Name: Rho-Hux. The Constrictor of Caddadast. Species: Gealtirocht. Age: 63. Faction Alignment: UCL Height: 8 ft BACKGROUND PRIOR TO BEING SELECTED FOR THE MISSION: A former Major In the UCL Military, Rho-Hux Rho-Hux devoted his existence to being a soldier. When given a mission he would spend hours researching his foes, the landscape, similar battles, and equipment that may be used on both sides. Once he became a Major, he excepted all those under his leadership to be up to par with the latest military information. His most famous mission was Operation Swamp Dragon. His battalion was to aid in taking over the city of Caddadast on the planet Omia. Omia was a planet made up mostly of dangerous swamps, and Caddadast was a well-fortified city. After trying and failing to breach the walls, Rho-Hux decided to starve the city out. He ordered his forces to poison the swamp water around the city preventing them from fishing or receiving clean water from within their home. Every time a group went out to get resupplies from elsewhere, Rho-Hux would launch a series of brutal guerilla attacks. The final nail in the coffin came when Rho-Hux received some anti-aircraft reinforcements. Soon the citizens of Caddadast found themselves trapped within their own city without food or clean water. This victory earned Rho-Hux the nickname of “The Constrictor of Caddadast.” However, Rho-Hux's battalion came to an end when they came across a stray Abzu entity. It wiped out Most of Rho-Hux's battalion with only him and a few survivors seeking shelter in the wilderness. They were classified as MIA for months until Rho-Hux was found alone and half-starving in a cave. His story about what happened during his time in hiding are inconsistent, and due to his deteriorating mental health, he was discarded from the military. REASON FOR MISSION RECRUITMENT: Rho-Hux, having known nothing outside of life on the battlefield, and not wanting to grow old and be forced to spend his life in an institution, heard distant rumors about the mission and hacking into some classified files. He has gone on the run and is trying to join this mission so he may serve a higher calling again. Rho-Hux wishes to die on the battlefield for the good of the UCL. He sees himself as nothing but a soldier. Ethereology: “Ghosting” as some people call it. Rho-Hux can mute any noise he makes (like footsteps and breathing), remove his scent, and change his body temperature to match the environment around him. While this does not make him invisible; it does aid him greatly in stealth missions and when combined with his Octopus suit, he seemingly disappears from existence only to reappear behind his soon to be deceased enemies. The drawback to this power (other than the usual drawbacks to ether powers) is that if Rho-Hux were to be set on fire while using this power, his body temperature would rise dramatically, causing him to burn internally and externally." Strengths: -four arms, each can hold a weapon. -skilled swordsmen -stealthy -years of experience -loyal and respectful to allies [u][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/u] -Fire damages his gear, disrupts his Ethereology, and is extremely painful to him (as it is to most organic beings) -His mental state is fragile and is prone to fits of mania and PTSD. -His age is catching up to him. He is not as strong as he was/thinks he is. [u][b]Starting Weaponry, Armor, and Equipment:[/b][/u] Octopus armor: Blends in with the environment around it. This when combined with his ether power makes Rho-Hux nearly impossible to detect. It is light and offers more mobility for the wearing at the price of not being as sturdy for defensive as other advanced suits of armor. It also malfunctions horribly if set on fire for too long. Grapple Battle Rifle. Twin SMG guns. Daishō sword set. THEME SONG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBdQDGGNg8E
