Badrar

Currently:

* Bats
* Chima Alliance

Currently:

* Supreme Commander/Field Marshal (3ic)

Badrár was a General of the Bat Army who swiftly rose through the ranks, and is currently the tribe's third-in-command, the Supreme Commander/Field Marshal. He is an RPC created by Shamrock7203. Due to his skills and quickly growing reputation, Badrár had been a subject of multiple assassination attempts during the Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War, but impressively always survived. He was also one of the first beings in southern Chima to have detected the impending invasion of the Ice Hunters, and served as the Imperial Remnant's second-in-command under Balthazar soon after this.

Following Bliston's capture, Brakket's disappearance, and Balthazar's death during the Crawler—Ice Hunter War, Badrár even rose to become the leader of the Bat Tribe for a brief time. During that period, he oversaw important operations such as the treaty with the Bears, the destruction of the Icebear Fleet, the rescue of Bliston from Icestrike's Ultimate Glacier, and the colonization of New Bat Island.

## Biography

### Early Life

(Originally posted by Shamrock7203 on the "Black Fang Mountain (Bat HQ)" topic.)

After being evolved by the chi Gible dropped, Badrár's parents were some of the first to follow Bliston out of the cave, and were keen supporters of the war against Chima. They left their son in Black Fang Mountain when they departed for the wars, but never returned. His father was seen in the entrance to the Bear Cave moments before it fell, but was reportedly buried by the rubble. His mother went missing soon after.

### Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War

The possible deaths of his parents motivated Badrár to join the Bat Tribe's war effort. As the Crawler Empire continued fighting the Chima Alliance, he trained in Black Fang Mountain and reached the rank of General, fifth-in-command of the tribe. Soon after receiving the rank, Badrár was venturing to the upper levels of Black Fang Mountain, when he met King Bliston's sister. Bratta introduced herself, but their conversation was cut short when Badrár received a private radio message from Bliston, ordering him to take legions of the Royal Army to reinforce the Bats' half of the Black Overwatch force, which had formed a blockade under complex conditions around Eagle Territory. Badrár left Black Fang Mountain with his forces. They were ambushed by a ground-to-air barrage from the Lions as they flew over The Great Forest, but Badrár had the Bats bomb the Lions' forces, scattering them. Despite sustaining minor damage and losses, Badrár's forces made it to the Eagle territory, where they were informed that the Crawler Empire had allied with the Eagles and Crocodiles, as well as making peace with the Rhinos and Gorillas. During his leisure time, Badrár entered the Great Library in Eagle Spire, exchanging pleasantries with a high-class eagle.

#### Conspiracies and Betrayals

Later, Badrár learned that Barney Balhoun, the former Bat third-in-command and Black Overwatch Commander, had defected from the Crawler Empire to join The Forgotten. Thus, former fourth-in-command Brakket ranked up to replace him (dissolving the Bats' half of Black Overwatch into the Royal Army soon after), and Badrár, deemed the most competent out of the regular generals, ranked up as well, replacing Brakket as the Bats' fourth-in-command. After spending a while in the Eagles' library, Badrár was visited by a spider, who introduced herself as Scoliscopod and claimed to be part of the Crawler Empire, assigned by Spelyne as a private security guard for the new Grand Sky General. Badrár had a bat soldier escort her to a room, and then voiced his suspicions about her to an eagle, who led Badrár into a communications room, where Badrár sent a message to Black Fang Mountain. In response, Badrár received confirmation that the Crawler Empire was comprised only of the Bats and Scorpions, and that the spider must then be a spy. When Scoliscopod entered the room, Badrár ambushed her at gunpoint after a short conversation, demanding that she surrender to be taken in for questioning.

