Name: Alexis Zeke Alias: Silver Ryu (also called Silver or Ryu ) Age: 25 Powers: Alexis had found a strange orb a couple of years ago that gives him his powers: Silver: this power is a high defense power in general, from the center of his spine he can release a liquid silver colored metal that covers his entire body (like a symbiot), with crystal like visors on his eyes, the mass can be reshaped to make things like claws or swords, bigger things like wings however need to leave spots on the `skin` open as the mass is limited. The entire mass at least supports Alexis his muscles, as the "skin" is heavy, yet he can still move as good as always and even do a few feats better (like jumping from roof to roof or lift something heavy with more ease) but its nowhere near super strength, just a slight support. the mass can also be crystallized as the visors indicate for multiple purposes such as turning black to hide in darkness or turn diamond to increase defense some more BUT prevent movement, also the visor can change to give other types of vision such as heat, high speed and even night and zoom also it has at least 2 other shape it can take: Dragon shape: like shape where its body is covered by blades, it gains wings and a tail, BUT leaves the stomach area and lower legs open as that inside the mouth of the dragon head you can reach Alexis his head (what is both a danger to the hidden identity part and a danger in general for attacks), this shape however increases strength, high jumping due to the strength and heat vision Wolf shape: Taking on the wolf shapes his body turns more aerodynamic, walking on all 4's, having a wolf head and actually looks perfectly like a wolf in any way aside its silver color. The wolf shape increases speed to high levels, also increase agility, able to scale walls to a small degree with the right momentum, it has small claws what is not of much use for attacking and is made purely for scaling the walls, the tail is made from blades and on the chin it a small yet sharp pin, the visor is a high speed sight nonstop, objects can be placed in the back layer in order to safely transport them, the ears take in sounds from all sides working as a small range radar or long range eavesdrops system. trough he is pretty powerful his power is filled with weaknesses: -the "skin" need time to pull over Alexis, its a short time but its still vital as the area that is most important, his front(chest) gets covered last, so a quick attack, a sniper shot or something used right when he starts pulling the skin out of his back would go trough the opening before it covers the body completely. the skin is also not perfect, bullets of a normal gun do get stopped but always leave a bruise, a point blank shot or a sniper shot hurts like hell and would surely leave a huge mark and will hurt a long time, perhaps even deal some damage to the muscles under the skin's, explosives power in general would get blocked but the shock wave will surely deal its damage to his body under the silver, leaving Ryu with a concussion at least. -each visor sight has its own weakness, heat vision might be useful to see though a wall but it cant see who is who (at best it see's the difference between male and female), high speed will surely leave a splitting headache (and possible dizziness) the longer its used and thus cause problems concentrating and keeping up with things, far sight prevents seeing close by, night vision is most likely the only one with no problem but cant see in light area's -the black gem state is like any gem, a heavy thing so while it hides Ryu, if ryu walks on things like metal or hard ground, chance that he makes sound is high -diamond might take a sniper or even rocket hit, even prevent the damage explosive would deal him if he gets hit by it in basic silver mode BUT he cant move so its only useful for defense and its the hardest shape to make, taking some time in order to shape and he wont be able to keep it up forever. -the dragon shape has open spots on the armor and fixed heat sight so useless in a team fight yet needs team members to cover the weakness parts -the wings I mentioned are not for flight as the entire armor is to heavy, at most it can glide a little to prevent falling to death. -using any shape and falling in water will let Alexis sink deep in seconds due to the weight it gets in water, Alexis cant move due to the added weight during this and he sinks so fast that pulling the armor back into his back will still leave him to deep to swim back up, the armor would have limited air under water and only the dragon shape could walk under water BUT due open spots lets water in the armor, limiting air more and eventually end with drowning. The wolven shape might be better then the dragon due to increase of movement without lowering the defense of the silver class BUT, it has multiple other weaknesses, making it a good question which would truly be better: -Walking on all 4's means Ryu loses using his hands or most human based traits aside talking. -it has nearly no offensive ability's as the tail is hard to use in general, the chin pin can get stuck in the target (or other stuff he might hit if he misses the target) and the paw claws are not made for attacking with, being too shallow. -the visor just like the dragon cant be changed and will give Ryu a large headache the longer he is in this shape -the space of the objects on the back is limited of