User:Trocyte V./Phasmids

The Phasmids are an enemy type appearing in Plants vs. Zombies: Infinite Generation. They are the primary antagonists of The Dark Mirror campaign, forming the hierarchy of PHASMA's command.

Origins
A "phasmid" is any member of the order Phasmatodea, whose name serves as PHASMA's namesake.

Description
Pulled together through means unknown, the Phasmids are malicious alternate universe counterparts of characters the player has met in the previous campaigns. Their personalities almost always involve inverting the heroic traits of their counterparts, or twisting them to justify heinous actions.

Due to belonging to what was once LEAF and GRAVES, the Phasmids use a highly diverse arsenal, though a trait common to several of them is the use of the Anotherwatches to directly transform from their meatself into monstrous, biomechanical versions of their counterparts' Infinite Robots.

Members

 * Miasma: Marius's counterpart. A dark mage responsible for a wide variety of thaumaturgical operations within PHASMA, including forbidden rituals. Initially uses an Anotherwatch to become Another Nepteight, but switches to the Stargazer Corleone once Marius steals the watch.
 * Ferox: Adans's counterpart. A gruff, ill-tempered commander who leads an army of super soldiers in combat. Initially uses an Anotherwatch to become Another Uraven, but switches to the Seraphim GNHW/3G once the watch is destroyed.
 * Pyre: Viri's counterpart. A bloodthirsty ace who takes pride in her casualties with disturbing glee. Initially uses an Anotherwatch to become Another Marsfour, but switches to the Beginning Phantom once the watch is destroyed.
 * Gauss: Tass's counterpart. Compared to him, Gauss is less loopy than Tass is, and believes anything goes as long as it contributes to what he considers science. Initially uses a perfect copy of Tass's Voltaic Armor system to become Build until he completes the Evol Driver, upgrading his armor and rechristening his Rider form as Evol.
 * Lupin: Arven's counterpart. A sly phantom thief known for disaster profiteering. Flies the AGE-2 Dark Hound in combat.
 * Orwell: Archer's counterpart. A mentally damaged mushroom who gave in to the voices that haunt his prime counterpart. Uses a version of the AGE-1 Glansa outfitted with the highly destructive Plasma Diver missiles.
 * Kylie: Reb's counterpart. An "inferior" pilot in terms of aptitude compared to her prime counterpart. Initially uses an Anotherwatch to become Another AGE-FX, but resorts to a watered-down version of the regular AGE-FX that uses A-Funnels instead of C-Funnels once the watch is destroyed.
