Ditron
Field Value Full Name Ditron Alias Gender Robot Age Unknown World Thread-Only Occupation Shock Trooper Status Alive (returned home) Role Participant Team Sunshine Over the Farm Edition Crab 1 Creator Unknown
For you, victory is no more, but for me? This is the FINAL COUNTDOWN.
Ditron is a participant of Crab 1, joining the team Sunshine over the Farm. An experimental shock trooper mutant created for war, he is the main muscle and apparent threat of his team (not counting Kathrine’s true form maybe) and also he is BASED AS FUCK.
Appearance
Personality
Ditron is a techno augmented mutant, he is a shock trooper that hit runs and hit again. Not very smart or strong or fast…but he doesn’t care because he knows that if he is harmed he can always be fixed with more metal.
Despite looking like some kind of fallout zombie, he is surprisingly chill - enjoys dancing, manages with cooking, and is friendly to every crab, even repeatedly offering Linda the opportunity of peace or adopting the feral Mooma at the end of his story.
Powers and Abilities
Ditron possesses some degree of super strength, likely, as he was able to break Linda’s chainsaw in two, as well as to quickly subdue her in close quarters up until she started pulling more extreme measures. He weighed two tons and when everything failed could easily throw his weight around to simply smash an opponent - he was also armed with a blade he likely inherited from the dead Nova. Being a shock trooper, he likely was well adept in both military strategy and weapon use.
He was a lousy cook but an excellent dancer.
Background
History
Round 1
Emily and Incel (lost, entry) vs Justin Franciscus Willemsma and Ditron (won, entry, part 2) in Dancing. Match page: C1 R1 - Emily and Incel vs Justin and Ditron
In Emily and Incel’s reality, Incel was bothered because he couldn’t dance and the cheerful Emily told him to just follow her step. She performed then some incredible ballet moves. Incel was baffled but seeing her hopes and excitement decided to give it a go, after which he jumped and landed on his back badly. He then wondered if he should kill all the Crabs seeing this. Conqueror then approached him and told him he sucked.
In Justin and Ditron’s canon reality, Ditron noted they were partners and wondered if Justin was skilled in dancing. Justin said he wasn’t but that he knew some moves from a friend, and both decided to jam. As the contest had begun, everyone and their opponents waited for them to appear, with Berbie suggesting to Wietse Justin had chickened out, but confident, Wietse said he wouldn’t, and in the end both appeared in dapper looks. Shouting that if they didn’t shoot they would never score, both began dancing like wild and won.
Round 2
Incel (lost) vs Ditron (won, entry) in Dessert. Match page: C1 R2 - Incel vs Ditron
In Ditron’s canon and only reality, Ditron congratulated his team’s effort and wondered who would make the dessert. Kathrine angrily pointed it was him, much to his frustration. He then began cooking while throwing insults and put the things in the oven while trying to calculate, making some muffins he resignedly admitted were not very good. Mooma in monster form, Wietse and Berbie were to try them, and when asked what he had for them Ditron responded shame. Berbie noted he had that all the time (foreshadowing for Crab 3). In the end they tried it, Berbie gave a 0,2, Wietse a 1, but Mooma enjoyed it and gave a ten with Berbie calling the point system bullshit… With 11,2 points, the judges moved to Incel. But Incel had decided not to show up because cooking was for women and just stayed in bed. Ditron then won by default, which he said was as planned.
After Nova’s death, he began wearing Nova’s hat left behind by Bodycount to honor his fallen teammate.
Round 3
Ditron (lost, entry) vs Linda May Lieu (won, entry). Match page: C1 R3 - Ditron vs Linda
In Ditron’s reality, the match began with psychological warfare - Linda told Ditron he sucked and he said no u. Linda then pulled a gun with him noting he always got the crazy ones, and as she shot, he deflected the bullets with his sword and charged at her. A powerful battle ensued with the commentators amazed at what they were seeing. Back to the fight, Linda had managed to punch Ditron now and mockingly asked if he was tired. He replied he was thinking… and acting, after which he pulled her leg and her down with it, him standing again. He stepped then over her, noticing he was two tons heavy - he began singing the Final Countdown to her frustration. The Gamemaster gave Ditron the victory although he was more busy dealing with Berbie who was attacked by a rabid Mooma. Linda asked Ditron to move out from the top of her but he asked for a few minutes more to enjoy his victory. Later he adopted the feral Mooma in exchange for a Pepsi.
In Linda’s canon reality, Linda prepared. Noting that Ditron was a brutal machine engineered for war, she said to herself she had to be worse than him in order to win. When the match began, Ditron instead noted the cupcake event before and that Linda had shown sympathy before, and hoped they would be able to reason. Linda entered the arena crazily brandishing a chainsaw. She began chasing Ditron with it - while his team complained it was unfair, the Gamemaster noted he had already vetoed many firearms, chemicals, and a man-packed howitzer, and that the Sunshine would have to manage. Cornered, Ditron grabbed and broke the chainsaw, but Linda did a spin and threw the rest of the weapon at him. Both damaged, Linda got Terriful to pass her a panzerfaust. Ditron instead got Nova’s sword, and his team pointed out the panzerfaust was likely a dud due to the tournament rules, although the Gamemaster not so convincingly noted he had approved it. The weapon was real, and when Ditron deflected its bullet it landed a big hole on the Bucket. As they moved to hand to hand combat, Ditron still tried to convince Linda to choose peace, but she rejected it as she was determined to leave the Bucket even if it meant killing him, seeing it as kindness. Linda began overpowering Ditron, noted his creation had been a crime and he was the victim, and due to his coolant systems being damaged, he was weakened and could not respond to the flurry of hits. Falling to the ground, he told Linda to chill out, and she smashed the broken chainsaw on his face, winning the match.
After that she eventually apologized and they had ice-cream, once her goal had been accomplished.
After Crab 1
After the tournament, Ditron was returned to his world thanks to Linda’s wish, bringing the feral Mooma with him.
