They participate in a show that rivals Phighting! (don’t tell Hardhat they also watch it hahahaha)
Information about Brickbattle in general here
Hosted by the elusive Hardhat, he has picked people from all walks of life! And here they all are
An amnesiac found at Crossroads! Dragonheart claims he is a wandering monster slayer with unwavering faith to Icedagger. Cold an unforgiving, gaps in the memory don’t hold him back!
A so-called “bad girl”, she causes chaos across both Playground and Thieves’ Den! The sound of her Hoss Hog never goes unheard. Contrary to her fiery nature, her gear seems to be better for sniping than destruction.
A cosplaying model who resurfaced after supposedly retiring years ago! Catch him geeking about a certain “odyssey” he has been playing recently… For an open hearted guy, the sound of his howitzer never fails to put opponents on edge.
An abstract artist whose work never fails to be misunderstood! That’s okay, she doesn’t understand herself either. Possessing a devious streak, this too shines in her battle performance.
A backpacker thought to be dead after a camping incident. He has turned to vigilantism after what had happened those years. Sly as a fox, he always takes down opponents by surprise! Speaking of which, does Shot stand for gunshot or slingshot? Who knows?
A mechanic asleep by day and awake at night! The only thing that matters to him in this world is his “twin.” Though his gear specializes in defense, he’s still a menace on his own— a brick to the head certainly hurts!
The child of a famous Lost Temple inventor, certainly a child prodigy! They smile a lot just as much as they cry a lot! Would the genius running the bloodline carry them through battle? They’d certainly say so!
(P.s. these guys take heavy inspiration from Super Doomspire and Combat Initiation which made me decide not to make them all 100% the og Brickbattle weapons)
Here's some blurbs! They're long so they're under the split
Rake:
Spade and Shovel's father and the primary family they had throughout their life (besides each other). Before election, he was a farmer, but he was very charismatic. He knew what the people of the vault wanted, and he represented that over the competition at the time. He was basically "the man of the people" after a long time of corruption.
The vault terms are until retirement/end of life. As the overseer, he had a generally successful term, though he started to lose touch with the part of himself that made him so relatable, especially with the loss of his spouse. He changed , and became more protective, sometimes sheltering his twin children too much and keeping them involved with his leadership closer than he should have.
His decisions around how to handle the famine caused a split amongst the vault, first his leadership was challenged and then 'war' broke out. By the time the vault regained the control he had almost wasted away, and he left the leadership to his twins. No one was left in the position to challenge the young overseers.
Trowel:
Spade and Shovel's mother. Manager of the farm system. The whole system. Incredibly intelligent, but often more quiet and reserved than their spouse. She preferred to let other people handle the social situations. Fell in love with Rake when he was a farmer and supported him throughout his campaign, though she would often express how she missed when life was simpler.
She passed away from a terminal illness, and around her death came the first domino in the failure of the farm. The person taking over her position struggled, but the agricultural system the vault used was on the verge of collapse even if she was still alive.
They would often joke how it wasn't fair their whole family was so tall.
Shovel takes after her personality a lot.
Egg Timer:
It is really wound up and high strung, and it works itself up a lot. It is very righteous, like Timer, and tends to tick like she does.
It tends to be pretty serious all the time, and it can take a second to get a joke. Prone to yelling at other kitchen staff, but it works as hard as the rest of them and yells at people who mess with the staff even more. It's a feisty little timer.
It's very intense, and is quick to start fights and pick sides.
Light Bulb:
They aren't very verbose, like Timer, nor are they very physically expressive. They tend to be passive, even to the point they get walked over. Despite how intense Egg Timer is though, she always gives them the space to talk.
They like joking around, especially if they're able to catch Egg Timer off guard. Prone to pranks. Their bulb lights up when they have an idea and Egg Timer knows to look out for that. They're a terrible liar, even with a good poker face.
Their face is basically always :) and :| and they're really mellow
They would spend more time with their daughter Timer with their lower paced job. Timer was bored at the time but she really misses doing the rounds with them.
Corkboard:
This guy has a major RBF, and it's not because of all the pins in his face. He and his wife handle the education in the vault, with Cork being the one to handle the more 'serious' topics like math and history. He has a low tolerance for shenanigans and a very strict, often cold personality.
He loves his son, but Push Pin is such a goofball that he was often getting in trouble with his dad, and used to think he'd just never be able to make him proud.
Despite being a strait laced, stern faced guy, he did have a secret soft spot for the silly things from time to time. He'd surprise his spouse and son with little silly gestures from time to time, like small pranks or dressing up for a history lesson.
Paint Bucket:
Very artsy, very silly, people don't look at Paint Bucket and it getting along with someone like Corkboard, but it did more than make it work, it was the one that courted him.
Paint Bucket did art, english and music. And for science, she and Corkboard would work together to make hands on small science projects.
The vault was very low on supplies and its library was small so she'd have to be creative to make it work.
Push Pin takes a lot after them, and it was sometimes a bad influence. When Push Pin would get in trouble for pulling a prank, Paint Bucket might secretly unground him.
Vault life was very dull, often by design with the walls all looking the same and the life centered around keeping the farm alive, and Paint Bucket thought this was vital to keeping up morale.
