Name: The Unemployed (Formerly The Employee)
Race: Former Grandmaster
Gender: Still male, last time he checked
Color: He can't afford one these days.
Biography: Things had been going pretty well for the Employee. He had a great job at Grand Battles Inc. that paid quite well, and he was able to not just support The Wife and The Kids, but he was able to take them on vacations regularly and buy them plenty of nice gifts. He even had plenty of free time to spend with The Drinking Buddy.
Then The Boss gave him the news. The Machine could run the battle just as well as he could, but in half the time at a quarter of the cost.
There was no need for The Employee any more.
That was when he became The Unemployed, and everything got worse from there. The Wife left him and took The Kids with her. He holed up with The Drinking Buddy for a while, but that soon fell apart too when he couldn't afford his share of the rent.
He couldn't even get an interview, not that he was in any shape to clean himself up. Dejected, The Unemployed simply wandered the universe in a futile hope for a better life.
Until one day, when The Machine decided he was one of the eight most suitable candidates for the position of "Grand Battle Entrant".
Description: The Unemployed is a disheveled, unshaven human-looking entity in ragged clothes. He hasn't bathed in eons. His life has been miserable for so long that he's almost forgotten how to talk socially.
He's pretty irritable, and envious of everyone around him no matter how miserable their situation. They haven't been unemployed for the age of an entire universe, after all.
He will also take any opportunity to apply for a job, no matter how terrible it is, because it's the only way he has any chance of getting back on his feet.
Weapons and Abilities: Most of the Unemployed's power derives from his job. Since he doesn't have one, he's pretty weak. Sure, he's immortal, and hard to kill, and he could theoretically traverse the dimensions if the Machine wasn't keeping them sealed up. But in order to really do anything impressive, he'd have to get hired and be The Employee again.
If he were hired, he would promptly become the best employee ever to hold that position, gaining impossible competence to the point where he can complete tasks before he's actually assigned them. However, despite his best efforts a promotion would always remain out of his grasp, and if he were fired - or had to leave the job due to a sudden transport to another dimension, which most contracts simply don't cover - he'd become the Unemployed again.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
