Character Name: Rick Sanchez (C-137)
Character Age: 50's/60's
Canon: Rick and Morty
Canon Point: Post Season 2 Episode 3; Auto-Erotic Assimilation
History:
Here's a brief write out of major events; Unfortunately, with Rick being a Inter-dimensional traveler and with the show being spotty about his history, it's a bit hard to pin-point major events in his backstory. What we do know is; Rick walked out on his family twenty years prior to the pilot episode. He left while his daughter Beth was 15. Due to a few pictures we saw in "Get Schwifty" we at least know he came back once after Morty was born, but that time frame is a little hazy due to the whole "gone for twenty years" statement and Morty being 14 (at the moment). There are a few other pictures that show that he's pretty good friends with Birdperson and that he was a former musician. When he left it's apparent he went onto inter-dimensional/inter-galactic traveling, which is why he's managed to form so many contact through the years. That being said, Birdperson seems to be his closest one, and he seems to know far more about Rick and his past than Rick's own family.
When he came back into Beth's life he started taking her son on "adventures" with him to different galaxies and dimensions. Which, basically starts to desensitize Morty to the harsher aspects of the universe. It progresses slowly on adventures up until Rick Potion #9. When Rick gives Morty a love potion for Jessica (Morty's love interest) and it winds up not only making her fall in love with Morty, but it spreads like a virus (due to her being sick.) Attempting to fix the whole thing Rick accidentally turns everyone on the planet into blob monsters he dubbed "Cronenbergs". After failing to fix their world, they travel to another dimension where they had died moments before. However, no one notices that this happened except for the two of them. (Except Summer when Morty tells her).
The finer details of his history can be outlined in episode summaries, rather than making this really long winded I'll also link a detailed episode list and a Wiki link!

Personality:
"Take it from me, ice, you can't just float around space not caring about stuff forever"
Before I get started, it's worth noting that Rick is a man who has lived (and lives) a very, very full life. He's seen and met multiple versions of himself. He's seen himself die, even buried his body-- He's seen his family and friends die and has traveled across different galaxies and dimensions. It's safe to say he's seen a lot of shit and because of that it's easy to take him at face value. He's an uncouth alcoholic asshole with sociopathic tendencies, but his nature belies a more intricate and complex character. Granted, it's not very often you'll see a deeper side of him and because of that it makes him an easy guy to hate.
"What is my purpose?
You pass butter.
Oh, my god.
Yeah, welcome to the club, pal."
Like his cynicism, his nihilism go hand in hand. He doesn't believe in a god, or a higher purpose and will constantly berate people for believing in "idiotic" things. When you're the self-proclaimed (and unmatched) smartest person in the galaxy, it's easy to find yourself being skeptical of anything omnipresent. He started treating everyone like they were beneath him and have gone out of his way to even screw over the devil. However, intelligence like this has it's downfalls. Rick displays very lonely qualities, he completes any benign tasks his family asks of him if he means he can take Morty with him on adventures-- He'll even reluctantly stop whatever he's doing if it means Morty will come back to him (Ergo, Morty leaving Blips and Chitz so he can help save "Fart".) Although, this is not always the case. If he's in the middle of overindulging he's more inclined to not care about his grandkids leaving.
"What about the reality where Hitler cured cancer, Morty? The answer is don't think about it."
His drug and alcohol abuse is something that is constantly hinted at or just blatantly brought up. He spends most of his life intoxicated and it's normal for him to be this way since his family never really says anything about it. It's a form of escapism and his tact is usually "don't think about it", but most, if not all of his feelings are very internal. Considering Birdperson stated that one of the quotes he usually says "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub" stands for "I am in great pain, please help me." It's safe to assume his standoffish and his general un-caring attitude are a well designed cover. For him, it's just easier to not think about it and keep being as crass as he can be.
"Listen, Morty, I hate to break it to you, but what people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage."
Deep down in Rick's core nature he's overtly cynical. After his failing marriage, or at least after his feelings for his wife presumably faded he delved deeper into science and exploration. When he stumbled upon multiple versions of himself, and multiple possibilities it's safe to assume he became desensitized to everything. He put himself above everything and everyone else, because in the end he had nothing but himself to rely on. After all, he was always right (self admittedly). Because of this, most of the relationships he's made are very factitious and rely more on a "party" environment rather than actual connections. A good example of this is an entity called Unity. It's something he was obviously completely infatuated with, but he's blinded by his own narcissism to understand that it's not only damaging to himself, but to Unity as well.
