Our Own Hurt Discussion (please delete)

[recklessgod]

That sounds like a really good idea! I'm up for it.

[kotalicious]

Sorry for the inconvenience but I'm really busy today and I'm not sure if I can get a post in. If I don't post tonight I should be able to post tomorrow.

[bad2thebonedog]

I'll try to post soon. I've been very busy the past few days plus school starts tomorrow.

Hi. I'd love to join this rp. Are there open spots still? I was thinking to be a rebel who's been in the camp a while, so as not to expand the numbers any more than needed.

[recklessgod]

I'd be fine with that.

The Basics
Name → Erin Tellan
Gender → Male
Age → 26
Role → Sided with rebels

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Appearance
His physical appearance is hard to nail down, but if he is entirely isolated in a dark room, his appearance will revert to a man in his mid-twenties, of average height, and with short, light brown hair and grey-blue eyes. He's fit, but not muscular; and as a general rule he can hold his own in a street fight, but would rather not go up against any other mutant. His powers are specifically defensive and used to avoid conflict.

It's difficult for him to drastically change his entire physical appearance. It burns up a lot of energy to generate cells, especially if he is attempting to go for a particular look. For example, he can't suddenly gain large muscles and unbreakable bones when facing an opponent, unless if there was an incredibly large stockpile of food near-by. And if he's met someone with large muscles or unbreakable bones. Even then, the transition wouldn't be very quick. He much prefers to blend in, and wears practical, dark to black clothes. He avoids any material that may reflect light, and keeps to soft materials that make a minimum of noise.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Powers
His main power is admittedly reminiscent of a shape-changer of some sort, but there's no true control. It's more a steady shift in appearance; it's as if he slowly absorbs various physical and biochemical attributes of organisms and environments that he is interacting with. For example, you may meet him and strike up a conversation. He arrived with bright blue eyes, but by the end of the talk he leaves with your eyes. When he is in a steady emotional sate, the changes are subtle, nearly undetectable. But if he is startled while leaning against a tree, his skin will immediately become the same colour as said tree. Within a minute, the texture will match, and if he waits long enough, organs other than skin will change colour, such as the iris and sclera of the eye, the inner tissues of the mouth, the teeth, and fingernails.

This, of course, is nearly useless while clothed. He avoids all colours but the darkest, and prefers wearing clothing with no metal or plastic to avoid reflection of light. He's never had any training or support aside from the rebels he's been with for the past year, and he's only just discovering that camouflage and species imitation aren't the limits to his power. For the past month he's found himself with a songbird's eyes and snake scales. It took nearly two days to get rid of them.

As for his secondary power, he is able to amplify the powers of others. Physical contact is necessary for this to happen, and he has no influence over their power during contact. With certain powers, or perhaps people, he has very little effect, and the primary power is effected more strongly than the secondary. During the connection, physical and mental pain and exhaustion is often shared and occasionally absorbed by him, and when the connection is cut, he is often worse for wear rather than the other person.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Brief Background
He was born to a single mother, with no father in the picture. His mother, being a resilient, intelligent human being and mother, tried her best to give her son the life he needed. His powers were fairly low-key as a youngster, mostly just a steady absorption of facial features, usually resulting in people commenting on how much he looked like his mother. Then his body was flooded with hormones during that dreaded phase known as puberty, and his powers grew along with him. His teen years were suffered through, and he came out into the world of the young adult knowing how to hide who - and what - he was. Not that he could control it, per say; rather, he controlled his emotions, and therefore limited the times his power showed itself to the world.

(still WIP)

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Personality
(WIP, too.)
His personality matches his power well. He easily swings from calm and thoughtful, to passionate and far too focused. He's very clever, and uses - occasionally abuses - this advantage. Often he will start a conversation with someone, expecting that they know the subject, despite the first half of the discussion having taken place in only his mind. This will confuse new acquaintances, and even his closest of friends find it, at the very least, exasperating. He is an excellent judge of character, but may, at times, be too quick of a judge. He is an open book (to the few who can read it) but can hide his thoughts and feelings like an expert, if need be. With his power being linked to his emotions, he has learned over the years how to hide, and erase, emotions. In the rebel camp, however, he rarely does so. He feels safe in expressing himself, both emotionally and physically.

▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂▂

Relationships
Boy/girlfriend or spouse → nope
Crush → nope
Orientation → Bisexual
Family → His mother (human, alive)
There may or may not be a living father.
Either way, he has powers.

Other
Face claim: David Anders Holt
Also, definitely a WIP.
