Toonopolis Fighting World

Theme: “Black Hole Sun” by Soundgarden [[ link ]]

Description: Nephrid is a tall modestly built man. He has tousled red and black hair and dark skin. His most noticeable feature, however, is his large mechanical left arm. Nephrid is usually clad in tattered black armor. His black jeans as in equally bad condition. He also dons a long beige coat that drags behind him as he walks.

Attitude: Nephrid is the ultimate loner. He refuses to share his feelings with others and often appears cold and detached. He has been wronged so many times in the past that it seems that he has just given up on life. Despite his depressed exterior, he has a kind, almost caring soul. He is always kind to those he meets and hates loss of life, unless it is absolutely necessary. This glimmer of humanity in an otherwise inhuman personality is the result of the regret he has for the life of crime he continually pursues.

Strengths: Nephrid is cold and calculating and may use intelligent tactics to destroy his enemies. Nephrid is also very skillful with his swords and has learned to be agile and quick while using them, despite the weight.

Weaknesses: Nephrid is not without a conscience and, thus, he is often reluctant to kill or maim people. Also, his metal arm has a relatively slow reaction time, and may hamper his sword fighting from time to time.

Finishing Move: Dark Tomorrow [Nephrid draws out one of his two giant swords and slashes upwards at his opponent, sending them flying through the air. He sheathes his sword and uses his telepathic abilities to keep them afloat. The opponent is then swung from side to side into the adjacent walls of the area. Once he is finished, Nephrid sends them flying into the ceiling rafts and lets them fall right onto his swords, which he sends spiraling upwards.]

Origin: Nephrid was born in squalor on the streets of Yestar on the fifth planet of the Sevnac system. Yestar was a heavy industrialized city and the putrid streets were just as bad as the smog-filled atmosphere. Since childhood Nephrid was constantly abandoned and eventually began to fight for survival on the streets. At the age of thirteen, he hopped aboard a sludge barge and left Sevnac 5 and Yestar behind him.

After a brief period of ship-hopping, he hopped aboard the Icarus, a pirate freighter captained by an outlaw who went by the name of Maarlti Yerr. Luckily for Nephrid, Maarlti had a soft spot for the kid and took him under his wing. Unfortunately, a few years later during a raid on a drug freighter Maarlti and his crew met their doom during an attempted escape. Nephrid just barely managed to escape in the battle-scarred Icarus. His arm was mangled horribly when it was crushed by debris from the explosion that killed the crew.

Since then, he called upon his experiences as a child and Maarlti’s teachings to aid him in smuggling and pirating. Every so often, between jobs he would take time out to educate himself about the universe.

Nephrid eventually rescued a broken down android from a doomed sludge barge. He has stood by Nephrid ever since.

Soon, though, money began to get tight. New laws were strictly enforced, making smuggling and pirating almost impossible. Nephrid’s android, though, had an idea. He had heard about some sort of fighting federation on a backwater planet and proposed that Nephrid join it. Reluctantly, Nephrid accepted and together the two set out to the so-called ‘Toonopolis Fighting Federation’.

Manager

Name: C-R4P
Height/Weight: 3′2″/122 lbs.
Race: Android

Description: C-R4P, or Fourpee as he is known, is a rather short battle android. He is crimson colored with silver joints. His head is an orb with a piece of metal that looks like a protruding jaw. This “jaw” gives him a rather tough countenance.

Attitude: C-R4P is sarcastic and annoying. His incisive wit and relative geniality make him the perfect complement to Nephrid’s dark, brooding personality. He is extremely sensitive about his height deficiency and will beat anyone who mentions it to a bloody pulp.

Origin: C-R4P was one of the galaxy’s old police bots. Armed to the teeth with weapons, they once represented the ultimate in crime fighting technology. Then they became obsolete. Each one of the old androids was deactivated and were sent out of the galaxy in empty sludge barges. Fortunately for C-R4P, Nephrid managed to save him from being set adrift in the endless void.
