Goldfish

Goldfish by Agustian Noor.

In life, Goldfish was an avid treasure-seeker, plunging into the depths of flooded coastal cities to collect valuable artifacts from the ruins. His love for riches far superseded his concern for the immense dangers of his profession. In the end, it was his pride, not the job that killed him.

## Fight History

SIBLING RIVALRY: GOLDFISH V. XIAO LONG BAO

Goldfish and his girlfriend Minno were living their best life until the tsunami of 2032 disrupted their whole way of life. Before they could keep diving, they would need to wait for the tides to settle...if they ever did. These days, there weren't any clean-up crews like before. Or were there? He'd been removed from mainstream society for so long, he had no idea what it was like out there any more.

With their treasure hunting on hold, Goldfish and Minno went to Rinkutown where they heard fights were paying good money. It wasn't half-bad in Rinkutown. He and Minno won many fights and were earning a pretty penny. Too bad his sister had too show up and ruin it.

For some reason, the bosses of Rinkutown granted his sister's request to let her fight him even though she'd just arrived! In a no-good display of the worst sort of betrayal, Xiao ended the fight by kicking him in the groin.

SIBLING RIVALRY #3: GOLDFISH / MINNO V. XIAO LONG BAO / FISTFOOT

- After getting humiliated in front of Rinkutown when his sister kicked him in the nuts, Goldfish couldn't stay there. He left to go make money in the Preservation fights instead. Unfortunately, his sister wasn't letting him get away without extra harassment. In a bar on the edge of town, she has the nerve to approach him while he's drinking with Minno. This pisses them both off and they attack her.

HEADLESS PRIDE: GOLDFISH V. BUTCHER

Having lost to his sister twice, Goldfish is facing a deep hole of shame. In a prideful rage, he stalks off to prove himself by facing "the greatest fighter on Earth," as the Fistfoot described the man known as The Butcher. Unfortunately, nothing could have prepared him for the Butcher's supranatural abilities. The Butcher was unwilling to engage until Goldfish started running his notorious mouth. With a flick of the risk, Goldfish was dead before he knew it.

DESTRUCTION: GRISTLE V. GOLDFISH

Gristle relentlessly stalks the members of Dispatch Squad 1. Eventually, he catches Goldfish. Though Goldfish brings the best of his abilities, he still gets washed. It seems nothing can stop the hulking brute that Gristle has become in the afterlife.

FECKLESS: DeCERVANTES V. GOLDFISH

Maybe not everyone believes him but Goldfish doesn't have to prove to anyone what he knows to be true. So when DeCervantes tells him it will be faster to reach the plains if they head through the forest, Goldfish tells him they need to go around. DeCervantes is a patient man and reminds him that he's the one giving the orders. Goldfish reminds him that "if a dumbass is giving the orders, it's his duty to disobey the orders." The fight that breaks out over this sees Goldfish standing above DeCervantes, who agrees to bypass the forest and take the long way.

## Trivia

Out of all the members of the Deceased, Goldfish is the only one who didn’t go through the tunnel on his way to the inferno. He washed up on a shore instead. Other people think of him differently for not having walked the tunnel. Someone doesn’t believe him.
