Rezzie

Rezzie (レジー), also known as Rez, is considered one of the strongest warriors in Pixtopia history, despite being relatively new to the scene. Despite his heroic deeds, his core ideology officially makes him one of the only active villains in the entirety of HOP.

Appearance
Rezzie is slightly below average in height, a lean well-built body, having brown hair, tan skin tone, and dark brown eyes. during the 3rd tournament, he wears an orange and black style clothing, having a black sleeveless shirt and long black pants with black gloves, boots and a belt.

When he wears his Exotype armor, he gains shoulder plates, sleeves that cover his arms, chest, and neck. His hair also spikes up while wearing it. During the 4th tournament, his clothing changes. While retaining his glove, he now wears a white trimmed, short sleeve, a collared jacket which also is applied to his boots. He also wears a black and orange beneath his jacket.

Personality
Rezzie is a strong and capable fighter. He never backs down from a fight, even when facing up against fighters beyond his level. While he's certainly confident in his strength as a fighter, he's smart enough to gauge the strength of his enemies and their tactics. However, he can initially underestimate the strength of his opponents.

He's shown to have a strong sense of honor and sportsmanship, which was displayed in the finals of the 3rd Tournament when he bumped fists with Nicole. Even when he did become champion, much like Ba'rard, he's never shown to take advantage or care of his fame or victory for his own gain. This is due to his belief that the worth of an object or status was directly correlated to its usefulness, and his status as a Champion of the Third Tournament held no value to him.

He holds loyalty, friendship and teamwork to a high regard, as he was able to befriend Ba'rard work as a team with him throughout the 3rd tournament, allowing them to become champions. Especially when Evil Red was battling everyone, Rezzie put his faith and power onto Fernando, believing he's capable of stopping him. He has a some sense of humor, as he's willing to deal with Ba'rard antics, as well as laugh at Silver's jokes with the idea of Simon giving Ba'rard a back rub. Atop of that, when he makes a promise or threat, he does everything in his power to keep it.

Rezzie was also a believer in self-mastery over one's powers and abilities, as he believed in the mastery of oneself will allow him to master the world around him. This open-minded approach to power and knowledge allowed him to dabble not only in his own powers, but in the technologies of Exo-Type and even some magic as well. He's also an avid explorer, and is often seen exploring for ruins and for lost artifacts from the Great War.

Despite that, he is not without his darkness. Rezzie is a strong believer in meritocracy and deems equality as a perverted lie that tethers and stifles those who are truly gifted. He also believes that Pixtopia will eventually collapse on itself due to its societal and governmental failures; his disgust in this was so great that he even went into exile so that he will play no part in its self-destruction.

In contrast to how he is in the Tournaments, he is completely ruthless when it comes to fighting for real. He will spare no mercy for his enemies and will eliminate them as brutally and horrifically as possible, regardless of their status or station. When the Kreefell Sisters took over Lance and Raijin to destroy his house and fight him, Rezzie initially intended to slaughter the two heroes and the Sisters, but circumstances allowed the four to live beyond that day.

After his battles between Evil Red and his possessed friends, Rezzie's mindset likely changed to the darker side. It's possible that with his dark past and with what he had to go through, this caused Rezzie into thinking to change dramatically. Though he still shows honor and dignity towards those around him and to the laws and rules he follows, he's likely willing to show no mercy to those who go out of their way to attack him.

The Rez Side Story - Awakening (Before Heroes of Pixtopia)
As a child, Rezzie was born and raised in the Ancient Forest by his family. Unconsciously, the young boy at the age of 12 exhibited superhuman abilities of extraordinary intent after slaughtering a giant bear that was attacking him with an energy bomb. As the Ancient Forest was known to hold remnants of the Great War eons ago, his parents never considered that their son had powers. Rezzie and his family opted to move to the Capitol to live a better life. The event also erased his memory of what happened, and after that day he never displayed superhuman abilities again.

Seven years later, Rezzie fully awakened as a superhuman after butchering a serial killer that attacked him and his best friend, Nesha. At first keeping his abilities a secret and slowly cultivated them behind closed doors, he discovered that he could heal others with his abilities, and himself to a greater extent. However, after almost a year, Rezzie felt lonely as he had no one to truly share this gift with. Acting on a whim, Rezzie revealed his abilities to Nesha and, with Nesha's permission, transferred some of his powers to him and turned Nesha into a superhuman, despite Nesha never having the "gift" as Rezzie did in the first place.

