Extended Story

There is little known about the activities and end goals of QUASARS. All that is known is that they are an organization that works in the shadows, developing various technologies, original or stolen, for an unknown purpose. One such creation is a modified copy of the Reaper Unit that activated sometime before the start of the Battle Craze Tournament Series. By excavating the other inactive Reaper Units at the bottom of the Gibraltar Sea, they could be examined for the sake of copying their data for a new model. This would lead into the production of QUASARS’ own Reaper Unit, QUASARS REAPER. The beta would be put through various tests, mostly in physical capability as well as efficiency with weapons and surveillance. The beta would struggle to complete these tests after failing each one, and because of this, the beta was berated by the harsh words that it wasn’t strong enough to truly become something. The beta internalized all that was said to him to prove his creators wrong, but still fell short on these tests. After a while, the tests had stopped, and the beta was put on shutdown for a prolonged amount of time. When the beta was activated again, it was eager to prove itself once more, but was welcomed by some competition. During the beta’s shutdown, QUASARS was developing new, experimental kinds of units, the QUASARS REAPER-Scanner, a unit that specializes in long range combat with 360 degree lock on, and the QUASARS REAPER-Splitter, a lizard-like unit that attacked enemies by instinct, with morphable claws and an aerodynamic design. The beta had a feeling he would be replaced, and had quietly complied with the new testing phase to figure out what to do from here on out. Luck had it out for the beta, as he would be given his first task to survey the happenings of the Battle Craze Tournament, and along with him one of the QREAPER-Scanners and QREAPER-Splitters to act as backup. The beta gladly obliged, taking this time to cut off external communications with QUASARS and run free. If QUASARS wanted to see how strong he was, he was going to do it, by smashing the competition at the Battle Craze Tournament Series, and to dominate the world.

Concept

QREAPER ties in with the organization QUASARS, and is meant to convey a personal struggle for Reaper themself about their purpose as well. QUASARS was meant to be teased for Battle Craze at some point, and luck would turn its head with the addition of Side-S. Once la tirania was pitched as a character with a distinct appearance, QREAPER and Robo-Tsugumi were pitched as candidates for the same treatment.

Trivia

  • QREAPER has very slight differences in his overall appearance compared to Reaper. QREAPER’s armor is slightly blockier than Reaper’s. While this couldn’t be conveyed in the sprites due to size and a lot of work for one detail like this, it can be done in the art.
  • QREAPER’s moveset was inspired by a rejected Killer Instinct DLC character, a rushdown version of the zoner, Glacius, named Kelvin.
