Rook Blonko (Dimension 23) (Ben 23: OV)

## Personality

Unlike Ben 23, Rook is more stoic and prefers to think before acting.

Rook still has difficulty understanding Ben 23's Earth expressions.

## Powers and Abilties

Rook is a highly skilled combatant, both from his Plumber training and the tutelage of his Revonnah Kai teacher, Kundo. In addition to being Kundo's top student, Rook has since supplemented this fighting style with other techniques and tactics from his various missions as a Plumber, ultimately being able to best his teacher in fair combat.

Rook has enhanced strength, as he was able to lift and throw a Panuncian by just holding its tail, defeat Sir Morton, and is strong enough to fight multiple opponents at once, such as when he fought the Kraaho, all these have been demonstrated by his Prime Timeline counterpart.

Rook can jump several stories high. Rook has also been shown to be very nimble and has impressive acrobatic skills. He also possesses enhanced reflexes.

Rook is a master in terms of strategy and battle tactics. He also provides an amount of common sense to offset Ben's impulsiveness and lack of subtlety. Rook's encyclopedic knowledge of certain Earth trivia has proven to be useful at times. He also can understand Sotoraggian language. Rook shows very impressive soccer skills, having learned the game at the Plumber Academy.

Rook is quite proficient in the usage of technology and machinery having shown a remarkable skill for creating electronic jamming devices when he fashioned an electron entanglement disruptor to escape an electromagnetic barrier. This skill further showcases itself when he is working around the functions of either his Proto-Tool or refitting and engineering his Proto-Truk, given his notice of his younger brother's modifications to a harvester for space flight showcases his keen eye for mechanisms. Such is Rook's mechanical genius that even fellow automotive enthusiast and gearhead Kevin Levin would call upon the former's unique expertise in augmenting his own ride to make it physically impervious to destruction.

### Equipment

#### Proto-TOOL

Rook uses the Proto-Tool to help him in battle. He is adapted to using the Proto-Tool as a sword, bow, grappling hook, blaster, and various other things.

#### Proto-TRUK

Rook uses the Proto-TRUK as his primary vehicle and transport for himself and Ben 23.

## Weaknesses

Rook can't handle high temperatures for long periods of time, due to having fur.

Rook does not like beam scans as the Z bosons condense on his fur, making him itch.

Rook is vulnerable to being controlled by a Vladat via their Corrupturas.

Rook is a 'by-the-book' Plumber and at times can be too rigid. As a result, he can sometimes be at a disadvantage when facing against an unpredictable foe and needs to 'think-outside-of-the-box'.

Due to being relatively new to Earth customs and culture, Rook is sometimes confused with expressions and Ben 23's unorthodox style of handling certain situations. At times, he takes certain expressions literally.

Rook is somewhat naïve and overly trusting, which can lead to misunderstandings or awkward situations

## Trivia

* The reason as to why Rook 23 has the model of future Rook Blonko is because Benzarro85 preferred this over the Prime Timeline version of the same character.
