Steven Universe: Second Gem War

Halite

Name
Halite, The Berserker

Appearance:
Halite is... big. Nearly as tall as some fusions, nearly as wide from muscle mass. His face is constantly twisted in rage due to the carefully placed imperfections in his gem affecting his ability to feel other emotions. His skin SHOULD be a ghostly white, but becomes reddish-pink due to the sheer amount of anger he feels at all times. He usually shows up wearing a simple jumpsuit.

Gender:
Male

Personality:
Halite is constantly seething with rage. Nobody knows if he has some traumatic event in his past, if he's been hit hard by the betrayal of Homeworld, or if he's just belligerent. While option three IS definitely true, there's a much simpler explanation: His gem was purposely flawed in order to make sure he was constantly angry in an attempt to make a more powerful soldier. He actually can't feel any other emotions without also experiencing anger. Because he's so angry, other Gems tend avoid him. They treat him like a machine or some kind of monster. And that makes him furious. It makes him miserable. It means his one joy in life is making the Gems as angry and miserable as he is.

In spite of this, he's found that the rage grants him a twisted clarity. He refuses to take part in the gem war now- seeing all that death, and watching all those humans using what little life they had defending their home has made him realize just how spectacular non-gem life can be... and just how terrible Gem society and psychology is as a whole. Where his former comrades and the earthbound gems see life as a thing that happens, he sees it differently- each and every thing, human, animal, or otherwise, is a miracle. Gems, on the other hand, are a race of psychotic warmongers who care nothing for the thoughts or dreams of others.

Bio:
Halite was born and bred as a warrior. Though a low-end gem, it's amazing what sheer belligerence can accomplish for a warrior. Many of the earthbound gems preach the value of love and friendship for the strength of a warrior, but Halite's incredible service record was powered by hatred and vitriol. As a low-class warrior, he was always treated like crap, and made sure to repay it in kind. He was just as unpleasant, belligerent, and hateful as you'd expect of someone viewed as a meatshield and possible weapon. He ended up getting left behind and corrupted during the Gem War, spreading his gem's influence to a site that would be host to many bloody battles over the centuries.

Then Steven went and healed him. Steven didn't freak out, didn't immediately start barking orders. He wanted to get to know Halite and actually asked him if he wanted to help fight. Halite shrugged and said "Nah," deciding that the Gems' problems were no longer his problems. The rest is history.

Association:
Formerly Homeworld, now neutral.

Gem
Halite- the crystal form of Salt.

Weapon
Sledgehammer

Gem Location
Back of his mouth. Why put a vulnerable spot where enemies can get at it?

Gem Unique Ability
Rage. He's constantly angry, and knows exactly how to make others angry.

Steven Universe: Second Gem War

Honestly, he's got the motivation to come to Earth (kill gems), he's got the skills (fighting style based around hurting Gems), and he's got the backstory (gave up his homeworld, family, and friends to go around space killing gems for years) to make for a villain building off of the Gems' warmongering and lack of respect for the sanctity of non-gem life. Heck, even their lack of respect for gem-based life. Remember Lapis and all the other neat toys they have that are powered by enslaved gems?

Steven Universe: Second Gem War

Yeah, I guess a character based on fighting wouldn't really fit, since this is more of a romance and shipping rp from the looks of things. Sorry to trouble you.

D&D 5E: Waterborne Adventures

YOU CRAZY KIDS, RINGING ME DOORBELL AND RUNNING OFF!

Steven Universe: Second Gem War

Well... his entire backstory is about how much he hates the Gems. He's specifically trained to fight Gems. He came halfway across the galaxy to fight Gems. He's killed several Gems.

But I can see how it would be hard to fit a character dedicated to fighting Gems into an RP about Gems fighting.

Steven Universe: Second Gem War

Name
Gurlack

Appearance:
Covered in scars from the lash, torture devices, and simple combat, he's a battle-hardened veteran of his homeworld's gem war.

Gender:
Male

Personality:
A bounty hunter come to Earth to kill as many Gems as possible. He doesn't know about Rose Quartz's rebellion against the tyrannical aims of the Gem Homeworld, and if he found out, he wouldn't care- he knows of Gems as an immortal race of sociopath warmongers that does not care for the sanctity of mortal life. Years of fighting for his species' freedom against such alien foes has taught him the true meaning of hatred- particularly of Gem-like organisms. And wouldn't you know, a lot of gems use bodies that look like humans. He knows what is best in life: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.

Bio:
A reptilian alien from a world where everything is trying to kill you. The biomes are "ocean constantly suffering from hurricanes," "deserts with arsenic sand," "rainforests with amphibians so toxic they blight any plant they touch," and "somewhat more habitable parts of the rainforest." Gurlack's race were a primitive hunter-gatherer culture when the gems invaded. The fight was brief and bloody. The governor was placed and began the effort of turning the planet into a Kindergarden. However, the Gems didn't count on the local sentients being just as dangerous as everything else on the planet. The savage race of lizards used their mucus to destroy key parts of the occupying Gem infrastructure, eventually leaving the governor blind as the armies advanced through the toxic deserts to attack. That was Gurlack's first major kill. However, the Gem fleet had moved on, leaving the lizardmen with a whole lot of technology they didn't understand. Under most circumstances, this meant they would fall to infighting and use the superior technology to inadvertently destroy themselves. The thing is, they had a common enemy: the Gems. Warriors were loaded into Gem ships and sent to take revenge. Gurlack was one such warrior.

