[quote=@Old Amsterdam] [@Lugubrious] Sorry for the delay, been dealing with some... Issues in another RP's discord. But here's Zer0. Let me know if anything needs edited or explained / details added / changed. [hider=Zer0] [b]Name:[/b] Zer0 [b]Game Origin:[/b] Borderlands 2 [b]Appearance:[/b] [Hider=Full Body] [Img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/343748202379608065/523536858819461141/steamworkshop_webupload_previewfile_121196849_preview.png[/img][/hider] [Hider=Challenger Card] [Img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/343748202379608065/523536859347812358/Zer0.png[/img][/hider] [b]Personality:[/b] Zer0 is an enigma. Very literal, he only speaks in haiku, and ultimately a rather silent type. Zer0 is the epitome of 'mysterious' and his personality greatly reflects that. Some may even wonder if he's even human... [b]Background:[/b] [I] Warning, contains Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The PreSequel spoilers on the off chance that you're [b]still[/b] avoiding those. [/I] Zer0, the mysterious Assassin, has led a life. Probably. From being 'recruited' by Handsome Jack just to have an attempt on his life made, Zer0 and the other surviving Vault Hunters teamed up to.... Kill Handsome Jack. Which they did, murdering thousands of people along the way as they paved a path of destruction against the psychos of Pandora's wastelands. Having killed the Warrior, an ancient alien weapon, and Jack there were some other adventures from battling Pirates to a Tournament to the death to hunting in the wilds to torturing a guy for information while their friends played DnD upstairs! Since then, Zer0 and the other living Vault Hunters had teamed up with other Vault Hunters, searching the Galaxy for new Vaults and allies for a mysterious war that loomed on the horizon. And if there's one thing Zer0 knows, it's murder and mystery. [b]Specialty:[/b] Stealth | Assassin | Decoy [b]Level:[/b] 1 [b]Experience:[/b] 0/10 [b]Powers:[/b] [list] [*] Stealth.

I hope you'll enjoy playing as him! Meanwhile, say hello to Tora, the soon-to-be team's brand new [s]comic relief[/s] [s]meatshield[/s] mechanic. [hider=Tora] [b]Name:[/b] Tora [b]Game Origin:[/b] Xenoblade Chronicles 2 [b]Appearance:[/b] [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/xenoblade/images/c/cf/XC2-Tora-Artwork.png/revision/latest?cb=20171121010155[/img] Tora is a Nopon with a tiger-like coat of light and orange-brown, with a cream-colored underbelly and tips. He stands exceptionally tall for a Nopon at about three feet, and is accordingly heavy. [b]Personality:[/b] Like all Nopon, Tora is both gluttonous and frugal, but these are far from his most defining traits. Most notable are his passion for mechanics and inventing, and his desire to be a Driver and go on adventurers. He's the kind to focus on his work to a fault, locking himself up for hours on hours, forsaking sleep and proper care to get his projects just right. He's almost as passionate about games, like Tiger Tiger!, which he made himself. In this regard he is brilliant and ingenious, capable of great accomplishments, but in others he is lacking. 'Obsessive' characterizes him pretty well, and it's lead him to be somewhat of a shut-in despite being very friendly and liking to talk and socialize with others. Of course, this is also in part because of his tendency to decide his activities by what interests him, forsaking duties and people that do not. Regardless, he's a fun and goofy character, however awkward, annoying, or dumb-seeming at times, and he's happy to make friends and help them out however he can. [b]Background:[/b] Tora's story begins with a simple fact: pretty much no Nopon is able to resonate with a Core Crystal and awaken a Blade. When young, newly enamored with the idea of becoming a powerful and respected Driver, he tried along with his grandfather Soosoo and his father Tatazo to resonate with a Core Crystal, but all failed. Yet, the three remained determined, and together the three Nopon put their collective smarts and ingenuity to work to make an artificial Blade. The project demanded countless hours of obsessive devotion, and the help of a number of assistants like Muimui, but the trio put the work in. Not long after the invention of two key components, the Ether Furnace and the Black Box, a masked Nopon entered the workshop with a gang of savage Tirkin, shot Soosoo, and captured Tatazo. Only Tora escaped. Tora made his way to Torigoth, the largest city on Gormott, and in its underbelly made himself a home. Sad and alone but not robbed of his mechanical aptitude nor inventive spirit, he lived a shut-in life as he worked to make money and achieve his family's dream. His nature led him afoul of the Ardanian soldiers that protected Torigoth more than once, and after a couple years, his low-key resentment for the 'bully soldiers' led him to take a potshot with his newly-invented Boom Biter at a water line to allow a couple of strangers, who he recognized as a Driver and Blade, to escape. That was how Tora met Rex and Pyra, a fated