yggiB

"I would rather die fighting for my ideals than living under the old hierarchies that you all insist on dragging around like corpses."

Biographical Information

Age: 29 (2035), 30 (2036)

Sexuality and Gender: Aroace Agender (they/them, though they once used he/him)

Personality: It is easiest to describe yggiB as extremely emotional and idealistic. On a deeper level, they are someone who is highly compassionate, even if it often turns to rage or outburst, and will do whatever it takes to make that compassion real. yggiB also refuses to compromise on their ideals, a flaw which has caused their more compassionate side to be left in the dust more than once.

In The Story

Origins: yggiB was Biggy's first attempt to clone himself with his soul-splitting techniques. A small sliver of Biggy's soul, which contained Opposite characteristics, was cut out of him and placed into a vessel, and yggiB thus awoke. For a while, the two were fast friends. Opposites attract, after all. That changed rapidly when Biggy told them his plans to expand Bigsco, and yggiB stormed out, and swore to crush Bigsco at any cost.

Prior Tales: For some time, yggiB tormented Biggy and his associates at the campsite before being forced to oppose greater threats in the name of BigGlitch. When he had been defeated, yggiB wandered deep into the Earth's mantle to connect with his people and culture. Here, they met a group of people like them, a group of idealists who deigned to found a town as a beacon of hope in the wasteland. He became the head of that town's militia, and well respected among its populous. This was not without trouble, however, as ideals slowly clashed between the town's leaders, eventually leading yggiB as the last one of the original group standing. With this power, yggiB came to mobilize the town against Bigsco, especially over control of a valuable Instrument of Power, though a third party defeated them before they could obtain it.

Current Situation: yggiB has kept going without compromise, and has begun to mobilize their town one last time to give the final death blow to Bigsco after Biggy's "death." But there's a nagging feeling in the back of their mind. The town has largely suffered as a result of the removal of its leaders, and yggiB can't maintain dictatorial control forever. Ideals are fantastic, but maybe one can't do it alone. Maybe compromises will have to be made in the future...

Abilities

Strength: yggiB is synonymous in their power with excessive force. Their strength is second to few, and it allows them to handle most weapons (as well as many strength feats) comfortably.

• yggiB is trained in a variety of heavy martial weapons, as well as their fists, although they prefer to use their Battleaxe, which has a psecial ability to parry projectiles it hits.
• Their strength allows them to break, crush, punch, or otherwise destroy things easily. THis can be something like breaking a coffee mug under their grasp, or punching a wall inwards.
• Having such great strength also allows them to participate in physical challenges, such as picking up extremely heavy objects with ease, or overpowering an opponent.

Resilience: yggiB has also proven to be a stone wall. They are an adversary that will not be knocked down to any attack, and they can take more than a few hits.

• They can keep standing after many heavy attacks, and they can be alive after the smoke clears. Knocking them off their feet, even if you can get them off-balance, is extremely difficult.
• This resilience is mental as well. If they truly believe in a cause, then it is impossible for them to become demoralized. While they are more susceptible to psychic or mind attacks, they still show a base resilience higher than average.

Leadership: yggiB shows bravery, compassion, and authority as a leader. They don't take no for an answer when they're in charge, but remain just in their actions. Their style relies heavily on commanding and improvisation more than it does on proper planning.

• yggiB can rally just about anyone to a cause, and ensure that morale is kept high when they are on the front lines.
• Given the chance, they can adapt their improvised style of combat to those they fight with, often to exceptional results.
• They never back down from a conflict, and are willing to fight alongside those they lead until the bitter end.

Miscellaneous Notes

Fun Facts:

• yggiB is one of few characters to have swapped their pronouns in the story itself.
• yggiB has likely gone through the most redesigns out of any of my characters, mostly referring to their color. They started as red, then were yellow for a while before being orange, before eventually I settled into the red and black design you see today.
• Their battleaxe was most heavily inspired by DOOM's Crucible.

Writer's Writ: yggiB was the second character I created, mostly in order to have a villain that was a slightly edgier, braver, and somehow heroic version of Biggy. As my writing abilities became better, yggiB came to be much more of an antihero in the way that they never truly align with the side of the "good guys," but the reasons they oppose or support the protagonists come from a heavy sense of morals and ideals. They're meant to be the reverse of Biggy in that way. Whereas he does things to achieve an intended result, yggiB acts out of ideals without necessarily looking for a specific outcome.