"Who? Oh, Unity. Yeah, well... I mean, honestly, we're talking about an entity that thrives on enslavement, you know? It's not cool. Fun's fun, but who needs it?"
The after effects of of that relationship shows that he's a bit more affected by things than he'd like to be. Unity's goodbye message upset him enough for him to sound and act uncharacteristically distraught. No matter how unaffected he tries to be by things there are a number of things that really eat at him. He eventually tries to kill himself, only botching the attempt when he passes out milliseconds before his machine goes off. However uncharacteristic this may seem, it's not the first time he's been self destructive. He's got a deep self-loathing aspect to him that crops up every time he's faced with death and he sacrifices himself for Morty in "A Rickle in Time" telling him to good, better than he was.
"You're crying? Over a Morty?
No, I'm just allergic to dipshits."
Speaking of Morty, out of all the people he's formed relationships with, Morty is one of the strongest ones. So strong that it's a bond that stretches across multiple dimensions. A Rick will always have a Morty and because of that most Ricks are incredibly uncaring and treat Morty as if he's expendable. One Morty even goes as far as to say "Ricks don't care about Morties", but for C-137 Rick it's not exactly true. There are multiple instances where he's been not only over protective of his grandson, but has sacrificed himself to make sure his grandson was safe. When "Evil" Rick was going to kill him, he gets teary over seeing pictures of him with Morty as a child, which is a bout of emotion we never really see Rick express. He actively seems to care about Morty's opinion as well, going as far as to even ask him what he thinks about his spacecraft in the pilot, or what he thought of the shows from the multiverse. Granted, having all these feelings internally doesn't exactly mean expressing them is one of his strong points. He chooses to berate and degrade Morty constantly, rather than compliment him.
The other person he's incredibly attached to would be his daughter, Beth. She's one of the only characters, if not THE only character that he's never been rude or negative to. Much like his relationship with Morty, it's one that has stretched through multiple realities. Except, unlike his relationship with Morty, every version of Rick that has ever met Beth has acted the same around her.
"Two things I want to make clear to everybody in this room never betray me, and it's time to go."
As for everyone else? It's incredibly easy for someone to get on his bad side. He doesn't take too kindly to betrayal, nor does he appreciate people who try to make him look like an idiot. He's the type of guy that will willingly destroy an entire species to make sure he can come out on top and the kicker is he doesn't exactly feel remorse for anything he's done. He intentionally lies to Morty so his grandson will shoot (and kill) the security guards just so they can escape. He doesn't really care about how the event would traumatize Morty, so as long as they save their own skin (more importantly HIS own skin).
All things considered Rick is the type of guy that really burns the candle at both ends. He's Abrasive, Overbearing, Selfish, narcissistic and understands one and only one principle in life. "Look out for number one." With, well, number one being himself. While he does put his trust in other people, he's quick to turn on them if they even remotely try to throw him under the bus. He does, however, have a soft spot for Morty, Summer (remotely) and Beth, and will go to lengths to make sure Morty makes things out okay. It's not a stretch to say that Morty brings out some of his better qualities, especially with how different the two are.

Power & Abilities:
Intelligence: While it's not really a power, it's extremely noteworthy due to just how intelligent this man is. He's been capable of building an entire working spacecraft out of junk he found in the garage. He states he builds robots for fun and has figured out how to create just about anything his family asks, with time travel being his only real limitation. He's the type of guy that uses an accelerated scientific method. He completely skips writing down formulas and peer feedback to accomplish anything he sets his mind to in a matter of minutes or hours. Regardless of his ability to create things, it's also his quick wit that helps him get out of negative situations. He's a fast thinker and will put anything within arms reach to use in order to save his own skin. The kicker is even though he's mostly drunk while doing all this, he's still an incredibly functional alcoholic.
