'''Arm Zilch [born 0:002000] was one of the original Heroes of the Alien Game Wars. A native of earth, Z grew up with tales of courage and glory, leading him to become a firm believer in the power of mortal individuals and groups, a view that may be the primary reason has pushed through one thousand eons of battle.'''

'''Although unarguably inferior to Ingersoll in virtue, battle skills, and importance in the war, many Terran citizens consider Z to be the champion of men due to his boldness and inspiring speeches. Z's chief rival is Roboham, the android designed by the War Council specifically to combat him. Although a mere mortal, he has an astounding amount of knowledge about the God Worlds and other universes. '''

'''He leads the Ninth Cosmarine division in battle, a division which, alongside its commander, is labeled as a Terran paramilitary force. He is a noteworthy leaderm, and President Mojitolo has described him as "The only man that can sit around and bark orders and legitimately say that he's working harder than anyone else."'''

Origin [0:002000]
Arm was born in a city called Chicago, located on the American continent of Old Earth. When he grew up, he was drafted into the army during a war with the nation of China. The war itself, however, was quickly ended upon the First Invasion of the Scumaliens. The American forces in China were recalled, and Arm was quickly brought through the ranks as an officer and tactical advisor. By 0:002025, he was in charge of all defenses in his home city, Chicago.

It was during this position that he reacquainted himself with Paul Ingersoll, a childhood friend. Ingersoll, as a master technologist with basic military training, worked alongside Arm in the defense of the human race against the first Scumalien Invasion. Alongside their lieutenant officers, Commanders Shark and Kale, and Doctor Carson Surmeier, they lead the defense and were mainly responsible for the survival of humanity. The U.S. military leaders had planned to promote Z to general at the ceremony held subsequent to the war, but he went missing and was presumed dead.

Battle of Hawaii
During the years that followed Arm's disappearance, America's scientists made many new discoveries. It seemed that once again, America was becoming the world's greatest superpower. The nation began to act arrogantly, and soon tensions with other countries were strained. Russia and China ended relations with America, and most other countries followed suit.

In 0:002067, the Second Invasion of Earth began. America's technology made them the primary target of assaults. The War Council was forming, and the Scumaliens had the assistance of the Skabos and Robos this time. To make things worse, no country would come to America's aid. President Brown began planning America's surrender. At the last moment, Z made his return.

The War Council had located America's nuclear supply and was moving in on the ragtag militia defending it. Before they could arrive, they were intercepted by an immense Russian airfleet, led by none other than Abraham Z. It was later revealed that he had gone to Russia to participate in the human regeneration experiments (which were successful). The Russian forces engaged the alien fleet for a few days. Meanwhile, America, Russia, and China launched an operation to take out the alien motherships orbiting earth. This battle was successful, as were many of the following battles.

In 0:002094, the War Council created Roboham to combat Z in both fighting ability and tactics. Roboham was immediately deployed as the leader of the Robos, and he and Z quickly became rivals. At the Battle of Hawaii, the two of them fell into the volcano and both emerged directly before the eruption. It is unknown exactly what happened there, but most believe that the lava burned part of Roboham's main processing unit, and Z scrapped Roboham's jet boots into a crude flight machine which he used to get both of them out.

Moon Strike
Around 0:002250, the human race began ti develop better space travel technlogyy. It had been thirty years since the last invasion, and against advice from Z, the UN decided to venture out acreature a moon colony under the assumption that the War Council was not returning. In order to ensure the safety of the colonists, Abraham and Ingersoll accompanied them to the moon.

Upon landing, they set up an atmosphere bubble and began erecting a small town. In the midst of this, a horde of alien ships came out from behind Mars and went into orbit of the earth. Fightercaft split from the larger cruisers and crashed into the moon, with their pilots jumping out to attack the base. One pilot crashed rightt through the atmosphere bubble, causing a large tear and escaping oxygen.

As Ingersoll protected the townspeople from the scum, Abraham grabbed a gravglider and flew up to the rupture with a repair kit. He repaired the hole as quickly as he could until the cruisers spotted him and opened fire. He barely managed to fix the hole when a laser shot destroyed his gravglider. Because of the low gravity, he floated slowly away from the ground. Scumalien fighters returning from the ground knocked, shot, and bashed him until he was in open space.

Before fleeing, the cruisers fired a tractor beam sending Abraham in a trajectory for the sun. Unable to change course, he floated slowly toward the flaming ball. On the ground, Ingersoll used a telescope to locate Z, but was unable to help in any way. Abraham entered the sun and burnt. He was assumed tk be dead at first, but his movement was fast enough to go through the sun before burning entirely. He came out the ither side with a head, part of a chest and charred spine andd leg bones. A scientific team on Saturn picked him up and sent him back ti earth as he regenerated.
