Black Hiver (Brit'N'Game Jamie)

The Black Hiver is a boss character in Arcade Mode in The Fighting Game of Everything.
==Bio==
Christmas was approaching. In the land of YouTube Poop, Jack Skellington was distraught at being denied a Halloween special. In retaliation, he summoned and struck a deal with the Black Hiver, a Bugs Bunny-like demon, to take over Christmas. Unfortunately, the Black Hiver had his own plans to take over Halloween, and it wasn’t until he had brought an onslaught onto a group of heroes celebrating Christmas and gone back on his deal that Jack finally realized the monster he had unleashed. His summoning was hastily undone and he was destroyed, saving both holidays once and for all… until the book was discovered by “Big” Jack Horner, who recited the dreaded ritual which once again brought him back to physicality, in the hope to obtain all the magic in the world. Now the Black Hiver is back in full force - and he’s not limiting himself to the land of YouTube Poop anymore.
==Specials==
===Eye Beams===
The Black Hiver’s irises glow a sickly red, and he blasts giant lasers, leaving a noticeable burn mark. The damage output of this attack can be devastating, especially if the blast collides head-on with the player (more than a quarter of the player’s health). The build-up time varies from less than a second to 3. The player cannot block the direct blast, meaning they must escape the radius before it hits.
===My Little Minions===
The Black Hiver summons one or a few of his minions onto the stage, giving the player character something more to worry about while fighting him. Once the minion(s) are destroyed, the Black Hiver cannot use them again in the fight (except the Ginger-Dead Men). The minions he can summon are…
====Ginger-Dead Men====
An army of undead gingerbread men start to approach you, their torsos chomping away. Up to 5 can be summoned onto the stage at a time. They are more cannon fodder than anything, as they are not very fast, are fragile enough to go down in 1 hit, and can even be destroyed by ill-placed attacks from the Hiver himself, but they are very distracting. They are also the only minions immune to the penalty of only being summoned once in the fight.
====Mann Machines====
Robotized versions of The Scout and The Soldier from Team Fortress 2, who play much like their original counterparts, rush onto the stage. Scoutbot has below-average health, but is fast and packs a punch with his scattergun and bat. Soldierbot has higher health in comparison and can lay down the punishment with his rocket launcher and pickaxe, but is considerably slower.
*As a reward for destroying Scoutbot, the player will receive and drink a can of pink soda, giving them a short boost in strength, speed and health.
====My Edgy Pony====
An ax-crazy minion resembling Fluttershy from My Little Pony, made entirely of ice with chainsaws for arms, appears in the middle of the stage. She has high health and attack stats, and if she slices the player character with her chainsaw arms, they will be left with a bleeding effect if they don’t block. However, she is fortunately very slow and has no ranged options to speak of.
====Nutcracker====
Only summoned during the final phase. A giant sentient nutcracker stomps onto the stage. It has the highest health of all of Hiver’s minions, and despite being burdened with slow speed, it has the ability to fire giant coal lumps from the candy-cane cannon on its head, which can be fired in different directions at different speeds, making it a major hurdle for the player to overcome in the final phase.
===In My Grip===
The Black Hiver makes a grab for the opponent, and if successful, squeezes them tight to durian some of their health. He chuckles before discarding the opponent to the edge of the stage.
==X-Factors==
===Like Fire, Hellfire===
The Black Hiver’s front teeth rise up and he breathes a stream of fire downwards through his open mouth, covering the whole stage. The stream lasts a few seconds, and the part of the stage it hit specifically will be left on fire for 8 seconds. If it connects with the player character, they will suffer multi-hitting damage and be left with a burning effect that mildly chips away at their health. The burning effect can be removed if the player quickly runs left and right repeatedly for a few seconds. In the first 2 phases, the player will know this attack is coming if part of the stage below them glows orange.
===Steal Your Soul===
Only used in the final phase. The Black Hiver makes a move to grab the opponent. If he succeeds, he lifts them up to eye level, and his eyes lock onto the opponent’s, spiraling. The opponent screams in agony as their body goes numb and their soul is ripped from their body. Now in possession of their vulnerable soul, the Hiver discards the opponent’s course and locks the soul in his cage, chuckling evilly. This is a One-Hit KO.
==Phases==
There are 3 phases. Each phase covers one of the Hiver’s body portions. He can use his specials and first X-Factor all throughout the boss.
