Canon Resource Links:
Canon LinkCharacter Info Geo Metro was born and raised on Autozam. Like the name implies Autozam possesses a culture that is centered around mechanics and technological advances. A notable difference between their technology and that of other planets is the use of mental energy. A myriad of devices quite literally follow directions issued straight from the users mind, simplifying the entire command interface. Unfortunately, this technology is not without its drawbacks. Since the people have become so dependent on machinery their planet suffers from pollution. Left unhindered the problem could escalate to a hazardous level and possibly the planet’s own demise.
Geo has been categorized as a fighter, and apparently an adept one at that. Due to all his hard work, and dedication, he was appointed the second in command on the warship the NSX, serving under Commander Vision. The subcommander also pilots his own mecha, named GTO. Similar in design to Eagle’s FTO, the GTO is a bit bulkier and not able to maneuver as swiftly. While one is built more for agility, the other was built for raw power.
During his younger years, Geo made the acquaintance of the President’s son Eagle Vision. The two formed a long-lasting friendship which continued into the present. As a Fighter, Geo was undoubtedly impressed with Eagle’s skill and determination in the tournaments. It was during one such tournament when the unthinkable happened. Eagle’s mecha, the FTO, was defeated in battle (by a foreigner no less). The man hailed from a nearby planet called Cephiro, his name was Lantis. The three began spending time together and growing a friendship. It was not to last.
When the pillar perished in Cephiro, Lantis swiftly left for home, and that country became open to attack. The pillar had been the one that protected the country with the sheer force of her will. Now all those protections and barriers were gone. In an operation to halt their own country’s collapse, it was decided to launch a mission to take the Pillar system from Cephiro and from it learn how to retrofit their own system. The information Lantis had willingly provided to Eagle served to be invaluable. The betrayal caused Geo some pause, but his loyalty to Eagle and his wishes wouldn’t allow him to deviate from the mission. One thing was for sure. If the commander was going, then he would follow.
The journey to Cephiro was rather uneventful until the ship was in range of the other invaders and the resistance forces of Cephiro itself. Chizeta, and Fahren had also decided to conquer this neighboring planet for themselves, adding to the controversy and the urgency of the Autozam mission. With their superior technology, the Autozam crew managed to reach Cephiro first where three young girls known as the Legendary Magic Knights were waiting to oppose them. Having heard that those from Cephiro could alter their ages at will it was no less of a shock to be approached by ladies of their age, which later were revealed to actually be the ages they looked and not from Cephiro at all but from another planet entirely.
The first exchanges between the FTO and the Magic knights rune gods (living mechas), were merely to gauge the strength of the defenders and to analyze their weaknesses. The girls although dedicated seemed to attack without a battle plan or a strategy in mind. This led to the inevitable capture of Hikaru Shidou. She was treated more like a guest once aboard the warship, though the necessary security precautions had been taken. Later, their old friend Lantis appeared in hopes of rescuing the girl reigniting a pang of regret among those that knew him personally. That would not however halt the invasion. Far from it. As data continued to pour in, it wasn’t long before a formal invasion was planned and enacted.
During the battle for Cephiro castle, both Geo and the commander donned their respective mecha and engaged the Rune Gods together. The strategy involved removing the healer, and the rune god with the most speed, so the FTO could race past the remaining one. Everything went according to plan until Eagle was captured. During Eagle’s incarceration, Geo was pensive the entire time. Despite the stress and strain involved he still managed to command the ship in the meantime, including engaging the forces from Fahren in battle.
When Eagle finally returned, Geo was sure to express his displeasure about the whole affair but just because Eagle had returned there was still more work to be done. Seeing Lantis and the Magic Knights in peril in the battle with Nova, Eagle took reckless action to jump to their aide. It was during that battle that Eagle might have died.. (Might because he’s from the canon point just before Eagle would have died).
Personality:
Geo is loyal, dedicated, hardworking and very approachable. For the most part the subcommander is easy going and jovial but he also has a protective and serious side. He tries to look out for other members of the NSX crew, especially where Eagle is concerned. When it comes to Eagle, Geo seems to have a special understanding of how to interpret what is not being said by the commander. In that regard he’s observant, but that also comes with having known the man for such an extended period of time. He especially enjoys teasing Zazu, the NSX’s young head engineer, and the two seem to have a amicable and close friendship.
Geo tends to be very open, honest and forthright with others unless sharing such information would endanger the crew or his loved ones. That being said, Geo’s face often betrays him, as his expressions reflect what he’s thinking or feeling better than anything else. He tends to react first, ask questions later. That’s not to say that he is unable to keep secrets. After discovering that the commander is suffering from a terminal illness, he is able to keep this fact from the rest of the crew, Zazu in particular.
He seems like a simple man with simple tastes. His love for both sweet snack foods, and cooking is a well known fact to those that know him best. He also possesses a sense of humor and enjoys teasing those around him though he doesn’t always pick up on the punch lines directed at him. When he’s upset he will either lash out verbally or physically. The latter reaction is never directed at another person, so many an inanimate object bares the imprint of the subcommander’s fist. He can be a bit excitable.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths:
- Geo is a skilled fighter both in his mecha and out of it. Physique-wise he is of a muscular build, works out regularly, and is in good health. Consequently he excels in hand-to-hand combat, and using a beam saber (It’s like a blade made form light) which come as standard issue in the Autozam army.
