"You smell juicy. Mm, mm, mmm..."
—Stratos, Azure Striker Gunvolt
[1]
Stratos is a member of the Sumeragi Group, one of the seven adepts under Nova and one of the antagonists and bosses of Azure Striker Gunvolt. He has an affinity for consumption.
English Website Description
Stratos is an adept being held prisoner by Sumeragi whose septimal power, known as the "Fly," allows him to transform his flesh into insect-shaped particles of energy that can break down matter and incorporate it into his body. However, repeated experimentation has caused his septimal power to grow out of control, to the point which his Glaive alone cannot contain his powers. The only thing keeping him in control now is a special drug called S.E.E.D., which is extracted from an experimental and highly dangerous plant specimen. Before being captured by Sumeragi, Stratos was a handsome, popular young man. Now, not a single trace of the man he once was remains. The Glaive which holds his septimal power is known as the "Lizardslayer." [1]
Nintendo Dengeki Profile
A young man who became a test subject in Sumeragi’s Pharmacology Lab to study the effects of the drugs used on Psychics.
Before being caught by Sumeragi, he was a handsome, popular young man, but after repeated experiments, his personality broke away.
He’s stepped into a constant hunger that can’t be satisfied, and has degraded into a monster that devours anything in front of its eyes.
His hunger can only be momentarily held down through S.E.E.D and its consciousness-stabilizing effects.
He originally wasn’t under Shiden’s jurisdiction, but when he was resurrected and regenerated at Heaven’s Inverted Spear, he was incorporated under the command of Shiden.
Winged Insect (The Fly):
A 7th Wave (Sevens) that allows a person to change his flesh into energy bodies that look like flies.
These energy bodies decompose what they touch and absorb them as their own energy.
After transforming with his Sword, Stratos can turn himself into energy bodies and momentarily rebuild his flesh, which allows him to change into several forms. Since Stratos, the user, has almost no intelligence left, however, he changes according to instinct, and can’t become a too complicated form.
“Lizard Circle:”
The Sword granted to Stratos; it’s based on the Demon Blade that appears in folklore.
It’s believed that this Sword is under Sumeragi’s complete control, but the blade appears attracted to the berserk Stratos, almost as if he lures it to him.
This is indeed like the anecdote of the Lizard Circle blade: when the monster appeared, the blade jumped out of the sheath on its own.
As one might understand from this, there are still many doubts regarding the safety of the Swords, but all facts that are inconvenient for Sumeragi are concealed--such is the status quo.
Appearance
Stratos is a teenager with shoulder length, messy green hair, red eyes, and extremely pale skin. He wears a tattered white shirt, a black Sumeragi officers jacket tied around his waist, black trousers, and brown boots. His forearms and palms are also heavily wrapped in bandages.
In his septimal form, Stratos's appearance changes dramatically. His body appears to be made of bright yellow flames. He wears black and white armour on his hands, chest, feet, thighs and groin. Above him floats a black and grey shell comprised of three parts that vaguely resembles an insect head, with the two parts on the side each having one massive yellow "eye".
Personality
Stratos's original personality is largely unknown. It is known he was very popular and attractive. After being captured by Sumeragi, his personality changed drastically.
Representing the sin gluttony, repeated experiments have driven Stratos to insanity, to the point where Gunvolt and Moniqa actually feel pity for him. As a side effect of the multiple experiments he's endured, Stratos suffers from a constant, agonizing hunger, which only twists his already broken mind even further. His mental state has deteriorated to such a degree that he can barely control his powers any more, even with a glaive, and operates mostly on pure instinct.
Plot Role
Background
Originally, Stratos was an attractive, popular young man, before being approached by Sumeragi. Presumably, he refused to cooperate, and he was captured and subjected to numerous experiments. Though the tests greatly advanced adept research, it came at a cost of both Stratos's mental health and self control. His powers reached the point to where his glaive alone could not control his septima, and he became reliant on a drug known as S.E.E.D. to keep his abilities and never-ending hunger in check.
Pharma Lab (Garden)
In order to stop S.E.E.D. production, QUILL sends Gunvolt to the Pharma Lab to destroy the flower responsible for the drug. Gunvolt is able to succeed in his mission, but Stratos, with nothing to control him, breaks free. After killing and devouring his captors, he sends swarms of insects to attack Gunvolt, who eventually confronts the crazed adept himself. With no more S.E.E.D. left, Stratos decides to feast on Gunvolt to satisfy his hunger, and attacks him, only to be beaten and killed.
Babel (Stratosphere)
At some point in time after his demise, Stratos is resurrected by Sumeragi's necromancer, Elise, and transferred to the command of Sumeragi lieutenant Nova Tsukuyomi. He, along with other resurrected Sumeragi adepts, await Gunvolt's arrival at Sumeragi's orbital space station, Firmament, to subdue him in his efforts to topple Sumeragi.
