"Stripped of my birthright's they cast me into shadows, and from the fangs that bit me, i ripped forth from them, the savage fury to survive!"
Theme Song
Origin
Born in the cramped corridors of an iron mine, Gilgamesh was a bright eyed young baby boy, a fair skinned child with golden hair, born a of godly status yet abandoned by his parents, it was heresy, to think that such a beautiful child would be found amongst the mine trash and gutter filth. The High Council wouldn't stand for it, he was placed in the care of slavers, who sold him off to the slave ports of Ur.
There Gilgamesh was raised by the law of survival of the fittest, Social Darwinism at its best, the strong pray on the weak, and the sick fester and die, a perfectly rotten blister upon the face of the planet. A place full of criminals of every sort, and all the corrupt slave lords to rule over them. Gilgamesh the beautiful golden haired sprite, amongst a sea of filthy slaves and thieves, oh..how they loved to beat him down and burn him...using him as little more then a dog for their entertainment, pitting him in sport after bloody sport, many of which he barely escaped with his life. For in the Pits of Ur, only the strong survived, and even then there was little mead or gruel to fill a hollow, wanting belly.
The Pits, a place where the old and sick where sent to die for the amusement of the strong, where children fought monsters, and men murdered each other in cold blood for the thrill of the crowd.
This was the early life of Gilgamesh, a son of peasants, a puppet of slavers, would it strike you for odd, knowing that this young boy killed his first man at the age of 3, and many more followed with the passage of years, for in The Pits, it was life or death. In this cruel environment, Gilgamesh was raised, quietly honing his skills in the gutters at night clinging to the bitter hope of living another day in a cruel and unforgiving world. A world without light, and certainly a world without justice. It wasn't long before the darkness of the world had left a permanent scar on his mind, and it was from that darkness that bore his righteous fury.
Taking up his blades he slew foe after foe, for in this place all where scum, and it was his just duty to rid the planet of such filth, man after man he slaughtered for the slavers amusement, before finally none were left to kill, and then he turned his wrath towards those corrupt fools who would think they could contain him, who thought they could control the monster they had created. It was there in that fury that he found it, deep within the copper mines, on the body of a dying old man with a light in his eyes, that gave him the single spark of hope he needed to save him from a bitter fate,nestled in a small glass ball, The Star Core.
Within the metal confines of his armor, lies a microscopic hole in the fabric of space/time within it lies a pocket dimension, of near infinite proportions and just within the frames of the portal lies The Star Core, a sun very similar in color and size to our own.
Within the frame of this gateway to another realm accessible only by the ancient technologies of the core, lies the Core Converter, an ancient and powerful technology that siphons the energy of The Star Core and converts and delivers the energy to Rust's body and weapons. In truth it is unknown whether the star cores nature is magical or scientific, perhaps bordering the in between of the two, evidence seems to suggest that the star core predates creation itself and as such is unbound by its laws and principles. Due to the star core existing outside the parameters of our reality, it cannot be tapped into or controlled by any means born of our existence or reality. It is completely self contained and controlled and the metaphorical gate in which it converts power is only a means of describing the transfer of energy as no such physical gate exists for outside forces to access or draw upon. As the universe inside the star core is infinite and ever expanding and has existed since before our creation, it is infinitely larger both physically and as a source of power than anything within our own.
The Rebellion
With his new found powers drawn from The Star Core, Gilgamesh took it upon himself to pluck the weeds of corruption from Ur, slaying slaver after slaver till none lived within the confines of the city any longer, however his drive to destroy the sickness and plague of humanity upon the city did not stop there, slaying those he condemned as beyond saving and stealing from those wealthy fools he believed strong enough to overcome their own darkness he slowly grew a following of chivalrous thieves and justice bound assassins.
His simple quest for justice inspiring a revolution that overthrew the corrupt monarchy and slew the councilors that tore him from his childhood and human rights. The Pauper King they called him, however such a title was beyond his desire, although greed was ever upon his mind, the potential corruption of lording over others was a temptation he could never allow himself to give into, and so he vanished from the city.
The Founding of Uruk
After leaving Ur, Gilgamesh traveled the vast landscape of Sumerian Mesopotamia, eeventually finding a nice plot of land. There he toiled day and night to construct a mighty wall encircling 6 kilometers squared of land. It was with this feat that mighty Gilgamesh founded the city of Uruk. From on far all throughout Sumeria, the people flocked to take part in this vastly growing city, of who's ample protection, and hospitable land welcomed and gave comfort to those that would toil it. Of those that came, all gave homage to the mighty Gilgamesh. They proclaimed him there king, for he was the mightiest of all men, and none where his better.
