The Crazy Bones Division (狂骨師団, Kyokotsu Shidan?) is an elite unit of the Federal Republic of Giad formed from members of the Nouzen Clan.[1]
Background[]
The Crazy Bones Division was formerly an elite unit under the service of the Imperial family of the Giadian Empire and the Imperial military made up of only those who possessed Nouzen blood. After the revolution and fall of the Empire, they became part of the Federal Republic of Giad.[1]
Chronology[]
After the Second Great Offensive, commander of the Crazy Bones Division, Yatrai Nouzen, threatened Zelene Birkenbaum to divulge further information on the Legion and ordered an intelligence officer to extract information from her.[1]
Reception[]
The Crazy Bones Division draws some resentment, ire and fear from other units who had fought alongside them. Especially the Azhi Dahāka operators as their units can’t do long battles since they require a large amount of maintenance and fuel. They are mainly used to crush the strongest enemies and leave the rest to other units. This causes no small amount of resentment from their peers due to the huge logistical burden, them taking all the credit, and then leaving afterwards.
As the division is entirely made up of Onyxes with Nouzen blood, they possess enhanced combat prowess and an unorthodox close-quarters and high-mobility approach to armored combat, fighting like berserkers, much like Kiriya and Shin. Their movements have been described as skipping, jumping and bouncing around like unruly horses, crushing their enemies like insects. All while their psychological warfare speakers constantly blast military songs, marches, and operators’ laughter and chanting battle cries. It is for these reasons that the division is feared by even their comrades and have well-earned the name Crazy Bones.
Organization[]
- [Division Commander] Yatrai Nouzen
Trivia[]
- Their unit's insignia and namesake is a skeletal hand gripping a longsword burning with a spectral flame, bearing a thematic resemblance to the Nouzen Clan's family crest; a headless skeletal knight.
- As members of the Nouzen clan, the division's operators are issued personally customized Feldreẞ.