As anticipated, Gunvolt ascends an Earth-to-space elevator to Sumeragi's orbital space station, Firmament, on a mission to topple Sumeragi once and for all. During his ascension, the resurrections of fallen Sumeragi adepts appear to quash Gunvolt's mission. One such resurrection is of Stratos, who ultimately meets his demise yet again.
Stratos does not make any canonical appearances after this.
Attacks
Devouring Charge
マッドネスイーター、Madness Eater
Stratos' standard attack. He transforms into a giant chomping mouth and charges from one end of the screen to the other.
- Stratos always charges from the side of the screen that is farther from Gunvolt.
- Beginning at battle phase two, Stratos summons a slow-moving swarm of insects to fly across the screen before he charges at Gunvolt; the insects can be dispersed with the Flashfield.
Insect Spawn
サーベイジミニオンズ、Savage Minions
Stratos' standard attack. Stratos jumps to the center of the top of the screen and tosses two eggs on the right and left sides of the arena; he disappears shortly after. Each egg hatches to spawn two insects that fly toward Gunvolt similar
- The eggs and the insects can be tagged and electrocuted to destruction with the Flashfield.
Pincer Ball
デュアルタイラント、Dual Tyrant
Stratos begins using this attack at battle phase two. Stratos splits into two halves of a mouth at the upper corners of the screen. The two halves then begin unleashing a lateral stream of insects as they move downward. They briefly stop at the surface of the arena before colliding into each other to form a ball. The ball then performs three crushing jumps towards Gunvolt.
- The insect stream can be dispersed with the Flashfield.
- Stratos' defense increases while he is using this attack.
Antlion Fangs
タワーリングラトニー、Towering Gluttony
Stratos burrows underground. The halves of his mantle will rise up from the ground and sweep a certain distance trying to hit Gunvolt. Then the halves will both pop up at once and clamp the space between them.
Nemesis Fang
デスティニーファング、Destiny Fang
"Like a dire swarm / Echo loathsome chewing sounds / A hunger without end! Nemesis Fang!"
Stratos' special attack, only performed when on the last third of his health. He gathers flies with the halves of his mantle while shooting energy orbs at Gunvolt. If Gunvolt does not destroy at least one of the halves or kill Stratos in time, he will crush Gunvolt with both mantles and the insects devour him, resulting in instant death.
English Game Mentions
Mission: Garden
- Stratos, lord of the horde, feasts upon the laboratory's grotesque flora. But they can only sate his hunger for so long... [2]
English Game Dialogue
Pharma Lab (Garden), Prior to the Boss Battle
- STRATOS: "You smell juicy. Mm, mm, mmm... Let me have a taste of that lip-smacking serum... Gimme a licky-lick..."
- GUNVOLT: "(I could tell at once that this guy was perfectly normal. ...I must've gotten the flower's juices on me when we fought. Apparently it was just what the doctor ordered for this psychopath.) I take it you're the Adept controlling the insect horde?"
- STRATOS: "Silence! Do not talk, you scrumptious thing! You will only make Stratos crave you more... Because of you, they will never make the hunger-stopping medication again! And now, Stratos is forever doomed to -hee hee- eat! A wittle victual like you is just -begging- to be nibbled and dribbled!"
Stratosphere (Babel), Prior to Fighting Stratos
- MONIQA: "Gunvolt, you'll be out of transmission range soon."
- ZENO: "Good luck, Geeves. You get Joule out of there, ya hear? I mean, I'd do it myself, but I like you too much to steal the spotlight."
- GUNVOLT: "Uh huh. Thanks, Zeno. You're all man."
- MONIQA: "Asimov, do you read? ...... Still nothing. Where the heck did he go?"
- ZENO: "The boss probably snuck onto the elevator to one-up my boy here. Or maybe he's waiting for the right moment to jump in and save Geeves' bacon. That's what I would do."
- MONIQA: "Yeah, and you and Asimov are about as alike as a poodle and a potato."
- ZENO: "Ooh......really do......crush......m......"
- MONIQA: "......grow up...not like......all......Zeno......"
- ZENO: "...better watch......boss is......player......"
- GUNVOLT: "(The wire went silent. I had reached critical altitude. Of course I was worried about Asimov, but I had to press on. Joule needed me.) All right. Down to business."
- STRATOS: "Going somewhere? Mm, mm, mmm... I don't think so. Stratos wants a bite. ...Stratos wants a fight!"
Trivia
- Stratos is the only adept who holds his glaive pointing down before transformation.
- During battle, Stratos disappears from the screen in between his attacks. The only other boss to do the same is Jota.
- Prior to the events of the game, Stratos was being held prisoner and was experimented on by Sumeragi. Elise, Nova, and Gunvolt share a similar story.
- Despite the fact that Stratos is a prisoner, he wears the Sumeragi officers uniform, albeit heavily damaged.
- The seven featured adept bosses are based off of the seven deadly sins and an animal based on it. Stratos represents gluttony and based on flies.