The Fall of Sumeria
It was this hubris that befell him, for he believed himself deserving of anything and everything, and did as he wished. His vanity however put an end to him. For he trifled with magics far greater then he could hope to control, tormenting and aggravating one of those mischievous, sacred, and terrifying of beings. The Djiin. In his hubris, he challenged one such being to a contest of wit and lost. The price of this was far greater than anything poor Gilgamesh could have afforded.
The Djiin locked him in time, freezing him on the spot, forced to watch as his great empire fell to those of Babel, The Babylonians, and yet his curse did not end there, for in witnessing this a hatred festered inside him. A hatred nearly older then man itself. The Hatred of Cain. An all consuming jealousy, and rage that once forced Cain to slay his brother Able in the days of old. The birth hatred of the first murder ever to be committed. This was the true curse that the Djiin had placed upon him, its mark a burning red hexagonal star upon his forehead.
The Tower of Babel
As the hatred consumed his mind he looked upon the tower in all its glory, the pinnacle of human achievement, the pinnacle of Babylonian civilization. Breaking free of his timely shackles he set out towards the city, drawing upon the vast untapped energies of the star core, he ruthlessly butchered every living soul in Babel, women and children alike, all were burned in the fiery blaze of his hatred and the Babylonian empire burned with their precious tower, wiped clean from the very face of existence almost as if it had never been. It was then that final curse was placed upon him. A gift, but one whose burden far exceeded the power granted. Solomon's Wisdom. For you see, the final curse was the counter to that burning hatred for mankind that had consumed him, it was the gift of understanding and with it came the full gravity of the atrocity he had committed. Unable to live with himself and unable to end his life Gilgamesh wandered the deserts for eons before finally coming to terms with his inner demons.
The Knights of Light
Over his near eternal life span, Rust has donned many persona and alter egos, In the dawn of the lights of the new Millenium City, He took on the guise of the Qliphothic lord of electricity, EnergyStorm, and Founded a democratic empire for all to enjoy peacefully.
This coalition of paladins, heroes, knights and sorcerers, deemed a temple of righteous justice, was The Knights of Light, an organization unprecedented by most before it, spanning near limitless members and an organizational structure like a small country, with the 10 council leaders at its head, this group organized events for the community and orchestrated justice across the vast expanses of earth, and even the realms beyond.
In those days Rust aka EnergyStorm, was a naive and idealistic man, who had just begun to accept the light into his hollow withered heart, betrayed by his second command, a small faction within the group turned against him, and rather than crush the mutineers, for he had his time at the throne of the organization he had built, he stepped down so that newer generations could lead. This group later became the Blood Oathed Honor Bound, another heroic organization to last for many years, and still exists to some extent today.
Mortis Eternus
Having procured gauntlets of a mystical nature, The Eternal Cuffs, Rust had been granted mystical powers, on a level with that of any other great sorcerer known the world over, Taking forth the mantle of the anti-hero Dr. Eternus, he set forth with darkness in his mind, and hate in his heart, seeking out other such dark minded souls to form a coalition of sinister minds known as Mortis Eternus, this group existed for some time, and not much is truly known about them to this day, as they where shrouded in mystery, it is said however that it was within this group that Rust first encountered the mighty Nepht
Conquer
For a while the infamous bounty hunter vanished from the face of Millenium City, taking his latest persona and all remnants of his past with him, vanishing from the face of time and space, an enigma upon the wind. The cries of the anguished, and the promise of money however, drew this embittered antihero back from the annals of history however. It was then on a mere chance that he encounter Nepht once more, and this time she came with an offer of companionship, to join a group like no other consisting only of the best of the best of the best, though skeptical at first as always, as time had made him bitter and slow to trust, he soon found a purpose and home amongst the group and its members quickly making friends amongst them, between his duties there and the occasional bounty Rust now finds himself at home in Millenium City.
Friends and Allies
- Arona- Perhaps as much a mystery to him as she is to everyone else that she comes across, the stoic, powerful, and beautiful Arona, quickly became a close friend and ally of Rust, Mentoring him in the ways of combat, thus furthering his already impressive combat skills, he came to regard her as a Master of combat and has regarded her with a great deal of respect since.
- Nepht- Second in command of conquer, Old friend and former ally, Second in command of Mortis Eternus, a powerful and respected, albeit bossy, player.