===First Phase===
The first phase of this boss covers the Black Hiver’s bottom section. His spider-like legs will occasionally try to stomp on you, and he will make the effort to crush you with his fingers every once in a while. Throughout this phase, we are treated to the spirits floating inside of the Hiver’s cage - including the player fighter’s previous opponents and rival. Many of them react to their fate with fear or despair.
After the player has cleared this phase, the Hiver staggers backwards and covers his face with his hand as he recovers from the damage he took. The camera cuts to the cage in the Hiver’s chest which breaks open, allowing the spirits of his victims to escape. One spirit leads the player to a staircase, and they quickly book it up to the next phase.
===Second Phase===
After clearing the stairs, the player fighter is now on a platform, leveled with the Hiver’s torso. The Hiver will occasionally move to a different part of the stage to escape being attacked by the opponent, and rather than just his fingers, he uses his whole fists to try and crush the opponent for damage.
After the Hiver is damaged enough, he staggers backwards again and goes numb. The spirits return and circle the fighter, being able to lift them up to the last platform where the ritual is floating over. Before they reach the top, though, the Hiver’s Nutcracker minion fires a walnut at them, blasting them apart and the fighter airbourne. Luckily, the fighter grabs the ledge of the platform with one hand, and heaves themself up. They look at the Hiver’s seemingly dead body… only for him to regain composure. Having lost any patience he had, he roars and returns to trying to defeat the fighter.
===Final Phase===
The attack point for this phase is the Black Hiver’s entire head. His attacks become far more aggressive than they were in the previous phases: he will continuously try to crush the opponent, will summon his remaining minions frantically, and will reach for the player fighter any chance he gets.
After draining all of the Hiver’s health, he staggers back one last time. After the player fighter says their victory quote, though, he attempts to crush the player character where they stand with his fist, but both of his arms are held back by his victims’ spirits, who have returned once again. The Black Hiver screechs and breathes a stream of fire in a last-ditch effort to kill the player character, but it is blocked off by the spirit of the player fighter’s rival.
The player is then given 15 seconds to reach the book Jack used to unleash the Hiver, which is being guarded by the remaining undead gingerbread men they must kill. If they fail, the Black Hiver’s fire overpowers the rival’s spirit and successfully burns the player fighter alive, resulting in a game over. If they succeed in reaching the book, the player character will recite the ritual that unleashed the Hiver.
The Hiver freezes in place, and he begins to combust in a series of explosions. His body parts start to explode one by one, beginning with his legs, followed by his arms, and finally his torso. His only remaining body part is his now-lifeless head, which then falls out of view. The camera cuts to his ritual symbol in the sky dissipating while the camera fades to white, cueing the result screen.
==Tips==
*When the Black Hiver summons a minion, the player would be advised to defeat them immediately (especially the Nutcracker) before focusing on the Hiver again. This is because sans the Gingerdead Men, all minions are only summoned once in the fight. In addition, they may home in on the fighter, preventing them from going for the Hiver.
*When Scoutbot and Soldierbot are summoned, the player would need to aim to defeat Scoutbot first, due to his lower health and the power-up he leaves behind. Upon using the soda, they should take out Soldierbot faster so they can focus on Hiver again.
*For the Fluttershy-like minion, the player could defeat her quicker and easier by using a Ranger-type fighter, due to her complete lack of range, or a fast fighter due to her slow speed. That being said, fighters with a different playstyle but still some ranged attacks still will have less of a problem with her.
==Animations==
===Entrance===
The fighter looks around at the stage, and turns to see what appears to be a fireplace with a cage. However, 4 mechanical spider-like legs emerge from it as lightning begins the strike, startling them. Two grisly arms rise from the top of the cage, followed by a full torso with an orange Illuminati-like symbol. Lastly, the terrifying creature’s rabbit-like head comes to fruition. He smiles down at the fighter menacingly, before breathing fire at the air as captions read BLACK HIVER, SADISTIC HOLIDAY DEMON.
===Stance===
Phase 1: The Hiver’s legs bend as the spirits are shown in the cage, either terrified or dejected by their fate.Phase 2: The Hiver’s arms and clenched fists wave up and down slowly, as his orange symbol glows.Phase 3: The Hiver’s full head covers the screen, his eyes following the fighter’s moves.
===Victory===
The Hiver looks up to the red sky and chuckles maniacally.
