[hider=Tree Dude] Alias: (can't think of anything good). Real name: Gorm Daronga. Age: 134 standard earth years. Gender: None, male type. Appearance: Gorm is roughly the size of a large, muscular, male human. But that is where the similarities end. He is a plant, and looks like a tree specifically grown to mimic a human. He has a face similar to ours, a mouth than he can talk through, a nose to smell with and eyes to see. He lacks any sort of body hair or nails, but can grow claw-like spikes at the ends of his “fingers” if a need should arise. Basically, he does anything he can to look as human as possible. To hide his identity he goes for the old “trenchcoat, hat and glasses”, which works better than he could imagine. [hider=image][img]http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t348/patribalanovsky/plant_human_small.jpg~original[/img][/hider] Personality: Gorm is a very friendly person who will always help those who befriend him in any way he can. He is not very talkative, and will mostly think anything he says through thoroughly before speaking. With this out of the way Gorm is a very confident and straight-to-the-point kind of guy. Short Biography: Gorm is a dimensional traveller from another earth. His earth is dying fast due to an environment turning hostile. He came to this earth in search of artifacts for his sanctuary, a dimension currently free of life, but which will support it. While this earth has some severe problems with nature, there are more pressing issues that he will help with as well. In return, he expects help from his new super-friends with gathering the artifacts. Powers, Skills & Equipment: Gorm’s race has evolved from sentient plants instead of creatures. This race has travelled to this dimension many times before and shared their culture which explains how tree-worship is so common. Apart from dimensional travel, Gorm can also meld with any material he comes into contact with, either by changing his own cells into the material, or the slightly more advanced technique of going into the material itself and move around freely. [hider=Powers] Plant growth - Gorm is a living plant, and can therefore grow as he wishes. He can even transform his own body entirely if there should be a need for it. So far he has kept a basically humanoid body, but could create an extra pair of arms, a tail, spikes, stingers, vines… Anything, given enough sunlight and water. This growth is super-accelerated compared to the natural growth of plants in this dimension. An arm would take about three minutes to grow from scratch. Dimensional travel - Gorm’s race can travel to other dimensions at will. This is because they are rooted into the essence of the earth and the dimensions are only different perspectives to his race. While he moves in one dimension he will also move in all the others. Melding 1 - The cells that make up Gorm’s body is fundamentally different to those found in this dimension. They can change at will into pretty much any substance or material, ledning all pros and cons of that material to Gorm. There must be present a large enough sample for this to work. At least enough to be held in both hands. Melding 2 - This more advanced technique builds upon the first melding. Gorm’s cells will take on the properties of the material, and this will allow him to “go into” the material at will. Note that the material must exist in enough quantity to allow Gorm’s whole body to fit.[/hider] [hider=Skills] Biology A-student - While Gorm is not in detail familiar with this dimension or its flora and fauna, he does possess a deep understanding of its basic principles and can therefore deduce much information from very little, but he might be using the wrong words for humans to understand as well.. Plant empathy - Because Gorm is a plant, he shares an empathic bond with many plants just like a human would with a dog or a cat. Sapling - Gorm can combine his anatomy with any plant in any dimension and “take over” their properties permanently. [/hider] [hider=Equipment] Nothing to speak of. [/hider] Weakness: As a plant Gorm have no need of food, but can survive entirely on water and sunlight. This of course means that if he was cut off this these power sources he would quickly lose power and die within a few days. Fire is another big hazard. Full Biography: Coming soon. Fun facts: Gorm hates “save the environment”-activists. Gorm can eat just like a human, he just doesn’t like the taste. Gorm once visited a dimension currently in an ice age and nearly died. Gorm loves the sound of people playing ping-pong. If he’s fed with dyed water, Gorm will change colour. Gorm has never been peed on by a dog. [/hider]
