| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Bioroid Fracture appears to pay homage to the ''[[Wikipedia:Bio Booster Armor Guyver|Bio-Booster Armor Guyver]]'' series of manga and anime written by [[Wikipedia:Yoshiki Takaya|Yoshiki Takaya]], in which the titular Guyver Unit is a suit of symbiotic armor designed to amplify the wearer's lifeforce.
| |
| **Given this, the term "Bioroid" is possibly a play on the word "Zoanoid," which are genetically augmented humans and the foot soldiers of the Chronos corporation in the ''Guyver'' series.
| |
| **The Israfil helmet bears a distinct resemblance to the Guyver Unit armor itself.
| |
| *The Bioroid helmets are named after mythological beings of multiple human cultures and religions:
| |
| **Apollyon is the Greek name for '''Abaddon''', an important term for both Judaism (a place) and Christianity (a fallen angel) religions. In both religions, however, Apollyon/Abaddon is related to the concept of destruction.
| |
| ***[[Abaddon]] is also the name of a [[Precursor]] [[Knowledge engine|construct]] in the ''Halo'' universe.
| |
| **Israfil is the name of one of the four angels who will blow the trumpet twice to signal the Qiyamah (the Judgement Day) in Islam: the first blow will kill all living creatures and the second blow will revive them.
| |
| **Tithonus is a Greek figure, who's described as Goddess Eos' lover; in the myth, Tithonus became immortal but continued to age. Eos, unable to help him, made him into a cicada.
