Lichkeit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lichkeit, short for Persoenlichkeit, is a fictional robot in the Super Robot Wars series. It has appeared as an enemy unit in Super Robot Taisen Compact 2 trilogy, Super Robot Wars Impact, and Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation 2, but made playable later on in the games.

[edit] Appearance

Persoenlichkeit (German for personality) is one of the machines created by the Einst. The body of the Lichkeit is one of the few Einst machines with a definite, human shape, its body clad in red and white biomechanical armor formed over green, vine-like cables and wires emanating from a central point within. The plating on its forearms, shoulders, and knees bear strange, skull-like shapes, with hollowed eyes and long horns, like the heads of demons; adding to the demonic visage is a pair of demonic skulls hovering around the Lichkeit at all times -- its familiars.

[edit] Technical And Historical

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In battle, the Lichkeit is a dangerous foe. Like other Einst units, it is capable of instantaneous teleportation in order to strike quickly; however, unlike most other Einst, it is designed to battle individually rather than as a collective. Its high speed is bolstered by the use of a large katana, with which it can create waves of supersonic force, as well as a variety of energy blasts which emit from the eye sockets on its armor and from the mouth of the Lichkeit's head, when it reveals its true face: a snarling beast.

However, the Lichkeit is not only a battle unit, but a life support system for its controller, the Einst-human hybrid, Alfimi. Alfimi uses it as her means of searching for Kyosuke Nanbu and Excellen Browning, two individuals with whom she has a strange connection. It also acts as her grave; while freeing herself from the control of the Einst Regisseur, she helps her former enemies to destroy its evolved forms, the Neu Regisseur and Stern Regisseur. With the Einst leader destroyed, all Einst elements in the universe begins to fade from existence, including the Lichkeit and Alfimi, as she cannot cannot survive outside the machine she was born in.
