EMERALD
Real Name : She will hunt me if I tell you about this, so not for now lol.
Nick : Emerald, Emmy, Em
Color : #00FF00 for main color, #FFFFFF for the head fill, and around #BE8B00 for the hair and actual manga eyes (simply draw those green circles for the eyes if you want to make it simple XD).
Age : 21
Abilities :
- Able to duplicate herself until twice of her current age (means 42 by now, including herself). The clones can simply leave the main body after a short internal body vibration for the duplication process, even the clones can still create another clones until the maximum capacity has been reached. They are really identical to each other that as long as one of her is still alive, she won't lose the battle until all existing Emeralds are defeated first. Though she tends to keep the number down in battles (mostly 10 if the enemy's not that demonic, sort of thing. It's situational at times, really).
- She's able to communicate with her clones telepathically, which is truly effective for their synced coordination when doing tag-teams.
- While cloning herself, she can duplicate objects which are lighter than her current weight (varies between 47-50 kg), as long as they're in contact with Emerald's skin. An exception can be seen in weakness section.
- The clones' thought are independent, but often focus on same purpose as the real Emerald does.
- Her fighting style is unidentified by now, preferably uses punches and kicks only, yet it's helped with her well reflexes and acrobat movements mostly for dodging or anticipating.
Weapon and additions:
Emerald has a recorder that can launch a tiny metallic spike (originally made from a toothpick with some Mag-ink, scroll below for further info about Mag-ink) from the recorder's mouth. It could be launched only if the whole pipe holes has been fully closed with the blue shelters provided in the middle of head joint. In before, the tone hole on the lip joint must be the first to be closed so that the head joint's shelters can be attracted and used manually, like loading a shotgun, literally.
There are 10 spikes inside the recorder which can be used on each battle. Emerald herself can shoot it effectively with almost same speed as bullets due to hidden thruster provided inside the foot joint.

What kind of power do this Mag-ink have? Two words: MASS. EFFECT. When you put a drop of it on any kind of utilities, the ink will spread until the whole surface is covered and its color turned into grey-ish, making them hard to be destroyed, like titanium. YET, if your inner body got injected by a simple drop of the ink, it will go through your body system deeper until it finds your limb's nerve and makes it paralyzed in 1 minute unless you're trying to lose the effect harder in certain ways, it could disappear faster (into several seconds only).
The more you move after being hit by one of the Mag-ink spikes, it will try to slow you down even more (6 spikes will paralyze you completely after 10 seconds since the last shot).
Notice if Emerald rather shoots a single spike on certain opponent's limb than all of them that may cause faster out-of-bullet-stock situation, except when she sees an opportunity when she can shoot most of them. Although she's still too doubtful about it, but her battles will help her to improve her fighting skills.
There might be possibilities that the Mag-ink can be manipulated for unusual battle purpose (other than just a mere hardened version of slimey ink), because somewhat recently the ink was found to be self-aware with its surroundings and its current owner and user...[/spoiler]
Weaknesses :
- Even though Emerald's clones look tough from the outside and can't be differentiated with each other, there is one fatal weakness for this advantage. Her clones (or she with her clones) will involuntarily self-merge once a skin contact has been made and they release each other's contact - even an unnoticed short bump will do.
- Not to mention that she can't somehow clone objects that are heavier than herself AND her main weapon while self-duplicating.
- She really needs to close her eyes during the duplication process to prevent total dizziness when splitting. There were times when she did this with eyes opened but it needs a higher concentration so that she won't lose focus. She ended up a bit dizzy still, hence she has to close her eyes.
- The recorder's blue shelter can be broken when it's clashed 11 times with other kind of combat melee weapon (e.g. sword, staff, spear, etc.) but range weapon (e.g. shotguns, pistols, snipers, etc.) while the recorder itself can break with the opponents' final special attack. To prevent the flute from the break, she prefers not to use it unless the enemy approaches her pretty fast with sword, sort of thing. Plus, when the shelter that covers the whole pipe holes is broken, she won't be able to shoot the spike properly anymore, even with her own fingers because it requires specific material that covers the recorder itself.
- She has quite low stamina (around 60%-65%). Thus, she can be seen to breathe every time her opponent got knocked or far away from her in a while.

At a corner of Dark City where Emerald and her brother lived for 3 years after the incident, Red-Hot was "killed" by a four-armed stranger due to his action as an everyday robbery and left his identity card as a later clue for her to find out an RHG world. Emerald later discovered her duplication power as a form of her lost while telepathically being told by dying Red-Hot that she was still three when first time used the ability unconsciously. Soon after, Red-Hot's body turned into ashes and flied away to the nowhere while she took the stranger's card to be kept in her pocket. Minutes later she also found out that she and the clone will instantly self-merge after releasing their contact while she was hugging her own clone. She then learnt a price of stealth to continue on her brother's way to survive, until she met Blak just to find another shoulder to cry on as well as friendly douching-bag training for 7-8 years ahead.
