Ultra Violet

"Well, that's great. You bought a book. Fantastic. Did you break a nail on the way to your extremely difficult adventure?"-Ultra Violet
Ultra Violet or simply Violet is a purple, second-to-last ranked Protector, who is the youngest of the current line-up. He is an an original character created by BabyLuigiOnFire, and like all diminutives, he is small and designed after Baby Luigi. While he has adept survival skills and he is a potent medic, he is ranked lower than Bluminescence solely because of his refusal to listen to authority (despite him respecting his commander, Dark Light's abilities) and his highly sassy personality. He is pessimistic, sarcastic, and very cynical and isn't above tossing the occasional insult to his co-workers. As a Protector, Ultra Violet is often seen managing the reception desk of the Protectors, not too fond of that position, though another job of his is working as a bouncer at the Boom Boom Bar. Ultra Violet was born in Canada, though he emigrated to the United States for most of his life.
Ultra Violet is named after ultraviolet, a short electromagnetic radiation not visible to the eye, known for its ability to cause suntans and sunburns. In addition, it is often pointed out that his short nickname, Violet, is a girl's name, and this is the fastest path to get him annoyed.
==Backstory==
Ultra Violet had been at the brunt of a rather brutal zombie apocalypse, most of the details are kept in ambiguity, which is a strong reason how he acquired his jaded personality and his skills to be able to survive, including weapons knowledge and medical practices. He has referenced his past plenty of times in the roleplay, such as when he is counseling Mija about her traumatic past and is highly sympathetic of her emotions. During one point, when he was in a trance of Aqua Marine's love song in post 15586, he was heard crying rather than falling in love with any individual, suggesting that he lost a loved one due to the zombie apocalypse.
==History==
Ultra Violet first appears in post 1120, alongside Redshift (as Purple Baby Luigi and Red Baby Luigi respectively) where he was doodling something because he was bored. He was kidnapped by a Terminator robot, who drags him into the Mushroom City Car Wash. He was then rescued, and he was then offered a pill, to which Ultra Violet refused to take it since that would mean he is taking drugs without doctor supervision. The pill was then forced down his throat, causing him to fall madly in love with Flora. He was then cured with another pill, to which he then refuses to take any more pills, which he already had. He was then giving an autograph to a race winner and received a guitar as a present, to which Ultra Violet pretends to hate the gift and pretends to find something to criticize about.
Eventually, Ray Trace shows up at the car wash being mind-controlled by Nastasia. However, Ultra Violet was not fooled by Ray Trace and thus, promptly ties Ray Trace up and shoves him in a closet. He joins in the fight against Nastasia and Dimentio's minions, though he ends up getting hypnotized himself as "!!!" (similar to how Ray Trace was called "???") which causes him to get bound up in a bathroom.
===The Trial of Flora===
Ultra Violet does not appear until the Trial of Flora in post 2551 where he hears of the news of Officer Baby Luigi's supposed passing. When Officer Baby Luigi was resurrected as Dark Light and identifies as female, Ultra Violet made fun of it, but he was quickly smacked and put down by Dark Light, to the support of every other member of the group.
===Vacation at Moonlight Midnight Forest Reserve===
Ultra Violet is the only Protector not present when Dark Light announced her vacation at the Moonlit Midnight Forest Reserve, much to Dark Light's annoyance and thought he was absent on purpose. This was because he was busy working as a bouncer at the Boom Boom Bar, though he eventually finds himself embroiled in another arc.
===Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time===
While Ultra Violet was returning after his shift at the Boom Boom Bar, he checks out the Mushroom City Car Wash to see if Officer Dark Light happened to be there detaining criminals. While the car wash looked mostly normal, he caught the attention of a time portal in the bathroom, and right when he was about to leave it, a Shroob attacked him, which caused him and the Shroob to fall into the time portal.
