[OOC] World Warriors: The Nomadic Fist (Quirky Fighting Game Influenced Roleplay)

[Punished GN]

There aren't a lot of combat RPs where people actually know how to write combat posts. :)

@Holy Soldier

You're going to be very disappointed.

But, I'm glad you're interested in this. While I do like CN Fusion, I'm much more passionate about this.

[Holy Soldier]

@Mr Allen JWhy am I going to be disappointed?

@Mr Allen JWhy am I going to be disappointed?

@Holy Soldier

It was a self-depreciating joke about how bad I am with fight scenes.

[Punished GN]

Also, I just watched this, and thought it was very interesting. It can really apply to this Roleplay, and, actually, any Roleplay that involves fighting.

[KremeSupreme]

Here's the character I kept talking about.

"Jeremy Halvit"

Or, per his official name,

⦋ 4(?) || Unknown || None ⦌

---

APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY

APPEARANCE

The aspect separating SYM-04 from other Symbiotes is his body is constructed in a shape almost identical to
humans. His armor is black and separated into multiple bands, with a blue visor that successfully conceals his face. The only thing that stirs suspicions of inhumaniy is the tail jutting from his back, which Horizon Frontier has covered as purposed for "Balance". Yet underneath his human armor, SYM-04 is a terrifying monster. His skin is very dark red,
almost like ham. His teeth are jagged and pointed like a shark's, and split into three toes, instead of one. He has no
ears, and two black beady eyes.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

■ Violent
■ Controlled
■ Introverted
■ Vicious
■ Dumb
■ Short-Tempered

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

SYM-04 is a horrid abomination under the guise of a human; Previous Symbiotes have been made before him, but
none have dared to encroach upon the ideal form of a human.
The Horizon Frontier has been lurking under the guise of a Biotechnological Company for years, supposedly creating
new technologies for the benefit of humanity. But only a few outside of the company know the dark truth; Horizon
Frontier has been creating new technologies in biology and technology, but hardly for humanity's benefit. They
created dozens of Symbiotes, bloodthirsty fusions between Biology and Technology. Almost since it's advent, Horizon
Frontier has aspired to understanding and harnessing of the mysterious energy known as Ki, which has demonstrated in
front of them it's great capabilities. However, Horizon Frontier has never achieved a proper generator for Ki, nor a
container. Yet their knowledge grows, but they are nowhere near uncovering any groundbreaking barriers. To put it
simply, more data is required. This is SYM-04's purpose
SYM-04 was constructed to appear humanoid, unlike most other Symbiotes, so that it may roam amongst humans
without causing distress. However, it's layer of armor is a dead give away to it's nature; In addition to SYM-04's true
creation, the Horizon Frontier has fabricated the following backstory:
Jeremy Halvit was once a hardworking man, with a beautiful family. That is, until, he undercame the horribly
misunderstood Hydrotoxomic disorder, a rare gene in humanity that causes liquid in a human body to become slushy, making the victim weak, and evetually dead. With news of his misfortune, Jeremy lost everything; His wife took his family from
him, and his boss dropped him as a liability. Just when Jeremy would have prepared taking his own life, the Horizon
Frontier stepped in, and offered Jeremy a chance to win back everything. He would become the subject for a suit that
would allow him to function not only at, but above basic human capabilities. In exchange for him, Horizon
Frontier would put several resources towards finding a treatment for Hydrotoxomic disorder.
At the Brazilian fighting cup, SYM-04, or "Jeremy", will make his debut to the public. The reasoning the
"Horizon Frontier" is allowing him to participate is to show the world the capabilities of their Power Armor. Really
though, they're just trying to do two things: Obtain more Ki for research, and prove the current SYM-04 model is fit for combat against high-tier Nomads.

FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES

---

FIGHTING STYLE

Unlike other Symbiotes, SYM-04 has been "programmed" with advanced knowledge of Judo. Much of SYM-04's special
moves require proper time and focus to use, which Judo's grapples and holds would manage to acquire. Many of his special attacks use his tail, which can stretch 4 times it's original length. Unfortunately, due to his Symbiotic Nature, SYM-04
cannot generate Ki naturally; He must harvest it from opponents, and even then he has very few uses other than
increasing his attack and defense for a short amount of time.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

■ Raptor-Whip

SYM-04 jumps and does a somersault, sticking out his tail to whip the opponent.

■ Slithering Grasp

Silently and Swiftly, SYM-04's tail snakes along the ground, and then rises once it surrounds the opponent,
squeezing the air from their lungs.

■ Numb Venom

SYM-04 fills the needle of his tail with paralyzing fluid. He then rapidly stabs his tail towards the
opponent,making their body go numb, decreasing the damage of their physical attacks. It can easily be undone by rapid
movement.

■ Twirling Jab

SYM-04's tail spins quickly, and jabs into his opponent.

