Rocket has two sets of blue horns. His first set of horns protrude from either side of his head, curving backwards and up. His second set of horns are the same, although below the first set and smaller. Rocket wears goggles with a blue frame and clear lenses. The goggles have a strap which goes around his head. Rocket has two prosthetic limbs. His right arm is fully prosthetic, being metallic and infused with crystals, and connects to his shoulder. The prosthetic has a thumbless glove. His left arm sports a metallic armlet that covers most of his upper arm, also wearing a matching glove. Rocket's left leg is just like his right arm, being a prosthetic, with different parts of the inside machinery visible. Rocket wears gray pants and sports shoes that are a darker shade of gray. His namesake gear, the Rocket Launcher, has a gray barrel sporting neon blue accents. The front of the launcher has a neon blue ring followed by a darker gray cylinder. A small dark gray scope is is found on the left-hand side of the barrel while the grip and trigger are found below. The back of the rocket launcher tapers outwards with 2 small gray and blue stripes running horizontal across it. The launcher is completely hollow from the back to the front. Rocket is a Phighter who currently does not align himself with any faction. He was formerly with Playground, but he does not associate himself with them anymore and is now factionless. Originally, Rocket came from Playground and resided there, spawning into the world with no biological parents. He was always angry towards everything and was constantly involved in malicious acts and violence. An engagement with a specific Playground group led to his decision to leave the Playground faction. Some time after, Zuka had found Rocket and adopted him. Due to his past affiliation with Blackrock, this lead to unwanted attention in which Rocket took it personally sometimes. Zuka’s connection to Venomshank caused him to meet Sword and they became best buddies. Rocket is described to be "clingy, hyperactive, bit of a hardhead". He's very excitable and hyper, however he's also a little clumsy. He enjoys blowing things up. Zuka is Rocket's adoptive father. Sword is Rockets best friend. Rocket doesn't like any Phighters from Playground. Rocket can't swim with his arm and has to be careful with his strength from the advanced tech. He works with his adoptive father at the family shop making artificial gears since some people dont like the ones they spawned in with. Rocket is an ISFP. Rocket is ambitious, adaptable, and driven to succeed.

Sword wears a helmet that takes inspiration from Roman praetorian helmets with knightly influence, being made of metal with openings for his horns and a mohawk in the back. His mohawk is mostly red, the inside of it gray. The mohawk starts at the very top of the helmet, and stopping after 90 degrees in the back. On the front of his helmet, Sword has 2 horns, short and curving upwards into a spike. Below his right eye, Sword has a scar, with 2 stitches going through it. Around Sword's neck, he wears a cape, with the uppermost layer of the cape light gray, and the bottom dark gray. On the cape near his left shoulder, Sword has a small brooch, with a grey ring and red gem, reflecting light. The cape takes on the dark gray color, with the cape having 3 ruffles across. Resting upon his left shoulder, Sword wears a knight pauldron, which rises into a spike. Sword sports a red tank top, adorned with multiple straps across it, and a belt at his waist. The first strap goes over his shoulder, before going back around his back. The second strap connects to the first in the middle of Sword's chest. On both of his hands, Sword wears gloves, of which have thumb-holes. Acting as a sleeve, on his left arm, he has a piece of leather which is directly under the pauldron. Sword wears a completely red shirt, with dark black pants. He wears leather boots, of which have shoelaces, tied into multiple crosses. Sword's namesake gear is akin to an arming sword which is made to be wielded one-handed and symmetrical in shape. The blade of the sword is made of metal, curving inwards on itself in the center, though pointed at the tip. The hilt of the sword is a one-piece combo of a heft, with the top of it neon red. The blade's pommel is rounded at the edges, metal. Sword is a Phighter from the region of Lost Temple. Despite his allegiance to the faction, he was raised outside of Lost Temple and currently lives with Venomshank separate from the region.[4] He is the adoptive son of Venomshank, a deity, and trains under him. They live together at the city Crossroads. Sword was adopted by Venomshank, who served as his mentor in swordsmanship. He did not have any parents before he was adopted. Sword is socially awkward and immature, but heartfelt.[8] Being the swordsman son of a deity, he takes pride in learning new and old techniques and utilizing them in combat, especially in phights. This leads him to shout out some of his moves cheesily. Despite this, his gear being a simple unmodified sword leads many to underestimate him on first impression, much to his ire. He tends to speak without thinking first. This sometimes annoys others, such as Medkit. He is faithful to his friends, hyping them up for anything that comes their way and helping them whenever in need. He also has amazing intuition and is easily worked up. Medkit is a close friend to Sword. Their relationship is described to be fraternal. Through Venomshank’s connection to Zuka, Sword meets Rocket and they have become best friends since. Rocket is someone he commonly talks to. Sword does not have any reproductive organs.