At first, everything was fine as they both cultivated their abilities together. However, after a week, something went wrong at a house party at Nesha's parents' house. Nesha's new powers internally rebounded on him and drove him into an insane eldritch monstrosity. In Nesha's sadistic frenzy, Nesha not only killed his entire family, but all of his and Rezzie's friends. Realizing that Nesha was beyond saving, Rezzie had no choice but to kill Nesha before he could become a threat to the world. Rezzie immediately fled the scene in fear and covered his tracks to this event, as no one alive ever knew that he was even there when the event happened. As far as history goes, it was told that Rezzie had left Nesha's residence before the massacre occurred.

The loss of his friends traumatized him internally as he had to personally bury every single one his friends. Worse so, the young superhuman has to live with the truth that his act of playing God resulted in the deaths of every friend he ever had. Opting to get as far away from his loved ones as humanely possible, Rezzie moved out of his parents' house and lived alone in a capsule townhouse in the industrial region of the city in order to prevent anyone he ever cared about left from being a victim of his mistakes.

The Rez Side Story - (Heroes of Pixtopia)
Two years after the death of his friends and having moved into his capsule townhouse, Rezzie had been spending those days living a monotonous routine of self-isolation in order to cope with his mistakes. Finding work at an outdoor gun range, he spent his mornings working, his hours after work training his powers in secret, eventually discovering the power of flight. Afterwards, he would drink himself to sleep, only to wake up in the morning and repeat it all over again.

One afternoon when he was going out shopping, Rah's invasion on Pixtopia struck at the very heart of the capitol, which resulted in the Targons slaughtering countless lives around him. Rezzie, fearing for the lives of his family, carved a swathe through the capitol with sword in hand to his old neighborhood, butchering every Skray and Targon Warrior that had the gall to get in his way. Much to his surprise, he found that his abilities were more than enough to subdue them alone.

Upon arriving at his family's house, he discovered that his family was hunkered down and armed with guns. When the invaders made their way into their neighborhood, Rezzie was forced to reveal his powers and fight off the Targon Warriors to protect his family, killing them and leaving the streets running black with daemonic blood. Horrified and traumatized at what their son had become, and realizing that Rezzie was responsible for the death of all of his friends, they disowned him and told Rezzie that they never wanted to see him again. Heartbroken and deeply depressed, Rezzie fled into the heart of the city, leaving them to whatever fate was in store for them.

With nothing and no one left to live for, Rezzie decided instead to die fighting surrounded by the corpses of his enemies. Posting himself in the very thick of the fray, he began to actively hunt down and kill as many Targons as he could get his hands on. In the middle of his onslaught, he ran into Ba'rard, who was on a mission for Exo-Type to hunt down a Targon Executioner as well as other demons. As it was the first time meeting another superhuman apart from himself, Rezzie opted to join Ba'rard on his mission. With their respective survivalist skills meshing extremely well, they both became friends quickly and together, they both hunted down and killed the Executioner.

Once the invasion came to an end, Rezzie returned to his daily life. Due to the outdoor gun range that he was working at being destroyed, he found new employment at a well renown food distributor where he was making much more money to live on. One his day off, Dr.Groxel announces a tournament in Red's honor, challenging fighters across Pixtopia to face off against Pix-Bot. Rezzie decides to participate in the tournament after Ba'rard offered him in being his partner, seeing as they were able to coordinate so well as a team during Rah's Invasion.

Red's 3rd LSW Tournament Saga
Rezzie and Ba'rard join the tournament and are introduced as Team 5. In their first battle, they face off against Randy and Ethan, labeled as Team 4. Starting out, neither Ethan or Randys managed to damage Ba'rard. Rezzie does his best to fight the duo but eventually loses due to ring out. However, Ba'rard managed to take Ethan out by ring out by a kick, while taking down Randy with a strong punch, causing Randy to go through the wall that enclosed the arena. With Ba'rard winning the match, Team 5 continues on to the next round. During the intermission, Rezzie is shown relaxing in the sideline alongside with Ba'rard.

In their next match, Team 5 faces off against Fernando and Koba, labeled as Team 2. As the match beings, Fernando and Koba decide to take down Ba'rard first, causing Koba to create a tornado, distracting Ba'rard, allowing Fernando to get him out of the ring. Though Rezzie was able to take down Fernando, leaving Koba as his only obstacle to win the match. Eventually, Rezzie managed to defeat Koba, allowing him and Ba'rard to continue on to the finals. With the finals commencing, Rezzie and Ba'rard of Team 5 go against Onis and Nicole of Team 6. Rezzie initially faces off against Onis, until he switches places with Ba'rard and fights Nicole briefly, only to have both fight against Nicole, nearly causing her to get a ring out. As the battle rages on, Rezzie manages to grab Nicole, causing Onis to lose his guard, allowing Ba'rard the chance to beat Onis. Though Ba'rard managed to get rid of Onis, Nicole broke free of Rezzie's hands and gets knocked out of the ring. Even with Rezzie getting a ring out, Ba'rard manages to outmaneuver and get Nicole out of the ring, making Ba'rard and Rezzie of Team 5 the tag-team champion of Red's 3rd LSW Tournament.