■ Hidden Claw Stab

For a brief moment, SYM-04 unsheaths claws from his hands, and makes a lash towards his opponent.

SUPER MOVES

■ Railgun

Assuming a beastial position, SYM-04 fires a ray of ion energy that travels extremely fast from his tail. As a
downside, taking the stance and charging up energy takes a substantial amount of time.

■ Synchronised Movement

In a situation where Railgun might appear "Odd", Horizon Frontier has given SYM-04 a function where his brain
processes information extremely fast, practically allowing him to control a fight at his own tempo for a short amount of
time. However, he suffers "lag" when he breaks out of it, as his brain functions scramble to return to a simple scale.

■ Ki Harvest

SYM-04 stabs a vulnerable opponent, be they fallen down or dazed from blunt attack, in the spine with his tail.
He then quickly extracts as much of their Ki as he can, which in one-on-one combat, usually quantifies their entire supply. He may then use the Ki to buff himself, with increased damage and armor for a short period of time once he
chooses to expend it. Unfortunately, he is extremely vulnerable while performing this dark move, and taking any damage
while extracting Ki will cause him to lose any in the middle of flowing through his tail.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

SYM-04 often leaves himself exposed for most of his special attacks, such as having to hold still for his tail
to move accurately. His basic attacks don't fare well either, most of them dealing too little damage, and are more
towards winding down opponents for his Special Moves to be easier to use. If an opponent is especially evasive, getting
a proper foothold in combat will be hell on 04.

OTHER

---

■ Oddly enough, other Symbiotes have shown poor behavior towards SYM-04, most likely due to his
confusing nature.

■ SYM-04's actual age is still debated. His production began three years ago, yet he was officially
created four weeks before the Brazilian Fighting Cup.

■ SYM-04 has the most calm "Rage" out of all Symbiotes; Where other ones will attack anything that
approaches them, or try and escape any nearby humans, SYM-04 simply stumbles around.

[Punished GN]

@wxps350 I want to go over a few things with Savo before I approve his sheet, but a few things.

1). You didn't give him any weaknesses or limits, you left that section blank.

2). You need to remove the space in the [ hr] tag for the line breaker to work.

The sheet just feels a little... incomplete.

[KremeSupreme]

Alright I fixed the hr breakers, and added the Weaknesses that I overlooked.

[Punished GN]

@wxps350 Now that I discussed things with Savo, here's a few things I have to note.

1). Quite a few of his moves need some reworking, or expanding upon. The main thing is Ki Extraction (which, in all honesty, should be a super move). What exactly does absorbing ki do exactly (other than steal ki)? Does it buff him? Paralysis Stab is very iffy... I'll only allow it if it's a very slow and telegraphed move. Drill Tail is pretty vague with the "nonlethal and lethal" mode.

2). The weaknesses you provided aren't exactly going to apply anytime soon. In the context of a fighting game... Getting more vicious as a fight goes on isn't exactly going to make sense unless you're saying he leaves himself open. Not having ki based attacks isn't even that much of a limit with his other techniques. A weakness in a fighting game would be... Seven-Seven's bad melee combat, or Brooke's lack of an offense.

3). And like I said before, he's more of a villain than a hero.

[KremeSupreme]

Eh, I knew he was a bad idea...

[Punished GN]

Eh, I knew he was a bad idea...

@wxps350

He just needs some work, that's all. lol

@Mr Allen J

Veronica Lebedeva

---

---

⦋ Appears 24 || Russian || Female ⦌

---

APPEARANCE

Lebed in Russian means “swan,” and Veronica’s beauty is just as enrapturing. She has large, blue, doe-like eyes with long fan-like lashes, fine waxed brows, and full, pouty lips. Her hair is auburn that shines in a rustic orange-red under certain lighting. The Russian bombshell was created to disarm others with her beauty and blessed assets……..no seriously! Her heavy, generous bosom is a weapon, and so are the voluptuous spheres that make up her backside. They are weapons designed to punish and through these weapons she has managed to seduce, infiltrate, incapacitate many a man and woman. She is a Russian secret agent whose codename is “Black Swan.”

Black Swan wears a black, lightweight polyfiber leotard that leaves her butt cheeks exposed. Her trademark tattoo is on her right cheek in the form of four black stars that may signify her rank in the organization, Молоток (Mah-lah’tok/Hammer). Her leotard also divides down her torso, exposing her cleavage, but most importantly the girth of her weapons. She wears knee-high combat-style boots, knee and elbow guards, fingerless gloves, and bracers that protect her forearms. Her hair is often pulled back into a ponytail with a few dangling strands here and there and they say when she’s really into a fight, her hair comes down to pool about her shoulders like copper.

