Syntax (シンタックス Shintakkusu?) is a major villain in the Freedom Planet series. She is an AI (artificial intelligence) drone who serves as Lord Brevon's strategic advisor and defense drone during his galactic conquest.
Appearance[]
Syntax is an AI drone that resembles a cephalopod, and is sometimes referred to as a female due to her vocal processor giving her a female voice. She has a single green eye, an upper green head and two green tentacle-like arms, unlike the average 6-8 arm real cephalopods have.
Personality[]
As an AI, Syntax is programmed to provide intelligence, planning and defense, serving to protect Lord Brevon and his assets. Despite being a robot, Syntax is shown to have some sense of humor, as shown in Thermal Base, when she attempts to trick the player into stepping on a floor panel bomb, after which she'll say "just kidding" if they do; and again during the end credits, where she is seen having a slap fight with her robotic doppelgänger, Pangu.
Powers & Abilities[]
- Artificial Intelligence: As a robot, Syntax is programmed to be artificially intelligent, and can provide plans, strategies and advice to Brevon and any other superior she serves.
- Holographic Projection: Syntax has a projector that can display holographic images of maps, creatures, etc.
- Armor Equip: Also programmed to be a defense drone, Syntax is capable of equipping different types of armor and weapons to defend Brevon and his assets.
- Teleportation: Syntax has a teleportation device that enables her to teleport from one place to another, allowing for quick travel.
- Resonance Link: Syntax is capable of performing a link with someone originally from Brevon's planet, completely brainwashing them into the service of Lord Brevon. This was demonstrated when she attempts to brainwash Milla back into the war-dog as she was originally intended to be, only to be thwarted by Team Lilac or Milla herself.
- Code Black: A powerful virus that Syntax can upload, enabling her to hijack and control various robots, proving very effective on Merga's robotic troops. A stronger version of the virus, called Code Black Version Two, was used to gain full control of Bakunawa, resulting in her transformation into Bakunawa Fusion.
Trivia[]
- Syntax is one of the villains from the original game who returns in Freedom Planet 2, alongside Serpentine.
- Syntax has sharp spikes on the end of each of her arms, which she possibly used to brainwash Prince Dail in the opening cutscene.
- In early drafts of Freedom Planet, Syntax was originally a floating TV monitor. This concept was completely overhauled into the Syntax seen in the final builds and the original TV design was reused as the head of the Tankbot enemies.
