After the various catastrophes, humanity needed time to recover. At the same time they needed people to work the main transit stations between cities and the colonies in order to make sure that said recovery did not stagnate. They created the Iron Zanrailer for maintaining the various transit rails as an experiment. With barely a minimum needed crew and a sophisticated if supposedly locked down AI, it seemed perfect for the job. It was a surprise whenever a passing kaiju attempting to eat the Orbital Ring's rail system caused the core unit to gain sentience and protect the crew. Since then, Zan has shown himself something of a progressive builder and scientist. The strangest part is that he has absolutely refused to have a more combat made body available despite everything else facing the world. As a Super AI, he acknowledges the mistrust and the microscope on him as one of the few active and under the trust of NERV to keep him in line. He also happens to have a healthy dose of seeing the worth of other sentient beings and tries his best to protect them with everything he has and is able to do.

Background

  • Created in 0095 in response to needed maintenance on the railways such as those keeping the orbital ring stable at times.
  • First "aware" action was battling a kaiju attacking the orbital ring's railways on it's way to Earth. Battle gained attention from the Federation and resulted in his being assigned to NERV.
  • Zan assists in defense of the MAGI in cognitive space by uploading his digital self.
  • The aftermath has Zan facing an Angel. His effectiveness is brought into question as the Angel manages to literally toss him around in his Iron Zanrailer form.
  • While on a scavenging mission to the Side 5 shoal zone, Zan encounters the mature form of Sandalphon. The Angel's communication black out results in trauma to his programming as Zan loses contact completely with allies and the Iron Railer train.
  • Returned to the GGG Orbit Base in case of worse happening with the unforseen trauma, Zan ends up being one of the few assets on hand when Triple Zero's Braves attack it. Zan ends up facing off against the Pseudo-Zonder El-15 despite his internal trauma alongside allied units.

Resources

  • Materials supplied from Senpuuji Connection and Linear Train Industries in order to maintain railways.
  • Able to remotely access systems in order to communicate.
  • Construction Programming Design - Zan is an avid builder and craftsman in his spare time. He tends to help this by designing new structures and even helps maintain allied units.
  • NERV - While not on the best of terms, Zan does have some access to NERV resources. Very limited and requires approval from higher ups.

Relationships

  • Linear Train Industries - A bit of a rocky connection due to their rivalry with Senpuuji Connection. Zan still treats them with respect and rarely disobeys orders from them.
  • Senpuuji Connection - Like their rivals, Zan treats them with respect and rarely disobeys orders from them.
  • Evangelion Pilots - So far he regards the Evangelion pilots as allies and possible friends. He has only met three, but they left a good impression on him.
  • NERV - Included with the Evangelion Pilots, Zan happens to have a good relationship so far with NERV. Including starting to call them "sempai" after realizing everyone is technically older than him.
  • Braves - Zan currently looks up to the past Braves, having been inadvertently called one himself. Despite the exile and public face on them, he strives to become as courageous as them as well as find his own meaning of Courage. Since no one has yet to publicly declare him as a member of the group, he also strives to become one.