course. -the ears can only do one of the 2 options at the same time. there might be some more unknown qualities to the power like more crystal shapes and visor sights, but he needs to learn them and I will off course first ask if the new trait is acceptable Skills: Quick thinking and analyzing, high IQ (most things will be things I really know, but its a lot to just explain) Appearance: [img=http://2deer.files.wordpress.com/2013/07/kris-1.jpg] Costume: will give a drawing soon, but its his power, an body made from silver, no face aside 2 crystal visors on the eyes, a zigzag pattern on the jaw line, blue gems on the back of the hands, small points on the crown of the head, spine, elbows and knees, from the shoulders to the stomach their is a smooth pattern where on the stomach it ends as horizontal lines as if a second rib case, the chest is flat and featureless but extended as if a huge muscular chest is there, no visible, the feet have 2 points (like saber-tooth's boots in most of the comics) Personality: Ryu is normally cheerful, and wants to help, be a hero and more, when playing hero he tries to make stupid jokes, he can be a bit stupid at times (like realizing the could have just climbed by using his claws AFTER having been running for 15 minutes before finding a fire stairs and escaping like, or falling and taking diamond shape to break the fall, yet had been smarter to has opened the wings and glided safely) but he is not stupid, he can analyze things quickly most of the times, tends to talk to himself or think out loud, he hates to take a live and normally always looks for other options, but he is smart enough to realize that sometimes he wont have a choice if the live of innocents are on the line. History: When Alexis was a small kid he was saved by Spidy (before he retired) and from there on he wanted to be a hero just like him, having spidy as his role model (making up for the stupid jokes he tries to make) but aside that he had a tough life: Alexis had always been a little sheltered from other children, not making friends easily during his childhood, most that did became his friends had some ulterior motive... It was when he became 16 that he finally found a good friend with a girl and when he was 17 they even became lovers, but it all came down a year later. When the 2 got to spend the night together for the first time (since dating) a super powered villain with a lust for money broke into their home, took everything he could get and afterwards took his time to burn and destroy all other stuff n the house, including the residents. Alexis was the only one that had survived it by pure luck but during his ordeal he lost him home, his lover and only friend he has ever had and his parents... Having seen the burned up corpses of his parents he wished there would be more people like spiderman out there to take actions against these horrors, wishing he had some powers during all this so he could have saved the only people that have ever loved him... currently he is living in his parents old caravan, having a gas stove and getting water from shops (paying for them with the small heritage his parents left him) Unable to find or keep a normal job due to multiple reasons. During a trip out of New York, Alexis came across an old ruin hidden deep in a forest, Not having much to lose he just walked in hoping to find something interesting but all he found was a large empty room with some wall carvings and a strange throne in the center. Alexis just sat down on the thing, looking at the carvings, trying to solve the puzzle, it took him some time, more if he did not had some interest in archaeology, so this was a upside for once in his live and he learned something about 14 orbs and that one was supposed to be hidden in this room. Needless to say he went looking for it, curious what these orbs were, then he found it, in the throne in the wood far above his head, he had to climb on the thing to reach it, there was a single thing, it looked like a silver circle placed deep in the throne's stone frame. It was the only thing that stood out, a room where everything was rock and there was something silver in the throne. The moment Alexis fingers touched it the silver reacted, becoming liquid, gushing out of its stone encasement and covering Alexis before disappearing trough his skin. At first nothing else happened, and it was not until a year later that the silver thing appeared once more. an explosion at a shopping mall ended up making a large and heavy wall fall over right on Alexis. At first he thought he was done for but when he opened his eyes a silver layer had jumped out of the center of his spine, covered his back and his arms (in order to support the weight of the wall resting on his back). Due to this he was able to survive until he was rescued an hour later. From this point on he trained his new found power, learning all the secrets listed in the power section and becoming the Silver Ryu! Other: All other 13 orbs are already meant to chose Alexis, he wont be able to use them all at the same time, only one at a time and he needs some rest in order to switch between the orbs (with a chance of failure and ending up with an orb he did not want to use if he cant focus enough, or even not changing orb at all) so he wont be OP (each orb has its own powers and own weakness list, as that Silver, Black and Teal would be the top 3, the others are all weaker in general).
