Profile
Commander. Diplomat. Soldier. Apologist. An early attempt by the UN to create the ultimate tactical reploid, Project: Signas was scrapped due to lack of funding. Much later, Signas was completed by Dr. Cain and set to work as commander of the Hunters. Unable to run a faction which lacked real military discipline, Signas fell to the position of apologist and laughingstock, sneered at even by the human reporters to whom he constantly apologized for Hunter behavior. When Blues bombed three cities and killed a million people, Signas finally found himself at a loss for words. There was simply no way to explain Blues' actions as benevolent ones. The Great Apologizer finally lost it, turning to the wholesale slaughter of zombies to vent his years of pent-up frustration. In his fugue state, Signas was almost seduced by Epsilon's Irregular rhetoric before the death of Blues. This event caused a stunning realization: he does not have to apologize. Ever. Not for anything, and not for anyone. His reputation? Meaningless. The reputation of the Hunters? Not his problem. Freed from his frustration by this epiphany, Signas is finally able to do what he was meant to do all along: the right thing, no matter what anyone else might think. Signas remains a skilled diplomat and Repliforce liaison, but refuses to make excuses. Equipped with the most precise CPU of any Reploid alive and strong sense of morality, Signas is capable of making rapid judgement calls without angst or second guesses. Signas travels the world doing what the Hunters were supposed to do all along. Help the good guys. Beat the bad guys. Solve conflicts. Save the world.
Background
Project: Signas was originally created by the UN as the ultimate tactical reploid. A coordinator with lightning-fast decision making capabilities who could coordinate their peacekeeping efforts. A diplomat with an endless supply of explanations for their latest failure to act. A warrior to command their troops on the field and subdue terrorists and insurgents in the dark places of the world. A reploid to fill their Affirmative Action quota. The answer to all of their problems.
Of course, like all cure-alls, he came with a price. And that price was just far too high. Development on Project: Signas was halted and the half-finished reploid was put in storage.
Time passed.
Eventually, Dr. Cain learned of Project: Signas. As the Hunters at the time lacked leadership and coordination, he acquired the defunct reploid from the UN and completed his construction.
Signas, once completed, was brilliant. His tactical acuity was unquestionable. His skills in combat were outstanding. His tact and diplomacy were impeccable.
But he was not a leader.
Try as he might, Signas was simply not able to inspire the Hunters. They liked him well enough, at first, but his leadership skills were simply not up to the task of wrangling the Hunters. It was not that Signas was an incapable leader; for any other group, he would have been fantastic. It was just that the Hunters are essentially a large group of extremely egocentric cats, and herding them is all but impossible for anyone who expects military discipline and precision.
Signas was removed from command, replaced with the less military-minded Rock and Zero. However, Signas was kept on as a Hunter, both due to his tactical abilities and combat proficiency. Even so, Signas was given the undesirable job of explaining the usually unprofessional, often baffling actions of the Hunters to both Repliforce and the human press.
He hated it. Signas was built from the ground up for command and combat, not hand-wringing bureaucracy and politics. Nonetheless, he performed ably, deflecting anger and harsh accusations from the faction and accepting the abuse and barely-concealed contempt of the humans to whom he answered.
The frustration mounted. The anger simmered.
Each year brought even more easily-misinterpreted actions from the Hunters. Each year brought more jokes at Signas' expense, and more long hours apologizing for the Hunters. Each year the resentment grew.
Finally, as 2221 ushered in a whole new era, Signas snapped. Blues bombed 3 cities, killing a million people. Repliforce demanded an explanation. The press and the people demanded vengeance. The Hunters demanded justice.
Signas could not meet any of these demands. There was simply no explanation. Blues was all but impossible to find.
The Great Apologizer wandered away from the Hunters in a fugue state, unable to cope with the complete destruction of his reality and his place in life. Even as he wandered further and further into the zombie-infested wilds, the press and the people continued to hound him for answers, apologies, vengeance. His only joy came from the wholesale slaughter of those zombies, who looked so like the humans who would give him no peace.
There was great concern for his mental health in the ranks of the Hunters, and even outside those ranks. And yet, no one was able to reach him in his fugue state. He simply refused to communicate with anyone, resorting to violence when anyone refused to leave him be.
During this downwards spiral, Signas gravitated towards the Irregulars, finding their philosophy in many ways appealing. Epsilon attempted to capitalize on this and bring Signas’ powerful mind under his command. And for a while, it seemed that it was going to work. Signas began aiding the Irregulars in their seemingly humanitarian efforts, even lending his sharp tactical prowess to the faction from time to time.
But everything changed on the day Blues died. Sure, on a global scale Neo Arcadia was defeated, the Ashfords were vanquished, Euro Arcadia was destroyed, et cetera. But the death of Blues was what really had an impact on Signas.
Blues was dead. Vengeance was attained for those who demanded it. Apologies were no longer necessary. Explanations could never be offered.
Apologies were no longer necessary.
Explanations could never be offered.
Blues was dead.
It was as if Signas, a lost and weary traveler, had finally stumbled out of the dense jungle and into a beautiful clearing. The skies cleared, and so did Signas' mind.
Apologies. Were no longer. Necessary.
Signas realized that all of his misery, all of his frustration and pent-up anger over the years was only one person’s fault: his. Who forced Signas to become The Great Apologizer? No one but himself. Who continued to struggle and suffer derision in front of a sea of reporters and cameras day after day, month after month, year after year? Signas, through no one’s choice but his own.
All he had to do to escape that miserable existence was say one word. And he did, as soon as he returned to Hunter HQ.
Just one word: "Enough."
Signas is finally free to do what he was meant to do. Diplomacy. Strategy. Saving the world, one conflict at a time, and to hell with anyone who doesn’t like his methods. The world has entered a new era, and so has Signas. He is no longer The Great Apologizer, and he intends to prove it to the whole world. He is The Great Diplomat. The Great Strategist. The Great Hero.
The Great Signas.
