Rocket's NPCs

*Name*: Groot



*Occupation*: Guardian of the Galaxy, Mercenary, and Bounty Hunter



*Relation to Character*: Rocket’s Best Friend



*Powers*:



Flora Colossus Physiology- as a member of the tree-like species he is incredibly durable and very strong while remaining surprisingly agile for his size. He can also regenerate with relative ease, regrowing severed limbs in hours and even regenerating his entire form from a single twig. With proper soil and watering he can regrow from almost complete annihilation, albeit after having to progress from adolescence to adulthood once more. He can also alter his size, adding mass to be larger and stretching great distances.



Form Manipulation- Groot can control every portion of his body allowing him to form structures such as a bark shield, vine-like tendrils/whips, and spiked branches. This also extends to creating flowers and bioluminescent spores that can light an area.





*Description*: Groot is normally a tall, friendly looking tree-like being…unless he is regenerating from a short twig in which case he is a small, adorable, friendly looking tree-like being. He has kind eyes, a welcoming smile, and is a sensitive soul. Exuding a type of endearing innocence, Groot is not the pushover he may appear to be. Despite his kind, helpful, and at times immature nature Groot is a force to be reckoned with should you threaten his friends or intend harm to good people. He often acts as Rocket’s conscience, urging him to do take the high road. As the last Flora Colossi, he caries with him the memories of his entire species and possibly, the ability to bring them back. Since regenerating he has taken an extreme liking to the music Star Lord listens too, happily dancing along…unless Drax is looking at him.



*Short History*: The last of the Flora Colossus of Planet X, Groot at some point encountered Rocket Raccoon, shortly after Rocket’s escape from Halfworld. Since then he has traveled the galaxy with Rocket acting as his best friend and muscle whenever a bounty hunting job requires some added strength. Groot and Rocket were apprehended by the Nova Corp while attempting to capture Peter Quill, but soon found themselves working with their would be quarry in order to save the galaxy from Ronan the Accuser and Thanos. Sacrificing himself to save his newfound family Groot spent the several weeks as a small, infantile plant, but still managed to save the day by activating the bomb that killed Ego. Since then he has grown back to full size and is enjoying the extended family that is the Guardians of the Galaxy.
