[color=d8d8d8][B]| APPEARANCE: |[/B][/color]
[INDENT][color=a3b4bc]Joshua stands at 5’9”, with a weight of 165 lbs. He has short, brown hair, that no matter how many times he attacks it with gel, or a comb, always manages to end up as a messy flop on the right side of his face. He also has bright, crystalline blue eyes, with a piercing intelligence to them, that masks his ice cold hatred against the world. His most prominent feature, however, isn’t actually physical - it’s his voice. It has a cold smoothness to it, like running your hand against a perfect pane of glass, and is also rather calming, as though you were near the crystal clear springs of a forest. This seems to calm people, and they often say things to him that they’d normally think twice about revealing.

When it comes to tattoos, Josh only has two: a [url=http://creativefan.com/important/cf/2012/04/angel-tattoos-for-men/fallen-angel-tattoo.jpg]fallen angel tattoo[/url] located on the top of his right arm, and a [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/5a/75/cd/5a75cd2d8296ef9d864e26268b13be71.jpg]wolf tattoo[/url] in the center of his chest.

As for clothes, he can often be seen wearing crewneck t-shirts with flannel hoodies, or (if it’s warm) denim jackets. These are paired with cargo pants, fabric jeans and any other casual pants he can find. He’s found that darker clothes grant him more concentration, ipso facto making him able to utilise his powers much easier. It also grants his body less strain when using said powers. He doesn’t know why darker clothes work like this, but he figures it’s because of something to do with being a Hyperhuman.[/color][/INDENT]

[INDENT]​[color=a3b4bc]Hyperhuman[/color][/INDENT]
[color=d8d8d8][B]| CLASSIFICATION: |[/B][/color]
[INDENT][color=a3b4bc]MERCURY[/color][/INDENT]
[color=d8d8d8][B]| ABILITIES/SKILLS: |[/B][/color]
[INDENT][color=a3b4bc][color=d8d8d8][i][b]ABILITIES[/b][/i][/color]
[indent]There are multiple abilities that Josh benefits from under the MERCURY classification.
[b][u]Accelerated Perception[/u][/b]
Josh’s mind and senses process information at such speeds that time appears to have slowed down, allowing him to perceive what would normally be moving too fast, and respond accordingly. This allows him to dodge bullets, catch flies in mid-air, dodge and maneuver around complex attacks, catch falling objects, block detriments, etc. Also, when he’s alerted or alarmed, his senses sharpen, and he can smell, hear, see, and feel things a normal human wouldn’t be able to.
[b][u]Biological Alteration[/u][/b]
Josh is able to alter his cells, tissue and muscle, and thus make himself stronger. This also allows him to heal wounds and regrow tissue at a faster rate than other humans. It differs from shapeshifting in the way that he cannot alter all of his cells at the same time, nor can he keep them all sustained at the same time.
[b][u]Intangibility[/u][/b]
Joshua is able to move through objects and ignore most physical effects in his way by making his own particles able to move between other particles, and sometimes by vibrating his molecules into a new quantum frequency.[/indent]
[color=d8d8d8][i][b]LIMITATIONS & WEAKNESSES[/b][/i][/color]
[INDENT][color=d8d8d8]■[/color] If he attempted to alter all of his cells at the same time, he would lose his structure and become one big blob. His organ systems would also cease to function, starting with his respiratory system shutting down, and ending with his skeletal system collapsing.
[color=d8d8d8]■[/color] When intangible, he cannot move through objects made of organic matter.
[color=d8d8d8]■[/color] A SATURN-Type Hyperhuman would be able to render his Accelerated Perception useless if they sped up his perception of time itself.
[color=d8d8d8]■[/color] Despite having accelerated perception, he cannot sense things out of his peripheral vision, meaning that an attack from behind would catch him off guard. However, using a non-silenced pistol would alert him, thus sharpening his senses.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/INDENT]
[color=d8d8d8][B]| BACKSTORY: |[/B][/color]
[INDENT][color=a3b4bc]They tell you that when you grow up, you can be anything. A firefighter, a police officer, a paramedic, hell, even a lorry driver. All I wanted was to be successful; to own a company. But, instead, I ended up with these… powers. Who am I? I’m Joshua David Kain, the man who regrets everything. I was born in Los Paraíso, to Robert and Marissa Kain. I wasn’t like other kids - I had aspirations, and a longing for success. In school, I always detached myself from everyone else, as they all played on their Super Nintendos, Game Boys and Mega Drives. But they left me be, so that was a plus. I considered myself to be more mature and intellectual, deeming work to be important if you wanted to achieve anything in life. My grades were always above the rest, and some students looked up to me, desiring to follow in my footsteps. The others tried to steer them down the other path, with some of them succeeding. But those who stayed faithful would’ve achieved quite a lot. I don’t really know how much they [i]did[/i] achieve, all I know is that they wouldn’t have gotten to my level of achievement.

