Darkheart - phighting

Darkheart uses "we" instead of "I" because he considers his gear to be a separate, sentient entity from himself. As an SFOTH (Sword Fighting on the Heights) deity, he views his very weapon/presence and his physical form as two parts making up one whole being.

Lore and Personality Sentient Gear: He views his iconic weapon and his physical self as distinct cooperating entities ("We are two but speak with a single voice").Deity Status: As an ancient chaotic force, his plural self-reference highlights his uncanny, non-human nature compared to regular mortals in the game.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

Rocket is a young inphernal from Playground who works at his family's shop in Crossroads.

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.

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.

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.

In his past, younger Zuka (or B. Zuka) had a more muscular build: sporting a pair of triangle shades, a blue backpack, an orange bandanna, and a baby blue short sleeved button up with two breast pockets. He wore a dark blue belt with light blue suspenders clipped on, a pair of blue to purple gradient pants, and a pair of purple military boots with golden accents.
