Scrooge McDuck

Name: Scrooge McDuck

Age: Over 150

Race: Duck

Title: The Wealthiest Waterfowl

Bio: Born in Scotland in the mid 1800's, Scrooge McDuck lived a peasant's life until he turned ten years old. He learned that his family was once very rich, but lost it all in time. This motivated him to earn his own fortune and redeem his family's name. After making his first money, which turned out to be American, not Scottish, he traveled to America and became a wealthy business tycoon. Over the course of his life, he managed to fill his whole vault with enough money to swim in, but he's also prepared to protect his vast, multi-quadrillion-dollar fortune.

Special Attacks:

-Stick It To 'Em: Scrooge takes his trusted cane and strikes the opponent in one of three ways...

LIGHT: Uppercuts them, then hops in the air and swings down at their head. Useful for starting combos.

MEDIUM: Repeatedly jabs the opponent with his cane.

HEAVY: Winds up like a baseball player and hits the opponent to the other side of the stage on a successful hit.

-Pogo Stick: Midair move. Scrooge will dive down with his cane pointing downward. He will bounce off the ground on contact and will damage any opponent he lands on. Can chain it up to three times.

-Hidden Cannon: Scrooge plugs his ears and turns away as a cannon pops out of the ground in front of him and blasts the opponent with a hi-speed cannonball. The cannon has a brief charge time in the form of a lit fuse, but it packs surprising power when it hits.

-Anti-Friction Ray: Scrooge pulls a raygun from his coat and fires a ball of energy that flies forward. It will do very minor damage, but if it hits the opponent, they will be unable to move from that spot, even when using an attack.

-Anti-Inertia Ray: Scrooge pulls a raygun from his coat and fires a cone of energy. If it hits an airborne opponent or projectile, it will slow down and lose a good bit of its strength if it hits him. It has a short range and small window of use, though.

Throws

FORWARD: Scrooge yanks the opponent down to eye level by the neck, then smacks them across the face with his cane a few times before letting them fall down in a heap.

BACKWARD: Scrooge jumps over the opponent, then jabs them in the back with his cane, causing them to arch in pain, then uses the loop of his cane to hook them around the neck and throw them to the ground.

Super Moves:

-Wave of Gold: Scrooge looks behind him, yelps in surprise, then darts past the opponent as a wave of pure gold coins surges across the whole stage, inflicting multiple hits on the opponent. The wave also goes very high, making it difficult to dodge.

-In fer a Beatin': Scrooge reaches out suddenly and, if the opponent is in arm's reach of him, he'll jerk them down to his level and jab them in the gut, repeatedly, with his cane. He then hooks their neck with his cane and proceeds to ragdoll them. Finally, he throws them up in a wide arc, races to the other side of the stage to meet them, winds up, and hits them to the other side like a homerun slugger.

FATALITIES:

-Price of Greed: Scrooge asks, "Yeh want me treasure?" then pulls out a large safe and answers "Here ya go, lad!" He then tosses the safe up in the air and the opponent screams as the safe falls right on top of them, crushing them into a bloody pulp. The door then swings open and Scrooge pulls out several money bags bearing a prominent dollar sign.

-McDuck's Artillery: Scrooge sneaks off and rolls a cannon in, lights the fuse, then turns away and plugs his ears. The opponent recovers from their dizziness, then looks at the cannon and recoils in surprise before...BOOM! The cannon fires an abnormally-large cannonball straight through their midsection, blowing their upper body clean off. The opponent's legs remain standing, then crumple to the ground.

Intro: Scrooge walks in, flipping through a few dollar bills, then notices the opponent, pockets them, and pats his cane in his palm in a menacing way.

Outro: Scrooge nods, then jumps in the air and comes back down on a pile of gold coins, disappearing inside it. He emerges, then spits a few out of his mouth.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Prologue: In his grand manor, Scrooge McDuck reveled in the glory of his vast treasury over 300 Quadrillion dollars strong. However, like the greed of any living being, Scrooge's knew no end. He yearned for adventure, both for the thrill of exploring a world that was new and alien, and treasures that were equally so. One day, out of the blue and to his utter horror, a wormhole opened in the floor of his vault and all the wealth that he worked so hard to achieve went down like water in a drain. Not wanting to lose a single coin, Scrooge dove in after it and into the world of Death Battle.

Rival Cutscene:

(Scrooge has a huge sack slung over his shoulder, so large in fact that he has to drag it across the ground. After a good effort, he stops and wipes sweat from his forehead.)

Scrooge: HOO! There's gotta be a better way to haul me treasure around...and I still only got a wee bit of it. (steps back to inspect the bag) From what I can gather, it's only about ten feet high...That's about...(goes red in the face with fury) TOO LITTLE, THAT'S WHAT IT IS!

(Scrooge runs his fingers through his "hair" and pulls a few feathers out, then tosses them into the air in frustration)

Scrooge: At the rate I'm goin', I'll be spendin' another lifetime gettin' me money back! (heaves a sigh in defeat) Well...just standin' here fumin' won't solve me problem. Best get back to it...

(Scrooge grabs the mouth of the bag and begins dragging it. Unbeknownst to him, the bag is getting smaller and smaller and its load is somehow disappearing. After some time, he notices...)

Scrooge: Huh. Coulda sworn me treasure bag was heavier than this-wait a minute...

(Scrooge turns to see his bag almost completely deflated, a huge gash in its side that's leaving a trail of golden objects. Realizing what has happened, Scrooge completely flips.)

Scrooge:NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! MY HARD-EARNED FORTUNE!

????: YES, you foulest of fowls! Treasure belongeth only to the noble and proud!

(Scrooge looks towards the source of the voice to see a familiar, blue-armored, ox-horned knight dragging his own hefty sack in one hand, and scooping up treasure with an iconic *gasp* SHOVEL.)

Scrooge: You spade-sportin' buffoon! Ye were the one who cut open me bag, weren'tcha?!

Shovel Knight: I dare not deny it. *points shovel at Scrooge* I'll let you know that I was the finest plunderer and seeker of treasure in the land! I shall not be outdone by a waterfowl whose motivation is mere avarice!

Scrooge: I spent me whole life collectin' and expandin' my fortune, riskin' life and limb for it! *pats cane into palm, threateningly* And I'm not about to let YOU walk away with it--NOT without a fight!

Shovel Knight: *releases bag and holds up shovel* As a knight and a champion of shovelry, I accept your challenge! HAVE AT THEE!

(Both rush each other, weapons of choice poised to swing. Fade to black.)

Ending: Scrooge returned to his world with, shockingly, only a fraction of his missing fortune in hand. However, he was more than able to make up for it by selling the artifacts and objects from other worlds. With his fortune restored, Scrooge opened a vast gallery of his victories and portraits of the worlds that his various treasures came from, all while enforcing a very strict "look, don't touch" policy.