PERSONALITY TRAITS

☆Stern
☆Tough
☆Loyal
☆Determined
☆Deceiving
☆Distrusting

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Molotok was created during the Cold War as a secret laboratory that experimented with human genetics. Scientists conducted inhumane experiments in order to unlock the secrets of genetic engineering that would have otherwise never been unlocked following humanitarian law. Their purpose was to create the ultimate weapon. American spies caught wind of the USSR’s weapon program, but they hadn’t known what it exactly was. They had expected a nuclear weapon, but the idea that the USSR had such weapons was already well-known. Molotok experimented with cloning. The gender of the clone was heavily disputed until after two weeks, a consensus finally decided the clone would be a woman. Like a sculptor, Veronica’s creator made her the woman of most men’s dreams. She was grown in the lab and underwent lethal tests of agility, strength, and reaction. Every time she died, she was cloned again, and again, and every clone became stronger and smarter than the last. The scientists couldn’t exactly comprehend the phenomenon. It was as though her mind somehow remembered how she died and learned to “adapt” and to not repeat the same mistakes. Her martial arts greatly improved to where she rapidly learned the moves of her opponents after having been formerly exposed to them. She could read her opponent’s movements at an accelerated pace, but her techniques were also readable. Her makers found that to be concerning. The next clone, they recoded her DNA to make her breasts heavier and oddly durable. They were her hammer and her shield. Her thighs were her vice to crush the skulls and throats of her enemies and her bottom her mace. Veronica’s fighting style became something unseen by any martial artist. Her breast, hips, and bottom were her weapons and through them, she expended ki; through the power of stubborn will and the pleasure of battle. Black Swan was born and she served Molotok for several generations. She was a doll that never died. There were always copies. The data from each of her deaths were always copied over to the next clone.

Veronica went on to serve in the United States’s Intelligence Community as a double agent. Using her beauty and deception, she stole over thousands of secrets. It was one day, where one of the classified documents she stole caught her and Molotok’s attention. The U.S. was developing a new weapon. It was de ja vu all over again. Veronica was tasked to learn more about this weapon and she tried to twirl the tie of any man or woman who knew more about the project. She eventually learned that the project was not being developed in the U.S. but in Switzerland. The project was called, “Cauldron.” Under the guise of Black Swan, Veronica traveled to Switzerland and secretly infiltrated the Gluckweich (Lucksoft (German)) software firm. The firm had been a cover to hide the laboratory that existed fifteen floors below it—just deep enough for ballistic experimentation without disturbing the surface.

Once in the lab, Veronica navigated the underground but could not find any data on The Cauldron. She wandered into a chamber full of blue glowing capsules, and inside them were various people: men, women, and children. She was amazed by how many there were and she thought at first that the U.S. may have somehow got a hold of Molotok technology except for one thing, none of them were copies of the other. They were all random individuals. A man suddenly spoke to her. He was an older man with gray hair and a paintbrush mustache. She would soon learn his name to be Raphael Blosser. He was hunched over with his hands clutched at the small of his back. Startled, Veronica was prepared to attack, but the man made no motion to fight her. Instead, he was kind. He figured out that she was the mole regardless if she denied it. He even knew the pseudonym she had used when she pretended to be American: Claire Richards. Raphael told her that she was just in time for the scientists of Howitzer had just finished the project. He said she was lucky to be the first to test it. Russia’s greatest weapon versus America’s.

Veronica learned that day that Adam hadn’t been a weapon, but a man. Raphael introduced her to his son, Gideon, named after a judge in the Old Testament. Veronica would barely remember Raphael, Gideon, and Adam after her encounter. Another clone was awakened and Molotok had many questions for her, questions she couldn’t answer for she could vaguely remember the encounter. “Adam” was all she remembered. Adam had been the one to kill her. His faint image would linger in her mind like a nightmare. She had dreams of him killing her and she couldn’t ever remember dreaming before. Veronica was prepared to return to Switzerland to confront him when she learned the news that Adam was no longer in Switzerland, but in America. Molotok had other plans for her that went against her desires. Whatever happened to Adam, she now had to find him. If Adam had been so strong to have defeated her so easily, then fighting him only meant that she would grow stronger. Molotok noticed that she had learned a new technique, "Qigong." She didn't know where the technique came from, but she learned to channel it through her Keijo techniques. After Molotok learned about the mysterious destruction of Daedalus, Molotok permitted Veronica to leave Russia to find Adam. They desired for her to grow stronger, but secretly, they desired for Veronica to become Adam’s Eve.

---

FIGHTING STYLE

Veronica’s fighting style is Keijo. It is a feminine art where the assets of a woman are weaponized. Utilizing her hips, rear, and breasts as blunt and lethal weapons, she can hypnotize, incapacitate, stun, and propel her enemies. She also performs various ki-empowered techniques using Keijo. A common trademark left behind in her battles is her opponents having either died or fainted from severe hemorrhage from the nasal cavity (obvious joke).

