Rocket/Lore
Background
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.
Timeline
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.[4] 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.[5] Zuka’s connection to Venomshank caused him to meet Sword and they became best buddies.[6]
Appearance
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.
Personality
Rocket is described to be "clingy, hyperactive, bit of a hardhead".[7] He's very excitable and hyper, however he's also a little clumsy. He enjoys blowing things up.
