Helix

Helix is a playable character in ARMS. He is a mysterious, stretchy being created by scientists at the ARMS Laboratory. His gameplay style revolves around evading enemy attacks.

Appearance
Helix is a translucent humanoid blob made of, by default, what appears to be a green, gelatinous goo. His arms resemble models of DNA molecules, sporting a neon pink and blue sugar-phosphate backbone and yellow nucleotides. Out of the top of his head sprout hair-like protrusions that match the sugar-phosphate backbones of its DNA arms. He has, by default, a pink lipped mouth with a row of upper teeth. Helix does not have eyes, instead wearing a rectangular metal mask, which appears to have an array of small lights with two eye-like illuminated spots, along with a small metal visor. He wears a harness that covers its chest and back, which has helix’s logo on it in an orange circle, and has the ARMS logo on the straps.