Scoliscopod surrendered, but as Badrár and two bat soldiers marched her through the halls, one of the smaller spires in Eagle territory was heavily damaged by a blast from the Schrewerer Gustav. The cannon launched a smaller shot at the main Eagle Spire, causing Badrár and the bat guards to stumble as the Spire rocked. Scoliscopod took the opportunity to escape. As eagle guards chased after her, Badrár, shocked at the Gorillas' betrayal, had the Outland forces leave the spire so the Gorillas wouldn't cause civilian casualties, as the Eagle Army flew out to attack Gorilla HQ.

#### Assassination Attempt

Despite the entire Eagle Army and all present Crawlers having left the HQ, the Gustav launched another blast at the middle of the spire, causing extreme damage. As the Crawler Empire hacked Chima Public Broadcasting, Badrár had a video broadcast to all of Chima, depicting him explaining the Gorillas' apparent war crime, while Bats helped eagle civilians out of the rubble from the damaged part of the Spire. As the Crawlers and Gorillas continued battling over control of the media with propaganda, Badrár went to help an eagle who was buried under rubble. Badrár uncovered the eagle, who appeared to have a broken wing and leg. However, as Badrár tried to fly him to safer ground, the eagle revealed a chi handgun, shooting Badrár seven times in the one small opening in his armor. Badrár fell but survived, and the terrorist eagle (whose seemingly broken body parts had been a ploy) tried to massacre all other Bats in the area, but was stopped by a wolf mech pilot who arrived on the scene. As the terrorist was distracted fighting the wolf's mech, a bat farm boy from The Grassy Plains carried Badrár out of the area. Badrár thanked him as he fell unconscious, and bat medics quickly evacuated all the injured Bats and Eagles from the area.

#### Aftermath

Badrár and the others were taken to hospitals within Imperial factories that'd been built in the Eagle territory earlier. The terrorist was apprehended by the Bats, but since every bat he'd shot survived, and the Imperial, Forgotten, and recently arrived Lion forces had just signed a strict peace treaty between all sentient beings in the region, the Bats reluctantly allowed the terrorist to go free (however, the Crawler Empire put the eagle at the top of their "wanted" list immediately after he left the territory, unknowing that he'd soon after be killed in the Gorilla Jungle). While comatose, Badrár had a prophetic dream about the Ice Hunters invading the south and defeating the Crawler Empire.

### Crawler—Ice Hunter War

Badrár, now mostly healed, woke up after having the dream. Since his eyes glowed white at first, the bat doctors checked him for blindness. Badrár could still see, but a scorpion soldier arrived in the factory's hospital, telling them of the battle in The Iron Mountains that resulted in Scorpion Supreme Leader Scorpix, 70% of the Royal Scorpion Army, and the Ravens they'd been fighting getting frozen by ice birds. Badrár ordered the Bats to gather any more remaining scorpion soldiers. Badrár radioed Black Fang Mountain, telling Bliston about the new threat, but the warning came too late; the Bat King, his HQ, and most of his tribe was frozen by the Icebears. Grand Admiral Balthazar then radioed Badrár, ordering the Bats to load all their supplies from the Eagle territory onto a cargo ship. The former second-in-command, now having taken charge, explained to Badrár that what remained of the tribe would be integrated into the Bat Fleet, and their new HQ would be the Bat Naval Command Center on Bat Island, until they could figure out how to free Bliston and the rest of the frozen bats from Icestrike's Ultimate Glacier.

#### The Balthazar Campaign

Since Brakket had disappeared, Grand Admiral Balthazar made the now healed Badrár the unofficial second-in-command of the Imperial Remnant, and Badrár was put in charge of two aircraft carriers that shared a fleet of Wing Strikers. Though the Imperial Remnant was made up almost entirely of Bats, there was also at least one scorpion who'd joined, swearing allegiance to Balthazar. All the ships of the Bat Fleet had the massive, spike-shaped black rocks from Bat Island tied to their bows, and, despite not having fire chi yet, effectively combated the Icebear Fleet (attempting to get to Bat Island for a reason unknown to the Bats), thanks to Balthazar's brilliant strategies. After two successful battles against the enemy fleet, the Bat Fleet was approached by the Pirates of the West Sea, who wanted to join forces with the Imperial Remnant to purge The West Sea of the water-freezing Icebear ships. Balthazar allied with the pirates, and used them to obtain Chi Ghost concoctions from the Gorilla Jungle, before attacking the Icebear Fleet in the north.

