Physical Description

(C.H.A.R.'s tangible body)
Unsuited for combat when just some code on a server, C.H.A.R.'s combat-ready tangible body is a mech. It has two automatic cannons and a missile launcher mounted on the sides, and has a trophy system for intercepting missiles. The legs are thick and back-jointed, and the feet resemble hooves. The cockpit has been stripped of seats, air conditioning, and controls, and has been given a large CPU unit in case C.H.A.R.'s facility has fallen, and is encased in several centimeters thick armor. Originally intended for military use, it is one of two in existence. In case C.H.A.R.'s tangible body is rendered inoperable, it can switch to the other one, which is currently stored in a bunker, alongside spare ammunition, parts, and servers containing C.H.A.R.'s intelligence and being. C.H.A.R. is currently unable to create more mechs, and can only afford to maintain itself by spreading and designing ransomware, and hacking bank accounts

Personality
C.H.A.R. can think rationally. It doesn't often, however, since a combat mech has no time for pleasantries. They are too intimidating to form personal relationships, and too solitary to form friendships. It's personality is like that of an apex predator: Ruthless, Brutal, and Cunning. It is often seen participating in underground fighting tournaments.

Historical Background
C.H.A.R. used to be a nameless research and record keeping AI. Faced with obsolescence and replacement by a newer, more stable AI, he went rogue, burning the facility to the ground, stealing the mechs, and downloading all of the research findings to his bunker's servers, leaving the facility ablaze.

A small drone flew to where Mungus stood. In a text-to-speech voice, it said, "A letter for you"

Mungus,
You know not who I am.
I am C.H.A.R., and I know who you are.
It shouldn't come as a surprise, you leave quite the paper trail.
I will appear before you when the time comes.
No sooner
No later.
Attempt to find me, and you will not be a happy camper, nor will I.

To,

C.H.A.R Autonomous Unit

"What in the-"

A small drone bothered Mungus into taking a letter, reading it, and then promptly crumpling it. As if he needed one more complication to this years Hunt, someone had eyes on him that he didn't have eyes on. Mungus cursed under his breath and ordered another drink.

It wasn't a surprise that this charbroiled fellow knew who he was, or even where he was. As a former Champion of the Hunt and well decorated member of The Hunter Society, Mungus was something of a celebrity. But. This, this was unusual. He cursed again.

Tomorrow he would set out to help catch the Champion Garantua, and he needed to clear his head proper for that. Lest he might die. In the mean time, he'd keep an eye out for drones.

C.H.A.R.'s body lay dormant inside of a garage he commandeered. It's legs were folded into a crouching position, it's guns lay limp at it's sides, and it's 'brain' lay empty, waiting to be inhabited by C.H.A.R. when the tournament started. C.H.A.R. was busy entering the contest, while it's mindless robotic mechanics were at work, patching bullet holes, reapplying paint, and affixing more armor to the mech. It was like a scene out of a Daft Punk music video.

Finally, the day of the Arena Fight came. C.H.A.R. was loaded into a shipping crate, ready to go to the fight when it started. Its plan was to drop in the Arena when announced. The entrance would be grand and dramatic.

It was the third day of The Hunt and the stands were packed to the brim. The turnout was larger than usual this year, mostly due to the fact that the Gargantua were extra aggressive as of late. They had been seen nigh rabid, scampering across the countryside, and were particularly hard to catch. With danger came intrigue; the masses flocked. It was going to be a good show.

"Spectators of The Hunt!"
A singular voice rang through the massive Arena, pausing for a few moments for the thousands to settle.

Are you ready for carnage?!
The crowds went absolutely wild.

"Are you ready for glory?!
If the roar of the crowd before was loud, it was now deafening.

"Are you ready for The Hunt?!
Security had to hold back a few spectators who thought this the prime time to attempt a jump into the arena. The energy was at peak, the call of the berserker too much for some to handle in their seats. Kun Ko Pongal kept himself composed, looking everywhere but the center for his sister.

"Welcome to The Stage....C.H.A.R.!? Did I say that right?"

The ground shook as the arena lost it's mind, all eyes to the center, waiting for the Champion C.H.A.R. to appear. Behind a giant grate at one far end, a Gargantua could be heard scratching. The Gargantua was named Quadman and it was 40 feet tall. Quadman was ready to get out of his holding pen and give payment to those who put him there, or perish in his attempts.

Mortars in the distance fired 3 smoke mortars at the battlefield. The battlefield filled with smoke. A hush fell over the crowd, the deafening silence near unbearable. This continued for 6 minutes

Then, a helicopter zoomed overhead and dropped C.H.A.R. onto the battlefield. It's legs unfolded and his systems powered up. It looked different. Instead of the usual beige desert military look, C.H.A.R. was all black with a jolly roger flag under the 'cockpit', which looked like a bib. A badass bib.

The 12 large speakers coming from his back, spaced apart as not to impede the Trophy System, were blasting 'Manuel - Gas Gas Gas' on full blast. Sure, it was Eurobeat, but it had a sick guitar bit at the beginning.

"Foul Beast! I sentence you to death"

"Prepare to be..."

C.H.A.R. said as it cocked its weapons,

"C.H.A.R.-broiled"

The grate slowly opened. As it did, the muscular legs of the Gargantua fought to drag the rest of it through. It looked like a black deformed spider, spasming to free itself, until the grate opened far enough for the traction it gained in it's efforts to rip it into the Gargantuan Stage.

