**Character Art: [Default / Summer Casual / Winter Casual]**

## Starcluster Data

Strongarm was born to the Crescent Blade house of Earthclads to Rokkenmabu and Orrevina. His parents trained him from youth to be a proficient warrior, especially in the art of Stoneborne Rocofu. This Earthclad technique allows him to burrow underground and form stalagmites with a stomp, due to his natural geomancy.

He rose the ranks of the Earthclad army, before being passed the title of General by his commanding officer. Under such a title, he leads the army to perform their best when he's not assisting AnthonyM in other missions. Despite his large frame, he's not all brawn, sporting a strategic mind that's on par with Techo's TEC-K program.

He's an excellent ally who's always willing to lend his strength to help whatever righteous cause he gets in. He may have a bit of a temper, but his coolheaded and calculated behavior allows him to keep up with the likes of other Sketchian heavy hitters.

## Background

### Early life

Strongarm was raised by his mother Orrevina and his father Rokkenmabu to be a proper Earthclad fighter. During his youth, he was always proud of his lineage to the Crescent Blade family. He was given the name Gaeolin during his birth.

Strongarm was drafted into the Earthclad Army at the age of 13, where he gained his name for having the strongest upper body of his squadron. When his general died in battle, he took up the mantle of general himself due to being the highest-ranking lieutenant.

### *AnthonyM and the World of Sketch*

Strongarm is first seen saving AnthonyM from getting squashed by a rolling boulder. Confused at the new fellow, Strongarm obliged to help him to safety and found out from AnthonyM's fighting style that he was a Guardian. The two decided to tour the continent of Sketchima together, picking up Techo and Blurri, and forming the M-Crew along the way.

The Earthclad Army had gained a reputation thanks to Strongarm's help in saving Penciltown from a vicious Killer Bee, but he usually remained on his home at Mt. Earthclad when not at the M-Crew Command Base, usually to keep his troops in peak condition.

He would eventually face the five Earthclad trials to prove he was fit to be the general of his army, and succeeded.

After braving the trials, he ran into a huntress on the way back who was in the middle of trying to capture a Magma Boar, but in danger due to the beast pinning her down. Strongarm, realizing this, fought the boar himself, using his strength to topple the beast and giving the huntress time to deliver a killing blow to it. She thanked him for his help, and offered him a seat at her family's dinner.

The huntress introduced herself as Ruchala, and told Strongarm that she had developed feelings for him after their time taking on that Magma Boar together. The two would continue dating after that night.

Later on, Shadus would duel him and win fairly.

### *AnthonyM and the Faraway Map*

Strongarm was the main driving force in building the SS Mixium, the vessel that would allow the M-Crew to sail across Sketchia to find the Cube of Awakening's pieces, and eventually aid the colossus of Sketchia's core in putting the planet back together.

### *Sketch Arena Tournament*

Strongarm was among the first fighters to accept the invitation to join the tournament, alongside the rest of the M-Crew and the Gallum family.

### *DLC- Mom Squad*

Strongarm meets up with his mother, Orrevina, and introduces her to AnthonyM. After she tells his friend a story about Strongarm's youth (much to his embarassment), the news reports a Rollyin infestation in Penciltown, prompting the two Earthclads and the Sketchian to clean the city of the spherical pests.

Strongarm and his mother use their combined strength to take on a giant Rollyin at Penciltown Square before it can crush the Command Base and cause collateral damage to the city.

### *AnthonyM and the Multiverse: Crossing Rifts*

Strongarm was corrupted and guarded Mt. Earthclad in an attempt to slow AnthonyM's progress in thwarting Almafur and Zemadonis' plans. Once freed of their control, he lets the Guardian know what he had heard from them before he was corrupted and comes along for the journey. He is always the first new member who joins The Cause after its formation.

## Personality

Strongarm is respectable and always looks at situations from multiple angles rather than diving headfirst. His humility is matched by his temper, however, as many things can set him off, including loud sound, personal space disruption, or trash-talking his mother or any other loved ones. When in a rage, he always aims to punch the lights out of whomever made him mad, usually by blocking their escape.

Outside of battle, Strongarm is a gentle giant, preferring to relax with a nice lava bath or push his skills to their limits through training. AnthonyM's own fiery spirit takes after his, and Strongarm takes a delight in mentoring the other members of the M-Crew with what battle arts he knows. Due to his position as an army general, he can come off as demanding, but he means well towards the physical and motivational growth of his friends.

## Relationships

### AnthonyM

Strongarm sees AnthonyM as a great friend, and almost like a little brother. The two get along quite well, and he even helped Ant on his feet when he first made it to Mt. Earthclad.

### Techo

Strongarm sees Techo as annoying, mainly due to his constant technobabble. However, the two do work well together when strategizing and have admitted that's one of the only times the two are ever in agreement over anything.

### Blurri

Strongarm envies Blurri's speed and flight, but is content to be weatherproof when working alongside her. He just doesn't like it when she uses rain attacks. As high-ranking officials of their respective provinces, they're glad to have met on good terms.

### Shadus

Strongarm can't stand Shadus's constant need for pranking due to his own tendency to be caught in their center. He will usually give Shadus a slap in the back of the head as a counter-prank.

### Hekama

Strongarm admires Hekama's mastery of magic and her kind demeanor. He especially is glad that Cybern has such a kind and patient partner like her to balance out his hotheadedness. Plus, he really thinks that her staff is a marvel of a weapon.

### Orrevina and Rokkenmabu

Strongarm admires his parents and is glad to follow in their footsteps. He just wishes his mom would stop embarassing him sometimes, and that his dad would actually be nicer to Ant.

### Gigavolt

Strongarm wonders if Gigavolt's strength comes from his own body or the power suit, and will usually ask Gigavolt to fight him armorless as a skill test.

### Terra

Strongarm and Terra seem to be great sparring partners, and he's even glad that she's willing to teach him better control over his own geomancy powers!

### Mufog

Strongarm sees Mufog as a cowardly villain who'd rather hide in Lady Elementia's shadow. While he's glad that Mufog has chosen to stop their villainy for now, he's unsure when they'll get back into it.

### Lance

Strongarm sees Lance as a tried-and-true fighter, and as one who has experienced personal loss, he's willing to sympathize with Lance and help him back on his feet.

### Ruchala

Strongarm loves his huntress girlfriend to the ends of the earth. He's not afraid to admit it, and will do anything he can to protect her. When he's not training his army to be at their best physical condition, he can be seen enjoying his time with Ruchala.
