Gravitos Imperium - Gravitos Imperium - 12-13-2011 06:11 PM
Name: Gravitos Imperium
Nicknames: Unholy Punisher (more of a title than a nickname.)

IQ: 135
Marital Status: Single
Birthdate: April 30, 1989
Birth Place: Unknown
Residence: An apartment in downtown Station Square
Occupation: Bounty hunter
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Appearance: Long and slightly shaggy dark violet fur covers his entire body. He has a purple, skinned muzzle with a long and pointed shiny black nose. He has a fairly muscular build along with a pair of serious and constantly alert purple colored eyes with black pupils. Fangs are visible when his mouth is open even at the slightest. A pair of triangular ears with a purple inner area are perked on the top of his head. Black ovular markings cover both palms and the back of his hands along with one on the middle of his forehead.
Attire: He wears a pair of baggy black pants with thin purple lines going vertically down the sides. Lastly, a pair of duel-tone sneakers where the back half is blue and the frontal half is red and seems to overlap the blue, with black soles. Occassionally, Gravitos needs to conceal his markings and hide his power so he doesn't raise suspicion. To do such a thing, a black headband is worn around his head and a pair of plain, black gloves as well. This would also hinder his power and he''s always quick to remove them if need be.
Quill style: Gravitos has three rows of three elongated quills that protrude from the back of his head. The outer six curve downwards while thethree in the middle curve upwards. One straight and fairly thin quill hangs from each side of his head that point down and reach chest level. Three, upright pointing quills rest right on his forehead. He has two rows of two less pliable, slightly shorter quills on his back. The upper two curve upwards while the bottom two curve downwards. He also has a small, somewhat arched tail.
Abilities - Gyrokinesis: Gravitos has the ability to manipulate the gravitational force on an object or person by five times greater or lesser. This is performed by his markings glowing and taking on different colors and shapes (see below.) To harness this ability, he launches beams of energy called Gravity Spears from the markings on his palms. They fly at a moderate speed and he can be fairly accurate if he aims correctly. The marking on his forehead is used to focus the ability. Upon contact from the spears, an aura of the respective color surrounds the object or person. Up to four spears can be launched in one setting. He can fire one almost instantly, or charge his energy and unleash multiple at once. The effects only last up to 5 seconds. Through this time limit, any additional spears won't add to the time. He must wait a couple of minutes before his Gravity Spear usage resets as well. He has the ability to switch between the various effects. Also, upon using his power, his fur becomes a neon purple in color and all of the quills on both his head and back curve upwards.
Red: The color his marking becomes when he chooses to increase gravity and make things heavier. The spears themselves are heavier than others, resulting in reduced range and speed. However, if he were to unleash one at a downward trajectory, their speed increases. They also become the shape of a plus sign and each individual spear adds the original weight of the object or person. For example; Gravitos' weight of 90 pounds would be added by 90 with each spear, maxing out at 450 pounds. When using this in a fight; his enemy would most likely have hindered mobility from being weighed down. If his opponent wields a weapon, Gravitos can make the weapon heavier and beyond their abilities to carry. He can also use it against himself for defensive purposes such as if he wished to plant himself in one spot or prevent being luanched into the air. If airborne, his increased gravity can be utilized for deadly offensive strikes.
Blue: The color his markings become when he chooses to decrease gravity, making things lighter. These spears are lighter and appear to drift through the air with better range than the red spears and are not affected by which angle they're fired at. They become the shape of a minus sign and each individual spear subtracts the amount of weight equal to that of the object or person under five times the lesser gravity. For example; Gavitatos' weight of 90 pounds would be subtracted by 18 with each spear, maxing out at 18 pounds. When using this against an opponent, they may have difficulty adapting to the lesser gravity, especially at higher extents. Just as the red counterpart, Gravitos can use this on himself for mainly evasive maneuvers such as high or far leaps into the air. This can also be used to protect himself from high falls.
Black: His default color and shape. Ovular in appearance, these actually represent a zero, which means zero effect on gravity. Firing one of these black Gravity Spears will restore gravity to normal. These are the fastest of his spears, able to strike a foe with great speed. Despite using the same amount of energy as the red or blue spears, only one of these can be unleashed at a time and have a much more rare usage.
Purple: The color his markings become when he chooses to shift his center of gravity and defy his own gravitational pull. They become the shape of an arrow and only two of these can be launched at a time. Preferably using this power in a room of some sort, Gravitos can launch one of these purple spears at a wall or the ceiling than be pulled to it upon contact, thus defying his gravitational pull, allowing him to maneuver unsupported along the surfaces The effects last up to 10 seconds and can be stopped at any time by switching to another gravity effect. The arrow markings always point to where his center of gravity is, somtimes pointing up or to the side until his feet are planted on the desired surface, where the arrows points to its original downward angle. Since these require twice the energy, two more of the red or blue spears are accessible if he has not used them already.
Gravity Punch: Gravitos is able to place the power of his red or blue Gravity Spears into a melee attack be engulfing his fists in red or blue energy. This has the same properties as the spears, meaning the same effects and only four punches can be unleashed before the energy vanishes.