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

☆ Qigong

The technique utilizes the "qi" or life force of the user's own body in the form of instantaneous blasts. By building up qi in the body and exerting out the pressure with enough force, powerful energy attacks can be unleashed without any prior movement. Since qi is controlled in the body using the mind, it can be exerted throughout the breasts and buttocks. Veronica is believed to have acquired this technique subconsciously after her encounter with Adam.

Mune Waza (Way of the Chest)

☆ 1.6 Kilo Boob Cannon

Utilizing the weight of her bosom, Veronica can thrust them at opponents to deliver enough explosive force to knock them off their feet.

☆ 1.6 Kilo Boob Napalm

Veronica uses the friction her breasts have in contact with another opponent to incinerate their clothing or flesh.

☆ Boob Counter

A technique where Veronica uses her breasts to stop blades, counter kicks and punches, and set up throws.

☆ Boob Dunk

Grasping one boob like one would do a basketball, Veronica will leap into the air and bring it down like a blazing meteor on top an opponent’s head.

☆ Boob Clap

Veronica claps her boobs together in front of her opponent's face, the resulting collision creating a burst of deafening sound to stun and disorient her enemies.

Shiri Waza (Way of the Butt)

☆ Butt Gatling

Veronica rapidly strikes with her bottom so fast that it appears as multiple blurs. Much like a rapid-fire fist, her explosive qigong booty will ruin a pretty face.

☆ Butt Flash

A single, near instantaneous strike from Veronica's butt. Her bottom is filled with a potent and concentrated level of qi that she releases in one instant burst. A direct strike to the face can cause an opponent to crumple like a pile of bricks. It's her best move for quickly incapacitating a foe.

☆ Butt Hardening

By clenching her glutes extra tight, Veronica can harden her butt to a state comparable to steel to repel most lethal attacks. If one isn't careful, then they just might break something.

☆ Bubble Butt

Veronica can cause her glutes to swell to a larger size than normal. Her butt then acts like a rubbery cushion for deflecting attacks or softening strikes.

☆ Meteor Hip

An airborne move where Veronica leaps into the air (if she's not already airborne such as falling from a high ledge). Her butt will light on fire and descend like a meteor. If impact is made, it is great enough to leave a small crater. If made on a person, then...I'm sorry.

☆ Mirror Butt

A counter type technique. Veronica synchronizes her movement with her opponent's, completely mirroring them, before countering them quickly.

SUPER MOVES

☆ Vacuum Butt Cannon

Veronica will either perform a series of flips and rotations to empower this move or rapidly spin in place. Her buns will start to glow as they fill with qi before the power is released in a horizontal cyclone that can send multiple opponents chaotically flying away.

☆ MOLOTOK Butt Missile Type 5

Veronica ambushes the opponent from behind. She then seemingly nudges them with little effort. However, it is strong enough to send her opponent flying a few meters away with explosive force.

☆ Giga Clone Butt Blossom

Veronica twirls around, swinging her hips in what appears to be a harmless attack until a wall of over a hundred butts appears like a startling illusion before her enemy's eyes. The enemy cannot look away. Like a blooming flower, its just so beautiful (to a perve at least). The enemy is then assaulted by a hundred butt strikes.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

Close-Combatant: All of Veronica's moves specialize in close combat. Enemies who utilize range will be able to easily stay out of range of her attacks, but for how long is to be determined. Veronica likes to get up close and personal.

Limited Style: She only uses her breasts and butt to fight, so simply grabbing her arms or taking out her legs may be your best option. Just don't forget, she doesn't use typical combat methods such as fists and feet. If you get in front of her or behind her, then her most lethal weapons are going to be her ass and boobs.

Easily Frustrated: Veronica does not like to lose, and so she can get rather vicious. She doesn't like feeling weak, and so struggling to win only pisses her off.

Post-Death Memory Loss: When the next clone awakens, it doesn't fully remember what the Veronica before her knew. However, the memory can be recalled through memory cues she may encounter.

---

Veronica believes Gideon to be her greatest rival and she greatly overestimates his character. She is a clone of many clones and does die, but never truly dies for the numerous copies Molotok keeps of her. Being a clone, she's wondered if she has a soul, but somewhat believes she doesn't have one.

Gideon Blosser

⦋ Appears to be late 20s || Switzerland || Male ⦌

APPEARANCE

Gideon is 6’3” and weighs 195 lbs of solid muscle. His build is lean and on the athletic side—the body of a gymnast. His hair is brown and eyes gray with tiny glowing specks in the irises like distant stars. His skin is a sandy tan. Besides his eyes, his second most uncanny characteristic is his looks. He is a handsome man, and it’s noticeable but nothing too unusual…unless…one notices, and it is. He appears to be a Renaissance painting come to life—too perfect to be genuine; too perfect to be real, but it is. Gideon was created to be attractive, but it hadn’t been for the purpose of attracting potential partners. It was because his creator saw himself as an artist, and he was making the perfect human as well as the perfect son. Since his escape from Project Adam and Daedalus, Gideon has kept his face hidden. He will wear sunglasses, hoodies, and scarves to hide his head and face and wear baggy clothing to conceal his body. He doesn’t hide too well that he’s a nomad when it comes to his hands for he wears white hand wraps.

BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION

Story Summary

Gideon was created by Raphael Blosser when he accidentally misread the genetic code for abomination. Gideon was since trained to be a weapon for the U.S. government. After learning the story of his origins and realizing that he wasn't conceived by natural means, Gideon furiously destroyed the research and science division, Daedalus. He since sought out the life of a nomad, wandering from country to country learning about the world and fending off super soldiers from The Agency. The Agency, Howitzer, and Molotok all monitor him in secret.

Story

It started with a dreamer. His name was Raphael Blosser, a Swiss man who was a scientist employed by a secret agency, simply known as The Agency, in the United States. Daedalus was the name of the science and research division of mentioned agency during the Cold War. The United States had learned that the Soviet Union was developing a secret weapon, and Raphael was tasked to come up with a secret weapon to counter it. After eliminating the possibility of the weapon being nuclear in nature, they learned of it being genetic and assumed that the Russians were creating super soldiers. Raphael was tasked to create a similar project, but Raphael had something else in mind. Daedalus gave him free reign to conduct his experiments, promising that his project would be completely confidential. Raphael wondered if he could create Adam. Through selective gene coding, could he design the perfect human? He didn’t know the codes right off the bat, and so acquiring the codes required him to acquire specimens.

Several humans went missing around the world, but not just any humans. They were select humans who displayed unique characteristics and abilities. They were kidnapped for a molecule worth of information, and were not returned to the world for several days. Their codes were stolen and inputted into a machine that rapidly matched the codes through a series of algorithms. When Raphael achieved a complete strand, in his haste to complete the project, he duplicated the strands and successfully created an embryo. The embryo developed rapidly in the nutrient-rich broth it bathed in. In an hour, the embryo grew into a full adult, but it didn’t stop. It grew old and shriveled into nothing. The failure was a lesson learned, and it made Raphael realize that he would need patience. Even though he had managed to create a complete strand, he did not yet have the sequence right. The process took years. He spent those years deleting and substituting codons. He even sought out more subjects.

Several experiments were fruitless and Daedalus was exasperated with funding the project. Raphael knew that if he didn’t come up with a new one, then he would not only lose funding but the freedom every scientist dreamed of. Daedalus gave him freedoms no other research facility would. Why wasn’t his project working? Raphael suspended the project and returned to Switzerland to rest for thirty days. During the thirty days, he learned that his granddaughter, Lea was pregnant. He went with her to the hospital to view the ultrasound of the baby, and it was the ultrasound that spurred his epiphany. That had been it!

In a mad paroxysm of inspiration, Raphael returned to his home to begin researching about the uterus. His research led to the blueprint of an artificial womb. Instead of “The Womb,” the machine that simulated it was called “The Cauldron.” Due to its size and the amount of various chemicals that went in it, other scientists jokingly saw Raphael as a witch when he returned to Daedalus. He was ridiculed for making “an easy-bake oven for super soldiers.” Providing the U.S. with super soldiers was the last thing on his mind. This wasn’t about the U.S. or scientific breakthroughs. It was about creating a human; about being God. The idea fascinated Raphael to no end. He became obsessed and what other scientists believed, mentally ill the closer he drew to The Cauldron’s completion. After a year, The Cauldron was completed. Raphael tested the machine and what came out of it was no “easy bake super soldier.” It was an abomination!

The abomination destroyed the lab and endangered several brilliant minds and killed several agents. The creature resembled a mound of malformed flesh and bone, stomping around on its massive ape-like fists and dragging its shriveled legs. It had taken several bullets to take the creature down and its body was burned. Raphael was fired and deported back to Switzerland. The notes for his project were said to have been incinerated so that no one could ever reproduce them. The failure weighed on Raphael’s heart. Perhaps he was too old. His story wasn’t over yet.

Around the 1980s, Raphael was approached by a mysterious man named Rex Howitzer. The man was an American weapons developer who knew Raphael from when he used to work for Daedalus. Rex had also worked for Daedalus, but they both had specialized in different areas. Rex revealed to Raphael that after he had left that he too had left Daedalus, having saved up enough money to start his own private business. Rex reminded him of The Cauldron and the abomination, but he didn’t do so to insult him. Rex had been morbidly fascinated by the creature, and he wanted to give Raphael the chance to recreate it. Rex loved power, and he relished how the creature had instilled so much fear. They almost had to call the Army to take it down. Raphael suspected Rex’s sinister ideas, but his aching desires to return to the lab were greater than the money Rex offered him to recreate The Cauldron. Rex told him that he had built an underground lab for him beneath a software firm called Gluckweich (Lucksoft (German)). He wanted him to continue his work there in secrecy.