- The country he hails from is rather technologically advanced in the use of machines and mental energy. Though he is not as skilled as the NSX’s engineer Zazu, he knows how to work a variety of devices and run the ship in the Commander’s absence.
- Although Geo may not give the impression of being clever person, in reality he is. He isn’t second-in-command for nothing and he is able to think rationally and come to important decisions when need be.
- Another one of his strengths is that he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty. He’s hardworking, dedicated and able to focus on the tasks laid before him.
-He’s adept at cooking.
Weaknesses:
- Eagle. The commander is Geo’s greatest weakness. The two have known each other for so long, Geo would do almost anything to protect Eagle even if it’s from himself.
- He can underestimate his opponents. When it first became known that the Magic Knights were only little girls, Geo expressed some aversion to engaging them in battle. The Magic Knights were perfectly capable of fighting however due to their appearance and suspected age the subcommander had his doubts.
- Geo also holds a weakness for sweet snack foods. They are among some of his favorite things and he usually keeps a spare box in his possession.
- He doesn’t always handle stress well and can be quite moody when issues pile up. Sometimes this will lead to either a verbal outburst or punching a wall.
- His kindness towards others can also be a weakness. Being a good-natured sort, Geo doesn’t always take necessary actions against others.

Samples
First Person Sample:
[Video]
[The feed begins with the sight of a man tucked snuggly in a twin size bed when he’d clearly be more comfortable in a king. The figure begins to stir, eyelids flutter, before he bolts upright. Gripping the bedspread tightly he exclaims]
EAGLE!!!!!!!
[The name is laced with shock and abject horror. Glancing to either side, its as if he hasn’t truly awakened yet, the scent of smoke starts further clouding his thoughts.]
We’ve been hit?!
[Given a few more moments Geo became more aware of his surroundings. This décor certainly didn’t belong in his quarters nor did anything resemble the interior of the NSX. So where was he, where was the smoke coming from? Shaking his head he collected himself.]
This-this must be some kind of illusion. [There had been rumors about the power that could be found on Cephiro, an illusion was not out of the realm of reason. Not able to risk that the fire was also an illusion, he hurried out of the room and headed downstairs. The smoke only got thicker as he neared the kitchen. Drawing a rag out of his pocket, he held it over his mouth to stifle and cease the coughing. None of the other crew members were on the scene-that meant it was going to be up to him to put out the blaze. Busting into the kitchen it was a relief to find that the fire had yet to spread, still licking the sides of….. an oven? Utilizing the available materials he managed to finally snuff the thing, and was left to examine the original cause..]
..Cookies? Who would be baking cookies at a time like this!?
[In a fit of anger he threw the tray hard against the floor, the scattered remains of the cookies decorated the kitchen tiles. Now that the immediate danger had passed he was free to recall the last thing he’d witnessed before arriving here… which he finally had decided was not aboard the NSX. Pressing his hands to a set of cabinets, he leaned forward.]
Eagle…
[The fate of his long time companion weighing heavier on him than being thrust into an entirely new world]
Third Person Sample:
Finding a quiet place to sit just outside of the town, Geo slung the backpack he’d been provided with on the ground beside him. His mood hadn’t improved much between his initial arrival and now. What ws he supposed to think? Supposed to feel? Back in Cephiro, the commander had been engaged in a climatic battle, one that had possibly cost him his very life. Gritting his teeth, Geo tried to force the possibility from his mind but-that explosion had been so violent. Could anyone have survived it? Could the FTO’s armor have withstood it? One thing was for sure, it didn’t look like he’d be leaving this new reality anytime soon. Brooding about the possibilities wasn’t going to grant him any answers, and if Eagle was still alive…
“I need to get back… now,” There was firmness in his voice. He needed to get his act together and approach this as calmly and rationally as possible, as impossible as it seemed. Eagle needed him. Looking toward the bag, he took a renewed interest in it, swiftly undoing the zipper and dumping out the contents. “What is all this stuff..?”, A manual, a multicolored ball, some clothing and other supplies tumbled out carelessly. Rolling the ball back and forth in the grass, he decided to pick up the manual instead. Taking a moment to flip rapidly through the pages, he then tried more earnestly to read it. The contents didn’t make much sense to him. All this talk of pokemon but it felt lacking. There was no information on how or why he was here now..”.
“They really expect us to do all this? That’s going to take more time than I have..” He started to place the items back into the bag. Chances were he wasn’t the only one to find himself in this predicament. He was going to have to try questioning the others people nearby. Upon picking up the round, multicolored pokeball he accidentally pressed down on the middle button. A noise alerted him to look down at the ball. It was cracked open now, “That was strange…”
A bulbasaur suddenly stood right in front of him. Geo noticeably jumped.
