The doors of the Baxter Building were flung open with such a great force of strength (and annoyance), that you surely wouldn’t have expected the 4 foot tall ‘raccoon’ to be the culprit.  Rocket was drenched from head to toe, and removed the small flora colossus from his shoulder for only a brief moment to shake out his fur like any animal hybrid might do to dry off.  He didn’t seem to take notice, or possibly didn’t care, about who might be in the splash zone.

Placing Groot back onto his left shoulder, Rocket sighed heavily with relief. “All right, Groot.  Let’s go get me drunk as a bitch.”  He paused, making his way into the party.  “You can have a water.  What did you expect me to say?  You’re a frikken’ tree, man.”

UNSAVED HQ - INTRO

The dust has settled, Thanos is gone. But look, in the distance, isn’t that 89P13? Otherwise known as ROCKET. He is an unknown number of years old, and goes by HE/HIM. You will know him by his menacingly furry face and chaotic nature. Could he have been saved? ( Mel, 26, she/her, GMT, Rocket Raccoon (movies) )

PERSONALITY (in detail)

PERSONALITY:

DUE TO THE INHUMANE EXPERIMENTS DONE TO HIM, ROCKET BECAME BITTERLY, EVEN BITINGLY SARCASTIC AND CYNICAL, AS WELL AS GENERALLY MISANTHROPIC, BUT IN RECENT YEARS SEEMS TO HAVE ADOPTED A MORE CALM AND TEMPERAMENTAL DEMEANOUR.

HE IS EASILY ENRAGED AND EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE, WHICH, IN TURN, MAKES HIM EXCEEDINGLY TRIGGER-HAPPY WITH AN INNATE DESIRE FOR VIOLENCE.  DESPITE HIS TOUGHNESS, HE ALSO POSSESSES A CRUEL AND SLIGHTLY MORBID SENSE OF HUMOUR.

ROCKET HAS AN OBSESSION WITH PROSTHETIC LIMBS, FINDING IT HUMOROUS TO STEAL THEM - ESPECIALLY WITHOUT THE POSSESSOR KNOWING.

HE APPEARS TO PRIDE HIMSELF ON HIS ABILITIES AND PROFESSIONALISM.  A TRUE CRIMINAL, ROCKET HAS A HIGHER SENSE OF SELF-PRESERVATION AND INTERESTS THAN THE REST OF THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.  HE WILL CAVE INTO PESSIMISM AND PANIC IN A SITUATION THAT IS OUT OF HIS DEPTH.

THOUGH HE DISPLAYS A SOMEWHAT HEROIC PERSONALITY, ROCKET STILL HAS A DISTORTED VIEW OF THE LOGICAL AND ETHICAL BOUNDARIES OF THE LAW.   FOR EXAMPLE, HE BELIEVES IF HE WANTS A POSSESSION MORE THAN THE CURRENT POSSESSOR OF SUCH AN ITEM, IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO STEAL IT FROM HIM. ROCKET WAS DRIVEN BY MONEY BEFORE HE JOINED THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY AND THAT TRAIT STILL REMAINS WITH HIM, BUT HE HAS SHOWN HIMSELF TO BE MORE COMPASSIONATE AND LESS GREEDY AS TIME GOES ON.  HE DOES NOT RESORT TO STEALING AS HE USED TO AND OPTS FOR MORE ACCEPTABLE METHODS, SUCH AS NOTING IF THEY SAVED THE GALAXY TWICE, THEY COULD INCREASE THE FEE FOR THEIR SERVICES.

ROCKET IS ALSO STUNNINGLY INTELLIGENT.  HE IS ABLE TO CONCEIVE VERY COMPLEX, INTRICATE PLANS IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.   HOWEVER, HIS GENIUS IS OCCASIONALLY SUPERSEDED BY HIS EMOTIONS WHICH APPEAR TO BE EXCEEDINGLY STRONG.

DEEP DOWN, ROCKET IS INCREDIBLY LONELY AND CARRIES OVERWHELMING PAIN OVER THE EXPERIMENTATION THAT WAS PERFORMED ON HIM BEFORE HE WAS A MERCENARY. HE COVERS HIS INSECURITIES WELL, BUT ONCE HE IS DRUNK, HE BECOMES VERY EMOTIONAL AND IF POSSIBLE, EVEN MORE VIOLENT, IMPLYING THAT THE EXPERIMENTS DONE TO HIM WERE TORTUROUS. IT IS PERHAPS BECAUSE OF THIS LONELINESS AND PAIN THAT HE DESPISES BEING DERIDED AS A RODENT OR VERMIN.

DESPITE ROCKET’S APPARENT DISLIKE OF PEOPLE, HE IS EXCEEDINGLY ATTACHED TO GROOT, AND IS THE FIRST KNOWN INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND GROOT WHEN HE SPOKE, EVEN WHILE EVERYONE ELSE ONLY HEARD ‘I AM GROOT.'

AS HE GOT TO KNOW HIS FELLOW GUARDIANS BETTER, HE BECAME MUCH MORE PROTECTIVE OF THEM.

QUILL’S TASTE IN MUSIC SEEMS TO HAVE RUBBED OFF ON ROCKET AS HE SEEMS TO ENJOY LISTENING TO SONGS FROM STAR-LORD’S ERA, ESPECIALLY WHILE WORKING.