Ultra Violet ends up in the Star Hill in the past, where he was anxious about not returning to the Protector Base in time. He was assisted by a person named Main Yoshi, with Baby Yoshis. He had to think about not upsetting them, as he known that Yoshis were known for their appetite and could eat him up if they got angry at him, even though a crying Blue Baby Yoshi grinded at his patience to stay polite. Main Yoshi directed him to the Star Shrine to return to his present time period, to which Ultra Violet made a difficult trek there, as he was attacked by monsters of all sorts, including Love Bubbles, Handfakes, Fly Guys, and many more enemies.
When Ultra Violet saw the Cobalt Star spirit at the shrine, he stated that he didn't trust it since he hated the way it looked at it. This is an allusion to how Baby Luigi cried at the Cobalt Star spirit in the official game.
The Star Gate let Ultra Violet through when he arrived, even though Ultra Violet was perplexed, since his history was littered with unsavory moments such as having a night where he was completely drunk or brawling people as a bouncer at a nightclub or attending a wedding gone wrong. And when he saw the Elder Shrooboid, he pointed out how it's "stupid" that characters take their turns attacking, jabbing at the turn-based RPG nature of the official game. After battling the Elder Shrooboid, he passed by two purple mushrooms, unknowing that it is a rescue team of his co-workers, namely Ray Trace and Kontrast.
As Ultra Violet made it back to the present, he is found by Dark Light, much to his dismay. While Dark Light asked what happened to him, Ultra Violet was too tired to explain why he was very late and waited until after he was fixed up and rested to tell her the story. He was then tightly embraced by Bluminescence when he arrived back to the base, much to his annoyance.
===A Ghostly Race (tentative name for the arc)===
Bluminescence, Ultra Violet, and Kontrast pull into the car wash in post 4177 with Kontrast's dirty car, which was ordered to be clean. Ultra Violet was extremely condescending to the state of Kontrast's car, as he did not want to be there; he was there because Kontrast was unreliable and forgetful and was prone to messing simple tasks up.
===Paper Mario===
Ray Trace brings a book into the car wash while he and Bluminescence were preparing for a race, which promptly sucked the five Protectors into the Paper Mario world. Ultra Violet ended up in Lavalava Island, where he was housed and taken care of by a family of Purple Yoshis.
==General information==
===Physical description===
Ultra Violet is a rather average-shaped diminutive, in that he is small, has a large nose, and is adorned with Protector gear, including the makeshift golden wings, cape, hat adornments, and bracelets that house energy blades, though it is noted that his cape is pointier and his energy blades are more curved than the other Protectors. He is mostly distinguished by his lavender and purple coloration, his black hair, and his thin eyes, completed with horizontal, thin lines for eyebrows which give him a constantly scowling look.
Ultra Violet's voice is best described by Hugh Dillon's voice, Nick's voice actor from Left 4 Dead 2. Although he is considered an American, his accent suggests he may come from Canada, in the East US. In fact, Ultra Violet's design is a direct inspiration from Nick's design, having a similar suit, shirt, shoes, and even little rings on his hands, as well as his zombie apocalypse backstory.
===Personality===
Ultra Violet is highly cynical and jaded, and he immediately mistrusts strangers he meets. He finds it awkward to socialize, as he is a lone wolf and prefers to perform actions on his own. Despite this, he is willing to help others with their conditions, as he is still somewhat altruistic and deep down inside, still has a heart of gold, even if he is used to seeing others suffer. Because he cannot socialize well, he is often rude and condescending, and he enjoys putting down others, especially Kontrast and Redshift. In addition, his emotions are mostly suppressed; it is rare to see him hugely shocked, happy (he rarely smiles, and when he does, it's often a smug smirk rather than a genuine one), or sad at any confrontation, though he still gets annoyed very easily.
Ultra Violet is happiest by himself, and his hobbies including reading and singing. He was part of a band once, where he was the lead singer, and his band played rock music. While hard rock is his favorite genre, Ultra Violet has a deep appreciation of any music, and he enjoys practicing his instruments while he is alone, which include a guitar, though he would love to own more instruments. Despite his singing talents, he does not like being seen or heard singing, due to fear of embarrassment.
