Your Hosts

Name: Mike Dent
Age: 22
Function: Host/Producer
Location: Like I’d tell you.
First Appearance: Episode 00: This is a Test

Mike Dent (21) is a bit of a hot blooded starving artist. Currently situated in Milwaukee, WI, he serves as the host and producer this podcast which fully exploits his facination with all this Japanese Pop Culture related and why he owns at least three Henshin Belts.

At the same time, he writes an ongoing column for Otaku USA Magazine and does a bit of voice acting on the side, appearing in productions like The Falcon Banner for Darker Projects and the forthcoming Anti-Glory.

Name: Sylene
Age: 19 (Or so we think)
Function: Co-Host, Mode of Transport, Show Maintainence
Location: Half of the time, aboard RaiDecker
First Appearance: Episode 39: ACEN In Flames?! The Ultimate Afro Appears
CV: Scarlotte

Not much is known about this new C.A, she appears during the Anime Central conflict claiming to have arrived through the same rift that brought RaiDecker into our time. Upon returning from the convention, she devotes herself to the mission of protecting our time from other threats. Not necessarily because she’s witnessed the evil of the Kingdom firsthand or because she feels for Mike, more because she thinks the the whole situation is “Cool”.

Though she is a Cyber Assistant, she is, like Ai, a Trace Hybrid, making her practically half-human. In addition, she possesses a prototype V-Shifter which allows her to transform into a modified 4907 Nissan Skyline at a moments notice (Mike still finds it weird having a partner who can turn into a car…).

As cute, charming and “uber-sexy” (in the words of Stalker Fanboys) as she is, she can become hot blooded and stubborn at the drop of a hat. This doesn’t stop her from being his closest ally and friend in his fight against the Zodiac. Some may say that this makes her the perfect match for him…at least those that survive her fury.

Name: Mai
Age: 18
Function: Co-Host, Maid Mascot
Location: Comes from Kyoto, Japan, spends most of time on RaiDecker
First Appearance: Autumn Blitz Part 1
CV: 1.) Sachibelle 2.) Mippa

Created as part of a collaboration project between Ai, Mike, and Robo Garage back during Series 1, Mai was activated and sent to Mike following Ai’s demise with the intent for her to be the new co-host. This would have been the plan if not for the Zodiac capturing her mid-flight and delaying the delivery by a few months.

Upon her rescue and re-activation, Mai swore herself to Mike’s side and dedicated herself to serving him in any function needed. (Within reason of course, pervs). As she was programmed to be a maid, she refers to Mike as either Mike-sama or Goshujin-sama, refusing to leave Mike’s side in some instances. She refers to Sylene “Onee-sama” or Sister. This annoys her to no end of course but she regrettably permits it.

Mai’s personality is slightly innocent in nature due to her recent activation, making her curious about the world around her and at the same time emotionally sensitive and prone to cry when upset about something, something that usually works in her favor as nobody (especially Mike) can turn her down when in tears. This can be blamed on the programmers at Robo Garage who modeled her after a typical girl you’d find in a maid cafe in Akihabara.

She has no weapons to speak of (yet) but she remains a vital asset to the R5 Crew, namely acting their Tokyo Liason for guest interviews and the like.
