Captain Harlock

Name: Captain Harlock;  His full name is Phantom F. Harlock.
Origin: Arcadia of my Youth (Movie); Endless road SSX (Anime series); Captain Harlock: Space Pirate (American comic series) .
Stereotype: Battle-hardened Freedom Fighter

World: Arcadia of my Youth - Future Earth, late 30th Century (2960s)
Arc: Pulled from his world while fighting a illumidas retro-fitted Earth Solar Federation Battleship that he once commanded, the Deathshadow.

Personality: Harlock believes in freedom above all else and why he flies the Jolly Roger - for pirates live free and follow their own code & rules. At first, he abandons Earth so he, his friends & crew can live free but knows he just cant abandon his planet and humanity so he returns and wages a resistance war against the Illumidas occupation. He is loyal to his friends and crew and will not abandon any of them. He does not make deals or treaty with the Illumidas race under any circumstances.

Appearance: Captain Harlock wears all black clothing with a Jolly Roger on his chest, a long flowing cape with a large collar. On his belt he carries a laser pistol and a laser sword. He has a scar on the left side of his face and wears an eyepatch covering his missing right eye (the result of exchanging weapons fire with an Illumidas patrol on occupied earth).

Gimmick: Space Opera
The expansive world where Captain Harlock hails from has conquered the limitations of space travel. Space-faring vessels are therefore commonplace, if not readily available. While science has advanced far enough that laser-powered guns are standard issue weapons, swords are still seen as the weapon of choice especially for proving one's honor in one-on-one duels.

Powers: None

Techniques:
Swordplay - Captain Harlock is a skilled swordsman and duelist.

Marksman - despite the loss of his right eye, Captain Harlock is still an expert marksman that rarely misses his mark.

Ship Commander - Captain Harlock is an experienced ship commander of the Arcadia, capable of pulling together a good tactic to overcome foes in space combat even if he is outnumbered.

Fighter Pilot - Captain Harlock is a skilled space fighter pilot.

Equipment: Laser pistol (Cosmo Dragoon), Laser Sword (Gravity Saber), the Arcadia (Powerful Space Battleship capable of taking on all but the largest of space fleets)

The Arcadia was named as such for a utopia away from any and all shackles including from that of Earth, serving as a symbol for Harlock and his search for freedom. Some series even reveal that the ship was named after the Harlock Family's estate. It was created by Tochiro Oyama. The Arcadia's crew consists of over 40 humans. The Arcadia features a robust design with heavy armor and enough firepower including a variety of beams and missiles comparable to a mighty armada.

Weapons

The main gun of the Arcadia, equipped to the top with three sets, able to change positions at an acute angle. The cannons fire beams of EM radiation that can take out fleets of ships and can release electric shocks as well.

Missile Launchers
On both sides of the hull near are three sets of ports used to release missiles that can also be used in water.

Combat Transfer Anchor Tube
The Anchor Tube is used to penetrate inside of enemy ships for raids with the crew engaging in battle inside for traditional combat.

Anti-Aircraft Beam Turret
Small turrets are spread around the bridge to intercept small flying objects like fighter crafts or space debris.

Anti-Ship Depth Charge
An explosive charge released from the ship's rear to ward off enemies from behind.

Apperance

The Arcadia resembles a cross between an old fashioned galleon and a battleship. The back appears to be made of a wood-like material in the shape of a galleon bow. From the back are large boosters with small wings, a pair of wings above this, turrets and guns that line, a command center featuring specialized antenna and radar and skull insignia on the side and front. Occasionally a pirate flag is hoisted up with special equipment, that flutters by varying circumstances like gravity waves


Operation

The Arcadia functions like a regular ship with a need for shifts. The computer keeps the Arcadia running, allowing a small crew of just over 40 to operate. On the deck of the ship is a traditional steering wheel that is often used by Captain Harlock to control the position of the ship. At times Harlock gives out commands from his captain's seat.
The Arcadia features multiple radars that can detect just about all obstacles as well as jammer that can throw off the radars of opposing vessels.
Arcadia also features a hanger for vehicles including the Space Fighter Wolf jet for combat, a Cosmo Wing, a high-speed transport carrier, a space trailer, a boat, and a submarine car.
The crew seem rather lazy and uncoordinated. However in the important matters, the crew always spring into action ready to protect their home.

Advantages
Loyal Crew - the crew of Arcadia are fiercely loyal to Captain Harlock and are willing to go through hell for his sake.
Battlefield Warrior - Captain Harlock has been through the horrors of war and came back more resolved and experienced because of this.
Charismatic - people find it easy to listen to what Captain Harlock has to say, and are more likely to help his cause.

Weaknesses
Code of Honor - Captain Harlock is bound to a set of principles that requires him to be honorable in word and deed. He will not back out from a challenge for a duel, he will fight for the sake of his friends and allies, and he will defend the innocent no matter what.
