Fuga: Melodies of Steel
Early Life
Socks grew up as a studious and observant engineer aspirant, often making amateur inventions for kids around Petit Mona. His greatest weakness is talking with girls. He stutters around any he meets except for Hanna due to their childhood friendship, and Mei due to her young age.
Sacrifice
Socks is initially hesitant to go inside the cannon. However, as he marvels at the technology and realizes he can save his friends, Socks goes in and gives up his life.
After the War
Socks continues his studies after the events of the war, cherishing having a peaceful study of his own compared to the cramped and crowded Taranis.
Gameplay
Fuga: Melodies of Steel
Socks is all about versatility. He's the second strongest Grenadier behind Jin, but he's more versatile. He has greater mastery of status effects than other members, with skills that inflict smoke and flame on all enemies, while his Hero Mode adds a chance of inflicting shock, smoke and/or flame to his normal shots. Meanwhile, as a support member, his skills increase luck (and thus critical hit rate) and his support attacks add a chance of inflicting the previously mentioned statuses.
