Dr. Robotnik - Nail Strafer - 04-26-2010 03:39 AM
Name:
Dr. Ivo Robotnik
Alias:
Dr. Robotnik, Dr./Eggman
Age:
Assumed to be in his forties. But otherwise unknown.
Sex:
Male
Species:
Human
Faction:
Robotnik Empire
Alignment:
Villain
Appearance:
Personality:
Pompous, mad, with a touch of witty goodness. Dr. Robotnik, commonly referenced as "Eggman" for all intensively insulting purposes, is well known for his mad hatter behavior. His crooked instruments of enslavement raise his esteemed feelings of self-absorbed beliefs that due to the failures and corruption of worldly powers, there is only one way to resolve all matters for good- That being his ruling of the world.
Despite his wacko beliefs, Robotnik can be relatively tame at times. He can put on the act of a gentleman, ensnaring those most gullible. Knuckles has been made an example of this time and time again when Robotnik's cried wolf on Sonic not just once but multiple times.
Of course, with this devotedly prideful behavior, Robotnik does have a temper. With this usually comes his most devastating and indisputably stunning mastery to date. This has been known to be a constant hit or miss. In most cases, miss as Sonic has defeated many a foe. However, Robotnik has recently become more cocky with the success of his latest scheme due to his alliance with Eggman Nega.
Despite his consistent habit of trying to take over the world though, Robotnik does have tendencies to back step and pull the rare one-eighty as demonstrated in ARK's free fall to Earth. While it isn't certain entirely why he uses the means he uses and sometimes even why he wishes to rule the world, it is certain that he is not a man that plans for its destruction-- at least not until very recently, it seems.
Family:
Gerald Robotnik
Maria Robotnik
Transport:
Egg Carrier
Eggmobile
Weapons/Arsenal:
A variety of different robots, or "badniks" as some call them.
Most commonly known are Swatbots and Spybots but environment changes that call for modifications is something that Robotnik has also been known to commonly consider (thus robots like Chopper and Newtron's once existence). Since Robotnik's failure of overtaking zones and later the dimensional merge, his variety of robots has been reduced and he has had to reconsider which he values most, so the variety has dropped considerably in favor of efficiency.
Robotnik is also widely resourceful for creating contraptions that he, himself, controls. Although most seem to have a habit of being destroyed with first time use, they still have been proven to considerably threaten whoever gets in his way until they finally dismantle it. This hasn't been a common scheme of his as recent, but it wouldn't be a surprise were he to use such tactics again.
The good doctor also has an entire city under his command. Robotropolis is what he now calls Station Square, ever since he conquered it. The city contains many factories and power plants that spill out his seemingly endless mechanical creations, and underneath and around the town are caves where he mines for the resources to keep this army going. On one side of the town is an airbase that contains Robotnik's personal fleet of airships, which he uses to get his army anywhere on the planet. Robotnik's flagship is the Egg Carrier. In the center of town is his imposing egg-shaped Command Center, which contains experimental labs where Robotnik tries out his latest inventions, a prison for disobedient citizens and intruders, warehouses, server farms for running the mechanical army, and Robotnik's personal quarters and command lookout.
The citizens trapped here since his takeover are not restricted from leaving by physical barriers. Rather, they are all injected with nanomachines that broadcast their locations to radar towers, so that they can be easily tracked down by Robotnik's forces. Those who are caught trying to leave are brought to the tower, and they are never seen again. At least...not in their organic forms. Unknown to the citizens, the people brought here are taken to the Roboticizer, where they are transformed into a robotic slave. Robotnik prefers not to divulge to his subjects what happens in the tower, thinking that it would scare them a lot more into obedience.
Biography:
Little is commonly known of Robotnik prior to his mad conquest for global takeover. Some say he was originally a good doctor corrupted by the woes of society. Others argue that he had been planning such disastrous feats since the very beginning. It's even a stretch to claim, but few and far even believe it to be an insane reason to collectively gather attention for his ingenious ideology and give it back to the people under his empire.
Ever since his attack on South Island though, Robotnik has proved himself to be a menace again and again. Had it not been for Sonic and his friends, perhaps he would have overtaken the world a long time ago. Yet time and time again, wherever Robotnik lurked, Sonic would trap him down and stop him in his tracks. Even the Death Egg was foiled by the blue blur's efforts.
Moves/Combat Style:
Robotnik has a very upfront approach to battles, choosing to fight head on with his latest creation. He seems to have an unlimited supply of inventive creations made to appease any hostile environment be it freezing tundras to boiling deserts. In many cases, he will even customize his unit's design to use environments to their greatest potential. Using a masterpiece of mechanical prestige, Robotnik tends to strike hard and heavy. He does have the habit of becoming predictable though and many of his machines have become victims of exploitation in the case of their weakness because of this oddly amateur habit.
Of course, without a machine, Robotnik is virtually useless. In many cases, he will carry on him some sort of remote to activate his back up plan or will eject from his last-legged contraption just before it detonates. His best method from that point is escape and reform. Robotnik's too cool for physical combat anyway. BD
Skills:
Engineering and Robotics - Robotnik is a master of engineering and robotics, to the point where he has been able to raise entire military bases and armies of robots without any outside help...in just about every sort of environment imaginable. However, it's unclear as to where he finds the resources to build such things.
Leadership/Tactics - In addition to being the sole architect of his empire, Robotnik is also the sole leader. While he's often thwarted by Sonic in the end, he's shown himself to be quite the formidable foe when it comes to coming up with plot after plot after plot to conquer the world. Even more impressive, he continually restores his empire over and over again, no matter how many times Sonic and his friends smash it to pieces.
Archaeology - While Robotnik does love his machines, he sometimes prefers to use ancient, powerful artifacts to augment his forces. So when he's not busy with his latest device of mechanical genius, he will be studying ancient texts and visiting ruins to find such objects. Typically, said object will be the Chaos Emeralds or have something to do with them.