That was millenia ago. Gurlack's spent much of the journey at FTL speeds or in cryosleep, making him much younger than he should be. His friends and family are long dead, but he is known as a hero on his now-civilized homeworld nonetheless- Gurlack the Gemslayer. He set out for Earth a few centuries ago after hearing of a large-scale Gem conflict taking place there. It's always a good idea to pick off the weakened stragglers.

Association:
His homeworld and his people. No more, no less.

Weapon
A spear and shield taken from the late Gem who was in charge of subjugating his homeworld. Has a number of broken gem weapons in his trophy room, but he's not trained with them.

Gem Location
Well, he DOES have a trophy room full of cracked and crushed gems on his ship.

Unique Ability
Can spit a volatile mucus that explodes after prolonged contact with oxygen. Used on his homeworld for hunting. He's also trained to fight Gems specifically- always go for the crystal, get them angry, always keep them off center, mess with the synchronization of Fusions at the first opportunity.

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, Main Stage

"Gentlemen. You've been briefed on what needs to be done. There's a lot of work to do, and not a lot of time to do it. So... let's get moving. I trust you implicitly." Raising his arm in the classic Shocker Salute, he shouted "FOR SHOCKER+, AND OUR FRIENDS! EEE!"

Stepping down, he began to make his way to the back of the restaurant. They'd need to move operations soon, and now it was time to start the legal side of it.

Thunderbolt City, Athas

The Thunderbolt Gang had done a great thing, according to the citizens of Athas. Dwarves, humans, elves, and even the jungle halflings had flocked from the far corners of the wastelands to come to this sprawling greenery. The only permanent structures belonged to an army called "Shocker+", but they were generous with food and water. In fact, there was plentiful water here- which confused many to no end. But they would not look a gift horse in the mouth. Not given the rest of Athas' settlements. The Thunderbolt Gang brought law and plenty to the land of Athas, even if it was only a small piece of it. And it was only a matter of time before the Dragon Kings caught wind of this and stomped them out. But that was not an issue in the minds of the townsfolk.

In the town square, there was another public execution- they'd caught another Defiler trying to drain the life energy of the oasis to increase his power. Given how many innocents (well, what passed for innocents in a place like Athas) now relied on the food and water provided by this lush paradise, this would have meant the deaths of nearly two thousand people- not counting the Thunderbolt Gang.

The main source of income for many of the citizens was the excavation site. It seemed that the Thunderbolt Gang had unearthed a temple and couldn't quite fit their strange artifacts down into it. So, they paid the citizens actual copper coins- easily more valuable than gold in other worlds- to go down and bring back whatever they found. One such group had just returned to find Mr. Thunder setting up his ritual for another rain. The panting human- a psion, judging by those tattoos- was the first to speak.

"Mr. Thunder! Mr. Thunder!"

"What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?" Grumbled Mr. Thunder, as he lowered the Weather Wizard's Wand.

"We think we found something. Something big."

"Big as in important, or big as in large?"

"Both, sir. It's- we couldn't even see all of it. It's the biggest thing I've ever seen and it's in a glass cylinder the center of the temple. Buried under more sand than you can imagine."

"...This is important, lad. What color is it?"

The psion paused for a moment. "Kind of brown-orange?"

"Hot damn we've found it," Mr. Thunder was surprised. Takahara had actually been right about this thing. The biggest, baddest thing on Athas. And they knew where it was. "BOYS! The rainstorm for today is cancelled! We've found the Ravager! Contact The Chibu Corps immediately!"

Shocker City, Job Fair

For the citizens of a city once encompassed by walls, this was... strange. Exceller, the alien who had led the Titankillers, had allowed men with strange armaments and clothes had set up stalls in the town square, talking about working for various armies and corporations. Of course, there were also more mundane professions- law enforcement, firefighters, and even bakers. Such normal professions seemed like only a dream after the Titan attacks. But here they stood. Indeed, the busiest one- frequented by former members of the Survey Corps- was the Shocker+ Mercenary booth. It promised that participants would "Get Paid to Make Your World a Better Place! See Far-Off Lands! Meet New, Exciting People!"

In a deep pit far outside the city, however, the corpses of the Titans that were once trapped in the walls were being placed in a massive hole in the ground. The Valkyrian, the golden dancing humanoid, placed a new Sparkdoll to the Chibu Spark, laughing as the beast materialized.
MONSLIVE! BOGAR!

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, Security Office

Takahara sat in the cushy chair, on the phone jury-rigged to connect to the phonelines of any multiverse. The Jawa who did tech support was tapping his foot impatiently in the corner.

