Character History:
Centuries ago, a group of alien humanoids settled the largest planet in the Keystone Quadrant star system. Here they built a complex to house and treat the insane, recording their medical observations in a psychiatric diary. When their funding was cut, they abandoned the project, but not before they created a staff of robots to provide for the humanoids. They then separated the quadrant from the rest of the galaxy with an impenetrable force field.
When a nearby star went nova, ensuing radiation gave sentience to the robots, who quickly grew fed up with the illogical humanoids, or "Loonies." Seeking to end their servitude, the robots used genetic engineering to give intelligence and awareness to the animals that had been left as companions for the patients. They charged the animals with the patients' care and protection, then relocated to the far side of the planet, which they proceeded to strip bare through industrial endeavors; one of which was construction of a vast, humanoid spacecraft called Ship.
The half-industrial, half-verdant planet became known as "Halfworld."
Weird right? Just wait, it gets better.
Rocket is the head of the Halfworld military and as such, is the one to approach the Hulk when he is dumped on Halfworld. The Hulk takes a liking to Rocket and the raccoon's friend Wal Russ, and thus agrees to help them keep Gideon's Bible--a rather sacred artifact of Halfworld's history--safe from the being known as Judson Jacks. During a long battle with the evil Judson, Rocket's girlfriend Lylla is kidnapped along with the bible and while Rocket does his best, he's only able to save Lylla.
It's not long after this that the Toy War begins and it is during this feud that Rocket is able to retrieve Gideon's Bible and turn it over to the robots on the other side of the planet. The Head Robot discovers, in the writings, that there is a way to cure the Loonies and helmets are created to do so. Afterwards, the newly cured Loonies, Rocket and his companions, and the robots join forces to put an end to the Toy War.
Afterwards, the newly aware humanoids offered Rocket and the others a chance to join their society but Rocket declined, leaving in Ship to explore the galaxy.
After a nasty run in with the Skrulls that resulted in Rocket losing a lot of his memories, the raccoon ends up a prisoner of the Kree and it's here that he meets Peter Quill aka The Star-Lord. He ends up joining Pete's team to help halt the Phalanx's attempted conquest of the galaxy; Rocket acted as a gifted military tactician who was also fearless, loyal, and insightful.
Afterwards he joined Starlord's Guardians of the Galaxy, where he proved essential to holding the team together when Starlord's leadership was questioned, keeping the team active despite several taking their leave. He ended up recruiting Bug and Mantis into the field team; Groot and Major Victory stayed on with the team as well. The War of Kings started and the team was put to the test with Rocket leading the Guardians into the fray to try and figure out what the flark was going on while Star-Lord went to the Kree homeworld to get answers. Meanwhile, Gamora and Adam Warlock were invading the Church of Truth to find out some answers to questions that Adam had while Drax the Destroyer and Phyla-Vel attempted to bring Heather aka Moondragon back to life. After getting caught and taken to a prison in the Negative Zone, Star Lord meets Jack Flag and the two manage to get a message to Mantis and the others that had come to their rescue. Rocket led the team to the prison and they were able to save both Peter and Jack, just in time for things to start getting worse.
As per usual.
The Universal Church or Truth continues to be a cause of problems for them and, after Adam Warlock goes a bit crazy and turns into Magus, the Guardians find out just what the church has been up to:
Bringing the Mad Titan back to life.
The Guardians are able to subdue Thanos and take him into custody, just in time for the the Church and Magus to tear open the Fault, letting in monstrous creatures led by the alternate version of Captain Mar-vell, Lord Mar-vell, the leader of the Cancerverse. After killing Magus, Mar-vell starts to search for Thanos who, as the Avatar of Death, is his nemesis and the battle cannot end until one of them is killed.
Needless to say, it leads to the Guardians teaming up with Thanos and heading into the Cancerverse to try and put a stop to things. Unfortunately, while they do accomplish their goal of collapsing the portal into the Cancerverse, Nova and Star-lord stay behind to make sure Thanos stays trapped as well.
Key Points of Rocket's current knowledge from home:
+Current surviving members: Gamora, Mantis, Bug, Jack Flag, Moondragon, Cosmo, Groot
Abilities/Special Powers:
+Enhanced Senses: Being a raccoon, many of Rocket's senses are heightened to levels well above human. He is able to see much better than humans and is extremely well adapted to near dark conditions. His enhanced sense of smell allows him to detect subtle changes in scents around him enabling him to detect the approach of others and increasing his ability to operate in darkness. With his broad auditory range, he can perceive tones outside the range of the human ear as well as subtle sounds caused by vibrations on the ground. His hyper sensitive paws allow him to identify objects before touching them with vibrissae located above his claws.
+Starship Pilot: Rocket is an extremely skilled pilot, able to control and fly pretty much every ship he's every come in contact with...after a bit of playing around first.
+Marksman: Thanks to his enhanced senses, and his general skill on the battlefield, Rocket is an excellent marksman, almost always hitting his target--and even if he doesn't get the bullseye, necessarily, he does still at least hit the target usually.
+Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Rocket is trained in hand-to-hand combat, able to go toe to toe with the best of them. It really doesn't matter the size of his opponent, Rocket is never to scared to jump into every fray and will fight tooth and nail even if he has absolutely no chance of winning.
+Military Tactician: Because of his position back on Half-world, Rocket has become quite the tactician--most of the reason why Star Lord recruited him into the Guardians in the first place. He's very good at reading the enemy and figuring out how to get a few steps ahead of them, loving the element of surprise most of all. He's not afraid to step up and take control if he has to and generally, because of his skill, will get his men through the thickest of situations.
Third-Person Sample:
So, his little excursion into the Badlands hadn't exactly been the adventure he'd hoped for. Not that it had been too dangerous or anything, but Rocket was starting to realize just how boring things could be without a team to support you and banter with. He'd grown far too use to being around the other Guardians that going solo just..it didn't feel right.
Needless to say, after a day of wandering the border and having some fun with the things he ran into, Rocket had returned to Haven.
He kept to his loner status for the most part--though that big scaly bastard he'd talked with over the feed had been entertaining and he kind of wanted to meet him in person--but he did end up crossing paths with one of the few giant robots inhabiting the place who's company he did kind of enjoy.
Despite the fact that there was a shooting range at the police headquarters they could have used, the pair made their own in the junk pile, which allowed for a lot more destruction; something that Rocket definitely kind of loved. Firing off a couple shots at one of the larger targets, Rocket smirked to himself as he perched on top of a pile of junk that put him at a good height for such a target, tail flicking about happily.
"Now this is what I've been missing," he mused, spinning his pistol around in his paw before blowing at the tip. "Always feels good to destroy something. Helps with anger issues, that's what I always told Drax."
First-Person Sample:
I don't know whose idea of a flarkin' joke this is but it's NOT funny!
[Someone's mad.
Really mad.
Rocket's fur is bristling as his ears press as flat as possible to his head, tail snapping back in forth in irritated flicks. It's not the snow that has him mad, because he's standing in the midst of it actually looking barely bothered by the cold.
What's got him pissed is the helmet he's clutching in one paw.]
Whoever left this for me, where did you get it?! I want answers and I bloody well want them now!
[Because something like this..Pete wouldn't just leave it around. It didn't make sense.
And that had Rocket worried but he was masking it with anger.]