While in the U.S., Rex continued to contract with Daedalus and was approached one day by a beautiful woman by the name of Claire Richards. He and Richards had a fling, and the following day, he never saw her again. Rex was frightened that he might have disclosed The Cauldron to her and made a phone call to warn Raphael.

Before the phone call and before Rex’s fling with Richards, Raphael had completed the Cauldron and was in the process of recreating the abomination. Rex had salvaged a few of Raphael’s notes, but the code for Abomination had been too smudged and warped from the document being damaged that he could barely read it properly. He typed into The Cauldron the sequence he thought was written on the paper. A cell was created from the genes and within The Cauldron’s amnion broth, they rapidly began to multiply. Raphael watched the cells form into an embryo and grow not into a creature but a humanoid fetus. The scientist was in awe. This was the birth of man. In a white light within a chamber full of red fluid, he watched the fetus grow into an infant, child, adolescent, and then a man. He had done it! Adam! He had made Adam! Raphael celebrated for a moment before he realized that Adam hadn’t been what Rex wanted. Rex had wanted an abomination and not a human.

For days, Raphael monitored Adam’s formation, while also pondering on a way to remove him from The Cauldron. He was afraid to release Adam, fearing that he would perish. He had finally done it, and he didn’t want his hard work to vanish. Raphael soon received a call from Rex warning him about a spy by the name of Claire Richards who may visit soon. Raphael knew then that he had no choice. To protect Adam, he would have to release him. Raphael drained and opened the cauldron. Adam was like a newborn babe when he awoke in the world. The world was completely alien to him and Raphael, pleased with his creation, almost named him Adam. No; Adam had been the name Daedalus wanted him to have. Raphael named him Gideon, a name he would have given his son if he had one. Raphael initially had to teach Gideon how to bathe, feed, and clothe himself. He didn’t have much time to teach him more things before the Black Swan infiltrated the lab.

During their exchange, Raphael revealed that he knew her pseudonym Claire Richards, which had led the swan to believe that the scientist knew more than he should. She attempted to take his life only to be stopped by Gideon. Raphael, surprised by Gideon’s reaction, introduced him to her. Right after, Gideon surprised him even more when he killed her. A mere punch to the woman’s face had caused her head to snap backwards harshly with blood streaming from her shattered nose. An explosive ki burst out of the back of her skull. The swan’s sudden death had not only horrified Raphael, but it had also terrified Gideon. The heavy-handed buffoon didn’t know his own strength!

When Rex returned and learned what happened to the spy and the abomination, at first he was disappointed. Raphael’s Adam was an idiot, who somehow killed a spy who had taken out every security officer in the lab. Raphael explained to Rex that Adam was just young and needed time to mentally grow. Rex, eager to make profits off The Cauldron and Adam, sold them both to the U.S. government. Raphael’s past sins were forgiven by Daedalus who happily welcomed him and Adam/Gideon. Gideon, under the name Adam, underwent several combat and reaction tests. He failed every test to Raphael’s disbelief. He deduced that Gideon was too mentally young to understand the purpose of the tests. He saw them only as punishment and Raphael volunteered to educate him. Daedalus, however, used an instructor from The Agency, Victor Ramos, to train Gideon, believing Raphael to be too old and soft.

It was Victor who revealed that the technique Gideon used was a supernatural form of Qigong. He pushed Gideon further, allowing him to unlock his first potential: Red. Raphael watched how Gideon and Victor grew close. Victor was manipulating Gideon to believe that his calling was to serve the United States in war. He was a hero and he was special, and that they would need him. Daedalus, one day approached Raphael and told him that he wasn’t needed. They had found a way to reproduce his research and that Gideon was no longer his property but property of the U.S. government. Raphael was furious. Ever since Victor came into the picture, he hadn’t had any interaction with Gideon and now they were planning to just cut him off completely? Raphael desperately sought out Gideon one last time before The Agency could remove him from the premises.

Gideon was already calling himself, “Adam” and believing himself to be the U.S.’s saving grace. Raphael told him his true name and told him that he was his son. His last words to him were to seek out the truth and he’d find it. Daedalus removed Raphael from the premises and deported the doctor back to Switzerland. The Agency planned on keeping an eye on him to make sure he couldn’t re-contact Gideon.

Victor tried to dissuade Gideon from growing curious about his origins. He wanted his focus to only be on the U.S. and its missions. Gideon one night went behind Victor’s back to the Daedalus research division. He saw The Cauldron and saw the beings they were trying to create with it. Was this how he was created? There were so many kidnapped individuals, and it didn’t seem right that he was created through such methods. Victor had followed him and tried to give Gideon a choice to accept the life of Adam or be labeled a genetic failure. The Agency would do everything in their power to do away with him if he chose the latter. They didn’t need him anymore now that they were able to replicate Raphael’s technology.

