Ramses

The Shroob Bounty Hunter

0 · 1,311 views · located in Ingenium

a character in “Fusion Fantasy Neo”, originally authored by Alexander von Koopa, as played by RolePlayGateway

Description

Theme - Yell Dead Cell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Race: Shroob

Alignment: True Neutral

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Physical Description: A Shroob painted to look (kind of) like a Toad, Ramses wears a scouter-type visor over one eye and wears an oversized cowboy hat. He's also got a bandana to cover his mouth when he needs it, and is almost never seen without his pack full of equipment, gauntlets over his hands, and his signature rifle, the Hawkeye, slung over his back.

Personality: When adapting to modern society, Ramses' alien morals found that, since money was a big factor in why people went about their day to day lives, he should only concern himself with money. Since he was trained to kill, he soon became an expert bounty hunter, bagging bodies (dead or alive) for the right price. He's skilled, but cocky, and he knows it. Overconfident, he believes there's no job he can't do, but always demanding a high fee for his services and flat-out stating he will abandon his task there and then if not paid.

History: During the Shroob invasion of the Mushroom Kingdom, Ramses worked as a sniper, aiding his allies from afar. When the Shroobs were chased off Ramses hid for days until the search was called off. Finding himself alone on a strange planet with no way to get back home (which by his own admission sucked to high heaven), Ramses took his weaponry and put it to good use sustaining himself. His track record led to him getting kidnapped and forced to work in a mercenary group known as the Marksmen, threatened with explosive nanites in his body destroying him if he did not comply. Though allegedly free to do his own thing, Ramses is well aware that his priorities lie with the Marksmen - that is, if he wants to keep doing other things.

But there are rumors that he's done work beforehand...

Equipment: Ramses has a jetpack (a standard silver tube-style) allowing him to jet around for short distances. His primary weapon, the Hawkeye Rifle, is a repurposed energy rifle - previously a single-shot sniper rifle, he has kept its scope and increased its cartridge capacity, along with emblazoning the image of a hawk on the side. His scouter acts as a second scope, allowing Ramses to see much farther than other snipers. His other weapons include a Shroob pistol (which he rarely uses), thermal detonators (high-powered explosives), and twin gauntlets which act as dart launchers, snare launchers, and cutting torches.

Abilities: Ramses, being a Shroob, has a naturally poisonous bite/blood and has to drink Vim, or life essense, to live. This isn't so much an issue anymore, as he's found ways of distilling only what he needs to survive.

Other: Ramses doesn't keep tabs on his targets and employers after a task is done, preferring to view each job as "fresh" rather than seeing himself as someone else's lapdog.

So begins...

Ramses's Story

"Ten gold says he's dead within the hour," said a cowboy-looking man to Moxxie after Qwark left. "Even if there isn't anything there."

This man was Dr. Y, former leader of the terrorist/superhero group (depending on who you ask) known as the White Platoon. He didn't have a Platoon, so to speak, anymore - in fact everyone thought he was dead, and why would they carry on his group without him? Ah, but that's what he liked about the Rotten Rabbit - here, no one cares if you're alive, dead, or if rumors of your death have been greatly exaggerated. Currently he was enjoying some whiskey served by the lovely Mad Moxxi, but didn't seem tempted by her flirtacious nature and large... tracts of land.

"I'd have killed him myself if it was worth the time," offered up a Shroob in similar cowboy gear sitting near the back.

This was the first time the Shroob had spoken up for a while - or had he been talking before, only to be drowned out by Qwark's stories? All the bar patrons knew was that the Shroob was Ramses, an expert bounty hunter, and he didn't do anything without getting some reward from it. He and Dr. Y also had similar tastes in fashion, but they didn't seem to like each other. There was a sort of twisted respect between them, true, but never any hint of like.

"You would've said he wasn't worth the hassle," countered Dr. Y.

"Only after I'd shot him a few times," said Ramses.

"I bet tiny baby green man my crate that I find recently," Said the red fat man with a minigun in his possession, "He won't last thirty seconds."

Meet the Heavy Weapons Guy of the RED Team, and his primary weapon the minigun. He is feared by weaker men around the world, especially the BLU Team. Heavy doesn't seem to like Captain Qwark very much, and he rather not get involved with him. He is too busy polishing his minigun, Sasha.

"I think we should double the bet." Mad Moxxi replied to Dr. Y., "10 gold is not enough anyway."

"Try 20 gold AND crate!" The Heavy points at his wooden crate, "Some day this crate contains an unusual object."

"Fifteen," said Dr. Y. "I'm not made of gold. The fat man can do what he wants with the crate - it's not mine to bet."

"You bet a crate without knowing what's in it?" asked Ramses to the Heavy. "I'm not sure if that makes you a good mercenary or a terrible one."

