[/indent][/indent] ▼ [b]| P H Y S I C A L D E S C R I P T I O N : |[/b] [indent]Doctor Olin is a large, and very physically fit individual of distinct reptilian origin. At over eight feet tall Henry towers over most anyone in the room- oftentimes by a full head, shoulders, and more. Due to his extreme bulk, Henry's clothing almost always fits well and is made in-house since there is no 'Lizardman' section in The Promise's GAP. Henry's scales gleam and have the same texture as a snake's, signifying his health. They are black and white in coloration, and have been ascribed to that of a Argentinian Tegu's. Aside from having a tail, scales, and claws, it is very obvious that Henry wasn't born this way and was very much human at one point. Five fingers, five toes, just like a person. Although his legs have mutated with his ankle joint extending outwards. Similarly, his head has mutated to a much more reptilian appearance- projecting forward into a snout.[/indent] [/indent] [center][h3][b]⫸ P S Y C H O L O G Y ⫷[/b][/h3][/center] [indent] [b]▼ | P E R S O N A L I T Y : | [/b] [indent]Doctor Olin is one of the nicest men one could meet. He has a reputation for making students do hard but rewarding work, and has shown to be both compassionate and understanding. Several students have caught themselves calling him 'Dad' due to his persistence to go above and beyond to assist students going through rough times. Due to his appearance, it is understandable as to why he is likely the least judgmental person on the ship. He's smart as a whip too, often telling bad jokes and cleverly worded puns- which is another reason why many students likely call him dad. Older students are often seen with him in the bars located around The Promise having a jolly time.[/indent] [b]▼ | B A C K S T O R Y : | [/b] [indent]The Doctor we all know now was born in 2038 When Henry was born, he was average weight, and had a full head of hair and looked like a little old man. He did nothing but scream and shit for three days after that. And for a while, Henry was a normal boy. He attended normal school, was normal height, and looked like a normal boy from a middle class Australian family. Then, when he turned twelve in secondary school, puberty hit him like a freight train. Unlike most, his awkward phase was extremely short. Also unlike most, he turned into a lizard monster. Within the span of a week he had literally eaten all the food in the house, undergone excruciating pain, and became literally the most pissed off kid you will ever meet (brooding teenagers have nothing on him). He quite literally nearly took his sister's hand off for trying to swipe away a spare meatball. If this was Oregon trail everyone's diets were set to bare bones for about eight days for sheer survival purposes as he literally ate everything (bite makes on the dinner table for evidence). Henry's mother took him to the hospital, and to many forms of therapists and none of which had ever seen something like him before. Henry was taken out of school, and as he regained control over himself and his body calmed down, he wasn't anywhere near what he was when the transformation began eight days before. Standing at a staggering 6'5 from his previous 4'11, and weighing in at a gaunt 210lbs, Henry was unhealthy, and overall sick, but still much larger and stronger than his own father (Who was about 5'10, ~170lbs). His body was still suffering the effects of the chemical changes and metabolism shift from warm blooded to lukewarm. His awkward stage continued for another week or so as his body adapted, and gained weight. He ate as much as before, but he wasn't as violent in doing so. Eventually he calmed down over the next two weeks, being a solid 401 lbs. At the weight of 411, he was actually capable of passing urine and passed his first stool since he began the change two and a half weeks before. When school started up again he did online school, and when the 8th grade year ended, Henry's family was contacted by the Academy program. Henry began to become smarter and excelled at work even more so than what his already intelligent parents thought he ever would normally. As he entered ninth grade Henry was enrolled at the prestigious Academy 221. Despite his inhuman appearance Henry's social life boomed at the Academy and it was the first time since his seventh grade that he interacted with people that weren't part of his immediate family. It is the sole reason why Henry is capable of functioning and excelling in society. No relationships though, as you can probably imagine. When Henry began tertiary school, his name was drawn and he was given the opportunity to continue his education on The Promise. Henry's feet have not touched Earth since 2066. He did return a year after accepting his invitation to join The Promise to be present for his sister's wedding. That was quite the event, considering that most of his family wasn't aware that he had... changed. The groom DEFINITELY wasn't. So it was a good time for everyone to see how he reacted when he met Henry for the first time. Henry has remained on The Promise since then, and hasn't expressed any interest to return to Earth. Since it is now 2073, he has completed his doctoral program and now teaches Biology and gym instructor[/indent] [/indent] [center][h3][b]⫸ P O W E R I N F O R M A T I O N ⫷[/b][/h3][/center] [indent] [b]▼ | P O W E R C L A S S I F I C A T I O N : | [/b] [indent]Super System, Power[/indent] [b]▼ | P O W E R D E S C R I P T I O N : | [/b] [i]Reptilian Physiology[/i] [indent]Doctor Olin has displayed a total of three powers- all stemming from his general physiology. The first and most easily recognizable, is his reptilian appearance. This trait has allowed him to take on the aspects that a large variety of reptiles from around the world share. Thick scaling, color night vision, and ages at a much slower rate than most. Like most reptiles, his body is incredibly resilient and he has displayed the ability to continue performing activities even when an alarmingly large portion of his body has been damaged. The second power branches off from his durability- a regenerative healing factor that still drops the jaws of many doctors and medical practitioners to this day. Doctor Olin can heal from what would be normally fatal wounds in [i]minutes[/i]. Stab wounds, cuts, and otherwise tend to seal in moments, and are completely healed shortly after. After losing an entire [i]arm[/i] in a training event, Henry displayed the ability to regrow a fully healed and functional arm in less than six hours. He also displayed the ability to revive and reattach detached limbs so long as they are freshly removed. This ability to heal so efficiently and quickly has removed Henry's instinctual urge to hold himself back in strength related activities. Under normal conditions most beings use only 20-30% of their potential muscle usage. Henry uses 100%, sometimes even more- resulting in muscle fibre damage and other issues that would be crippling if not for the regeneration. Henry's third power is the shortest and most unassuming. Henry is a power anchor, and metahumans with other power related abilities have shown to have no effect on him.[/indent] [b]▼ | L I M I T S | W E A K N E S S E S : | [/b] [indent]Henry's abilities are much more limited than they are weakened. For the most part, Doctor Olin has become a 'super soldier' capable of doing everything a small platoon can do and more. However, with size has come other complications. Henry cannot fit through some doors, cannot sneak for shit, and is always one of, if not the largest target. There are also other factors that must be accounted for. While his regeneration is incredible, it relies on Henry's ability to sustain himself. After the arm loss experiment, Henry was gorging himself in an effort to regain the mass necessary to regrow a limb. If he cannot compensate for it's usage, Henry cannot regenerate, and if that happens several more complications can occur. Finally, Henry's power anchor is a double edged sword. While no one can take away his power, no one can boost it either.[/indent] [/indent] [center][h3][b]⫸ O T H E R ⫷[/b][/h3][/center] [indent]Henry and Elias Winzer, Promise's techny and best codemonkey, once had a bet issued between them. What the bet specifically entailed, no one besides them have ever been told. Only small details have leaked out - bitcoins, placenta, Breakfast at Tiffany's, nothing that can reveal the bigger picture. As an ultimate result of the bet, Henry had to get a profile shot of Bill Nye the Science Guy tattooed onto his shoulder.[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Wednesday][center][h1]Wednesday[/h1][hr] [img]http://i.imgur.com/5la0Lrh.jpg[/img] [hr] [h3][b]⫸ B A S I C I N F O R M A T I O N ⫷[/b][/h3][/center] [center][h3][b]⫸ A P P E A R A N C E ⫷[/b][/h3][/center] [indent] [b]▼ | S T A T S : |[/b] [indent][indent] [b]▸ B I R T H N A M E : | [/b] Lesedi Badenhorst [b]▸ N I C K N A M E / A L I A S : |[/b] Wednesday [b]▸ G E N D E R : | [/b] Female [b]▸ A G E : |[/b] 20 [b]▸ H E I G H T : |[/b] 5'9 [b]▸ W E I G H T : |[/b] 174lbs [b]▸ E T H N I C I T Y : |[/b] South Africa [b]▸ Y E A R : |[/b] Freshman [/indent][/indent] ▼ [b]| P H Y S I C A L D E S C R I P T I O N : |[/b] [indent]Built like Miesha Tate, and about five times more likely to hurt you, Wednesday is not just a pretty face with a ripped body. Standing at five foot nine and weighing in at over 170lbs, she's not a petite spitfire either. Her body is muscular for a woman's, and is littered with small scars from various experiences in her life. The most prominent scars she has are whip scars that litter her back and vary in size. If you couldn't tell, JunkMail is right shit at describing this character and really just wants to submit her- so if you want to reference what she looks like- look at the appearance.[/indent] [/indent] [center][h3][b]⫸ P S Y C H O L O G Y ⫷[/b][/h3][/center] [indent] [b]▼ | P E R S O N A L I T Y : | [/b] [indent]Wednesday is in general is a rough person. Sure, she can smile and laugh and in general have a good time, but it's usually at someone else's expense or misfortune. She can be a bit standoffish and a good way to define her would be 'generally mean unless you catch her in a good mood'. She's the type of girl that you would let walk six blocks home alone because you know for a fact that you have a greater chance of being mugged or killed or worse than her. Her very presence dominates most situations she's a part of, from social gatherings to a day in the classroom. Not surprisingly, Wednesday can be very polarizing. People are either drawn to her for her confidence or hate her guts for her cockiness. Not that she