Portal Gun: This gun is an inter-dimensional/inter-galactic traveling device. It's his go-to item and something he is never really seen without (unless someone jacks it from him). I know inter-dimensional travel isn't allowed and I assume inter-galactic would be incredibly nerfed to the point of it being a teleportation gun, rather than what it originally was. The downfall of bringing this into the game is that the juice will eventually run out and the chances of getting more are nigh impossible beyond requesting it. I'm willing to bring it in completely trashed just so he could later fix it (if possible)!
Mr. Meeseeks box: Is my alternative to the portal gun. It's basically a summon box. With a push of a button you can summon your own Mr. Meeseeks! Their purpose is to literally help you with whatever task you've asked of it, however you have to keep it simple because the only way Mr. Meeseeks can "die" is if they complete your task, and dying is what their goal is. The task could be anything to opening a stuck lid on a jar or making your life feel more complete by listening and giving advice on your problems! Warning: Mr. Meeseeks need their task to be simple, because if they can't complete it they might go crazy and try to kill you.
Durability: For someone in their late 50's/early 60's, he's a pretty durable guy. He can take a punch and be perfectly fine and be completely functional after the fact. He's also pretty nimble for his age, being able to run for a pretty long while without being winded and with his drug/alcohol use, you'd think it'd have some negative effects, but none are really seen thus far (in terms of physical effects, anyway).

Inventory:
- ⇥ Flask (Including whatever alcohol he had in it).
⇥ Portal Gun ( It'll be incredibly nerfed, probably doubling as a teleportation gun allowing him to only go up to a mile radius)
⇥ Mr. Meeseeks box ( In the event having a broken portal gun is better than having a super nerfed one. Eventually he could fix the broken portal gun, right?)
⇥ His clothes.
Game Plan:
Rick's process is about experience, rather than progress or anything that would be lacking self-importance. So, considering this type of character his game plan is a little hard to pin down. He has very anti-establishment roots. He's never been one for governments, he doesn't respect bureaucrats as living beings, so I can't see him even pretending to be an asset. I see him siding more with the insurgents than anything, only because he could probably play more rogue with that. It'd give him more freedom to not have to deal with the embodiment of a political power-- We're talking about a guy who refused to join a galactic council compromised entirely of himself, here. However, he's kind of like the kid in a group project that thinks they're too good or too smart to share their efforts with the rest of the group, and he'll probably be one hell of an asshole to work with or be around.
➺ LINK TO SAMPLES
As someone who has been to numerous galaxies, dimensions and is relatively familiar with several intergalactic and interdimensional shows, he's kind of hesitant to admit he's never seen or heard of this place. Yet, they somehow know of him and they've got the upper hand. It's almost ridiculous and it makes him internally frustrated-- Actually, beyond frustrated. Out of all the places he could have been kidnapped (hey, now. We're using this term loosely here) to, this is probably one of the least exciting ones. While there's information being shared with him, he's not really listening and it's outwardly apparent he's not. With arms crossed, face practically scrunched in a scowl he starts walking away mid-sentence. It's easy to overhear other people talking and from the sounds of it their noses are so far up the empire's ass every other word they say is about how "great" it is.
Well, at least from the looks of it, they've gathered a pretty diverse round-up of people. Yet, besides humans, it's still a mess of races he's never heard of before. God, just how deep in space was this place anyway? Well, walking away didn't really get him away from people trying to cram the idea of the Empire down his throat and within seconds another "all-knowing" asset wanted to share just how things were. Except, the guy must have been too excited because he managed to smack right into Rick.
"Are you kidding me? Y-you think I wanted to hear about it the first time?" Before the other guy even goes to open his mouth, Rick cuts him off. "Get your head out of the 'Empires' ass, think for yourself." Jesus Christ. The guy, obviously insulted, starts spouting off about other things and during the middle of his speech Rick's face starts to fall flat. "Yeah, you know what? I don't really care."
And away he goes.

May we use your application as an example if it's accepted? Ah! If you wanted to, but I'm sure there are better apps out there to use.
(A couple of questions based on certain mechanics is that due to Rick's canon he'd probably be aware of the Empire, but I didn't put it in the sample because I don't want to infomod or anything. I assume, if I'm accepted, it's something we could talk about? Other than that, the other thing is you mentioned before that I could keep the gun if it was broken would it be something he could eventually fix as the game progresses?)