On her 17, Blak assumed Emerald was ready to meet her with their User which then they found out that they should infiltrate "her" high school to meet and have a talk with for one year ahead. Their User - Mustika - then unconsciously introduced her with the RHG system where Red-Hot was actually, saying that he was still alive and was found on the fire source inside the RHG battlefield itself. This condition for sure enlightened her to join one and made an account on StickPage as a registration proof into the RHG world without Mustika's official approval. Until the end of their school era, both decided to go solo with their own business, but still keeping their contacts via phones while the combat was on.
Given with a sheltered recorder from Mustika as well as packs of toothpicks covered with Mag-Ink thanks to Blak's invention and more undiscovered secrets from the flute itself AND the four-armed stranger's identity card, Emerald is ready to start her journey to find her brother and also rock-on the Rock Hard World!
Update 4/9/2015 : She tried to think about her fitting title and this came out. The 'self-dozens' part is pretty much self-explanatory, while the 'stranger' part came from the place she realized her self-duplication power, and that place's not her hometown.[/spoiler]
[spoiler="Mustika"]April 18th, 2013...
That was the most shocking things I ever heard from her mouth after almost a year we've met.
It all started this morning when she received an email from Rock Hard Gladiator Inc. about her turn's battle. Yes, a battle! Can you believe that? At the time she showed me that RHG Inc. forum (which according to me, it's really awful and bloody), I was responding it neutrally and trying not to question her weird excitement on that. She just recently registered on there though, from what she said to me. Then, there was one of our teacher (it's Blak a.k.a. Charlie, that mustache doesn't really help his disguise) who pulled me in when I passed the teacher's room, and directly explained me if she was going to one of those battles. Again as a person who possessed Eternal Reincarnation* he was always 100% right and this might affect her future career. I, as her only best friend on this high school, have a right to worry her. Doesn't she wants to go to college with better life and bright career?
"No," she said calmly when I asked that question when we were sitting on a 1 meter block at corridor right in front of our class, yet shocked me in silence, "I can't seem to think about future without my brother. The mail clearly state that he has become one of the best fighters there and I need to meet him."
"Wow, hold on there," I cut her said with several triggered questions, wanting to be exploded from my mind. "You never told me you have one! How is he? I'm also starting to questioning your presence on that forum there. Were you really, really just got yourself registered there? How could it be??"
She stared at me quite long time with elusive expression - bit looked suspicious to me - before asking, "Now I'm the one who is getting curious about you. Haven't you and Blak talked to each other this morning, at break time? 'We' have been watching you there."
Damn it, what does this girl not know about me?! I thought quite harshly, while keeping the neutral expression in front of her at the same time. Bet she was seeing me being pulled into the teacher's room at the National Exam's break time from our school's 3rd floor balcony which only had a mini greenhouse behind. It was facing right towards that room so that balcony could be a perfect vantage point for those who likes to look the whole part of this school, as well as school citizens.
I confessed, praised her self duplication ability once again from many times, "As a person who likes to use her powers properly, you're really good with that..."
"What? No," she denied my sentence (probably regarding to my praise with her power) by turning her head towards me with slight wonder yet somewhat full of confidence, and continued, "Don't you remember? You told me about my brother's popular presence there. I'm sure I heard that right."
"Eh..."
Well, she got me. I didn't even remember it, at all. Might be my other persona or something, but I just carried on with my recent question I wanted to ask, "Consider I'm throwing that fact at the moment because there's something more important I'd like to know now. Something that you didn't tell me before, sis. Blak had told me several things about your upcoming battle from that silly forum you just registered, and I want to match the story with your version. Sorry if I seem to push you, but I think this is the only way." I closed my sentence by turning my face around and looking straight through the 10 × 5 m2 field, watching those school boys playing basketball. Now that's what I called real slam dunk! I praised at a player in silent, yet smirking a bit. He seemed to be a 12 Social 1 grade student with that specific punk hair, yet one of the smartest one in our school.
After taking a deep breath and opening her closed eyes while blinking them, Emerald started to tell me the whole story. Apparently her parents left her and also her brother at the time she was having her 5th birthday! They (or only her brother to be exact) then had lived as thieves with homeless for straight 5 years until some other stranger noticed their presence. She recognized him as 'Mr. Grey-with-sunglasses', giving cold looks for those who stared him. Without any specific reason, he killed - or that was that damn stranger thought - her brother by simply punching his chest. Red-Hot, Emerald's older brother, got down after several useless fight while that stranger left something like a card and quickly left that place without caring them anymore.
Emerald's dying brother then noticed something strange from his little sister when he got frustrated with his upcoming death. There was 2 Emeralds staring him with exact same voices to keep him alive and persist with his pain. It kind of worked, her (or their at that moment) brother did smile after seconds being confused - again. From that situation, he told Emerald everything about her power in which he already saw when she was still 3, while his body slowly turned into ash. They got merged afterwards because of the skin contact after hugging each other.
I saw Emerald almost drop her tears apart when she said that Red-Hot would still be alive and told her to find him after she had been prepared. Prepared for what? For the last time, I've been made drenched by her story, yet it also made my true expression easily noticeable.
She quickly org
