Character Sheet: Papa Lightning

PAPA LIGHTNING


And now we have a long list of character who appear exclusively within the Metroid comics, manga, and other non-game media. These will all act as a roster on their own, separate from the standard game roster. They are:

1. Joey Apronika

2. Kreatz

3. Mauk

4. Diesel

5. GFS Tyr Crew

6. Armstrong Houston

7. Zegan Doh

8. Bomad

9. U-Ton

10. Papa Lightning

11. Chozo Elders

12. Greed

13. Bishop

14. Knight

15. Dangelo

16. Pirate Boss

17. Amokmaw

18. Integra

19. Megaroid

Diesel is a member of a race called the Craftsmen, whose mechanical abilities were renowned across the galaxy. However, when their talents started being used to construct weapons of mass destruction, the Craftsmen, led by Diesel's mentor Papa Lightning, chose to take a vow to never build machines ever again and all withdrew to their homeworld, to live amongst nature. Diesel disagreed with this and refused to take the vow, resulting in his exile from the planet. When Samus, Joey, and Diesel crash-land on the planet during Metroid EX, Lightning and his followers initially refuse to help the crew repair their ship, but have a change of heart when Diesel tries and fails to dismantle a superbomb set by the villain Blast by himself.

Here's the moveset I came up with:


Standard B: Repair

Papa will be faster in this move than Diesel was.


Side B: Disassemble

Same, the main difference between them will be speed.


Up B: Flotation Device

This one will be a bit more rickety and slapped together.


Down B: Remote Detonation

About the same as well.


Final Smash: Craftsman Swarm

A horde of Craftsmen will swarm around the stage, disassembling everything, stealing all items and deactivating most of the players' controls for a short time.


Entrance: He will emerge from the trees with his walking stick.


Taunts: Up, he will seem to go into a zen mode. Side, he will wave around his walking stick angrily. Down, he will sit and fiddle with a small machine.


Kirby Hat: His ears and stripes.


Kart: Assembled from branches and leaves.

Special Move: A swarm of Craftsmen will surround him, disassembling the karts of any who get too close.


Spirit Battle: On Junk Quixote, a horde battle.


Victory Screen: He and his people will hold up a bunch of disassembled pieces and dance around.

Losing Screen: He and his people will take their vow to withdraw from the world of technology.


Color Swaps: All the same as Diesel's just a bit older and more faded in color.


Thanks for reading! Next up, Old Bird, Gray Voice, Platinum Chest, maybe we could even toss in Quiet Robe here.
