Description:
Yurius is, by all means just Doctor Robotnik from a different universe. He's a 200cm tall hunk of technologically advanced junk. Some parts of him still resemble something nature could have spat out, but beneath the skin and fat, he is more machine than man. The only remaining biological parts left of this unholy conjoining of flesh and metal are the brain and a handful of key organs he still requires for mortal pleasures like eating, drinking, smoking, and so on. He is an imposing, walking bulwark covered in thick external and internal plating, which comes complete with a retractable full-face helmet that connects to his re-breather, as well as a weaponized left arm. In addition to his suit and armor, he also wears a long, thick, heavy yellow cape and an equally comparable scarf which, in of itself, can be used as a sort of bizarre lasso or whip-like weapon.
Personality:
Yurius is by no means a tactical genius or a highly inspiring leader, but he is certainly rough, wroth, and intimidating. He is primarily a warrior, second-place an inventor, and although he admires all things on the techy or sciency side, he focuses on creating tools of war and machines. His reasons for escaping to this universe are rather bleak, as his own was left uninhabitable after an eternity of conflict and war and he is now on a mission to find a new home for himself and his remnants. He has not met any Mobians or similar races prior to coming here, due to them simply not existing in his home universe. Despite his demeanor and generally being a very scary man, he can be amicable under certain conditions. He can be commonly seen chomping down cigars and cigarettes of various origins, usually accompanied with alcohol.
Abilities and Powers:
While he has no powers in a traditional sense, Yurius is a tough nut to crack based on his physique alone. His armor AND body have been built to survive extreme temperatures both hot and cold, as well as other kinds of physical damage or hazards. His left arm is loaded with a rocket launcher, a flak cannon (which can fire both actual shells or just shrapnel in a manner similar to pellets) and a laser cannon. All of these have a low ammunition count save for the laser cannon, and as such, they are usually secondary or emergency weapons. To top it all off, he can also just straight up punch with the force of a hydraulic press.
Arsenal [WIP]:
Red Guards: Red-colored SWATbot-like troops who are entirely robotic. Generally used as, well, guards or patrols, they are equipped with wrist-mounted light lasers and stun rays and are rather lightly armored compared to the rest of the army.
Scanner Bots: Gray-colored, flying scanners roughly the size of a fist, shaped like a ball with minor plating and a tiny red eye-like camera. Their main purpose is scouting, but they come armed with stun rays and an internal explosive with roughly the force of a grenade in case a unit requires to be self-destructed. They are the lightest of Robotnik's troops.
Main Battle Droids: The backbone of Robotnik's forces. They very closely resemble Red Guards, with the obvious differences of being black and chromatic in their plating with a red non-chromatic patch on the center of their chest depicting a mockup of the Warlord's face. They appear burlier and taller than their Guard counterparts and are generally better protected at the cost of being heavier and slower. They have the same wrist-mounted weapons as the Guards, with the laser being swapped out for a rocket launcher. However, with the addition of being armed with repeating laser rifles, their wrist-mounted weapons are deemed secondary.
Cybernites: Clad in red armor similar to Yurius' own, these are former humans from his universe, likely death-row prisoners or other unwanted individuals that were demoted to this existence as a punishment. They resemble Robotnik himself in every way but face, shape, and size. They are naturally issued lower-quality equipment and serve as one of his special forces. There is little sign of cognitive existence to them, and, as such, they behave almost like robotic troops with no soul. They apply squad-based tactics in a very programmed way and generally use repeating laser rifles as their primary weapons, with laser pistols as their secondary, and are equipped with thermal and cryo grenades as well as retractable single wrist blades on their respective dominant arms for close combat.
Yuri's Hope: A massive red and yellow colored flagship of triangular shape, likely hurriedly repurposed judging by its poor state. There are several laser-based turrets on it, and a single ion cannon that could be used for long-range attacks. It is also the only space-faring vehicle that Robotnik currently possesses, minus minor transport that are already part of the thing. It is what has brought him here through the inter-universal rift, and that was a one-way trip. It contains a considerable population of cryogenically frozen people and Robotnik is the only free-thinking life on deck most of the time. The interior can be compared to a few cities in terms of size if cities were made up of levels upon levels of hallways and rooms.
Inventions [WIP]:
Cyberizer: Often called "The Meatgrinder" back home, this is a device that extracts the bare necessities in terms of organs from living beings and encases them within mechanical bodies in order to improve them in a fashion much like Yurius himself. It can optionally install chips inside of the extracted brains that ensures obedience and submission. Individuals who receive this treatment are generally unwilling.
Weaknesses:
Yurius is physically slow and lacks finesse, he can be also easily blinded by (usually negative) emotions too much to see the whole picture. Additionally, he quite literally cannot swim completely due to his weight and will always sink. All of his physical weaknesses are only marginally improved when he is out of his armor.
