[center] [color=f7976a]Real Name:[/color] Beiq'irq, was the name she recalls upon gaining sentience. To humans though, she tells them her name is Meredith Hillard - a name given to her by a man she had attacked shortly before gaining sentience. [color=f7976a]Superhero Alias:[/color] As a 'Supervillain' she was simply known as the 'Ravager', due to her beast-like nature and lack of any seeming intelligence, and the fact she devoured/destroyed everything she got her hands on. She doesn't really have an alias as of now, though. Superheroing isn't her thing. [color=f7976a]Gender:[/color] Female (though, she could switch genders easily if she ever wanted too.) [color=f7976a]Age:[/color] Easily old enough to be your Grand mum. But she tells everyone she's at a young, mature age of 30. [color=f7976a]Appearance:[/color] Meredith, has a two appearances she is most known for. Her first, is her common everyday appearance she uses before the students and other people.

Petite, but beautifully pale skin and tall, but not lanky or unattractive. Usually carries a bag of various items in it. Her other form is the 'You seriously done fucked up' form. Also what she [i]actually[/i] looks like - her natural grown form if you will. After being a parasite, and living off of another living creature for a [i]long[/i] time, most of her kind shed that skin and return to their natural forms, but Meredith rather likes her human form.

She stands around 7 feet, normally, but could easily change her size should she need to. Instead of walking, she moves more fluidly, thanks to the tentacles that replace her legs. Do not be fooled by her bodies soft appearance and feeling, it is a rather durable organic material that causes most attacks to simply be absorbed, but if she needed to, she could harden it to some sort of red-blood looking armor. The more bio-matter she stores and consumes, the larger her form becomes. There are members of her species as big as the empire state building, but they typically live deep in the ocean or deep underground, on her home planet. [color=f7976a]Power Set:[/color] Self Bio Manipulation/Absorption. She has control over her own body and can make her body do whatever she wants. Mostly used through some form of grotesque bone/skin/blood manipulation. Such as hardening the bones in her body to extreme levels, hardening her skin into nigh-impenetrable armor, and even using her own blood as projectiles. If its part of her body, she can manipulate it - even regenerate limbs or make new ones if she has enough energy. She could even change her appearance on a whim. Of course, the greater the change she makes, the more energy and strain on her body it uses. And to accomplish such feats, she has to absorb organic matter. As in, she literally must absorb outside organic materials. Plants, animals...[i]humans[/i]. Any organic, fleshy matter she can absorb to some extent, and then use the energy she gains from it to alter her body in extreme ways. [color=f7976a]Other Skills:[/color] - Excellent at Melee combat with a variety of weapons, which she easily has access to a lot of since most of the time an amalgamation of her bones and flesh is what she uses for weapons. - Highly intelligent. Logical thinking and puzzle solving is something she is so good at, some consider it another superhuman feat of hers. Untrue, as she thinks at the same rate as other humans. She simply learns things fairly easily and likes learning. - Despite her small size, she is quite strong - inhumanly so. She could easily punch a car and send it flying. - Speaks and reads a variety of languages. Dead and even some obscure alien languages. - She is actually able to telepathically communicate on some level to others of her kind. Not actual talking per se, but feelings and emotions, and general ideas. - Tends to think very logically, and not creatively. As such, creative solutions are not her thing. She'd rather do something the tried and true way, than improvise. (Also a bit of a weakness) [color=f7976a]Weaknesses:[/color] - Ranged attacks. Since her body relies mostly on itself in some form to fight, ranged fights are quite difficult for her. - Any part of her she modifies...well, she still feels pain should any new appendage be damaged in some way. - Could be fairly vulnerable while restructuring her form. Depends on how big and how complicated the change is. - Extreme heat and cold. While she is able to control her body, it is still flesh, blood, and bone fundamentally. She can change its natural hardness by making her bones out of pure carbon, changing the strength of her skin, and her muscle mass, it is all still fundamentally that. She burns rather easily, and extreme cold would make her sluggish and give her hypotermia, just as any human or other fleshy creature would. - Energy gained from absorbing organic matter can only be stored a few days, as such she tends to eat constantly. [color=f7976a]Subject:[/color] Biology. Anything dealing with the human body, bodies of animals, and other things she's a pro at. [color=f7976a]Personality: [/color] Honestly? Meredith isn't entirely all there. She's one of those people who always seems to be entirely 'too happy', with a smile on her face and a pleasant attitude to most things. She's often caught talking to herself, and actually having conversations with herself. And odd quirk, to be sure, and some question her sanity because of this. Other than that, Meredith is usually quite the friendly person. She's a bit on the hyperactive side - or possibly insane side, take your pick. Especially right after she absorbs some organic matter. More often than not, she acts like a kid rather than someone who's been around long enough to be some of their grandmas. She would rather hang out with the