- Straxus- Moderator for the Contest-Central channel and avid costumer, the mighty Straxus is a close ally and friend of Rust, often consulting with him on the topics of costumes.
- Liberty Star- A beautiful and prominent officer of Patriot Act, and a very close personal friend of Rust, one of few who knows him beyond his rough public exterior.
- Battle Bot Punchy- A perverted yet powerful robot that little is known about. P.S. He likes punching things. P.S.S He also likes boobs.
- Rodyle- An often confrontational, if not deeply caring and truly a good person at heart, individual, a good friend, though it wouldn't appear so to any eavesdroppers.
- Super Penguin- He is a penguin, He is also a flying penguin.
- Caliga- Founder and leader of conquer, if you really want to know more visit his page....its literally the first option when you search primus database or Caliga.

- Genesis- The original Ninja, if i say anything else you wont be hearing from me again.
- Mira Kimbal- The beautiful girl in blue, and a close friend and ally of Rust.
Skills and Powers
Super Strength-Due to his altered physical makeup, Rust is capable of lifting roughly 5 tons, and supporting an average of 15 tons,with the star core in effect Rust can lift an average of 20 tons and support an average of 60 tons, at the highest Star Core, effective output, he is capable of lifting and supporting roughly thirty times that.
Super Reflexes- Due to intense combat training and centuries of assassinations and bounty collecting, as well as his mental fortitude, Rust has extreme reflexes to the point that he is capable of dodging bullets with ease and reacting to incoming threats moving at the speed of light, there is nothing that escapes the bounds of his reflexes, and it is this fact that primarily allows him to take down foes that are much more powerful than he is.
Battle Precognition- Because of the effects of the star cores energy surging through his veins and long history of battle, Rust is capable of sensing and accurately predicting his opponents movements in battle.
Mental Fortitude- Rust is immune to all but the most advanced psychic attacks due to intense mental training and his heightened intellect, in battle he is nearly completely immune to such attacks because of his increased state of focus, however he is completely incapable of using such powers himself.
Star Core Technology- Built into his armor this small dwarf star fuels Rust's body, armor, and weapons, giving him all the energy he needs to fuel his combat.
Weapon Mastery- If you can think it up, he can wield it proficiently.
Super Speed- Due to the star core fueling his body, Rust is capable of moving at speeds bordering Mach 2.
Immunity to, Disease, Infection, and Radiation
Super Durability- Due to his physical makeup Rust can withstand forces far greater than the average human male, bordering a level of near invulnerability to metals of lesser density than his physique, amongst other such forces, this applies most strongly to kinetic forces.
Masterful Body Control- Rust is capable of controlling hiss bodies movements to insane degrees, bordering and often far surpassing the abilities of even the greatest Olympic gymnasts and free runners.
Free Combat- To most of you this concept is possibly a bit confusing, due to his training, experience, and physical strength and coordination and allowing for the fact that his focus in combat and battle precognition are exceptional, Rust is capable of fighting while in motion whether jumping from branch to branch or performing intense acrobatic routines midair.
Magic Carpet- Rust has a magical flying carpet that he can travel on.
Master of swords- Rust is a master of every form ever created or conceived and can seamlessly blend the forms as he needs in combat.
Star Burn- Using star energy is second nature to Rust, however the effects of the energy on any being cut with his sword create intense fatigue often bordering physical stress great enough to knock the affected unconscious.
Wisdom of Solomon- It is a power that allows communication with anyone's rukh, or life energy, the energy of all living things, including those contained in the living and those of the dead. It also allows normal people to hear the will of Rukh and is able to see the past, present and future, through the use of Rukh. This power is also able to temporarily summon departed souls back to life as a way to say any last goodbyes. This, however, is very tiring to Rust.
Roar of Destruction- Using a fusion of type 7 strength magic and type 6 sound magic, he strengthens his vocal chords letting out a deafening wave of sound and amplifying the sonic waves gives them a lethal capacity.
Gear
وجميع قطع, The All Severing- A legendary blade forged using the the most precious metals and materials on earth, Little is known about the process used to refine the metals used in its making and even less is known about its composition. What is known is the blades indestructible nature, and its uncanny ability to sever anything it comes in contact with when the star energy is poured through it, save for certain legendary/fabled weapons. This blade is of a magical nature, the spell placed upon it is simple, the sword is indestructible and impervious, the blade has the ability to sever anything it would normally cut, aside from weapons made by equally powerful means. The blade will never move from the axis it is held at, and will negate all incoming forces that impact it preventing them from being applied to the user, the blade cuts without resistance as such it flows through objects as if they were air, or rather as if there was nothing there to resist it at all. The blade can negate only forces that would not normally crush the user, and even those forces if they make contact with the blade, such as applied from another object will be weakened to the point where the wielder will survive the force.
