Rocket was naturally spawned into Playground and lived there for the majority of his life as a newspawn, but was forced to leave the region after an unknown incident cost him his arm and leg. In the process of leaving Playground, he met Zuka, whom he became very close with, and eventually became Rocket's guardian figure. Zuka brought him to Crossroads, where he has lived since. He then met Sword, who became his best friend. Sword would go on to introduce him to Medkit, who ended up making Rocket's prosthetic arm and leg for him. Rocket works with Zuka in their shop in the top layer of Crossroads, where the two of them provide artificial gear for other inphernals, as well as general handyman services. Rocket begrudgingly works with The Broker, who supplies the materials used for creating artificial gears and other weapons.[5] Personality Rocket is a hot-headed inphernal who can be very loud and confrontational. Despite his brash exterior, he is loyal to his loved ones and works extremely hard. Relationships Zuka Zuka and Rocket are very close, with Zuka being one of the few people Rocket actually cares about and serving as his adoptive caretaker. Rocket holds Zuka in extremely high regard, going so far as to carve his horns to resemble his caretaker's. Zuka helped Rocket grow out of his anger issues, allowing him to integrate better into life in Crossroads. Though they are close, there are some things they don't talk about—namely Zuka's hatred of the Swords.[6] Sword Although Sword and Rocket are now best friends, when they first met, Rocket viewed him as rather pathetic.[7]They were total opposites, and though Rocket did just about anything to get Sword to leave him alone, the two of them ended up becoming extremely close. They are seen together in Act 1 of Death in the Familyinvestigating Medkit's disappearance. Medkit Rocket met Medkit through Sword, and considers him a friend. Medkit made Rocket's prosthetics, and he thinks well of the other inphernal as a result.[8] Other relationships Rocket has seen Venomshank a few times in his life, primarily when the deity visited Zuka in Rocket's earlier years. He is wary of someone as tall as Venomshank, despite Sword's insistence that he is a "nice guy".[9] Rocket works with The Broker, but despises him. The Broker, in turn, likes messing with him.[10]