Zuka wears a featureless dark gray peaked cap. He has a bandage on his left cheek and four gray horns, two emerging from each side of his head. Said horns wrap around his head and taper into spikes, similar to Rocket's, but differing in color. His top right horn is damaged at the tip, and he lost his right arm in his youth. Zuka wears a lighter gray bandanna around his neck, a gray zipped jacket with pockets, and a black driving glove on his remaining hand. His right sleeve is tied up into a knot in place of his missing arm. Around his waist, Zuka sports a utility belt with a small bag on his hip along with light gray pants and black military boots. Zuka is a relatively stoic inphernal, being one of the oldest known mortal inphernals in the Inpherno. He is very blunt in his interactions with others, preferring to get to the point of a matter. Zuka can be very sassy when asked questions he deems stupid, such as when asked about his lack of a prosthetic arm. Despite previously being a soldier for Blackrock, even being faction ambassador, he does not enjoy using his gear, to the point of hoping that he never has to pick it up again. Unlike other inphernals, he no longer possesses the natural instinct to phight others. He feels shame for his past as a legend, yet misses being a part of Blackrock when, in his opinion, it was more like a close-knit family. He struggled adjusting to civilian life when he retired, suffering night terrors for a while after the change. He has a complicated relationship with the Swords, as he lost his arm to one of them; who he lost it to is unknown. Despite his curt and reserved nature, Zuka actively helps the other vendors in Crossroads, and has a soft spot for his adoptive son, Rocket. Due to them sharing the same gear classification, Zuka taught Rocket his abilities. He raised Rocket unconditionally, without asking for anything in return. Despite this, he would rather that Rocket didn't participate in Phights, or mess with pyrotechnics. On Zuka's birthday, he begrudgingly allows Rocket to throw him a celebration.Zuka is missing his right arm and part of his larger horn on the left side of his head is broken off. The reason behind this is not stated anywhere. He was once a former soldier of Blackrock. Accordingly, he was extremely famous and it can be stated that "everyone in Blackrock knew his name". He has since retired and runs Da Shop. He's the adoptive father of Rocket and adopted him after he had blown his limbs up. He disapproves of Rocket having fun with pyrotechnics nor his participation in Phights, according to Rocket's dialogue with other Phighters. He has ties to Venomshank and has worked with the deities. Zuka has been stated to be favored by some of the deities, Firebrand and Darkheart explicitly so. The deities are called SFOTH and represent different swords. Zuka previously worked together with Darkheart. Zuka once thought of Darkheart as a friend, however this feeling was not mutual, as Darkheart saw him more as something to play with. Darkheart would still be chummy with Zuka even if they don't work together anymore. Zuka despises Illumina. Rocket is Zuka's adopted son. Through Rocket’s connection to Sword, Zuka and Sword know each other. While The Broker considers Zuka his friend, this is a one-sided relationship. Zuka just works with The Broker. He is a quiet snorer. Zuka does not want someone to put prosthetics on him. Zuka wishes to never have to pick up his gear, a bazooka, again. Zuka helps others a lot, even sometimes closing up shop early and losing money from it just to help sometimes. Zuka sometimes has nightmares from his ptsd back when he was a soldier for Blackrock. Zuka prefers to keep interaction with the SFOTH deities brief since they're the reason he lost his arm in the first place. Zuka taught rocket how to use his gear. Zuka does not have any reproductive organs.
