Description: Scoglio is the ultimate dream of any body builder. A dusty red, tan colored skin encases a tremendously muscled body that looks to be almost human with the exception of slightly longer arms and legs. The face and head somewhat resemble that of a human’s though it lacks ears, hair, and has a less prominent nose and chin, being more smoothed.
Combat Style: Scoglio is a cautious, yet opportunistic fighter. Centuries fighting in the Ring have taught him to waste as little energy as possible and to attack hard and fast. He will often keep his distance from his foe in the first few minutes of an engagement, studying how they move, behave, fight, etc. After he has formulated all of this over, he then charges in to fight.
Qualities:
- Considering Scoglio was made and trained for physical combat, it is obvious that he has great physical strength. Beneath his rock hard skin lie muscles that grant him the physical strength that other creatures, even the very strongest, can only dream of. Because of this, his punches and kicks lay in considerable damage with each strike. It is this colossal well of strength that possibly make Scoglio the most physically strong monster in existence.
- Scoglio hands, elbows, feet, knees, and head are covered in an extra hard layer of skin and bone. This layer is so thick that nerve cells are unable to fully function. Because of this, the hands, elbow, feet, and knees are incapable of feeling pain, while the head’s ability is significantly lessened. Additionally, the hands are able to increase the layers of skin whenever Scoglio wishes, allowing them to grow larger and heavier, ensuring to pack an even heavier punch. The rest of his body is covered in a less thick version of this skin, giving Scoglio supreme defensive capabilities, granting him the ability to take blow after blow and keep on attacking. There is also a layer similar to this protective skin layer on Scoglio’s teeth, granting him impressive biting abilities. Surprisingly, the ultra protective skin grants him an all around protection against stabbing and other puncture wounds.
- Curiously, Scoglio is able to focus pain into anger which he is then able to focus into strength. Because of this, repeated blows will cause Scoglio to go into a rage where he is even more fierce and even stronger, yet still controlled.
- Scoglio displays the curious ability of being fully ambidextrous as well as highly intelligent. This allows him to switch between various fight stances, such as fighting right handed or left handed, in the blink of an eye. Because of this ability, Scoglio is completely fluent in whichever stance he chooses and able to create strategies when facing an opponent.
- The Will: The Will is a special stream of determination that flows within Scoglio. It grants him the ability to fight on where most others would have fallen.
- Scoglio is completely resistant to all heat and flamed based attacks and can even draw energy from them.
- Scoglio holds a weakness to Ice based attacks. Ice attacks cause him to become sluggish and slower, making his punches and kicks less powerful. He can defend against these attacks however with his Heart on Fire technique. Scoglio also holds pressure points similar to humans.
Special Attacks:
-Heart on Fire: Scoglio is able to consume his body in flames, or focus them into any of his limbs. When focused into his limbs, the very ends of the limbs - either the hands or feet - become entirely consumed in flame. Any flaming punch or kick that does not land on its target will release a forward flying fireball. Scoglio can also focus the Heart of Fire into his teeth when biting. Lastly, Scoglio can focus the Heart of Fire into the area surrounding him, igniting the very air and ground around him on fire. Flaming hands and feet can be used to block energized weapons. Charging the Heart on Fire into the surrounding area can also block energized attacks.
-Strikes of the Soul: Scoglio can charge energy into his fists and feet, causing them to wield heavier damage. Any punch that does not connect forms an orb that flies ahead. Energized fists and feet can be used to block energized weapons.
-Flying Spirit: Scoglio can leap to an incredible distance and then focus all of his weight and energy into his feet as he falls. When he lands he sends massive shockwaves through the ground that could knock almost any monster off its feet. This attack can also be tied with the Heart on Fire or Strikes of the Soul to cause waves of flame and magma or energy to accompany the massive shockwaves.
Origin/History: Scoglio was born from the human thirst for violent entertainment. Thousands of years ago he was created to take place in a civilization’s regular gladiatorial battles, though they bordered more on modern day boxing matches then the bloody gladiatorial battles of Ancient Rome. It was from here that Scoglio etched his name.
Scoglio was originally intended to be a weakling contender used solely to boost the records of the more “desirable” fighters. However, his creators noticed something strange as he kept winning whatever fight he was placed in. His supreme strength, lightning fast speed, and clever fighting quickly placed him higher and higher up in the rankings until he became the number 1 contender for the top fighter. In a single round, Scoglio practically shattered his opponents skull, killing him on the spot and making Scoglio the new champion.
From his new title, Scoglio was able to fight in the international leagues, fighting against a wide variety of opponents from across the planet and even some off the planet. Still, fight after fight, Scoglio proved to be the ultimate contender. Yet as he grew higher and higher, so did the number of his enemies grow. Deciding that the champion had had enough time in the spotlight, his various enemies from civilizations far and wide pooled their resources to create what they thought to be the “ultimate” contender.
What they created was Mesothos, a massive minotaur like beast with ungodly strength and rage. After having Mesothos fight his way to the top, killing each and every one of his opponents, they slated Scoglio to fight Mesothos in a 1,000 round battle during Scoglio’s home civilization’s holiest week. Millions gathered around the colossal pit that served as a ring to watch these two titans battle.
The fight began as cheers echoed through the pit as the two beasts slugged away at each other. By the 500th round, the two were still evenly matched though Mesothos was beginning to take a lead. By the 750th round, Mesothos had a clear lead, though both beasts were hurting bad. As the fight entered into the last ten rounds, tensions grew higher than ever.
Despite Mesothos’ best punches, Scoglio stayed on his feet to the disbelief of the spectators. It was The Will inside of him that kept Scoglio fighting even after Mesothos cracked his skull. The tensions were higher than ever as the fight entered into the final five rounds.
It was here that Scoglio received his second wind and began his great comeback. For three whole rounds he pounded Mesothos, not letting the minotaur land a single punch. The next round, unfortunately, belonged to an enraged Mesothos, though Scoglio got his fair share of shots in. It was in the final round however that sparks really flew.
Knowing this was his one chance to clearly end this fight, Scoglio came at Mesothos with unforeseen rage and strength. Mesothos just stood their, unable to even defend himself as punch after punch landed against his head. As the final seconds of the round ticked down, Scoglio focused all of the pain he had experienced through the fight into a rage powered punch. Mesothos gave a brief grunt before Scoglio slammed a fist against his head, knocking the minotaur’s head clear off his shoulders. His headless body collapsed to the ground just as the bells were rung to signify the end of the fight. Scoglio stood victorious.
Over time the civilization that bore Scoglio collapsed and disappeared. Freed to do as he pleased, he found a remote island that he was able to call home. This is where he resides now, resting. Though, inside there are the thoughts of him returning to the fight...
