Cronologia
Biografia
Shahryar is a distinguished gentleman and a legendary figure within the Gunpla Battle Nexus Online (GBN) community.
Known for his elegant appearance and gentle demeanor toward women, he approaches the world of Gunpla with a philosophy centered on 'love.' He believes that a builder's feelings are directly expressed through their creations, a philosophy that has earned him the reputation of being one of the top two Gunpla builders in the world.
As the leader of Force Simurgh, which is ranked third overall in GBN, Shahryar occupies a position of immense influence. Despite his high status, he is known to be approachable and often acts as a mentor to rising stars. He initially took a liking to Riku Mikami and the Build Divers, suggesting they join his own force. While they declined to maintain their independence, Shahryar remained a steadfast ally, offering his refined skills and tactical expertise during major crises within the virtual world.
Storia
In the real world, Shahryar is Ruck Arge, a wealthy prince from a Middle Eastern family. His affinity for the sky and aviation was a passion shared with his younger brother, Patrick Alexandre Leonard Arge.
However, after Patrick was involved in a tragic flying accident that left him unable to walk, Ruck sought a way to restore his brother’s spirit.
He introduced Patrick to the world of GBN, viewing the virtual environment as a place where his brother could once again experience the freedom of flight. This act of familial love eventually led Patrick to become the Diver known as Parviz, a key member of the BUILD DiVERS. Ruck's own journey in GBN was defined by his pursuit of artistic perfection, leading him to create Force Simurgh and establish himself as a 'Master Builder' whose reputation precedes him in every corner of the digital nexus.
Evoluzione
Shahryar's character arc transitions from a mysterious, almost untouchable elite to a supportive mentor and family man. In the original Gundam Build Divers, he is presented as an icon of perfection, obsessed with the 'love' of building and often locked in ideological debates with Tigerwolf.
However, in Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE, his character gains significant emotional depth through the revelation of his real-world identity as Ruck Arge. This context reframes his passion for GBN not just as an artistic pursuit, but as a selfless effort to provide his brother, Patrick, with a new lease on life. By the time of Gundam Build Metaverse, Shahryar has ascended to a 'legacy' status, representing the pinnacle of the Build Divers era while standing alongside other franchise legends as a guardian of the Gunpla community.
Da Collezione
For collectors, Shahryar is synonymous with the HGBD 1/144 Seravee Gundam Scheherazade, produced by Bandai Spirits. This High Grade kit is highly sought after not just by fans of the character, but by customizers who prize its unique 'Ptolemaios Arms' support unit for its compatibility with other kits.
The kit features the ability to switch between 'Jinn Mode' and 'Efreet Mode,' mirroring its anime appearance. While a Master Grade (MG) version has yet to be released as of 2026, the HGBD model remains a staple of the Build series line. Additionally, his appearances in the Gundam Breaker video game series have made his digital parts a 'grail' for players looking to replicate his high-performance, aesthetically pleasing build style in their own virtual collections.
Despite his royal background, he is extremely humble and treats every Gunpla, regardless of the builder's skill, with respect if it shows 'love'.