"Hello, is this Genya Arikado? ...No, I don't suspect you'll recognize my voice. It's been... what, six hundred years for you? Yes. Yes, this is he. Takahara. No, I'm not a- look, I'm not a vampire. I'm not immortal either. I- yes I'm human. L- look, just hear me out. As Dracula's next of kin, you're the legal heir to Castlevania. I heard some kid went and killed Chaos, draining a lot of the castle's power. Oh, the KID is Dracula's next of k- what do you mean the kid is Dracula? Look, you're the legal owner, regardless of any metaphysical... It's simple. Dracula died. His property, by his Last Will, the one I convinced him to write in case the Belmonts figured out how to off him for good, passes to YOU. That's why I'm contacting you. ...It's trapped in an eclipse. Alright. That seems a lot like overkill, but I can see why. Look, either way, I've got a business proposition. I want to buy Castlevania. Do you have an asking price?"

There was a brief pause.

"What, that's it? Yeah, I can give it to you in dollars, yen, gold, or whatever. ...A pleasure doing business with you."

MORTAL KOMBAT

Dynamite Sanchez

Name: Dynamite Sanchez
Homeworld: Mictlan, formerly Earthrealm

Appearance: Sanchez is the unliving skeleton of a luchadore, wearing red sweatpants and a white tanktop. As such, there's little in the way of defining features- aside from the fact that his skull is painted like his old wrestling mask.

Fighting Style: High-Flying Lucha Libre. While lacking muscles and blood seriously hampers your ability to build adrenaline or hit hard, it has two distinct advantages: zero air resistance and very little surface area. Because of this, Sanchez is a quick fighter with very high defenses who doesn't have to worry about elemental attacks- without nerves or blood, he has little to fear from fire, ice, or lightning. Because his bones have already petrified, he's also a good deal more durable than the average skeleton. On the flipside, his attacks (save his throws and grapples) are actually pretty weak and he's prone to falling apart during many moves requiring a jump.

Special Abilities:

• Collapse: a defensive trait, where he can mitigate damage by falling into a pile of bones- it can take a bit to reform, however.
• Undeath: poison... just doesn't work. Nor does trying to rip out his heart, shoot his head, or stab his guts.
• Dynamite Suplex: Sanchez's signature move. Performing a bellyslide under his opponent, he kicks up into a handstand, using his legs to catch the opponent under their arms and continuing forward to slam them headfirst into the ground.
• Palo Special: One of Jackie Pallo's signature moves. A leglock in which Sanchez wraps his legs around the opponent's from behind, forces their arms up, and pushes forward, dislocating the opponent's arms.
• Hurricanrana: Let's be honest- you've got to have SOME supernatural abilities to pull this off.

Fatality: Deluxe Dynamite Suplex: Sanchez grabs his opponent, and performs a Dynamite Suplex so hard it causes their skeleton to fly out in a geyser of blood, shooting skyward. He then proceeds to spin and catch the skeleton like a tango partner, catching a rose in his teeth.

Personality: A Technico from the Lucha Libre scene, Dynamite Sanchez is an upstanding citizen. He's annoyingly cheerful. A showman at heart, he's prone to hamming it up for the audience and performing spectacular moves. He will fight you if you say Lucha Libre is fake.

Backstory: Pablo "Dynamite" Sanchez, in life, was a famous Luchadore. His career took him all across Mexico, fighting for the honor of his ancestors against . For centuries, they had been warriors, and the ring was his way of following in their footsteps. However, one night after a match, he was hit by a bus and killed- still wearing his mask. He had a perfect 15-0 win record at the time of his death. This is the start of how he came to join the tournament of Mortal Kombat.

The rest of the story involves a four-year journey to the ninth level of Mictlan, the Aztec land of the dead. He had to pass many challenges, such as crossing a mountain range where the mountains crashed into each other, a field with wind that blew flesh-scraping knives, and a river of blood with fearsome jaguars. By the time he reached the ninth level, he was stripped of flesh and hardened to the horrors of true battle by his journey. He joined the legion of skeletons there... in a fairly normal life. He even continued wrestling- Mictlan's ninth level is more or less a constantly starlit version of Earthrealm, surrounded by the spirits of deceased friends and family. It was pretty sweet. But one day, he overheard the dead talking about a lethal tournament for the fate of Earth. Worse, the losers didn't end up in the afterlife they were supposed to. To the noble Dynamite Sanchez, this was bullshit- how dare someone interfere with the sacred cycles of the cosmos? And worse, how long before the jerk tried to conquer Mictlan?

It turned out that getting OUT of Mictlan is a lot easier than getting in, particularly due to Dia De Los Muertos festivities calling the spirits back to commune with their families. Sanchez took a little extra baggage- his now-calcified skeleton- and proceeded to burst from his grave, much to the surprise of his family. This tale of a warrior who fought his way through the trials of the afterlife twice was quick to reach the ears of Raiden, and the pseudo-revenant was brought into the fold.

Motivation: End the tournament for good and ensure everyone gets to go to the kickass afterlife awaiting them... or reincarnation, if they so prefer.

Aaaand done. Put in a hider to squish the page down.