Gideon boldly chose the latter and was forced to fight Victor. Victor was confident he would easily best Gideon for he was the one who taught him what he knew. He knew all of his moves. In desperation and in his determination to not give up, Gideon activated his second potential: White. He swiftly took down Victor and activated his third potential: Blue to destroy the lab. Gideon fled the country. As much as he wanted to see his father again, he suspected The Agency would be expecting him to return to Switzerland. Gideon was forced to wander…alone.

Daedalus was able to rebuild the lab, and though they lost some data in the destruction, they were able to recreate Project Adam. They used it to create super soldiers and they send the soldiers after Gideon to test their strength against The Original. Gideon has so far remained undefeated, and it could have possibly been because they couldn’t completely recreate the same code Raphael had used to create Gideon. Servants of The Agency was what Gideon called them or simply Agents, and they were his sworn enemy for as long as they continued to seek him out. Howitzer tries to persuade Gideon to work for him. Every now and then, Howitzer will approach Gideon to try and recruit him; however, Gideon refuses. Gideon hopes to be able to meet Raphael again someday, but until then, he’s been traveling to better himself and to experience the world in the life that was given to him.

FIGHTING STYLE

Gideon specializes in close-combat, and using qigong, his motions are not so hard-hitting. It is the ki charged in his fists or feet (wherever he is charging ki), and which is released that generates the explosive, crippling effects his blows are renowned to generate. When sparring with friends or opponents who he has no intention of harming, he doesn’t use his qigong. Gideon can harden and soften his muscles, using the contractions as a weapon with his qigong. He can even control several functions in his body, compacting himself to appear as a kid to better hide from his pursuers. Gideon’s Red technique augments his physical strength. It sacrifices speed for strength, allowing him to overpower or match larger foes. When fighting foes who are swift, Gideon can invoke his White technique which sacrifices strength for speed. White makes his moves rapid-fire and though they aren’t as strong as they would be in normal mode or Red mode, with his qigong techniques, they can wear an enemy down overtime. Blue is Gideon’s ability to project ki. This is when all his concentrated ki becomes a destructive force. He can invoke Blue when fighting ranged enemies or when taking on multiple enemies at once. Special and Super moves for each mode are explained below.

⍟ Qigong

The technique utilizes the "qi" or life force of the user's own body in the form of instantaneous blasts. By building up qi in the body and exerting out the pressure with enough force, powerful energy attacks can be unleashed without any prior movement. Since qi is controlled in the body using the mind, it can be exerted from various places in Gideon's body.

⍟ Body Supremacy

Gideon has near or complete control over the movements and functions of his muscles, bones, veins, etc. being able to move with remarkable grace, athletic and acrobatic skill. He can control his flesh and blood to move at both his conscious and subconscious command, which allows him to take control over his motions, augmenting himself so that he can activate his three potentials: Red, White, and Blue. He can resist forced motor control by others who are capable of possession, telekinesis, and blood manipulation, and he can chibify himself to hide from pursuers.

⍟ Chibi

As a chibi, Gideon's strength is greatly reduced. While he is still capable of martial arts, his strength would probably only hurt other kids. He uses this form to hide his ki and to hide from his pursuers. As a chibi, Gideon is as normal as any child.

SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES

⍟ Burst Fist

Gideon builds ki in his fists and delivers three punches against an opponent's mid-section. Each strike erupts in an orange, fiery explosion of ki from the opponent's back.

⍟ Comet Strike

Gideon leaps into the air and his foot will light on fire as he descends toward an opponent. If impact is made, then the ki charged in his foot will release upon an explosion.

⍟ Titty Twister

Gideon's least serious but effective technique. He vigorously rubs his hands together to build friction. Static will build in his hands until they start to flicker with electricity. He will then grab his opponents by their nipples, giving them a painful twist and release the built up charge for an an electrifying shock. It is...uncertain why he knows this ability or uses it. Then again, he already is a "special" case.

Red

⍟ Shield Breaker

Gideon builds ki in his fist, drawing it back and then thrusting it forward like a shell leaving a cannon. The destructive strike can damage the strongest of shields, the ki charged in the attack forcefully escaping to disrupt all other functions. This same move allows him to break through a lot of sturdy barriers/obstacles.

⍟ Counter

Gideon will contract his muscles seconds before an opponent's strike lands on his body, the sudden contraction releases ki that collides with where the opponent's fist or foot landed, countering the force and returning it along with the charged ki. The returned attack appears with a burst of red ki, spreading over the opponent. Counter is as lethal as his opponent and can be used against them.

⍟ Earthbreaker

Gideon will counter an opponent's punch, pulling them into a hold. Once trapped in his arms, Gideon will concentrate his ki into the slam. When Gideon supplexes the enemy, the ground erupts beneath them, exploding with red ki. The move can destroy an opponent's back if they aren't careful.