===Powers and abilities===
Being a Protector, Ultra Violet has enhanced combat abilities which enable him to Protect others weaker than him. Since he had survived a zombie apocalypse, he has street smarts and often relies on his common sense and wits to get him out of tough scenarios. Ultra Violet's strengths lie in his ability to quickly deliver a deadly dose of poison in his energy blades, which is a reference to the Toxic Crystal the Protector's swords are based from.
Also due to his time and experience spent in the zombie apocalypse, he's an adept medic and is able examine and heal most wounds. His room consists mostly of strange and bizarre concoctions, where he often experiments and manipulates poison and toxins to effects, and he is rarely seen without his first-aid kit. One of his most successful concoctions is the ability to heal from poison rather than hurt from it, courtesy of his ability to transfer the effects of toxins to medicine that heals. He is still experimenting to find out more ways he can enhance and benefit the effects of poison, such as turning poison into a performance enhancer.
When he touches a power crystal, he comes Venomous Pathogen Ultra Violet. He becomes a hybrid of an insect and an arachnid, particularly a scorpion, in which he dons antennas, barbed blades, guns to shoot poison darts with, a more lethal poison, and a giant stinger-like tail for him to inject poison or healing substances with. He can additionally climb up walls thanks to his insect-like abilities. His main specialty is creating a specific type of gel that grants his allies poison healing attributes on the fly, which is far more potent than the concoction he makes in his normal form.
===Relationships with other characters===
Ultra Violet does respect and trust other members of his group in his way, though he prefers not to be seen with them. He enjoys poking fun at Kontrast the most, as Kontrast is extremely easy to vex and annoy, though he isn't above deriding Redshift's Spanish nationality, such as suggesting Redshift to mash his head in paella. He does not like Ray Trace's huge ego and stupidity either, while Bluminescence is far too positive, naive, and bright for his tastes. The only character he fully respects in the group is his commander, Dark Light, and thus the only member he fully cooperates with, to which Redshift does not appreciate his back-talking and refusal to cooperate with him.
Ultra Violet thinks Chroma Key is just as stupid, if not more so, than Ray Trace and has very little respect for him, and does not like him acting impulsively and disobeying his Commander's orders. However, he does not have a personal negative encounter with Chroma Key. Yet. Despite this, when Chroma Key was injured in a fight against the Marines, he injected his tail into Chroma Key and lent his blood and superpowers into him.
Ultra Violet deeply cares about Aqua Marine, as he was the one who rescued her from the storm. He often drops by Chroma Key's house to check up on her.
Ultra Violet is highly sympathetic to Mija and cares about her well-being, as she had been in a rough situation before, just like he has. He had insisted on fixing her up a bit before she goes out and about.
Ultra Violet despises White Lightning's characters (Flora, White Lightning, etc.) since they always drag him and the other Protectors in their messes and would prefer to have nothing to do with them. When they were exiled forever, Ultra Violet thinks that serves them right.
==Quote==
*"I'm sorry but we don't serve unmanned, large robots like you."
*""Power of Friendship"? What is this, My Little Pony? Am I being high right now?"
*"My that is beautiful music....aaaaahhh play more of it."
*"If I recall correctly, Flora was the crackhead who built an army of goddang Terminator bots to take over another planet-"peacefully" I assume-and sent one Terminator bots to our base and kidnapped ME. Yeah those pills are poison, dude. Don't take them."
*"Ya know, I don't quite buy what you said for one second. Why is she associating herself with robots called "Terminators", named after clear movie villains? She clearly wants to destroy things, and she sounds really stupid. Evil doesn't come in one flavor, it comes in many, and it ain't as clear cut black and white like that. What she's doing, sounds like propaganda to me."
*"WhaddYA gonna do about it? Go mash your head into paella while I get the best girlfriend on the planet!"
*"And, you can call me simply "Purple". It's not a very fancy name, I know. But that's how people call me. I do fancy a better name though but eh."
*"Pfft, really? People don't enter these races just for the thrill of it, Blue. You need to stop being so naive."
*"Great. I can't wait for both of you to get abducted by ghosts. Can't you see what happened to Mario and that one time Dark Light got a call there?"
*"Oh. Well, you have to supply yourselves with fun. I ain't exactly the most fun Protector out there."