In high school, however, something terrible happened. It was a regular day - the older kids were running around, throwing paper everywhere and being jackasses, when one of them grabbed a bottle full of water and threw it at me. I braced myself for impact, and the inevitable black eye it would garner me. However, it didn’t hit me at all. Time seemed to slow down, and I instantly reached out and snatched the bottle, throwing it back. Time was restored to its usual pace, and it instead hit the asshole. He started running after me, and I legged it, but he caught up with me. And you know what? When he shoved me into the wall, I went right through it. [i]Without a scratch.[/i] I was sent home, and my parents deduced that “it was happening”. I questioned them relentlessly, until they finally told me what was wrong - I was a Hyperhuman; a freak with powers.

Enraged, I ran away from home that night. How could they keep that from me? To crush my hopes and dreams, and rid me of my will to live! And they had the audacity to say they had no idea! I would’ve killed myself, had I not been curious to see if there was a cure. I started getting rides from strangers (much to my dismay) and travelling around to find a good place to settle. Had it not been my worry of being convinced to embrace my powers, I would’ve gone to the P.R.C.U. Instead, I continued my life as a hobo, determined to find a cure. My adventures of nearly dying of dehydration and starvation repeated over and over for years, until the year 2014, when Yakob Kowalski started to rant about how all Hypes were monsters. He was right about that, of course, but H.I.T decided to step in and stop him. What if I could’ve talked to him, and gained a cure for my disease? If H.E.L.P hadn’t shut down then, I would’ve shut them down myself.

I continued to roam about more, until word of a Hyperhuman killer sprang up. I would’ve thought of what I could’ve said to communicate with them, but decided it was safer to train my abilities, so I could defend myself. Only the will to stay alive kept me going, and the prospect of someday finding a cure. Then, I heard about convoys going to a supposed safehaven for Hypes. At first, I thought it was just pathetic speculation, but I eventually ended up pursuing this “sanctuary” myself. And so, we are brought to the start of what may become the longest journey ever taken.

[color=d8d8d8][B]| MOTIVATION/OBJECTIVE: |[/B][/color]
[INDENT][color=a3b4bc]Josh never wanted to be a Hyperhuman, but with no evidence supporting a “cure” for it, his only goal is to be safe. His motivation tends to vary, but it’s mainly his will to survive that keeps him going. Sometimes it’s the prospect of a cure ever being eventually developed that wills him on, too.[/color][/INDENT]

[color=d8d8d8][B]| NOTES: |[/B][/color]
[INDENT][color=a3b4bc][color=d8d8d8]■[/color] Joshua has a Dr. Pepper addiction.
[color=d8d8d8]■[/color] He will refuse to be anywhere near someone who’s eating crisp flavours that he doesn’t like. Or any type of food he doesn’t like, for that matter.
[color=d8d8d8]■[/color] He takes an unnamed drug that he made himself, that enhances his sight and numbs any pain he’s feeling. Once the effects have worn off he spirals into a strange and peculiar high that makes him feel like he’s a a completely different person entirely, and lasts for thirty minutes to an hour. Afterwards, he passes out. He refrains from using it too much, but tries to write down as much as he can during the high.
[color=d8d8d8]■[/color] He will resort to cannibalism if it means he stays alive.
[color=d8d8d8]■[/color] Pepperoni. Nothing more; nothing less. No other ones that I like.[/color][/INDENT]
