Slingshot's horns resemble cat ears. He wears a sweatband underneath them. His outfit features a blue and white varsity jacket above a darker blue undershirt, grey pants with a blue streak on the sides and his centre-piece sports shoes with a blue and white motif. Slingshot carries his large namesake slingshot over his left shoulder when not nocking a shot. The handle of the slingshot is three different grey-toned stems interlocked into an ergonomic handle for his left hand. A blue, topped off with black counterweight sits at the bottom. The frame of the slingshot is housed by a blue stock with the limbs being grey. The string and pads are an off-white colour. The slingshot is accented with neon blue, particularly where the strings are attached to the frame and a long band is present at the front stem with another thin band just above the counterweight. Slingshot comes off as energetic, gung-ho on being speedy and zipping around opponents in Phights. He's friendly to his close friends and even does playful jabs with them. He has an air of responsibility from him, stemming from his ownership of a cafe and also the living situation with Vine Staff and Shuriken. He's also passionate about footwear especially ones that enable his movements. Slingshot runs a famous cafe on the top layer of Crossroads, with Vine Staff and Shuriken assisting him. The three of them all live together as roommates in Crossroads. Slingshot's shoes are designed to repulse air particles around it to avoid stains and keep the shoes clean. Slingshot's hobby is cooking and baking. He excels in baking sweets. Slingshot is 22 years old, and has a lean, yet athletic build, most of the muscle being in his legs. He has cat whiskers and a cat tail, and he looks a few years younger than he actually is. World info: Inphernals are a race of humanoids who make up the majority of inhabitants in the Inpherno. They are characterized by horns on their head, and possessing the innate ability to wield a gear from birth. Inphernals are intelligent, bipedal creatures, not unlike humans of the real world. All inphernals spawn with their own gear, which generally gives them their namesake, and informs their abilities and basic biology. Unlike humans, they are completely hairless, except for those with animal gears, who can possess tails and other such features related to their respective gear. Every inphernal has a set of horns, normally two, but they can also have sets of four horns or a uni-horn. Inphernals can also have abnormal horn traits in the form of mutations, such as Firebrand, who has a single pronged horn that covers his eye, or Void Star, who has two large horns that cover both of her eyes and many smaller horns around her head. Inphernals do not have a biological sex or reproductive organs, and instead are born from a Spawnpoint. Normally, inphernals are born at random without parents from a respective Spawnpoint, but two inphernals can sacrifice part of their gear's power in order to produce a biological child. There is no particular rhyme or reason to what gear an inphernal is spawned with, even when spawned by their parents. However, it is rarer for an inphernal to spawn with a support-class gear, and even more uncommon for it to possess healing abilities. Only one of a specific gear can exist in the Inpherno at any one time, and once an inphernal dies, their gear becomes available for spawning once again. An inphernal's gear is spiritually a part of them, allowing them to summon and de-summon it at will. Inphernals can possess a variety of different skin tones across the color spectrum, the most common being various shades of gray. They can also have vitiligo, such as in the case of Sparkles. Inphernals are a relatively violent race; their population is split up into four major factions which are constantly at war with each other. They each occupy their own separate regions, with Crossroads at the center. Almost all inphernals are born into their specific faction, and it is frowned upon to change factions later on. Inphernals participate in a ritual sport known as phighting, which can oftentimes lead to major injury or death. Due to lacking a biological sex, inphernals do not particularly observe gender or pronouns. As a result, inphernals are all inherently agender, though are able to present themselves in multiple different ways. The Swords, oftentimes referred to just as 'the deities', are a group of powerful inphernals within the Inpherno who are all based on the sword gears from Sword Fight on the Heights IV. They are considered a subtype of standard inphernals, but differ in some key features, namely that the Swords have indefinite lifespans, and bleed ichor, rather than blood. The Swords all possess wings in some form or another, which is a trait unique to them and their descendants. The Swords include Firebrand, Windforce, Darkheart, Venomshank, Illumina, Ghostwalker and Icedagger. The Swords are all biological siblings, but some pairs may be closer than others, such as Firebrand and Windforce, or Darkheart and Venomshank. Ban Hammer, Valk, Dom and Sword are all blood related to the Swords, and may possess their own unique abilities or physical characteristics as a result. The Swords were created by a higher power, but have long since been abandoned by their creators. Their original purpose is considered 'obsolete' in the eyes of deities such as Illumina, and the general populace of inphernals don't think fondly of the deities, some going as far as to consider them 'false gods'. As a result, most deities have gone on to forge their own paths in