✸ ˎˊ˗ Rocket

Despite being naturally spawned in Lost Temple, Sword was taken in by Venomshank as soon as he spawned, who took him to live in Crossroads with him, and serves as Sword's mentor and guardian. Sword had a sheltered upbringing, and thus isn't aware of many major events in the Inpherno, such as having no idea about the Scorch until Darkheart tells him about it. Sword didn't have the chance to talk to other inphernals other than Venomshank until very recently in his life. He is close to Rocket, who is his best friend. He is almost always seen with his signature steel gladiatorial helmet, which was a gift from Venomshank to protect him from any dangers he may face. He is only seen taking it off to go to sleep. Sword is kind-hearted, yet naive. When he has his eyes set on a goal, he is extremely determined and will stop at nothing to achieve it. Venomshank is Sword's mentor and guardian, raising him from spawn and training him to become a great warrior. Venomshank is seen to be very protective of Sword, sheltering him from the outside world and not informing him of critical events like the Scorch. Sword was born on the 22nd of July and is 24 years old. He stands at 5’8 with a slightly bulky, muscular build. He has abnormally large pectoral muscles. Like his father, Venomshank, Sword sports a pair of wings, a feathery tail, and bird feet. These avian appendages are a soft cream color and accented with a soft brown. Sword has stubby red horns alongside a grey gladiator style helmet with a red plume. His horns poke out from the top of the helmet through fitted holes. He wears a grey scarf alongside a brown cape with a metal grey pauldron on his left shoulder. A bulky red gem connects the scarf & cape with his sam browne belt. Sword wears brown pants that cut off at the knee to reveal his avian legs. Sword may seem childish and naive at times but he’s more knowledgeable and somewhat perverse than he lets on. Sword can often be described to have avian traits in personality, like entering a period of time where he’s broody like a mother hen. He also tends to build nests and sit ontop of people he likes to protect them like a hen.

Rocket was naturally spawned into Playground and lived there for the majority of his life as a newspawn, but was forced to leave the region after an unknown incident cost him his arm and leg. In the process of leaving Playground, he met Zuka, whom he became very close with, and eventually became Rocket's guardian figure. Zuka brought him to Crossroads, where he has lived since. He then met Sword, who became his best friend. Rocket works with Zuka in their shop in the top layer of Crossroads, where the two of them provide artificial gear for other inphernals, as well as general handyman services. Rocket is a hot-headed inphernal who can be very loud and confrontational. Despite his brash exterior, he is loyal to his loved ones and works extremely hard. Zuka and Rocket are very close, with Zuka being one of the few people Rocket actually cares about and serving as his adoptive caretaker. Rocket holds Zuka in extremely high regard, going so far as to carve his horns to resemble his caretaker's. Zuka helped Rocket grow out of his anger issues, allowing him to integrate better into life in Crossroads. Although Sword and Rocket are now best friends, when they first met, Rocket viewed him as rather pathetic. They were total opposites, and though Rocket did just about anything to get Sword to leave him alone, the two of them ended up becoming extremely close. Rocket has seen Venomshank a few times in his life, primarily when the deity visited Zuka in Rocket's earlier years. He is wary of someone as tall as Venomshank, despite Sword's insistence that he is a "nice guy" Rocket has four cobalt blue horns, two emerging from each side of his head. Said horns wrap around his head and taper into spikes. Little spikes grow on the surface of his horns but he shaves them down. Rocket wears a navy cropped jacket with a caution tape pattern lining the trim. He wears a yellow tank top and Zuka’s old military dog tag. He wears baggy navy pants with that same caution tape pattern down the sides. One pant leg is longer than the other, extending all the way down to his ankle. The other one is cropped into shorts where his prosthetic leg is. Rocket has two prosthetics, one on his left arm and one on his right leg. He wears a blue visor. Rocket has bunny ears and a tail and acts like a bunny at times.

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 child, 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. 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.

Medkit is an inphernal who was spawned under the KORBLOX Administration, and later fled to join The Church of the TRUE EYE. Medkit was unnaturally spawned in Blackrock to his two caretakers, and was immediately taken in by the KORBLOX Administration. His gear, being a healing class gear, is a very rare occurrence within the Inpherno. His gear allows him to heal the wounds and injuries of other inphernals with the abilities he was spawned with, making him a highly coveted asset to the KORBLOX Administration. He worked as a scientist alongside Subspace, using his incredible intellect and talents in the fields of engineering and chemistry to help further KORBLOX's research. During their time working under the KORBLOX Administration, Medkit developed the first known instance of energy crystals. Medkit and Subspace never got along, and after they had an altercation in which Medkit lost his left eye, he escaped Blackrock and fled to Crossroads. In Crossroads, he was picked up by an extremist group which had just formed in Lost Temple shortly following the Scorch, and went on to offer this group—later known as The Church of the TRUE EYE—his various abilities, in exchange for protection from the KORBLOX Administration. Medkit suffers from severe PTSD as a result of his time in Blackrock, and struggles with intense paranoia and constant night terrors. Despite Medkit's intellect, he has become an extremely paranoid person in the aftermath of his life in Blackrock. He is typically very flat with his interactions, and tries not to get too close to anyone. Medkit is a well put-together inphernal, who dons a suit in the uniform style of The Church of the TRUE EYE, and whose signature color is teal. He has two horns which closely resemble antlers that protrude from the sides of his head and extend upwards. On each horn, he has two tines following the same direction, and he wears a gold ring on his bottom right tine. In between both horns sits a floating crystal, which is the source of his gear's power. He wears a diamond shaped eyepatch with an inset gold trim over his left eye, covering his removed and stitched eye, and he is commonly seen with a disgruntled or forlorn expression. His suit is predominately a dark forest green, with bright teal accents throughout. His suit jacket opens up to reveal a teal cravat tied around the collar, and with gold trim on both sleeves, and a diamond shaped appliqué just above the cuffs. He wears high waisted dress pants in a teal argyle pattern, a motif he shares with Scythe. His pants are fastened by two gold buttons at the waistband. He wears dark teal gloves on both hands, and forest green dress shoes. He wields his medkit in his left hand, and his revolver in his right. Both are adorned with the same teal argyle motif as his uniform, and are trimmed with gold. His revolver is a distinctly brighter teal than his medkit, matching the color of his horns and cravat where the pattern is applied across the barrel and the grip. The sight, muzzle, hammer and trigger are all gold, with the rest of the gun being a dark teal. His medkit resembles a briefcase, exhibiting the same argyle pattern, along with a teal cross on the upper side, and gold accents along the body of the medkit, the corners, and the handle. The handle also has a bright teal grip. Banjo’s ammer is equal parts intrigued and offended by Medkit, asking Medkit to invent for him while also chiding his status as a traitorous criminal. Medkit is not at all impressed, brushing Banhammer off and being annoyed at the demi-deity's lack of perspective. Medkit is 30 years old, was born on December 29th, and stands at 5’10. He has an average build and a slicked-back haircut, originally white, now slightly greying because of age and stress.
