Dr. Merlot and Mutant Stargazer By CapricornGuy Watch

My ideal version of Dr. Merlot from RWBY Grimm Eclipse, one that I can see as a playable character in any hack-n-slash/fighting game.



The weapon I give him is a 4-barrel serum injector that can deal tremendous poison damage or mutate Grimm enemies directly. (And by default, every Mutant Grimm would be an ally to him.) The two "barrier rings" around the injector are there so that Merlot may use it as a blunt weapon.



He is also armed with a limited supply of serum grenades that have the same effect as his injector of course, but with an explosive radius, go figure. Merlot himself is immune to their explosions.



(My headcanon for the above would be that he has a Semblance that can make him immune to any kinds of toxins/drugs/related chemicals. Personality-wise it may be metaphorical to Merlot being able to embrace and appreciate humanity's banes, while others cannot.)



And last but not least, he moves around by hovering on a floating Grimm starfish (I'm leaning towards the name "Stargazer" for now). Its arms can spin around its center like a wheel and it can shoot "star-bolts" (or plasma spheres) from the tips of its arms that home in on the closest targets.