"It depends on what's actually inside the crate." The Heavy replies. "But it is unpredictable for men who are overconfident. If you are curious about the crate, then you should get a key."

"There's the thing, big boy," said Ramses. "I'm not. Not my job to know what's in the crate."

Ramses then turned back to Dr. Y.

"By the way, doc, how are you going to figure out if the man in green's dead?"

"... Watch the news?"

"They're scarily accurate and fast these days, but not THAT good," countered Ramses.

"The media is getting crazy over the whole "race for the treasure" thing. I can't say that I blame them for their greedy nature." Moxxi shrugs, "But that's life; everybody is bound to be greedy for money."

"Hmmm... Where is original bartender?" The Heavy asks Moxxi.

"Old Sam? Let's just say he's out for the holidays. As for me, I am working my ass off to earn money. But I disagree with him with the 50-50 split between our hard earned money. I expect something... bigger."

The Heavy raised his eyebrow, thinking that she is making an innuendo joke. He heartfully laughs with her.

"Mwah hah hah hah!!" The Heavy chuckled, "I see what you did there, bartender! I like you a lot better than him. Old Sam never talks with anyone."

Another breaking news occurs on television where the anchorman is telling updates about the treasure hunters' progress.

"So far, three teams have joined the race against time to find and locate a hidden treasure hidden on this planet," The reporter said, "Local reports say that the leader of the Qwark Expedition is currently dead last since he forgot to bring back up, while the Meanie Bunch is catching up to T34M CL4P-TP and the Silver Tigers. Again, nobody knows what kind of treasure they find, but they are confident that it will bring good things to them. And remember, only one will win."

Dr. Y turns to Moxxi and holds his hand out, expecting gold.

"Dead LAST, chief," said Ramses.

Frowning, Dr. Y puts his hand back down.

"Also, what kind of group calls themselves the Meanie Bunch?" asked Ramses. "Aside from professional wrestlers."

"... Only way we can know for sure is to find Qwark ourselves," said Dr. Y.

"What do you mean WE?" asked Ramses.

"You're coming with me," said Dr. Y.

"Like hell I am," said Ramses. "Maybe you haven't figured out that I don't care?"

Dr. Y throws a bag of gold to Ramses.

"I'm listening," said Ramses, looking up with a smile.

"You and I are going track Qwark down," said Dr. Y. "And confirm whether or not he's dead."

"... And nothing else?" asked Ramses.

"I don't pay you to ask questions," said Dr. Y. "Big man. You coming with us?"

"Hmm..." The Heavy scratches his chin in though, " I do not know......"

Then it is decided that the Heavy will nod and get his ass off from the chair. He crack his knuckles and grins.

"But that doesn't mean I can't kill tiny baby men. I will help you."

"Great, come on," said Dr. Y. "His last known location was Mt. Moon."

With that, Dr. Y and Ramses head out of the Rotten Rabbit Tavern.

Dr. Y, Ramses, and the RED Heavy arrive at Mt. Moon, heading straight for the glowing symbol/projector.

"No sign of Qwark's corpse," said Dr. Y.

"Does this mean you're going back to pay Moxxi?" asked Ramses.

"Of course not," said Dr. Y. "We still haven't found him."

"And you're quite sure you're only in this to find Qwark dead or alive?" asked Ramses.

"All he touch is that strange symbol." Heavy said, "But... I can smell his trail. He is alive, but not here." The Heavy looks at the icons that shows a tree and wailing ghosts. "He was going to a place where there are crying ghost in the woods, but he had other plans. Maybe... he forgot to bring mercs with him? It's possible."

"Possible but unlikely," said Ramses, scanning the ground. "I see multiple footprints here, several heading south but one heading east."

"South would be the Shadow Forest," said Dr. Y, thinking this through. "But there are several continents to the east, so who knows where that person went."

"If Qwark is alone as the big man suggests," pointed out Ramses. "Then he would have gone east."

"Shadow Forest is a closer and clearer destination," said Dr. Y. "And I trust you as far as I can throw you."

The Heavy sniffs a little bit and crosses his arms. "Despite him being a big man, he is not that smart and rather find a bookworm to do it for him. The best bookwork he can find is at Taiyomashi, no?"

"Taiyomashi?" asked Ramses. "That's a whole 'nother continent. You'll have to pay extra for that."

"You'll get paid in full when the job is done," said Dr. Y. "Now come on. We've got to catch up on our reading."

Dr. Y and Ramses head off for Yuyake and the Taiyomashi Temple.

"No sign of him anywhere," said Ramses.

"He had to have gone somewhere," said Dr. Y. "And someone has to have seen him. All we have to do is find out who and we'll find our man."
