Trivia
- 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.
- 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 unable to age. Eos, unable to help him, made him into a cicada.
