Ran Cossack

"Communism!"


 * -Ran on the subject of life

Ran is one of the three primay protaganists of Zub: The Adventures of Stuff, along with Zub and Death. He is the second entity to join Team Zub and the third person overall.

Early Life
Before coming to work with Zub, Ran worked on a webcomic called Bob and George. It was here that he was created, earned respect for Communism, and spent much of his life. He will reccomend you read it later. However, later on, as the webcomic eventually reached its end, he was laid off and forced to find work elsewhere. So far, little is known about the time spent here, but eventually he found his way into this continuity and accepted work as a well-respected assasin. It is unknown to most who initially hired him to kill Zub.

Physical Appearance
Ran appears to be a small boy dressed in red with oversized white boots. Atop his head is an unusual helmet, with the symbol for Communism on either side and a visor with a yellow stripe accross the top. On his chest, is a blue plate. Contrary to popular belief, it is actually his built-in lunchbox, not his control panel.

Personality
Ran is more known for his communistic traits than anything else. Having been created in Russia when it was still under Communistic reign, he was inherently over-communistic. In several of his appearances, he is shown being outspoken against 'capitalist dogs', going so far as to taking immense pleasure watching Death spawn many notable capitalists and then cayusing them to self-destruct in Chapter 12: The End to the First Miror B. Saga. Outside of his communistic traits, he is very rambunctious and wishes to prove himself, as in Chapter 13: Reunion, where he went off alone to find Dr. Zubious.

Special Abilities
Ran is notable for being one of the two characters who has consistently died. (the other being Zub). This is due to him being made out of cheap communist parts, and rather than just making a more durable model, a machine just teleports in an exact copy with the same memory and everything where the last one died. He also has a built in gun, and is notable for being practically a walking time bomb, in that if left a live for threey years without dying (which is diffult enough as-is), his battery will run out and create a hudrogenic bomb. This can be set early by removing his lunchbox, which significantly speeds up the proccess, useful for quick escapes or dealing with large amounts of baddies.

Pokémon
Ranshao the Magby

Ranshao was caught, if youthink of it that way, in a valley near some unspecified location, though it is probably near Mossdeep City. It is known to be exponantially more powerful than the average Magby, as described by Dr. Zubious.
