Description

The next member of the Greek Stardroid Parthenon. Now, I'm sure some of you are wondering where I pulled the name from, right? Well, this is obviously the counterpart of Jupiter, but while "Zeus" (Ζεύς ) is the ancient Greek version of the god's name, the modern word for "Jupiter" in Greek is "Dias" (Δίας ). You'll see him on Kingdom of Neo Arcadia as "Zeus," but personally I prefer the more modern names to make the connection a little less obvious at times (I mean, the design is already too obvious a connection anyway! XP).

Not much else to say. I really haven't developed most of their powers outside of a vague element-type concept, and sometimes it's different from the Stardroid's powers altogether (not so much here, but still). However, Dias is still a lightning-based fighter that can fly— no surprise there.

I admit the design wasn't TOO much of a departure from the original, either, but that was mostly because I wanted to keep some nods to Jupiter, including his shoulderpads. So, I tried to set things apart with the lack of a jetpack, folded-up wings that could possibly be used for weapons (I considered a sort of air-cutting attack they could perform) and, of course, the falconian head and typical Reploid boots in place of Jupiter's more humanoid head and clawed feet.
