Description

Rush is one of my oldest characters ever made. She was created somewhere in 2005, when Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! Had arrived to Sweden and I fell heads over heels for the show. It is still one of my favourite shows and just some days ago I finished watching all the seasons, two which I have never seen before because only the 2 first seasons came to Sweden. I sure wish that season 5 would have come, but it’s easy to tell that will not be a thing. I’m however still very happy to have seen it all now, and I guess it’s up to one’s imagination to what happens after episode 52!

Anyhow, let’s go into this purple fur ball and what she’s all about. I created Rush for a comic I made as a kid, it went along for 3 little books made of folded A4 paper stapled together creating the “back” of the comic book. Even for being a dumb little kid while making this Rush was actually not such a bad character, going through the comic again many years later there wasn’t much about her I would complain about except the fact that apparently sometime in the future of the comic she would completely ruin Shuggazoom City and get her hands on Mandarin’s gloves (in the comic Rush saw this in a vision). So that whole thing is not going to happen anymore. Pretty much all the rest of her I decided to keep, with some tweaking here and there.


Story
Rush is an 8th Robot monkey (counting with the Silver Monkey) created by the Skeleton King to do his deeds. He built her in his own image, as he has never been afraid to show he’s the one behind the evil cast over Shuggazoom, and as a mockery for the Monkeys, forcing them to fight another one of their own kind. For some years Rush grows up in the Citadel of Bones and stays loyal as a little puppy to the Skeleton King, viewing him as her father and master. Once she got her robot body things escalated quickly, when went through hard training and painful experiments to enhance her strength and powers, however it did not make her any less loyal to her master. Once Mandarin came around they tend to have their fights as Mandarin of course viewed himself as the worthy one of sitting on the Skeleton King’s shoulder and to have his attention. Rush, who was not “finished” yet couldn’t do much to fight back, as Mandarin’s powers were way out of her reach. Eventually as her big mission approached, she was granted a portion of the Skeleton King’s power. She could not cast grand curses or rise the dead, but she could create powerful energy beams, spears, balls, and lightning-like attacks.

One day in Shuggazoom something appeared on the Super Robot’s radar, alarming the team. They saw it crash not very far from the city. They all quickly made their way there to find some kind of pod in a small crater. As the pod opened they were greeted by a pair of red eye glaring up at them. Moments later the team was in a wild battle against the stranger, chocked and puzzled by the fact she was another Robot Monkey they did not want to kill her. Rush underestimated the team and got knocked out by Antauri’s Ghost claws and fell to the ground. Later inside the Super Robot the team tried to find out who she was, they could easily tell she was connected to Skeleton King, but Gibson could not run a scan to find out much more about her as something was causing a jam in the scanner. They put her in a recovering chamber to heal after getting so badly beaten up. The whole team was wary, not knowing who she was and what she was exactly capable of doing. Days later she woke up and ripped herself free from the chamber and broke the glass surrounding her. An alarm went off and the first to encounter her was Nova. Nova prepared herself for battle but it got difficult to land a hit as Rush used her signature ability: Hyper Speed. The rest of the team soon arrived and watched as the purple monkey darted back and forth in the room. Then finally Rush went for an attack at Nova, but Nova was prepared and shoved her fist into Rush’s head, knocking her against a metal wall and received a broken snout. The team was ready to finish her off, but Chiro stepped in the way and told them to calm down and remember what they agreed on: to find out who this mysterious monkey was and why she was created.

They put a blanket around the dazed monkey and waited for her to snap out of it. Once she did they all acted very calmly, and surprisingly so did Rush. They were not sure if all the hard hits to her head had destroyed parts of her robotic mind or if she simply had her own free will left and felt enough of a connection to the other Robot monkeys to eventually agree on not destroying anything more and staying with them. However they could of course not trust her just like that. She was assigned to spend most of her time in a chamber with cameras watching her every move and with an alarm which would go off if she exited the chamber in any way. A tracking device was also put into her, in case she would escape. Her only request was to have something to run on, so they fetch her a treadmill and installed it in her chamber, along with a TV, to not bore her out completely. A lot of mystery and suspicion lingers around her when it comes to the team members, what will happen between them and Rush? Will they accept her and will she accept them? Or will she fulfil her mission and bring havoc to Shuggazoom and fight her brethren?

You're character's backstory sounds very interesting. I also love the design. You should make a fanfiction based on her character.