White

⍟ Afterimage Strike

Gideon will move so fast that he'll leave an afterimages of himself. Whether he's punching or kicking, he'll leave three afterimages in a row behind him. Once the first strike is made, the three afterimages will deliver the following strikes.

⍟ Pummel

When Gideon's arms become a blur of rapidly moving fists. The punches are difficult to lock onto because they also leave afterimages that add to the devastation and number of landed strikes.

⍟ Fire Wheel

Gideon will charge an enemy and cartwheel. His hands and feet erupt in white fire as he spins like a wheel toward an opponent. If struck by the wheel, Gideon's hands will catch the opponent and force them to be crushed over and over by his wheeling until momentum is lost.

Blue

⍟ Ki Bomb

A slow-moving pulsing orb of blue ki will float towards an enemy and detonate after 5 seconds or whenever Gideon causes it to detonate.

⍟ Sniper!

Gideon will bring both of his hands together and point his fingers like a gun--forefingers and thumbs extended. He will then fire a beam of blue ki at an enemy over a long-range as dictated by RoC (Rule of Cool).

⍟ Blue Ray

Gideon will toss an orb of ki into the sky, and then extend his arm, palm up in the direction of his opponent. The ki will descend in a huge destructive beam over his opponent.

SUPER MOVES

⍟ Red, White, and Blue!

Gideon invokes all three potentials. He’s bathed in an aura of red, white and blue ki. Gideon will then rapidly assault his opponent, pummeling them relentlessly as ki builds up in his opponent’s body until erupting in a patriotic explosion.

⍟ Star-Spangled Cannon

Gideon invokes all three potentials. He’s bathed in an aura of red, white and blue ki. Extending his arms in the direction of his opponent, he releases a huge beam of red, white, and blue ki that has white stars spiraling about it. The destructive beam annihilates anyone and anything in its path in patriotic glory.

⍟ Blazing Rockets

Gideon invokes all three potentials. He’s bathed in an aura of red, white, and blue ki. He then charges his body and releases it in the form of rocket-like projectiles that will pepper the earth in explosions.

WEAKNESSES & LIMITS

Naïve Gideon can be quite the sucker and can be led into traps very easily. He is inexperienced in the world and so isn’t used to the guile of other humans. This makes him easy to rob or swindle. He also doesn’t understand when others are attracted to him, so most people will find him to be dimwitted when he turns down a pretty face. He just doesn’t think about those things and is too inexperienced.

Red His red technique reduces his speed, so he’s slow and lumbering. Gideon’s stamina is higher in this mode due to him being able to conserve his energy with his slower movements; however, he will have a harder time landing attacks on swifter enemies.

White He sacrifices strength for speed. He will be faster but he won’t deal as much damage as he would in normal or red mode. He expends the most stamina in this mode and so can tire very quickly.

Blue Gideon can deplete his energy quickly with blue. He is basically releasing the ki that he usually concentrates in his body. He will not use this potential frequently due to those reasons. This mode he uses for swift finishers and to perform a short stunt.

Changing Potentials Shifting between potentials can tire Gideon out, which is why he has to try and only invoke a potential when he absolutely needs it. Otherwise, he’ll avoid using them if he can and fight in normal mode.

Good Food Gideon loves free food and buffets. Who wouldn’t? A cook could easily win him over. He has a lot of cells to feed with energy.

Starvation The worst feeling he could ever experience. When he becomes hungry, he refuses to do anything but whine and complain about how empty his stomach is. He is also physically weak during this period. His body will shrivel and deteriorate if he doesn’t keep it fed.

Chibi When in his chibi guise, Gideon is as weak as a human child. He usually takes on this form to conserve and hide his ki as well as hide from those pursuing him.

Weaponless He just doesn't use weapons. His fists and feet are lethal enough.

Bro Gideon can make a good bro to any character, desiring one. His innocent and playful personality can make him feel like a little brother to others.

[Punished GN]

@Holy Soldier Yes. You have fulfilled me and @Savo's trashy dreams with Veronica. Both characters seem good to me, accepted.

[Punished GN]

@wxps350@dragonmancer@Savo@The book of bad juju@redbaron1234@DeadBeatWalking

Okay, this is the part where I bug everyone to post. Because it's been waaay too damn long.

[KremeSupreme]

So, is SYM-04 okay now?

[Punished GN]

@wxps350 I missed the edits. Yeah, he's cool. Accepted.

[Holy Soldier]

@Mr Allen JSo can we assume that the Fighting Cup is just going on currently? Or did you only want people to post competing in the cup around a certain point? Gideon won't be competing, but Veronica will be because she thought someone like Gideon would be competing, so she's basically searching for him.

@Holy Soldier

The cup hasn't started yet. I wanted everyone to gather together and maybe do a bit of trash talking before the tournament begins, but I guess if it's really useful you can say it's ongoing.
