After the release of the album "Japanese Extreme Metal Art" (do read our review), now seemed the perfect time to catch up with Kazu for an exclusive chat to discuss all things DEATHROLL.
Find the article here.
The Phoenix Squad – This group, led by Jedi General Zhara Starr and her Padawan Trysta Sheelal, are specialised Jet Troopers and Blaze troopers.
Finally finished the designs for my boys so I can get to writing x-x Feel free to click the read more if you want to know about their personalities. I’ll probably be posting designs for their Jedi general and commander sometime soon :0
CT-5972 | Fisher – Captain of the 408th Clone Legion, also known as the Phoenix Squad. Fisher is always a calm and collected leader and this often rubs off onto his troops, which is quite useful considering several of them are quite rash and eager to run head first into danger. He’s an excellent swimmer and once managed to catch a fish with his bare hands, earning him the name Fisher, which is rather appropriate considering his patient nature.
CT-3489 | Drover – The lead medic of the 408th Legion. He’s about as friendly as a slap to the face and has no sympathy for any blaze troopers who manage to get any accidental burns. He was given the name Drover after complaining that looking after all his brothers was like herding Tookas. After a certain incident with Deathroll he developed a mild fear of swimming and will avoid going in the water wherever possible. Is 100% done with reckless brothers and Jedi running into battle and getting themselves shot and will offer them no loving bedside manner.
CT-2195 | Arson – As his name suggests he’s a bit of a pyromaniac and was assigned to the Blaze Troopers after accidentally managing to set the barracks on fire. He’s the group’s resident demolitions and weapons expert, always tinkering with some of their weapons to see if he can improve them. He’s the youngest of their squad and prone to getting into dangerous situations because of his tinkering hobby. Often changes the colour of his hair to other warm shades but always keeps his mohawk constant.
CT-4421 | Thrasher – Is known for the rather unsightly burn across his chest and face that he received during his first battle when a droid shot his flamethrower, causing it to explode and badly scorch his body. He has his hair grown out long and dyed red – he gets help from his Kaleesh commander to braid his hair so that it fits under his helmet – and has got into more than a few fights with Drover over cutting it shorter. He’s best buddies with Deathroll and the two of them rarely stray from one another’s side.
CT-1213 | Deathroll – Is a more excitable trooper, always eager and ready to get into a fight. Once accidentally dislocated Drover’s arm when they were cadets trying to show him what a deathroll manoeuvre was. He’s known for being a very hands-on fighter, enjoying tearing apart his opponents with his bare hands whenever he can. When with Thrasher and Arson the three of them are known for causing quite the ruckus and more than a few headaches for Drover.
