Description

SETTING: General Sonic

FULL NAME: Snap the Stoat

GENDER/SPECIES: Male Arctic Stoat

AGE: Late 20s

RESIDENCE: Town of Cold River, Frost Barren Zone

COLORS/MARKINGS: Entirely white fur except for a black tail tip; yellow sclera with blue pupils, pink nose and inner ears, robotic arms and legs from the shoulder and hips down, respectively

CLOTHING/OUTFIT: Side-zip vest with shearling fuzzy collar and arm holes, tactical winter goggles, equipment belt

LIKES: Robotics, breaking and fixing things, stuff blowing up, modding his robotic parts, more nerdy shows and games than he’s willing to admit, energy drinks, feeling confident

DISLIKES: Being thought of as a nerd, people who dislike his robotic parts, coffee or bitter drinks, feeling underappreciated, feeling insecure

COMBAT STYLE: While Snap tends to be the heavy weapons specialist for the group, he much prefers close-range combat and any chance he can get to show off his “Faraday Fists”. The Faraday Fists are a modification to his robotic arms that discharge a heavy electrostatic pulse on contact with other robots or machinery, of which his own parts are hardened against, but which will disable or destroy any opposing electronics. Most of their weaponry is built around leaving any enemy robots as intact as possible for salvage and reverse-engineering purposes.

BACKGROUND:
Much like his childhood friends Snowblind and Jaunt, Snap the Stoat hails from the frigid tundra of the Frost Barren Zone. Part of the same Resistance robotics team as Snowblind, Snap leapt at the chance to volunteer for partial roboticization, both for the sake of research, and as a way in his head to compensate for years of bullying and being called a nerd. The vast majority of the subsequent modifications to his robotic limbs were of his own creation, and ultimately proved to his advantage when their Resistance base was ultimately overrun. Escaping back to the Frost Barrens with Snowblind and regrouping with Jaunt and others, Snap has been the source of both their new bases' defenses and countless other inventions, and proven himself an integral member of the team.

PERSONALITY:
Abrasive, obnoxious, and at times insufferable, Snap has spent the better part of his life trying, with varying degrees of success, to not come off as a nerd. Having spent most of his childhood and teenage years bullied for his size and propensity to lose himself in books, Snap has grown into a defensive, slightly antagonistic stoat with a constant need for macho posturing. Beneath all the overbearing edge is a deeply insecure mind mixed with something between an inferiority complex and a deep-seated lack of confidence. At the same time, he has also grown into a robotics wizard, far outshining many of his peers. He's made creative use of his voluntarily roboticized limbs and developed innumerable tools, weapons, and the like from captured and homebrewed equipment. A tinkerer who can easily lose himself in a project for nights on end, Snap will nonetheless jump at the chance to enter combat, any excuse he can get to show off his new builds and prove himself. His relationship with the rest of Team Snowblind is at the very least workable; they have known him long enough to be fully aware of his quirks, after all. Still, there are times when he can come off as too abrasive, and he is easily the most likely in the group to cause trouble. Nine times out of ten, it will be him and Jaunt picking a fight with each other, with Rian frantically trying to mediate. That all being said, at the end of the day, they’re still able to make it work.