kids, than with the stupid adults and heroes, which annoys some of her co-workers to no end. She has a bit of a superiority complex, and does have the tendency to think she's the best thing on...erhm, two or three legs. Or no legs. Some days she has fun imitating a snail. Also tends to think she's the best looking thing too. Anyone who thinks their better than she is, is just one of the few ways to piss her off. Of course, under that friendly exterior, is the parasite 'Beiq'irq. While not exactly hostile, it is extremely violent and sadistic once it starts getting aggressive. While she does tend to avoid fights and conflicts, once she does fight...well, lets just say she thoroughly enjoys it. This, is the true personality of the parasite. It likes nothing more than to just devour and assimilate everything into her own biomass. Being eaten/absorbed by her, is not a pleasant way to go. Her people are a race of creatures that live and thrive off of absorbing other organic matter, and if given the choice they will always chose their own growth over other sentient beings. One must always keep that in mind - however, she is an oddity in that she actually cares to communicate with humans. Since they are the only sentient species on their planet, most use other animals as hosts, leading themselves to become a bit feral in the process. [hider=Backstory] Beiq'irq, is actually a parasitic being from the far reaches of deep space. Hatched - yes, hatched, on some swampy sea planet that orbited a bright red star. At least, that's about as much as she can remember about her home world. A group of alien biologists stumbled upon the planet and the curious organisms that lived there. She, was supposed to be sent back to their home world for testing. Well, she had other ideas. She wasn't sure what happened exactly, but some time during the flight, something went wrong. She was ejected out the airlock - and ended up in an earth graveyard in the early 1900's. She had intended to latch onto a human, and she did - but unfortunately, it was a recently deceased human which made the process go a bit...haywire. Instead of completely overriding the humans will and replacing it with her own, there was nothing to replace. The brain had already died, and since she was still a baby, a hatchling, she had no control over her own abilities yet. Infesting a dead body was a bit of a taboo back on her home world, at least for young ones. This caused a bit of a...problem, if you will. Since she couldn't assimilate the dead body, she had to do the best she could and unfortunately lost whatever semblance of 'sentience' she had in the process. Yep, she was essentially what some might call a 'zombie' for her first few years on the earth. A seemingly mindless creature with a desire to eat human flesh. As she consumed more, she started looking like something out of a Lovecraftian horror story. This continued for at least fifty or so years, with her staying out of the highly populated areas and eating on whatever unfortunate traveler that came her way. Somewhere along the way, the superheroes became aware of her presence, and labeled her as a threat. It wasn't until the 1980's did she finally gain sentience. After a fight with the superheroes in which she was almost completely incinerated, a scientist researching a way to combat cancer found a tiny little bit of her that wasn't incinerated. Curious, about the strange, grey goop that he found, he took it home with him. He was surprised, the next morning when he found that it had grown to almost double its original size, and now sported several grotesque eyes, tentacles, and a mouth. It seemed docile, for the most part, and the eyes followed him curiously around the room. After running a few tests on it, he found the curious little parasite that lived in the center of the creature. It wasn't until his own daughter was dying from cancer did he attempt to remove the creature and implant it into his daughter, in hopes of using its abilities to fight the cancer. It went horribly, horribly wrong. Finally free, she lashed out at the scientist. After a struggle, the scientist had removed the parasite from the fleshy mass, and did succeed in implanting it in his daughter. He didn't exactly get the result he was hoping for, but by the time Beiq'irq was conscious again, the scientist had expired. Beiq'irq, felt terrible about the things she had done after she had regained her sentience. For a time, she just disappeared off the face of the planet. Went off the grid, as they say. Of course, the superheroes all believed her to be dead from their last confrontation, so it was easy enough to assume the identity of Meredith Hillard. Who, became a pretty successful Biologist in the time. On a whim, she decided she wanted to be a teacher at the school, thinking enough time had passed that she could easily get in without too much trouble. She doesn't hide her identity, if asked, but she doesn't exactly like talking about it either. [/hider] Dear god this thing got long. Other: Tends to eat a lot of raw vegetables. Might get uncomfortably close to people sometimes. No sense of personal space. She likes touching things and people. Also, when she says she has eyes in the back of her head...she usually means it. By her peoples standards, she's still just a kid, which is probably why she still acts like one a bit. Even if she's technically nearing a century in human years, and has the knowledge, experience, and position to back that up, she's still a teenager when compared to others of her species, meaning she still has a lot of skills to develop. For a kinda brief example of her powers, think of her as a Necromporph from Deadspace xP Also, daredevil. (I seriously need to pay attention more sometimes >_>) [/center]
