introducing "Hellish Rick" --- aka V-037 (my Rick oc)
-
V-037 comes from an alternate dimension that mimics the appearances of "Hell". V-037 was never fond of his original dimension and it's suggested implications of spirituality, especially how the dimension's naturally occurring magical energy interfered with his scientific research. It didn't take long for V-037 to leave his original universe and family behind.
Despite his physical appearances, V-037 is much older than he appears. Due to his naturally accelerated healing capabilities, V-037 ages slower than some other universes, giving him a much younger appearance.
V-037 has an increased capacity for violence and aggression with a penchant for manipulation. He will not hesitate to use physical violence when others don't act in line with his values (or simply for his own personal sadistic pleasure)
Unlike most Ricks, V-037 did not return home to his original universe. Instead, V-037 continued to parade across the multiverse, corrupting and manipulating those he thought would be amusing to him (and killing them when they weren't).
V-037 is sadistic, ruthless, and cunning (but also simply just adorable).
Notes:
V-037's original dimension has a natural affinity for magic which he avoids relying on. Instead, he chooses to rely on science and the inventions he creates, only using magic in life-or-death situations.
V-037 has a tendency of cheating death and allowing the Glactic Federation to capture him, only to espace from the Galactic Deferation Prison in order to create more chaos.
V-037's sole priority is satisfying his own twisted amusement through whatever means necessary, even at the cost of his own safety.
I've seen people complain about Rick Prime's death being anticlimatic...but that's kinda the point, you're supposed to feel what Rick feels, decades of life, gone just like that. He has been buliding up to this for decades, probably fanitized about the moment where he finally takes revenge on Rick Prime, imagining this super epic battle. But that's it. It's just gone. Which is why Rick feels so unfullfilled, the excitment leading up to your revenge will always be more satisfying than the revenge itself, which is why Rick felt so empty afterwards, because it was anticlimatic, and we, as the audience, are supposed to feel it too.
