the defector, but all failed. His guns have not gone silent just yet...

-Dividing Super Graviton Cannon — a weapon of mass destruction that Bismarck carried over even to his upgrade hull. A special variation of the conventional SGC with higher power output and the ability to spin and divide into tens of smaller blasts of supercharged gravitons. Its power became even higher after the merge with Tirpitz.

-28x2 37mm Positron AA Turrets

-40x4 20mm Positron AA Turrets

-Wave-Force Armour

Flagship Equipment:

-800cm OWP Positron Shock Cannon "Der Hammer" — Bismarck's Flagship Equipment is a rather unorthodox type of special weapon's platform located in high orbit around the planet. The OCP stands for Orbital Weapon Platform, which it largely is. "Der Hammer" as it has come to be called, is largely just a structure built around a massive positron accelerator that acts as the barrel of the weapon. "Der Hammer" is a very agile yet slow-charging super-weapon, capable of erasing a continent the size of Australia with a single shot of its 800cm barrel. The weapon has never been put to use at full power yet as its immensely destructive power has been largely unneeded. It has its own Wave-Force Armour or Klein Field which is constantly active to not only protect it from space debris but also to make sure it can't just be shot down. Its length stands at around 800 metres. It bears the logo of an Iron Cross on its side, a symbol which Bismarck adopted since its inception. Bismarck has yet to establish a connection with it.

-Positron Shells — the previously characteristic feature given to only Tirpitz, now in Fleet of Fog's most infamous defector's hands. This special ammunition replaces the conventional photon armament of the warship and grants it greater performance in battle. Positron ammunition is the best AP shell in the Fleet of Fog, and as such, it takes far less fire from these weapons than from conventional photon cannons to saturate even a battleship's Klein Field. With Bismarck's now much larger calibre of guns, the rate of fire is even slower than it would usually be, but the destructive power is larger. A worthwhile compensation in his opinion, after all, why bother prolonging the battle and evading when you can just sink anything with one or two salvos?

Appearance: Bismarck's hull underwent a massive overhaul, not only in its general weaponry and equipment but also in its visual appearance. The now even larger battleship kept its naturally striking primary black colour, but the Iron Cross which previously decorated Bismarck's fore and aft has been replaced by the logo of the Blue Steel Fleet. The colour of the markings has also changed from red to purple, as a mixture of red and blue. The vessel itself is also much more massive, appearing as a larger version of Bismarck's previous hull.

—Mental Model—

"I will sink the false usurper and take back what is rightfully mine, the throne."

Name: Bismarck

Age: ???

Alias: King of The Ocean, Beast of Steel, Flagship of The Kriegsmarine, Metal Ripper, War Machine, The Great and Terrible Leader, King of Cowards, Bon-Bon

Appearance: Bismarck's original appearance changed only slightly, his dark hair remained the same as has his body, it's his clothes that underwent a change, albeit a minor one. He no longer wears the overly decorated Kriegsmarine uniform and instead opted for a dark suit coupled with a long black trench coat. Bismarck also wears a pair of black boots that reach just below his knees, his black pants are neatly tucked into them. He wears a noticeable belt with a silver Iron Cross on its centre. His tie is crimson, but unlike before, his eye colour changed from red to purple.

Personality: No longer the heartless war machine many of the Fog and human alike have come to know, Bismarck had taken on the role of a cute little girl's caretaker/dad. Indeed, the girl is none other than Makie Osakabe and Bismarck holds her in high regard, she's smart, cute, and most importantly, sympathetic and open to other people. This of course means that Bismarck has to make sure that Makie's naive nature doesn't get the best of her, but it's nothing the male mental model can't handle. His interest in novels is apparent, his favourite one being about one certain British detective from the 19th and 20th centuries. Whether it's surprising or not, probably is though, Bismarck may have started to slowly develop affection for another Fog mental model, a female one of course. He's unsure what he intends to do about it in the future, but for now, it doesn't seem too bad...
