Name: White Guard.GMO
GMO #: 01
Description:
When Broadside assumes this form, his overall appearence changes to that of an Official Navi with a Custom Style back-unit. He becomes only slightly taller than average height for a Guard Navi, but not by much. His body-armor color is white with grey and silver accents, and black or gun-metal gray joints, though in a standard Guard Navi configuration (not a mecha-style configuration at all).
Broadside performs all necessary tasks with his right arm while in this form as if his left arm were useless, and does so with relative ease. His left arm (which would have been his Weapon Arm in his normal form) is held in a sling, as if he were injured and his arm broken (though it really isn't broken at all). He is able to accomplish some 2-handed tasks with only one hand.
His lower legs are encased in the same White Armor, but feature jets in the bottom of his feet for jumping purposes.
His helmet still features the ear-covers with his Navi symbol emblazoned upon them, and the antennas that angle back from them, though they are much smaller than in his normal form. Also, unlike most Offical Navis, his entire face is visible, and is quite expressive. His eyes are visible through a clear-glass visor, and are a deep-blue color.
In-Battle:
Broadside must shift back to his original form to use most of his Sig Attacks. The rest of his abilities, however, manifest themselves in their own way.

Description:
In this form, Broadside becomes a normal, 6-foot tall humanoid Navi. He is clad in a gun-metal colored Navi's body suit made of the data-form equivalent of Kevlar and Spider's Silk that covers him from the neck-down. As a departure from the norm, the body suit does not feature a side-stripe. Over this, Broadside wears a set of customized Guard Navi's torso armor. The nearly inch-thick solid white-metal armor covers his upper torso and both shoulders; providing decent protection against net hazards. The armor also provides a mount point for his custom back-unit.
The back unit itself, at first glance, appears to be a slightly larger version of the average generic units seen on old-model Official Navis. It is sloped, and has a vaguely hexagonal shape to it, but also stands out an extra inch or two as a solid base has been added to it; giving it extra depth. The unit features two enlarged upper-canting cylinders that appear to be normal Custom-Style attachments, but actually slide open to reveal directional thrusters. The unit also features six (instead of two) lower-canting cylinders. There is also a magnetic rack-mount on the back unit for storing Broadside's Guard Rifle.
In addition to the torso armor, Broadside wears a simple articulated mail belt around his waist. His lower legs are similarly encased in white-armored greaves and boots; the latter featuring small thrusters for added mobility. He also wears a pair of armored braces and matching gauntlets on his fore arms; the latter being powered to compensate for the added bulk of the armor.
On a peculiar (to everyone else) note, Broadside's left arm, armor and all, rests in a simple plain cloth sling. There is actually nothing at all wrong with his left arm in this form, as it is neither injured nor broken. However, as his regular form's left arm is that of a massive cannon, Broadside has fallen into the habit of not using his left arm for much of anything, as one can't do much with a gun-for-an-arm when it comes to daily tasks. He has instead learned how to do just about everything he needs to with only his right arm, even being able to perform a few 2-handed tasks with just the one arm. On the flip-side, his manual dexterity with his left arm suffers greatly from chronic disuse.
Broadside wears an open-faced white armored helmet over his head. The helmet features a command antenna that rises from the top of his right ear cover that allows him to communicate with combat support programs, or even other Navis, even during intense combat. A clear glass visor with a built in HUD covers the upper part of Broadside's face, falling down across his deep blue colored eyes.
In this form, Broadside.EXE's Navi Emblem is mounted on both ear-covers. The symbol is a picture of a modern cannon shell on a dark blue background.
Guard Rifle Rev-114/B
Broadside carries a simple, yet odd-looking three and a half foot long rifle. The rifle's surface is smooth and blocky, yet lacking in sharp edges. The main barrel is squared, rather than round, is twice as tall as it is wide, and features unusually thick barrel walls. A secondary weapon emitter is attached to the underside of the main barrel, near the base. The rifle is linear in design, with the grip arranged in-line behind the barrel and situated between two extensions of the weapon above and below. The upper section, functionally serves as a recoil brace, but also houses a recessed gun sight that Broadside may look through using a smart-gun data link. The lower section serves as a hand guard, and also houses the attack data receiver port where 'chip clips' and 'aux uplink cables' may be connected or inserted. The rifle was designed with one-handed operation in mind (that includes shooting, mode switching, and reloading), and is nearly indestructible, besides.

I suppose I'll end up rewriting Jared and Broadside's entire profiles, but not all at once.
