Hi everyone! First of all, I've been a lurker for some time and now I've decided to post on one of my fav threads. I went a bit overboard with it... hope it's not too much.
1 - What's their attitude?
Confident and arrogant at first. Once they realize how outclassed they are by the hero, they panic, some try to run away, some plead for their lives.
They are henchwomen of a sci-fi galactic corporation and feel comfortable only in large numbers. They feel like their lives are important. However, everyone else treats them like replaceable, cheap assets.
2 - What's their uniform?
First type is a long sleeve, high neck leotard. No gloves, bare hands.
Second is a high neck sleeveless leotard with long opera gloves (spandex, very tight).
Both worn with white masks (like the ones in Female Combatants), tights that look like stockings (white in the crotch area and black on the legs) and white high heels.
3 - What weapons do they use?
Futuristic guns but also electric batons and swords (no blood).
4 - How skilled are they?
Most – not at all. Some are skilled enough to challenge the protagonist a bit.
5 - Do they survive?
From time to time. Some are spared. Some just wounded. Some are taken out non-lethally like with a choke-hold or electric baton.
Most, however, die. Their deaths should be unambiguous but also unrealistic. I don't want any gore or realism. It should be a bit overacted and over the top. Some would die of a gunshot with a quick scream and fall on the ground. Some would try to fight it but collapse in an awkward pose. Most would fall and lay still but some would twitch and convulse. Some would be held by their killer until they are sure of their deaths and then unceremoniously dropped on the ground.
6 - What's their age range?
18+
7 - Do you care about their background?
No. But they do. There may be some humanizing moments for some zako, usually just before being taken out.
8 - Describe your perfect zako scenario?
It would be a series of episodes telling a longer story based on the works of the fantastic Shabazik. With some changes, of course.
The plot would be rather simple but would involve:
A squad of zako terrorizing a local colony. One woman decides to fight back and kills them one by one with a knife and by using a rope as a garrotte. She piles the bodies, takes a weapon from the fallen zako and leaves to fight back.
As she walks into the woods she sees a man sitting on a branch next to a dead zako hanging from the branch head down on her stomach. There's a flashback on how the man took out this zako (a sniper) and mistreated her while interrogating her with choking, belly punches, and some groping. He convinces the girl to take the zako's uniform and pushes the dead body off the tree.
The protagonists infiltrate a zako base of operation. The man with blades, the woman in zako uniform. The woman tries to avoid zako on her way in the facility. She eliminates them mostly by choking them out, rarely going for a neck snap. The man slices his way through with blades. He backstabs zako, slices their throats, stabs two zako with on blow etc. Then he realizes that he has some time before the female protagonist reaches her objective. He chokes out his next zako and has sex with her. When this zako wakes up, she protests but moans in ecstasy. When she cums, he realizes that she's to loud so he punches her out. He still has sex with her while she's unconscious. Finally, when he is satisfied, he snaps her neck while still lying on top of her.
Before reaching the main facility the female lead needs to get rid of a zako who looks like just another minion. She gives the protagonist a run for her money though but is defeated. The protagonist puts the zako in a chokehold and snaps her neck violently. When she looks up, she sees a whole patrol of zako girls looking at her and a bigger fight begins. The zako want to reach the alarm switch while the female protagonist needs to take them out as quickly as possible. Despite many losses, zako manage to switch the alarm on and overpower the female protagonist for a moment.
When the alarm is set off, the male protagonist rushes to the closing gate of the main facility killing several zako that were trying to reach it for safety. When he sees that the gate is almost closed, he grabs a still living zako and throws her into the opening. The gate crushes her stomach and is stopped so the protagonists can enter the facility by stepping over the dead girl's body.
When both protagonists kill all the zako in the main facility, they set it to auto-destruct and take whatever MacGuffin they were after. The explosion takes care of all the wounded zako and those who couldn't get far away enough.
What I like to see: Bodypiles, both in hiding dispatched sentries and resulting from battle. A small bodypile of two zakos used as a chair by a protagonist. A zako killed silently and then held until her body stops convulsing. Making sure a zako is dead by pulse checking, lifting and dropping arms, and necksnap of unconscious girls. Dead zako falling on protagonist and forcing her to fall on the ground. Then, the protagonist needs to struggle to get the dead woman off her. As the protagonists discuss their plan, the man notices that one zako is alive, falling in and out of consciousness. He squeezes her neck arteries. She pleads and thrashes and twitches until she's dies, going limp. Using a dead or unconscious zako to open a door with fingerprint scanner – her glove will be torn off, her naked hand placed on the scanner and then she'll be discarded. Zako interrogation where her face is squeezed and she's threatened with a gun to the head. Zako being overpowered and laying on the ground with the protagonist on top of her, she tries to wrestle the gun out of the protagonist's hands but he's too strong and slowly the muzzle hovers over her heart, shoots and kills her. Using a zako as a human shield and not just against one shot but until the fight is over, by which time the unfortunate zako has been hit many times. A couple of POV kills are always nice. I also want one of the zakos to be stabbed multiple times while being held against a wall. She would lean on her attacker, almost hugging him. With every stab she reacts with a moan and a jerk of the body… yah, I want it to be suggestive. I enjoy seeing zako's bodies change position after they drop to the ground. This could mean being manipulated by others, sliding off a table or box, or simply rolling over.
I'm sure there are more hardships I'd like to see zakos go through but this is already getting long. ;)
Now for the attacker:
1 - What's their attitude?
The woman wants revenge but only on the zako she considers evil. If a zako pleads for mercy or is wounded, she will not kill them.
The man is on a mission and that's what's important to him. He is pretty shady though. He will have fun with zako. He will incapacitate them only to kill them later. He will also grope them and have sex with alive defeated zako against their will.
2 - What's their gender?
One man, one woman.
3 - What type of equipment do they use?
Futuristic guns and swords, often using zako equipment against them.
4 - What is their fighting style?
A mix of stealth and open battle. They start with neck snaps, knife kills and choke-outs. When the alarm sounds, it turns into open battle.
