Onsen the Bearserker

Before the chaos, Onsen was just a chill bear running a quiet hotspring in the mountains—no combat skills, no ambition, no clue. When the eldritch horrors attacked, he panicked… then calmly waddled behind Brad and Buckshot, assuming proximity to power was its own kind of survival strategy.

It almost worked—until he got captured.

Dragged into a twisted underground lab, Onsen was forcefully chosen as a test subject. The logic? “Big bear, big vessel.” They infused him with a volatile, ancient eldritch deity, expecting the bear to implode or go mad. Instead, Onsen's stubborn body absorbed it… and now the two are stuck together.

The result? A fire-fueled, armored behemoth with volcanic rage, glowing eyes, and flaming roars. The deity inside constantly whispers destruction—but Onsen’s still more concerned about missing breakfast and his towel collection.

He didn’t ask for this. He didn’t train for this.

But now he’s a walking extinction event… and still somehow the most relatable one in the squad.

Pelted Chaos is a Contra-inspired run 'n gun game currently in development. This GIF/Image showcases an early concept. Everything shown is a work in progress, NOT ACTUAL GAMEPLAY, and subject to changes.