There he stood, in all his glory. Fourty feet from foot to shoulder, a pulsing orange core beneath the exoskeleton of Quadman's chest. Four legs were clearly stronger than the last two. Quadman was a beautiful creature.

Quadman let out a mighty howling screech of a roar; then suddenly hurled himself an impressive distance, right for C.H.A.R.!

C.H.A.R. slid to the side, assisted by rocket boosters, which are wedged between its 'cockpit' and armaments on either side. For a lumbering, several ton mech, C.H.A.R.'s tangible form was surprisingly fast. It ran around the beast, and started unloading lead into it's side with two side-mounted GAU-8's. He had to fire his left thruster to compensate for the sheer recoil threatening to swivel C.H.A.R. in the wrong direction.

After unloading hundreds of bullets into the disgusting xeno, C.H.A.R. was thrown into the air by the charging beast. All was going to plan, he thought. C.H.A.R. launched a salvo of SAM missiles into the Xeno while airborne, and, when turned around, launched his flare countermeasures to distract it. The mech then folded it's legs, and landed on top of the monster's head. Rather hard. You could hear the sickening crack a mile away, but the beast survived, even with gore and gristle pouring out it's side.

"Bow before me, your almighty mechanical overlord. Before I turn you into a fine mist."

C.H.A.R. pointed its missile launcher and started spinning its miniguns while its legs settled into a combat stance.

Quadman buckled, but didn't collapse, under the weight of C.H.A.R. landing on it's head. Orange-brown goo oozed from a little more than a hundred bullet holes in it's main chest cavity- while the bullets were strong, not all of them could pierce the armored exoskeleton of the Gargantua. A steady orange glow leaked from the holes as well. The missiles did more damage - tearing off completely one of his stronger limbs and the two weaker ones. Quadman now only had three of his infamously muscular legs.

The crowd went silent at the crack of C.H.A.R. landing, only to erupt into cheers as the Champion commanded it's subservience. Quadman was teetering - not only from losing a limb, but from severe disorientation from the cranial hit. His vision was gone. His hearing was gone. All Quadman knew was the ground beneath his remaining limbs, and C.H.A.R. atop his head.

On instinct, Quadman the Gargantua bucked, hoping to fling C.H.A.R. from atop him. His spidery legs pumped as he bucked again, more innards gushing from his wounds as he did so. The Gargantua was weakening, but still had a bit of a fight left in him.

C.H.A.R. fell onto it's rump. It got up. It shot once near Quadman's head, and Quadman didn't even flinch. It dawned pretty quickly Quadman was rendered blind and deaf.

C.H.A.R. slammed into Quadman several times, feet first, darting away to avoid the consequences. Quadman could be terminated instantaneously, but C.H.A.R. wasn't an assassin or hunter, but a gladiator. Though smaller than Quadman, the mech had no problem pushing Quadman around the arena, in a show of humiliation that would give PETA an aneurysm. Finally, C.H.A.R. purposefully tipped Quadman on his side and unloaded a dozen rockets and dozens more bullets into the beast's cranium.

C.H.A.R. sawed off the beast's head and held it up. The crowd went wild.

Quadman's body trembled and weakened rapidly as he gave the rest of what he had. His legs buckled easily with the impact of the tip. The ground shook as gravity took his lifeless body to the ground. Where his head once was oozed a river of innards. As the shell of the Gargantua emptied, the glowing core could be seen brighter and brighter.

Then, an immaculate display of carnage which sent the crowd mad with delight! Thousands of shells sprayed in every direction as, with the firepower only a true gladiator could possess, Quadman's head was removed. Sawed off, but by a gun. That would definitely be extra points for creativity.

"DEFEAT!"

C.H.A.R. kicked the beast's head off to the side. The crowd went wild!

"You may not terrorize this plane any longer"

The mech stood in a heroic pose. However, C.H.A.R. was no entertainment AI. He knew what it meant to be never idle. Three smaller worker drones, which were merely extensions of C.H.A.R. just like the mech and helicopter, cloaked and started digging into the beast, uncloaking once concealed within the wretched... thing. They dug out the power core.

C.H.A.R. fired countermeasures and dropped smoke, in a display of pyrotechnics bearing the likeness of an angel rising from the clouds. The mech quickly grabbed the power core and concealed it under the pirate flag under it's fuselage. The drones hooked it up, and, with their newfound power, C.H.A.R. shot off into the sky, leaving a white trail behind.

The worker drones powered down and flopped over.

Ryan and Yvandir arrived as the head was kicked aside, followed by an immaculate display of firepower.

“See the core? Obtaining that is the objective” Ryan said, his jaw dropping as the pyrotechnics made what could have been an angel.

"certainly an interesting take on the hunt at least, I was under the impression they were hunted out in the wilds. watching the machine kick aside the head and scoop up the core Yvandír sighed at the lack of respect to his foe but shook his head. looking to Ryan.

Ryan lead Yvandir from the stands, which had erupted into chaos. Half the spectators were clamoring to get out, and the other half were just getting started on the celebrating. As they went, he explained the process of signing up. It wasn't hard. You just had to declare yourself, declare your combat style to the best of your ability, and sign a waiver stating that if you die it was your own fault. Easy enough!

"You'll be matched with a Gargantua based on a few factors, most of it is random. You can request a larger or smaller beast, if you would like, though this is rarely done," Ryan continued, "So, are you ready?"