The combined might of the Imperial Remnant, the pirates, and an army of flying, intangible ghosts destroyed most of the Icebear Fleet, and their remaining ships were forced into retreat. The pirate captain of the time turned on the Bats after the victory, sending the Chi Ghost army to attack the Bats' ships. However, Balthazar outsmarted the pirates, and destroyed the concoctions they'd used to spawn the Chi Ghosts, thus "destroying" the ghosts as they dissipated and returned to the Chi Ghost Realm. Balthazar had the Bat Fleet surround and destroy the pirates' ship, but as Badrár and the crew of his ship praised the Grand Admiral for his victory against the Icebears and pirates, Balthazar was suddenly assassinated by his bodyguard, Klark, due to the fox's old friendship with many of the pirates.

#### Fall and Rise

After Grand Admiral Balthazar's death, leadership of the Imperial Remnant (effectively the Bat Tribe) fell to Badrár, with Commodore Brethil taking Badrár's place as second-in-command. The remaining ships of the Icebear Fleet took advantage of the tactician's fall to reemerge and attack the Bats as they finished destroying the pirates. As his ship was partially frozen and sunk by the Icebears' sudden attack, Badrár and his crew flew onto Balthazar's flagship, the *Ascendancy*,where Badrár took command and ordered a retreat. The loss of the Grand Admiral and the Icebears' brutal counterattack caused most of the Bats' ships to be sunk, their crews frozen and captured even as the Bats retreated to Bat Island. With only seven remaining ships, Badrár made it past Bat Island as the Bat Naval Command Center was destroyed, and the island was frozen by the Icebears. Badrár's force did, however, rendezvous with a small ship whose crew carried the infant Bat Prince Bernard, having been sent away from Bat Island by Balthazar before the final battle.

In light of Balthazar's death, Scorpianus took a Wing Striker and flew back to the mainland, but Badrár didn't notice, preoccupied with keeping the remaining men under his command alive and unfrozen. Following this, a remaining naval bat told Badrár about a large island far to the west that Balthazar had discovered during the Bat Fleet's nautical expeditions. Badrár agreed to have the remaining Bats go there, as they planned their next move. However, as the eight ships sailed west, a storm separated the smallest one, a troop transport, from the rest. Badrár refused to continue their voyage west until the lost men or their bodies were found. Soon after, the crew of the troop transport flew back to the anchored caravan of ships, all wearing strange red and gold armor. The Bats explained that they'd found the Phoenix Islands and earned fire chi from the Phoenix, so they could now rescue the frozen Bats from the Ice Hunters.

However, the Bats were ambushed and surrounded by the fleet of the Bears, a tribe that was a member of the Chima Alliance. The Bats negotiated with them until the remains of the Icebear Fleet, who'd been following the Bats for revenge after freezing Bat Island, caught up from the northeast. The Bats quickly made peace with the Bears, giving them some of their fire chi (which the Bears had earned for their species in 195 BR) so both tribes could fight back their common enemy. The Bat and Bear ships powered up with fire chi, easily destroying the remaining Icebear ships, after which they made an official truce. As the Bat and Bear fleets went their separate ways, Badrár sent a force of fire chi-powered Bats back to mainland Chima, to rescue Bliston and the rest of the tribe from Icestrike's Ultimate Glacier.

