crunch nom nom crunch [hider=The Judge][b]*Name:[/b] Pablo. He introduces himself as the Judge without exception, for reasons not openly stated. [b]*Universe:[/b] OFF [b]*Appearance:[/b] A pure white cat with a large head, surreal grin and rather stiff hind legs. Concept art [url=http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140528180603/offgame/images/f/fc/Judge_02.jpg]here[/url], in-game sprite art [url=http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140528165322/offgame/images/b/b6/The-Judge.png]here[/url], descriptive fanart [url=http://worldofoff.deviantart.com/art/The-Judge-386409945]here[/url]. [b]*Personality:[/b] Polite and dignified. The Judge is a knowledgeable, discerning individual who gladly interacts with others with a touch of wit and drama. Although the Judge is quite wordy, his attitude is not condescending, and treats others as equals. That said, the Judge can be authoritative when the situation requires it. The Judge is honest in what he says to or concerning himself or others, although not typically open about his own origins. Notably, Pablo is still grieving over the death of his brother and regrets the part he played in the destruction of his home universe, and his fear of repeating past mistakes may influence his decisions. [b]*Powers/Skills:[/b] The Judge can exert a psychic influence on an opponent's body. This induces brief surges of disabilities such as paralysis and blindness, or more direct damage by rupturing blood vessels to cause internal bleeding. The Judge's own body is that of an arthritic cat, not capable of significant harm. On paper, anyway. We all know how much damage a household cat can do in practice. Within the single warehouse of his own Zone 0, the Judge has been seen teleporting and may have possessed powers similar to the Guardians of other Zones, but these are localised to a building far away, granted by a being long dead. [b]*Brief Bio:[/b] The Judge is a cat who lived in a warehouse in a world of four surreal areas named Zones. An entity called the Batter turned up at the warehouse claiming to be a messiah, and the Judge taught him some skills before sending him on his way. The Batter first entered Zone 1, where he began his self-appointed task of destroying the spectres harassing the humanoid Elsen living there. After encountering Dedan, Guardian of Zone 1, the Batter observed him exploiting the Elsen's fear and paranoia, and eventually killed him. The death of Dedan led to Zone 1 collapsing into a colourless, lifeless world, and the Batter continued to Zone 2. The entity claiming to be Zone 2's Guardian was identified by the wandering Judge as Valerie, his feline brother. Valerie acted strangely and violently towards the Elsen, causing the Judge considerable confusion and distress. During a showdown, the true Guardian of Zone 2, a massive phoenix-like creature named Japhet, emerged from Valerie's body where he'd been hiding, killing him. The Batter slew Japhet in turn, and Zone 2 followed the same path as Zone 1. The Judge was deeply shocked by this, and remained in Zone 2 for some time, grieving. Meanwhile, the Batter continued to kill the Guardian of Zone 3 before entering a space called the Room, where the Queen of the Zones resided. The Batter killed both her and a mysterious child whose death had the same nullifying effect on the Room itself. Following this murder, the Judge finally reappeared to confront the Batter, condemning his rampage and regretting that he had allowed it to take place. In one ending of the game, the Batter killed Pablo, then extinguished the light illuminating the empty Zones forever. In the other, the Judge overcame the Batter, killing him at the price of spending the rest of his days in a bleached, empty world. Until that world collided with Crossover City. [b]*Equipment:[/b] Bad memories and a considerable vocabulary. [b]*Others:[/b] As a point of interest, he is known to have owned a basement full of narcotic sugar, possibly intended for personal use. Like everything else in OFF, though, there are unspoken shenanigans involved.
