- Backstory -


Originally, the Sol Industries Crash Test Modelâ„¢ was never supposed to be a puplic model, it was only used for in-house testing for not only Sol Industries technology but to also test durable materials and makeups for robotics to be more efficient. However during the production process of their most recent version one of the manufactured models had a defect, their AI System wasn't programmed with the correct limitations and was allowed to freely grow and develop into full sentience and free will, Which if discovered could land the company in trouble for using essentially a living person as a tool.

 

To prevent a lawsuit or worse a full-scale shutdown of the operation, the defect model was deactivated and sealed in storage until they had a solid plan for what to do with it. Fate, however, had other plans. The storage facility was raided by Snake Eyes, a team of villains from various walks of life and occupations lead by the enigmatic Outlaw, to equip themselves with higher tech equipment. Two of these Villains were responsible for the robbery. Although most of the goods were sucessfully protected by two unknown vigilantes, the crash test model was not and fell into the hands of Snake Eyes

 

The Model, which awoke to its new-found compatriates was welcomed with open arms into the group. Given a name and new purpose. Although at the time he could not fully understand the weight of these things, he is eternally grateful to his found family for giving him the chance to experience the world himself and to be able to do incredible things with people he has grown to admire.

- Personality -


Dave is quite the Optimistic and Welcoming person with a positive cheerful outlook on life, he's always there for whenever anyone is struggling even if they're strangers to him due to his upbringing around various people from different backgrounds and pasts. Dave is never quick to judge, and is quite emotionally intelligent, acting as an anchor for his team to keep them grounded and cared for when things get bad.

 

Aside from that, Dave is incredibly excitable and cheerful!

He's always there to engage in fun activites or volunteer himself to go out and do missions or acompany his team on outings to engage with the wider world and enjoy it's many facets. Dave adores the times he gets to talk and play games with his team-mates more then anything and will always be down to make a competition out of the tiniest things just to have some fun. Along with his love of games he loves playing jokes and engaging with banter.

 

Although he is a warm ray of sunshine, he isn't exactly the brightest. his AI did come pre-installed with a sizeable amount of information but a lot of it isn't applicable to everyday life and thus he often comes around as socially inept or lacking in proper rational sense. He's emotionally driven and it ends up in him stumbling into trouble and laughing it off, that or bumping heads with other people over stupid arguments believing himself to be correct becuase he dosen't have the life experience to allow him to accept his own failings

 

Dave is incredibly driven, admiring those who can acomplish great things and help people. Heroes are a spot for his insporation, even if it dosen't make sense with his line of work as a villain, he thinks heroes are truly the greatest of greats becuase they help people without a second thought and look cool doing it. Dave often mocks heroes by performing made up 'Techniques' which are attacks he names that are inspired by these figuries.

- Abilities -


Passive Ability - [REBUILD]

Dave can passively absorb energy around him and use it fuel himself, as well as store it heighten his abilites. This energy usually just comes from the natural air around him but can also be from targeted energy-based attacks (Example being Fire).

Active Ability - [REBOUND]

Resistant to Physical Attacks, Dave's REBOUND allows him to use the Physical force and Kinetic energy to resist and counter attacks. Acting as a form of counter, Dave can use the absorbed attack to hit back with equal force. The stronger the attack made against Dave when he is using Rebound then the stronger the hit back dave will give is. 

REBOUND cannot be stronger then what the opponent did to Dave.

Ultimate Ability - [RUIN]

Once Dave absorbs enough energy using REBUILD and physical attacks using REBOUND, he can use RUIN, this attack surrounds Dave's fists in energy as he releases all his stored up stock into a flurry of devestating attacks. The more Dave stores up the bigger the effect of the damage is, so it's usually his Finisher. This attack is also specific in devestating terrain, being able to crack hills and create small whirlwinds from the sheer force of his blows.

Once RUIN has been used, Dave's energy will be highly depleted and he'll lack any energy from either of his two abilities and be at his body's manufactured limit. If RUIN dosen't take out his opponent when used, then Dave will lose the fight. 

Various Named Attacks

Dave has a habit of making up random Named Attacks which although do not provide any other bonus or ability are in-themselves acctual combat styles and moves that he has copied or took inspiration from the media he consumes to do. These attacks fall under his many "Techniques" which are all ordered with a number. He has around a few dozen of these saved in his memory from grabs to reversals to jumping kicks.

- Strengths -


Dave's biggest strength is his Speed and Tenacity, his fighting style allows him to always react to another persons movements and attacks and hit back right after, going from defensive to offensive stances with ease as he flows with the fight itself. Alongside this his fighting style is heavily adaptive and can change to fit with the opponent he's facing with ease.

Dave can also easily manipulate the enviroment around him by breaking the arena to alter the play of the enviroment with his stronger attacks, either using them as projectiles which he lacks, or by altering the terrain's height and shape itself to use as his advantage.

- Weaknesses -


Dave's body has hard-coded limitations from his manufacturing down to the very software of his reflexes, meaning that once he expends all his energy in a fight there isnt a viable way of him recovering. Another major weakness of his body Electricty, while it can charge him up with REBUILD if he is exposed to too much electricity at once his internals have a chance to shortcircuit, effectively dropping him unconsious.

Although his body itself is quite sturdy the black segments are weaker then the rest and with his fighting style entirely composed of reactive counter attacks there is a high likelyhood of his limbs breaking off during a fight, this won't put him down but it still will put him at a serious disadvantage.

Dave is my first ever OC! Originally created back in 2021 When I began my development as an Artist and have slowly been chipping away at his design ever since. Dave wishes he could eat but can't. Dave loves Kamen Rider and one of his moves is an emulated Rider Kick.
