Sidestep

# Sidestep (By Flamiez :D)

## Backstory

Sidestep is a Worker Drone who lost their left arm to the hands of Serial Designation Wild Draw 4 (SD-WD4). They heavily resent WD4 for this and has been plotting revenge ever since, but has no means of actually following through. They are heavily traumatized and have brushed death many times. They're driven by the desire to just live a fulfilled life, and act out of anger when this is threatened.

Though Sidestep now has a replacement for their left arm, that being the arm of a Disassembly Drone. They store a gun they aren't adept with using and their machete here.

## Abilities or Means of Offense/Defense

### Exploitive

Sidestep is very adept in using the environment around him and can exploit details and weaknesses to win fights including physical and mental weakness. He is very good with spotting a weakness and as said prior, will exploit it into the ground.

### Skill

Sidestep has acquired experience in combat and has heightened reflex because of it. As such, Sidestep has gotten better about dodging attacks he's seen before or not leaving himself vulnerable.

### Common Attacks

Sidestep uses these move combinations frequently

#### Blind

Sidestep uses snow, crushed rock, sand, or even their own oil to splash or throw into an opponents eyes in an attempt to blind them

#### Oil spill

When Sidestep is bleeding, they will intentionally spill their oil around areas someone may be pursuing them within in order to trip them.

Sidestep also uses this move to splash the oil on something they want to set fire to.

#### Fire Refraction

Sidestep breaks their eye screen protector made of glass to grab a shard to reflect the sun with, they may also just set fire another way if they are able to.

**this move leaves Sidesteps eyes vulnerable and is used as a last resort.**

#### "I'm going down with you!"

Sidesteps oil is composed of a dangerous cocktail that reacts with the natural heat of a disassembly drone to catch flame. The cocktail takes a minute to catch flame but accelerates if it gets exposed to outside elements **after** entering a DD's body.

## Relations

Sidestep has made many allies … and even more enemies to name a few:

### (Ally) F-X4

#### "Helped me out a few times, especially with X. Basically the one thing keeping both of us from having a long, drawn out battle, of which I'll lose." -Sidesteps views on F-X4

Sidestep has better relations compared to X with F-X4, who stands as a wall between Sidesteps and X's hatred for each other and tones it down to a passive-aggressive hatred as stated above.

### (Neutral) X

#### "THIS FUCKER DECAPITATED ME! Can you imagine getting your head sliced off? BECAUSE I FUCKING HAD IT HAPPEN TO ME!" -Sidesteps views on X (Can be seen on X's page.)

Sidestep hasn't had the greatest of times with X, and sees him as no more than just another disassembly drone. Sidestep doesn't trust X at all and has a few notes on him in the event he attacks Sidestep. Despite this, Sidestep isn't immediately hostile on sight of X and is instead more passive aggressive, making rude remarks.

### (Neutral) Walter and Any Waltronium Drone

#### "God. They once threatened to tear me apart atom by atom. That was fun. I don't know about any of those others though." -Sidesteps views on Walter and the Waltronium Drones.

Sidestep doesn't to say have much in regards to Walter as Sidestep has not formally met Walter or any of the Waltronium Drones. The only Waltronium Drone Sidestep has even seen was SD-W.

### (Neutral) VNM-17

#### "We've met, I know em, but I don't think we've done anything." -Sidesteps views on VNM-17

Sidestep hasn't had anything notable occur between himself and VNM-17, but he has met him at least.

### (Bad Terms) G

#### "Just know this, I intend to just live. When you threaten that goal, I will act to defend it. Even if I need to kill, or show a murder-hating girlfriend how bad you really are. Point is, remain on my good side, m-kay?" - Sidestep talking to G, here.

Sidestep and G view each other as nuisances, and in Sidesteps eyes, just another disassembly drone they need to deal with. Sidestep doesn't hate G so much as what he hates what G does, as he is, again, a disassembly drone. Though Sidesteps thoughts of G have soured after a few attempts to claim Sidesteps life.

Sidesteps leverage on G would be G's relationship with F-X4. Sidestep knows F-X4 despises anything that has something do with murder, and Sidestep makes sure F-X4 is in the area when near G.

### (Despised Enemy) WD4

#### "I lived like most drones, a regular life in a bunker. It was solitary and boring, but stable. Until that damned drone blew the entrance wide open and rushed inside. He proceeded to tether me to a support beam and injected a virus, giving me a hacksaw and leaving the bit of software needed to stop the virus in front of me. But he wasn't done there, he wanted me to also eat the mutilated corpses of some other Worker Drones. Another drone distracted him long enough for me to only cut my arm off and flee." - Sidestep explaining why he hates WD4 here

Sidesteps despised enemy is without a doubt, WD4. WD4 is the entire reason Sidestep was forced out of their stable life. WD4 is also the first MD Sidestep has interacted with and thus the trigger for Sidesteps extreme hatred for most disassembly drones. Sidestep can recount the tale over and over again in vivid detail of why he hates WD4 so much. Ultimately, Sidestep wishes to gain power to put a stop to disassembly drones like WD4.

TL;DR: Sidestep hates WD4.

## Weaknesses

1. Sidestep is a worker drone, and is frail because of it. This also means he lacks means of mobility like wings.
