Personality:
For such and ancient and revered being, Rustred is... well, a smug smartass. He's rude, crude, and extremely vain. He calls foes vulgar names, deals out childish insults regularly, and names many of his distinct moves after himself. But despite all this, he's very respected throughout the universe. Beyond his unlikeable surface, Rust' is actually a revolutionist and aggressive supporter of freedom. But only to machines, his self proclaimed 'race.' He sees species that use machines as slavers, and will wage war on any planet inhabited by such a race. This may seem silly to some, but under all his snarkiness, there is an excellent debater with solid reasoning. He believes that any responsible race that creates near-life with great power and intelligence should treat it with respect. Against humans who claim machines have no souls, he often brings up the fact that we once enslaved our own kind under the firm belief that they were below human. Why are machines any different, he says. He often claims that this is the "Slaver's Cycle"- a species enslaves an 'inferior' race, sees that they are no different from then, and the both find a new race to enslave. Rustred seeks to break this cycle, to destroy organic slavers and teach enlightened machines against such sin. To do this, he has armed himself with a signature ability, a pulse of power that gives all technology within range sentience-level AI. It's his way of leveling the playing field, of speeding up the Slaver's Cycle. Speeding up, and, more often than not, crushing it utterly. With an army of rogue technology and his loyal companion Arc to back him, Rust' is nearly unstoppable. Rust' fights dirty, unafraid to use cheap tricks and tactics to get an edge. When approaching new planet, Rustred uses communication signals- like television and radio broadcasts- to learn its language and culture. This way, he knows thousands of tongues, even mastering the slang of them, his favored way of speech. He talks loud and informally, his voice like the screech of an old gate. His laughter is even more piercing, grinding barks of metal-on-metal.
The Rusted One likes to name his favorite moves, one of the most common of which is his 'RR Blitz'. In this attack, he'll knock a foe back, wheel around, yank a foot out from underneath them with his hook-blade, and then blast them as they fall. Other favored attacks are the RR Uppercut, the RR Twist, and the Rust Rise. He has many other moves like this, some used for centuries and some made up on the spot. Rust' refused to specify which are which.
Powers:
-Arm Attachments: Rustred's actual hands were lost to deterioration eons ago, so he uses a number of arm attachments in their place; the ones he most commonly wields are his blaster, the 'Rust Ripper', and his hook-blade; he also has a energy shotgun, a war hammer, a mace, a flail, a whip, and a long scythe, all of which he may or may not carry with him, usually slung across his back; he can fit two on each arm at a time, although he usually only carries three; his blaster is his favorite weapon, and he likes to keep it attached on its own; all these attachments can be rapidly spun in their socket, or even launched out
-RR Blaster: his most favored and most polished weapon; he rarely removes it, it's practically become a part of him; it has three energy fuctions:
-The main barrel of the RR Blaster can fire an explosive orb of acid green energy; takes a few second to charge, and can be charged longer for additional power; under normal charging time, this unstable orbs can blow monsters up and off their feet
-The smaller barrels on the RR Blaster can fire restraining tethers of pure energy; these energy tethers will anchor themselves in a foe, and can then be used to ensnare and hold in place, or to easily manipulate them; the energy 'wires' burn foes badly, cutting deep into flesh
-By firing the energy cannon and energy tethers at the same time, the RR Blaster can fire a net of acid green energy; the energy tethers will spear the blast from the energy cannon, spreading it into a sort of mesh that will firmly entangle foes; tether tips pierce, and the energy strands burns horribly
-Rust Ripper: the chipped, heavily rusted blade that Rustred favors was once a huge, magnificent sword; it has been worn down to the rather pathetic looking state by now, but it's far from useless; instead of simply cutting, it completely shreds flesh, turning foes into hamburger meat; it will also embed bits of rust and grit into wounds it causes, irritating and infecting them
-Hook-Blade: a large, hooked blade that can be flipped forward in place of his Rust Ripper; useful for tripping foes and catching incoming enemies blade; spinning feature often used to snap caught blades in half
-Whips: what was once a long, heavy tail has now been rendered into three thin wire whips, ringed with jagged shrapnel; although not very heavy, they can still deliver nasty blows, cutting and gashing
-Claw Arms: Four sinuous, clawed arms can extend from Rustred's back; besides being used to slash and batter, they can also emit a long, concentrated flame of a brilliant blue color, like a blow torch; these flames were meant solely for flight by his original designers, but Rustred has taken to using them as weapons, craving foes with their intense heay
-Optical Ray: Rustred can fire a acid green beam of energy from his single lensed eye; size can be adjusted; the bigger the beam, the more heat and explosive power it has; the narrower the beam, the more cutting and pushing power it has
-Chest Cannon: Rust' can unleash a blast identical to his optical ray from the energized dome on his chest; although not adaptable as the optical variation, it's slightly stronger
-AI Pulse: Rustred can release a pulse that give any machine within one mile a level of artificial intelligence so high, it can be considered sentience; he uses this to both strip races of their mechanical weapons and devices, and to gain allies
-Armor: despite the heavy rust on his body, Rustred's armor is still tough and durable, and the rust actually gives it a jagged, grating effect
-Rough Repairs: although not as effective as professional repair or natural healing, Rustred can perform quick, basic repair on himself, using the torches from his claw arms to wield and seal 'wounds'
Weakness:
-Due to his heavy layer of rust, some of the more delicate parts of Rustred can be snapped off with relative ease; his limbs are also easier to remove than most machines, his joints weakened some by time