life, but others still struggle with their place in the Inpherno. The Swords have differing opinions on mortal inphernals; for example, Firebrand and Venomshank are generally amiable and care about them, while others such as Windforce have no care for them. Since the incident in which Firebrand incinerated a Lost Temple city 10 years prior to the events of PHIGHTING!, the Swords have been forbidden to interact with mortals. The event also caused public's perception of the Swords to turn negative, resulting in the Swords staying out of public eye. In-game, the Swords appear during Sword events where they unleash their unique abilities onto the playing field, affecting the tides of a Phight. The Inpherno is a planet residing in the Inphinity. The Inpherno is where Crossroads is located, and is where the game PHIGHTING! takes place. It is mostly inhabited by inphernals and is split into four major factions. The Inpherno is characterized by being split into four factions, each with their own unique attributes and residents. Firebrand, a member of the Swords, rules over Crossroads which occupies the very middle of the Inpherno. Apart from Ghosdeeri and various animals, all currently known denizens of the Inpherno are inphernals - a race of horned humanoids who are assigned gears upon being spawned. Residents of the Inpherno live rather similar lives to humans in the real world; having jobs, living in apartments and partaking in various past-times. Blackrock is one of the four main regions in the Inpherno. It consists of technologically advanced icy mountains controlled by a powerful government. Lost Temple is one of the four main regions in the Inpherno. It is a prosperous, wealthy desert where only the rich thrive. Playground is one of the four main regions in the Inpherno. It is an urban city. Thieves' Den is one of the four main regions in the Inpherno. It consists of grassy cliffs surrounding a large structure. They value preservation and nature. Most of Thieves' Den's fauna consists of inphernal-eating plants. Crossroads is an area in the PHIGHTING! universe and game. It serves as the main lobby for PHIGHTING!. Each cardinal direction leads towards the 4 main regions, Blackrock, Lost Temple, Playground and Thieves' Den. 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. Flipside is a famous idol group in the Inpherno. It consists of two brothers, Valk and Dom. They are responsible for hosting Phestivals, each representing one team centered around a given theme. Valk and Dom were both born into fame and wealth, eventually becoming the hosts of the Phestivals. They have a distant relationship with the Phighters involved and see them mostly for the money they bring in. "Valk" and "Dom" are stage names based on their hats, the Valkyrie Helm and Dominus respectively. Their gears suggest their actual names are Microphone and Megaphone. Valk wears a helmet directly referencing the Valkyrie Helm ROBLOX hat, with a white and yellow design as opposed to the ROBLOX item's blue and red. Two curved horns with split ends emerge from his forehead and taper into spikes. The helmet has a microphone attachment on its right side. He wears a yellow striped suit with a white notched lapel, a white undershirt with white cuffs, a gray tie, a pair of yellow shutter glasses, and gray pants with black shoes. Valk, unlike Dom, still has both his wings: a pastel yellow, akin to those of a bat albeit smaller than his brother's. Compared to his brother, Valk is a positive and upbeat individual. He almost always refer to the player with a sense of familiarity, despite his celebrity status. He generally expresses his opinions with hyperbole, such as when he says ice cream is '13x better' than popsicles. He enjoys both the color and the flower violets, and thinks that doves are pretty. He doesn't particularly like chocolate and can only tolerate the taste somewhat. His favorite region is Playground. He regularly reads and gets flustered by his fan mail, much to his brother's annoyance. Though he is generally friendly, he can be pushy when asking if the player has bought his new album. 'Valk' is a stage name. His real name is Mic, derived from his gear, Microphone. Dom wears a hood directly referencing the Dominus Empyreus ROBLOX hat, with four horns emerging from either side of his head: two small pastel purple horns, both tapering into a sharp tip, and two larger similarly colored horns splitting into two at the ends, and tapering off into spikes. The hood also has a microphone attachment on the left side. Dom's face is completely obscured by his hood, save for his eyes, the rightmost missing and replaced with an X. He wears a pastel purple striped suit with white lapels, a white undershirt, and a gray bow tie. He has a pair of gray pants with white cuffs and dark grey boots. Dom, unlike Valk, only has his left wing: a pastel purple, resembling that of a bat. Compared to his brother, Dom is generally a reserved and soft-spoken individual. He typically carries himself with an air of formality, showing little emotion and regularly addressing the player as 'Phighter'. Despite this, he has shown excitement on some occasions, such as when describing his love for chocolate. He values roses as an expression of romance, as well as the intelligence of crows, over the superficial appearance of doves. His favorite region is Blackrock. He occasionally makes jabs at his brother's height, and can be pushy when demanding the player appreciates his Phestival decorations. 'Dom' is a stage name. His real name is Megaphone, derived from his gear of the same name, Megaphone.