duo, and embarked on an adventure that would span the whole world. Before setting out, however, Tora was able to complete -with Rex's help- his greatest work: the realization of his father and grandfather's dreams, an Artificial Blade he named Poppi. The two maintain an extremely close bond despite her occasional disrespectful behavior. Since he is only a Driver because of her and she is one of his only friends, he values her immensely. With Poppi at his side, Tora joined Rex on his mission to bring Pyra to the mythical place known as Elysium. On the way, while staying at an inn in Alba Cavanich, his group awoke during the night to the sounds of an attack. After rushing outside and engaging the perpetrator in a chase, Tora discovered to his surprise that the attacker was none other than a robotic girl he identified as Lila—the artificial Blade that was the life's work of his father, Tatazo. Lila escaped, but eventually the crew tracked her to a remote facility where they found that Tatazo was alive, and being forced to manufacture soulless Artificial Blades against his will as weapons of war for the chairman of Argentum Trade Guild, Bana. Tora freed his father and reconciled with him, only to come under attack from Lila and Tirkin mercenaries under the control of Bana and Muimui, who revealed his hand in the attack on the family workshop so long ago. In the ensuing struggle, however, Poppi helped Lila break free from Bana's control, and then developed a new combat form in the fight against Bana and Muimui's ultimate Artificial Blade, Rosa. Tora and his friend ultimately prevailed, leading to the arrest of Bana and Muimui and the recovery of Tatazo. Tora's journey, however, was far from over. To repay his friends for helping him, and to live up to the mantle of a Driver, he remained with Rex and the rest to see their quest through. In the end, though, their mission came to an abrupt stop in a beam of all-consuming light. [b]Specialty:[/b] Tank [b]Level:[/b] 1 [b]Experience:[/b] 0/10 [b]Powers:[/b] [list] [*]Incredible Constitution – whether it be as a result of his genetics, some mutation, or a blessing from the Architect himself, Tora's spongy, bouncy body is unbelievably durable. While he feels pain and can be stunned like anyone else, he is extremely difficult to wound, and even when wounded, heals remarkably quickly. He can survive falling hundreds of meters, come out of the typically fatal Core Crystal rejection process with a mere nosebleed, and facetank direct hits from enemies like the dark warrior Malos and the giant robot Rosa, just to name a few of his feats [/list] [b]Strengths:[/b] [list] [*]Whiz Kid – Tora is a brilliant mechanic and inventor, discerning of eye and crazy with hands. Given enough time to tinker, he can make all sorts of useful gear and machinery, made all the better by the right materials and a second set of eyes. Given that he's the Nopon who built and programmed Poppi, a powerful Blade with her own consciousness and free will, one can scarcely underestimate the handiness of this handyman. [*]Attention Getter – conducive to his role as a tank, Tora has a knack for grabbing others' focus when he wants to, though whether being annoying and obnoxious is truly a strength is up for debate. This can help him distract enemies and protect allies, allowing them to work unimpeded. [*]Deductive – while Tora might seem like an idiot or a ditz at times, he's no slouch in the mental department when it comes to figuring things out. He's quick to learn, understand how new things tick, and find flaws or weaknesses. [/list] [b]Weaknesses:[/b] [list] [*]Astonishing Lack of Speed and Agility – thanks to his tiny, stubby legs and profound roundness, Tora is terribly slow and graceless. He can scarcely manage a fast waddle on his own, jump only by flapping his wings, and evade only by unceremoniously tossing himself a foot or two in one direction. [*]Unfortunate Lack of Attack Power and Range– while a good smack from his drill shield can hurt, and its oversized bit and surprise cannonballs can leave a dent, Tora is outdone is stopping power by practically anyone, particularly at range. [*]Social Skills – Tora has two flaws in the social sphere, the first being his tendency to interact with people based on his own interest versus anything else, up to and including just forgetting about people that didn't interest him. The second is his rather socially-unacceptable love for maids and cutesy behavior, which he hides or deflects when he can. [/list] [b]Spirits:[/b] [list] [*] [/list] [b]Kindred Spirits:[/b] Poppi, Rex, Pyra [b]Inventory:[/b] Nopon mechanic's outfit, goggles, wrench, and his drill shield. The [img=https://i.imgur.com/UoWlJPQ.png]drill shield[/img] is a remarkable weapon, containing three small boosters around the edges and a frontal panel that's capable of opening up to extend a drill or fire exploding cannonballs (“Boom Biters”), albeit inaccurately. Though versatile, the drill shield is not a viable offensive weapon, and is best suited for blocking and inarticulate bashing. [/hider]