really cares, let alone notices. Wednesday tends to be very self-involved, yet carries a sureness and a charm that others admire. She's a natural born authoritarian leader, and she knows it. Wednesday is the type of person you'd text, that you only text because you either need something you know she will deliver or because you want someone beaten up, that reads your message and forgets to respond to it for a few days. [/indent] [b]▼ | B A C K S T O R Y : | [/b] [indent]Before Wednesday was brought into the mess she currently is, she lived on the streets in a low income area of Cape Town where crime was fairly commonplace. Because she spent a good deal of her time on the streets from a young age, she became accustomed to violence at a young age and for a long time, she was able to keep her abilities off the radar. However, one slip up in self defense broke the flood gates. Word of her abilities spread, and a metahuman of her calibre made her a valuable asset to some gangs in the area, and to other gangs who hated the idea of a meta, a target. Over time what little family she had wasn't safe in her presence. After a few break-ins, she was arrested and eventually placed in an Academy program. There, she was pressured into joining The Numbers Gang in order to guarantee the protection of her family. Due to her abilities and lack of real competition, she very quickly became the face of the gang. She was referred to as the 'Fire Salamander' in her area. This stage in her life was when she fell in love with being in a position of power. No one fucked with her or her family without suffering massive bodily damage or worse from either herself or the gang. For a time she saw herself as invincible. However, other gangs still wanted her, or wanted her dead. When she wasn't being forced to hone her abilities the Academy way, she was training on the streets. Gang wars were common place- and eventually her body count and property destruction warranted Promise intervention. Once The Promise set their sites on her, her perceived invincibility was very quickly shattered. For several months she was able to evade them with her gang's protection, but it was a losing game that she could not play and defend her family at the same time. Now she's being sent to The Promise by force- and anyone who watched the local news probably heard about her. Due to her rebellious nature she has made herself a real big pain in the ass for The Promise's... everything. Be it the troopers, surveillance team, or anything else. She really goes out of her way to make their lives difficult. But now she's being lined up to take off into space. Wonderful.

Her body is several thousand degrees celsius to the touch- and she has a horrible habit of setting anything even remotely combustable on fire if she's too close. [list] [*][b]Manifestation[/b] - When Wednesday activates her powers, she most commonly superheats the plasma that is already present in her blood. When activated, the portion of her body that she focuses power in becomes molten in coloration. The appendage, usually her hands, are comparable to liquid glass in temperature. However, [b]any[/b] portion of her body can be superheated, and she can superheat a sizable portion of her body (an entire arm/leg/whatever). [*][b]Projection[/b] - Even when not in her plasmatic form, she is still capable of generating a good deal of heat if she wants to. She will however, rapidly change into her other form. Wednesday weaponizes her abilities by superheating the air around her to levitate, and can often times fire streams of plasma so hot that it combusts the air around it. She also has a bad habit of setting everything on fire. This can obviously lead to some pretty serious environmental damage. [*][b]Physiology[/b] - When Wednesday activates her powers, she transforms from her regular and very human self into a being who's entire body is composed purely of plasma and energy. She is a destructive force in this form, and she can cause deadly burns to anyone or thing grabbing her. She becomes almost entirely immune to explosions and energy based attacks in this stage because she has yet to come in contact with anything weaponized that gets as [i]hot[/i] as she does. However, she is still vulnerable to the concussive forces generated by them. If a grenade is thrown at her, often times the force of the explosion will do far more damage than the actual explosion. [/list] [/indent] [b]▼ | L I M I T S | W E A K N E S S E S : | [/b] [indent]Wednesday doesn't have a large variety of weaknesses beyond that when she activates her power, she cannot use it all over her body unless she is under extreme stress, and even then, activation of her secondary form is sporadic at best. Her power has more limitations than it does weaknesses. To put things in perspective, it is near impossible to create clothing that doesn't combust when exposed to temperatures comparable to those found on the surface of the sun's. She also has a bad habit of leaving destruction in her wake. She also is no tougher when she activates her powers (aside from her second form) than she is as a regular human.[/indent] [/indent] [center][h3][b]⫸ O T H E R ⫷[/b][/h3][/center] [indent]Due to years of hardship, Wednesday is familiar with a fairly wide selection of guns- going as far as to prefer using them over her powers.[/indent] [/hider]
