AROUND WE GO, THOMAS HOPPER

Power has always been Hopper’s main motivation in life. It’s a bug-eat-bug world out there, and Hopper always ensures he stays on top. Thomas Hopper was born into the Grasshopper biker gang. His father offered protection to Ant Island. In return, the mayor would give the Grasshoppers the supplies they need. When his father passed, Hopper took up the mantle as leader. However, he wasn’t as kind as his dad.  Hopper knew they needed the people of Ant Island more than they needed them. They were outnumbered, but as long as Hopper kept them in their place, their way of life wouldn’t change. Hopper became greedy. He expected the people of Ant Island to give more than what they had to please him. He would have gotten away with it had it not been for Flik Foley. The idiot inventor hired circus clowns to help fight back against the Grasshoppers. They underestimated just how much faith Flik had given them. The tides turned, and the people of Ant Island realized their power. With no way of controlling them, Hopper left.  His travels led him to Elias—well, what was left of it. By the time Hopper arrived, the city was rebuilding itself. He knew he couldn’t get ahead in a shiny utopia; however, there was a place where he could get his hands dirty. The Underland was still in its infancy when Hopper began making a name for himself. Word had gotten back to Hades of this newcomer. His ruthlessness piqued Hades’ interest. He needed the worst of the worst to be on his side, and Hopper fit the bill. The man was promised a seat at the table for a price. Hopper wasn’t used to not being in charge, but Hades made him a bargain he couldn’t refuse. He was given genetic enhancements from Vincent Frankenstein, finally being able to live up to the Grasshopper name. He was also given a division of his own to rule. There, Hopper built the Locust Fight Club. The Grasshoppers offered their protection for the people of the Underland. Those who couldn’t pay ended up in the fighting ring. They fought until their debts were paid off or they died trying.  Becoming a hell-barron was the greatest thing to happen to Hopper. Business had never been better. Sure, he cheated here and there to put more people in his debt, but Hopper was going to do what was needed. Ant Island was simply a speck now in the back of his mind. That is, until he caught wind of an overzealous inventor making his way around Elias. Surely, that pesky ant who ruined his life couldn’t have followed him here. Much to Hopper’s dismay, that seemed to be the truth. There was too much at stake now; Hades would tell Hopper not to lose sight of the big picture, but Hopper would argue that if Hades wasn’t going to rid him of his problem that threatened that picture, he would do it himself.  He wasn’t going to be outnumbered again.

I love when guys stomach muscles move like that!!!!!!!!!

Omg!!!!! I need to write for him, so so so badly. He might just pull me out of my low mood point 2.

hi, nonnie. i love any excuse to talk about the locust fight club and hopper. i will say when discussing hopper experimentation will be mentioned. so, please tread lightly if that's something that bothers you. this is all what i came up with when writing bios. whoever takes hopper is encouraged to build upon what's already been written. i'm a very visual person when it comes to world building. when writing the bio is imagined that the fight club is very similar to the fight club you see in the movie shang chi mixed with the aesthetic of a biker gang. there are fighting tiers. you have the lowest entries which most people don't care to see or are easier to make money on with bets and then you have the big tickets, which most of the entertainment comes from. the thing with hopper is that he offers protection with the grasshoppers. that's what he did on ant island. it's what he's doing in the underland. he also offers genetic enhancements. he had experiments done on himself to make him stronger. he can offer that to people as well to make them better fighters for a price. either way, these fighters owe hopper a debt. they repay him by being fighters in the pits. the better they are the more they benefit. whether it be in money, praise from hopper or short lived fame. people either fight until their debts are paid off or until they die. hopper has a habit of pulling strings so the latter happens. the souls of those who have passed are ultimately given to hades. that's the business hopper runs to stay a hell-baron. if hopper can't bring souls to hades, then he loses everything. *a general mood for the place can be found in hopper's character playlist.
