Name:
ZETA -Primal OMEGA-
Crimson Viper's Theme - Marvel vs Capcom 3
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Specie: Halvanr
Physical Description: Appears human at first, but bears a robotic head and tail much like a serpent, a clawed mechanical right hand, and swivel-jointed robot feet - all this with a red/gold color scheme. He has a mane of long auburn hair, mechanical wings that somewhat resemble a cobra's hood, a red obi, and a beige furred cloak. Nobody has seen his human face.
Personality: Grudging. Some incident from long ago has made him resentful of mankind to the point of denying his own human side. Besides that, he's caring for anyone that qualifies as his kin. He doesn't deny that he can be a "total control freak".
History: A Halvanr - the child of a human and a Vandroid - that suddenly appeared and took Socrates by storm, followed by a legion of Falvanir (humans that were artificially made into Halvanir). His goal: change the world. He would do so by subduing or killing the top leaders, and by capturing and converting more people into loyal Falvanir. Why does he hate humanity so much? Well, there's a clue in his past - a vague clue...
Equipment: Besides his Halvanr sections, Zeta controls a (oddly non-sentient) Vandroid named Sigma. Sigma is quite literally a weapon - its lower jaw unfolds into two serrated blades to dig into enemies, and it emits powerful Z-rays. Zeta hold Sigma by a chain handle within the back of its head.
Abilities: Zeta has the uncanny ability to control others - he can hypnotize living things (even if temporarily), command machines to act to his will, even replicate others' actions for his use later. Such a power makes him dangerous and unpredictable.
Other: Despite his controlling powers, he can be a little emotional if struck just right. Even if he claims he hates humanity, some part of him isn't sure he means that.

Specific Moves
- Manipulate: Hypnotizes the target, making him/her act to his will. He can do this with multiple targets.
- Turnabout: Conjures a portal that sucks in incoming projectiles and casts them somewhere else - like the caster.
- Voodoo Doll: Focuses as an attack is incoming. If used right, he'll suddenly be replaced by a hard-light replica of the attacker, making all damage from the attack go to him/her.
- Stop Hitting Yourself!: A quick, simple mind control trick that makes the target harm him/herself.
- Sigma Ray: A Z-ray shot from Sigma's maw. Phases through solids, but will dissipate after some distance.
- Sigma Cutter: Zeta swings Sigma around on its chain, letting its jaw-blades slice about.
- Sigma Chomp: Sigma lunges forth like a disobedient dog, pulling Zeta along as it chomps at the ground. This leaves a trail of spatial tears in the ground, which will heal in time.
- Sigma Buster: Sigma fires a huge Z-ray beam forth.
- Doppel Zeta: Manifests a shadow of himself, acting alongside him.
- Zeta Tag Team Special: Zeta joins with an ally, granting him/her the power for a tag-team attack. What it is depends on whether said ally specializes in strength, speed, or force.

Trivia
- Zeta is a Greek letter that symbolizes offerings. It also relates to the archangel Michael - this is also Zeta's real name.
- Of the two zodiacs, Zeta is drawn from Ophiuchus and the Cat. Both are excluded, or extra, signs.
- The letter that his weapon, Sigma, is named for symbolizes psychopomps, or guides of souls to the realm of the dead.
- Zeta has some aesthetic similarities to Disney's Jafar - namely, his cobra-like appearance and his ability of mental suggestion.
- Zeta's fur cloak is meant to resemble a lion's mane.
- Whereas Xi has a blue color scheme, Zeta has a red color scheme. Alternatively, Xi mostly has "cool colors", while Zeta has "warm colors". Zeta is also an initial rival for Xi.
- Zeta's mind control isn't always for his own purposes. It can also be used to stimulate another's courage or control their movements, making them capable of taking on the task before them and sometimes for Zeta to be a second set of eyes for them. This is something that Zeta does late in Primal OMEGA's story.
