– Da to his family.[1] | ||
Rook Da is Bralla's husband, and Blonko, Shar, Shim, Shi, and Ben's father.
Appearance
Rook Da has a blue face with a white beard. He has streaks of black fur going from his eyes to the ends of his beard, and streaks of black fur on his temples. A black line goes around his head, and he has orange, cat-like eyes with yellow sclera.
Rook Da's clothing consists of brown robes and pants, with a yellow coat-like vest worn overtop, tied at the waist with a large belt. He wears large, yellow boots, and has yellow bandages underneath the arms of his robes.
Personality
Da is a very hard worker, wanting to harvest Amber Ogia quickly.
Initially, Da didn't appreciate Blonko becoming a Plumber, and didn't take kindly to Ben, especially since he destroyed a large amount of Amber Ogia during a fight.[1] Over time, he has grown to be very proud of Rook Blonko and doesn't mind him being a Plumber anymore, and also respects Ben.[2] Da also gave his blessing to Rook Shar to become a Plumber, stating that he is very proud of her.[3]
Just like any other Revonnahgander, he deeply respects the elders, but was willing to protect Shar from Kundo, knowing that he would get hurt badly.[3]
History
Omniverse
Da made his debut in Bros in Space, where he appeared on Revonnah after Rook Blonko's arrival. After defeating the Muroids, Da told Rook that without tradition, he is nothing, but without Rook, tradition wouldn't survive, and he invited him to the next harvest, on the condition that Ben stays far, far away from Revonnah.
In While You Were Away, Da, along with the rest of the Revonnahganders, was brainwashed by Dr. Psychobos, but was returned to normal after Ben, Rook and Young One intervened. At the end of the episode, he said he was proud of Rook Blonko.
In Rook Tales, Da said goodbye to Shar as she was about to leave Revonnah for the Plumbers' Academy. He unsuccessfully tried to stop Kundo from arresting his daughter.
Powers and Abilities
Da has shown himself to be quite proficient in using weaponry, such as a flare launcher.[1]
Equipment
Da has flare launchers, which he used to fight off Muroids.[1]
Da uses a scythe to harvest Amber Ogia.[2]
Weaknesses
Da can be mind-controlled by Dr. Psychobos' machine after being exposed to his Ogia Concentrate.[2]
Relationships
Family
Rook Blonko
Blonko loves his father dearly, so much that he saw three copies of Da when he saw the Contumelia (as their true forms cannot be perceived by three-dimensional beings, who would instead see a Contumelia as an animate projection of what holds the most emotional sway over them).[4]
When Blonko found out that Master Kundo hurt his father, he was enraged, showing how deeply he cared about Da.[3]
At first, Da did not appreciate Blonko becoming a Plumber and he wanted his son to be around during the harvest season.[1] But eventually, he approved of Blonko being a Plumber and was proud of him.[2]