Forcefeild: This deffensive attack does not interfere with his Gravity Spear usage, but still heavily drains him, especially after prolonged use. He can create a small wave of anit-gravity energy around him that lasts only 2 seconds. Anything within a couple feet of him would cease all movements no matter the speed or size. This is useful against projectiles considering after the forcefeild wares off, any profectiles drop harmlessly to the ground. Using this takes energy and timing plus he himself must remain motionless. If he's quick enough, he can reverse the forcefeild and send any projectiles back at the source.
Other abilities: Gravitos is constantly training himself to become stronger. Through time, he trained his body to withstand five times its own weight. This has made him quite durable and he can suffer high extents of damage before going down. This has made his legs powerful as well. He can reach speeds up to 120 mph and jump up to 15 feet in the air. After enduring a handstand for the full duration of five times gravity, Gravitos has formidable strength in his arms and boasts surprising agility to boot. He is highly disciplined and knows his body's limits.Gravitos has offensive tactics when it comes to fighting. Always quick to make the first move, he is indeed a viscous fighter and never backs down, no matter the situation.
Personality: Upon meeting someone for the first time, Gravitos has a tendency to act very on-edge and somewhat hostile. This is simply his confrontational demeanor, where he acts downright rude to those who show the slightest hint of getting in his way, which makes him almost unapproachable sometimes. However, this is just a trait he cannot help and he frequently apologizes for his attitude afterwards if he thinks that person doesn't deserve it. If he were to ally himself with anyone, he can show his friendly side, which only goes so far as to helping his allies if they are in need. His thirst for battle is quite high and he's almost always on the lookout for a good fight. Although he strongly apposes death, given his occupation, he will be willing to take a life if the price is high enough. Though if this is the case, he almsot always has reluctance even to the lowest of scum. He doesn't have a greed for money, but rather he needs it to survive. He always makes sure he has just enough to get him by. One thing he will never, even for a second, consider bringing harm to the innocent. This may seem noble of him, but if an innocent individual is in harms way, he will not go out of his way to save them. He remains ever vigilant in the face of danger or when things go awry. He's always quick on his feet and thinks out every possibility before making a decision. The laws of ggod and evil do not apply to him. He lives and dies by his own rules and nothing will shake this demeanor from him. He is just a hedgehog who concentrates on his motives and when Gravitos is determined, he is quite literally unstoppable.
Weaknesses: Due to the constant shifting of gravity, Gravitos has little to no sense of balance. Although his kinetic power is strong, using it requires huge amounts of energy and can rapidly overexert him. If a direct strike were to occur on the direct center of any of his markings, his kinetic power would be disabled for a prolonged amount of time and he himself would be momentarily stunned. Despite his durability, he fails at defensive capabilities and requires to have complete control over a battle. If a foe were to capitalize this, Gravitos' chance of victory could be slim. Even though he is well aware of his body's limits, his determination to win a fight will frequently overlook this and he could be left in a vulnerable position.
Backstory: Born into a mighty warrior clan, Gravitos' uncanny ability was discovered when he was young. With a power to control something unstable such as gravity, Gravitos was 13 when he first learned how to simply contol it without it getting out of hand. This is when his training truely began, learning various fighting styles and honing his kinetic power. The standards of this clan was you were trained to live and fight, then once you turned 18, you were sent out to fend for yourself. They inhabited a walled city, where there was only once entrance guarded by a group of merciless guards. If one were to attempt an escape on their own terms, death would be immanent. Despite these attributes, those who lived here were cared for with respect. They were well fed and slept warm and comfortable. It would only be if one were to lack in their training or any severe disobedience would punishment ensue.
The next five years of Gravitos' life was somewhat harsh at times, but he prevailed through his rigorous training and listened to his masters. Sure enough, on his 18th birthday, he awoke in a back alley. After exploring the surrounding area, he discovered he was in Downtown Station Square. After realizing he needed to survive on his own, he used the only skills he learned, and that was to fight. He collected various bounties and participated in a couple fighting competitions. He become somewhat renowned by his abilities and soon became know as the "Unholy Punisher" considering nobody knew of his true identity. After making enough money, he bought a dingy apartment which he mainly used for sleeping.
Four years have passed and he continues to live in his low-middle class apartment with his same occupation. Feared by some, he himself became wanted by various crime and some police organizations. He lives life somewhat peacefully and the bounties on his head and warrents for his arrest are not even a worry to him.
Things seemed to be going legitimately well until one day he awoke in a strange place. Robots ruled the area and that Robotnik character appeared to be in charge. After making a narrow escape, Gravitos pursued knowledge. He gathered information from various street rumors that this was the cuase of the interdimensional emerald's power colliding. It all seemed like a giant fairy tale to the hedgehog, but given recent events anything was possible. Throughout the days, he fought for his survival and he wished to get as far away from here as possible. Despite the fact his life wasn't the best, a feeling of nostalgia struck him. He could care less if the world was saved, but in order to restore his life, he needed those emeralds to be back in their rightful places and nothing was gonna get in his way.
