Description
Name: Ferross
Prompts: Overlord, Insular
Locomotion: Walking
Speed: Average
Strength: Average
Endurance: Is hard to knock down or get near the main body, but hitting Ferross with an attack is a lot like hitting a balloon. A bit difficult to flinch, but takes a lot of damage easily at the same time due to how frail the body actually is.
Agility Traits: Jumping

Light Melee
Ferross jabs and swipes, utilizing the four legs in a manner of ways. They're good for getting in a series of rapid pot-shots that are more aggravating than they are reallly damaging. Otherwise he can grapple and fling enemies pretty far.

Heavy Melee
The walking arms can be used as heavy clubs that certainly bring more damage. Both forward facing limbs can come down for a makeshift Hammerfist. A real hard-hitter is aiming one arm forward, claws angled forward, and use that arm like a spear or javelin.

Reach
Ferross has very high reach with how far the limbs extend, which is what makes the pot shots so aggravating.

Special Moves
-Cartwheel: With no anchored joints to hold the limbs in place, or any part of this machine for that matter, Ferross can extend all four arms out far as they can reach and cartwheel toward and opponent. Difficult to jump over. A good way to cover a lot of ground very quickly.
-The Conformer: A large amount of the energy to power Ferross is focused through the entire body and up to the two points, and unleashes a devastating beam attack.

Biography
Far, far away on a distant, dying planet, a race of extraterrestrials brought the collective will to leave their world before it was too late. They constructed a machine to travel the stars, and with that, sought new hope for the future. They are the Ferross, a entire species of sapient, highly evolved humanoids no taller than grain of salt. They took their largest, most advanced city and its surrounding land, and began their search.

Their journey brought them to the Oasis that is Earth.

Seeing the giants that ruled it, they decided to do all in their power to take the planet for themselves. They would decimate the towering foes from their rule over the planet and take their place as the new overlords of giants with a giant of their own.

But the giants, while numerous, were dwarfed by the even larger foes that threatened them in turn as well. Giants as big as their mighty war machine. Giants they would have to eradicate...

Appeal
A bit on the big side, Ferross has a reach that can allow him to hit foes at a distance. He can be depicted as a somewhat cheap fighter, since he also is hard to knock down. He isnt easy to throw to the floor given his balance and the fact most of the body hovers with an energy base. Hitting him is a bit like hitting a balloon. That doesn't mean he is safe, though, cause Ferross is a light foe that can take a lot of damage very quickly, and being thrown on its "back" is still possible with very heavy hits. It takes a bit of skill to use this one without taking on a lot of damaging in the process. Otherwise, the basic move set of physical jabs and swipes is easy enough to learn.
