the hero

[sibylline,]

a tryout for 1200
do not post

in the midst of the fighting, a ton of aliens were swallowed by vines and plants. the battle paused as everyone stopped to try and comprehend what was happening. suddenly, a figure shot out of the plants. he hovered high above the battle, with the sun towards the cyborgs the aliens couldn't get a good look at him.
the cyborgs began to cheer and rushed back into battle.

ooc;
So I'm going to try and create this form mostly through stories,
so I'm going to take a minute to clarify the basics
name; asa
gender; male
theme; cyborg
list of edits;
standard; shine
common; hair, tail
uncommon; short fur, custom ears, custom tongue
rare; extra ears, glow, extra eye, halo, two extra limbs, two missing limbs, two tails, horns on the head, colorful blood
legendary; ability of flight/levitation, elemental aspects (plants), magical abilities (can basically control plants, growing
them at their will)
an important note;
his two mechanical legs are simply prosthetics. you can see where the leg ends (purple)
also his robot ear isn't actually wired into anything, the wire just goes through the other ear like a piercing and wraps
around the horn and sort of just dangles on his head. the other side has an ear the same size as the robot ear with the
same colouring as the front ear. otherwise he's fairly symmetrical

as the fight continued, we were beginning to lose hope. we were being pushed back a lot. i have to keep my faith in my soldiers but it was becoming increasingly difficult. every step they took back, everyone who fell. i watched as we kept retreating, slowly but surely. i just hoped that something, anything could give us a break.

as if my wish was answered, a large group of aliens were suddenly swallowed by vines and plants. it's suddenness and the weirdness of it caused everyone to stop and stare. what could have caused this to happen? my mind jumped to an old legend my grandfather had told me. a hero who could command plants. it sounded dumb and impractical at the time, but now it seems real.

both sides held their breath in waiting; this occurrence could spark the end of the battle, or it could be some monster we have to work together to defeat. everything went from the sound of lasers flying and swords and metal clashing to silence.

dead silence.

and then he burst out. a figure shot straight up out of the plants. it was him.

i began to cheer, shouting his name and running back into battle.

"asa! asa! asa! asa!"

as the fight continued on we were winning. slowly but surely we pushed them back, farther and farther. i was surprised they hadn't retreated yet. i'm so proud of my soldiers.

i was farther east and could not see the commotion to the west. all I knew was everyone stopped.

"what's happening? why has the fighting stopped?" i pushed through to find out. as I reached the front I saw it. a spot where alien soldiers were standing had been eaten by plants. i really hope this isn't that asa guy in their legends.

well, seems this battle just got a lot harder. it was that asa guy and sure enough, he's changed everything. our side is beginning to lose as he closes us in plants and traps us to the ground.

I sat in the tavern, bored. I began to grow vines around my glass and bring it to my face. i tapped the table with all four hands.

"hey! cut that out," another tavern go-er yelled at me. i apologized and quickly stopped. i began to play with my hair.

"asa! it's an emergency!" i shot to my feet.

"an emergency? what is it?"

"the cyborgs; they're in trouble,"

"i thought zahra was looking after them." I tightened my kalon arms and clenched my robot paws.

"he has disappeared, they need you. the aliens are going to take over," i rolled my eyes. of course zahra disappeared. he can't even take care of a pet rock.

"i'm on my way," I ran out the door and immediately took flight. it wasn't long before I found the battle. i decided to cover a bunch of aliens in vines and I used them to disguise. I heard everything outside stop and I looked all the aliens in the eyes.

"i'll spare you few," i shot up out of the vines and plants and hovered high above the battlefield. The cyborgs began to cheer and I just winked and flew over the aliens and began to attack.

hero's perspective;
i trapped many aliens in vines, holding them to the ground. i walked up to one.

"well look at you little lady. you look strong but it seems some plants are holding you down," i gave her a sort of wicked smile.

"who are you anyways cyborg freak!" she screamed and tried to lash out at me.

"psh, you're no fun to torment," i created a chair out of the grass and leaned back. all of the aliens glared nasty looks at me.

"you know, you don't behave and i have the power to send you off to some remote island where you stuggle to survive," i picked up a stick and brought out my knife. i began to shave bits off until it was a point and I brought it over to one, threatening him with it.

"you literally have a knife in your pocket," he rolled his eyes. i rolled mine right back and flung him into the air like a catapult. i turned to the rest of them.

"anyone plan on crossing me?" i crossed my top arms and put the other two on my hips. everyone was wide-eyed and slowly shook their heads.
suddenly, a female cyborg walked in.

"hello asa! you look quite nice!" her kalon part of her face turned red and she turned away.

"well you're lucky beauty can't kill," i replied, she turned back to me with a smile, "well th-"

"you'd be dead," she froze. i gave her a little wink. she threw her arms on her hips and stormed up to me.

"who do you think you are? some kind of royalty?" she got right up in my face.

"no, i don't," i used plants to push her back, "i've just got powers and an ego," i shrugged.

"psh. anyways i'm here to check up on these aliens," she looked around and did a quick count, "wasn't there eight in here before?"

"oh, about that. there was, but he kind of made me real mad so i flung him out like a catapult," i span my sharpened stick in my fingers.

"asa! we are taking hostages!" she gave me a death-glare.

"well, you don't have to worry about these ones acting up. i'd do the same to them," i gestured around to the seven in here.

"you know asa, you're a piece of work."

"thanks, you are too."
she punched me.

hero's perspective;
"245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 250, 251- wasn't there 257 earlier? did we miscount?" the cyborg commander looked around. the cyborg lady who i had talked to glared at me.

"nope! that would be asa," she gestured to me, "he flung a bunch off like catapults,"

"can't blame me! they got on my nerves," i shrugged.

"you know what, fiona, it's fine. it's only six," he patted her on the back. i stifled a laugh.

"what's so funny?" fiona threw her hands on her hips again.

"oh, its just that where i live theres this one play that goes on where this ogre marries a princess who turns out to also be an ogre and her name is fiona," i began to laugh, "i thought you looked familiar,"

she lunged at me and i just flew up. oh boy was she mad.

"commander! do something!" she pointed at me.

"fiona, i can't do anything about him. he's got a higher status than i do," he looked at me and just shrugged, "it seems the only thing he's harming is your ego," this time, she lunged at him. i quickly wrapped her ankles in grass.

"and he has a higher status than you missy," I stuck my tongue out at her. she was furious now.

"i can't believe you are both mocking me like this! this is so disrespectful! i'm going to report both of you-"

"listen miss ogre, no need to report anyone. you can't report me anyways," i glanced at her. she was lying on her stomach with steam practically coming out her ears. i let her ankles loose.

"you lunge again and i'm wrapping you right up," i lowered down. she just lied there before slowly pushing herself up.

"i refuse to ride near him commander," she looked the commander in the eye.

"i'll try and keep him in the men's bay-"

"i am not going with you guys," i laughed.

"what do you mean? you have to," the commander was even puzzled.

"i'm going to fly behind you guys. don't want missy here getting on my nerves," i gestured at fiona, who just curled her lips in and took a deep breath.

"alright, meet you at the cyborg base," the commander gave me a quick salute before escorting everyone onto their ship.
