Rocket

"Rocket"

Pronoun(s): He/Him (Note: Inphernals are genderless and use any pronouns - these are just the ones used in text for this particular inphernal.) Height: 5'6" / 168 cm Age: 22 Birthday: 17 January Gear: Rocket Launcher

Region: Playground Faction: Factionless Occupation(s): Shop assistant

Relations: Zuka (adopted caretaker) Sword (best friend) Medkit (friend) The Broker (associate) ——————————————

Lore: 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. Sword would go on to introduce him to Medkit, who ended up making Rocket's prosthetic arm and leg for him.

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 begrudgingly works with The Broker, who supplies the materials used for creating artificial gears and other weapons.[5]

Personality: The Rocket is an energetic, hot-tempered, and straightforward character. They are loud, impulsive, and easily irritated, often speaking abruptly and not mincing their words. Stubborn and proud, they dislike admitting their mistakes or showing weakness. Despite their rudeness, the Rocket is very loyal and caring towards their loved ones. They express affection through actions rather than words: they help, protect, and stay close, even if they pretend not to care. With friends, they can be loud, cheerful, mocking, and a little silly. With strangers, they are usually wary. In conflict, they quickly become heated and prefer to respond directly. The Rocket has trouble hiding their emotions: when angry, they become louder, and when happy, they become noticeably more animated. Expressing deep feelings is difficult for them, so they often mask their concern with irritation or sarcasm.

Appearance:

Rocket is a light-skinned inphernal with four horns that are blue in color. He has two long horns on the side of his head that slightly curl upward and another smaller set underneath.

Rocket wears a pair of blue U-shaped goggles. He sports a blue and yellow jacket which is open in the middle with both sleeves rolled up. On the back of his jacket is a picture of exploding bricks, under his jacket he wears a yellow shirt with a silver dog tag around his neck. His left hand is covered by a dark blue glove while his right arm is a full metal prosthesis. Similar to his arm, his left leg is a metallic prosthetic, which is partially covered by his rolled up pant leg. His pants are blue with a yellow stripe going around the cuffs, supported by a blue belt with a silver buckle and grommets.

His namesake gear, The Rocket Launcher, has a gray barrel and sports a blue neon ring near the front, with a yellow and black caution stripe nearby. Attached to it is a gray scope on left side of the launcher with the trigger and grip is located directly under the launcher. Further down the barrel is a black divot which is then followed up by a neon blue . Both ends being hollowed for the rockets coming out of it. —————————— Relationships: Zuka- 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.

Though they are close, there are some things they don't talk about—namely Zuka's hatred of the Swords.

Sword- 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.

They are seen together in Act 1 of Death in the Family investigating Medkit's disappearance.

Medkit- Rocket met Medkit through Sword, and considers him a friend. Medkit made Rocket's prosthetics, and he thinks well of the other inphernal as a result.[8]

Other relationships- 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".[9]

Rocket works with The Broker, but despises him. The Broker, in turn, likes messing with him.

————————— Trivia: Due to his prosthetics, Rocket is unable to swim, on account of them freezing the water upon contact ———————————

PHIGHTING! takes place in the Inpherno, a planet which resides in a universe known as the Inphinity. The Inpherno is mainly inhabited by inphernals, a race of horned humanoids who are born with a gear that they use to phight one another with. The Inpherno is split into four regions, each with their own territories and factions, all converging into a communal city called Crossroads in the center.

The game currently takes place in 3099 AR[Note 1], with the supplementary comic Death in the Family taking place a few months before the events of the game, in the same year.[1]

Crossroads is the location of the game's hub world, which players use to access the PHIGHT! Lobby, vote in Phestivals, interact with NPCs, buy skins, and hang out with other players.

Phighters, their gear, NPCs, factions, maps, and other locations in the game are based on various established concepts from the ROBLOX platform, primarily from the years 2008 to 2014. Maps are—with few exceptions—faithful reinterpretations of ROBLOX games created prior to 2014; once popular, they have been abandoned by their creators and players. The gear that inphernals are based on are (usually) all real gears that are, or once were, available in the ROBLOX Catalog.

Crossroads is the main central hub for PHIGHTING! with bridges to the 4 factions – Blackrock, Lost Temple, Playground, and Thieves' Den – coming in from each cardinal direction. Within Crossroads lies an abundance of establishments, corporations, and other buildings that are commonly referenced in other maps

Blackrock is one of the four main regions in the Inpherno. It consists of technologically advanced icy mountains controlled by the KORBLOX Administration.The KORBLOX Administration are the ruling faction of Blackrock. They are a military state who typically force their newspawn into science, engineering, or infantry fields. The KORBLOX Administration is ran by a shadowy group of higher-ups who have yet to be seen.Biografts are robots mass produced by Blackrock, having been invented by Subspace with directives to accomplish specific programmed tasks. According to multiple Phighters, they are a relatively recent invention. There are multiple kinds of Biografts with specific skillsets and duties, and they are all based on variants of the Biograft Energy Swords gear. In general, Biografts are not sentient, but specific types of Biografts may be able to form a bond with one another. Biografts are not a hive mind and do not share gained memories with each other. So far, six types of Biografts have been revealed.

Lost Temple is one of the four major regions in the Inpherno. It is an arid desert split in two by a civil war.Lost Temple is a hot, dry desert that was once home to a bustling city full of thousands of inhabitants. Ten years prior to the events of PHIGHTING!, this city was burnt to the ground in the Scorch, and the lasting effects thereof now serves to divide the remaining populace. Most inphernals that did not leave Lost Temple for other regions would end up joining either the Redcliff Wranglers or The Church of the TRUE EYE.

The temperatures of Lost Temple are unbearable to non-natives[1], and even those native to Lost Temple can find the environment unpleasant.[2] Fashion in Lost Temple can be varied, but ponchos, scarves, bandanas, and cowboy hats are common fixtures of an inphernal's wardrobe. Those who live out in the desert plains tend to live in tents and sleep on hammocks.

Playground is one of the four main regions in the Inpherno. It is an urban city [1] as well as Windforce's domain.

Thieves' Den is one of the four major regions in the Inpherno. It is a grassy mountainous jungle inhabited by carnivorous plants, currently ruled by the Darkage Clan.Thieves' Den is a lush, tropical region home to jungles, mountains, and various clans. Currently, the Darkage Clan is the only one known. It is known for its inphernal-eating flora[1] and its vast foliage. An unknown group of Darkage warriors are seen in Death in the Family