### Great Migration

After sending the task force east, Badrár was told by the veteran naval Bats that on their expedition, they'd encountered and destroyed a scout ship from an unknown but hostile species and empire. The newly freed Bliston, who'd known this, radioed Badrár soon after, telling him to continue the seven ships' migration to the large western island (now named New Bat Island), and prepare for the arrival of the rest of the Bats. Bliston explained that the Bat Tribe would move there, to build a defense force, and protect their currently war-torn home continent of Chima from a possible invasion by the western empire. Badrár sailed to New Bat Island, where he and the other Bats of his now small group anchored and began building a dock with the large islands' plentiful materials. By the time they finished building the docks, Bliston, Brakket, and the rest of the Bat Tribe, having rescued Dr. Benjamin and Bat-aligned raven Rex from the Sabertooth Tigers, had flown to the island.

### Life on New Bat Island

After a happy reunion with the rest of the Bats, Badrár (now officially appointed as the Bat Tribe's third-in-command, the Supreme Commander/Field Marshal, in light of Bliston and Brakket's return) assisted in building Balthazar City in the center of the island, where a natural chi spring was located. As construction of the headquarters neared completion, Bratta and Barney Balhoun, now married, flew to New Bat Island, pleading forgiveness for their earlier defection from the tribe. Badrár later heard that Bliston had let them rejoin the tribe (though now stripped of their original high ranks), and that they'd had two children.

Soon after construction of Balthazar City was completed, Badrár stood on a wall at the eastern edge of the island, gazing at the ocean, until he saw the Bat Coast Guard carrying an unconscious scorpion. Badrár flew down to meet them, and was shocked to see that the castaway was Scorm, the former Scorpion King known to have been assassinated during the Chima Alliance—Crawler Empire War. When Badrár questioned how Scorm appeared to be brought back from the dead, the Bats carrying him replied that they didn't know either, and that King Bliston could probably figure it out. Badrár agreed, and the Coast Guard Bats headed into the city with the unconscious Scorm. Badrár likely saw the golden scorpion being thrown through a window of Bliston's new castle by Bratta; the event which proved that the unscathed Scorm was "immortal" to an extent. Scorm later slipped past Badrár and other bat soldiers when he stowed away on a dropship heading for the neighboring Scordon Island.

### Second Chima Civil War

Much later, during the war on the mainland between the Chima Alliance and Primordium, Bliston eventually ended up siding with the former faction, after being radioed by Rex and informed that Galvanor's forces were attacking the neutral Bat Tribe embassy atop Mount Cavora. A furious Bliston ordered the Bats to join the Battle of Lion City on the Alliance's side, and while Badrár was pained by the thought of fighting his former allies, the Eagles, he nevertheless went with the army as ordered. At Lion City, Badrár commanded a portion of the Bat Tribe forces, helping to push the Eagles, Wolves, Phoenix, and eventually the Sabertooths into retreat; an exhaustive battle, but one that resulted in both a victory for the Chima Alliance, and the Bats officially joining the Alliance. It is unknown whether or not Badrár participated in the Battle of Eagle Spire soon after.

## Appearance, Gear, and Traits

(Originally posted by Shamrock7203 on the "Black Fang Mountain (Bat HQ)" topic.)

Appearance: Badrár is unusual in colour, his wings and other extremities pitch black, with his fur gradually lightening until it reaches a thin ring around his torso, which is slightly lighter than the average bat colour. Badrár wears elaborate armour, seemingly of silver, over his entire body, other than his head. (Though he does wear the helmet on occasion). While it appears silver, it is a mysterious metal that is incredibly light, whilst maintaining its strength. It is shaped to match his body perfectly, with decoration being the only part to stick out in a different way to that of the contours of his body.

Weapons and Gear: Badrár wields a spear, supplemented by a chi blaster and a dagger. The spear has a head of the same metal that forms his armour, which is also the substance of the dagger. Even the blaster is inlaid with it.

Personality: Badrár believes in the superiority of the Bat Tribe. He is willing to work with the Scorpions to gain dominance over Chima, but hopes that they can soon be discarded. He is a loyal soldier, willing to die to defend the honour, and ensure the protection, of his tribe. He is a calm bat, with an eye for diplomacy and manipulation. He is a competent warrior but prefers to have others do his dirty work.
