Weaknesses: Easily distracted, suffers from a stigmatism, almost obsessive note taker, doesn’t know about the creature mecha. Appearance: King Bob looks like he was brought right out of legendary tale of heroism. He's tall without being overly so. He's fit and muscled without looking brawny. His perfect winning smile had been known to quell even the most stagnant of opposition. His gray eyes show caring and compassion for all, but show that he is no shrew to be tamed and taught tricks. His near white hair gives him a distinguished look without looking over the hill. Bob always looks good in anything he wears, but always looks at his best in uniform. The Tou royal colors of dark gray and gold always look snazzy on this leader of the Tou people. Sometimes he can be seen with a cigarette in hand, but it's only for show. Outside he wears comfortable reflective purple sunglasses while walking about with a confident 'I've got things under control' air. Personality: Has a short temper when called ‘Your Highness' and 'My Lord’. He bops people on the head for calling him either. Correcting them in private with "I'm the King! Not a Lord or some high and mighty pagan god. Remember that next time." He hates the diets the queen and royal kitchen staff put him on saying a fat king is bad for the kingdom's image. He constantly moans about it when he's on one. Generally a nice guy, but has been known to let his devious streak shine though in rare moments of need. Even though he loves his family and the people at court dearly, he knows that everyone is out to make him, or his family, a political puppet for their own ends. He's never above making an entrance or exit in some memorable fashion. History: He was once a knight in the service of Tou, well known for his inventiveness and ability to solve problems. Sir Bobin brought down what was left of the other two teams once they had delivered their own deathblows to each other and claimed those dragon mecha for Tou. He became prince shortly after the announcement of his engagement to the queen and then later king when the old one passed away. He has had two wonderful children with his Queen. Bob raised them both with a strong sense of duty, pushing on his son to be more of a public figure than he has been. He has taken several people into his army, though sometimes he wonders at the wisdom of his past actions. King Bob is vaguely aware of the of the new dragon mage, but had nothing to do with the plot that sent assassins to kill the lord Castile had fallen in love with. He wonders some about why the mage joined Shiro in fighting Tou since it breaks with the Dragon Mage's tradition of not taking sides. Item: The king's scepter Powers: The king is believed to have tremendous magical powers, but that he keeps them so wrapped up in secrecy that no one outside his family knows what they are. Even the royal family of Tou whispers rumors back and forth from time to time about him being some vile undead necromancer or sorcerer that made deals with some evil other worldly power. In truth, Bob has no magical powers or training, but his inventions make him the equal of any sorcerer, even the famed destructive power of the Dragon Mage's God's Slayer is at his command, though he has never ever dreamed of using the device he created that could unleash such devastation. He even created a new element he calls 'Ceramic'. This 'metal' can withstand obscenely high temperatures, is not magnetically attracted to anything, is lighter than steel while being much stronger, and dulls less quickly than metal when given an edge. King Bob is the only known person it actually of created a mecha and put it into use. The Tou army is supplemented by a division (That's nearly 5800 soldiers.) of mecha with the number growing every time another is finished. These mecha do not have any magical abilities granted to them by dragons, but do have some interesting features of their own. It has been proven many times that these mecha can go toe to toe with the dragon mecha and win. King Bob has not yet seen any reason to deploy the division against Shiro yet.