With Rezzie and Ba'rard being the new tag-team champions, Dr.Groxel asks them to face off against his latest creation, Pix-Bot. Despite their individual power, Pix-Bot managed to overpower both of them with little difficulty. Pix-Bot was able to copy and mimic their appearance, as well as their fighting style, inevitably, causing them to lose. Though the match was over, Red challenges Pix-Bot, nearly dying from Dr.Groxel's creation. The fellow participants decide to take down Pix-Bot in fear of becoming a potential threat. Rezzie and Ba'rard eventually recovers and decides to give everything they can against. Pix-Bot. Both Rezzie and Ba'rard charge one final attack against Pix-Bot, managing to overpower and destroy the machine for good. Dr.Groxel, in a fit of rage, decides to kill Red and everyone else in the tournament, though was quickly stopped by Red. Rezzie celebrates with his partner Ba'rard as the new champions, eventually celebrating and splitting their prize money in the end. With the tournament over, Rezzie heads out his own way, departing with Ba'rard and heads back home after the tournament.

Heroes of Pixtopia Shorts Saga

Rezzie states that he doesn't get the time but should he find some time in his schedule, He's willing to help out Red. Just as Rezzie was about to relax back home, his house got destroyed by Lance (runner-up from Red's 2nd tournament) and fighter Raishin. Unsure as to why they attacked him home, they try to ambush Rezzie but managed to overwhelm them with his power. Rezzie deciding to not hold back on them decides to wear his Exotype Armor that was on the ground thanks the explosion of his house. After taking Lance and Raishin, Rezzie stands in front of the two witches of Kreefall Desert, Enora and Eva. Rezzie finds out that they are the ones who are taking control of Lance and Raishin, with their goal is to also take control of himself.

Rezzie decides that taking them down is the best chance to release Lance and Raishin from their control. Rezzie, believing that now is not the time to play around, senses an extremely high battle power. As he was about to take them out, Lance and Raishin managed to make it in time to protect them. Once again, Rezzie takes them out, giving the witch sisters one final warning to release them or they'll die. Rezzie tells them that whatever power he felt, that power is a bigger threat than them. The witches take Rezzie's offer and escape, while they release the two fighters. Lance and Raishin regain conscious, feeling aggravated for having them take control of their will, though Lance remarks that he wanted to hitch with one of the witches. They also apologies for destroying Rezzie's home, to which Rezzie forgives. Afterward, MadCX, a friend of Rezzie, appears and says that the surge of power they felt is now a serious threat and that Evil Red has appeared.

Red's 4th LSW Tournament Saga
With Evil Red announcing for the 4thtournament, asking for the top 10 strongest fighters in all Pixtopia, Rezzie, joins the tournament as one of the 10 strongest fighters in Pixtopia. Arriving at the floating island of Summer Fell Island, Evil Red starts the tournament by challenging them in pushing him from his position before the time limit runs out. Rezzie eventually faces Evil Red and succeeds in moving him from his position. Rezzie does try to reason with Evil Red but Evil Red continues on with his plan to destroy the fighters and all of Pixtopia. Rezzie then watches fighter Alonzo and Benji fight Evil Red, so that Rezzie and the others can see a glimpse of Evil Red's true power. They fail in beating Evil Red's challenge, ending the first round and continues on to the second round.

Evil Red then challenges the fighters who passed to face their summoned slaved fighters. Rezzie has to face off against a unique purple Neo-Pixel Fighter as his challenger. Rezzie initially believed this would be easy, the Neo-Pixel Fighter managed to survive his barrage of attacks. Rezzie at first struggled to handle the Neo-Pixel Fighter but then takes it more serious. Rezzie tricks his enemy by creating a duplicate of himself, holding it down long enough to charge an energy blast, killing it and moving on to the next round. Soon, Evil Red's fighters were taken down, one able to take a few down, with Evil Red also reducing the remaining fighters, leaving the last three fighters be Fernando, Raijin, and Rezzie himself.