السائل, The Fluid- The name given to the armor worn by Rust, nearly impenetrable, and border line impregnable, it is capable of withstanding forces greater than the pressure at the bottom of the ocean. It is incredibly lightweight allowing for fluid movement in combat.
الخالد, The Immortal- An enchanted suit of armor that makes the user appear soulless, The armor is completely impregnable to all melee attacks although it can be moved and knocked about by great force, it cannot be broken or pierced by attacks of a physical nature, aside from areas where the armor does not cover, however all magical, elemental, or energy based attacks will harm the wearer, the armor makes whoever touches it move extremely slow as if a great weight were placed upon their shoulders. To anyone other than the user it moves as one piece so the armor can not be removed by anyone other than the wearer. As the fable goes, the original wearer was so invincible and treacherous that a skilled assassin poisoned his wine to put an end to him. The joints of the armor are covered in cloth which is also protected under the enchantment, the only openings in the armor are the slots for the eyes and mouth in the mask.
Weaknesses
Energy Burn- The longer the Star Core is in effect the greater the cost its energy has on his atomic structure eventually causing it the breakdown. At low level outputs the star core has limited immediate effects and only deals great damage if used for extensive periods of time, a High level output can be fatal within hours of using it.
Magic- being a human born of the same principles of science as any other he boasts limited if any resistance to attacks of a magical nature.
Meltdown- If used for too long, the Star Cores density slowly transfers to his body making him immobile and potentially crushing wherever he stands, this includes planets.
Mortality- Once dead he stays dead, and he can be killed, don't worry though, his nearly immortal lifespan will see to the demise of many, many more super villains and other nefarious figures before that ever happens.
Greed- Rust is driven by a sense of justice only trumped by his lust for money, because of this Rust is corruptable and is capable of often making poor decisions when monetary gain comes into effect.
Hatred of Cain- Being an ancient human soul, Rust is not beyond the temptations and feelings of other humans, the most potent of these manifest within him and consume him, clouding his mind with intense rage and hatred for his fellow man.
The Final Trump Card
Planar Atrophy- Activating the overdrive feature on the Star Core Converter, Rust is capable of ascending to a state of omnipotence for a brief moment, capable of doing relatively anything and everything at a single thought, at the cost of his own life, and tearing a permanent veil in the fabric of space time between the pocket dimension and our own.
Enemies
Bounty Hunters- Nothing is more alluring than the price of a bounty, and nothing more tasty to a bounty hunter than the thrill of the hunt, the larger the prey, the bigger the thrill, and for an infamous bounty hunter, there is always the promise of a bounty to be placed on your own head at one point or another.
Valcar The Bronze- A nefarious and clever super villain, and an intergalactic crime lord, he rules over the Bronze Syndicate, a group of organized smugglers, slavers, and assassins.
General Perception
An infamous bounty hunter and assassin, Rust has made a large impact on the galaxy and even the universe as a whole, assassinating more crime lords and slave traders than any other, criminals fear his name, often whispered in the cold dead of night, and mothers tell their children tales to scare them into obedience. To the public little is known of his identity save the rusted tint of his armor, what is known is mostly rumor, and of those who have seen him, few have lived to tell, and of those who have, he has been described as a man of few words.
"رعد الأرض مع كل خطوة كان يخطوها، حذائه مدرعة تكسير الأرض، أرسلنا الآلاف، الحراس والجنود. أرسلوا رجل واحد. لا شيء من شعاعها من تحت الدروع، والظلام فقط، وسواد محبر من الفراغ. هاجمنا في الأرقام، ونقلوا ميتا على الأرض في ثوان، وكأن كل وحدة حيث ضربت صاعقة المتزايد عليها من شفرة له، ألف رجل مثل الخراف للذبح ". Eyewitness account of the sacking of Samarkand.
"The ground thundered with each step he took, his armored boots cracking the earth, we sent thousands, guards, soldiers. They sent one man. No bit of flesh exposed from beneath the armor, only darkness, the inky blackness of the void. We attacked in numbers, and were brought dead upon the ground in seconds, as if each unit where struck by lightning surging forth from his blade, a thousand men like sheep to the slaughter." Translated to english.