Evil Red deciding to have fun with them decides to alter the morality of Raijin and Fernando. Evil Red commands them to face off against Rezzie, with Raijin want to take him down alone. Rezzie unable to revert them to their senses battles Rajin in an equal battle. They both end in a beam clash, with Rezzie having no choice but to take down Raijin, winning the battle. However, while exhausted and left wide open, Fernando shoots an energy beam through Rezzi and defeats him while he is weakened. Rezzie now defeated, Evil Red reverts Fernando senses, leaving Fernando in horror to what he has done to his friend. With Fernando being the last fighter to battle Evil Red, Rezzie and the others leave the floating island, waiting for the right time to battle Evil Red and call for extra assistance.

With Evil Red deciding to start destroying Pixtopia, Rezzie and the other fighters do their best to take him down. Even with their combined might, Rezzie and the others fall, unable to do anything. Then, the past champions and runner-ups from red's tournaments arrive. Rezzie and the others regroup and decide to give their energy to Fernando in order to take down Evil Red. Rezzie briefly reunites with Ba'rard as they watch the battle between Evil Red and Fernando. Eventually, Fernando defeats Evil Red, bringing victory towards their side. Rezzie congrats Fernando for his victory, with his friend Ba'rard saying they should head out to eat and have him get a back rub, to which Silver (a former champion) makes a sly remark that first champion Zymon should do it. After the defeat of Evil Red, Rezzie now lives alone within the Ancient Forest in a new capsule house, due to his old one being destroyed by Lance. No other Pixtopians are aware of where his new home is.

Red's 5th LSW Tournament Saga
(To be written)

Power
In his first appearance, Rezzie already shows a high level of power in comparison to others. Rezzie was given an official battle power level of 3,120 during the 3rd tournament, surpassing even Onis during Rah's invasion, with the only fighter to surpass him at the time being his partner, Ba'rard, with a power level of 3,480. As currently stands to the present day, while not the strongest, Rezzie is certainly without ego among the top 5 strongest heroes in Pixtopia.

Rezzie was capable of combating Randy (who had a power level of 720 during the 2nd tournament) while holding back. He struggled to face Randy and Ethan at the same time, though it's likely Rezzie was holding back, as he only lost due to ring out and is more than capable of fighting others who are actually equal to his power. When facing Fernando and Koba, they underestimated Rezzie's power believing Ba'rard was the bigger threat. Rezzie was able to catch Fernando off guard while he was busy fighting Ba'rard. Even when facing off against Koba, who's Fernando's partner and likely rivaling him in power, Rezzie managed to beat via knockout rather than ring out. Once Rezzie had to battle Onis and Nicole, Rezzie was capable of equally matching Onis who was considered a candidate of the "strongest fighter in Pixtopia." Rezzie did lose to Nicole but it was only due to having her break out of his guard and by ring out, not by being overpowered by Nicole. When Rezzie faces Pix-Bot, both Rezzie and Ba'rard individually struggle to beat the robot. Though once Rezzie and Ba'rard charge up and attack Pix-Bot together, they were capable of destroying the robot.

After an unknown time has passed since the 3rd tournament, Rezzie has gotten stronger since then. Rezzie was able to defeat both Lance and Raishin even before wearing his Exotype armor. Although, Rezzie does note that neither were using their true power due to the magic spell the witches used on them prevents them from using their full potential. Once he does wear his Exotype armor, all of his abilities and power increases. He manages to take down Lance and Raishin a second time faster than before. Rezzie was also capable of killing the witches anytime he wanted but instead gave them a chance to retreat.

During the 4th tournament, Rezzie was considered as the 10 strongest fighters to participate in Evil Red's tournament. Rezzie managed to move Evil Red from his position as his first challenge, although he was suppressed at the time. Rezzie then had to battle a Neo-Pixel Fighter that Evil Red summoned. Fernando and Alonzo noted that Rezzie was more than capable of defeating it, of which a normal Red Neo-Pixel Fighter a power level of 500. Although, this Purple Neo-Pixel Fighter was strong enough to make Rezzie struggle to bit, causing him to get serious, having to rely on his duplication technique in order to beat it. Afterward, Rezzie had to battle an Evil Raijin, being one of the last strongest fighters in Pixtopia. Both were equal in power, although Rezzie was likely holding back in order from not wanting to kill Raijin. Even when feeling exhausted from fighting Raijin, Rezzie managed to survive an energy beam pierced through his torso by Fernando. Even after fighting throughout the tournament, feeling exhausted and dmaged by Fernando, he managed to hold his own and fight on par with Raijin and double team Evil Red. However, even with the help of others, Rezzie was unable to defeat Evil Red.
